1. INTRODUCTION
What is Guilty Gear Isuka? Isuka is the latest game in the underrated
Guilty Gear 2D fighting game series. The series features impressive
graphics, a range of interesting and sometimes bizarre characters, and
technically deep gameplay. Isuka differs from its predecessors by taking
Guilty Gear to the next level - fighting now occurs on two 'lines'
(a foreground and background, like the old Fatal Fury games), and now
up to four players can fight at a time in combinations such as 2 vs. 2,
2 vs. 1 vs. 1, and total free-for-all.
Aside from some added mechanics to account for the free-for-all and
two-line systems, the game is not that different from its immediate
predecessors, Guilty Gear XX and Guilty Gear XX #Reload. There are no
new characters and no new special moves, just some basic new moves for
each character. Isuka is not a true sequel to GGXX (it's not the still-
awaited-for GGXXX) but it is an interesting diversion in the meantime.
Finally, what is an Isuka? An Isuka is a kind of bird, known in English
as a 'crossbill'. ArcSystem Works picked the name since the image of a bird
represents the GG series "flying to new heights", and the bird's crossed
beak supposedly represents crossed swords. An iffy explanation if best, but
one we'll have to live with.
Sammy Corporation has announced planned console releases of GG Isuka on
the PS2 for both Japan and the United States.

