Track 1-4: "Dancing Angel of Death" *The scene is a dance party in Calroni, honoring King Salteria Calroni the 1st.* Millia 「Such a pretty dress...a little hard to move in, but not bad at all.」 Zato 「Do you like it?」 Millia 「It'll get soaked in blood eventually...」 Zato 「What's that mean? It's so you'd fit in with everyone.」 Millia 「Who's 'everyone'?」 Zato 「These are nobles. This royal palace ball is a fish tank of sharks, thirsty for blood.」 Millia 「Aristocrats aren't all bad you know, isn't that a bit harsh?」 Zato 「Yes, even now, there's a conflict between factions within the royal court.」 Millia 「Because of the weak King, the politics became chaotic, right?」 Zato 「Well, what you've said is true enough.」 Millia 「So where is our King?」 Zato 「Wouldn't it be his bed-time?」 Millia 「What's that mean?」 Zato 「The current ruling King of Calroni Kingdom, Salteria Calroni I is only two years old.」 Millia 「The royal family ends with him, and so everyone's seeking favors?」 Zato 「It'll be tough work.」 Millia 「If it's so difficult, I'll just finish it quickly.」 Zato 「Your target is...over there. Duke Scaburi.」 Millia 「Ah, such a charming old man.」 Zato 「He may be charming but a shark's still a shark. He's the head behind the dissenting faction, the most charismatic noble within the King's Court.」 Millia 「Understood. Once it's evening, I'll put him to sleep for good, that okay with you?」 Zato 「Yes. I'm counting on you.」 *A female aristocrat walks up to them.* Female Aristocrat 「Excuse me, gentleman over there, would you care to request a song for a dance?」 Millia 「Eh!? Ah, sorry, I appreciate it but...」 Zato 「Ah...that is, I'm blind, you see.」 Female Aristocrat 「Hunh...that must be a troubling impairment...maybe perhaps you would allow me to lead?」 Millia 「I'm his escort--!」 Zato 「Hanging out with me might be a little boring, why don't you go on ahead?」 Female Aristocrat 「Is that so? If it's fine with you. If it's not too much trouble I could introduce you to some male dance partners at the ball if you wish?」 Millia 「No, it's fine...!」 Female Aristocrat 「...so then, shall we go?」 Zato 「Yes. Call me Zato. So then, Millia, don't let your guard down...」 Female Aristocrat 「...I see, hehe...」 *Zato walks away with his new 'escort'.* Millia 「Now I see, 'go mingle elsewhere', eh?」 ？ 「Such a sad face, Mademoiselle. If you wish, I could request a tune most fitting for you.」 Millia 「I appreciate the sentiment, thank you...but I would probably step on your feet.」 ？ 「Such sincere modesty. But perhaps even a wallflower could be entertained by conversation and a drink?」 Millia 「Yes, I think I shall.」 ？ 「The balcony is open, if you'll please come this way.」 Millia 「Such a beautiful night sky...I am Millia Carrie, pleased to meet you.」 ？ 「My how courteous, I am called "Slayer". Pleased to make your acquaintance...」 Millia 「"Slayer?"...such an ominous name.」 Slayer 「Pardon me...in truth it is a deceptive name and more the reputation I had in the old days.」 Millia 「Your household name must not have a peaceful history, then...」 Slayer 「Everyone has a story about their youthful indescretions to tell, I'm sure Ms. Millia has one as well?」 Millia 「Ehh...(A perceptive man. I wonder if he noticed?)」 Slayer 「That is to say, I noticed you bear a wound on your lower leg, and the way your shoulders stiffen at the joints when you speak, yes?」 Millia 「It seems so, you've read me too easily.」 *Note she's speaking quickly and nervously here.* Slayer 「Well then, what to toast to: ...To the Moon and Starlit night.」 Millia 「（Such a strange toast?） ...To the Moon and Starlit night.」 Slayer+Millia 「Cheers.」 *Tink*☆ Slayer 「I take great pleasure in observing the brilliant lives humanity has to offer, not the least of which includes the eyes of an exquisite woman.」 Millia 「Such a grand compliment, I wonder...what significance there is behind those words?」 Slayer 「The young must fight through the carnage.」 Millia 「While it's true I'm young, to just get involved in any conflicts that take place is...」 Slayer 「I'm sure you're aware of that...that's why the color of your eyes is different from the carefree Aristocrats in this ball.」 Millia 「(Such a strange man...my hair is restless.)」 Slayer 「But that's not all...Ms. Millia, though your eyes may have lost some life, they still shine with radiance.」 Millia 「Your kind compliment is a little off...I'm not particularly interested in life. What I find interesting is...death.」 Slayer 「To live well is not the same as dying well, then? So you all think that death is a crude escape from your perspective?」 Millia 「'You all'?」 Slayer 「Ah, forgive my impertinence. 'Young people' is whom I refer to.」 Millia 「Perhaps, it's possible that's true for me as well.」 Slayer 「You will eventually find significance and meaning to your life, I guarantee it.」 Millia 「So now you're a prophet?」 Slayer 「It's intuition from observing people for many many years, in this line of work, that is...」 Millia 「Intuition, heavy flattery, AND senility, I can guarantee that. More importantly, how were you invited here?」 Slayer 「Oh! That's right. I have a wealthy companion who invited me.」 Millia 「Well this was enjoyable.」 Slayer 「Perhaps we shall meet again.」 Millia 「I wonder about that, but perhaps we might meet again...」 Slayer 「To meet under good circumstances, or meet under bad...whatever fate shall bring us together, then.」 Millia 「It seems so.」 *Slayer walks away* Slayer 「Sorry to keep you waiting, Sharon. Huh? What's wrong? You're not mad are you?」 Millia 「(Such a strange man...? More importantly, he had no vulnerabilities. So skilled nobles exist as well, huh?)」 ~~~~~ Zato 「(2:00a.m....Millia should've finished the mission by now.)」 Venom 「Sir, the fourth group you arranged for has arrived.」 Assassin 「Diversion and Disruption operations are prepared.」 Zato 「Anomalies?」 Venom 「There is no abnormality in the security patrols outside the palace or the castle.」 Zato 「The mission will commence at 03:00a.m. Once Millia's escape is confirmed, we withdraw.」 Venom 「Sir!」

