:D!!! D:!!!!

Long as I have the most touching XX route, I'll always believe ; -; Dizzy on a Necro rampage, Sol steps in to stop her, wakes up saying she had a dream about her father, Sol walks off unseen and without a word but a smirk plastered on his face. ( ; w; )7 But yeah there have just been WAY too many allusions to the possibility for it to be BS, just like Baldhead and Faust. At this point if you didn't know baldhead was/is faust, you're stupid (no offense). But wow that's an interesting ending been thinking of buying reloaded on xbl simply for the storymode lately, Ky's ending with Sol is still one of the best Story endings so far. Sol keeps his feelings/emotions very suppressed unless he sees That Man, or those who follow him. Then he proceeds to lose his shit, I'll never forget his storymode fight intro with I-no after they talked some heavy shit; http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GmpvSbFtJfA#t=177s

Wow, good to see people know about that Isuka music, I've only realized how dope the music was from that game last month lol. But what you're referring to in KOF, is that in-game 2 versions of songs, or the cd's that came with the game?

^Blueballs much? But anyways, should Daisuke remix the songs (again), because he's fucking good at that. Or should he just come out with new songs like Heavy Day, this primarily applies to vs themes. I'm personally too heavily invested in Holy Orders, for Ky to get a completely new theme in Xrd. For me personally I'd love to get a remix to Still in the Dark, Existence, and No Mercy. But Heavy Day is an AWESOME theme.

Does Dizzy know Sol is her father?

WOW. Subarashii...

^This I've never been through a thread and felt so insulted and praised at the same time. I also have a translation of Lightning the Argent as well as Butterfly and its Gale (Chipp's side story). I don't remember where I got the translations though, it's been so many years ago. I'll respond to posts directed to me tomorrow, amazing how this has turned into a Ky/storymode thread.

^I voted.

Why what other openings for BB did she do?

I have a better understanding of what you're saying now.

What you're saying doesn't make any sense to me at all. Nevertheless, with regards to xbox sales in N.A/Europe is still substantial enough to release it on both systems. But we don't know if Microsoft/Sony has anything to do with it. Nevertheless, I'm curious to see if they'll release a patch update for the game. And a good one that'll allow my main to be good without relying on OD for wins.

Oh, you gaiz.

wat? This is true, I'm an example of that.

Good shit, thanks for all your work Gilbert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Wi-XywedGyM#t=1458s = lol I almost never watch these. Yes, Bonne Happy fete JP. May you continue to dp on wakeup for many more years.

According to these charts yes, and the disparity in sales between the two systems increases with each iteration of BB. I went to vg chartz, and when i went to look at the 360 CSEX sales I couldn't find anything, but I was able to find them for both the ps3 and even the vita. Which indicates to me that CSEX didn't sell very well with the 360. So I could see why ArcSys would opt not to release the game on the 360. Personally the extremely low sales on the xbox I feel are attributed to 2 main factors; the xbox remote, and the increasing affordability of the ps3 as years have been going by. By these sales one would expect the CP sales to be abysmal, simply because of these 2 factors. Though that's just my personal opinion.

The left for each one is how much it sold in it's first week, the one on the right for each is how much they sold overall.

To help with the debate, I found this. Though I was unable to find the sale figured for CSEX on the 360.

This is exactly what Ky is fighting for, to change that notion and to create a cohesive existence between the two species, whether he'll get that accomplished is another issue. Dr.P is alsot eh LEADER of a civilization of Gears who live off the international grid in their own Utopia, so there are quite a few Gears that are still sentience and do not want violence. If these experiences were enough to change Ky, then whose to say more people can't? Though, yes it would take quite a bit of convincing to do so. But remember what Ky constantly says to Crow during AC Story mode; "don't underestimate people!" Which is actually the correct GG story line, where Ky dies (as he's supposed to during the Crusades), as such Dizzy ends up taking over command over the Gears and continues the Holy Wars after Justice dies. So yes, what you say is entirely plausible. However, thanks to Ky and the Jellyfish Pirates, Dizzy is a peaceful girl who has full control over her powers and won't go berserk since she has many humans she cares about. While yes this does put him in a dilemma since he is a shining example of what humanity is capable of. He's the most powerful 100% human in the series, which even Sol comments on it as it doesn't make any sense. But also this also gives him the opportunity to change the minds of the masses since he's such a shining example. During the Decolonization of Africa, a lot of Pan-Africans both within and outside of South Africa were telling Mandela that he was a traitor to their cause since he was willing to cooperate with the whites during their war against Apartheid and post-Apartheid regime. However he explained that they were as much citizens of South Africa now, as much as the blacks were and cooperation was necessary in order to bring about progress in South Africa. Which many later on agreed with him. Contrarily if Mandela had been Euro-centric prior to such statements, he would have been outcast by his fellow Pan-Africans. So Ky can achieve his goals, but he has to be careful of his public image. Wait what? As Sin put it, "you're always about the people and will continue to fight for them". Ky's beliefs will never change so long as he has "HOPE" inscribed on him, he wants to guarantee the hope of all living species of a better tomorrow, his experiences during the Crusades really shaped him as a character. These experiences are things Sin personally never went through, but maybe he can alter them since he has seen first hand that things are not as easy as you thought they would be when you were younger. But now Sin has a better understanding of Ky's justice however, Sin will continue to follow his. In a sense I guess Daisuke is just showing how "justice" can harm those we never intentionally aimed to harm and how we all have different notions of justice, and regardless of which ever one we believe in, we will hurt good natured people no matter what. P.S Do you guys know about the experiecnes that caused Ky to inscribe "HOPE" onto his attire?

