Guilty Gear

Sol wasn't really what I'd say brute force until they gave him gorilla normals and specials (Fafnir plz)

And yea, I've been really fascinated by high level Johnny play, to the point where I might pick him up once Revelator drops. (I recommend watching Karinchu in terms of Johnny players atm.)

@SaintDeltora: Starting from Reload, GG's survival modes go on up to level 999. Once you beat all of the Black EX Daredevils, the Black EX characters become the normally fought mooks and the Daredevils become Gold characters instead. At level 999, you take on a ridiculously buffed version of an already OP Gold character, which is either Sol or Order-Sol, depending on which version of the game you're playing. Basically, if HOS is in the game, he's the last boss of survival; otherwise, Sol's the last boss.

i was mainly referring to the lore and whatnot: potempkin isn't exactly speedy gonzalez.

i agree that he is, as a fighter, more complex than just "potempkin smash!" but i was being a bit generic in that post. seeing as it was mentioned somewhere (i think) that he's a pretty good strategist, i'd assume that his play style would in fact reflect that. (please note that i'm broke and haven't quite yet had a chance to give xx accent core plus electric boogaloo and knuckles [i have a vita, and can download that one] quite yet, so i've been watching playthroughs and reading up on the lore like crazy, so a lot of this is just from my observations.

Someone on Nico Nico Douga made a "By ear" recreation of Jack-o's theme.

Probably a skewed demographic but I really hope this ends up happening in Japan.

That is not what's happening in Japan.◊

Its funny, the top 4 is one of the characters I want and two of them are ones I expected.

boo order sol

all the order sol haters were shut up by these results so i gotta pick up the slack

I kid of course, and while it saddens me to see Justice that low, I know that I just have to hold out to see her.

Is this official?

yep

poll's not over though, these are the halfway results

Yea, the poll is gonna run for another 11 days.

At least the rest of the top 4 are made up of people I'd like to play as

just

order sol

agh why japan

Because they care more about how characters play than their lore and design? Idunno. Still, I'm not surprised at all by the top 4 or the bottom 3.

Even just with the whole playstyle thing, I personally always preferred Bridge, Baiken, and Dizzy to anything Order Sol brought to the table.

Who is 11, 13, and 14?

Honestly, I think we could get Order Sol plus whoever is in 2nd or 3rd place if the polls stay the same. I mean, Order Sol would be the easiest character to make, at least comparatively.

Raven(?), Fanny, and Paradigm.

So someone on Dustloop who goes to the arcades said apparently there were a good few thousands of tickets cashed in after the midway point for Dizzy and Bridget, meaning one of those two likely won.

Well it isn't Baiken but I enjoy playing them anyway, I'll take it.

I believe in Order-Sol.

I believe in the The Shield.

I Believe in Wonderland.

I Believe I can fly.

I believe I've killed this joke, but I Regret Nothing.

Official Results◊

Even though I'm not much a fan that they won, because they pretty much was a given anyways, at least #4 didn't win.

(RIP #8-#10 I love those guys so much)

I feel you.

Is it only the top five that will make it in?

You are a hateful person >:

OH well, Dizzy was expected so I'm not really surprised. I'm curious to what they're gonna do with her.

Probably pulling double duty with whatever Ky's plot will be and Japanese colony with May and crew.

Maybe she checks up on Sin too. Hopefully Testament is back.

...Well I was speaking mainly gameplay wise, but thank you?

I imagine if Kliff will have a new chance in 2050, when the majority of Japan will be around his age, hahahahaha.
