Okay you asked for it: Edit: SolRocks...you're double posting, FYI.

Do I have to explain why Justice isn't evil???? Do I really?

If you want to know...Dizzy was "angry" at Sol for killing "Mother Justice", that's why she did what she did...not because she was "evil". I swear you people think up one conclusion up after another without any closely-read supportive evidence.

I don't mind the usual fangasms now and again, but character bashing is pushing it.

I assure you. My information is as accurate as I can translate it, and I usually use a dictionary for reference for the fuzzy parts (usually Slayer's high-fallutin' solliloquys). If you wish to test my translation ability, play GG2 Overture's English Dub in sound test (i.e. Ky and Sol, since they share most of their old script) and compare it to some of my Quote Project text file. I may be wrong in a few things but most of it is accurate, and those I have been wrong in the past with, I'm always looking for corrections for. As for things like the books and drama CDs...I'm not alone in gathering the information, a lot of what I've obtained comes from the likes of Theria, Rallamajoop, Suzaku, and even Raging Tofu. These guys are awesome and you should RESPECT them. (+R) "Marude...kami-waza da naa..."

Heh for a while all my urls were youtube.uk for some reason... ;P

Okay so, right now I'm having issues with a few combos that lead into either Grand Vapor Thrust or just Vapor Thrust. The main issue being that the ground combo ends up being too long and the "gravity" makes the second hit of VT wiff or "Cut Away" wiff altogether and the opponent techs out. What are the factors that determine how much "gravity/character weight" you have at the end of a combo? It varys from character to character obviously, but sometimes I'm not sure how to adjust it and they either drop or tech out.

HERE COMES A NEW DAREDEVIL! Shantotto from FFXI! I guess she's one of the more popular Tarutaru black mages with a mischievous "Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!" Reminds me of Karin a bit. Oh yeah, and for folks who want hi rez pics, this guy's been keeping track of em: http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd352/Hitman22332233/

Can someone please list off a bunch of those GG2 combo video links, Zazz did a while ago but I can't find em.

Might as well make one for the future because it'll only make things more convoluted if you leave it in this thread.

Play more videogames.

No one reads my posts in earnest. They only read what they want to hear.

S-ko, Zappa, and Faust Don't use Drugs in College! Magic Chords and Backyard Code And that is all! I may refer back to this post later, but for now this should cover most of the thread.

5 "Elements" but, 12 "Chords" or "Levels" of Magic Code complexity. Also keep in mind that music and math are synonymous with the code. So basically there are 60 different magic combinations/enchantments or variation thereof based on that calculation. But Sol mentioned himself that many of the chords he found fell 'outside that realm'. In otherwords there is even more besides allowed and forbidden magic, which all originates from the Backyard. Also the whole "Master Ghost represents Master who summons Servants to capture more Ghosts" is called the "Soul Sinker System". Originally Sol and Sin weren't able to perform that kind of magic, but with Izuna's help. Izuna "rewrote Sol's code" a bit and gave him a revamp of his abilities you could say. Only a Backyard "Resident" can do that.

It sucks that every special move in this game costs Tension though...and you always gotta sit by a Ghost to recharge.

Actually that's "Four!" it's a joke about people hitting golfballs off the course and into windshields and other stuff. Also, in case anyone wants them, I finished the quotes a while ago, check GG.ru for details.

Someone needs to make a "WE DO NOT KNOW" emoticon for me. Or at least something like a SUPER SHRUG. :O

If I had the game, I'd write up some serious combo listings for everyone. When I played it, I tried to learn how to use Ky's Holy Brand Move (the sidestep lightning launcher), but that's hard to control.

That would explain Chipp. HOLY ZEN!!

Or perhaps if there's anything there at all...May can be perverted sometimes. :P

Tooting my own horn here, but it's fanart of Gear Sol doing what Sol does best: http://fc39.deviantart.com/fs39/f/2008/319/f/b/VORUKANIKKU_VAIPAA_by_darkside_ky.jpg

I'm not quite done with the 3rd part of Night of Knives, but I'll finish it soon. As for everything else, me and Raging Tofu have something big planned that will compile this information soon, so please be patient. Zappa's backstory isn't really much, considering he started out in GGXX. If you've been following him that far, you pretty much get the jist of it. There are a few things worth noting. He's an Austrailian College Student, he keeps a love diary of sorts where he tries to recall all his experiences with the fairer gender ala "Golden Boy". There is speculation that his "jewelry" has something to do with the bad spiritual mojo he's possessed by, but that's unfounded and unconfirmed. At one point Ky accuses him of taking drugs among other things. Not much else to say beyond that except this guy is a walking disaster waiting to happen.

The original idea came from Amano's Dissidia Villain poster, actually, I just expounded on it. In Kabbalism, the idea behind the "Tree of God" is that each Sephira or Circle is an aspect of Human development towards the perfection of "Being like God". Inversely, the further away from a godly state the more corrupt. Really, the tree itself has two opposing sides to it that reflect on a positive and negative human aspect or concept. For example: Terra's sphere represents "Wisdom" or the aquisition of what you know, which somewhat reflects how she is an Esper in part yet knows about the human world to an extent. On the flipside, Kefka's sphere represents "Confusion" which gains great knowledge but cannot process it. In this way, Kefka gained godly powers but could only bring about chaos with them. Here's the List of Opposing Forces: --Unity/Duality = Otherwise known as Order/Chaos, the final state of creation or destruction. (FF1) --Revelation/Hidden = How mankind can recieve information, he will either show it to others or tell a lie and hide it. (FF9) --Wisdom/Confusion = The use of knowledge or abuse of it. (FF6) --Justice/Tyranny = How power itself can be used/abused in service of others. (FF2) --Bountiful/Devour = When people are given gifts, they can either share them with others and nurture the gifts, or they can consume and destroy them entirely. (FF3) --Happiness/Sorrow = When fortune or misfortune are granted to people, how they express themselves and how they carry themselves towards the end result. (FF4) --Praises/Punishment = The means through which someone can carry out actions and decisions or even express words through positive or negative reinforcement. (FF8) --Love/Hatred = The essence of how people deal with others like themselves or their own existence. (FF5) --Purification/Corruption = The absolvement or indictment of a person's actions or past, that is to say, to forgive or condemn a person. (FF7) --Voice/Whisper = The courage to speak for ones own self and identity, or the cowardice and shame that comes with hiding guilt or lying or being secretive. (FF10) If I need to explain specifically how these character's relate to these aspects, you need to play more FF games then, or at least look up their background info here: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Wiki

Thought I'd remind people that the game comes out December 18th (which coincidentally is the day the original Final Fantasy was released in Japan in 1987). "Final" Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpiLWp2TFvs Also, latest Jump scan: http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa201/_kuraudo_/Dissidia%20Final%20Fantasy/scan_12_11.jpg

I hate to say it Ashercroix but those scans get shrunk whenever you upload them to photobucket, you'd be better off just using Sendspace or Rapidshare.
