Other than that, youвЂ™ve got your classic arcade mode, which sets you up to start the story mode.

A full tutorial mode that walks you through every mechanic in the game, as well as the basics and properties of performing simple attacks, a challenge mode that lets you get acquainted with each charactersвЂ™ moves and combos, a mission mode that gets you ready for specific combat situations, as well as a free training mode are just the options under the practice tab. Luckily for first-timers, there are a multitude of single player game modes to get you ready for online fights. Throw in other minor abilities, like a block that uses up your super gauge (called Tension) but negates chip damage, an air throw, and clashing attacks together that can open up deadly attacks with Mortal Counters, and youвЂ™ve got a mechanic heavy game that seems overwhelming at first. Getting yourself stuck in a combo or blockstring doesnвЂ™t necessarily mean youвЂ™re done for against a tough opponent, as you have a burst that knocks an enemy away from you (with multiple utilities) or a dead angle attack, giving you precious moments to regroup in these fast paced fights.

The Guilty Gear series has always been a fighting game heavy on combos and mix-ups and Xrd: Sign is no exception, giving you many tools to do just that, including launchers that toss your opponent high into the sky, setting up for an air combo (did I mention that it looks SO COOL). While IвЂ™m not super familiar with the mechanics in other Guilty Gears (IвЂ™ve only played the first one as well XX Accent Core + R) this one allows for many combo and rush down opportunities with itвЂ™s cancels known as Yellow, Red and Purple Roman Cancels, allowing you to cancel your animation for a quicker recovery or to open up an unsuspecting opponent for a rush down. Luckily, itвЂ™s fantastic in that aspectВ too. Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign is not an art exhibit, itвЂ™s a fighting game. With the combination of music, visuals, and sound effects, Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign is a treat for your senses. Each sound effect is satisfying, especially on hit. The music, of course, is rocking and what youвЂ™d expect from a rock вЂn roll inspired game like Guilty Gear, though Xrd: Sign has a little more variety, with a number of Jazzy tracks (like Jack-a-Dandy, SlayerвЂ™s theme). HereвЂ™s hoping that there are options for each individual character in Revelator. While I prefer the Japanese, itвЂ™s nice to see the options. Speaking of presentation and dialogue, this is the first time EVER that Guilty Gear has had an option for the voices to be in English. ItвЂ™s clear a whole lot of love went into the characters and theВ game in general.

Speaking of unique dialogues, youвЂ™ll hear a number of unique intros and instant kill dialogues based on the fighters. You are of course treated with a win cinematic similar to your intro upon victory, and nearly every character has unique dialogue based on the opponent. Every time a match is won, youвЂ™re treated with a cool camera angle that makes any knockout look great, yes, even low kicks. Even super-moves get a miniature cinematic with interesting and unique camera angles, but still manages to not distract you from the rest of the game or take you out of the action. EveryВ effect, like flames or lightning are gorgeous and all the colors absolutely pop. Each character is so detailed and moves so fluidly. Each characterвЂ™s intro looks like a clip from an anime, yet fits in perfectly with the world around them.

From the very first match I saw, I was absolutely in love with the presentation. Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign, however, sets a new standard for presentation in 2.5D fighting games, in my opinion. Everything about Guilty Gear has always been unique, from the wild and unorthodox character designs, crazy rocking soundtrack, strange countdown (why not just вЂњReady?вЂќ Fight!вЂќ?), never-ending titles/rereleases (Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R), and interesting battle mechanics. Guilty Gear has always been known as Arc System WorksвЂ™s fighting game crown jewel.
