Any reason why Hauppauge HD PVR isn't that good, Kurushii?

Slashbacks are a 2 frame window to block an opponent's attack, and after a failed attempt you have 30 frames where you're completely unable to block, so yeah. Like you said, you hardly get knocked back and have greatly reduced blockstun, but it also raises the Tension Pulse, which is the rate at which you gain tension. It can even raise it past the normal levels a character can have, so it's actually even more rewarding. Still...not that good of an idea to use it unless you're 100% confident you can do it.

They're comparing it to Marvel, so I'm not sure exactly on this, but I assume they're referring to Instant Blocking/Just Defend. Whenever you see them guard and flash white, they've blocked just as the attack is about to hit them. It results in not only less blockstun, but also you don't slide as far away, allowing you to punish your opponent easier. In addition, any hit in Guilty Gear can usually result in a lot of damage, so you have to block so you don't die in 3 seconds. Someone who's played Marvel 3 could probably answer this better. The burst gauge slowly fills on its own, and fills faster the less health you have. In addition, every time you're hit you gain back a bit of the burst gauge. Read here for more specfics: http://www.dustloop.com/wiki/index.php?title=Defense_%28GGAC%29#Bursts If the guard bar's over 50%, it will slowly drain to be 50%. If it's under 50%, it will reset to 50% as soon as you tech or land on the ground and become uncomboable. You're right about Roman Cancels; 3 buttons after a move's hit/been blocked to spend 50% tension to cancel the attack instantly. FRCs or Force/False Roman Cancels cost 25% meter, are accompanied with a blue flash instead of a red one, and can only be performed on certain moves during certain frames. Whether or not the move has hit is irrelevant, just as long as it's during the frame period! If you go into training mode and turn on "Show Inputs", the input bar will flash blue the instant you can perform an FRC. Those are the two main cancels use in competitive GG, but AC+ added two more types with Survival mode, Chaos RC, which lets you cancel one special attack into any other special attack instantly for 25% meter, similar to KoF13's Drive Cancels really, and Yellow RC, which I believe is just a normal RC but only costs 25% meter. Neither of these are usable in normal play though, so don't worry about them.

shit.

Ah yes, nothing like his 6P anti air beating out my 2D sweep. >:T

Don't you have a paper to work on? EDIT: Haha fuck you Lumin I win!

I'd be better with saturday!

Nah, it's fine. It wasn't tagged under the Guilty Gear articles for some reason, but it should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out at least.

1) Slayer gets amazingly good damage. No one in GG is really "broken" though, everyone's pretty good in their own way. But yeah, Slayer can do 90% damage combos with enough meter. 2) Hitting with Johnny's coins level up his Mist Finer special attack. You can see it right above his tension gauge when you hit with one. They're also very good in pressure. Hitting with his Force Break followup also levels up his Mist Finer. Level 3 is the max, so don't bother trying to go past that. 3) H and HS are the same, yes. Both stand for "Heavy Slash" or "Hard Slash". Pressing 4 or 1 and pressing S+H will make you perform a "slashback", a risky but highly rewarding defensive option.

I'LL PICK PEOPLE UP FOR CASUALS

Foooound it http://www.dustloop.com/forums/content.php?301-Guilty-Gear-AC-Basic-Mechanics-Video

Don't worry, I'll find him. Then I'm gonna kill him.

I was gonna reply saying we've already had an article on this video...but we don't apparently. WTF.

You were thinking you wanna bang (anime) chicks?

Got my flight booked, going to be landing at hopefully 11:30 on Saturday. Chances are I won't get to the venue itself until around 1, and my hotel's about a 20 minute drive away, oh well.

I'm heading out to Final Round, gonna train under st1ckbug. Get dat super sayain power level. And hey, Sonic Generations is fun '^'

You got a death wish, punk?

I want Robo-Ky to have an actual theme song Actually, new/redone songs for everyone at Guilty Gear 2 quality would be pretty boss.

Actually Toasty, his competition is in Ohio. Arguably more depressing, I know.

Play as *insert guilty gear character you're interested in here* :3

LAST MINUTE REGISTRATION GO~ Got registered online. Not gonna be there Friday so I was kinda cutting it close...

Gonna head on up to MoMo2's tomorrow, since apparently that's where C-bus people meet up?

Why would you want to get rid of the best part of the game?

DOOOOOOOOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO

All DLC is now unlocked in the gallery, play versus, abyss, or score attack mode I believe to earn Platinum Dollars and you can buy all the voice sets and character colors.
