Guilty Gear

[nests]

Yeah I admit I never looked in to it deep enough its just that it never really caught my attention that much, maybe because I though of it to similar to MVC games as for what I meant by "if you learn how to play with one character you can pretty much use all of them" is that all characters pretty much follow the same pattern where you pretty much have to figure out how to juggle your oppomnet in the air an beat the crap out of him by using your character combos

Edit: my favorite character was Chip but the pros where I live kept telling me that he sucked

i like guilty gear a lot, i have ggxx #reload on pc, and its pretty awesome ( jam all the way ), but can someone tell me what guilty gear isuka is?

What it is is an amalgamation of Guilty Gear and the party game.

To sum it up, up to a maximum of four characters can have it out in a two-laned (background + foreground) arena. Because of this setup, a manual about-face button has been added, along with a couple of new attacks for each character that takes advantage of the two lanes and backattacks.

The main game itself is essentially like the GGXX survival mode. Also included are new character ABA, new boss Leopaldon, and RoboKy MkII, which can be customized to be outfitted with just about any special attack of your choice. A color edit mode is incorporated, as well, and the GG Boost mode is basically a side-scrolling brawler of sorts (think Tekken Force mode).

All in all quite an amusing game. Can't be played seriously, though, as the balancing issues are completely thrown out of whack with the inclusion of multiple characters (not to mention, ABA is horrendously broken in Isuka).

Gold. Freaking. Chipp.

He's so fast it's hilarious. When I'm tired of playing and just wanna mess around I always resort to playing with Gold Chipp. He can pretty much run faster than he can teleport.

The PS2 version of Guilty Gear XX Slash is now out in Japan. I snatched a torrent from piratebay.org, so I recommend that place for anyone else who might want it (game is rather well seeded too).

Impressions: Well, improved A.B.A is interesting and so is Order Sol (although I don't understand the latter's level up system in the least). It's just too bad that with this being the third X2 revision (not counting the different Reload versions), things are getting too damn old. I am honestly sick of having to unlock EX characters once again. And the only way to do so is by beating those absurd missions. Bah.

My verdict, only get this to try the new characters and moves - otherwise stick to X2 or X2 Reload (whichever you got, because you better have one of them or you will die).
