Don’t see what makes you think that. None of the top tiers got better, although their losses have definintely been replaced with some good new options. And the low tiers got WAY better. Anji, Ky, Testament, Baiken, Chipp, and Zappa got MAJOR boosts (especially Zappa; HOT DAMN he’s beastly).
Potemkin takes damage… but only like about 1% from the attack.
Also, they made some of the low tiers a little too good, while the top tier characters really didn’t get much in return other than huge nerfs.
With increased pushback, wallbounce makes up for it but not that much.
Erm, did you even bother looking up Slash info before you posted?
Sorry guys, but the top tier are still top tier.
Eddie has an attack that completely refills his Eddie gauge on hit, and has an FRC on it. His air super is now a knockdown.
Slayer gets mappa feint, and undertow okizeme that’s unbelieveable.
Faust … well, faust is great. No real need to comment there. x_x;
Top tier imo so far(just from watching vids so very biased opinion coming up):
Faust looks REALLY NASTY…
johnny
eddie (from what ive read)
Possibly Hos
mid tier:
everyone else
bottom tier:
SOL BADGUY…WHY SAMMY WHY?!
Holy Order Sol may actually peak my interest in GG again which has been rather dead for awhile.
dude slayers bite invincibility is gone, they say go for normal throw. ^^" BDC is still there but not that useful anymore. SImilarly undertow is BLOCKABLE. And yes, ppl has yet to find out sol’s new combo potential.
on another note Eddie may be able to refill his gauge, um, but the second hit of his shadow gallery is techable now, that means no more 90% damage into 90% damage, unless they RC. Well at least he needs tension. ANd anyway, littl’ eddie uses more of the shadow gauge than reload, so less moves for littl’ eddie. So if you are smart you can block everything, and with increase push back you can get out easier, and eddie gauge depletes quicker so yeea. And if he does manage to throw you, most prob by that time he can’t do the mine, and even if he can he can’t do another knock down unless he has tension. Also Eddie is vulnerable when flying. He will need to FD to block stuff and if he doesn’t block it’s known as counter hit. But yea, plz read the whole thing b4 you post dude. SLayer isn’t top tier yet, and jam has gone down the drain, and eddie sure needs to work a lot harder now. Now Faust a mid tier is now top tier… HMMMMMM
^^"
Undertow as okizeme is a great option now because it gives him frames, gets a combo on CH, and on normal hit I think he might need meter, or he might just have to be in the corner. But it gives him FRAMES. That’s great for him. That enough should be obvious.
Kasou, who exactly are you talking to anyway? Your post is confusing.
It seems to me from what I see in the vids Ky has gotten much better.
my post was aimed at kugler mainly, but also directed to general others who think OMFG slayer and eddie is even betta, coz they’re not. Undertow is finally a usuable move (it was usuable b4, but only under rare circumstances, and why would you use it when you got the invincible okizeme bite?). NOw that the invincibility of the bite is gone (thus wakeup bite is gone), undertow is the alternative option and it gives frames. THe frames is good as it would set him up for some decent mixup afterwards, but definately not as good as b4
and as for ky being betta? I suppose so, becoz of the frc throw, but personally i think that is the only good thing about ky now.
edit: watched some more ky clips. Air throw is also pretty awesome as it provides wall bounce.
On a seperate note i think faust, johnny, and ino play/look realli amazing now. Mist finer upper into wallbounce spices it up for me. It’s HAWT! Oh and his new move to cover ground and go through projectiles is realli nice, and would help him with the likes of bridget. Keep the vids rollin’
I’m really interested in obtaining some information on how one might go about ordering one. If you or anyone you know have information on this, I’d really appreciate it if you can let me know how. Just reply in this thread or PM me.
I think you need to fill out a special order or wait for your arcade to get it. I suggest waiting. We were going to ask him sometime next week.
There’s websites you can order the Slash machine from, but I don’t know them lol.
Are you sure? There was a ton of us there for ECCX. It’s really a shame that GG is “dead”, because IMO, it’s one of the best fighters out now. =/
It is the best 2D fighter as far as I’m concerned. It just turns out that America’s been rather slow to catch on…
I actually feel the same way, I just didn’t want to sound preachy.
No offense, but I REALLY wish Guilty Gear fans would avoid this short-sighted view on why GG isn’t as popular as other games in the US. It ignores the fact that Sammy has done almost NOTHING to help promote the game in the States. We’ve had no real arcade release and they don’t advertise the console releases (which are few and very, very, very far between). I guess Sony’s policy regarding 2d fighters is a problem but regardless, blaming US players for the current state of afairs is both counter-productive and (IMO at least) totally off-base. Doesn’t help that the GG community can be a LITTLE nasty at times and is often viewed as a bunch of socially akward, drama-whoring Japanophiles. I would argue the competitive community is definitely not like that for the most part, but we shouldn’t deny the fact that GG is, at the very least, associated with such people (all the more reason they should be deported or killed; I’m only half-joking BTW).
I’ve been to a couple tournys and met a couple GG players, none of which where how you described. Where does this stereotype come from? I’m in New Jersey, if that makes a difference as to why I’ve never seen it.
Read his post again. HIS interest. Not the interest of everyone else.

Ah, I see, when he said “which has been dead for awhile” I assumed he meant GG, not his interest. My mistake.
Yeah, the thing is my arcade will typically not take any initiative when it comes to taking care of the arcade section unless the players start complaining (even then, their response is usually half-ass).
So if I were to just sit and wait and hope they order in one, then it’ll never happen. Which is why I’m planning to at least post up information on their feedback/suggestion board so they’re at least aware of the game and how they can go about ordering one instead of doing the research themselves (because I know they’ll be too lazy to do so on their own).
If anyone has ordering information, post something up in this thread or PM me. Thanks.