3. BASICS
GAUGE BASICS
Life Gauge
This gauge represents how much life you have left. Naturally, when it reaches
zero, you lose, unless you (or your team) has Souls left. The color of your
lifebar represents your team, so your partner will have the same color lifebar
as you do. When your lifebar reaches zero, and you have no souls left, you
lose the match.
Souls
Souls are represented by the little orbs under each characters names. When
your life reaches zero, if you have a soul left, you lose a soul and your
lifebar instantly fills to max again. Souls are shared between teammembers.
The number of souls a team starts with depends on the configuration of the
match. In a 1 vs. 1, 1 vs. 1 vs. 1, and 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 vs. 1 match, all
players start with 1 soul. In a 2 vs. 1 match, the team of 2 starts with 1
soul and the lone character starts with 2. In a 2 vs. 2 match, both teams
start with 2. Finally, in a 2 vs. 1. vs. 1 match, the team and both
individuals start with 2 souls.
Guard Gauge
This gauge represents how much you have been blocking. It starts off half
filled. As you take damage, the guard gauge decreases; as you block, the
guard gauge increases. If you neither take damage nor block, it slowly
returns to its middle position. The more empty the guard gauge is, the less
damage you take. Thus, the last hit of an 8-hit combo will do substantially
less damage than it would alone, since your guard gauge would be practically
empty. If you continuously block, your guard gauge will fill up so much that
it will start flashing at 3/4 full. At this point any hit you take will
immediately be a counter hit.
Tension Gauge
As you move towards the enemy, inflict damage, or take damage, your tension
gauge gradually fills up. Tension has a number of different uses, including
tension attacks, Fortress Defense, Dead Angle Attacks, Guard Cancel Line
Changes, Roman Cancels, and False Roman Cancels; see below for details.
Tension is not carried over between rounds. The bar changes colors; at less
than 1/4 filled, it is blue, and can only be used for Fortress Defense.
At between 1/4 and 1/2 full, it is green, and can be used for False Roman
Cancels and Guard Cancel Line Changes. Between 1/2 and all full, it is red,
and can be used for Dead Angle Attacks, Roman Cancels, and tension attacks.
Finally, if the bar is completely full, it turns gold. Using tension by any
means besides tension moves makes it harder to regain tension for a short
period of time. Specifically, after performing FD you will gain tension at a
reduced rate of 20% for 1 second. After a Roman Cancel or Dead Angle Attack,
you will gain tension at a reduced rate of 20% for 4 seconds. Finally, if you
get hit with a Negative Penalty you will gain tension at a reduced rate of 20%
for 10 seconds.
Negative Penalty
If you turtle, i.e., you sit back and play ultradefensively, not attacking,
you will get hit with a negative penalty. This reduces your tension gauge
to zilch, and you'll have to fill it up all over again. Also, it becomes
harder to fill it up again for a period of time (only 20% fill rate for
10 seconds!), and you will also get dizzy more easily. So in other words,
try not to turtle.
Burst Gauge
The Burst Gauge was introduced in GGXX. It too fills up as you inflict damage
and take damage during a round, but unlike Tension, it does carry over between
rounds. The Burst Gauge has two uses. Both uses are applied by pressing
S+H and one other attack button. If you use a Burst while you are being
attacked, the Burst will serve as a combo breaker; the opponent will be pushed
away, and you'll be able to counterattack at your leisure. This kind of burst
is blue in color and takes the entire Burst Gauage to perform; if you hit
with the pushback, you will get 1/3 of the Burst Gauge back. If you use a
Burst otherwise, it will be an attack. This kind of burst is yellow in color
and only takes 2/3 of the Burst Gauge. The attack is hard to hit with, but the
bonus is that if you hit with the Burst attack your tension gauge immediately
fills to maximum. In a 2 vs. 1 match only, the 1 player side has the added
advantage of always doing gold bursts.
MOVEMENT BASICS
Double Jump
By pressing an up direction in midair, you can jump to an even higher height.
Some characters had triple jumps in GGX (Chipp, Dizzy, Justice) but only
Chipp has this ability in Isuka.
High Jump
By pressing a down direction and then an up direction in rapid succession,
you will perform a high jump. A shadow will follow the character during
a high jump, and obviously you can reach higher than you could with a normal
jump. You can't mix double jumps and high jumps, though.
Dash
By double tapping forward or back, most characters can dash. This lets you
move around quickly, but be warned: you cannot block while dashing. You can
also dash in midair. If you jump forward and press forward again, this counts
as two forwards, so your character will jump forward and immediately airdash.
Millia and Dizzy can airdash or airbackdash two times in a row, making them
extremely mobile. Potemkin cannot dash forward; Johnny and I-No have altered
forward dashes; Slayer has unique ground dashes.
Turning
Since battles can be hectic and you might be fighting multiple opponents at
once, your character does not turn automatically to face opponents who jump
over you (since other opponents may remain in front of you). Thus, you must
manually turn using the new Furimuki (F) button. Turning is fairly fast, and
you are capable of guarding attacks that come from behind you, but attacking
people behind you is a lot harder, so knowledge of how to use F correctly
is essential. It will take some getting used to and will probably seem
awkward as first, but eventually it'll come naturally.
Line Change
By pressing the Furimuki and Hard Slash buttons together (F+H), your
character will change lines. You can use this to avoid projectiles and
the like. In general, attacks originating from one line cannot hurt
people in the other line, so line changes can be used to escape getting
trapped. However, you are vulnerable when doing Line Changes, so be sure
the area you are jumping to is clear of opponents.
Guard Cancel Line Change
Line Changes can also be performed while guarding, by pressing forward
and Furimuki+Hard Slash (f+F+H). This costs 25% Tension to perform.
Line Changeing while guarding allows you to escape many previous lockdown
and unblockable setups so it is essential; you should always try to have
25% Tension handy for this reason.
ATTACK BASICS
Attack Levels
Attack levels determine how the attack can be blocked. Standing attacks can
be blocked high or low, or in midair with Faultless/Fortress Defense. You
CANNOT block moves from a grounded opponent while you are in midair, normally.
Mid attacks must be blocked standing; they will hit a crouching character.
This includes most midair attacks and dust attacks. Low attacks must be
blocked crouching. This category includes sweeps and some (but not all)
crouching moves.
Basic Attacks