Hagar beasting the Hulk...does no one else see this as epic?

If you can find me a 1080p display that can go vertical (for shmups) that's under $100 bucks, let me know. ;_; I suffer everyday I use Composite.

OMG MY PICTURE WAS TAKEN, YOU STOLE MY SOUL, SHADOW! lolj/k Good to see people were having fun. If anyone was using TV 1 on the BlazBlue end, and TV 2 on the Guilty Gear end, that was my console stuff (just sayin'). I was the one who broke out HnK, Rumble Fish, Saint Seiya Hades Chapter, Last Blade 2, and Sengoku Basara X, hope you guys enjoyed it (I suck at non-GG/BB games, lol). I saw some awesome Faustings from Elvenshadow (against Eddie no less!), even bumped into ChronoSaber whom I met at Acen a while ago he was playing F/UC as Archer a lot. Maybe I'll play his Slayer again for a rematch someday. I met a few guys from here, and a ton of lurkers and guys from SRK, hope to bump into you again, if the Wheel of Fate keeps turning. Even though I didn't do any tourney stuff, I had a blast anyway (even played some Tech Romancer, Arcade Tetris, Megaman Power Battles, UMK3, Senko no Ronde and beat Arcade Accent Core on Stick on Hardest Setting!?!?) , so thanks again for bringing me, Supa. You haven't seen the last of me, Milwaukee Crew, we'll set something up locally more, I think. Supa, I hope you find someone to buy your Atomiswave man, good luck! And if anyone found an extra Wireless Controller, just shoot me a PM. And if you stole it, well...it wasn't my "lucky" controller, so HAHA YOU GOTTA BREAK IT IN. Good games, everybody!

A RANDOM BLADE HAS APPEARED! Okay guys, thanks to Supa, I may show up after all, but I doubt I'll be doing any major comp, just some friendlies, I'll be bringing my gear (if you've seen my list of fighting games, you know I'm an arsenal), so just bring an extra TV or somethin and I'll show the junk I got.

I'm broke. No ride. THIS SUCKS!

