-- VERSION HISTORY --
-----------------------------
Version 1.4 | August 15, 2002
Looked over the basics section of the guide and reworded some sentences. Last
update I will probably ever make. I'm sorry this FAQ didn't turn out that
well. This was my first fighting game FAQ after all. If I make another, I'll
be sure to make it a whole lot better than this one. Thanks for your support
and all!
Version 1.39 | March 7, 2002
Finished Move Descriptions for every character. Also added some comments for
Dizzy and Testament. Yep.
Version 1.38 | March 5, 2002
It's been a while, hasn't it? In this version, I've reformatted a lot of
things and reorganized the lists and stuff. I've finished mostly everything
that were left undone (except for a few small things). Some information for
Guilty Gear X Plus were added as well; that's it for this update.
Version 1.2 | January 7, 2002
First update of the new year. Cleaned up some stuff and re-formatted things.
Yeah.
Version 1.0 | October 21, 2001
Got around to finishing the move list for Dizzy and Testament. So all the
Characters have move lists now. I guess that makes the move list officially
done. Also added the secret to getting Guilty Gear Mode and other stuff.
Version 0.9 | October 10, 2001
A pretty complete version. All I need to do is add some finishing touches to
the whole guide and add some new sections if necessary. I know there's some
other things to do, but time is cutting me short and I may need to stop here.
Although I will try my best to do more of what I can to the FAQ, I promise
no one as to the content of the guide. Like anyone cares, anyway...
Version 0.6 | October 8, 2001
The basic move list is done! However, the whole guide is far from finished. I
will add the two bonus characters: Testament and Dizzy when I can figure out
how to get them, as well as add the addition attacks for the characters. I'm
awfully tired right now, so bleah. So much for the "updates will be very
scarce" comment. :)
Version 0.44 | October 7, 2001
It's been a lot of work, but I've finally gotten the basics done, but the
combo section is still undergoing some serious work. It's easily the most
complicated feature of GGX, so I will take some time on that. I finally have
the lowdown on game details, which you can find in Game Overview. I've also
added 3 new characters. I have a lot of things planned for this guide, so
don't stray too far. I've added 3 more characters and a code to get Testament
and Dizzy onto the team. Thanks to
[email protected].
Version 0.2 | October 6, 2001
I don't really have much done. Just got some of the character moves done and
gone. Everything else is still under construction for further updates.
However, due to many other activities and hell--er, I mean school--updates
will be very scarce, but I'll try my best to complete this ASAP! I'm very
truly sorry for the lack of info! Remember that this is a VERY EARLY version
and updates will follow! This has got to be my worst FAQ yet, and I typed all
this in haste. I'm tired and grumpy, so maybe the writing content ain't so
nice. Sit tight, my Guilty Gear X-owning friends, updates will come, and the
brilliance of this guide will shine shortly.

Truthfully, I'm not the biggest fan of fighting games. Sure, I played one of
the earliest Street Fighter games on the Super Famicom (or something of the
likes my step brother brought from Hong Kong), and played many other games of
the fighting genre that have grown on me, but no, I'm really not crazy about
them. Mostly because I can never get really good at 'em; let alone, beat a
human opponent other than a fragment of my imagination. And what really
infuriated me most about these games were the crackbrained controls--I could
never get my stupid characters to perform their moves. Not even when I've got
fingers full of blisters. By the time I do, however, the 2-liter bottle of
pop by my side has already gone insipid. So I can finally do something, but
can I do it again? The repulsive thought hammers in my head and tells me to
stop trying; to stop playing these evil games. I complied.
But that was months ago. Now that I've heard exciting comments about this new
(and probably revolutionary) game, I'm thinking of starting playing these
types of games again (Duh, you retard! Otherwise, you wouldn't have made this
FAQ!). So what makes this game so great? Most notably, the character designs.
What's so great about them? They're really anime-ish! So? So, they're really
cool anime characters...And? Shut up!
Guilty Gear X is definitely a game that screams for attention, but it's more
likely to be overlooked as "that one fighting game". Folks who are into anime
should surely give this game a go! Although my opinion is just biased, I'll
definitely champion Guilty Gear X as the most intuitive fighter simulation of
the year! And not to mention, the sleeper hit of the year...If you aren't
convinced, you could always check IGN or Gamespot for screenshots and info.

