Okay everyone it is the first day of the Guilty Gear location test. From what I can gather everyone has an opening animation which. the example been used so far is May saying high to her ship from a dolphin she is riding. The graphics look great and all I have seen are the pictures. The look reminds of Cyber connects work with the Naruto ninja storm series. The cinematics are up their and it shows up in the game play with the overdrives resembling SF4 ultras at least one move for each character. The exception is that they don’t take as long. The game speed overall is the same as XX. Taunting mid match gives your opponent meter. Also people tried to do instant kills but no dice. Either they removed them or just didn’t put them for the location test. Ishiwatari says that they couldn’t finish the instant kills on time that is why they aren’t in the location test but they will be ready for the games official launch. NO word if they have changed. He was asked about the home console release and give one of those yes and no comments however I think we all know it is coming. The game takes place after Overture and before any can say anything there is no word on whether or not Sin will be in the game or any once else. In terms of characters Ishiwatari said that there where only seven characters because that is who was finished and two because they wanted variety in the test.
Characters Changes
Sol: Sol riot stomp is now a punch and he has a dive kick that hits mid range instead of over head and it explodes on contact. The biggest change is his Dragon install. not only can you activate it in the air (which it happens extremely fast), but it has been changed to look more demon like with him having small wings, horns and a chain around his neck. During dragon install Sol is faster and if you perform Tyrant Rave he sends out a massive fireball that the length of the screen in a combo it does 30% damage and if you use it alone it dose 60%. Fanfar goes far but no word on what happens when it connects. Last note his winning animation changes depending on if you win in while install is activated. The stage in the trailer is his. Sol pbb is a dash move that if the enemy is in the way they get grabbed can only be done in Dragon Install. Sol opening animation has him spiting a ammo casing into the air. Sol opens the fire seal sword and catches the ammo with it. He then swings and kicks up dust as though he was releasing a small explosion.

Sol dragon install
Ky: First his stage is now a garden. He has a new lung if it hits your stung edge will be stronger. He has a new move called the glinder which enhances all his projectiles differently. For a normal stun edge you a fast beam fro a charged stun edge you get turns into a huge sword that that does six hits of damage. If you use glinder with Sacred Edge you get a blast hat covers the screen. You can set up two glinders up but they say it is difficult.
Millia: can now roll forward as well as backward. She also new animation for her hard slash as well as a new super which allows her to plaint roses. NO word on what these roes do yet. Her new super is a buff super that she can set to box the enemy. Two of her moves have new animation but only one of them is slower because of it.
Potemkin: first of his stage is full of mechs which to be honest doesn’t surprise me. He has a new tackle normal and a special where he charges a meter that once full he surrounded by flames. Potemkin also has a lung that can travel full screen . His buster is animation is unchanged but the range is smaller. Can now shoot missiles. Potemkin opening animation has him being dropped in a crate that just reads weapons.
Venom: New air special and his stage is the one wit the chained demon in the background just freshened up. Almost all of his charge moves have smaller charge times. He has a new super where one of his of his balls bounces three times.
May: She can now summon a giant beach ball that is directed by a dolphin used for space control and she can also summon a hop where the she jumps through it and a dolphin follows her. May then rides the dolphin. it is unclear how long this last.
Chipp:His find me is easier to see. Jump cling is easier allowing for smooth teleporting and better air combos. He has a new walk where you can throw shirkens or grab. He also has a super with some nice animation. Teleportation has changed as well both slash buttons go into a grab. His defense is still weak as one of Ky attacks took half of his life.
