There are variables for damage resistance, juggle resistance (some characters fall faster), jumping ability, and much more, which all factor in the development of big (5-6+ hit) combinations. Beginners can hop right in and gleefully slash away, but at the same time there's plenty of room for the advanced player to flex their muscles, especially when you start min-maxing the different characters' defensive qualities. On the Cheap-O-Meter, it sits somewhere to the left of Samurai Spirits 2, and just a dash to the right of Asuka 120% Burning Fest Limited - it's easier to set up juggle combos than in the Samurai games, albeit not quite so appalling as Asuka's shooter-fan design. Guilty Gear is aggressively combo-happy, juggle-intensive, and friendly to the hammerer of buttons. This is not to say a healthy helping of cheese can't entertain, however.
It's hard to argue that GGX is not a graphical showcase first and foremost - something like Street Fighter III or Mark of the Wolves is well ahead in terms of depth and balance. Gameplay As mentioned in earlier odds and sods of coverage, Guilty Gear lead planner Daisuke Ishiwatari also happens to be the character designer and the voice of cover boy Ky-Kiske. But Guilty Gear, despite some largish holes in its gameplay, is a good enough fighter to keep your mind on the task at hand. Watching Guilty Gear X in motion is enough to induce serious heartache in the sprite supporter - "why," cries the player of Mega Mans and Castlevanias past, "do these evil bastards not make more games that look this good?" Heavy sigh. Capcom, the other major purveyor of two-dimensional action left on the market, still insists on producing progressively nastier low-res characters amid its paradoxically gorgeous Naomi-driven backgrounds, and so Arc System Works gets to stand alone, with the only completely high-res 2D fighter on the market. Depending on how you slice it, it is arguably the prettiest game ever made, considering that 3D graphics have never yet achieved the precision of detail that you can do with well-drawn sprites these days. This is the primary draw of Guilty Gear X.
As several of my very dear friends would put it, "pretty."
