Guilty Gear XRD Revelator Idea's and Speculation!

[Danaiden]

Why is Raven so popular?

It could be because of his backstory. He was a knight in the German Crusades in 12th century, but because he has a genetic defect he is immortal. Every injury he gained healed dramatically fast and he also cannot die of old age. He became bored of his long life multiple times and injured himself dramatically just of boredom. He even wanted to kill himself (the spike in his head) because he saw no purpose in his life until he met That Man.

I think that is a fascinating and sad story of someone who gained the "gift" of immortality and it shows that something which the human race seeks since ages can drive someone into desperation.

 

Or he is so popular just because of his theme song in Overture.

If that was the case, Izuna would've been the most popular character ever.

Oooooo, I see. Rather interesting. What happened to the "original" idea that Raven was Axl of an alternate timeline?

[Danaiden]

That is rather complicated.

Daisuke stated that Axl and Raven are not alternate versions of the same person. However, That Man, and I think also Faust, stated that both are "parallel existence" of each other. I think Axls time shifting rather caused Ravens mutation than that they are different versions. You should visit the Wiki pages of Raven and Axl if you need further, and more detailed, information.

 

If that was the case, Izuna would've been the most popular character ever.

 

Izuna would be also a great addition, but they should add Baiken prior or at least at the same time with him since both share many traits.

However, how can you not withstand this face, which emits pure calmness?

[Destin]

Yeah sure buddy.

 

I used it all the time, since like, XX maybe? Reload at least.  I have sealed many a tournament match with that.

Get ready for GGX Dizzy 

 

--------------------------------------

 

Anyway, i only hope they fix a few DUMB and annoying things like

-May's beach ball keeps moving during od animations

-Elph's greanade timer keeps running during od animations

-yrc/od animations eating your inputs

-if my opponent goes for 5D and i instinctively go for "Great Yamada" on reaction, then the stupid dust animation will somehow bypass the whale.

 

 

 

And regarding new characters... i'm sure it will be Zappa.

 

Good Lord, no

[Blade]

I said this in chat, and I said it in the 'other GGXrd' thread, but I didn't really explain it much.

 

My predictions thus far:

 

Jam Kuradoberi

---she's the most popular character in Japan (or was, based on older info), not to mention she's also "Chinese" like Faust is purported to be (so she will be most likely the character opposite Faust).

 

Dizzy

---besides everyone else "begging for her", here's another (more valid) reason:

 

I have reason to believe info (from a reliable source) that says that in prototype versions of GGXrd, there were unused Winquotes of Jam and Dizzy (either if you defeated them, or they defeated you, I'm not sure which).

 

But these 'unused winquotes' further increase the possibility that these two characters (who have been in production since 2011) will be announced.

 

Furthermore there's evidence to suggest ARCSys is in fact working on Gold/Darkside character color palettes due to ripped disc colors being found unused in GGXrd Sign!

 

Last but not least, aside from these initial predictions...

 

I am also hoping for Justice (with or without OutRage armor) and "Dark Elphelt" to make an appearance later on as possible bosses...

 

If any part of these predictions ring true, I would love to be told!

 

Oh yeah and before I forget here's another tidbit of information:

 

It takes 2 months to work on GGXrd 3D models, and an additional 2 months to work out their 3D animation... so that's 4 months per character, usually one or more individuals work on 1 character... so keep that in mind (Source: GDC Presentation on GGXrd).  I say 4 months, but they also said that the process is "getting faster" as they get used to doing it.

[Poultrygeist]

You can't just say you have a reliable source and not link it.  Literally anyone can do that.

[zdravkelja]

I think Zappa is a lock, judging by that character select screen and by the fact that they said he almost made it in the first game.

[noct76]

What do you guys think the chances of Baiken making it in are? 

[Stellarcircle5]

What do you guys think the chances of Baiken making it in are?

I bet that they will reveal her in story mode at the very least. Seeing as Faust was planning to visit the Japanese colonies at the end of -Sign-. So here's hoping!

[BlackJustin13]

Assuming we're getting two more characters after the mystery character (who's probably Zappa), my bets are on Dizzy and Testament. As much as I like the other characters, those two seem more likely. Maybe Baiken and Anji.

Dizzy,definitely.Testament....maybe,not too sure. Other possibilities to me would be Gabriel,Baiken or Anji. Or perhaps Dark Elphelt from the end of Xrd's story mode

[Blade]

Since there was talk about Gold/Black characters in GGXrd, might as well post this as an idea.

[Meister Zeigler]

I'd love to see Order Sol back in the game.

Nice idea.

Honestly i'd like to have Izuna in the story at the very least.

 

One can dream.

Jam looks kinda like Litchi in this outfit lol

[Blade]

Couple things I'd love to see in GGXrd -Revelator- (or followups):

 

---Isuka Mode (online or offline, use the Taunt Button to turn + do lane changes/lane+cancels).

---3 on 3 Mode (Tag Team or KOF Elimination Style)

---M.O.M. Revisions (Let players earn medals from opponents online if its a MOM room, Red Medals for P1 Blue Medals for P2)

---Boost Mode (like M.O.M. earn medals, beat up thugs and stuff like in GG Judgment, also have 3 players join in at any time online)

[Leonard-Helsing]

To be honest, for Isuka mode I'd rather the manual turning be replaced with a target toggle so you'd automatically turn depending on who you have targeted instead.

 

Also, I'd like to see a GGX Advance style tag battle with tag cancels.

 

And if we're doing a beat 'em up mode, I'd rather it be closer to GG Judgment with free turning (no dedicated button) and special commands altered accordingly to accommodate the free turning.

[Soudabuki]

Bring back the Team Vs. like in +R and KOF 
Also bring back the +R cast in general. But that won't happen for another 2-3 years or so.

That whole "toggle" idea only makes sense if you're playing against maybe one character on one lane (ala Dust Strikers).  In Isuka you often had to deal with 2 characters poking you at once.  That's what back attacks and lane changing and lane attacks were for.  I think you could "Turn" while blocking without any problems though so long as you didn't go neutral.

 

GGX Advanced Tag style was okay but it wasn't great, I'd like something more akin to UMvC3 with assists and such.

 

Judgment still had a jump button though, and it still had input issues as you had to "buffer" inputs to do 214+ moves without turning around, that's why Turn would be better... less input errors.

[Destin]

GG would be horrible with assists, it isn't built around that. Marvel needs assists for most characters to have any sort of mixup.
