His combat skills easily surpass those of his human counterparts, and he is immune to the affects of age.To avert further tragedy, he continues on his quest to find and eliminate all Gears and the scientist who created them. After the death of Justice, all the Gears around the world should have ceased their activities; upon receiving word of a still-functioning Gear,Sol sets out for the Tournament to investigate. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Gun Flame QCF + PUNCH Volcanic Viper F,D,DF + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH --->Addition D,DB,B + KICK Grand Viper QCB + SLASH Bandit Revolver QCF + KICK Heavy Bandit Revolver QCF + press & hold KICK Flying Bandit Revolver In mid-air;QCF + KICK Riot Stamp QCB + KICK Wild Throw Up close;F,D,DF + KICK -[Overdrives]- Tyrant Rave HCB,F + HEAVY SLASH Dragon Install QCF,QCF + SLASH(Sol goes Berserk.BEWARE of this when fighting against him,once he's in it you lose.) -[Instant Kill]- NAPALM DEATH QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH ____________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••KY KISKE•••••••••• Height: 5'10 Weight: 128 lbs. Blood type: AB Eye color: Blue-Green Birthday: November 20 Birthplace: France Hobbies: Collecting teacups Likes: Everyone's smiling faces Dislikes: Sol Personal Info: Deadly serious, honest in work, truthful with others and devout in his morals. A firm believer in justice, eternally trying to help those weaker than himself. At the same time, he possesses a fragile mind that quickly erupts when he encounters anyone who breaks his rules or disrupts his order. In other words, he has a hard time dealing with freedom, a fact he has yet to realize. <<>> A charismatic and talented swordsman, Ky was appointed as the leader of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights when he was only 16. Since the Crusades, he has worked in the police force to keep his vigil over mankind. Justice's final words at the Tournament made Ky realize that the "justice" he believed in only served human purposes. Ky, who believed all his life that Gears were inherently evil, could neither agree nor disagree with Justice's message. It was then that he received word of a Gear that had no intention of harming humans. To determine the true meaning of justice, he decided to embark on a new journey. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Stun Edge QCF + SLASH Hyper Stun Edge QCF + HEAVY SLASH Flying Stun Edge In mid-air;QCF + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Vapor Thrust F,D,DF + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Flying Vapor Thrust In mid-air;F,D,DF + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Stun Dipper QCF + KICK Crescent Slash QCB + KICK -[Overdrives]- Ride the Lightning HCB,F + HEAVY SLASH -[Instant Kill]- RISING FORCE QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH ______________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••POTEMKIN•••••••••• Height: 8'0 Weight: 1,446 lbs. Blood type: O Eye color: White Birthday: October 18 Birthplace: The floating continent, Zepp Hobbies: Drawing pictures Likes: Indestructible imperial pencil cases Dislikes: Pencils that can't endure four tons of weight Personal Info: Fiercely proud and pure of heart. His giant, overpowering mass conceals a warm, gentle character, in love with all of nature. Justice is his creed, and he cannot bear to see other people suffer-even if he himself suffers the most.Always faces up to any adversity in his way, but never fights merely for the pleasure of hurting others. <<>> Potemkin is a former slave soldier of Zepp, a militaristic nation that maintains a society based on science and technology. Having taken the rest of the slave soldiers hostage, he was sentenced by his superior to enter the Tournament. During the Tournament,he learned that a coup d'etat was in progress. In the end, the coup d'etat succeeded and Zepp was freed from its dictatorship. President Gabriel, Potemkin's former instructor, summoned him for a secret mission; to protect a Gear from the bounty hunters and bring it back safely to Zepp.Though Potemkin is unable to discern the mission's true motive,he decides to trust his former master, and accepts the mission. