So I've been playing this during the week-end and having a blast with the new, non-weaksauce Order Sol. Looks like I've been rewarded after all the pain I went through while sticking with him in Slash. :lol
WTF have they done to Millia though.
Was amazed by the backgrounds, whether they're totally new or just redrawn old ones they look absolutely stunning.

Add SlashBack to the mix (a kind of Parry, only even less forgiveful if you screw up), and welcome to Guilty Gear III Third Strike. :lol

Here are some new stages :

Kickass soundtrack as usual, only two tracks are new actually, the first one being the new intro theme. The other one is a special Order Sol vs Ky theme, that you can get here :

Keep the Flag Flying


Anybody else intending to pick this up or already did ?
 
Forgot all about this. =x I'm swamped atm anyways. I do want to pick this and Narultimate Accel up in the future though. News of more SNK fighters coming stateside make my wallet hurt too.

End of July IIRC.

Also yeah that announcer sounds retarded. All characters have been redubbed, I thought the old set of voices was still in as well but apparently not.
 
Oh shit. The HOS vs Ky theme is hotness. I just hope Daisuke gets around to a new soundtrack for the next game. The old themes have been done to death.

I don't see any reviews for this game. :[

Is it better than Asuka?

Well as of now it's Japan only. And let's never mention Isuka again. Completely different beast from the mainline series.

So I'm guessing no PAL or PC release for this then?

Last installment in the series to get a PAL version was Reload. I think Slash didn't even get a release date for the US as of now, so I wouldn't count on anything for Accent Core.

Odrion : C'mon now, anything's better than Isuka. :lol
 
I'll probably be picking this one up on Wii. The last one I played was #Reload, so seeing all the new additions will be very nice.

+ 2. I'm not a big fan of fighting games (I'm just not good enough at them :P) but Soul Calibur, Smash Bros. and Guily Gear are exceptions.
 
Don't have the classic controller yet so I'm not sure if it is something I want to play a 2d fighter with. I haven't tried GG yet so I want to grab this one.

Isuka got released as well by 505 gamestreet if I recall it right.
Also do they have Sol from the original GG? He was a freaking beast on that game.

Never played original GG, but some people who did say that Order Sol plays a bit like him.
Also Regular Sol has Tyrant Rave Beta as a follow-up to his Force Break (Fafnir), which I believe is the old version of his super.
 
You honestly don't want to play the first Guilty Gear either. The last boss is on a whole nother level of cheap.

He could spam the Viper uppercut move (don't recall the name now) over and over mid-air among other overpowered aspects he was awesomely overpowered.
 
I've always used Sol and when i tried out Holy Order Sol i hated him. They're both similar, but i've played Sol for too many years to switch now.

I'm the opposite, could never play Sol but found Order Sol very different and a perfect fit for me.
I guess I just love charging that meter. :)
 
does the Wii version have anything above the PS2 version? im thinking ill just get it for PS2 and hope that Sony lets me use my VSHG again.
 
The Wii version will probably have a mode like the GC CvSNK 2 EVO where you can pull the moves by just pressing the analog stick. Which btw it's a very bad idea.

Same game.

We don't know at this point but I doubt it.
I wish there were a 360 version for online play. :(

There was rumors that the Wii version will have an extra story and or missions.

I hope so, I wouldn't mind getting it again.

Millia was really badly affected, I just play her anymore.

Old Po was hard to get used to at the beginning, but I'm happy with him now.

Order has been ubered. Damm right, Lv. 3 Bandit Revolver beta FTW!

Justice was just cruel and made unlocking Baiken a bitch.

Yep. July 30. Problem is, I cannot find a US store that will have it.

Can you point me anywhere to where this is confirmed? I know there's something on Gamefly about it, but checking the Aksys Games site has absolutely nothing. Not even a PR.

The fact that the Charge meter builds so fast now, and that it drains instead of being instantly depleted when using a special move is so awesome. His recovery from his Charge is damn fast too, and you can cancel normals into it. :)
I liked the old BlockHead Buster better though, but at least the new one doesn't have that stupid hilt hit.

Have you found the secret Boss Order Sol in arcade mode yet? Atleast two round wins against every character with no continues unlocks him.

Also, beating Arcade with 50% of the characters unlocks GGX mode, 100% GG mode.

Ex characters in survival mode, no gold or shadow character or Kliff or Justice in game that I'm aware of.

Spreading the good word.

BTW, am I only one that thinks Sol looks retarded with his new pose at the end of Grand Viper?
 
Hopefully they move on to GG3 soon. Lets bump up the animation eh Arc Systems? Not asking for SF3 levels here, just something better than what we have now. :)

The animation superb, I've never had a complaint.

GGXXX (technically 4th if you're not counting spin-offs!) should have atleast a few new characters, with the new introductions in AC, I can understand why they didnt complicate matters by adding more characters.
 
They should drop the X series and make a new one, the game has been revised enough Accent Core will probably be the best version. Although that would imply new gameplay new sprites and so on.

Which means no Pride & Glory/Meet Again. Can't even found them in the Sound Test, I believe you didn't have to unlock them in game to listen to them there. Also, you can choose the music independently from the stage, as you could in Slash, and this time there are no holes in the list except from The Midnight Carnival. So it seems those two musics are actually missing. :(
Unless they put them after Keep the Flag Flying. I hope so.

Didn't play Arcade yet with any other character than Order Sol, just did some VS/Training and fooled around in Survival. No Mission Mode this time around.

I saw Boss Order Sol in Slash though. Insane Dragon Install.

Oh, and good news. They finally managed to spell "Character" right.
