Guilty Gear Thread

>Faust and Slayer confirmed
>designs unchanged

Now hopefully, Baiken, Johnny and Dizzy will repeat this trend.
I don't mind redesigns per se but if they're all gonna be like Potemkin's, yeah, I'd prefer if they stick to the classics. :P

Ok, they gotta get Dizzy outta that stasis.

Though, I hope they use the redesign from the Pachinko machine or her Queen dress from GG2. So fancy!

I just read the prologue. Seems the "Lady of the Grove" mystery is well and truly settled.
Yeah, here's hoping she breaks off before Guilty Gear XXrd Random Words That Make No Sense But I Guess They Sound Cool #Reload.

The prologue mentions Paradigm, Sin and Valentine so I guess they'll show up too. But since GG embraces the KoF tradition of having NPCs that could clearly hold their own in a fight, they're not really a given as playable characters.
 
Apparently there are new system mechanics too. The RC section of the new mechanics manual says that now they may cost either 50% or 25%, which sounds like FRCs are back. The repel clash thing that was shown off in the first trailer has been cut (guess people didn't like it too much, hooray location tests) and a new mechanic called Blitz Shielding which sounds like a better slashback that costs 25% meter.
 
Say, for a total newbie. if i wanted to learn Guilty Gear's story, what games i should pick? there are a lot of games... and a lot of enhanced versions of each game too, so the series seems kinda frightening for me to get in.

(Yeah, i'm one of these guys that values a fighting game plot and characters, that likes to know what are the motivations for the fight instead of just chosing the most overpowered character in the list. SUE ME!)

Thing is that XX-#Reload and AC-AC+R have different stories so I would have to say #Reload and AC+/AC+R for stories if you want to see the 2 different story modes between the XX rehashes.

for simple ways of getting into the story, here's the order:

GG1 can be skipped since its story actually recounted in Justice's AC+ story.
GGX is kinda vague. that game's story mode in a japan onlyrelease called GGX+. there is full script of it on gamefaqs.
XX is easy. find a copy of #R. it shouldn't be hard to find. i think its in the ps2/original xbox sections of PSN/XBLA. there's also a pc version out around somewhere.
AC+ is the next story segment. also readily available on PSN & XBLA.
GG2 is a tough one. basically its only out for 360 and its a weird MOBA hybrid game. if you wanna dig it up, it may be in a game store bargain bin or sold used. but the story seems most relevant to Xrd since characters like Sin & Dr. Paradigm are being mentioned. if you don't want to do that, find a youtube playthrough. either way, its got Troy Baker & Liam O'Brien as Sol & Ky! So that's neat!

also some of the fighting game story modes may have weird or unclear conditions for unlocking various story routes, so I recommend that, whatever you do, find a faq and set it to the easiest difficulty because the story modes have no problem dropping Gold characters on you and some ending conditions can be really harsh.

It can be had on GOG for $6. Its a straight port of the console release, no additional bells or whistles.
 
indeed he's classy. just need to take out the moustache...

Seems like Faust has a new exit (or entrance) pose, I like it.

oh faust. he's so silly yet he's super strong in every game he's in.
 
Any videos up yet? I really want to see more of the character in action.
 
Wouldn't mind seeing the redesign from that pochinko post way earlier for Dizzy but honestly as long as shes playable im fine. Slayer... SO happy he didn't get Potemkin'd. Classy man stay classy.
 
Faust's Thousand Years of Death + I-no's face = Priceless

I really love Slayer's, Millia's, and I-no's Intro.
 
For a few short seconds, Faust brings the real Potemkin back. A true hero.

Of course I-No would look as though she enjoyed it. Also, I can't wait to see what Bridget's reaction would be.

Or better yet, what about A.B.A's reaction?
 
I suspect Bridget will be... intrigued.
 
I could have lived my life up until release of that game with no regrets... now I want it yesterday... damn.

I got a single regret.

I don't have any sony systems and only a 360, so i won't even be able to play this (or the newest BB) when it comes out. :(

Oh, I-No.... You naughty, naughty girl!

Didn't Faust use a Giant Scalpel for his Kanchou Super in the past?

Also, I feel sorry for Slayer's poor wife.

Those reactions are hilarious(especially I-no's reaction). The more info I hear about this game the more I hope Arc System announces a release date before the end of this year.

Cerebella palette for Faust plz

Side note, it's my firm belief that the red crosses added on his arms are a nod to Valentine. :3


Getting seriously hyped for this. Just need a confirmation on Baiken, Johnny and Dizzy to seal the deal.
 
lol Paper Sharon

Could those red crosses on Faust's arms be a reference to the ones on Valentine's legs? (Skullgirls Valentine not GG2 Valentine with the balloon)

We already got Panzerfaust Potemkin, right?

I think so. Hence my side note of "my firm belief that the red crosses added on his arms are a nod to Valentine." ;)

Alternatively, they were probably added so the less attentive get that he's supposed to be a doctor.

In any case, seems Faust was saved of the "random words scribbled around the costume" epidemic. Thank goodness for that! 2edgy4me

Ishiwatari's art always had random words written on it. 3D models just allowed him to throw it into the game.

I was unaware this was going to be Sony exclusive, did I miss something?

It's not confirmed that it will be Sony exclusive. It's just that it will probably be Sony exclusive after all of the problems with Microsoft for earlier games and BBCP being Sony exclusive. But that could just be the crazy conspiracy theorist talking.
