In another move that was somewhat anticipated by many people in the community, Arc System Works has announced a new revision for Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R. It will be Ver 1.10 and will be released in arcades in January. A partial list of the changes is available on the official website, and Nikki from Hitconfirm has a translation available here.

The exact format hasn’t been announced yet, but qualifiers for the tournament will be […]

Anyway, if you’re on PSN and you’d like to play me, my PSN ID is sasugapsyblade and I’m in the West Coast of the US. Hope to have some good matches! A user on Dustloop has created a very useful tool to view […]
