Don't kid yourself, Guilty Gear was anime from day 1. I'd like to remind everyone that the first game in the damn series had a roster with pirate loli May and reverse weeb Chipp on it, with androgynous male midriff grim reaper and "Literally Kenshin with breasts" as unlockable characters. Maybe instead of putting labels on everything to justify personal bias, you could just enjoy the damn game? Seriously it doesn't even matter if it's anime or not as long as the gameplay is good lol.

Good. Tutorial modes are nice to have in fighters but I think they should start teaching abstract concepts to newbies. I never played Skullgirls tutorial but I heard it taught things like footsies/mixups/spacing/etc.

I can make the avatar myself, but can anyone get me a nice hi res screenshot of the sheep demon thing from Bedman's hemi jack overdrive? The 4gamer wiki has a nice shot of it but it's cut off by Ram-chan http://wiki.4gamer.net/theme/4gamer/ggxrd/ss/bed/61.jpg

It looks like the hallway to a hospital, and someone walking into a patient's room and giving them a stuffed dog which looks identical to the giant dog on the stage itself. Trippy stuff.

Hard to have in game pics of a character that isn't in the game, unless you mean story mode. On that note, who all DOES have a network avatar?

I feel you, but there's no reason to think she's NEVER coming back. She has a model for story mode, so it's pretty much a given that she CAN return now. I just don't know what would make you think she'd be back for this iteration specifically.

I didn't know where else to post this, but has anyone figured just wtf is going on on the monitor in Bedman's stage? Does it mean anything at all to his character?

What would make you think she'd be playable this version anyway, unless you mean seeing her in story which...well just wait on someone to get a pic we know she's there.

There a mirror for Arc Live yet? I just woke up so I missed out

For those of you already calling doom and gloom over Xrd netcode, I question if you experienced the fickle bullshit that was AC+R netcode. Hope you don't like FRCs!

ElvenShadow has said like a million times now that it looks exactly like the PS4 version.

This is the next level of DLC milking yo. First they made CS1 have the worst announcer in the world so you'd buy a DLC one, now this. The next game is gonna have character color palettes that look like those 420 no scope MLG videos on Youtube and then charge 8 dollars a pack for colors that won't turn your retinas into goop.

A giant projectile is enough to be op? Really? In THIS series?

This is why I talk about waiting out the actual sequel so much, not because I think that just because I dislike CP2 means everyone has to. We have no idea how (or if really TBH) CP2 will be handled on console, but if you want my opinion I'd say just let them get into CP1.1 as they normally would. Since CP2's console status is uncertain, that means you have more time with the 1.1 game, so I say go for it anyway. I know that sounds like a contradiction but if you don't mind CP2 there's no reason to quit BB until it comes out, just play what you have and get people into the series proper.

So his stance gives him a cross up move?

I'm with it. TBH I wish more games had the option to tone down stages, maybe we'd be able to play stages that aren't the same netplay approved stage every time.

Fortunately it's not just one character then lol. Everyone except Sol, Ky, Millia and May sounds like dookie. Why the fuck does Slayer sound like some 17 year old doing a bad Sean Connery impression wtf. Very disappointing ocnsidering BB dub was solid.

I got the opposite lol. People in BBCP used to send me hate mail telling me to kill myself for JPN Relius : ( I really don't get the concern with the slowdown, if you have a option to turn the graphic intensive shit off just do it lol. Not like it hasn't been done before, everyone and their mom who has attempted Melty netplay knows that sometimes you gotta turn the stages into boring static shit for a decent connection. Personally I could give a fuck less if the stage is a startk white void of blankness if the match runs well.

Bingo. It's not easy,but the best thing you can do is at least try and make your game look appealing to your friends. I too know how intimidating it can be to try and introduce your game to your local playerbase, but if you don't try you'll never get anywhere. Even if it's just as simple as something like "Hey man, I really like this game and I think you should check it out" that's at least an endeavor itself. I really can't think of a reason why you'd refuse to play a game you like because it's "dead" unless you're playing for lots of money and using that to sustain itself, and good luck making a living out of playing anime games in the US lol. So yeah, just try and see if you can get people interested in your game. Bring your copy, a setup, whatever works for you. Trying and failing is at least better than being miserable about results that aren't guaranteed.

Like Tong said 2.0 was the worst thing they could have done. It changed the game in a way that makes most people either unhappy,bored or apathetic. An actual sequel will probably fix that.

Some of you have it twisted. If it was as simple as "My char got nerfed how will I ever adapt?!?!?!?" then that would be one thing. I can't speak for everyone, but for me I just question why CP2 even needed to happen. 1.1 seemed like it did a decent job of updating the game. CP2 just feels like an update for the sake of having one, like they're trying to make the game relevant. If that's truly the case I don't understand at all, because CP was (and stll is) far from irrelevant, and continues to be very popular. Most of us have no problem adjusting to the changes (At least, I wouldn't. I suppose I shouldn't speak for anyone but myself) but again, are these changes really necessary or beneficial to the game? And as has been said, the two new characters really could have been handled better. I'm not saying CP2 is gutter shit or anything, but it just doesn't seem like something I want to play, and nobody should ever feel obligated to continue playing a game they aren't interested in. If you're not making a living off FGs, I can't think of many reasons why you should devote yourself to a game that you don't enjoy.

Everyone else is throwing in their opinions so here's mine Good: Ky, May, Sin Acceptable: Sol, Slayer, Millia Bad: Everyone else Garbage: Bedman,Venom, Ramlethal Sticking with JPN.

Indeed, it would be secluding yourself from the GG experience, and we should all know that seclusion isn't happiness.

2.0 is mostly an update that I question the purpose of. Were people really unhappy with 1.1? It seems like it only exists to add new characters, and it seems to be established that that could have been done better, given that there is literally no reason to play Lambda over Nu and Celica suffers from some really bad design choices. It just seems like a case of fixing something that isn't broke, but whatever I guess. It's just that it seems so unnecessary that it's given me BB ennui if not outright disinterest.
