Guilty Gear XX Accent Core PLUS R: New update for GGXX! coming to Arcade, PSN, XBLA and now Vita!

[Nephinel]

Finally, some progress! 360 owners may have to wait a little longer just like with the Skullgirls patch but it will all be worth it

[SirMixahLot]

PSN players waited like 3 months before GGAC dropped on PS3…
IDGAF if Xbox players have to wait for this.

You see, I said something negative…and it happened. I did that on purpose.

Get excite.

Unsure if this has been posted already, but matchup chart thats been floating around for awhile it seems

Zappa, the “best” character, has to respect Dizzy and Chipp for sure? I think I like how balanced this is getting. The only 7-3 match ups appear to be Dizzy vs Justice and Potemkin vs Slayer. While I don’t know too much about Dizzy or Justice, I think the Potemkin match up will always be an issue for Slayer by design.

[Hyper_Inferno]

Is there still no quick rematch option for offline?

Looking forward to the new 6P combos with May though.

Source and when was this made and is this for the latest build?

[ThatJollyOlBastid]

On the JP BBS, and its from March/April apparently

[ES_Curse]

My apologies Johnny mains, I forgot Zappa’s 7-3 match up against you. Those sword buffs must be really freaking good to make the match-up that lopsided.

EDIT: Yo Chipp, how did you wind up with such a great series of match-ups? While you don’t have any truly outstanding match-ups, you don’t really lose anything. No, I don’t consider 4.5-5.5 to be a losing match-up. Just “not-quite-perfectly-even”.

[SirMixahLot]

I’m stoked.

[AtTheGates]

that’s a community matchup chart pretty much. opinions differ a lot on this. i recall fab’s tier list back when R was released saying that pot vs chipp is in favor of pot, and that was before chipp’s j.HS got 80% proration in 1.10. also, nobody except samitto can play chipp properly these days (endou just likes to troll, unfortunately), so his matchups on that list need to be taken with a grain of salt - he’s leading this chart in points and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that he’s certainly not the strongest character right now.

[ThatJollyOlBastid]

Zappa has the highest at (135) and Chipp at (129.5)

I usually see Zapp/Chipp/Dizzy/Faust or Millia brought up as the best characters

[Alzarath]

Heads up, if anyone has JP PSN version +R is available.

[OneSanitarium]

Now the wait for the US patch…

I’m so ready for some +R Slayer.

[YusukeUrameshi]

is it free? or does it cost money?

[Hecatom]

Free

[YusukeUrameshi]

Maybe now I’ll actually have somebody to effing play.

[keo-bas]

+r I-no. I am so ready
