Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- one of life's gilty pleasures

Ahh…nice to get back in and be cheered up after X-bONE.

On topic… Guilty Gear X2 was actually my FIRST game period when I got my PS2. After playing a bit of it at some shop at the mall, I was HOOKED.
Mostly stuck with the series since.

Mechanics aside, game’s not that hard to keep up with and learn. Only thing that was a bit of a pain for those getting into the game was attempting consistent FRCs with your chosen character. Whether that’ll stay in X-ird remains to be seen.

Oh yeah… Testament BETTER be in this mess. One of the sillier reasons I could NOT get into BB was cause I couldn’t find a character that played as close to him (Wound up going with Haku-men instead…and dammit that was just masochism).

2.5D when it looks like this is a wonderful thing.

OK, so If I am going to make this my mistress game (the wifey game being…ah fuck it yall already know), I’d like an easy Cable character, i.e., easy to pick up and not be totally embarrassed right away.

who am i

Sol Badguy.

Sol, Ky, Axl and Testament i guess. Maybe Slayer

poifect, ive been crushing on sols muscular physique in the new trailer anyways <3

thanks bros

Jam is also pretty easy.

Rachel? Mu-12?

I’ll admit I may be way off-base in my comparison, since my only GG experience is a little bit of Slash (which I’ll rectify…eventually).

Sol’s chunkiness reminds me of how the old Marvel sprites used to be chunky as well, not like the wannabe SNK proportions of the stuff in MvC3.

Im downloading ^core plus right now to learn some CAMBOS

who knows, this could change my ENTIRE outlook on life!

Grab a burst and your life will be shaken.

I play Slayer, so if you end up liking him I can help. He seems weird to combo with at first, since he has a lot of linking.

Anji Mito is where it’s at.

Guilty Gear has such a great cast you literally say any character ‘is where it’s at’ and everyone would agree. Mostly. :smiley:

Maybe I’ll get hate for this but GG has a lot of “on paper” hard about it than in practice hard. Not saying it’s all easy, but when you explain stuff like clean hits and impossible dust to someone, it sounds a lot harder than it really is.

i looked p the sol bg combo thread on dustloop and i have no idea wtf any of what hey are saying means :frowning:

What don’t you understand?

Consult the guide, bro. It gives you a run down of all the good stuff.

http://dustloop.com/guides/ggac/index.html

nj.S = neutral jump slash
j.S = forward jumping slash
Backwards jump is not used in any combo listed
DJ = double jump
SW = Of course it’s a clean hit so don’t ask
CH = Counter Hit

makes sense

first combo listed

Dust Combos:
5D, j.D, j.D, DJ >> falling j.D, dash j.D, SW, dash 2H, j.D, SW, nj.S, SW, BR = 199 damage (Must be in corner by 4th j.D)

whats BR? theres other unexplained notations too :frowning:

Oh, they’re making initials out of his special moves. BR= Bandit Revolver.

Special moves.

SW = Sidewinder
BR = Bandit Revolver

Like what? IAD SW? WT>??? GF FRC IAD>???
