I am sorry, I know it has been more than 3 months since the last update. With the holiday season, my work schedule has been really crazy so I have not had much time to keep things up to date here. Rather than write about all the things that I have definitely missed since the last post, I thought it would be better to talk about some exciting things happening in the future for Guilty Gear!
Sega is running a big tournament called the APM D-1 Fighting Festival. It features four of the games that are featured on their ALL.Net system: Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-, Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax Ignition, Blade Arcus, and Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate. Qualifiers have been happening throughout the last month, and they will continue until the middle of December. The qualifying players can then compete in the finals, which is happening on December 26th and will be streamed on Youtube here. Here is the list of the current qualified players for GG:

For those of you who can read Japanese, esports Runner is a great site that is constantly updated with news from various games. Be sure to follow their Twitter account and check out the Guilty Gear page. You can definitely get news faster from there than anywhere else.
Arc System Works has been releasing a bunch of their games on Steam in the past few months, and Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- got its own release last week! Granted, most people who were interested in GG probably already had it for console, but this is a great option for people without them or for those who prefer PC for gaming.
