In previous Guilty Gears, they were randomized and some had higher/lower chances of coming out, with Meteors, Mini Robo-Kys, and Mini Potemkins having the lowest chance. No idea how they work in Xrd, but it seems like Mini Faust is more common then they used to be.
in the GG setting, everywhere outside of cities is pretty much a Hokuto no Ken-style lawless wasteland covered by bandits. Hench why there is a burger sheriff.
Chipp also drops vital truth knowledge on May in the story. The power of friendship!
FAB and Consome are the prime Pot players you will be looking at
Consome but just watch FAB. They are worlds apart.
I agree with the voice work in this game. I was VERY hesitant to hear a Guilty Gear in English, even though I prefer dubs to subs, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out. I especially love May's voice. I dunno what it is, but something about it just turned out perfect.
He lost that election to Pot's best friend, said "good shit", basically became ninja Kenshiro in some far off part of the world, established a government as a sheriff with no real authoritative power, then won a democratic election to be the place that he established leader.
At first I wasn't sure about May's voice.
Guilty Gear XX #Reload is the one on Steam that is generally still played online via fan-made netplay clients if I recall correctly. It's a good starting point to play GG nevertheless and IMO it's an enjoyable game on its own merits. Most people will tell you the older versions of GG are actually harder than Xrd anyway, but don't let that discourage you from playing them, I highly recommend any game in the XX series and #Reload is a classic.
