Title: Guilty Gear X2 Slash
Post by: ROMate on October 03, 2005, 08:43:59 am: The latest installment of the Guilty Gear series is already out in Japan. The players are playing, testing and beating the crap out of it to restructure tiers, find new strategies, and do more damaging combos. Every character has one new special move and various other gameplay changes to master, and two new characters are added: A.B.A. from Isuka, and a version of Sol in his Holy Order uniform who has his own move list and game mechanic.

For now, here's information on all the changes in Slash: http://romancancel.com/content.php?article.92.0

Match videos featuring Johnny, Potemkin, Ky, Chipp, Venom, Faust, I-no, Anji, A.B.A., Sol, and Order-Sol can be found at www.combovideos.com. You have to register to download the videos, but registration is free and painless, so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Post by: ROMate on October 03, 2005, 08:58:14 pm: Yeah. Until an American release date is confirmed, it's putting a hold on my sticky thread. I'm going to have to add the new specials to Potemkin, Ky, and Anji's sections, then probably re-write all their strategies, nix combos, add new ones...and just generally mess it up. Plus it puts a hold on writing new sections, since old data and tactics are getting thrown out. For instance, in Sol's section I can't really mention Dust Loops anymore, because it's gone entirely from Slash.

Post by: ROMate on October 04, 2005, 03:42:57 pm: I suppose they might, depending on what console Slash is released for. Hopefully it'll be out on PS2, that way it'll get the most exposure. I'd hate if it was gonna be out on PS3 or one of the other new generation consoles. Hafta buy a whole new system just to play it...that'd suck.

Yeah, I mean I'd be out of the gaming cycle for a long loop if it went to 360 or PS3, as I am waiting out till I can afford one of those home loans |=/

Post by: ROMate on October 05, 2005, 12:22:59 am: I'm just plain ol' poor. I don't make enough money on my part-time job to justify ever buying a new game system, unless I eat nothing but 60 cent cans of Chef Boyardee for about two months.

EDIT: While I'm sitting here thinking about it, everyone go to www.shadowhaxor.net, register, go to downloads, pick music, and find the Guilty Gear X2: Sound Alive soundtrack. So awesome.
