Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-

[FirstBlood]

I kind of hate the bulky redesigns but the fake 2D is spectacular.

And yeah it's kind if hilarious how Sol's sword is now just a huge sharp lighter

[Thief Silver]

I won't care about this unless we get in a reasonable amount of time.

[ChaoofNee]

Hey, at least you have BlazBlue in the meantime.

...actually that makes me kinda agree with you.

[Mzo]

Looks amazing. Why does Street Fighter look like shit?

[Anthony]

It looks really great. Even the chase animation in game was relatively fast, so I doubt it will be THAT annoying, and as it required some sort of odd launcher, I doubt we will see that much of it (remember dusts have a very odd animation, you just don't hit dusts much). I have a bit of issue with how the gravity seems to be working, but I could play around it.

My only worry is they don't give us the SF4/UMvC3 treatment. Guilty gear was the most technical 2d game by a mile, I hope we don't get a light version of that.

I didn't even notice the strike thumbwheel the first time. Amazing.

[ElCapichan]

I'll probably pass on the game, but if the soundtrack is good, and not more like the song in the trailer, I will get that.

[Anthony]

I am really excited about this.

You should be concerned, as the public comments I've seen from ArcSys about a new GG all point to streamlining and simplifying the game. For example, I remember seeing something about them not including FRCs in the next version of GG. Which may not necessarily be bad in and of itself, but let's hope they do a better job than Capcom did.

The game mechanic is more important than the difficulty. I am one of the few that actually enjoyed having a bit of difficulty, but I could see 1-2 frame window for frc's, then a 3-4 frame window after that costs like 35% instead? Something like that would make it playable with a decent reward to becoming more precise.

I'm sure there will be some simplification, but capcom actually did a terrible job. Because they took out everything else, all the execution just went towards very bizzare option selects, which isn't particularly exciting.
