Absolutely should, I was playing Darkstalkers chronicles a couple weeks before this but GG Xrd completely made me get legit into fighters again to the point I bought a Hori Stick and been getting practice in with it. It is the game right now that has got me into Fighters again, hardcore, and it is damn worth it!!

Is there any news of when this will be released on psn europe? Ive gone all digital and it still dont seem to be on psn!
wait, wut?
It seems strange with her more wintery-coat in this version imo. Worked better with her old short-sleave coat+gloves. Default and colour 6 for me!
This is reassuring for someone who just bought the color DLC and Leo recently. :lol
Well that was intense. :lol
Same here for me.You guys are making it hard to resist buying this game. Nuu I suck at fighting games
So, is it possible to have a good online experience using a Dual Shock 4 only? Also, there will be other version contaning DLC characters and such?

So with the psn 10% discount timer running out, I'm juggling between this and Destiny, 2 extremely different games lol. I like Bungie but I'm not so sure about Destiny. I'm ok with fighting games too but the last time I've played Guilty Gear was on the dreamcast. It looks extremely good though and fun to play.
Oh man...
Oh man...

Sure there will most likely be another version a year or two down the road. Then another one a year or two down the road. Then another one a year or two down the road.
I don't see how there is any conflict here. You're "not sure about Destiny" and Guilty Gear "looks extremely good and fun to play." Sounds like you want Guilty Gear.
I mean, like ok, you like Bungie. Well, I got bands I l like, but that doesn't mean I buy what ever they shit out their ass.

You can, but the Vita will always have to be the main(account you're using) controller, and you may not want to play a fighter with remote play lag.

That is what keeps me away.
Dunno what it is about GG, but the game just isn't intuitive to me like marvel is. Hoping it clicks eventually, but whenever I'm playing, I feel like I'm just doing random shit and my opponent is doing random shit too, and then eventually somebody gets a knockdown and might win the match because of it.

That is the Achilles heel of fighting game. To learn them you have to spend an inordinante amount of time losing before they click.
Maybe you should find an opponent that is more skilled/less random? You might lose 100% of the matches, but if the guy isn't random, then you'd atleast have a set of cases that you can experiment against and study.
When I fight new players, I'll run the same shit on them over and over and over, till they learn how to force me to stop.
It's hard to articulate, haha. A game like marvel or SF4 makes some degree of sense to me inherently just because it's easy to comprehend the characters and their gameplans (especially having played around with SFII and other fighters in the 90s as a kid- even though I wasn't playing the games 'properly,' playing them at least got the basic concepts of the genre burned into my brain). Like you can see the space/angles Akuma controls with his fireballs or see Doom shoot his finger lasers and plasma beams and understand how he can look to control the screen with those. Marvel may be a nutty anime-ish game, but a lot of it is a nutty exagerated version of 'standard' fighting game stuff, whereas GG feels straight up nutty (as in, I feel like knowledge from other games cannot be applied nearly as much).

As someone who plays just about every fighting game under the sun. I'm going to say you are super wrong.
It's street fighter with air play.

I just wanted to comment on how stupid/hilarious it is that the game gives you the option to use the word "sexy" as part of your title but will censor it anyways which makes it show as "***y"
Come in with no expectations, and make no assumptions. Let Guilty Gear be Guilty Gear. This is what a lot of Third Strike players had trouble with, when transitioning to Street Fighter 4. These were smart and strong players, but they had a mental block keeping them from ever truly being good at SF4. They wanted too much for SF4 to be 3s, and that introduced a lot of frustration that would block their learning process.
Honestly, Guilty Gear feels like a weird fusion of Smash Bros (managing different types of movement; shields) and Vampire Saviour (shortish combos but gargantuan pressure strings, hyper unique fighting styles). It's not a 1:1 mish-mash but it feels very strongly enough like both.
GG feels like it's in this weird place between SF and marvel. SF is traditional and easy to understand. Marvel is nutty, but so nutty that my mind can kinda let go and understand it for what it is. GG is somewhere in the middle, and I can't wrap my head around it. Like anti-airing for example-
SF: anti-airing is scientific and essential.
Marvel: traditional anti-airing doesn't really matter that much. There's bizarro stuff like mashing jabs that you do with certain characters in certain situations, but whatev.
GG: you've gotta anti-air, but it's a goofy rock-paper-scissors match half the time due to air mobility options.

Uh, Anti-Airing in GG is hardly Rock Paper Scissors. It falls in line with exactly what you said with SF.

Is there going to be any costume packs? I kinda want to rock OG Millia. o:
QisTopTier
XisBannedTier
Sadly no, just the standard ArcSys color packs. And no pantless Millia in them unless you are player 2 using the same color and player 1 millia
In SF, where 'scientific' anti-airing kinda breaks down is against characters who can change their jumps arcs (mostly with dive kicks), and in GG, literally every character can change their jump arc. I mean, sometimes somebody has exhausted all their air options, so at that point, anti-airing is easy enough, but what do you do when they haven't? Gotta kinda guess when to anti-air, no?
Yeah- which I'm well aware gives me no excuses for sucking given how good he is, haha.
This post is another reminder of how much it sucks that Millia's OG colors with her Xrd look is one of the best looks in the game currently but is locked away to mirror matches only.
Nah, number one problem new Faust players have is trying to figure out their anti-airs. You're kinda like Claw or Dictator. Your dedicated anti-air (6P) isn't that great, and you need to supplement it with other moves. But afterwards you find out that this sometimes isn't enough. And that's when you figure out that you're better off meeting them in the air. Or better yet, forcing your air game on them / zoning out their jump angles.

How does the PS3 version perform? Offline and Online with cross play?
Sorry, I'm sure this question has been asked many times...
Sorry, I'm sure this question has been asked many times...
60fps 99% of the time. I can count the number of FPS dips I've experienced on one hand. When FPS dips occur, inputs do not seem to get dropped. Though, I have not had enough FPS dips to really know.
For tournaments, we set the in-game graphics mode from quality to processing, to make sure it stays at 60fps. Some players also prefer to play on the tournament stage.
Obv does not look as good as on PS4.
If there was ever a time to get in to Guilty Gear, now is the time. This is a new start for the franchise, and you'll be joined by other new players.

practice and study.
Mimicry is a great start, you get to see what's possible and then you can experiment from there.
And always pay attention in mirror matches, guy I was playing earlier kept getting me with Sin's air heavy so:
1. Need start using it more since it's very darn effective.
2. Find a way to stop it preemptively.
And try to play around with the other characters too and watch other people use them, I love going up against Sol players (my favorite main but for some reason I do better with Sin) just because it's fun knowing what they're about to do 70% of the time.
- Make a US PSN account.
- Get US PSN voucher from amazon or any other online retailer.
Create a US account and then use a site like offgamers to buy US psn credit. Add the credit to the account and switch user to that account on the ps4. Go to the store and download the dlc. Then set the console as your 'home' console in the account menu. Switch back to your EU account and everything should be there. This is what I did.
