I wouldn't disable the firewall - that can end nasty. If you are using windows firewall just add ggxx.exe into the exceptions list and you are good to go.

/ARGGG I thought I'd finally got the basics down... but right now I feel like the stupides nubtard there is. SLAYER - MEH! It feels like I don't do any damage - and whenever I just have the slightest weakspot I have this friggin' fist charging right into me... It's probably all due to me beeing a silly scrub (still *sob*) but maybe some of you veterans can give me some advice here. Just fyi - I am talking about #R: no PS2 anymore so AC just collects dust until I find someone that wants to play with me and has a console with chip. Anyhow... all my usual pressure strings are null and void and I am pretty much frustrated to the max right now. Gonna keep on analyzing Slayer's moves and polish on mine so I don't give that many openings... but yea, any other things for the specific matchup? I got the feeling he won't float like the others will, I always get this pink fist hammered through my attacks and MEH. JUST MEH! *throws away controller and goes off to buy some beer* edit: it's still the ugliest experience for me to fight Slayer, but I am getting there. lot's of counter, very careful pokes and tatamis... and hell, if there is an opening I just gotta get my damage done. very very little room for slacking - which in the end is gonna kill me over until I stop doing so many silly things. head's up for all netplayers: if you want to piss me off without end, play Slayer. o.O

Having skype or vent to bypass the lack of chat is a lot of fun - some way of communication really gives netplay another depth. IRC is fine and dandy but I rather play fullscreen and have a talk. -.-

Aloharrr to everyone. I'm a longtime-addict to fighting games - they are like crack for me - and while cleaning up the place here I found my old Guilty Gear CD. During the last years I mainly played Melty Blood FT, Rag Doll Kung Fu and good ol' SF or MK on the SNES. After digging back into GG I can't really tell why I never got serious on this game, it's so much fun! Thanks to the nice guide I managed to get everything rolling quickly; and of course got beaten to a bloody pulp by some A and B ranked players. ^^ Too bad I already had to notice those cheapscapes who run off when they are about to loose against an F-rookie. Anyhow, I am gonna make this short - new gamepad should be coming soon, until then I will whoop you with my keyboard and keep training up. Avast; and off I go... md|geist | MDGEIST | Flensburg, Germany | Delay 4 Baiken is fun to play with, guess I will stick to her for a while and learn the basics.