Does anyone see scumbag Hakumen tools and think of mAc? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=H4ncuTGV8cs#t=116s

I rarely give big write ups of personal interpretations over the internet but I'll do it just this once, and hopefully people understand what I'm trying to say. First off, if we look as the creator of GG, Daisuke Ishiwatari, he was born in South Africa probably during the apartheid regime. I'm not gonna go into racial issues here and I'm sure most dustloop members are fairly educated so I don't need to explain the racial issues that took place in South Africa for the majority of the 20th century, if you don't then do some googling. Nevertheless, I feel that Daisuke's time there has influences in the (somewhat convulted) plot of Guilty Gear. For instance the separation of Gears from humanity and their stigmatization as good for nothing creatures only capable of doing harm to society, and the 100 year long war. This war created a stigmatization of Gears of otherwise good natured people like Ky Kiske, whom simply thought all Gears are inherently evil in nature, as one would expect to believe since they tried to wipe out humanity. As such, being a Gear in the post-Crusade war is a major problem since human beings will persecute you and aim to kill you, simply because you're a sentient Gear. However as the plot of this game has evolved, we can see that not all Gears are evil, as it was hinted in Ky's GG1 ending. We've witnessed Dizzy, the first half-Gear whom hates violence and conflict and does her best to prevent while holding unimaginable power within her. There are other non-violent Gears who have appeared like Dr. Paradigm and to some level Testament. As such Ky's beliefs and "justice" have been affected by these experiences, while at first he wanted to achieve what was best for the prosperity for humanity, his beliefs have expanded to include Gears as well. This is especially due to Dizzy, whom he has to keep a watchful eye over simply because she is a Gear, and to worsen the situation she is his wife. Now he seeks to bring about cohesion between gears and humanity around the world for the greater good between the two conflicting species. I refer to his new post-AC beliefs as a "macro-justice", since he wants to help as many as possible even if he doesn't know these people on a personal level, which I'll refer back to later on. These beliefs he fights for are not that different from nelson Mandela, the most well known freedom fighter during the Apartheid regime in South Africa where Daisuke grew up. Who sought to bring about cohesion between the different "racial groups" that reside in South Africa, namely blacks and whites. While his pursuits were largely successful in making that a reality by bringing an end to the regime and encouraging whites to remain in the country, much to the resentment of other freedom fighters, his personal issues did not end. I read his self-written autobiography and while, we would all consider his life successful and to be seen as a shining example of what a person or group of people can do to change the world, he saw himself as a failure. This is because while he fought for his "macro-justice", which was for the people of South Africa, he was unable to be a family man/father/husband throughout his ordeals. Since he was occupied with bringing about the end of a racial regime and creating a cohesion between warring racial groups, he was unable to attend to his family. He missed out on his kids' birthdays, their first days at school, the first time they ever walked, or even when they got married. Since he was either on the run from the police living a life underground to keep his family safe, or in jail serving time for fighting what he believed was right. As such when he looked back on his life he became the father of a reborn South Africa, as he was elected president when he got out of jail, but was unable to be a father to his real family because of what he fought for. Sin's belief in justice is a product of Ky's decisions as a father/husband/king. Because he was busy fighting for what was right and the safety of those he barely even knew, he was unable to be a father and a husband. To Sin, this was painful to experience since he was neglected by his father over those they barely even knew simply because Ky was trying to do what was right. To Sin, it doesn't make any sense why you would risk your life to protect someone you barely know over those who personally mean a greater deal more to you. In a sense Sin does believe in justice, but an altered one from Ky, I would call it "micro-justice". He is concerned with the safety of those he personally considers close to him rather than outsiders he knows nothing about. This is because he has felt the brunt of Ky's "macro-justice" of trying to change the world, it prevents you from attending to those closest to you, which can create resentment like the case with Sin. While Ky is regarded a a great leader to the people of Illyria, he personally sees himself as a failure at being a father and husband since he was unable to attend to his family because he was occupied with his "macro-justice" concerning those who fall under his protection, even if he barely knew them at all. Very similar to Nelson Mandela's life throughout his exploits in bringing down the Apartheid regime in South Africa. Though Ky has evolved considerably as a character, since he fights for all living species and not just for humanity anymore. However, he still a very much conflicted character, whose actions have had negative impacts on Sin's personality and beliefs. To further illustrate what I'm saying about "macro-justice" and "micro-justice", mission 16 from GG2 really helps. Specifically Sin and Ky's convo before the battle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=dZyxCaBBXE8#t=89s I can't believe I wrote all of this -__- Anyways I hope it actually makes sense and isn't just ridiculed. Sorry for the typos, if any.

It's 100% Dizzy, but sega owned her intellectual rights during this time. And wow thanks for the awesome translation, I feel really sorry him :/ I wonder how the U.N found out though.

I knew someone was going to say that lol...

Noted.

I'll pat next time I come. GGs everyone, lots of fun, especially to DERQ, that Venom/Ky set. I need to play lose to Brice more in GG, I need to learn this salty matchup. Also kirbster, them fries had a bit too much seasoning, it's been giving me indigestion. :/ Just wanted to get that out there.
