Can someone please explain when it says something like "236H" and so forth?
Keyboard notation.

789
456
123

P = Punch, K = Kick, S = Slash, HS (or H) = Heavy Slash, D = Dust

Examples:

Sol
Gun Flame = 236P
Volcanic Viper = 623S or HS

Ky
Greed Sever = 214K
Stun Dipper = 236K

So it there some kind of video that would bring me up to speed with the overall Guilty Gear story?

They have xrd story on arc system's YouTube page

Xrd kind of assumes you know the backstory from the other games, though.

Not sure how much of it is still on Youtube, but if you feel like breaking out your reading glasses, Kitsoru took the time to map out where to track down the essential plot points: http://kitsoru.tumblr.com/post/58699292125/required-reading-for-ggs-main-plot-in
 
What do you think it is?

I really don't know, at first I thought it was going to be free DLC or a free artbook or soundtrack but with the release so close and no announcement, maybe is going to be a national tournament with money prizes?.
 
I actually think he was referring to the free dlc characters for NA (Kum and Raven) since they're not free in other regions unless you pre order or get a special edition.

Maybe you are right, in any case Raven is not a DLC character, you can unlock him for free (in-game money). We will see.

More quotes:
Absolutely not. Axing the LE was not an easy decision, but doing so makes it fair to people who preorder on PSN.
We didn't want to double charge people for the game i.e. buy digital, get charged AGAIN for a physical copy and LE trinkets.
True, but we're aiming to get something out that'll really do justice to GG fans.
It's gonna be worth it. Just...be patient.
Nah, think bigger. :D
Tons o' gold!
While no GGR LE here in NA is sad, there is a method to our madness. We're working on something that will do justice to the series and fans.
It is, and then some! Fear not, I think fans will be pleased when this it's all said and done.
And the same one you quoted:
FREE DLC is not the tradeoff for not having a N. America LE. So rest easy and just...trust us.

? Isn't it clear ?

They're not gonna offer anything to you.

Why would they ? People that buy LE spend MORE money.

They will simply bring over some artbook that you can buy or something.

Something that's only sold in japan, I assume.

I'm not expecting anything free. I was thinking it would be something like an artbook or basically a LE without the game which I'd be happy to buy.

Some of the lack of translation is a little worrisome. So far, all of the titles for your player card are still in Japanese.
 
Hmm maybe they will open their online store/ put up GG visual book + the ZTD book that they said they would release etc.

Also NA copies are available in some stores in asia. Im gonna try and get mine around release.

Pretty sure Shin is a front man.

Looks like you're wrong!

Maybe a day 1 patch for NA version will fix it?

Re-posting this here:

Someone from our Xrd group found an interesting Xrd R tech:

Seems like it was in SIGN too, just no one knew about it:

That and it's really, really broken!

You get the Dead Angle's invincibility but without the animation coming out or the meter cost, and you get to keep the invincibility if you FD!

I guess the trigger is getting crossed up during a YRC while you DA.

Heh, have you tried doing it with I-No?

That's what I would expect yeah

Wonder if they'll add the rest of the chapters on day 1 too

What's the earliest I can reasonably expect this to go on sale?
It's really hard to tell, Xrd SIGN was in a PSN Aksys games sale like two or three months after launch, but went back to the original price afterward if I remember currently. Safest bet is maybe around EVO or during holidays sales. For a physical version, good luck finding a copy few weeks after launch, let alone one at discounted price if Aksys undership the same way they did with SIGN.

Oh, thought it was. Read the OP and the back story sounds pretty cool, the visuals look unreal.

Didn't know this wasn't out yet though, could have sworn it came out a while ago.

This is the equivalent of Super Street Fighter IV to the Vanilla one. The first version of Xrd, Sign came out last year (and has a pretty good PC port if you're interested, should be on the steam summer slae).

Why is Aksys making this so hard to order the physical edition. Neither Amazon or BB have release day shipping for me. In fact, BB doesn't even offering shipping for the game right now.

Need to push those digital sales. Yeah it's annoying, it's saturday and still no delivery information from amazon.
