Jack-O by Oro
Next was Samitto Chipp vs FG Jack-O, which was streamed in a Chiba arcade. The archive is up on 2djazz’s Youtube channel.
Samitto(Chipp) vs FG(Jack-O) FT7
Everybody knows Samitto, but FG is slightly less well known despite being one of the top Jack-O players. Here are some other matches of him, recorded at Funabashi:

Since this is going to be the first opportunity for people outside Japan to play Revelator, I thought I would include some useful videos for anyone who wants to pick up the new characters. First up, I have finally updated the Notable Japanese Players page for Revelator so it now includes the 3 new characters along with the strong players who have shown up recently. If you are interested in playing Jack-O or Johnny, you are in luck! These two characters are very popular and quite strong, so there is no shortage of videos. mike and Karinchu are the two players who show up the most and it should be very easy to find match videos of them on Youtube. I would also recommend watching the Mikado Tenkaichi Budokai series, which featured several FT10 sets with these two players against the other Mikado top dogs.

For more Jack-O, I would also recommend watching Purepure’s excellent performance in the Sega APM D-1 Fighting Festival event.
Unfortunately people who want to pick up Jam are going to have a harder time. Videos of her are quite rare. I think the best one right now features Jajamaru playing against several players including Isamu Venom. There is also a long set of LOX playing against Samitto. He does poorly at first, but eventually adapts and goes even.

Jack-O and Chaos by Wallace Pires
Last weekend, the Japan e-Sports Championship Finals happened and as further evidence that Guilty Gear is getting bigger every day, it was part of the lineup! Weird to see along the likes of CS:GO and FIFA 16. Anyways, since it was a console tournament, it was on Xrd Sign and not Revelator, but the matches were still fantastic with tons of great players attending. Machaboo was also there playing Ky and Sin!

The console version of GGXrd Revelator is getting ever closer to release! The Japanese consumer Rev page is already up and has several video links including exhibition matches between the two new console characters Raven and Kum Haehyun.

The Arc Revolution Cup Youtube channel has been slowly adding the videos for Arc Revo 2015 from all games! The finals for all 4 games are already up, and pools matches are still getting put up every day. Running Guilty Gear and Blazblue on PS4 really helped here, as all of the match replays were saved so you can even see all of the inputs.
It has been a long time since H.H has streamed a big FT10 exhibition, but he finally did an XrdR one this past weekend between mike and Mugen. You may remember mike as Kaleido Star, the guy who cosplayed as Jack Sparrow in the finals of Tougeki 2007 Guilty Gear. Definitely one of the most well known Jam players, and he is playing her as well as Jack-O in Revelator. He opted to go for Jack-O in this exhibition, and you can watch it below.

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.