Basic attacks are simply performed by pressing P, K, S, or H. By pressing
these same buttons while crouching, or while in midair, you can perform
different basic attacks. f+P and f+H are also basic attacks; S changes
whether close or far from the opponent. Some characters also have f+K basic
attacks. Bridget does not have an f+H but does have an f+S.
Special Attacks
Special Attacks are what makes each character unique. The commands to perform
them are similarly unique. See the movelist for details.
Tension Attacks
Also known as "Awakening Attacks" or "Overdrives". These attacks require
half of a tension bar to perform. Like Special Attacks, the properties and
inputs vary depending on your character.
Instant Kill
Also known as "One Hit Kill" or "Destroy" moves, these moves were one of
the distinguishing features of the previous GG games, but they are gone in
Isuka. This hurts some characters (like Ky, who could get an IK when his
opponent was dizzied) more than others.
Dust Attacks
Formerly performed by pressing S+H in GGX, in GGXX the Dust Attack was done
simply by pressing the new Dust (S+H) button. Isuka removes the S+H button and
so Dusts must once again be done with S+H. These moves are unique
from character to character, but generally they take long to execute, long
to recover, and don't do much damage. The advantage is that they float
the opponent extremely high if they hit a standing opponent (not a midair
opponent). If the move hits, you can immediately chase after the opponent by
pressing up, and proceed to hit the opponent with your best air combo.
Sweep
Pressing c.S+H will perform a sweep. The sweep must be blocked low, and if it
hits, the opponent will be knocked to the ground.
Air Dust Attack
Pressing S+H in midair will perform a unique air dust attack. The properties
of air dusts vary wildly from character to character.
Back Attack
New to Isuka, Back Attacks allow you to attack opponents behind you without
changing direction by pressing the Kick and Slash buttons together (K+S).
Like f+P attacks, Back Attacks make the upper part of your character
invincible during the beginning of its animation, meaning some characters
can use it as anti-air. All Back Attacks are cancellable and jump cancellable.
Line Change Attack
An outgrowth from the two-line system, Line Change attacks are the only way
for a character to attack an opponent on a different line. Upon pressing
Furimuki and Punch together (F+P), your character will charge towards the
other line while attacking. Line Change attacks have wildly varying
properties; see the table below.
Sol: Cancellable
Ky: Cancellable, JCable, Downs on CH
May: JCable, Staggers
Millia: Cancellable
Eddie: Cancellable, Downs
Potemkin: Cancellable, Downs
Chipp: Cancellable
Faust: None
Baiken: None
Jam: Cancellable, Downs on CH
Johnny: Cancellable
Axl: Cancellable, Staggers on CH
Anji: Cancellable
Venom: Downs
Testament: Cancellable, JCable
Dizzy: Cancellable, JCable, Staggers on CH
Slayer: Staggers
I-No: Cancellable
Zappa: Downs
Bridget: Cancellable, Downs on CH
Line Tobashi Attack
Line Tobashi attacks blow your opponents to the other line if they hit
grounded. Performed by pressing the Furimuki and Slash buttons together
(F+S), Line Tobashi attacks can be cancelled from any normally cancellable
basic move so it's useful in combos. The Line Tobashi itself can be
cancelled and jump cancelled (save for Baiken and Testament, who cannot
JC it); it can also be specially cancelled into the Line Change and
Line Change Attacks. One combo usage is to perform a gatling, chain to
Line Tobashi, then performing a Line Change and doing an air combo on the
opponent in the other line before they hit the ground.
Line Tobashi attacks that hit opponents in midair do not push the opponent
to the other line, but they do float the opponent higher, meaning another
use for the Line Tobashi for some characters is to knock the opponent into
the air (via a sweep for example), then comboing into the Line Tobashi,
jump-cancelling, and performing an air combo.
"Tobashi" means "to force to fly", by the way.
Throw
Throws must be performed extremely close to the opponent, by pressing either
f+H or b+H. They are usually of good damage, and cannot be blocked. Once a
throw is started, there is no way to escape. Getting close enough to perform
the throw, though, is quite a challenge. Dashing in and pressing H doesn't
work because this will just give the f+H basic move; you must either release
f and press f again, or stop your dash and press b+H.
Air Throw
New to GGXX were air throws. They are performed exactly the same as a regular
throw, but obviously, both you and your opponent must be in midair. They also
tend to have better range than ground throws, about twice as far in most
cases.
Basic Cancel
The most basic form of cancelling, is of course, the basic cancel. This
refers to cancelling the recovery time of a basic move (i.e., a move that
most characters have, like standing S, or f+P, or f+H, or jumping K...) into
a special move (such as Faust's qcf+P or Sol's qcb+S). Most basic moves can
be cancelled into special moves with few exceptions.
Jump Cancel
Certain basic moves can have their recovery time cancelled into a jump simply
by pressing up as soon as the move connects. Whether you can perform a JC
depends on the move, so experiment with each character. I have designated
Jump Cancellable moves with a "J" in the movelist for each character. If the
basic move floats, like Dizzy's f+H, then you can use the jump cancel to set
the hapless opponent up for a float combo.
Roman Cancel
By pressing three attack buttons other than F at the same time, you can
perform a roman cancel. This will stop all recovery time of a move and allow
you to move again immediately. However, it takes 50% tension to perform.
Obviously, this is the core to many comboes. Note that you can only perform
a roman cancel if you hit the enemy, regardless of whether they block or not.
Whiffed moves cannot be RCed.
False Roman Cancel
New since GGXX, the false roman cancel is similar to the RC in many aspects.
It is performed the same. However, there are a few differences. Not every
move is eligible for FRC, and the timing is very strict - usually within
1/5th of a second of a certain point during the move. Also, you do not have
to connect with the opponent to perform a FRC. FRCs also take only 25%
tension. Finally, a successful FRC will glow blue instead of red.
Some moves that were not FRCable in GGXX/GGXX#R are now FRCable in Isuka.
Dizzy (no, not the character)
If you hit your opponent with a long combo or with powerful hits in
succession, they may become dizzy. While dizzy, a character cannot perform
any moves, and cannot block. They are basically open to anything. Dizzy
time may be shortened by mashing the buttons and shaking the lever around.
Stagger
New to GGXX is staggering. Some moves stagger the opponent. While staggered,
a character cannot attack or block. Think of staggers as a mini-dizzy.
Like Dizzying, staggering may be nullified by mashing buttons or shaking
the lever. A list of moves that stagger in the game follows.

