1. INTRODUCTION
For those of you that have a Sega Dreamcast (and for those that
don't...shame!!!), a Japanese company called Sammy put out a 2D fighter called
Guilty Gear X. Since Capcom and SNK pretty much wrote the book on 2D fighters,
no one really thought this one would go anywhere. Think again! Not only was the
DC version a fantastic fighting game, the GBA version is great as well. The
only downside is the crappy sound, but the tight controls, kickass graphics,
and fluid animation more than make up for it.
2. CONTROLS
You can configure the keys anyway you like, in either 4-button or 3-button
mode. If you plan on playing a lot of Tag Match games (see "Modes" below), then
I suggest 3-button mode. Below are the configurations I like to use personally,
but as stated earlier, you can change them to suit your taste.
Arcade: The standard game...fight your way to the final boss!
VS: Link up with a friend and pound on each other.
Training: Practice your moves here.
Survival: Keep fighting until you get demolished.
Tag Match: Team up with another character!
3 on 3: Same as Tag Match, but with 3 characters.
Options: Configure button settings, save settings, colors, etc.
4. CHARACTERS/MOVES
You'll notice I use some shorthand for the D-pad directions. Here's what they
mean:
All moves assume that you're facing to the right. If you're facing to the left,
just reverse the directions. All moves are listed in 4-button format; if you're
using 3-button, substitute the Attack button for Punch or Kick (unless
otherwise specified). Some moves can be done in midair as well...try 'em out!
Special Attacks are available when your tension meter (at the bottom of the
screen) is fully charged. Hi-Slash Special Attacks, if they connect with your
enemy, will kill them instantly! "Destroyed!"
Standard Moves:
These are the basic moves that anyone can do.
Run: Tap Forward twice
Dodge: Tap Back twice
Double Jump: Tap Jump twice
Air Dash: While in midair, tap Forward or Back twice
Grapple: Forward + Hi-Slash (while close to enemy)
Tag (in Tag modes): QF + Kick & Hi-Slash; (3-button mode, use QF + Extra)
Charge (3-button mode): Extra
Characters' Moves:
NOTE: All the move names are in Japanese, obviously. I used a crappy
translation program to try to get English names...some worked, some didn't. So
I'm sure that I'm WAY off. If you can read Japanese, I'd much appreciate some
help...the original move names can be found at www.guiltygearx.com/ggxae/ in
the "Characters" section.

TESTAMENT - If the Grim Reaper was an effeminate goth, he'd look like this.
(coming soon!)
DIZZY - A skimpy black leather outfit, a demon, and an angel. I don't know
whether to be scared, or turned on.
(coming soon!)
5. SECRETS/UNLOCKABLES
- Beat Arcade Mode to unlock Dizzy and Testament as playable characters; or
beat the "golden" versions of Dizzy and Testament in Survival Mode (also called
the "Dare-Devil" versions).
- If you beat the "golden" versions of characters in Survival Mode (also called
the "Dare-Devil" versions), you'll unlock their "Extra" mode on the character
select screen.
- Go through Survival Mode to unlock "Original Mode" in the Options menu.
6. NOTES
- Even though this game is Japanese, the ENTIRE game (except for the obligatory
trash-talk after each round) is in English, including the endings! The manual
is all in Japanese, though, so that can be a pain to dig through. But come on,
it's a fighting game, not an RPG, so you shouldn't have too much trouble
figuring it out. :)