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Mega Fist QCF + PUNCH Mega Fist 2 QCB + PUNCH Sliding Head QCF + SLASH Hammer Fall hold B,F + HEAVY SLASH Potemkin Buster Up close;HCB,F + PUNCH Heat Knuckle F,D,DF + HEAVY SLASH --->Addition HCB + HEAVY SLASH -[Overdrives]- Gigantor HCB,F + HEAVY SLASH Gigantic Bullet during Gigantor;HCF,HCF + PUNCH Heavenly Potemkin Buster QCF,QCF + SLASH -[Instant Kill]- MAGNUM OPERA QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH _________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••Chipp Zanuff•••••••••• Height: 6'0 Weight: 148 lbs. Blood type: B Eye color: Red Birthday: February 9 Birthplace: Insists on Japan (actually, it's America) Hobbies: Dreaming Likes: Sleeping pills Dislikes: Nightmares, the Mafia, gangs, the Yakuza Personal Info: Short in patience and long in fighting spirit. Takes a survival-of-the- fittest approach to life, and looks for the easy way out of everything except fighting, where his strategies are always exceptionally well thought out. Often flies into rages over trifling matters, although he's been working hard to hold his temper in check under his former master's admonitions. Wishes he could get himself to help others more often. Has a keen interest in Japanese culture from his former master, and possesses an image of that country that has little to do with reality. <<>> In his youth, Chipp was addicted to drugs and worked for the Mafia as a drug trafficker.Eventually, his drug dependency worsened to the point where he could no longer perform his job. No longer needed by the Mafia,Chipp was to be disposed of when a ninja, who later became his teacher,rescued him. Chipp began to open up to the man who saved his life, and became his apprentice. But that peace was short-lived, as eventually, the Mafia killed the ninja. Trembling in anger, Chipp vowed to take revenge on the Mafia. Unable to reach the final rounds in the previous Tournament, he learned that his heart, skills and strength were still lacking, and devoted himself even more to his training. Upon witnessing Justice's death, Chipp realized that deep down, even this monster that massacred countless people was searching for help. This made him think about what a true helping hand was. Now, he is once again ready to do battle for that which might truly save him, and so,he focuses his interest on the story of the Gear. <>> -[Special Moves]- Alpha Blade QCF + PUNCH(OK during jump) Beta Blade F,D,DF + SLASH(OK during jump) Gamma Blade HCF + HEAVY SLASH Teleportation D,D + PUNCH or KICK or SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Deceiver QCB + KICK Leaf Slash HCF + KICK Fire Blade QCF + SLASH --->Addition QCF + SLASH --->Addition QCF + KICK Corkscrew In mid-air;D + KICK -[Overdrives]- Invisible Death HCB,F + HEAVY SLASH Blade Rush QCF,QCF + KICK -[Instant Kill]- DELTA END QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••MILLIA RAGE•••••••••• Height: 5'7 Weight: 106 lbs. Blood type: B Eye color: Blue Birthday: Unknown (Millia is an orphan) Birthplace: Village of the assassins (Russia) Hobbies: Playing with cats Likes: Virtue Dislikes: Zato, losing hair Personal Info: A cold, reticent woman, nothing ever appears to interest her. Indifferent towards her feminine side, perhaps because of her assassin upbringing. Sees everything in terms of black or white, and rarely makes a wrong decision. Although her mind is like a machine, there is still a little human left in her,and she is tormented inside by the recluse she has become. <<>> Losing both of her parents when she was still a child, Millia was trained by a group of assassins to use her hair as weapon. However, her conscience would not allow her to murder innocent people, and as a result, she left the organization. Being constantly pursued by the assassins, she decided that it was more efficient to put an end to the organization than to run away from it. She entered the tournament to defeat Zato, the assassins' leader. Her plan was technically a success and she did gain her freedom, but her feelings-the guilt of causing her former master to be overtaken by a shadow and the fear of having to confront him again-still troubled her. Finally, out