Blade

I do believe anyone who treats fighting games like a keg and bong party with side-betting is wildly inaccurate.

This is for the Toki fans, enjoy: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/shirogane_no_seija_hokuto_no_ken_toki_gaiden/

I wish my doodles were as action-y as yours. And I really want to color that. *w* Also I seriously nominate you as one of the featured artists in the next GG, your stuff needs to be unlockable.

Stop saying it's over. Don't you know what the word 'Overture' means?

In other news, we may see a GG2X (not a typo) or GG3 for PS3/360. I do hope its a fighter, I have zero rts skill.

I think its been said before but Aksys can't do much on their end. For those who type Japanese and wish to further this cause, try sending a petition here: http://www.arcsystemworks.jp/

Posting this here since I don't think there's any other place for it: DMG: 7521 Although this is a Throw combo, keep in mind the method used to do it, its useful for tacking on damage to hard to hit opponents like Tao or maybe Jin, won't work on everyone. Requires 50%-100% Heat, Towards Corner, but not too close. Neutral Throw (or 6C), quick 214B, delay 214D, late 5B, 6A -hjc. jC,jD, JC Airthrow (very late 623D just as they fall below you), 236C, Rapid Cancel, Airthrow, late 623D, 236C, Rapid, Airthrow, late 623D, 236C, 214C. The Inferno Divider, Upper, Rapid, Airthrow can be used midscreen in some situations, and you can airdash after for more options such as another Airthrow. Its risky, but it can work.

Why ARCSys refuses to do GGvsBB I'll never know, its trancendant beauty is what it is.

I don't know if this is related, but I recently encountered a "Guard Break Cancel". It was bizarre. I was playing Ragna versus an aggressive Rachel who used Pumpkin, but as they fired pumpkin just as/before I was landing from a jump and as I blocked it, my Guard Broke. But for some reason I wasn't stuck in any Guard Break frames, and was still in control. I'm not sure but I think there's something to do with stuff happening close to the ground that affects recovery times.

What's the trick to safely buffering 720 on wakeup without getting poked or "teching" by accident.

Edit: I had to re-watch all the cutscenes in Overture from start to finish, but it was worth it, and I think anyone will appreciate the music more if they put the music in this order: Raise the Curtain Option You Only Have to Decide It Day The Fate Broke Down Quest Success Sign =First Sublimation= Castle Title Call Prologue First Impact Trouble Bravery =Sol is introduced to Soul Sinker System= Keep Yourself Alive (IV) Chase Assault =Attacked by Brainwashed Allies= Fear The Mask Does Not Laugh Guess Worthless As the Sun Above Clouds March Visitor =Illuriya is under Attack= Conscious =Discovery of Thinking Gears= Intellect, Reason, and the Wild Anxiety =The Truth behind the Discovery of Magic= Yomotsuhirasaka =Underwood Hill= Mystery =The Hidden Magic harvested from the Cube= Frailty =Sin's Anger= Ride on Time Freezing Time =The Sublimation of the Maiden of the Grove= Witch =The Inheritance of Justice= Confession =NANIII!?!?= Attack Right Mind =Ky's Decision= Holy Orders (Be Just or Be Dead) (IV) Sacrifice Vanity =Don't be a Chicken Breast!= Emancipation Hiruandan "An Inconspicuous Lamp at High Noon" Brainwashing Warts and All =Battle with Darkside-Sin!= Shock Report =Harvested DNA Key= Crowds of Enemy =The Visuel= Crowds of Ally =Ky's Army= Bonds and Resolution =Sin's Feelings= Joint Struggle =Back-to-back Battle= Communication Gate Sorcery =Impossible!

Hope you guys like the list, I painstakingly looked it over. [/End off-topic blurb]

Hey you GG2O experts I have a request. Can you help me organize GG2s tracklisting (vol 1) according to how when each theme plays in the story? It won't be perfect but I like continuity to my tracklisting when I sort them, and feel free to tell me where character songs play in volume 2. Thanks!!!

I'm using it, but it just seems too slow and risky sometimes. What are some good setups and followups for it, besides 5D?

*Noob warning* Can someone tell me what 5C is for, if anything?

According to TVTropes.org this is called a Narm.

More like, someone's drunk. Again. :8/:

Who said you have to learn everything right away for Guilty Gear or any other fighters for that matter? Every game has learning curves, some may be steep, but never impossible. I'd say learning to beat a shmup like Ikaruga without dying is harder than learning the basics and standards of ANY fighting game, bar-none. Don't single out GG for that. Everything takes time, it all boils down to invested interest to learn.

Screw you guys, I prefer wierd shit fighters like Darkstalkers, Warzard, and Waku-Waku 7, Cyberbots and Gundam Battle Assault. And fighters with swords like Last Blade and Samurai spirits.

I'm learning to jump cancel after a successfully blocked 6D (despite it being unsafe, I've landed these, so I'm not complaining), though I'm not quite sure how safe jump cancelling into air normals is on block. The hardest part is dealing with the huge pushback from barrier and knowing when it's unsafe to do anything afterwards. If there was a way to program a character to block so many strings and try to throw out an attack, I'd know for sure, but, it seems like I need friends to help me learn this stuff.

I think I saw the kaqn VS Zakiyama one on Youtube the other day.

4r5 is broken. Instant tournament ban.

From what I'm reading, you guys are either not getting any sort of wakeup animation at all and go from ground state to standing without animation, or you buffered an input. Holding down an attack button is the same as 5 instances of having pressed the button from what I recall being said, it'd be the same method you'd use for wakeup-reversal inputs between the time you pushed the button and held it and the time you got up with enough neutral frames to attack. That's what it sounds like to me. Of course if you really aren't getting any wakeup animation, then it is a glitch, otherwise normally you'd use A or B for a quick recovery input normally.

IMO Street Fighter gamers will never understand Guilty Gear or BlazBlue...that's just how it's always been. I came out of Samurai Showdown 3, so understanding it wasn't that big of a jump.