Did any of you wonder why GGX was valued 10 bucks less than a regular PS2
game? I don't know why either, don't ask me. Regardless, isn't that a GOOD
thing? So, you retched 40 bucks onto the cashiers hand and dashed out the
store like a thief who've just stolen 5 bucks from an old lady and jogged
home, leaving your parked car bathing in the sun. You fumble clumsily for
your house key and you accidentally drop it in a hole in your porch. Great,
genius. But, wait! You have a spare key in your car! And that car is still
gleaming sun-chrome in the mall parking lot. You check your pockets to find a
rabbit's foot, a paperclip, a coat hanger, a half-eaten cookie, 2 cents, a
ripped dollar and a bottle cap along with some lint. So what do you use or do
to retrieve the key? Hitchhike back to the mall because you're too tired from
running 40 miles back home from the mall in the first place.
An old hag pulls over and gives you a ride in her jacked up '45 Ford. It runs
at 2 MPH and 3 hours later, you reach the end of your street. You're getting
a little impatient...You knock the granny out of the car and run! You run all
the way back to your house and make a desperate leap for the window, crashing
through it. You ignore the cuts and bruises and proceed to your basement to
play some GGX. Glee was spread out through the world...
The moral of this story? Don't leave the mall without GGX in a bag. Lovely.
Who said the heading "Survival Tips" had to do with the game? :)

===================================================================/__/==\ \
\_/
In the 22nd Century, mankind succeeded in harnessing the power of magic,
Which provided for a limitless source of natural energy. Scientific thought,
as it was known, was outlawed through this world. But warring among the
nations continued, and eventually, a new breed of amazingly powerful biologi-
cal weapons was developed. This was the birth of the "Gears."
One day, from among the ranks of these slave-like Gears, a rebel appeared,
declaring himself capable of independent thought. This powerful being
possessed awesome fighting ability, and went by the name of "Justice".
Enlisting an army of fellow Gears from around the globe, he declared war on
the human race. In opposition, humankind formed the Sacred Order of Holy
Knights, whose sole purpose was to crush the Gear rebellion and wage a Holy
War against the renegade humanoids. After a period of countless battles,
which came to be known as the Crusades, Justice was eventually banished to an
impenetrable dimensional prison and the remaining Gears, now leaderless, were
hunted down one by one...
Five years later, a morbid sense of fear that Justice had been resurrected
enveloped the world. The Union of Nations, who looked gravely upon the
current state of affairs, organized an international fighting tournament to
select members suitable enough for inclusion in the Sacred Order of Holy
Knights. It was a cruel and suspicious affair, wherein criminals were allowed
to compete and the shedding of blood during battles was not only permitted,
but common...
In the year 2180, Justice--the most powerful and diabolical Gear ever to have
been encountered by humans--was defeated in the international fighting
tournament. The remaining Gears, now leaderless, were hunted down and
eliminated. Humankind was finally free from the catastrophic menace brought
on by the Gears.
However...less than a year after the incident, information about the
discovery of a particular Gear rose to the public's attention. The report
stated, "This Gear is functioning properly, even though its activities should
be inhibited by its lack of leadership. There are no signs of abnormalities
or physical damage. It is also noted that no civilians have been harmed,
either intentionally or accidentally. We have made several attempts to
eliminate the Gear, but due to its tremendous combat capabilities, we have
been unsuccessful. The number of casualties have yet to be confirmed. We are
currently keeping the Gear under surveillance." Gears are biological weapons
that are programmed to blindly obey the orders given to them by their
commander. In the absence of orders, they become passive and behave
peacefully. However, all existing Gears have had their memories erased by
Justice and without orders, they are incapable of doing anything. Not only do
they lack the instinct to protect themselves, they cannot even perform the
essential activities they need to keep themselves alive. As long as a Gear is
functioning properly, it should be following commands given by Justice.
Understandably, the news of this Gear that seemed to have a will of its own
stunned everyone. Humans became terrified by the possible emergence of a
second self-reliant Gear like Justice. To make matters worse, rumors were
flying that each nation was in possession of their own Gears for the purpose
of military use, driving anti-Gear sentiment among humans to an all-time
high. They would not have given up their long-awaited peace so easily, and
soon, an announcement was made:
Whosoever brings about the demise of this dreadful Gear shall be rewarded
with the lofty sum of 500,000 World Dollars!
--From the Instruction Booklet
BOTTOM LINE: Gears are bad. You're going to choose one of 12 participants in
the tournament and whip each other's butts for 500,000 World Dollars! I don't
exactly know how much that's worth, but it sounds like enough to goad these
12 people to risk their lives for it. Of course, they have their side stories
and what not. The winner of the tournament gets to join the Holy Knights in a
battle of wits against the Gears of demolition!