of her agony came a conclusion… "I must finish him off, once and for all." <<>> -[Special Moves]- Lust Shaker repeatedly tap SLASH Tandem Top QCF + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Bad Moon In mid-air;QCF + PUNCH Maximum Velocity In mid-air;QCF + KICK Forward Roll QCB + KICK Iron Saber QCB + PUNCH Secret Garden QCB + HEAVY SLASH --->Addition D-Pad + HEAVY SLASH -[Overdrives]- Winger QCB,HCF + HEAVY SLASH Emerald Rain QCF,QCF + SLASH -[Instant Kill]- IRON MAIDEN QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH ________________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••ZATO-1ONE•••••••••• Height: 5'11 Weight: 150 lbs. Blood type: A Eye color: Originally blue Birthday: January 28 Birthplace: Village of the Assassins (Spain) Hobbies: Attempting to understand the language of the flowers Likes: Pride Dislikes: Women Personal Info: A true assassin, cool-headed and brutal. His speech is moderate and prudent, but also scathing enough to show the listener who's boss. This is just an act of self-preservation, however, and deep down he is just another timid (or, to put it another way, vain) young man. There is still some goodwill left lurking within his heart. <<>> Zato, the leader of an international organization of assassins, gained the ability to manipulate shadows in exchange for his vision. Originally a lowly assassin, he gained new power through a forbidden ritual, which allowed him to rise to his present position. The repeated battles of the last Tournament took their toll on him, however, and a shadow seized control of his body. The shadow was cognizant that it was created as a weapon and that its intentions of murder and destruction were only programmed instincts. It had developed a will of its own-the ability to break away from its cursed fate. This newborn soul could not understand humans, and was filled with loneliness. While in search for others like it, the shadow came across the rumor of the Gear. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Invite Hell D,D + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Break the Law QCB + KICK(hold down button to remain underground) Summon Eddie QCF + PUNCH or KICK or SLASH or HEAVY SLASH -With Eddie Summoned- --Eddie Stab PUNCH --Eddie Uppercut SLASH --Eddie Surprise HEAVY SLASH --Eddie Chainsaw KICK Drunkard Shade QCB + SLASH Damned Fang F,D,DF + SLASH -[Overdrives]- Amorphous HCB,F + HEAVY SLASH Megalith Head With Eddie summoned;HCB,F + SLASH The Executor In mid-air;QCF,QCF + SLASH -[Instant Kill]- BLACK IN MIND QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH ________________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••MAY•••••••••• Height: 5'2 Weight: 104 lbs. Blood type: B Eye color: Black Birthday: May 5 (the day Johnny found her) Birthplace: Unknown Hobbies: Thinking about Johnny Likes: Johnny Dislikes: Baldness Personal Info: A mischievous and happy-go-lucky young girl. Her values are based completely around her consuming love for Johnny. (If Johnny was on one side of a scale and everyone else in the world were on the other, Johnny would still weigh more in her eyes.) This pure and childlike exterior belies untold strength; she can hoist up a ship's anchor by herself. Simple-minded and selfish, nothing can stop her once she gets an idea into her head. <<>> Having lost her parents at a young age, May was picked up by the pirate Johnny and raised as a chivalrous bandit. Though she lived a rough life, over time she came to be charmed by her new guardian's kindness and broadmindedness. Ever since, her life has become completely dedicated to Johnny, and her reunion with him after the last Tournament brought her much happiness. One day, as Johnny's birthday was nearing, the crew decided to give him a present as a sign of their appreciation. Compelled by her growing feelings for him, May decided to give him a gift personally, in addition to the crew's gift. The problem was, she didn't have money... Soon after, she learned of the huge bounty put on the Gear, and decided to head for the new Tournament. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Mr. Dolphin! Horizontal hold B,F + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Mr. Dolphin!

