Ahem, I heard some jokes about the game’s “new off the ground combo system” is based on this:
Expect this game to be broken, dude. The question is, can they make it fun this time?
You think after all of these “2D Sprites is dead because it isn’t possible anymore” posts along with the tidal wave of complaint with Street Fighter IV not using sprites that this game would be much more well received by people.
Sweet Jesus don’t jinx this game!
Well that isn’t sexist.:rolleyes: (Assuming that it wasn’t sarcasm)
As many have said Guilty Gear was “rock themed”. Possibly they’re go a different style with this like hip-hop or techno or just make it non-music themed.
Sol…Badguy!
No Dencore
arcana heart isnt plural
Rebuttal rejected. “Sol Badguy” just sounds corny. “Ragna The Bloodedge” is on an entire new level of greasy long-haired D&D dorkiness. Do not question me. I was a fifteen-year-old metalhead eight years ago.
Why the hell do you always quote my posts and put “No Dencore”?
I was a fifthteen year old metal head 3 years ago.
in all fairness, Sol Badguy is just the alias of a guy who obviously figured out that going by “Fred” isn’t nearly as fearsome
Chill Out Dencore
I’m really hoping this new game doesn’t have any of the old GGXX characters. Really.
Yeah that’d be really fucking lame and dumb.
i bet there’d be one as a cameo or a hidden boss

Highly unlikely since this game has nothing to do with Guilty Gear. It’s been stated repeatedly in this very thread, that it’s not, too.
Not that I want or desire such a thing, but Zazz has a point. If they really wanted to, they could just as easily allot for a cameo boss battle of some sort, just because they really wanted to. And since GG already has such wacky things like time travel and alternate dimension hopping, it wouldn’t be but so “weird”.
Of course, if they were going to do some thing of that nature, we’d have to consider some thing with respect to the game itself. To make this notion work, the character sprite would have to be basically “compatible” the environment for this game, with respect to the sprite engine.
So, in other words…the only way I could see some one like Sol Badguy getting imported, would be if BB’s sprite engine was basically the same thing as we’ve seen before, and was not too far removed from the likes of GGXX. Otherwise, he would have to be re-drawn to fit into this game (assuming it uses a new graphics engine, but I doubt that).
If they MUST do that though…save it for the console port. At least then, the character would probably be ruled just as a “special character” and wouldn’t be liable for competitive play…
Sigh. I really don’t like these character designs at all.
He looks like Potemkin’s father but smaller. I can’t wait to beat him down with Ragna. I’m interested in how he fights.
I’m not gonna complain about this game until I’ve played it since it at least looks good in initial screenshots, I can’t really say that about another fighting game we’re all waiting for…
For people who don’t like the designs…sorry? At least they don’t look like rejected MK designs…but to each his own. They seem plain but that doesn’t really bother me. I don’t know what people expect from Sammy. I like clean designs so it doesn’t bother me. Sometimes less is more.
Then again, I think for some reason people will always hate Sammy for their “anime-inspired” designs, even though Capcom did the same thing after ST…maybe in a different way but nontheless the sprites are anime inspired. There’s no way we’d have 100% agreement from everyone on a game, this is srk after all.
Sammy has nothing to do with GG/BlazBlue now, they only previously published GG before Sega bought them out.
Arc System Works is and always has been the developer.
For those who have a problem with the character designs:
You don’t actually believe ASW can top GG in character design do you? And let’s not forget Zappa. How many of you like his design when you first saw him? Or Faust’s? You, today you won’t like the designs but when get your hands on the game you’ll chnage your mind.
I don’t understand all the dislike for the characters. In my case, as Hatred Edge already said, less is more. I’m likin them alot so far.
Nope, I actually liked most of the characters in Guilty Gear (I liked the first Guilty Gear game). However, these characters just look like weak new school Final Fantasy characters.
You see posters mentioning designs for 15 Year Old Metal Heads, well I agree with them.
Anyway, I’m selfish. If I don’t get a moody/depressed character, I probably won’t play it anyway. To be honest the designs aren’t bad, they just look ‘Meh’ to me.
We can only wait and see.
