Guilty Gear XX : Accent Core

[stereomonkey]

It kinda works in A3 with the roster being so big.  But not sure if it's good for all fighting games.

They are all also wildly different chars, unlike tekken or sf.

I can't agree more.




GG series had some of the most inventive and kick ass gimmicks for each character, really pushed the boundaries of character playstyles and differences. Depending on who you played it could seem like a completely different game altogether Ie. Venom >> Potemkin >> Faust >> Bridget >> etc etc etc.  Damn i need to play this game like right now.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.w.w..w.w

I personally like a lot of variation in character play-styles. Its why i use anakaris in MVC2, Fuerte in SF4, and to a lesser extent, Arakune when i bother playing Blazblue. I started picking up GGXX:R, but this was like, a week before BB released, so i might have to throw it in the PS2 again and have a jam.

T-DAT, but still , what people really want is a bigger roster.

Which is very difficult for a new IP. It will get there & they won't be cut & paste either
Anyway a new wardrobe = a new char (like Tekken) is not so easy when doing hand drawn 2d sprites.
SF2 only started with 8 playable chars, but today's youngins expect at least 30.

Yea but remember sf2 was 29 years ago.

Oh yeah and SF4 Arcade ver only has 17 chars. 3 more than BB:CS. And SSF2T had 16, and the others had 12.3s had 20 A3 had like 30. Dont know how much GG has.  Not getting at anything here really.

Thats my point - that it takes some time to build up a large cast.

The 30 char thing was more aimed at all the newbie gits on Gamefaqs & Dustloop who come on going 'omg it only has 12 chars! I can't handle this - what a waste of money, game <insert name here> has 30 blah blah blah'

At least BB's console success (which was far greater than Arc Sys expected) will have gone a long way in getting Sega & Arc Sys to come to some arrangement for GG.

LOL, i'm so awesome at maths. You cant touch me fools.
Tekken 1 had 17 chars (1994), and the rest followed with more chars. Face it , the only game thats had 12 chars IS sf2 lmfao.  

Yup, new games are all good with me, but TBH , i'll be a lil pissed if it has 13 chars in it in like 2012.

[maelgrim]

Yep Tekken had 18, but I think only 11 of them from memory (maybe less) had an original moveset

BB CS will have 14 all of which are completely different, i'm looking forward to that.

Hard to say how many a new GG game might have. GG started with 13.
Is Core Plus the latest ? how many chars does that have ?