DEFENSE BASICS
Adjusted Damage
You might have noticed that Chipp take much more damage than Potemkin for
any given move. Even with the same Guard Gauge levels, different characters
will take different amounts of damage for any given attack. The exact
adjustment is given in the chart below.
Slayer 0.96 I-No 1.00 Zappa 1.00
Bridget 1.06 Sol 1.00 Ky 1.03
May 1.06 Millia 1.21 Eddie 1.06
Potemkin 0.87 Chipp 1.30 Faust 1.00
Baiken 1.18 Jam 1.06 Johnny 1.00
Axl 1.06 Anji 1.06 Venom 1.00
Testament 1.00 Dizzy 1.06 Kliff 1.31
Justice 1.06 Robo Ky 0.89
Blocking
Blocking is performed simply by pressing back or d/b. Standing blocks
will guard against anything but low attacks; crouching blocks will
guard against anything but mid. You can also block attacks in midair;
however, you cannot block attacks that come from a grounded opponent
while in midair. You CAN block attacks that come from behind you. In Isuka,
the general rule is that you can block attacks by pressing the lever towards
your back - it does not have to be away from the opponent.
Fortress/Faultless Defense
By pressing two attack buttons while guarding, your character will be
surrounded by a bluish aura. At the same time, your tension meter gradually
decreases. While engaged in FD, you will not take any guard damage. You will
also not accumulate any guard gauge, and your opponent will be knocked
backwards. Also significantly new to Isuka, while engaged in FD attack levels
do not matter - you can block low attacks while standing and mid attacks
while crouching, preventing two opponents from ganging up on you and doing
a simultaneously unblockable attack. Once you run out of tension, you can no
longer perform FD. Another bonus is that you can block attacks from a grounded
opponent while in midair if you utilize FD. Since certain button combinations
are other attacks, FD must be performed by either P+K, P+S, P+H, or K+H.
Air Recovery
If you are knocked into the air, you can press any attack button
besides F to right yourself. After righting yourself, you may attack, but
beware that this also opens you up to attack from the opponent. Also,
certain attacks are not open to recovery. Generally, counter hits make the
time a move is unrecoverable much longer.
Dead Angle Attacks
Dead Angle Attacks serve as universal counter attacks. They are performed
by pressing forward and two attack buttons aside from S+H while blocking.
This takes 50% tension to perform. The Dead Angle Attacks are usually
short range and low on damage, so use them wisely.
Instant Block
If you block an attack at the precise moment it connects, your character
will flash white and you will take no damage. The advantages are that this
reduces guard stun, knocks the enemy back somewhat, and for a period of
time you will gain tension more easily. The knockback and the guard stun
ranges are less than normal guard and FD. The timing is QUITE severe so don't
try for it unless you are sure.
Opposing Hit
If two attacks of approximately the same strength hit each other at the
same time, a flash of lightning hits and neither character will take any
damage. Both characters will cancel the remaining recovery times for their
moves, if any.
OTHER NOTES
Unlike other games, Guilty Gear is not all about combos. Since damage
inflicted during comboes decreases drastically, it may not be in your
best interests to use them. For instance, Faust's qcf, qcf+S tension attack
can do up to 90% LESS damage even as the second hit of a combo.
Especially in the case of Isuka, performing combos while facing multiple
opponents can leave you wide open. In Isuka moreso than previous games,
the emphasis is less on combos and more on positioning and the wise use of
short attack strings.
Your attacks CAN hit allies, but in general any given move can only hit one
opponent at a time. Thus, if you use a long range move (say Johnny's f+H)
and multiple opponents are in the attack range, only the closest character
(even if its your partner) will be hit and the other characters will be
unaffected. Teammates do not take damage if hit (except in the 2 vs. 1
situation, see below), but they will stagger and will be left open to
attack. Moves that do special things upon hitting, like Johnny's coins
powering up his Mist Finer and Zappa's Konnichiwa Sanbiki no Mukade adding
souls, do NOT give these effects when hitting teammates, so for instance
Zappa cannot give himself maximum souls just by hitting a willing teammate.
Some moves can hit multiple opponents. Most tension attacks are able to
hit multiple opponents at once; Faust's door teleports are a rare example
of normal moves that can do the same.
Finally, when a battle starts as 2 vs. 1 only, there are a number of factors
that even the odds that are put into play.
The single player:
-always performs gold bursts
-starts the round with full tension
-does 110% damage
The team of two:
-starts the round with no Burst
-gains Burst gauge at half the normal rate
-teammates WILL take damage if hit by friendly fire (1/4 the normal damage)
-does 90% damage
4. MOVES LIST
This moves list is alphabetical by character name.
Character information was taken from the official Guilty Gear XX website (
http://www.guiltygearx.com/ggx/xx/xx.html), with the exception of voice
actors which are assumed to be the same as in GGXX/GGXX #Reload.
Each move description has the name, command input, damage, attack level, and
whether it is eligible for Roman Cancel (R), False Roman Cancel (F), or Jump
Cancel (J). Also, moves with an X in the cancel column are NOT eligible for
basic Cancel. I chose to do it this way since the vast majority of basic
moves ARE eligible for basic Cancel, and so it's easier to add a few X's to
each list rather than add a whole bunch of C's. Starred move names also have
added notes. Damage fluctuates based on who it is performed against and the
status of the opponent's guard gauge; these damage values are only
approximate.
A full life bar is 420 points. A letter in the damage column indicates a
special attack level; L indicates a move that hits low and M indicates a move
that hits mid; U indicates unblockables.

