Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 interface, story, and price details revealed
Arc System Works and Aksys Games have supplied a fresh batch of interesting tidbits about the upcoming Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, the update to Xrd -REVELATOR-.
First up, we have confirmation of the pricepoint for the digital upgrade option. As we have reported, -REVELATOR- owners can opt to upgrade their console version to REV 2 by paying less; Aksys Games confirmed that $20 USD boosts the version by adding the two new characters–Baiken and Answer–rebalancing the cast, and providing a swath of new content.
@aksysgames Options! REV 2 upgrade will be $20. GG REV is available for less than $20 here- https://t.co/1F7OiSmJU2

The Japanese Arc System Works site now includes a nice outline that gives a detailed look at user interface changes and features.
Story aficionados will be happy to hear that, other than new, individual episodes for characters like Baiken, Answer, Dizzy, Kum Kaehyun, and more, there will be additional story content coming in a later update to REV 2. For those who missed out on earlier story content, a new summary can get them back to speed.
Here’s a teaser of a revamped menu in the game. The online lobby is more green, too!
There’s also welcome improvements to Player and Ranked match modes. Players will be able to do a “FT2” with Ranked players by challenging the opponent to a rematch, and it will be possible to watch a match that was already in progress in Player Mode lobbies.
Yet another option that fans will surely welcome: it will be possible to select the older version of REV 2 (-REVELATOR- in the menu options).
We also have a rundown of gameplay modes in REV 2.
It’s nice to see so much transparency from Arc System Works as to what exactly REV 2 will improve, as fans often question whether putting money into an upgrade is worth it. Stay tuned for more news as we get closer to REV 2’s May 25th release date.

The SRK Rollback: Best of March 17-23, 2017
Welcome to the Rollback: a frame-by-frame look back at our past week’s most notable news–and our favorite SRK articles–from March 10 to March 16, 2017!
Zavian “mushin_Z” Sildra, Editor-in-Chief:
Frame 1:
Bushido Blade, the no-life-bar PSone fighter, is celebrating its 20th anniversary
This little piece of fighting game history is twenty-years-old, and still stands out as innovative. Time to fire up an old PSone console–or pop the disc in a PS2 or PS3–and revisit this unusual title.
Frame 2:
Latest incoming DLC fighter for The King of Fighters XIV–boxing mercenary Vanessa–confirmed
After being leaked a week before, Atlus and SNK verified that Vanessa–first playable back in The King of FIghters 2000–is inbound as DLC for The King of Fighters XIV. Will she be a pick for your team?
In this mini-documentary, EG|Ricki Ortiz opens up to BBC Three to discuss her history as a Street Fighter player, and what it’s like to be a trans woman in the FGC.

Frame 1:

Shoryuken review: Phreakmods’ The Link removable shaft for the Sanwa JLF joystick
As someone who loves traveling, the idea of taking my stick with me has always appealed. Anything to make it easier is great in my book–and this is a fantastic review of one of the FGC’s most popular traveling solutions!
Take a stance! Understanding King’s Jaguar Step, Crouch Dash, and more in Tekken 7: Fated RetributionTekken 7 is among my most anticipated titles of the year, so getting the opportunity to dive in and learn a little more about one of my all-time favorite characters is always a pleasure.
Frame 3:
If anything is delaying Tekken 7’s console release, it’s probably Gigas’s hitboxes
In my heart, I’ve always been something of a heavy boy–and Gigas is every heavy boy’s dream. When you make a character so ridiculously huge though, sometimes you need a bit of time to make sure you’ve got him quite right. And these examples are not only hilarious, but proof of just that.
Extra Frame:
Incoming CFN improvements detailed for Street Fighter V, along with a beta test for PC users
At long last–and on the heels of the details of SFV’s incoming balance patch–Capcom reveals what’s in store to fix up the SFV online experience, including a beta test for PC players to try the changes out. Will it be enough?
