Guilty Gear XX

I think you learn better if you play against people who are better than you are as it constantly forces you to up your game. Playing someone on your level helps to a certain degree but if you both of you suck than your not getting anywhere to begin with.

exactly, when i first started playing GGXX#R i routinly got my ass handed to my by Johnny, Venom, Anji, and Dizzy that my friend Kevin played, i also got owned by Baiken, Testament and Ky when my friend Ken played, but i kept playing em, learning new stuff, figuring new stuff out myself, and now i own Ken, and am about even with Kevin... you can always learn from someone better than you, and i dont mean, have them teach you strats n' stuff... hell, i only really know 2 combos with Slayer, but i can set em up in like 48548753 different ways.

I think when playing someone more skilled you have to expect to lose a lot, but dont just get angry at losing, see how you lose, see what he does that always gets you (i know i have a terrible habbit of wanting to use Slayers dash to go through projectiles and always end up eating em Tongue

) i can honestly say that i would never have gotten as good as i have hadnt Kevin beaten the fucking shit outa me.... Mr. Green

Sort of off-topic, but is there a site anywhere with tournament videos of all sorts of fighting games? (specifically GG or Soul Calibur videos)

I've been going for five or six months now, but I'm still nervous. It's something that takes quite a whiles to shake off.

I've managed to snag fourth place in all the tournies for GGXX/#R but top three still evades me.

Except the last big one we had, I got peaced out by an I-No. Stupid music note.

EDIT: ok i have a question, where did Girl Sol originate? what's with her? any significance to the story? just fan art?

For some very good GGXX#R vids. These vids have helped me improved my game a whole lot and are great to learn new characters, in my opinion. It's the only reason why I picked up Dizzy.

#Reload looks fucking fantastic on the Box, a lot cleaner than the PS2 version from last year.

And I got a kick out of Isuka, although the the two-plane system and the spin around buttons did fuck me over good. Couldn't manage to actually win a 2-on-1. Sad

I do like that the arcade only cost 25cents (up here in Canada) for some reason. Guess the arcades are finally waking up, realizing they have to fight back a bit. Mr. Green

Isuka is trash, and playing #R on an xbox controller is retarded

Dissapointing how the Comp version doesn't have online play, I downloaded whole fricking 750mb and only to find that it didn't work (also the install menu was unreadable, so whatever error occurred I couldn't even read it!). Grrrrrrrr I gave up on it since.

lol, it's in japanese dude... and the inital part of installing it takes FOREVER, like 10-20 mins of wait time while it prepares to install, which takes like less than 5 mins. shitty japanese coding. But yea no online play hurts it, but then again, im strictly against the current excecution of online fighting games, because it sucks balls, like huge hairy donkey balls

The biggest problem with playing fighting games online is the lag and until companies can eliminate or significantly reduce the lag I won't bother with it.

Posted: Sat Sep 25, 2004 5:18 am Post subject:

that's what im saying... even the slightest bit of lag can just totally screw you up, especially in something like Guilty Gear

I can only imagine how bad lag can affect your game in GGXX as any lag will throw off your momentum or timing. Just imagine trying to a long combo string only to have lag screw it up and since GGXX is a very flashy game I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of lag to it.

Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2004 3:44 am Post subject:

yea, lag is retarded, but it's not lag spikes like in CvS2, it's like... every move is delayed by a few mili seconds... which totally threw me off.... but that doesnt matter... i learned how to Back Dash Cancel Slayers Taunt today Mr. Green

soon i'll get Mappa and the Bite down too!!!

I can undestand that it would take some time to get use to the lags but I don't think I could ever get use to it. GGXX combos are very precise and you can't afford lag otherwise your combos are completely mistimed. Especially when it comes to FRCing, which is extremely important with Testament's offense, that any amount of lag would completely ruin it.

Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2004 12:38 am Post subject:

yup, i couldnt even do some basic Faust combos, it sucked, but i played a Johnny that FRCed shit, i was amazed...

Is it really necessary for Jhonny to be FRCing so much? I can see the advantages but I'm not really aware of the possibilites that Jhonny has with FRCing. I know there are some combos by FRCing that aerial fire attack of his but after that I'm clueless. I havn't used Jhonny in ages so all my strats are out the window.

I'm using Slayer a lot lately. Getting better at using him but I still get my ass kicked whenever I'm at the arcades.

I counter using Dizzy. Love her trapping combos. Well, she is A bloody trapper. One thing I can't get the hang of is pulling that unblockable super just right off the bat...

Btw, the current top-tier in Japan is Eddie and Slayer, yes?

Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2004 3:50 am Post subject: Re: Guilty Gear XX

I thought Sol was the pimp of the nation

Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2004 4:04 am Post subject: Re: Guilty Gear XX

I use Millia. Though only because I randomly chose her out when I started playing the game, and she just stuck.

Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2004 5:10 am Post subject:

Eddie, Faust, Slayer, Sol.... Millia is in there every so often... tho Sol really stands over all of em... at high lvl atleast... unless we're talking really high lvl Eddie or Slayer, and Faust isnt really all that great unless he's REALLY high lvl

I seriously need help with GGXX's Dizzy Story Mode fight against I-No that you have to win or get ending #1.

Help a poor soul kill that fucking cheap skank bitch.

I nail her non-stop with 9 hits combo that usually take 3 or 4 shots to get rid of any other oponent and once her health bar gets critical she mysteriously manages to bash out my whole forking health bar ( And not to mention how she mysteriously evades the last blast of the Gama Beam 90% of the time. )

You should set the diffuculty setting to the lowest possible setting and then the fight shouldn't be a problem at all. It's a bit time consuming since your hits do less damage than usual but the AI isn't smart enough to wipe you out. I can't remember the conditions of the fight but I'll list some strats and combos for dizzy. If there are restrictions in the fight then some these won't apply.

Basic strats:
-Abuse her double air dash eg. low jump air dash back>air bubble>dash back>Slash if you time it right you can pop the bubble and maybe nail them
-s.K>s.S>s.HS>c.Dust>>FRC Ice Spike>dash c.HS>FRC Ice Spike>repeat the c.HS>FRC Ice Spike as much as you want
-Abuse her various projectiles and use them for rushdown tactics

Haven't played this game in awhile, but I think I'm still pretty good at it. Need to play someone who's good.
