Famitsu Leak Reveals a Few Answers, Details on Baiken, and Balance Changes in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2

The recent announcement about Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, an upcoming update to -REVELATOR-, has the fans bristling with anticipation for new story content, rebalancing of the cast, and characters Baiken and Answer. A few details about REV 2 escaped from under the lid as a rewrite of a Famitsu article page surfaced on the internet before the magazine’s next publication.

In line with the Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 announcement, the arcade version is slated for Spring 2017. The console releases aren’t nailed yet, but as we know, PlayStation 3 and Steam will only have digital upgrades, while PS4 users can get a standalone physical copy (but also a digital upgrade). Reportedly, REV 2 will be priced at 2,000 yen to jump from -REVELATOR- (approximately $20).

The Story Mode content is supposed to be fairly extensive, though not quite as long as -REVELATOR-‘s cinematic narrative. There are no brand new modes, but Network Mode will get a performance tune-up. Some characters are slated to receive new moves, like Ramlethal, while Axl and Faust get some reworks to their toolset. There will be more randomness to Faust’s items–his bomb will have a chance to explode into fireworks. Axl’s Haitaka (Sparrowhawk) Stance will be significantly changed. Potemkin’s crouching hurtbox is lowered, and his crouching looks shorter as well.

As for Answer, the Business Ninja, there’s a few details on his gameplay flow. He throws around scrolls and business cards. He then utilizes them for fast pressure, either teleporting to the business cards or launching shadow clones from them. Scrolls allow some special moves. When it comes to the Lone Samurai Baiken, it’s a little harder to grasp her changes–the translation says that overall, she’s much more simplified in comparison to her past versions. The only guard cancel move she has is called Azami, used anytime while blocking on the ground and in the air. It sounds like after using Azami, she may be able to ad-lib and go into her regular special moves.

Keep in mind that this early leak may not be entirely accurate, or completely disproved. While we’re all hungry for details about Guilty Gear, there’s sure to be official information and hopefully footage from Famitsu and the upcoming loketests soon. The loketests start on January 20th.

With Genesis 4 Around the Corner, Last Stock Legends Chronicles the Rivalry Between Armada and Mang0

When it comes to Super Smash Bros Melee, there are few rivalries more legendary than that between Alliance’s Adam “Armada” Lindgren and Cloud 9’s Joseph “Mang0” Marquez–born at Genesis 1, where Armada made his American debut. It was the Swedish Sniper who emerged victorious from that first battle, but there were many more to come, including the Grand Finals at that same tournament, where Mang0, fueled by the crowd, fought his way from behind to take the tournament.

The two have clashed again countless times, but it is Genesis that has arguably defined their rivalry. Grand Finals of Genesis 1, 2 and 3 have been legendary battles between the pair and, for the first time, Last Stock Legends have given us the opportunity to experience the rivalry firsthand.

In this episode we hear the entire rivalry from the men themselves. The whole saga is covered, from the first battles at Genesis 1 to their meeting at Genesis 3, in which Armada broke the 1-1 tie they had found themselves in.

It’s a deeply fascinating look at Melee history that we are living through; Armada and Mang0 are two of the finest players to pick up a pad, and their rivalry is one of the intense and competitive in the history of the game. And with Genesis 4 just a few short days away, what better time could there be to learn why, if we see Mang0 and Armada in Grand Finals once again, it will be one of the most fiercely fought battles you will ever see.
