  1. yo, if I see you online in the near future, would you mind a another go at GG2? hopefully, after some strategy research and practice, I can be a better match for you.

  2. yes, actually, the three pages i asked Fenrir werewolf were actually never translated. they are still on his page, and although I don't play GG2 regularly anymore, I'm thinking of challenging him again in that game. so please feel free to tackle the pages in question and translate them if you'd like. let me know if you complete any, it would be most appreciated.

  3. hey man, this is way late in response to what you posted on the GG2 thread, but yeah; please don't take me off your friends list just yet. I've recently been wanting to get into the game again. also, I don't ever see you on the game the few times I'm on xbox live all night in recent weeks. I assumed you dropped the game. the next time I'm on, I'll let you know when I see you on as well. anyway, here's my favorite Sol combo that I never told you about: (L) 4x, x, MC, 4x, x, MC, 4x, x, 2y, MC, x, x, Air Dash, x, x, 2y, MC, 8x. it does about 419 damage if I recall correctly. it eats tension like a mofo, but its the strongest combo in the game that I know of that doesn't involve an overdrive and is inescapable. if the opponent doesn't have tension to burst, they hurt badly. I stole the combo from Flame Master AJ in one of the few master only matches I had with him.

    Why does nobody play Guilty Gear 2: Overture?

    sure, I'm interested in the game's sale results. maybe a little off topic but what do you mean "thesis on Daisuke?" you wrote a paper on him or something?

    are you sure about that? where did you here this? either way, there's actually a community for this game in japan. I don't know the sale figures over here in the US, but the game took quite a while for it to go down in price fully.

    Why does nobody play Guilty Gear 2: Overture?

    I'm not going to drag this out, but I would like to address this. I don't like being regarded as an idiot without the chance to clarify myself. to get it out of the way; yes, me jumping on your post was uncalled for, so sorry about that. I read your post throughly, multiple times. I called you out for accusing the director for shitting on fighting game fans by simple act of not releasing a fighting game; which is what 2 out of your 4 points are composed of, in part anyway he said and did nothing to insult the previous games like you say in your initial post (unless you consider him not creating a fighting game "insulting", in that case, more power to you.) if you want the exact lines I'm refering to, here "The way he said 'it's the game GG was meant to be in the first place' and the way he struck X onwards off the canon, was basically a complete "fuck you" to the actual current GG fanbase." and this line here, specifically the begining of it. "Daisuke's insults and insistance that he have his baby and that his Mary Sue lived on had a huge role in its inability to succeed." hating on the guy primarily because he didn't make a fighting game strikes me as very narrow minded. I'm free to point this out here, so yeah, I stand by that. I was also a big GG fan (though my skills were even more scrubby then they are now) and was intrigued because the game was different from stuff on the market, and that attracts me. take that as you will. as far as saying your stance on the gameplay is opinionated, its because your description of its..."problems" are extremely vague. you essentially just say action-RTS is a strange combination, and end of story. no real elaboration whatsoever. its akin to me saying "well, platforming games and action games don't mix well. some people just want to jump on stuff,while others just want to beat stuff up, so its awkward." clearly, there's not much to say about such a description. but whatever, you didn't like overture and your just saying why, that's cool. no need for in-depth discussion on something you don't care about. hopefully you won't regard this reply as "bullshit" this time around.

    I can ignore the other parts of the post that I removed as they have more to do with opinion more than anything, but the comments left up there are rather daft. the bolded parts in particular. wanting to move the series in a different direction is some sort a blasphemous insult to the fighters? if story bothers you, x is still part of the game's plot, I don't know where you got the Idea that it wasn't. even if he did remove it from the plot , for whatever reason, that's a pretty...shallow reason to accuse him of saying "fuck you GG fans!" I don't see the logic around this perception. besides, I haven't' heard anyone else bitch about daisuke's personal comments on his project being one of the major detractors of its success. so whatever. 4 is irrelevant because it flopped and we have no GG fighter in sight. and they didn't boycott it because "OMG, WE'RE NEVER GETTING A FIGHTER AGAIN! FUCK!" it was more along the lines of "what is this shit, not wasting my money on it". 4 is exactly what I mentioned in my first post on the thread, from the game being difficult, to not being a fighter, and yadda yadda. last comment that's in bold. I guess I already covered that, his comments certainly aren't a reason the game bombed, especially when it wasn't anything insulting to begin with. its his fucking creative license, let him be innovative with it, he even stated he would continue both series if possible, so he never intended to give it the boot. dunno where you get this hostility from. I would comment on the gameplay and characters but I don't really care to at the moment, and its opinionated any who as I stated earlier.

