More GGXXAC a-cho -- by Goldenrody on Thursday, April 17 2008
All of the recent a-cho vids have been uploaded to the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core section, enjoy! There have been a couple of new GG DVDs released recently, namely DF2 and G3 5on5, but no one seems to have them.. I'll put them up if anyone ever decides to rip them.
In other news, Super Smash Brothers Brawl is out. My interest in the series since the end of Melee has waned considerably, but I'll see if I can get some videos up sometime. I haven't really gotten a chance to play Brawl a lot. But right now, it really seems like the game is dumbed down. Smash has always been radically different from other fighting games: there are no mixups or crossups since shield guards in every direction, and there's virtually no pressure either. The game is basically all zoning and spacing, and above all, movement and the manipulation of it. One of the things that made Smash Melee so wonderful was the control it gave you over your movement. Wavedashing and L-Cancelling really gave complete control over movement, allowing one to change direction anytime without delay and play a real zoning game. However, some people argue that these techniques gave fast characters a very unfair advantage in Melee, leading to its horribly unbalanced tiers. The removal of these in Brawl means much more slow and clunky gameplay, and the addition of other things like random tripping(what?) and the removal of real edgeguards really seems to make the game less viable as a competitive game. The game is still in its infancy right now though, so there's a good chance that many things will be discovered in the future that will make the game more competitive as a tournament game. Brawl is actually going to be featured as an official game at this year's Evolution, so hopefully things will get better by then.
Launch of Super Smash Brothers Brawl -- by Isospeedrix on Tuesday, March 18 2008 Few days ago, the highly anticipated flagship Wii game Super Smash Bros Brawl (SSBB) has been released into the United States. It's the sequel to smash hit "Super Smash Bros Melee", and introduces a larger character selection.
In North America, Brawl sold over 874,000 units on launch day as well as a total of over 1.4 million units in its first week, making it the fastest selling title in Nintendo of America's history. This represents a worldwide total of 2.8 million copies.
All Melee characters except for Pichu and Dr Mario returned; Mewtwo, Young Link, and Roy are replaced by similar counterparts Lucario, Toon Link, and Ike.
Some characters went through some modifications: Luigi's skillset was changed, many overpowered characters in Melee were nerfed accordingly: Jigglypuff's rest is utterly weak, Peach's down smash is no where near the caliber of before, Fox's reflect does not have the ability to KO quite as easily. Several weaker characters got buffed: Bowser and Pikachu, to name a few. Technicalities such as Wavedashing and L Canceling are completely eliminated. Brawl introduces several new beautiful stages.
The Entire Character list is as follows:
1. Diddy Kong (from Donkey Kong Country), 2. Ike (from Fire Emblem), 3. King Dedede (from Kirby), 4. Lucario (from Pokemon), 5. Lucas (from Mother 3/EarthBound 2), 6. Meta Knight (from Kirby), 7. Olimar, 8. Pit (from Kid Icarus), 9. Pokemon Trainer (controls 3 Pokemon, you switch between Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard to fight), 10. R.O.B. (Robotic Operating Buddy — from Gyromite & Stack-Up), 11. Solid Snake (from Metal Gear Solid), 12. Sonic the Hedgehog, 13. Wario, 14. Wolf (from Star Fox). 15. Bowser (from Mario), 16. Captain Falcon (from F-Zero), 17. Donkey Kong, 18. Falco Lombardi (from Star Fox), 19. Fox McCloud (from Star Fox), 20. Ganondorf (from The Legend of Zelda), 21. Ice Climbers, 22. Jigglypuff (from Pokemon), 23. Kirby, 24. Link (from The Legend of Zelda), 25. Luigi (from Mario), 26. Mario, 27. Marth (from Fire Emblem), 28. Mr. Game & Watch (from classic Game & Watch games), 29. Ness (from EarthBound), 30. Pikachu (from Pokemon), 31. Princess Peach (from Mario), 32. Princess Zelda (and her Sheik transformation after using the down special move), 33. Samus Aran (and Zero Suit Samus), 34. Toon Link (from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker), 35. Yoshi (from Mario).
Send an email with your friend code and I will post it here! We will be writing guides for certain characters, and also feel free to submit your guides to us as well. Shortly we will have videos posted here, so check back!Enjoy!

GG Accent Core vids -- by Goldenrody on Sunday, November 4 2007
It's been a while since the last update. Anyway, lots of videos added today, including all of the recent a-cho videos and the special Gamechariot G3 23 on 23 West vs East Japan tournament, including the numerous exhibition matches from that set.
In other news, the Tougeki DVDs are out now, so rips should be available soon... if not, then I'll make the rips myself and put them up here like last year. This year, Tougeki was broadcast on the web for everyone to see, but not all of the matches were shown(obviously they still have to keep some incentive for people to buy the DVDs). The rip of the GGXXAC broadcast is also up in the videos section, but it's probably better to wait for the better quality(and uninterrupted by Baldy) DVD versions. The webcast version however, does have player interviews and audience reactions during the preliminaries, that won't get shown on the DVD, so I guess that's one reason to get the webcast version?