Treats herself with kid gloves, but rains down hatred upon anyone weaker or more indecisive than her. (Rock stars, though, are excepted from this.) Although she may seem hung up on all the ideals she holds dear, she is actually a stark realist, able to look at things from a more ironic perspective. She uses this to hide her true self from others. Her singular battle style is a result of harsh observation and a strong belief that her way, and only her way, is the best. <<>> Huma and Hanagata were both top-ranking restaurants in China, but their approaches were completely different. Huma's pride was in bringing joy to its customers through cooking filled with love, while Hanagata emphasized creating the most exquisite dishes using only the highest- quality ingredients. Even though they opposed each other like oil and water, they were both restaurants of high repute that every cook aspired to work for. Neither of these philosophies made any sense to Jam. She believed that their policies were nothing but hindrances to bringing delicious dishes to everyone. To prove that she was right, she needed to start her own restaurant. To obtain seed money, she seeks out the reward for eliminating the dangerous Gear. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Breath of Asanagi D,D + SLASH or KICK or HEAVY SLASH (powers up her 3 KICK button special moves) Ryujin QCF + KICK Gekerin QCB + KICK Kenrokaku F,D,DF + KICK Bakushu QCF + SLASH --->Addition PUNCH --->Addition SLASH --->Addition HEAVY SLASH --->Addition KICK Hochifu QCB + SLASH Bicycle Kick In mid-air;D + KICK -[Overdrives]- Psycho Burst HCB,F + HEAVY SLASH Rise of the Phoenix HCB,F + SLASH -[Instant Kill]- 8 WAYS TO DIE QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH ________________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••BAIKEN•••••••••• Height: 5'4 Weight: 99 lbs. Blood type: B Eye color: Peach Birthday: March 5 Birthplace: Pre-destruction Japan Hobbies: Drinking Likes: Tokkuri (Sake bottles) Dislikes: Tanuki statues Personal Info: A spirited woman and a devoted martial artist. Her femininity has been suppressed in the wake of her supreme goal. Gets in fights over tiny matters; shoots first and asks questions later. Holds her beliefs firmly, and will argue with anyone who disagrees with her to the bitter end. At the same time, though, she is capable of changing her mind if she's obviously wrong. <<>> 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 burned into her memory was the image of a man standing in flames, surrounded by his creations. Standing amidst the Gears, he silently gazed upon young Baiken. She became acutely aware, even in the absence of evidence, that he was an enemy. Her memory of this event has not faded; she can vividly recall the carnage every time she closes her eyes. She continues on her quest to find "The Man," to exact her revenge... her people's revenge on him. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Tatami Gaeshi QCF + KICK -Counterattacks-(all done while guarding) --Zakuro QCB + PUNCH --Mawarikomi QCB + KICK --Sakura QCB + SLASH Bonzai Run HCB + KICK Murder Fan In mid-air;F,D,DF + SLASH -[Overdrives]- Cross Three Toads QCF,QCF + SLASH Turtle Curse while guarding;HCB + PUNCH Rin Curse while guarding;HCB + SLASH Dragon Curse while guarding;HCB + HEAVY SLASH Phoenix Curse while guarding;HCB + KICK -[Instant Kill]- MIDNIGHT ASSASSIN QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH _______________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••FAUST•••••••••• Height: 9'3 Weight: 121 lbs. Blood type: Unknown Eye color: Fluorescent Birthday: Unknown Birthplace: Unknown Hobbies: Unknown Likes: Unknown Dislikes: Unknown Personal Info: Unknown <<>> Faust was once a good man and a great surgeon-one of the best in the world. After committing a simple mistake that cost a young female patient her life, his mind broke and he went on a murderous rampage. He was captured and sent to a dimensional prison after taking the lives of scores of innocent people using the most indescribable of means. The previous Tournament gave him a second lease on life, and now he has returned to his former self. Wishing to punish himself for his past, Faust resolved to take his own life. Not only would this act finally atone for his sins, but he realized it was the only way he would be able to escape the painful feelings that haunted him day and night. But just as he was about to end it all, Faust learned that the young girl's death so long ago was no accident, but rather a cold-blooded murder carried out by a third party. Finally seeing the light, he now sets out on a new journey to discover the truth behind the girl, saving as many lives as he can along the way. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Thrust HCF + KICK --->Addition B --->Addition QCF + PUNCH x3 What's Next?