******************************************************************************
Strengths: Versatile; Fuujin links are all around great; Guard Points give him
good counterattack ability.
Weaknesses: Rather unconventional; needs to be learned independently.
Comments:
Anji's standard butterfly trap is now less useful, thanks to line changes;
however his guard points give him the advantage against multiple enemies, and
his high jump mobility also gives him an edge. You'll have to work to get
close to the opponent, but when you do the results will pay off.

Story: Even at the conclusion of the last tournmanet, Axl couldn't return to
his own time period, and was finally lost again in a different age. And then
one year later, Axl found himself experiencing the same events again (although
from his point of view, this was three years later.) However, he did not gain
nothing from his travels. Hearing about a man with the same time travelling
ability as him... "That Man", Axl wondered if he could learn how to return
to his own time period from him. Recognizing the scent of "That Man" on the
previous tournaments, Axl sets forth again.

Strengths: Great range; has several good reversals; most moves are powerful
and have good stun/dizzy chances.
Weaknesses: Not great at short range; rather slow and long recovery time on
almost all moves.
Comments:
Axl isn't great at short range, so in Isuka he'll want to avoid getting into
the thick of things; he should use his long-range attacks and unblockable
to good effect to assist teammates, or at least chip away at his opponents.

Strengths: Large variety of guard cancels that can disable opponent.
Weaknesses: Not very versatile if not guarding; range fairly limited.
Comments:
Baiken's guard cancel ability (and associated moves with long invincibility
times) help her get out of tough spots if confronted by multiple opponents
at once; however, don't rely on it. Baiken must get in-close to be effective,
so just running away won't help things. Try to separate your opponents and
go after one at a time.

Comments:
Bridget's Rolling Idou gives him the ability to change course in mid-air -
a lot more important than it sounds, given the importance of positioning
and escaping from bad locations in this game. His tension attacks are as
powerful as ever, and he makes a great teammate for almost any character.

Comments:
While long air combos are generally not as important in Isuka, Chipp can be
an exception since his triple jump ability lets him continue air combos out
of the reach of opponents who can bother him. Still, his defense is as weak
as ever, so if he gets trapped in the fray he'll die very quickly.

Strengths: Variety of projectiles; most special moves have NO recovery
time; can double air-dash.
Weaknesses: Gains tension very slowly; defensive abilities below average.
Comments:
Diz's high mobility with double air dash combined with a multitude of
projectiles makes her perfect for escaping tough situations and assisting
teammates from the outside. Her defense is still rather poor so you'll want
to spend a lot of time in positioning and less time defending.

Dranka Shade FRCable.

