EXaaaaaaahrd!
So, I'm moderately hyped for Revelator, but I didn't really pick Sign up and I'm curious about some details. So far I have watched little footage of it - really just Mark and the Zaibatsu playing it - and of the new game Jack-O really caught my attention because of how off her playstyle looks in comparison to Ryu's or Cammy's. Tell, how varied are the characters in Guilty Gear Xrd? I sure don't expect them to go KI levels of uniqueness, but I hope there's more of it than in SF4 or MK in general.

This topic screams my name!! Well, recently i've been playing the demo for Revelator on PS4, and i played a ton of vanilla Xrd since it came out. I can assure you that all the characters are completely unique from one another, no 6 variants of Sol Badguy here, ryu clones are in that direction >>>>>>>>> i.ytimg.com/vi/F-tMbscoHXM/hqdefault.jpgThere are lots of technical quirks with the game, but in the simplest ways. For instance, many of the characters have their own methods of movements and mechanics. I-No doesn't run, she can only air dash, Johnny only dashes but doesn't run, and he also can throw coins to charge his sword which in turn inflicts extra damage and damage properties (knock back, etc...) I know this because these are the characters i use. I have some clips of me playing as I-No, but i'm not sure where they are. I'd love to explain further, but i'm not gonna do it justice.

Oh boy, more characters that belong in Blazblue.
I can't say I'm not hyped for Johnny though, I'll be sure to get this when it comes out.

Oh that demo which is totally not a demo! How much are you having? And that pic you linked has a big misconception on the left. Nice to know the cast is varied. One thing is beginning to play (or going back to) fighting games, another thing is to find a new game while you're already well-served. After playing stellar games like SF4, MK, VF5FS and Skullgirls, I feel that a gimmicky approach would please me, like what kind of happens in Skullgirls but not really. Oh boy, more characters that belong in Blazblue. I can't say I'm not hyped for Johnny though, I'll be sure to get this when it comes out. That's what you get when the developer is the same. Sol and Ky are already there, so it isn't a stretch to imagine there isn't much keeping characters from crossing over. Since I haven't played Sign at all I'm looking forward to almost everyone, really. The ones that call my attention the most are Venom, Millia, May, that shark man I don't know the name, Ramlethal (granted, it's more because she looks distracting), Jack-O and Kum (yes, I'm looking forward to Kum). I guess I'll try Venom or shark man first whenever I have the chance.

I think Leo looks kinda dumb, actually, with those big ass cross-shaped tonfas... The one I was talking about has such a weird name, Zato=1. His moves are flashy.

He's also the toughest character in the game, also the strongest if used correctly, Zato, that is.

Or get both and have two Platinums instead of one.

Still waiting for Dizzy's new design. We haven't seen anything of her since the announcement. Raven looks sick, though.

Buying a previous version of a fighting game after the next one is already out is almost always a "no!". Just wait till Revelator is out, Pimpjira. You can watch the story of the first if it isn't included. Is Dizzy cool? I know people voted her to be there, but her previous design doesn't tell me much. Raven looks like those emo guys of my teen years; wonder if he'll turn out to be a reference to them. ... Sucks I can't listen to a clean version of Safe Intoxication as of now.