Blood type: O Eye color: Blue Birthday: October 24 Birthplace: America Hobbies: Chasing beautiful women Likes: His cherished guitar collection Dislikes: Guys who don't "get" jokes Personal Info: Light-hearted in spirit and florid in tongue. Endlessly chasing after women. His apparent aloofness to the world is just a part of his foppish demeanor, and he is far more shrewd than he appears. Both knowledgeable and experienced, he can get past any tight situation without so much as breaking a sweat. <<>> When Johnny was thirteen, his father-the only person who cared for him-was killed by a Gear. Johnny's reluctance to open his heart to others became stronger after this incident; his fear of losing love again forced him to withdraw into himself. One day, he discovered that there were many other orphans just like him, and came to realize that they might not be strong enough to continue on living. From then on, Johnny chose to follow his father's path and live as a man of compassion. It doesn't matter to him if they are humans, animals, or even Gears; it is his duty to help those in need. Johnny decides to visit the Gear in person, to see if he can offer support. He hides his intentions from his crew, telling them that he is going after the bounty. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Mist Finer QCF + PUNCH or KICK or SLASH Glittering Gold QCF + HEAVY SLASH Bacchus Sigh QCB + PUNCH Divine Blade F,D,DF + SLASH(OK during jump) -[Overdrives]- Johnny Special HCB,F + HEAVY SLASH -[Instant Kill]- JOKER TRICK QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH _______________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••ANJI MITO•••••••••• Height: 6' Weight: 150 lbs. Blood type: B Eye color: Black Birthday: January 1 Birthplace: Pre-destruction Japan Hobbies: Vigorous sports, traveling Likes: Faith, freedom Dislikes: Obstinance, deception Personal Info: Just as his fighting style is smooth and dancelike, his actions are dictated more by feeling than by logic. His character is a combination of movement and silence. A straightforward man, he worries little of future consequences before acting-not because of optimism, but simply because he rarely thinks things through enough. Has little sense of justice, but isn't hung up about fighting against what rubs him. Enjoys playfully needling people as a way to seem friendly. <<>> Anji is one of the few that have inherited the precious Japanese blood. Because there are only a handful of Japanese in this time period, they are under government protection. Thus, they are viewed as international treasures, and do not receive the same treatment as regular citizens. Within the Japanese community, there are those that accept this treatment, and those that reject it. Anji is part of the latter; rather than being concerned about the preservation of his race, he wants to regain his freedom as a human being. Because of this, he disguises his nationality and travels the world in pursuit of "The Man"-the creator of the Gears and the one responsible for the destruction of the Japanese people. However, he pursues him not out of hatred or revenge... <<>> -[Special Moves]- Shitsu QCF + PUNCH Fujin QCF + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH --->Addition PUNCH --->Addition SLASH --->Addition KICK On F,D,DF + HEAVY SLASH Kai QCB + PUNCH or KICK Shin Nishiki In mid-air;QCB + PUNCH -[Overdrives]- The Clapper HCB,F + HEAVY SLASH -[Instant Kill]- DRAGON LIGHT QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH ________________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••VENOM•••••••••• Height: 5'10 Weight: 146 lbs. Blood type: A Eye color: Blue Birthday: Unknown (Venom is an orphan) Birthplace: Village of the assassins (England) Hobbies: Reading, Chess Likes: Zato, sympathy Dislikes: Blood, those who oppose Zato Personal Info: Although he works as an assassin, his mind is pure and he has trouble hiding things from others. His actions are calm and scientific, but his thoughts are more on the romantic side. Raised in a cold environment, he has few desires in life other than to preserve his own while he searches for some meaning to his existence. His hatred of murder comes from the heart, and taking human lives outside of work is tough for him to bear. <<>> Orphaned at a young age, Venom was taken under the wing of a group of assassins. However, his sensibilities hindered his growth as an assassin. As time passed, he pondered the meaning of his existence. Before long, the organization saw him as worthless and ordered him to be executed. However, just prior to his execution, Zato, the new leader of the organization, recognized Venom's talent and spared his life. Venom pledged his loyalty to Zato out of deep gratitude for saving his life and giving him his raison d'etre. Zato soon fell out of favor, though, and rumors of his disloyalty abounded. Venom, who had served as Zato's right-hand man for many years, knew that this slander was not true, but the evidence against him was very strong. As doubts continue to rise, Venom receives some information regarding someone thought to be Zato, and departs to investigate. