Worth noting that Arc's other stuff are usually a good bit less complex and easier to manage than guilty gear.

Other than hokuto no ken which is just full on bonkers.

Fist of the North Star is the best. Absolutely love the shenanigans which gives us amazing stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V3O9dDj4Ck

Great news, the more people playing GG Rev2 the better for everyone.

 

[lucebuce12]

For newcomers to the series:

If the game's insane number of systems seems overwhelming to you, remember that you don't HAVE to learn most of them. In your first few weeks, you'll still be coming to grips with your character and the general back-and-forth of the game so don't make life difficult for yourself by trying to learn things like Faultless Defense and Instant Blocks too.

EDIT: Do try to learn Roman Cancels though, as they're a big part of the game.

Play at your own pace, learn as you feel like it and just kick back and enjoy the animu.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Xrd is definitely my favorite modern fighter mechanically, and it really deserves all the praise it gets. Rev2 came out at kind of an awkward time, since everyone is more focused on Injustice and Tekken, but it is SO good. Happy to see them get more sales.

 

[DrFunk]

This is good news. I'm glad ASW is finally blowing up

Newbies: don't​ be scared of the meters. Or 26 colors for every character lol

 

[capylikesgames]

Yeah, the fact that it did so much off-sale is a win. It also means when summer sale comes around, that number might jump up even higher. Though I'm curious, how different does FighterZ look in comparison to Xrd, gameplay-wise?

 

[muteki]

I was hoping this would happen, GG is great, full featured, and a joy to look at and play, more people should enjoy it.

 

[simatron3000]

But... Why not wait till the DBZ game comes out?

Training. There will be many shared mechanics and the general feel of the game will be very similar.

 

[crimzonflame]

OK how are my girls Jam and Millia in this game? Last GG I played was GGX for Dreamcast. I loved that game so much.

Which also shows how well Arcsys can capture a tone of what they are adapting.

Even if it means making the game ridiculously broken.

 

[RM8]

I bought Xrd and I literally played it for 45 minutes. I'm not into DBZ but I promise I'll launch the game one of these days and give it another chance. It's difficult these days since I'm juggling T7, SFV, and KOFXIV ( all of which I love).

 

[jeemer]

uhm... i wouldn't mind jumping on the bandwagon myself. i always thought asw games looked fantastic, but i was put off with how they'd release new versions they'd take ages to port, and as a pc player i couldn't keep up.

if i wanted to get in some practice can someone recommend the cheapest way for me to get ggxrd on pc?

 

[Tizoc]

lots of systems to learn, may as well get a little taste

GG Xrd Rev has Easy Input Option.
Which they should implement into DBFZ. Casual Mashing FTW!

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

It's a great game that deserves more love. Good for them.

 

[DataGhost]

Might also be because of the price drop

I agree with your overall point but Roman Cancels seem pretty important, at least RCing on hit. They're in a lot of bread-n-butter combos.

All the other stuff can be ignored, honestly.

This was the cheapest available option for a time
https://www.dlgamer.com/us/games/buy-guilty-gear-xrd-rev-2-all-in-one-42445

But keep an eye out as they may get keys back in stock, otherwise I'd recommend Humblebundle.

 

[Fandangox]

Every little bit helps!

Fantastic game.

I mean unless you want to learn the specific timing of frc, Roman cancels aren't that crazy.

Fair enough, I'll edit my post.

 

[sibarraz]

U missed the deal that had them both for a little under gbp 30

I saw it, and thought on buying it, but I spend my gaming money of the month on KOF 14: SE, Tekken7 and a hori fighting commander pro.

I'm glad with tekken and the controller but I had a sour taste with KOF, I hope that the final release today will improve the performance in the game, but I started to lose hope honestly

 

[BasilZero]

I have gotten almost all of the gg games on steam except for the latest one.

Been playing the second blazblue - can't wait to play the new dbz game ;D

 

[Momentary]

Just throwing down this intro/instant kill exhibition video down. Game was running at 5K and I recorded at 4K 120MBps. You can probably grab stills from youtube for background images.

In my opinion, I feel like Revelator is the best looking fighter out there. The techniques used to create this game are just amazing.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Might also be because of the price drop

Nope, only picks up big time after DBF

 

[sibarraz]

Does the steam version have a decent playerbase online?

GG is almost dead in my scene, and I don't want to play this game for the sp, unless it could work as an anticipation for db

 

[Puruzi]

YES

ASW deserves this

Yeah it's pretty easy to find a fight, not thousands of people but I don't have a problem.

 

[luckyjj10]

If everyone worried about the population in guilty gear just bought and played it then we would have plenty of players

Make sure you buy the rev2 package.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/luckyjj/

anyone want to play some time add me!

 

[Monochromaticx]

Because they heard Guilty Gear is also good. Which it is

Yup. Been a lot of positive things about the series

 

[wwm0nkey]

Well when yesterday's numbers go live it might have sold a bit more than 10k more

 

[NandoGip]

Count me one.

 

[WarRock]

So glad for ASW.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Good stuff.

I hope they have a heavy day experiencing one of the most stylistic fighting game series ever.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Stoked for AS! There more people playing different fighting games the better

 

[ElFly]

guilty as charged, haven't played this seriously since....the ps1?

 

[wwm0nkey]

Looks like the boost yesterday wasn't as big, but 2k more copies it's still a lot for Guilty Gear so I'm happy

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Yup, bought -Revelator- + Rev2 even though I felt like -Sign- was a bit lacking just to get that gameplay in my system again. Guess now I've bought every ASW fighter except for Centralfiction! Even had the HnK/FotNS back in the day.
