I can't find anything on this from news outlets. Are people just making crap up, or are there legitimate rumblings?

He's actually coming out of tourney-hermit-mode and attending Combo Breaker. It was one of my hopes with KOF staying on the menu since his fandom for the series carries deep. I haven't seen him in a couple years so its gonna be good seeing the dude get out and about again. Salt notwithstanding he was, and is, one of my favorite guys from the scene(s).

Dammmnn that's great. Yea despite many peoples' problems with him I do think he was one of my favorite players to watch as well. And goodluck with CB2015! Shit should be super hype.

Your poor soul, once you saw Bridget you probably regained faith in humanity for a quick second until you could not find any info on team Stickbug's ramblings. We're here to help Busaiku, Shouta has a banhammer in case you lose it though and become a guest among us.

Gat DAMN RayRay made a pixel comeback on Bum's stream just now with Magneto vs. 3 characters - I'm talking empty health bar pixel.

Damn.

Oh man, following Xrd's character updates is going to be the new "when's Megaman" isn't it? :p

Uh...when weren't they? Didn't they even have a novel or something about exactly this?
Click to expand...
People didn't take that novel as canon as this has happened before in the DMC canon (novel comes out after game, is canon until the next game in the series overrides novel). So there was always controversy over this.

However someone read through the DMC3142 Graphic artbook and translated a portion of Nero's profile (posted a scanned image, can't post it here obviously) and says it as clear as day that he is in fact Vergil's son.

I bought MK on Vita. Hope the single
player stuff is worth $8. I'm getting to this Gollumish place where I just want to have a million fighting games on this thing. Skullgirls where you at?

Time for my I-No to body/get bodied for your entertainment. My CECC2 Xrd top 8 match coming up now: www.twitch.tv/torontotoptiers



Forever hold your VF5:FS loss to me here. :p

EDIT: I am right down there with you. Pivotal drop! :eek:
Click to expand...

No one is at that level... Losing 18 rounds and only winning (iirc) 2 in front of the internet is too shitty. Made myself and the game look bad with that onesided performance. :(

Much <3!!! You coming to Lima bro? Lemme know and maybe we can arrange something, what games do you play?

Maybe you can understand the joke we had when JWong and ChrisG came to play and we said "yeah, it's right at the start of our national anthem: We're FREE!!!"

It's always seemed to me the main reason people latch on to Bridget is because of "lol secretly a boy tho!?!" aspect of the character.

He's pretty awesome when it comes to playing him. But yes that's why he is popular and honestly it's a shitty reason to be popular. He's not even secretly a boy, he straight up says he's a boy. His story is about him "wanting to be more manly"

But hey people love Futanari shit so it's no shock.

My life on streams. Tell people I'm about to play, they miss the set where I win or at least put up a good show.

Then people catch the set where I get destroyed in top 8 or something : /


But that's unfortunate AAK :(

I felt like this for a while but after seeing him played and realizing that's the closest I'm ever getting to seeing a strictly yo-yo based Mike Jones in a fighting game, I began to respect the character a bit more. :lol

Edit: Preach Rhapsody. Nothing like doing random lab streams that are near ghost towns but seeing all the viewers come in to watch me get mauled in the worst kinds of ways. :lol

I meant more that people are into the character due to the gender-ambiguity rather than reasons related to playstyle (though anytime there's a general char design thread on the gaming side and bridget is mentioned, there always people surprised he's not a girl).

Oh, so it's like people being attached to guilty gear due to the reputation of the franchise rather than having any actual history playing it.

I think it's OK to like a character for non-gameplay reasons.

Yeah- I dunno, it's just really annoying that every single Xrd thread leading up to the game's release was full of people saying "No (insert char name here), no thanks." It was like a hipster battle of who could pine for the most obscure least-played character to pine for. That and the threads were full of people claiming they will wait for the 'definitive version' of the game. It's a bunch of people that liked the idea of talking about the game more than actually playing the game.

Absolutely- but I can't believe people who like Guilty Gear really aren't going to buy the game based on the inclusion of any single character. Somebody says, "Disappointed in no Bridget," and it's fine. Somebody says, "No Bridget, no sale!" is probably a piece of shit that wasn't going to buy the game regardless.

Spooky never mentioned Bridget, besides saying that he'd be an obvious choice.

No, what he did was far worse.
He dared to insult Laura Bailey.

At least his fanbase doesn't go "lalala I can't hear you nor care if it's canon" about that unlike what I remember from a certain other videogame character >_>

Either they like that character a lot or they're making a joke. I don't think that makes someone a piece of shit either way.

I literally bought Guilty Gear XX Accent Core 3 times.
Not + or +R, Accent Core, 3 times.
I only bought + twice, including the PS3 release.