    New Guilty Gear?

    I think the aim should be to retain the strategic depth while implementing a combination of simpler yet still practical execution and good presentation. removing a unique feature like FRC adds nothing to the game, it just makes it worse; easing the execution of some of the moves by adding frame buffers would make the the tactic more accessible while taking nothing away. you can also rely on the fact that a game doesn't have to be played at its utmost highest level of competition in order to be fun. I'm pretty terrible at GG AC but I enjoy it regardless. presenting these tools and strategies to players in a format the they can understand and holds their interest is also key. why most 2d fighters don't each players how to properly play them is beyond me.
  10. I commend you good sir. he mad.

    GG2 uses that game as a template of sorts. I don't think that would ever work, considering the action that occurs on the map ( # of units, their AI and player vs player combat); maybe if the game was a straight up RTS, but that would make it a completely different game altogether. besides, inventory and map control are actually quite easy when you become accustomed to it.

    Why does nobody play Guilty Gear 2: Overture?

    I'm pretty sure you already know the answers panda. the primary reason being that GG2:overture isn't a fighting game. this means a majority of the fan base does not give a shit about the game by default. the other reason being people do not know what the hell it is. The majority most likely think its a hack and slash game like Dynasty Warriors instead of a competitive Action/RTS. the last reason being that those who know what it is don't know how to play the game because it is difficult. the fact that reviewers gave it poor reviews did not help, and for the record, every review on game rankings is horribly unrepresentative of the game. I went through them all. sad, but true. I'm sure the view of the majority of dust loop members think the game is shallow fan service trash due to all the misinformation going on about it. too bad.

    Marvel vs Capcom 3

    I wouldn't be surprised if the developers forgot that character even existed. most likely was never seriously considered to be a part of the roster, and stuff shotos like morrigan out there due to sheer popularity. Jon is one of those guys who will probably never make it into a vs game. Tis the sad fate of us Taliban fans.
  14. to draw his hair, I always have to use another picture for refrence. its really difficult to make his hair not look like garbage. nice drawings by the way, I like the black, sketchy lines, and the western style on the Sol pic.

    [VS] General Discussion

    not that it matters in the slightest, but I actually prefer vampire hunter over savior. it feels more intense to me. does anyone else feel that way, or is vampire savior considered best by consensus? I don't know what people think about the series, I just play it sometimes.
  16. ok, its updated, so I suggest you update the copy you have. also, when you mirror it, try downloading the version without all the crap with gamefaqs stuff on the top. it looks really goofy like that. just click the "download/ view original" and you'll see it without that garbage.

  17. all right. but I need a URL or something to put on the FAQ saying it is allowed to be put on there. when I get that, I'll write it in, and you'll be allowed to mirror it. I really want to get the dialog for the in-game quotes the fighters say during Vs matches. do you still have the few that I handed to you before? I'm considering seriously resuming it and making it a more complete project. but it might have to wait a while.

  18. hey, it's me again. whats up? so I recently reformatted a script I was handed to edit. it's a script for the campaign mode for GG2 overture. I'd figure you'd like to put it up on your site next to your other story related faqs. here's the link. you already have permission to put it up: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/file/guilty_gear_2_campaign_script.txt

  19. yep, pixiv.net is all there is to give credit for. just put in Guilty gear in Japanese characters in the search bar after making an account, and you'll get swamped with art work. the rest is just digging for good stuff for about an hour or two. use a translator such as translate.google.com if you want to type in queries in Japanese. also, there's some REALLY nice pics from WAY earlier in the thread, but that's even more tiresome to look through. I have avoided reposting the things I have gotten in this thread though. shadow draygon, share. SHARE.
  20. Drill looks cool. looks just like it.
  21. I think it was added for atmospheric purposes, because the artist wanted to be artsy fartsy.
  22. I like the artist's work, he just made a mistake, that's all. no big. ok, moving on...
  23. wow, I did not notice the anatomy error with the leg before..... damn you for ruining that pic for me.
  24. double post... so yeah, I spent like...a few hours in pixiv.net and here's some of what I found. I dug up more than this, but I don't think we need to post over 90 images in a single post, so I'll put some more down later.