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Have you ever wanted to summon a dolphin right out of mid-air to attack your
opponent with? And even ride this dolphin? How about looking like an 11 year
old school girl attired in pirate style rain coats and rain boots that make
squeaky noises as you walk? Then, supervise a flying pirate ship with the
crew made up entirely of women (I know you wouldn't mind, but you're missing
the point)? Now you can.
That's May, a little girl in cute yellow that brandishes a huge anchor as her
main attack weapon, from Guilty Gear X. Guilty Gear--technically meaning
"equipment disengaged having done wrong", but don't take that from me. It
doesn't make sense. Originally an arcade and Japanese Dreamcast exclusive, it
was incidentally a big hit in Japan. So I guess the guys in Japan were
thinking, "Hell, why not! Let those pigs in America have some share of fun!"
Boy, can we ever thank them. They are damn right we are having fun. In fact,
it's more than our share. And fun just doesn't cut it...
"It's pretty," says many first gawkers at this game...Or otherwise known as a
typical "Ohhhhh" and "Ahhhhh..." game. There's much more to the pretty guise.
The primary deviation from Capcom classics and other fighting games is that
it introduces a new breed of character creation and intense game play. While
it doesn't offer vast options to choose from (like Team or Tag-Team battles),
it still is quite the treat for those functional visual receptors.
Considering we have been seeing a lot of 3D fighting games nowadays, it's a
nostalgic and refreshing change to the weary pattern of recent fighters. 2D
fighting has made a thundering reappearance!
Lead planner, Daisuke Ishiwatari, is also the man responsible for the dainty
character designs. It's easy to say that Guilty Gear X isn't the boy wonder
of a well-defined exhibit, but its mechanics can rival that of Capcom's or
Tecmo's any day of the week and twice on Sundays. The cast disposes 12
enigmatic characters to choose from. The choices aren't as extended as the 50
some characters KOF and SF games have to proffer. Quite respectably, this may
scotch a decent challenge for some advanced, hardcore fighters. A really
cheap way to kill a human opponent is to use a special move called an Instant
Kill. As the name implies, it instantly KO's the opposing character in one
sweep. However, using that costs energy from a gauge called the Tension
Gauge, which works generally the same as that gauge from SF (you know, that
one gauge. The name eludes me at the moment). GGX attracts less skillful
players, like myself, to enjoy this game and gleefully pulverize immobile CPU
dummies.
On the Title screen, there are 4 real modes to choose from: Arcade, Versus,
Training and Survival. They all speak for themselves so they don't bear long
explanations. If you're a true purist, this game can engross you for months
to come, or until Capcom VS SNK 2 hits the local shores. Otherwise, it gets
a little too prosaic for the average gamer.
Adrenaline, what's this I hear about a Guilty Gear X Plus? Is it different or
does it have more goodies? Well, obviously, it should. Here's the breakdown.
We, American pigs have gotten this game a whole month earlier than <prepare
for a shocker> Japan! Why? The one released for Japan is entitled Guilty Gear
X Plus, which is forcefully packed with extra eggs and mouth-watering
features, like the art gallery mode and two extra characters (Justice and
Kliff Underson from the original GG). The American version is, unfortunately,
a revamped conversion from the Dreamcast exclusive released in Japan. Why
they decided to torture us this way is beyond me. I say we e-mail Sammy and
those other bastards and whine like the little Americans we are!

