Well, I got Guilty Gear X2. Been playing it for a bit, and I gotta say, boy is it different. It takes all the old conventions of fighting games and mixes em with crack.
Been unsuccessfully trying to beat I - No, the version at the end of arcade mode. It just ain't happenin' yet. Also been trying the Survival mode, where they toss in shadow versions of characters that can seem to endlessly toss out supers.
With all the cancels and various guard breaks and what not in this game, I could be busy with this for quite awhile.
Love the game, Hate using the dual shock with it!
Yeah, I picked it up today too, but haven't had a chance to sit down with it due to a CS program due tomorrow. From what I have played though, I agree that the DS sucks. I wish there was an affordable PS2 arcade stick.

One switch from GGX is that items in the foreground will become transparent when a character moves behind them. This is a nice addition in that you no longer lose track of the action due to too much junk in the foreground obscuring your view. The only drawback is that the foreground and background items can sometimes be the same color making the character stuck in the middle look a bit hazy.
The part I was referring to is when you play Anji, then face Baiken on her stage. At the ends you aren't in back of anything, but you can see the backgrounds through the bottom of his pants, making me think he was a ghost or something.
The Gamefags board covered fighting I - No. So going to try it. Also had an interesting bit about how combos although encouraged and flashy, are not the most effective way to go in the game. That is kinda what I was looking for when I started this thread. I took that info and kinda adjusted my gameplay a little and found it seemed a little easier with Ky. Kinda like doing a few combos, but playing more like the original Samurai Shodown in measuring my strikes ( I loved how the first SS had the measure of your attacks. I thought it made you play more like a samurai and plan your hits, not just swing away like a nut ), I seemed to do more damage that way. Not sure yet.
One thing that is driving me nuts is the the way the computer seems to get when it has that last bits of life left. Could be me, but it seems to go completely crazy, and even an Overdrive won't do in that last 1/366th of life left.
Like I said, there is a whole lot to learn about this game. I don't understand why this game wasn't released in the arcades in the states. With the manic play it does endorse, it seems like a natural for MVSC2 crowd. I think it would have gone over big!

Well, I got GGX2 yesterday. Please note that this is my first real experience playing any Guilty Gear game. I love the music (especially Bridget's theme). As for the game, I think I'm becoming more and more acquainted with the pace of the game (though I'm not 100% acquainted with the PS2 pad yet). The game is entertaining, and it's not very button-masher friendly. It takes actual skill to pull of big combos, but it is also easy in some cases to pull off basic combos. The characters are unique. I've mainly used Ky and Millia, though I think I'll learn Slayer.
Its a good game, probably my 2nd favorite fighting game after the KOF games. I guess it can keep me busy until KOF2k3 comes out.
I'm personally finding the Dual Pad to be a bit of a pain myself. On the Gamefaqs board someone recommended the original PS dual pad, while quite a few use some kind of fighter stick. I personally never invested in any kind of fighter stick for the PS2, just for my DC. I've been having some difficulty doing some of joystick motions accurately --specifically the half circle back & forward inputs, which is basically most overdrive attacks-- I assume I'd do a lot better if I could the exact attacks I wanted when I wanted.
I may look into getting a better stick later on.