Okay well, the profile issue was resolved, so now I present a somewhat belated Christmas/New Year's Gift: GG: http://www.gearproject.onehitcombo.net/Guilty_Gear/Story_Dialogue/Guilty_Gear_The_Missing_Link.txt GGX: http://www.gearproject.onehitcombo.net/Guilty_Gear/Story_Dialogue/Guilty_Gear_X_By_Your_Side_G_Gear.txt GGXX: http://www.gearproject.onehitcombo.net/Guilty_Gear/Story_Dialogue/Guilty_Gear_XX_The_Midnight_Carnival.txt *Now with New Profiles and Updated Story Data* Well, after this I'll make one for GGXXAC+ and that should fill in all the gaps for you guys. And translate Night of Knives of course.

Me likey the CT recolors. I honestly thought the CT character designs looked better, anyway. Especially Ragna, Haku-men, and Noel's.

Okay, here's the thing, I'm looking for Personality Profile Data. To give you an example what this is, I'll give you Sol's Data. Okay, now that you know what Personality Profile data is, I'm looking for the data for the following characters: Bridget Zappa Slayer I-No These are the only characters that currently don't have easily found Personality Profiles, they have Stories, PWAB Profiles, and basic Profile data, but this key component is missing. Ideally I'd like to find this data from an official source. So far in the sites I've looked, I've not seen anything trustworthy, nor are the English manuals trustworthy. If someone could find the data or provide it along with the source, I'd appreciate it. Edit: Also, does anyone know if Judgment, Raymond, Fanny, Gig, or Leopaldon had profiles?

Ah, nevermind....lol I need to do more GG Fanart soon.

So pretty, Tong. *o* Thanks again!

I haven't seen Galactus...any news on him?

Geez...cut me some slack here...I was typing up GGXX Story Mode stuff.

You are so freakin' pro-homo.

I DEMAND SOMEONE MAKE BATMAN HAKU-MEN!!

Well, I noticed that Ragna and Haku tend to get trapped by falling j.C strings in the corner, and besides that, midscreen he tends to go all over the place.

This is just a broad strokes question but...any tips to beating FRKZ? I'm seeing more Bang players use it as a way out of trouble and it works.

This. Sorry, I forgot, only CT lets you IB Inferno Divider from the air. *was playing BBCT Portable recently*

IMO there are different reasons for IB, depending on what the situation is and what you want to do. To be honest, I'd say LEARN TO BLOCK FIRST before you even delve into Instant Block. Overheads, Mixup, Crossups, all of that are something you have to learn to block bar none. Only IB for these reasons: IBing for Advantage: This one's obvious, you IB for the frame advantage if you're aiming for hitting them with a counter/fatal counter (Ragna has the best FC after IB, I think), backing out of a situation (Arakune definitely needs this, especially versus Tsubaki/Valkenhayn pressure). Best to IB when you SEE SOMETHING coming and can react to it or have a move prepared that is suitable AFTER you've IB'd (slow startup moves don't exactly work in between guardstrings after IBs). IBing for Meter: This one is actually aimed towards Haku-men players, but it can apply to others too. You get a little heat each time you IB, so every little bit helps. It's primarily for characters who can afford to block and have lots of HP. IBing for Openings: This one is kinda hard to pull off, but for example's sake, say you're dealing with someone who spams Inferno Divider, normally this move is air unblockable, but if you IB it, not only don't you lose HP, but it CAN be blocked without Barrier. This is a gamble and quite risky, as some moves actually can't be IBed no matter what (Ragna's 6A) and have to be Barriered in the air. And then there are moves that are completely unblockable (Haku's Yukikaze, Jin's Charged Hirensou, Tsubaki's Charged 22+D, Hazama's 623D) so having caution and knowing when to jump instead of sit and block all day is important too. Remember though, IBing won't save you from Guard Break, as no amount of IBing will help against people destroying your Guard Primers, only Barrier can help with that and only on the last Primer and even then you're risking double damage if you run out of Barrier.

Well, we don't know what all can be done in EX or EX Revenge yet, so I can't give you a full list of nerfs/buffs. That said, I have NO IDEA how I'm going to pull off an Assist Break, especially since I tend to lock on to one target at the start of the fight and never leave the reticule until an EX Core shows up. If I get ambushed by an Assist combo it's not gonna be fun.