You're wondering: "Why the hell would you make a move list when there is one
in the game AND in the manual?" Or "Why are you making this pointless guide
when BCureton's superior one towers yours in comprehensiveness?" My answer
applies to both questions: Because I like to, and I can. Also because there
are many things that the manual doesn't cover that you can only find out
yourself, or with the help of Cureton's guide (Praise the lord!). And I'm
also here to clarify some misunderstandings between the two versions--DC and
PS2, and the upcoming GGX Plus set out for Japan. I just hope people will
respect my intellectual property and investment of time. This game is pure
um, pureness and I'm willing to set aside some time to make up what you call
a guide.
NOTE: In some damage estimations, you will see the tilde character ("~"). It
usually means approxitemately, but in some cases, it means the damage will
vary depending on how or when you use it. For example, while in the air, it
will do more damage than it normally would. So you should try various forms
of the same move to find out.

\ ANJI MITO /
/_______________________------------------------------______________________\
Height: 183 CM
Weight: 68 KG
Blood Type: B
Eye Color: Black
Birthday: January 1
Origin: Japan before destruction
Nationality: Japanese
Hobby: Vigorous sports and traveling
Anji is a descendent of pure Japanese ancestry. Because there are only a
handful of Japanese in this time period, they are viewed as international
treasures, and do not receive the same treatment as regular citizens. Anji
has decided to conceal his own racial origins in order to search for "The
Man" who developed the Gears and who is responsible for the destruction of
the Japanese people.
Comments: Anji can be very capable of powerhouse status if used effectively.
He uses a Japanese fan and umbrella as weapons, which makes him rather slow.
His main fault is his speed, but his power is exceptionally sufficient. I
would advise against using him if you're a first timer, as you may find him a
bit frustrating to use correctly.

\ AXL LOW /
/_______________________------------------------------______________________\
Height: 179 CM
Weight: 78 KG
Blood Type: B
Eye Color: Blue
Birthday: December 25
Origin: England
Hobby: Shooting Billiards
Axl is actually a man of the 20th century. Due to a cruel twist of fate, he
got sucked into a time slip that has been bouncing him around irregularly
through time and space. Unable to find a way back home, he continued to roam
through time in search of an answer. During his journey, he learned another
of another time traveler just like him, known only as "The Man." Sensing the
presence of "The Man" behind the incident with the Gear, he decides to enter
the Tournament...
Comments: Axl is very proficient with his um, sickles and proves to be a very
worthwhile character to fool around with. It's hard to escape the long range
of his weapons, so most opponents will get dragged in by his attacks. It's
very unfortunate when you're playing against him because you'll tend to be in
rough shape afterwards, unless you're really good. Axl is fast and fairly
easy to use. It warrants my unsolicited recommendation for beginners and even
intermediate players. Advance players will be cheaters using him.

\ BAIKEN /
/_______________________------------------------------______________________\
Height: 162 CM
Weight: 45 KG
Blood Type: B
Eye Color: Peach
Birthday: March 5
Origin: Japan before destruction
Hobby: Drinking
When the Japanese institution she lived in was raided, Baiken witnessed the
horrible deaths of her parents and friends. This massacre was the work of the
gears, but what had been etched into her memory was the image of a man
surrounded by dancing flames and his creations. She became acutely aware,
even in the absence of evidence, that he was an enemy. Her memory of this
event has not faded, and she continues to search for the true identity of
"The Man," to exact her revenge.
Comments: She (surprise!) looks so much like Himura Kenshin, it's sickening.
She kinda sounds like him too! Except her swordsmanship isn't as well
defined as Kenshin's, unfortunately. She still proves to be a competent
character in Arcade Mode, although she isn't the easiest of characters to get
used to. I've never used her much, though.