Can no longer guard while flying (must use FD to cancel).
Shadow disappears upon changing lines.
******************************************************************************
Strengths: Can attack without risking self; can fly and/or stay underground
to avoid many moves.
Weaknesses: Gains tension slowly; limited combo potential.
Comments:
His flying and ability to stay in the ground is as useful as ever, and his
ability to attack without risking himself is nearly unmatched. With the two-
line system, his ability to put the opponent in unblockable setups is
diminished considerably, but only Eddie players are going to complain about
that.

******************************************************************************
Strengths: Great range, many good linking moves, many powerful moves.
Weaknesses: Highly unpredictable, on the slow side.
Comments:
His long reach and unpredictability make him well-suited for chaotic battles;
add to that his ability to teleport, and the additionally useful fact that
his doors can hit multiple opponents at once (rare for normal moves), and you
can see that Faust has the potential to be a rather good character.

Number of coins you begin with now dependent on how many opponents you face.
******************************************************************************
Strengths: Powerful; gains tension quickly; good range.
Weaknesses: Not versatile at all.
Comments:
His unique dash gives him some mobility problems, so you'll have to learn
to use his Divine Blade and air dashes to work around this problem. Once
charged to Level 2, his Mist Finer can hit multiple opponents at once, so
crowd control is less of a problem than it might seem.

Story: From the message of Justice at the last tournament, he learned that
his own definition of justice was limited to humans. His own philosophy of
"Gear = Evil" he could neither throw away nor keep completely, and began
looking for the truth. Then, he heard about a Gear which had no intention
of hurting humans. Now, in order to search for his own "justice", he takes
the Fuuraiken in hand once again. After meeting Dizzy, his answer is...

Her ability to place dolphin-summoning rings anywhere on the screen makes
her space-control ability rather good. Her range is as crappy as ever,

she learned that he had fallen to the shadows he himself summoned.

hunters. However, before he made contact that Gear had already found her own
place. Potemkin imitated Gabriel's stoicism on the matter.

Comments:
His lack of mobility is a huge liability in this game; it'll take a long
time to get used to using him effectively. However, his backdash with its
long built-in invincibility gives him the ability to do tricky things like
purposefully turn his back towards an opponent, backdashing into them, then
Potemkin Buster'ing them for great results.

Strengths: Good variety, gains tension fairly quickly.
Weaknesses: Poor recovery if he misses; instant kill hard to use.
Comments:
Still basic, still overpowering and still boring, IMHO. Still, he's very easy
to learn and to use, so there's no doubt you'll be facing many a Sol as you
play this game. His Dust Loop has been compromised greatly, but the power
of his other moves still makes him quite a contender.

*1 P version is a horizontal skull; K version is higher in the air. If skull
hits, it also adds marking to the opponent. Marking stays on until
Testament is hit. While marking is active, Succubus will attack the
opponent in one of three ways. In crow form, she can thrust forward for
40 or shower the enemies with feathers for 5x3. She may also transform
into her regular form and hit the opponent with her scythe for 50.
*2 Unlike GGX, Exe Beast will only appear from behind the opponent now.
*3 Counterattack stance. Poisons the enemy for 9 seconds or until Testament
is hit.
*4 Creates a plant mine-type weapon. If Testament is hit, the mine disappears.
Activates when opponent gets close, but is slow enough that a quick
opponent can avoid it.
*5 Adds poison to opponent, similar to Warrant.
*6 If it hits, three marks appear above Testament's tension bar. The next
time HITOMI is performed, a mark disappears. In exchange, HITOMI executes
much faster and poisons the opponent, similar to Warrant.

Strengths: Good variety of attacks; Grave Digger and Warrant gain lots of
tension.
Weaknesses: Gains tension slowly otherwise; Tension moves on the weak side.
Comments:
His abliity to control space with his trap moves makes him quite annoying
to fight against, but his lack of defensive ability makes him a goner should
he get stuck in the middle of the fray. Wise positioning is once again the
key.

*1 May be charged up. Charging produces more hits, but the damage per hit
decreases to 22 for S and 25 for H. Max charge is 6 hits.
*2 Creates a ball in midair. Multiple balls may be created at the same time.
The pattern created by the balls depends on the button used. When a ball
is hit by a striking attack from Venom, it takes the damage properties of
that attack and travels forward. If it hits another ball, ricochets occur;
if it hits the opponent, the damage inflicted is the same as the attack
used to move the ball. Only air version is FRCable.
*3 Opponent cannot air recover, and this move can also be used to hit
balls created by Ball Seisei.
*4 Venom teleports into the air directly above the nearest billiard ball.
If no balls are present on the field, Venom merely teleports to directly
above himself.
FRC Timing
Stinger Aim: For S version, 4-frame window 4 frames after cue stick hits ball.

