GGXX:Accent Core Thread! [AMERICAN PS2 RELEASE, GO GO GO!]

someone was telling about her in air Heavy slash is missing on the jap version?

Yeah like I said. His neutral yo-yo set, j.HS

they were saying it was critical to her gameplay and useless without it…how so?

Will Canada ever get this game? I’ve tried EB, Blockbuster, and Future Shop every day for the past 6 days, to no avail. I guess I have to resort to ordering online.

Well, I guess I’ll pick a different main character. Bridget, Slayer or Order Sol?

I’ve been playing GG since X, but never played it seriously.

Blah, I’ll do an Anji writeup later.

@Katra: If you still have fun with Anji then you don’t have to switch. May be hard to win with but if the butterflies fit your style then stick with him.

MEH.

Honestly, there are a lot of characters with pretty weak damage output without meter that are ranked anywhere from somewhat to a LOT better than Anji (Ky, Millia to an extent, Dizzy, but she’s fairly low too). From what I’ve seen, Anji’s real weak spot is his inability to get his offense going. His autoguard got nerfed, and he doesn’t have any super-fast or very invincible moves to rely on, making his pressure game either gimmicky or oki-reliant (Which means you have to score a random knockdown, which can be hard). Honestly, I think Slayer and Pot are the only characters whose damage output really defines their tier placement, and even then, their ability to GET that damage is really what makes them shine.

But that’s just my opinion based on observing Anji matches. I’m sure someone who actually plays the character would be a more reliable source on this issue.

quick question…how hard is Ino to pick up…

Probably one of the most difficult guy… but very rewarding if you have the skill and patience.

maybe he was scared away by your av which apparently says “LOLINOHOMO” :confused:

how is that avatar “NO HOMO” anyway? :confused:

it has “YESSSSS HOMO x 540867” written all over it

The difficulty in playing I-No comes from learning to do Chemical Love FRC canceled into a dash. Once you’ve mastered that, she’s pretty basic, as all you really have to do is trap your opponent with notes and mix-up like a a crazed motherfucker.

Anybody know where I can find a list of character colors other than trial and error?

edit: killing two birds with one post, what does Johnny’s Bacchus Sigh do?

i posted it awhile back, hope you know how to translate the site

it makes mist finer unblockable

bacchus sigh makes mist finer unblockable, but it johnny takes longer to do it AC then in previous versions, making it a somewhat risky move to use.

random note: robo-ky ex p color is mine biatches

RK mark II is what got me into Robo-ky to begin with.

Yes, wonderful. Unless you have experience in competitive Smash, you really shouldn’t be arbitrarily putting down entire gaming communities. Smash actually has a legit fanbase (represented at EVO), and has as many tournaments as any other fighter out there. And if you actually played the game, you’d realize that it’s engine is about as well-conceived as GG’s is. . .it’s a great fighting game, it just happens to be untraditional.

No random hating, plz.

Anyways, questions about Bridget:

  1. A general question, but. . .what the heck do I do with all of these yo-yo sets? I’m watching vids, and it seems like 4HS is for when I want to set up corner lockdown after knockdown, 7HS is for Roger Get unblockable setups. . .is this the right idea?

  2. What’s j.5HS for? I heard it was important for mixup/crossover (which was why people were upset when it wasn’t in the Japanese PS2 version), but I have no idea how it’s supposed to be used.

  3. What’s Bridget’s main means of dealing damage? Am I supposed to be going for his aerial BnB combos (j.S, j.2S, dj.S, dj.2S, dj.623P), and if so, what kind of setups should I be using. . .because I’m doing FRC starship -> 6S, and 2D RC -> 5K -> 6S; is this right? Or should I be aiming for basic gatling combos leading to knockdown -> 6HS/4HS -> Roger Rush oki + mixup -> more gatling combos?

Koogy, if you told me how to play Bridget-chan, that would so l337!

He doesn’t even play Smash.
And I use to. And I’ve been to several tourneys and he hasn’t.
He’s one of those people who will disagree with shit just to be different, he says he hates marvel but it’s all he plays.
But yeah, I agree Smash is a great game…it just needs some more representation…fighting community wise and Evo helped it out a lot.

Ah well.

All the bridget stuff:
Read the first page before asking question.
Read the guides provided.
If you still have questions after reading them.
Then ask.
Don’t just go OMGZ HOW DO I PLEY DIS GUY? POST PLZ!

:rofl: I wish I could sig both of these.

But basically. I just thought it’d be a funny idea for an avatar. Thoughts of weird reactions (noted above) and lots of “wtfs”

I’ve got a lot of rep because of people liking it, and a lot of PM’s cause it scared them…ah well.

. . .you’re right. I wasn’t aware that I had massive spelling errors and used all caps in my previous post while desperately begging for advice. Clearly, I am in the wrong.

I’m posting questions precisely because 1) the answers are not on the front page, and 2) dustloop info, while helpful, tends to be disorganized, occasionally unreliable, and sifting through 20 pages of random banter to find one minutia of helpful info isn’t a pleasant experience for anyone. As other people have already noted.
