I didn't have much faith in the GG series at all. I never got into it...........until I bought this game!

I'm still getting used to playing as my favorite GG character,I-No. She's hard to use,but fun! Her Instant Kill has no range though. But it's really fun to watch!

I'm going through story mode now. It's pretty fun. And the music is somewhat better. The stages are also better. I like Axl's stage with the people. Made it really cool. And Phantom City and Verdant are lush and colorful. As well as Dizzy's old stage.

Heh,I never knew May was Japanese. *LOL*

Zappa is so freaky to watch in action. I gotta say,he's freaky. Poor dude. His Instant Kill is one of the freakiest ever! I don't get what the eye and the willow tree are for,though.

But I like the game. Another great addition to my PS2 collection.

BTW,I also bought Sonic Advance 2. Another great game! Sonic is da bomb!

The music? It's great. No shitty techno or bad synth here.

I-no is entirely combo oriented; she's really not that hard to use, considering the damage she can dish out.

Ha ha, another I-no fan! She's my current favorite, too. You've got to love her one-hit kill. I wish her guitar would go *jungjungjungjungjung* though.

I didn't have any clue May was supposedly "a Japanese," either.

I love using Zappa too, but I keep feeling sorry for him while I play with him... it's kind of funny. As for his one-hit kill, maybe this will help:Link Here

I've gained a new respect for Axl. He's deals good damgage and his IK has range.

No,I still don't like Bridget. (no offense x977 ^_^ )A disturbing character,even my friends thought so. They shouldn't have turned it into a boy.

Venom I never really got into using. But a cool design.

Ishamel's right. I like Baiken a lot!

Undead Fred: I'm starting to like Zappa. I wanna try doing a fanart on him one day.

I agree, i dont recall the music being shitty in X, how is it "somewhat" better in XX? the GG series has some of the best music. Matter of taste i suppose.

Be sure not to get the urge to take the disk and launch it accross the room like a frisbee because some of the missions will make you get a codebreaker.

As for sonic,those special stage "tokens" that you have to collect to get the emeralds are a pain to find. You have to find all 7 and clear the act. I'd rather have the old sonic 3 and knuckles way: find the giant rings and off to the special stage you go!

Either way you're gonna have tons of fun playing both games!

Well for one, they have a real dummer in GGXX as apposed to the drum machine they used in GGX. Moreover, many of the tacks are a good deal more elaberate in GGXX than their GGX counterparts (Suck a Sage, and Keep Yourself Alive 2 come to mind). In addition to that, the use of syth has been reduced even further than what was used in GGX.

Whether any of the above is an improvement or not depends on personal taste though. I don't think anyone would argue against the addition of a real drumer, but I personally feel that the tracks in GGX that heavily relied on synth came out worse in GGXX. Some examples would be....

-Holy Orders (Be Just or be Dead)
-Blue Water, Blue Sky
-The Original
-Momentary Life

I feel that the GGXX soundtrack, as whole, is better though, and I really like a lot of the new tracks (with the exception of "Nothing Out of the Ordinary", which sucks). This is just my opinion though.

Yeah,I like the Sonic and Knuckles way better. I don't care to find the emeralds right now at the moment. I'm just trying to clear stages.

Man,damn this artist's block,I must do some Sonic fanart and Guilty Gear fanart. Damn lack of inspiration. ><

No, it's not. I have no clue why Gamecombos/whoever changed it to that, but it's Kowai Yo, which is what he screams at the end of the attack as well. Fun to use, no matter what the name.

And the Bridget dislike surprises me. A lot of people seem to be obsessed with him (myself included, eep). Then again everyone thinks he's a girl at first. That could be more why they like him.

My favorites are still Jam, Millia and Zappa. And if I could play them correctly, Bridget and I-no.

You'd best visit. It's finally back!

too freakin' true! Blue Water, Blue Sky and Momentary Life IMO have both "worsened." i like both versions, but the originals are definitely better for me. another i can think of is Bloodstained Lineage. but in that case, i think they just made the song "too intense" (i didn't think doing such a thing was a bad thing until i heard that mix of it)

i do like that "one instrument" (not sure what it's called. maybe someone can help me out) that they use in the beginning of the Momentary Life mix a lot. one day (months and maybe years from now so don't hold your breath. actually, i'm sure someone will beat me to it), i'm gonna try to mix Momentary Life with its remix. that'll be fun

Though I would normally dislike such a character, I get repeatedly impressed by his situation which could actually happen in some cultures.

And none of us should be surprised anymore to discover a character as "japanese".

It's kind of funny... the GGXX and GGX versions of Bloodstained Lineage are different enough to the point where I actually consider them to be two different songs.

I believe it's a shamisen, but I could be getting it confussed with a biwa since both are lute style insturments.

Sounds like a koto, to me. The shamisen is more " twangy " , isn't it?

Sadly I don't know... The only way I can recognize any of those three instruments reliably is by their physical form. I don't know them well enough to be able to tell them apart based entirely on synth sound. For one reason or another, the shamisen just feels right to me though.

Sorry there, that's the move namelist my buddies and I gave Slayer, what with him looking - and acting - so stereotypically British and all. Never mind the fact he's really from Transylvania and all, eh what?

Also, there're 50 possible lines that can be read out for each line of haiku in his Ik, in summation giving him a grand total of a whole damn lot of haikus.