Strengths: Is effective at both close and far range; good combo possibility.
Weaknesses: Gains tension a little slowly; some moves predictable.
Comments:
He's rather hard to use alone, thanks to the vulnerability of most of his
moves, but by contrast he's great in team play. If you can manage to stay
away from the opponents and constantly chip away at them with his projectile
strength, you'll find it easier to win with Venom.

Important Things: Good Health charm
Dislikes: Anything scary</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
Voice Actor: Ueda Yuuji
Story: Through bad luck, Zappa became possessed by S-ko. S-ko used Zappa's
body and began observing the actions of humans. During this time Zappa would
often lose consciousness and awake with wounds. Fearing that he suffered
from some unknown illness, he worried constantly. Then, he learned of a
famous doctor who could heal any disease, "Faust". However, he learned that
Faust did not stay in one place. Some even said that Faust had died. Zappa
set out to pursue the disappearing traces of the doctor...
Note: S-ko is an homage/reference to Sadako, a character from the Japanese
horror film/novel trilogy "Ring" (1998). Zappa's Instant Kill is also a
reference to Ring. An American remake of Ring has also now been released.
**Zappa's moves are dependent on what Mukade is currently supporting him.
Getting hit will banish whatever is supporting him. However, getting hit
while no Mukade is supporting him may cause a random Mukade to support him.

mukade at random. If Zappa has 5 or more souls around him, this move
will also do damage to near opponents. If Zappa has 8 or more souls around
him, he will summon the Raou mukade instead. Raou will support Zappa for
16 seconds, at the end of which it disappears, as well as any souls around
Zappa.

He's still good and still confusing. You'll have to spend quite a lot of

reckoned with.
5. SOUNDTRACK
One of the best features of the Guilty Gear games is the soundtrack, a
punk rock/heavy metal type that sticks in your mind and refuses to leave.
I mean, as groundbreaking and as fun as Street Fighter II was, its music
wasn't that great, and only hardcore fans can remember how it goes.
Isuka takes a different tack from previous games - each character no longer
has an individual theme (since you may face multiple opponents at once);
rather themes seemed to be based mostly on which stage you're on.
The soundtrack will go on sale April 21st, by Scitron Discs (KDSD-00036);
it comes on one disk.

6. TRANSLATIONS
Here I will provide translations from Japanese into English of various
aspects of the game. In-game quotes are translated a bit more loosely than
the move names in an effort to make them sound natural. Also, I didn't bother
to translate quotes that are just moans/groans/yells/whatever.
I'm a half native-speaker of Japanese so I am reasonably sure of these
translations, but if you have a different opinion, feel free to contact me.

