Blade

Like I said a while ago that OutRage Guide is outdated (and I even put a warning there). And I made those guides long before VastEdge came out and started running my blog (Kitsoru, really, stop nitpicking everything). We don't know which one Slayer has. I never said it was Senga, I said I wondered IF it was Senga. Now we know it's not (since Flashing Tooth / Fang can mean ANYTHING... I did NOT expect it to be a Lightbulb!) And as I said before, the word OutRage has appeared on Gear Tanks in the GG Bible and on Dizzy's "Gear Glyph" ring that appears around her feet when she's on the ground in battle stance.

Still gonna try and get this info sorted out if anyone can check the Globe on Character select: [sol] Neo New York (New York, USA) [Ky] Royal Court (Italy / Albania / Illyria) [May] May Ship II (???) [Chipp] Colony (Japan?) [Millia] Draconian Falls (Russia?) [Venom] Opera House (England?) [Axl] Edinburgh Magical Polis (Scotland) [slayer] Vampire Villa (Transylvania, Romania?) [bedman] Nightmare Theater (???) [i-No] Babylon 5 Years in the Future (Mesopotamia / Iraq?) [Potemkin] ???? [Faust] ???? [Zato=ONE] ???? [Ramlethal Valentine] ???? (I think it's the Backyard) If anyone has the names AND globe map locations of each stage, that'd help. Also looking for those "date and time stamps" of each Story mode event (like what day each story takes place and the time). Aw heck, SONG TITLES (themes) while I'm at it.

It's amazing what you find on Google: http://v025o.popscreen.com/eGx1cTl1MTI%3D_o_saturday-night-live-nerf-crotch-bat.jpg

It's my experience that ARC handles things in this way: Phase One: Character is Broken Phase Two: Character is beaten with Nerf Stick Phase Three: Character is Weak as all hell. Phase Four: Character gets reasonable buffs but nothing too substantial...balance complete! It takes a while to get to Phase Four, in fact you'd be lucky to make it that far. Justice and Kliff haven't.

Nobody answered my question, earlier... What all do we know about Blitzshield? What does it do on IAD or Jump attacks. Does the opponent bounce off and go flying backwards ala Soul Calibur V's repel deflecting mechanic? Is the window more or less generous than Slashback was? What happens when someone manages to Okizeme Blitzshield Sol's Volcanic Viper on Reversal?

The NP Gauge "reducing itself gradually" almost reminds me of Danger State in BlazBlue (when you use up all your Barrier and it reverts to 50%), not sure if it's the same but it sounds similar. What is the likelihood of them still using these mechanics in this way in GGXrd do you think?

If people "need more presenter and less slide" they can watch match videos and combo demonstrations of players who know what they are doing. That's my two cents. Slowing down and analyzing that and knowing what characters can do and breaking it down in to basics of what is useful and explaining stuff neatly is essentially what the videos have done as far as I'm aware. The main objective of these videos is to showcase a character and let the player decide if that character is right for them or not. And if people have additional questions the video even requests they comment.

I agree...WHAT?

I'm wondering exactly how this will all apply to things like Frame Lag online... I know this is precisely why they altered the RC System too.

I'm aware of that... I'm just saying, regardless of who released what...it's Guilty Gear, so why play referee about it? GGXrd is coming GET HYPE, is all I'm saying.

You're not the only one. Though I get a gut feeling we'll have some kind of recap story in GGXrd.

About all I can think of is links to listings of Bread'n'Butter combo offerings for newbies.

I'm just going to assume this is timed with the thought that GGXrd is coming and just run with it. My PC sucks, so Steam is out of the question at the moment. (But I still have my PS2 version so oh well).

Regardless of Ky's status as a Zoner, I am going to miss his Mid-air CSE Stun Edge Charge Attack (j.236D) that he got from Slash and Accent Core. Now he has to make more of an effort to stay in the air after a Jump D.

^Um....not entirely true. Testament wasn't part of the order, he just knew Kliff was. The Post-War Administration Bureau turned him in to a Gear. It wasn't his choice.

Look at the GGX and XX Arcade Endings and you'll see some nice alts.

lol why not? To be honest, I think any "previous official art" of GG characters is fair game for an alternate outfit (which is quite a lot). And yeah, honestly, I'm not surprised ARC sticks with Arcade cash flow, but a lot of people are worried they're abandoning Microsoft. Knowing ARC they might do something yet for X-Box One, but they just haven't told Sony that yet. Not that I have plans to get an XBox or anything.

Alternate costume ideas, heh. That jacket isn't even the first thing that comes to mind for me.

That's all people need to know. That's all you need to do. No complaints, no contests, no spending extra cash on a yen card. FREE AND SIMPLE.

Well Tuesday Update isn't here quite yet. So maybe we'll get a Christmas Miracle?

If you know how Parallax Scrolling works, then be my guest in trying to make it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax_scrolling

If you find Guilty Gear's story of any interest (since it is complicated), feel free to hit me up on my blog and ask questions.

Is Negative Penalty still an issue with Sol's Dragon Install? Ugh. Also wondering if you can Blitzshield Bedman's air attacks and what happens.

@Layer: Talk about winning in your SLEEP! lol @ycw: This goes back to the very reason Instant Kill Attacks exist. High risk, high reward. Some characters have crazy fast IK startup, others take forever (like Potemkin) but at the same time he's a huge friggan IK hitbox once he's set up for it (I've seen plenty of people fall for his IK, you have no idea lol). Heck, I've seen A.B.A. players take advantage of 6H counterhit dizzies in to IK plenty of times despite A.B.A. being the "Free IK girl" of the roster. It all depends on how you use the character you use, and everybody's style is different. There is no "absolutely wrong" way to play a character if you're at least winning some of your fights. Even then, even if you're losing, maybe you just need to change things up and things will improve. Sometimes it's about luck (like with Faust and Zappa). In general you just do your best no matter the situation and adapt to that situation.
