First, Slayer. I like his style, specially his behavior during a the fights: Blocks crouched with the pipe smoke, and look at his "downed" sprite... He's just lying there as if he didn't cared!
Also, I love annoying people to death when playing as him. Nothing is as funny as being halfway the match, with your opponent leading by more than half life, and suddenly... Bam! 2/3 of life gone in one combo, round won! Hehehehe, I love this cheap bastard.
Second, Slayer's total opposite: Chipp Zanuff. Frail as a butterfly, but fast and annoying. I hate playing against him ("I'll catch you someday, I swear, damn Chipp!"), but for the same reasons, I love to play as him. Nothing's comparable to land 74357654334 combos of 548698 hits each one against Potemkin, and still losing the round in 4 well landed Poty hits.
And third... Baiken, among others. Kenshin + Moose + Mai = winner. And her gameplay is surely original.

3: I would have to say I-no, if only for the nifty way she's implemented. Eye candy in fighting games tend to be "hero's girlfriend" or "inconsequential lolicon bait," but I-no isn't just strong, she's the final boss, with a super that would be ungodly broken if a human could use it. Also, she shows her titties.
2: The bagman, for somehow managing to be incredibly endearing and cool while being a psychotically perverted serial scalpal rapist. Or something. The bottom line is, perhaps, the Afro bomb; it symbolizes the unquantifiable funkometricalifragilism that is Faust. But...
1: There can be only one, and one is Potemkin. The reason? Watch a Potemkin match. Whereas every other character is engaged in some complicated IAD air-dash break double jump madness, Potemkin does one of two things.
He waits.
He walks forward.
Potemkin is pure intimidation, the most powerful looking non-boss character in fighting games. But he is, in fact, vulnerable. Potemkin is not like the other characters in GG; he is nearly immobile, in fact, he is less mobile than many Street Fighters. A connected attack stops him, unlike, say, Sentinel. He doesn't even have the trump card of a Headcrush.
But Potemkin can win. And he impresses, even without flash. What you'd think were his best traits, his long arms and Hammerfall (aka the mobility substitute) are useful in about one situation each. Potemkin is there to catch mistakes, and kill off of them. His only other chance to win is to make the best of each of his offensive strategies, since they'll only work once.
I saw a match recently - Millia versus Pot. It was about even at the end, with both at about 66%. But Millia had gotten wakeup, which means she had about a 4:1 advantage. She lays her disk, and proceeds with her mixup.
Wakeup Potemkin Buster. About 33%.
Pot presses the issue, with his handy #R Slash. But it allows Millia to rush in, and land one of her air combos to needle reset. About 40%, maybe more. So Millia has wakeup again. She lays her disk and does a beautiful, unrestrained double airdash trick.
Wakeup Heavenly Potemkin Buster. Win.
Two wakeups against the strongest meaty game in GG. Both work about once. Maybe.
But for Potemkin, it's a victory. And I don't know why, but to me, that's everything.

Guess.
I like Potemkin mostly because he's the most original, "big" character, besides maybe Chang, and Gaira but Chang isn't a grappler either, and Potemkin's moves were mostly inspired by Gaira anyway. (Gaira is my Samsho character btw). Potemkin is special because unlike other grapplers, he has a lot of useful "tools", that other characters don't have. The rest of the cast, instead of having ways devised to help them attack, pressure, mixup, or cancel, Potemkin's tools are meant entirely for ESACAPING and COUNTERING everything else the other characters have :) FDB is meant to protect Potemkin from constant projectile runaway attacks. Slide Head is meant to prevent hit-and-runs, keep away, and poking games. Hammerfall is meant for mobility and punishing slow, one-hit moves. Megafist is meant for mobility and protection against low atttacks. Potemkin just has various tools that just make him so fun :)
Chipp is also cool, because he's an ex-druggie ninja who is terrible at both languages he speaks, and is also totally irational and stubborn.
So...how about those...things....

What do you guys think about Guilty Gear Original SOundtracks?
Guilty Gear XX Midnight Carnival OST - Much like the game, you have to listen to the music LOTS of times before you start recognizing the different tracks. After I did, it became my favorite GG OST.
Guilty Gear XX Reload The Korean Version OST - Unlike the above, you can distinguish all the tracks right away. And thanks to them writing all of the Characters name for the songs they pertain too in English, you can go back to the Midnight Carnival OST because it's the same exact order, minus of course Robo-Ky, and Disc 2 on the Korean Version has other tracks. My only problem with it is Disk one completely owns Disk Two while both Midnight Carnival Disks own.
Guilty Gear Isuka OST - It's sounds great, BUT IT'S ONLY ONE DISK! By this time I am spoiled and want either two Disks or a but load more songs! GRRR!
Well, those are the OSTs I have. Thoughts?
Do you have Sound alive?
That was Awesome
Me I only have X but I use Chipp,Biken,Ky and Testament

Jam: she's both sexy and cute, and I like her voice despite being annoying to many, and doesn't need any weapon. She is the kind of character I like: speed based, rushdown, and many options without being broken.
Dizzy: combines loli, goth, wings, moe, and little clothes all in the same character. Her design is very original, and doesn't need to bounce to look sexy.
Millia: she is the kind of badass beauty that is not seen very often. She is also the kind of character I like, except that she is more speed-based than Jam.
Something that I really like about GG is the fact that the girls, despite looking good, do not cross the line of unnecessary fanservice. They still don't beat Chun Li in my book, though ;)

Millia: She was the first GG character I picked. I was able to naturally control her, and doing special moves and combos was easy. She has a unique fighting style, she's fast, beautiful and deathly. Like someone said up there, if I want to kill something...
Sol: I just love his badass attitude, he's not the typical hero of every fighting game, but he is a little overpowered. If I want to kill something else...
Dizzie: I like her design. Unfortunately, at this momment I haven't learned how to use her.
Dammit, I bought my copy of GGX2 even before owning a PS2, and I haven't unlocked the secret characters yet. I should go and play more. Unfortunately, I'm waiting for my SFIII Limited copy...