There is no 'regular' arcade move in Isuka. Rather, if you are fighting by
yourself (or two people are fighting in a team) against the computer, matches
are now Survival Mode style, nearly identical to the Survival Modes of
previous console Guilty Gear games. By performing long combos or damaging
attacks on opponents, you'll eventually gain Survival Levels.
By reaching Survival Level 100, you'll face the nominal boss of Guilty Gear
Isuka, Leopaldon. Leopaldon is huge and he effectively covers both lines.
That is, he exists on both lines at once; he can't change lines, and you can
hit him no matter which line you're on. Though large, his only vulnerable
point is his head; attacks to other parts of his body are auto-guarded, and
they won't even interrupt his attacks, of which he has many powerful ones.
Killer Note is a giant globular projectile which comes in two types - a type
that moves forward and hits many times, or a type that splits into two and
hits one apiece. It does a lot of chip damage so you'll want to FD it if
possible.
Chou O-Te creates three giant mats that flip upward from the ground, sort of
like gigantic versions of Baiken's Tatamigaeshi. They are really hard to
jump over, so you might just have to block it.
Perfect Rainbow is a laser shot upwards and out from Leopaldon's mouth. The
damage is extremely high, but thankfully you'll only get hit if you're above
his mouth at the time.
Taking on Leopaldon involves simply attempting to hit his head with some
high-powered air combos. If you're teaming with another person, have one
stand in the front line and the other in the back line; that way, your attacks
won't interfere with your characters, but you'll both still be able to hit
Leopaldon.
AW-NET
AW-Net is the online system that all Isuka machines (in Japan, at least) are
connected to. If you create an AW-Net account for yourself, you can then give
yourself a username (which will show up on the screen) as well as unlock
extra features for your character such as alternate color schemes, and EX
mode characters.
Creating an AW-Net account involves purchasing an AW-Net card and then using
the access number to create an account online. As far as I know, the only way
to create an account is to access the mobile AW-Net site from an internet-
capable cell phone within Japan, so without friends in high places AW-Net use
is impossible overseas.
Once your account is created, you'll start to compile a win-loss record,
a ranking, and AW-Net points. There is actually a ranking tree, as below:
Minarai (Apprentice)
|
-------------------------------------------------
| |
Akurai (Evildoer) Shiganhei (Volunteer Soldier)
| |
Shoukinkubi Lv. 1 (Bounty Level 1) Kakyuuhei (Lower Class Soldier)
| |
Shoukinkubi Lv. 2 Shienhei (Support Soldier)
| |
Shoukinkubi Lv. 3 Shintaiin (New Squad Member)
| |
Shoukinkubi Lv. 4 Taiin (Squad Member)
| |
Shoukinkubi Lv. 5 Tokuha Taiin (Special Squad Member)
| |
Shoukinkubi Lv. 6 Joukyuu Taiin (Upper Class Squad Member)
| |
Shoukinkubi Lv. 7 Shoutaichou (Lower Captain)
| |
Shoukinkubi Lv. 8 Daitaichou (Upper Captain)
| |
Shoukinkubi Lv. 9 Shugotenshi (Guardian Angel)
| |
Shitei S Kyuu Shoukinkubi (S Class Bounty) Shugokami (Guardian God)
| |
Sekai Shimei Tehai (World Wanted Suspect) Danchou (Commander)
The left course is known as the Bounty Course, and the right is known as the
Holy Order Course. Depending on your actions in battle, you'll gain 'Bounty
Points' or 'Holy Order Points' (these are hidden values). As you gain more
points, you'll gain ranks, and whichever kind you have more of, that's the
course you will proceed on. Changing courses is possible if you suddenly get
one kind of point. If you get higher than Shoukinkubi Lv. 6 or Joukyuu Taiin,
however, you can still change courses, but you'll drop down to the
Shoukinkubi Lv. 6 or Joukyuu Taiin levels.
To gain Bounty points:
--fight alone
--win battles alone
--join an existing 1 vs. 1 fight and team with somebody
--defeat players on the Holy Order course
--team with players on the Bounty course
To gain Holy Order points:
--team with others
--win battles while teamed with somebody
--join an existing 1 vs. 2 fight and team with the underdog
--defeat players on the Bounty course
--team with players on the Holy Order course
There are also special ranks on both sides that must be obtained by fulfilling
special conditions:
Sarashikubi (Beheaded Criminal) Rakudai (Fallen Soldier)
Knightbreaker Onikari (Demon Hunter)
| |
Nightmare Ryuugari (Dragon Hunter)
| |
Hellgate Kensei (Sword Saint)
| |
Hellrider Eiyuu (Hero)
| |
????? ?????
Sarashikubi and Rakudai are rather embarassing ranks. To obtain these, while
on Akurai or Shiganhei rank, respectively, continuously lose to others with
perfects.
To get on the special tracks, you'll need a certain number of Rare Points.
These are also hidden values so you cannot check them. Before reaching
Shoukinkubi Lv. 6 or Joukyuu Taiin, if you've gotten over 200 victories, over
a 90% win rate, and a large number of Rare Points, you'll become a
Knightbreaker/Onikari instead, and you'll proceed on those courses.
To gain Rare points:
--win against players of higher ranking
--win a 2 vs. 1 as the loner character
--win with a perfect
--win with a lot of time left on the clock.
With an AW-Net account, you'll also accumulate AW points that you CAN check
on online. You can exchange these points to purchase extra features for your
characters.
To get AW points:
--start or continue a game (10 points each time)
--gain 10 levels in Survival (1 point to a maximum of 5)
--clear Survival (5 points)
--win a versus match (5 points per opponent)
--win a 2 vs. 1 match (5 points if on the team, 10 points if the loner)
--win a 2 vs. 1 vs. 1 match (5 points if on the team, 15 points if the loner)
The things you can purchase so far with AW points are:
--extra color schemes (300 points per)
--EX mode Characters (1500 points per)
--Survival Mode level pass (1000 points)