Realized he lacked the devotion to complete the task at hand, and decided to
go back into training. Now, he is once again ready to go out in search of
that which might truly save him, and so, he focuses his interest on the story
of the Gear.
Comments: He's unbelievably fast and has a neat teleport trick that allows
him to dodge attacks with ease, as well as surprise the opponent and kick off
with some combos. Chipp is apt for the beginner because of his speed and easy
flow of controls. But if you let an advanced player come to flex his muscles,
watch out, he's going to lay the smack down, HARD.

\ DIZZY /
/_______________________------------------------------______________________\
Comments: Dizzy is a little clumsy to handle, but once you've perfected her
moves, you can easily set of chains and chains of devastating combos. I have
just noticed that she doesn't do the fighting herself. Rather, the demons
attached to her do most of the work. Not that it's a bad thing, but it's
interesting to note. Although I'm not proficient in the Japanese language, I
think each time she does the "tail" attack and some other ones, she would say
"Gome" or "Sorry" in Japanese. Don't raise a fuss, though, if I'm wrong. Just
politely point out that I'm as dumb as a rope.

Once a highly-regarded surgeon, Faust committed a medical mishap that caused
Him to snap and go on a murderous rampage. After the last Tournament, he
managed to regain his humanity, and decided to take his own life to atone
for his sins. But just as he was about to end it all, he learned that it was
someone else who caused the mishap. It was then that he decided to seek the
truth behind his past misfortunes. Now, he has resolved to save lives. And
this resolve isn't just limited to human lives...
Comments: Faust's attacks are just hilarious to watch. Use him if you want
some comic relief. He has an extended reach that enables to connect with
opponents from far away, and did I mention he has the coolest attacks? Yes,
he does, and I guess I just did.

Jam is an aspiring master chef who works day and night to become famous in
the culinary world of China. Her goal is to create dishes that anyone would
find delicious. To achieve this goal, she decided to open her own restaurant.
she seeks to eliminate the dangerous Gear in order to earn seed money for her
culinary enterprise.
Comments: Jam is so deadly if you know how to use her. She's like the Chun-Li
of GGX, only better (and sexier). It gets anal when you try to beat her down
in Arcade Mode, but you'll dominate the tournament using her. Her main fault
is her lack of power. Her attacks don't do terribly too much damage like some
oversized brute I know. *cough*Potemkin*cough* He does way too much damage
for one blow. But yeah, Jam's a really cool fighting companion. Her controls
are seamless and easy to use at the right times. Aw. Yeah.

\ JOHNNY /
/_______________________------------------------------______________________\
Height: 184 CM
Weight: 72 KG
Blood Type: O
Eye Color: Blue
Birthday: October 24
Origin: USA
Hobby: Looking for female companionship
When he was young, Johnny's father was slain by a Gear. Because of this hor-
rifying experience, Johnny came to truly understand the plight of orphans
and endeavored to become a man of compassion like his father. He now leads a
band of chivalrous bandits, who aim to help those in need. But just what is
it that motivates Johnny not to forget his pledge to save the lonely?
Comments: Johnny is surprisingly a good character despite his fey appearance.
He's almost immaculate since he's good with his hands, swift, and just an
all around good fighter. His attacks are easy to remember, but it gets just a
teeny bit confusing when it comes to his Mist Finer. Other than that, I'd
recommend him to anyone who's willing to take a new approach.

Height: 178 CM
Weight: 58 KG
Blood Type: AB
Eye Color: Blue Green
Birthday: November 20
Origin: France
Nationality: French
Hobby: Collecting Tea Cups
A charismatic and talented swordsman, Ky was appointed leader of the Sacred
Order of Holy Knights when he was only 16. Worshipping justice and order, he
treasures peace above all. But after the previous tournament, he began to
question his sense of justice and his belief that all Gears are evil. Upon
receiving word of a Gear who may have no intentions of hurting humans, he
decides to embark on a new journey.
Comments: Ky's a very powerful fighter if used correctly, but he isn't easily
mastered, or easy to control, at that. But when you handle him effectively,
he can whoop really hard. His speed is average which makes it frustrating at
times to maneuver him, but his power makes up for it. He's also a bit slow
in-between combos, so you'll need to know the right moves to form some
effective and powerful combos. Other than a few flaws, he's a player's choice
to begin with.

