Was she intentionally made by someone (like the Bureau) or was she just some fluke of an existence that just happened to pop into being? I only mention the Bureau because her methods of brainwashing everyone reminded me of such a thing was mentioned as being a favorite tactic of Robo-Ky "I_FIND_ASSIMILATION . . . MUCH_MORE_EFFECTIVE_THAN_SIMPLE_ERADICATION."

Like how Dr. Baldhead isn't explicitly stated to be Faust, yet its pretty obvious? Well it seems that Valentine was disrupting That Man's plans by going after The Cube, so I'd guess he didn't make her. Designed? Like Some other person or organization that is working against the intentions of That Man produced Valentine as a copy of Aria? Certainly making copies of people isn't unheard of in Guilty Gear . . .

Does that make Valentine a reincarnation of Justice, or something else? The way it sounds to me is that Valentine was some kind of condensed form of Justice who lost her memory after her death by Sol and currently she'll just keep reforming in the Backyard unless she's sealed away or killed in a more permanent manner. Though it is nice to hear that Valentine looks exactly Aria/Justice (it explains the red hair)

http://gg2nd.jp/special/dl.html here's a nice new trailer from arc systems that shows Raven, That Man & Gear Sol pretty clearly y'know, for you fan art folks out there

i atleast want the artbook to get a clear look at That Man finally also that Valentine proves nothing. not enough people got the game to make porn about it.

Mission #18 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEmV4_bUCKc In the Backyard, Valentine goes all "SHAAAAAA!" Meanwhile, Izuna, Sin & Dr. P distract her while Sol makes a run for the Cube. Mission #19 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xuSRe1xSjU The Final Boss. The other guys escape the closing gateway out of the dimension leaving Sol alone to deal with the obviously enraged Valentine. Epic Music Ensues. Mission #20 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8x9RXGhTfw The End. Sol has a chat with That Man before being returned to the normal world. Some other chatting happens between Ky and Dr. P and everyone else. Then That Man & Raven discuss things in their usual mysterious manner and it all ends with To be continued . . .

Mission #14 (intro to using Izuna) Sol & Izuna find Valentine but she puts up some barriers that they must break through to get to Sin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj9f13IOnh8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEIP-h8MC9Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQVzkETb1Yw Mission #15 Sin gets brainwashed by Valentine, so Sol must set him straight the only way he knows how . . . with VIOLENCE. And lots of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_tY68zB6c8 Mission #16 Sol, Izuna & Sin happen upon a whole mob of Valentine's servants. But then Ky and Dr. Paradigm arrive to help out. Also Ky's Army shows up too. Then Ky & Sin have a talk . . . and Sin says something about his mom . . . I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk5zqRtSdy0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgWjahmEtSc Then the mystery portal opens up and Ky & Sin have another moment with sad piano music. :8/: Mission #17 Sol, Izuna & Dr. P are confronted by That Man and Sol obviously gets super pissed and goes full Gear mode (it ain't pretty) and beats him up a bit. But That Man leaves while keeping open a door to what I assume to be The Backyard. Our heroes run in . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsxA6u0YIL0

Mission #12 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD4Tc5FqENE The now famous "Ky used his Vapor Thrust on a pretty Gear lady and Sin was the result" scene. Mission #13 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUvTRxxrMks (Intro) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETftMVjcQ_o (Mission) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TfwkKlc3zs (Ending) Ky & Dr. P defend the gate to protect his Ice Cube Wife.

how to fix the mess caused by Guilty Gear 2

Epic and Awesome. Thanks for doing that.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1838305 does anyone have any sound ripping skills to grab the theme of That Man off this video? I seems someone was playing the game without sound effects or voices just to listen to the (totally awesome) music. here's some more of the awesome rock tracks i posted early if you missed them http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1697019

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp9wDQpgYcY New full video of the cutscenes involving Raven "GEAR MAKER"?!

who here likes doll joints? its robo-ky for the Midnight Bliss thread at SRK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Fd1GPDWPE Brand New Dizzy vs. Eddie

by poor performance, i mean its sales in japan are terrible

the return of justice, kliff, & story mode? oh who am i kidding . . . i'd buy it even if it were just AC + All that other stuff. you'd think there'd be an arcade release . . . but i wouldn't be surprised if this was Arc's "we're really sorry about all the bugs in the original console version of AC" combined with overture's overall very poor performance led to this

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1697019 i wonder if anyone could rip the Overture songs from this vid into mp3s or something as i got no idea how to get them off there. Or has that been done already?

you know how when you win a match with robo-ky right when he overheats and he turns solid white . . . ?

well there is that art of That Man and his 3 Friends: I-no, Raven, and third unknown one with the tall featureless mask

Its opening week of sales was a grand total of: 4,978 its second week is: 1,329 Lost Odyssey is doing better with a total of 57,920. Hell even the 360 ver. of Virtua Fighter 5 netted 12,529 this week. Overture just did awful in Japan. http://vgchartz.com/japweekly.php?date=39425&console=X360&maker=&disp=Japanese+Name&boxartz=3

i know i heard someone mention before the release that daisuke was open to the idea of downloadable characters down the line but with its abysmal sales (lol 360), i don't think Arc Sys would want to sink more effort & money into this game and would just want to jump right back into profitable 2D fighters or just they could send it over to Aksys ( plz ) and have them localize it here and pretty much guaranteed to get atleast triple its japanese sales

i always did it as: [] + +

just what is her backstory anyway? and why does Sol get headaches around her?