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Stinger Aim hold B,F + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Carcass Raid hold D,U + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Ball Formation HCB + PUNCH or KICK or SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Double Head Morbid F,D,DF + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Mad Struggle In mid-air;QCF + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Warp F,D,DF + KICK (when a ball is out,warps you to its position) -[Overdrives]- Dark Angel QCB,HCF + SLASH Red Hail In mid-air;QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH -[Instant Kill]- DIM BOMBER QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH ________________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••AXL LOW•••••••••• Height: 5'10 Weight: 172 lbs. Blood type: B Eye color: Blue Birthday: December 25 Birthplace: England Hobbies: Billiards Likes: His girlfriend from his own time (Megumi) Dislikes: Preachy types Personal Info: The eternal optimist. Rarely thinks deeply about matters, believing that ]everything works out eventually. His lust for amour knows no bounds. He does have the ability to calmly examine and solve problems, but that's just not his style. A kind man by nature, he can never find it in his heart to kill anyone-not even the most evil of villains. <<>> Axl actually hails from the 20th century. Born in the slums, he placed himself in the middle of gang warfare to bring peace to the area, and with his extraordinary physical prowess he was able to achieve his goal- without any casualties-in six months time. Some time later, due to a cruel twist of fate, he was forced to travel 150 years into the future. Hoping to gain passage back to his own time, he entered the Tournament. Instead, he was sent to another time period for a year's time. During that period, he was bounced around in the time-space continuum for an equivalent of three years. Throughout his journey, he learned that in each time period, there were always rumors of another time traveler like him. Axl believed that by pursuing the traveller known as "The Man," he could come upon a way to go back to his own time once and for all. Sensing the presence of "The Man" behind the incident with the Gear, he decides to check it out for himself. <<>> -[Special Moves]- Benten Gari F,D,DF + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH --->Addition F,D,DF + HEAVY SLASH Rensen Geki hold B,F + SLASH --->Addition U --->Addition D Rasho Sen hold B,F + HEAVY SLASH Tenhou Seki QCB + PUNCH Raiei Sageki HCB + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Axl Bomber In mid-air;F,D,DF + HEAVY SLASH -[Overdrives]- Hyakue Renshou QCF,HCB + HEAVY SLASH -[Instant Kill]- TANGLED TORMENT QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH ________________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••TESTAMENT•••••••••• Height: 6'1 Weight: 161 lbs. Blood type: Analysis Failed Eye color: Red Birthday: May 9 Birthplace: Switzerland Hobbies: Thinking Likes: Kliff Underson, potatoes Dislikes: Sol, Saitou-style martial arts Personal Info: A gentle-hearted and charitable man, willing to sacrifice everything to help others. He especially likes children, and has taken in several orphans in the past. To him, a criminal should not be punished for his crime, but forced to reassess his evil ways instead. His curiosity knows no bounds, but his hatred of violence borders on phobia. <<>> Testament was involved in a conspiracy and converted to a Gear irrespective of his intention. Bearing strong willpower, he managed to maintain his consciousness and memory but was forced to conform with the command of "mankind erasure" which was implanted compulsorily, and as such, he turned his fang to mankind. With the death of Justice in the previous Tournament, Testament recovered his original character but was tortured by the depth of his sins and felt despaired to live on his life as a human being. He wandered around in despair, until one day he got lost in the woods and stumbled upon a place the people called "the devil's living place." It was there that Testament met Dizzy. After hearing the narrative of her life, her existence became his reason to live. The only thing he could do is protect her from enemies. Not for the destruction of his opponents but rather "to protect his precious one," Testament holds his scythe once again... <<>> -[Special Moves]- Eye in the Sky QCF + PUNCH or KICK Grave Digger QCF + PUNCH Devil Raid HCF + SLASH or HEAVY SLASH Nightmare QCB + SLASH(poisons opponent when it connects) -[Overdrives]- Phantom Release HCB,F + HEAVY SLASH(poisons opponent) -[Instant Kill]- BROKEN HEART QCF,QCF + HEAVY SLASH _______________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••DIZZY•••••••••• Height: 5'6 Weight: 123 lbs. Blood type: Analysis Failed Eye color: Reddish Brown Birthday: December 25 (unconfirmed) Birthplace: Unknown Hobbies: Grooming her wings Likes: Foster parents, forest animals Dislikes: Poachers Personal Info: Born from a Gear and a human. Her growth has been dramatic, and despite her appearance, she's only just turned three years old. Her thirst for knowledge is ravenous, however, and her mental age is already above 20. Separated from others, her distrust of humans is the only blemish upon her soul. Enjoys interacting with nature and other people, but hates warfare with a passion. Far from a pacifist, though, she sees the existence of humans and their destruction of the environment as just a part of a natural cycle-one that's dealt her a cruel fate to fight against. <<>> It is said that when Dizzy was abandoned in the village as an orphan, she was just a human child. An old couple with no one to depend on took care of her. After half a year, the people of the village became scared of her because of the speed at which her body and mind developed. One day, Dizzy found that she had wings and a tail. It was then that the villagers decided to expel her as a Gear. But her foster parents did not agree, so they hid her in the woods, away from the people of the village. She was placed in an area called "the devil's living place," a place that no one dared to approach. Living alone there in a cave, her shelter was eventually discovered by humans and she was put away in confinement. The humans tried to hurt her several times but she always drove them away without seriously wounding anyone. To escape the cruel abuse, Dizzy finally decided to leave her dear old home... <<>> -[Special Moves]- Blue Scythe QCF + SLASH Ice Needle QCF + HEAVY SLASH Electro Spear B,D,DB + SLASH Ice Devil QCF + PUNCH or KICK or SLASH or HEAVY SLASH -[Overdrives]- Hellfire HCB,F + SLASH Death Archer DF,HCF,B,F + PUNCH Ultimate Doom F,B,F,HCF + HEAVY SLASH Dizzy does not have an Instant Kill. _______________________________________________________________________ ••••••••••GEAR KY•••••••••• Height: 5'10 Weight: 300 lbs.