Blood Type: B
Eye Color: Black
Birthday: May 5 (The day she was found)
Origin: Unknown
Hobby: Daydreaming about Johnny
Having lost her parents at a young age, May was picked up by pirate Johnny
and raises as a chivalrous bandit. As time passed, she came to be charmed by
her new guardian's kindness and fairness. After the previous tournament, she
had hoped to give Johnny a birthday present, but she realized she didn't have
money. Then, she learned of the huge bounty put on the Gear, and decided to
go for the Tournament.
Comments: May is squeaky clean and makes cute squeaky noise when she moves
around. Probably made from a mouse toy. Her Mr. Dolphin! attack can be pretty
devastating if used properly. She's an average speedy character, but her
fairly large reach of her anchor makes her an okay character. Not really
great, but you can slide by battles enough. I envy you if you can master her.
I really do.

Height: 169 CM
Weight: 48 KG
Blood Type: B
Eye Color: Blue
Birthday: Unknown because she was orphaned
Origin: Village of the Assassins, Russia
Hobby: Chasing Cats
Losing bother her parents when she was still a child, Millia was trained by
a group of assassins to use her hair as a weapon. However, a bout with her
conscience caused her to quit the organization and eventually defeat its
leader, Zato, in the last Tournament. The complex feelings she experienced as
a result of this troubled her greatly, and so now she feels it's time to
settle the score with Zato once and for all.
Comments: Her hair is deadly. Lot's of a hair spray to keep it that hard and
thrash people around with. Her deftness with her uh, hair is beyond what I've
ever seen in a fighting game. Pretty cool. At times her attacks become plain
annoying and a chore to execute at the right time. When you play against her,
she tends to use "Iron Saber" a LOT. So if you're using a character with an
attack that involves teleporting elsewhere, you will feel the benefit of it.

received direct orders from the President. His top-secret mission? Find the
gear that the bounty hunters are pursuing and bring it back safely to Zepp.
Comments: This guy unloads explosive damage and I'm not the least bit kidding
either! One blow from this guy knocks off at least a 1/4 of your life. No
joke. Potemkin is crazy shit and bad news for anyone playing against him. Not
only have I had mounds of trouble beating him, he always ends up sucking my
life gauge dry before I land a hit on him. He may be slow, but don't take him
too lightly. Plus, the fact that he can do a sudden rush attack to as some...

Heat Knuckle - Grabs opponents and sets his opponent ablaze with
constant fire assaults.
Heat Extend - A follow-up attack to Heat Knuckle in which he
charges up and makes a finishing blow.
Giganter - Puts up a force-field that can cause dizzy status
to opponent.
Gigantic Bullet - Forms a huge surge of energy and charges forward.
Heavenly Potemkin Buster - Aerial version of Potemkin Buster.
Magnum Opera - Tosses opponent into the air and pulverizes his
opponent as he comes down.

Birthday: Unknown
Origin: USA
Hobby: Listening to Queen
Sol was once a subject of a biological weapon research. To conceal his past,
he has spent the last 150 years living as a bounty hunter. To avert further
tragedy, he continues his quest to find and eliminate all Gears and their
creator from the annals of history. Hearing news of a still-functional Gear,
he sets out for the Tournament to investigate.
Comments: Sol is generally what the average first-timer would use to get used
to GGX's complex mechanics. I don't blame them. He's pretty easy to use and
very powerful. Well, fairly powerful, anyway. His combos are also easy to
properly manage so mastering him takes less time than it would with any other
character. Because of his muscular build, he's a little slow...

\ TESTAMENT /
/_______________________------------------------------______________________\
Comments: Testament is a cool guy and can be really deadly when an advanced
player steps in to flex his muscles. The crow (Zio) that accompanies
Testament aids him in battle--its attacks do quite a lot of damage and can
append to extra combos. Testament's duty and primary purpose in the
tournament is to protect Dizzy from potential hazards. Like Dizzy, he was
shunned by mankind since they believed him to be a vicious gear. But anyway,
he's recently become one of my favorites.

