Sounds good, thanks. I do 2 & 3 (except I don't write it down). I picked a main around Christmas, when I got the game, and did all the various single player content (except MOM, which I'm still on) before online. Tutorial was good. And some missions. I can only play on weekends, so one month of training...hmm. Not sure how much time I'd put in each Sat/Sun, but would feel odd refusing fight requests from PSN friends. Frame data I see in character subforums sometimes, or I'll hear in video guides for characters. I guess I can look it up in training this weekend, though. I like improving in fighting games, but haven't done tourneys in a long time.

I can only play weekends when I visit my brother. I noticed mornings work for you. I'm an early riser, so Sat morning works for me. And I'm on PSN quite a bit most Saturdays (making up for a week of no PS3) and part of Sun. Norcal beg/intermed. FT10 this weekend hopefully.

Hope to connect with someone in this topic or the site. I did get a good set in yesterday w/a PSN friend not on dustloop, though. And there are always randoms, which can work out OK.

I'll send out invites to people in this topic tomorrow. Or invite me. I've got some mains/subs figured out, but hope to improve a lot. Might be switching Pote for Slayer...or Venom.

OK, great. I finally watched that video (wish I'd done that long ago). Now I feel like I know the character a lot better.

Hm, my timing must've been off. I couldn't do what I saw in the video. Maybe I'm not the only one still slowly working their way though 14-16, 18-28, 30, 33 & 44, 43 & 44, 48 & 49, 51 & 52, 54-57... They might be a bit easier when the update hits. I've been doing vs. a few more challenges I could manage & M.O.M. since I hit the wall on these.

Got it, thanks. I forgot if there was a BT overdrive combo in challenges or if one's somewhere in this topic. I've managed half the challenges & have read all the pages of this topic.

Today was an offline (M.O.M.) day for me on Xrd. Glad I got some good matches in Saturday online, since I can only play weekends.

Anyone playing this weekend? Guess it's worth a shot posting to find out, thanks.

Just started maining this guy & read through a lot of this, wrote some stuff down & have used the simpler stuff. Thanks. Anyone use the overdrives in situations? Or just save the meter for other stuff?

I'm NA2 (w.coast US), weekend only Faust player (hope to main/sub Leo & someone else too), but am still fairly low-level. I could use matchups vs. anyone. I don't get many matches from the matchmaking thread on weekends. Maybe this will help. Thanks!

Nice, this is the first time I've seen that. I didn't think anyone ever managed to get them all down. There are so many, that I haven't even seen some by playing & watching others. This one's funny for Yukari vs. a female opponent: -These clothes are easy to move around in, but they're a bit tight in the chest... Hey, where are you looking! Enough with the staring! First time seeing these for Liz: Vs Akihiko:By the by, it seems you are wearing nothing under that cape.... Could that be the secret of your strength? Perhaps I should try it myself... Vs Yukari:That clothing... Could it be what those legendary vibrantly colored warriors wore? I'd definitely like to be added to your group as Velvet Blue. Teddie: -A frenzy of punches, glistening sweat, and an exchange of blows with a rival... That's youth, baby! Now, let's run towards the sunset! Junpei: Vs Rise:I can't believe I ended up fighting the real Risette...! *gasp* Is this a behind-closed-doors thing? Are the paparazzi gonna come after me!? Marie: Vs Aigis:Huh... So you're a rowbot. Do you have an eclectic loutwit? Can I watch TV? Aki: Vs Mitsuru:Ha... You really are exceptional when you're in serious mode. You're the perfect sparring partner to hone each other's skills. Here's a nasty one for vs. play, but not many people use S.Ken: -We could go again, but it'll only turn out the same way. Oh, sorry, are you too stupid to understand that? I could go on, but will end with this one: Yukiko: -The Amagi Inn's hot springs are highly effective on wounds and bruises! Please follow me and I'll show you the way!

That helps, thanks.

That guide I linked to wasn't as helpful as your post except for #20- W.Throw>2HS>j.>block>throw worked a few times. Couldn't get 2HS to connect after Gunflame. Just cleared a a lot of them, but still have some to go: 14-16 (can't get a single medal on these- no clue what a successful attempt looks like) 18-28, 30, 33 & 44, 43 & 44, 48 & 49, 51 & 52, 54-57 Can't get that Sin combo for the IK to work. Wish it was very easy for me. Maybe the RC doesn't work due to my timing? A lot of ones where you need to get 80 or more damage don't work for me because "Failed" appears the instant after I block. No counterattack even gets to happen. Then, if I do get an attack, I can't reach 80 damage. Anyone know what character & combo to use? Thanks for your time.

I'll be online today & Sun., and will try inviting people, especially other CA people that just posted. Feel free to invite me as well.

OK, thanks. Hopefully I'll find combos that do 100-120 damage. Maybe K>P>S>HS for someone.

Made some progress, and will try some more this weekend. But I'm mainly focusing on M.O.M. & vs. online now that Arcade & Story are done. Mission 14: V.Viper on wakeup- Never seems to come out, despite all kinds of timing attempts. Mission 22: Not sure what move to B.Shield & what combo to do for 80. Mission 23: Not sure where you should stand to jump for air B.Shields Still need a lot of the others after 23, but will be patient. Not sure what character or combo to use for getting 100/120 damage in some. Thanks for any extra tips.

I'm a w. coast rookie as well. Been trying to get some vs. play with people in this topic for about a month (weeekends). So far I've played vs. HMMixer. You can invite me or I'll invite you if you have time this weekend.

I just finished Arcade & Story. My bro & I really enjoyed it. So much great art/design/animation. And the story was entertaining for me. I'm pretty curious about Faust now thanks to the extra bit at the end.

I'm a weekend rookie NorCal player, so we might have some good matches. I'll try sending an invite, or invite me. Same for anyone else in the topic who has the time/good connection.

Ah, you're right. I'm so used to just visiting here, GFAQs & YouTube, I forgot it could exist elsewhere. For anyone interested, here's a link to what I found: http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/guilty-gear-xrd-sign/255966-guilty-gear-xrd-sign-mission-mode-guide.html Thanks for the epic post of tips, though! Now I have two good sources of info.

Thanks for the tips in here to get some more of these done. GameFAQs doesn't have info on some of these (and no FAQ), and I haven't found anything on YouTube for some of these. Ones I still can't figure out/clear: 11 (probably just need to jump more), 13-16, 18-28, 30, 33-38, 40-44, 46-58 Some of the character specific ones seem tricky since the inputs aren't listed (combo damage amounts). Thanks for any tips on these.

Good, thanks. Zuki is one of the toughest for me to beat. I'll take any small tip I can get.

I'd like to join any beginner rooms this weekend. I can't seem to get matches with random people. I'm w.coast US, so hopefully the connection will be OK.

I feel odd being the guy w/o a mic (can't make out what's being said) & am not really new anymore (though I'm barely intermediate). Instead of taking a spot from new people, I'll try to start a group that's region-specific (w.coast US/mountain) for 2/3-bar connections if possible. Or a low-intermediate group(?) Enjoy the group, and thanks!