Guilty Gear Mode.This is probably the place in the game where you will have most of your fun.Also,it seems no one has covered this subject in-depth in any of their FAQs yet,so I thought I'd contribute.In this mode, the battles are noticeably faster paced and much more feirce.First off,here is a list of the immediate changes in GG Mode: --Air Dashing can be done extremely close to the ground --Nearly all basic attacks can be jump-cancelled --Some characters recieve new abilities --Some characters recieve enhanced abilities --Ky Kiske is replaced with Gear Ky Alright,now that we've got that down,here is a list of new and enhanced abilities for each character.Now keep in mind,not all the characters receive new and enhanced abilities.Some of them only receive enhancements to their overall movement or speed. <<>> [New Abilities] --None [Enhanced Abilities] --Heavy Bandit Revolver Does A LOT more hits and looks much cooler.

     So there you have it.Guilty Gear Mode in all its awesome glory.
This mode is very fun.Check below on how to unlock it.I personally think
there should have been more enhancements to each character,but I suppose
that's made up for with the Shadow characters.I'll explain that later.^_^

UNLOCK TESTAMENT & DIZZY

The easy way:
---At the title screen,press D,F,F,U,START.You should hear Dizzy's voice
as a confirmation.

The real way:
---Enter Survival Mode.When you reach Survival Level 20,you will face
Daredevil Testament.Defeat him to unlock him.At Survival Level 30,you
will face Daredevil Dizzy.Defeat her to unlock her.

SPECIAL BATTLE INTRODUCTIONS
---At the beginning of a battle,there is a small quarrel between
certain characters.Some of them are actually pretty cool,too.

Millia vs. Zato-1One
Venom vs. Zato-1One
Johnny vs. May
Sol Badguy vs. Axl Low
Sol Badguy vs. Ky Kiske
Sol Badguy vs. Dizzy

THE COSTUMES
---Each character in Guilty Gear X has about 10 different costumes.
Some of them are downright awesome.Some of them are not.Also,most of
the good ones are unlocked in Survival Mode.I personally think the
Guilty Gear costumes are the best.They are noticable by their unusually
bright coloring and sharper lines with a slightly 3-D look.Also,the
Shadow costumes are great,as they are the best as far as enhancements
go.Here are all the button combinations that reveal new costumes.

1•SQUARE
2•TRIANGLE
3•CIRCLE
4•X
5•START(Gold Costume once unlocked)
6•SQUARE + TRIANGLE
7•SQUARE + X
8•X + CIRCLE
9•TRIANGLE + CIRCLE
10•hold START(Shadow Costume once unlocked)

---Here are the effects of the costumes.
GOLD COSTUME
•Speed is increased
•Damage is increased
•Defense is increased

SHADOW COSTUME
•Speed is doubled
•Damage is doubled
•Defense is doubled
•INFINITE TENSION GAUGE!!!

UNLOCKING COSTUMES
---Gold costumes are unlocked by completing Survival Mode.The Shadow
costumes are obtained by completing Survival Mode in under 10 minutes.
All other hidden colors are unlocked by defeating an opponent wearing
that particular costume during Survival Mode.Once that battle is over,
regardless of whether or not you win,that costume becomes selectable.

UNLOCK GUILTY GEAR MODE
1st Way---Set the Time Limit to 60 seconds.With Testament and Dizzy
already unlocked,clear Arcade Mode without losing a single round or using
a continue.Then Guilty Gear Mode will be in the Options Menu under "Game
Options".It can be set to affect only 1P or 2P,or both.
2nd Way---Clear Survival Mode.