\ VENOM /

Height: 179 CM
Weight: 66 KG
Blood Type: A
Eye Color: Blue
Birthday: Orphaned, Unknown
Origin: Village of Assassins, England
Hobby: Reading and Chess
Orphaned at a young age, Venom was taken in by the Guild of Assassins. He
pledged his allegiance to his benefactor, Zato, who saw the boy as a
necessity to the guild. However, in the middle of a certain scheme, Zato was
arrested and sealed away in the Prison of Dimension. Yet Zato, who was
supposedly freed in the last Tournament, failed to return to the guild. Now,
having received information about a possible Zato sighting, Venom departs to
investigate.
Comments: As an ally, Venom can be put to beneficial use and kick butt like
me, high on Coke. But if you're fighting against him, prepare yourself. You
are in for a challenging fight. I honestly haven't used him enough to judge
what he's capable of, so I'll, again, get back to this later.

Stinger Aim - Conjures a slow-moving ball of energy forward.
Carcass Raid - Blasts a small energy ball onto the ground. This will
cause the ball to bounce up and down the screen.
Ball Formation - Forms a ball. Depending upon the button pressed, the
location of the ball will differ. This attack can be
utilized to form combos. They disappear over time if
not immediately used upon summon. You can conjure each
"type" of ball from the four buttons, but not from the
same button at any one time. Make sense?
Double Head Morbid - Rushes forward while twirling his weapon stick. Also,
a good thing to know is that Venom will slide further
by pressing HS.
Warp - Teleports into the air, or to the position of his ball
formation.
Mad Struggle - Venom dives down while drilling his stick into his
opponent. The K button will add an extra backward jump
kick at the end.
Dark Angel - Forms a huge, red sphere. It advances towards opponent
and hits him multiple times.
Red Hail - Jumps higher in the air and unleashes multiple shots
from weapon.
Dim Bomber - A really cool pool table animation commences in which
the opponent gets repeatedly bashed by the balls. Once
he drops back down, he will experience intense pain
from an ensuing explosion.

Height: 181 CM
Weight: 68 KG
Blood Type: A
Eye Color: Originally Blue
Birthday: January 28
Origin: Village of Assassins, Spain
Hobby: Guess who wrote certain flowery phrases
The leader of an organization of assassins, Zato has gained the ability to
manipulate shadows in exchange for his vision. But the constant battling in
the previous Tournament took its toll on him, and the shadows seized control
of his body. Now, his shadow possesses its own will and thought, and seeks
out its brethren. With the word of a substantial amount of prize money, the
shadow begins to follow the scent of the new Gear.
Comments: I haven't been able to use him to a full extent, but I've seen him
in action enough to comment his capabilities. Zato basically uses his shadow
as his weapon and it's damn deadly if you aren't careful playing against him.
He can get really good if played by the right person. Unfortunately, I'm not
one of them. He has whooped my ass numerous times and it's difficult to
escape his shadow's grasp.

