Get ready for Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 with Drunkard Shade’s “Guilty Bits: Xrd” series

With the console release of Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 fast approaching, the folks at drunkardshade.com have been putting together text character guides for every single member of the cast, leading up to release. These guides are written by knowledgeable players of each character, and provide links to each fighter’s rocking character Discord for discussions–as well as covering general style and how to approach neutral, offense, defense, okizime, pressure, key normals, and anything else a new player might need to start out. They’ve even included a section on meter usage priorities, since there are a myriad of ways to use your Tension in Xrd, and are also updated to cover new techniques characters have gained, such as Faust’s Jackpot items.

Guides for Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, Potemkin, Axl Low, May, and Faust are currently available, with the remaining cast to be added in the coming days. You can view the announcement video for the series below.

If you’d like to get a head start on your training, you can grab the demo version of REV 2, which includes Training and Episode modes–as well as offline vs. with all available characters–for free (if you’re a PlayStation Plus member) at this link.

Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 releases for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on May 26th outside of Japan, with a Steam release following on June 1st.
