One thing I noticed...with this announcement, what the hell is gonna happen to the BB community?  I mean, I know half the people who have played or do play it currently still believe it to be inferior to GG so...yeah...

Awesome, and about time.

So now, XIII, VF5FS, and GGAC+. Busy year, this will be.

I don't think it'll be anywhere close to a total exodus. BB is still a good enough game, but I'm willing to bet a lot of people are waiting for that finalized version (like AC) before ArkSys let's it rest. I hope AC will get people playing both, and maybe even improving from playing one game or another.

Either way, there's gotta be some kind of celebration going on at Dustloop right about now.

Blazblue has a community?  I was under the impression that every so called Blazblue player secretly hated the game and saw it as inferior to Guilty Gear and all the players were saying "Once Guilty Gear Gets online, I'm leaving that Gaysblue shit"

I am so hyped for this.

BB has a decent community but they're very different than the general FGC. I'm sure many players will move back to  but quite a few will stick to BB.

I'm calling Baiken.

I always wanted to ask this. Is guilty gear the hardest fighting to learn? i played BB CT,CS,CS2 and the guys at my Lan center would always say it is a extremely dumbed down version of GG...

[nilcam]

From an execution standpoint, GG is not so hard. I find the challenge in the overall speed of the game and the number of options available to the player.

For 2D fighters it has the label of being the hardest mainly due I believe the mechanics within the game. Like you have your different guards and such. I also believe it to be a much deeper game unlike a few of the "new" ones out. but the game is still crazy fun and enjoyable to watch in tournaments.

GG isn't as hard to learn imo... It's the same as KOF and VF... There's a bit to learn, but looking at it all at once can be overwhelming for some ("09er repellent" for some)... Just take the game in bit by bit, and learn it... It's not too difficult...

Anyway, I'm surprised no one here is on the Testament or scrub Millia bandwagon... I do play Testament, but I like his playstyle, and was using him for awhile, along with Slayer, Axl, and Bridget...

BB is probably the best introduction to GG you could ask for. Plenty of differences, but enough basic similarities to make the transition smoother than coming from games like SF4, or even MVC.

I think most now are really concerned with who they'll be maining. Sol, Venom, Chip, and Ky for me. Last GG I got to play any kind of serious level was GGXXSlash, so it'll be exciting to relearn and take in new stuff in AC.

What are you smoking? And can I have some of it?

You could both be right, as I find GG to be somewhat easy to pick up after a few hours of practice, and some 2D fighter background; I've seen people ST their way through GG a few levels in from practicing 2 hours with Sol. Mastering and pro-playing is where it seems impossible at first.

[Proto Cloud]

Honestly, there's so many systems, subsystems, tricks and etc. that it's anything but an easy game to learn. At least Accent Core is.

Man, FHD, and JJBA are harder to learn imo, and I consider myself an decent player of both... GG isn't hard man... Learning the game's options and stuff might be, but that's it...