o| Rules for Knockout
--------------------------------
===== MATCH FORMAT =====
As with all other fighting games, the last one standing will be determined as
the winner. There's a life gauge at the top, and whether you're 1P or 2P,
your bar can be on either side. If you fully exhaust your opponent's life
bar, then he will, of course, be KOed (Knocked out). Now there will be times
when both of your gauges are on the verge of depleting completely. You could
both get KOed by battering each other at the same exact moment, which results
in a draw. You can have up to 3 rounds only. Two out of three wins the match.
===== TIME LIMIT =====
There are time limits placed on each battle. You must quickly knock down the
opponent before the counter reaches zero. If you do not, your ass will be
grass and I will smoke some (Haha, Steve). One round offers 99 seconds of
pure whoop ass. If you so happen to have both characters still standing after
the time expires, the player with the most life remaining automatically wins
the battle.
o| Modes of Play
--------------------------------
===== ARCADE MODE =====
Arcade mode is the main mode you'd want to fool around with if you play solo.
It offers Sudden Death matches, in which if you lose the match, you lose the
"tournament", but you have the chance to continue. That's always nice. Arcade
Mode is much like the tournament explained in the story itself. When you
battle the CPU opponent, you always fight in that character's venue. The
opponents you face are chosen at random from a cast of eleven other
characters. Choose from your deadly arsenal of 12 characters to crap on the
competition.
===== VERSUS MODE =====
You and another physical being can duke it out one-on-one in the arena! Dual
Shock 2 is preferred. Select Versus Mode on the title screen, and both of you
will be able to choose your character. You can choose the arena of a specific
character if you'd like by pressing L1. A yellow box will overlap the blue
one. Move that to a character who meets the standards of your desired battle
arena. They're all set, so it won't be randomized among characters.
===== TRAINING MODE =====
If you happen to feel attached to a certain character and you would like to
meliorate your skills with that character, then take him to Training Mode!
When you do, select the character and a "practice dummy" for sparring. As you
enter commands (press buttons), the game will record them on a line at the
bottom of the screen. So you could see what the hell you pressed that
unleashed that ultra cool move! As for the sparring dummy, it will initially
be standing and stoical to all attacks, regardless of how horrifyingly you've
punished it. The AI can be tampered with, however. Just pop into the menu
screen and select ENEMY SETTING, and do your dirty work there. You could beef
it up to max and watch it spank you. It's all up to you.
===== SURVIVAL MODE =====
Survival Mode puts you in a position to fight your way through a great number
of unbroken battles to rack up those points--experience points to increase
your ability level. This is based on the Sudden Death set of rules--once you
lose one match, it's all over. You'll have to start from the very beginning.
There are no continues. As you continue through successive battles, your
opponents increase in power and become much harder. Once your level has
reached 100, you will have cleared this session of Survival Mode. If you
gather enough, you can unlock Guilty Gear X Mode! More info on this in the
secrets section.
===== RECORDING MODE =====
Have you ever wanted to record one of your most astounding plays? You want to
see how well you perform during combat, and you want to know how you can
improve? Well, you can with the Recording Mode. This mode records one round
of your performance against an opponent. You can only do this if you have a
Memory Card. It requires 95KB of free space for one recording session. You
may choose to overwrite a current one if you'd like to replace it with a
better clip. To record, select Recording from the title menu and select
"Recording". It will start to record any fights from there. However, if you
select this option before inserting the Memory Card, all previous files will
be deleted. The same holds true for when you turn the console off.
===== OPTIONS =====
Like any Options mode in any type of game, it lets you change the default
game settings to suit your tastes. You can choose to adjust the difficulty of
the CPU opponents in the Arcade Mode, subtract and add time to the match
clock, set the number of rounds per match, choose to skip cut scenes and
other demos and toggle the Medal Mode. Medals are just indicators as to the
number of wins you've earned in Arcade Mode. All these settings can be messed
around with.
===== RANKING =====
After each duel, you will earn a certain number of points depending on your
overall performance for that particular round. Things like the amount of time
left in the round is counted toward your total points. The faster you beat
down your opponent, the more points will roll in. You can check these
statistics in the Arcade and Survival Modes. The CPU characters will be
included.

o| Basic Moves
--------------------------------
D -> -> or <- <-
A It really depends where you're facing and where you want to go. Dashing is
S a key basic to pulling off deadly attacks, and avoiding them. Facing
H forward, tap -> twice to dash forward. To move backwards, tap <- twice.
G <- or Crouch /
U The Guard technique can block almost all attacks, except for Instant Kill
A and probably some Overdrive moves. If you block upright, you'll be open
R to attack in the lower body portion, so you've got to watch for where the
D opponent is going to attack and press either buttons to defend yourself.
J ^ ^
U | or to jump higher | |
M v
P Pretty useful if you're looking to execute some deadly combos and whatnot.
T -> + (P)/(S)/(HS)
H
R Basically, you run forward and press any attack button to manage a forward
U thrust attack. While it isn't the best attack, it certainly is a good
S combo starter. Some characters can use this to perform a forward thrust
T attack with a kick.
D During Guard -> + Any 2 buttons pressed simultaneously