ENDLESS SURVIVAL MODE
---Once you defeat Daredevil Zato-1One at the end of Survival Mode,press
and hold all 4 shoulder buttons.You will continue fighting in "Endless
Survival Mode".It is extremely difficult,as you will face some new,harder
opponents.This includes Shadow characters.This also includes the very EVIL
Daredevil Johnny and Daredevil Sol.Daredevil Johnny's Mist Finer can kill
you in ONE hit.Daredevil Sol is ALWAYS in Dragon Install.Have fun.^_^

This section is all about my favorite characters,and also some help in
picking your favorites or picking characters that are best suited for
a particular portion of the game.Believe me,with a game like this,chances
are everyones top 5 will be different.I hope this may help some of you
out with that though.

MY TOP 5 CHARACTERS

[01]. BAIKEN
---I just simply love Baiken.OK,so she's a very complicated character,but
once you get used to her unique fighting style and master her,you WILL be
killing people hard.Her moves are fantastic,she has just the right amount
of range,and her counterattacks can really get you out of a serious jam
when used correctly.Her overdrives are something else,I tell you.One is
simple yet VERY efective>It involves dashing forward while executing 3
very powerful slashes.The other is her ultimate counter.This awesome move
has 4 different forms,one for each attack button.One of them disables your
opponents ability to use special moves,and another even disables their
ability to jump!This Overdrive can and will turn the tables in your favor
VERY quickly.It's all in how you use her,basically.Plus,what could possibly
be better or more intimidating then a one-armed one-eyed samurai??

[02]. CHIPP ZANUFF
---Ok,first thing's first.CHIPP IS FAST.Like,unbelievably fast,especially
once you master him.With his array of moves,and the right hands,you can
take out your opponents before they even know what happened.^_^His moves
are all useful in their own way,his Overdrives are very potent,and his
speed and manueverability is simply unmatched.His ONLY weakness in my opinion
is his extremely low defense.This is no major gripe,as his speed and ability
to easily confuse his opponents more than make up for that.

[03]. JAM KURADOBERI
---Jam is totally cool.While not as useful and potent as the others I use,she
is very fun to play with,and has some very nice moves.Plus she can be funny
at times.The main thing most people overlook is that her 3 main special moves
can be "supercharged",put simply.This is done with Breath of Asanagi.Those 3
moves,when charged up,can easily end a match in the right hands.Her moves are
are very specific in a sense,but this is a good thing.No matter what,she ALWAYS
has a move that can completely avoid or even counteract any move dished out to
her.Her overdrives aren't bad either.The Psycho Burst is more useful as a
counter attack then anything else,but a good one at that.Rise of the Phoenix
is a very flashy supercombo ending in an upwards attack with a phoenix exploding
over the whole scene.All in all a great character,although her range is a bit
short,but not enough to call her a short-ranged fighter,as she has a few long
range attacks.

[04]. DIZZY
---Dizzy is just plain cool.As far as actual fighting goes,I still prefer the
others,but Dizzy has one of my favorite character designs in the game.She is
also a complete powerhouse.If you are not extremely careful,she will annihilate
you in seconds.She has a varied stabled of moves,all with good range.Her Overdrives
are very very powerful,and quite awesome as well.They have to be,to make up for the
fact that she doesn't have an Instant Kill like the rest.One is very very long range,
one is very short range,and her last one is a real kicker.If you can get it off(it
requires a full Tension Gauge!!),then say buh-bye to that opponent of yours.Ultimate
Doom,when it connects,hits an astounding 29 times,and will take off about 3/4 of
their life bar!Overall,Dizzy is the reigning queen of coolness,and can kill in
seconds when used correctly.

[05]. MILLIA RAGE
---I present to you my anger character,a.k.a. the character I use when I get rocked
evn with my best characters.It is pure coincidence that my anger character's last
name happens to be Rage,but it adds a nice touch.^_^When mastered,she can downright
piss you off beyond belief.Bad Moon is just plain cheap.It frustrates people like
you wouldn't believe.Used in conjunction with Maximum Velocity and Iron Saber,it
is bound to not only anger your opponent,but give them a slow painful death as well.
They don't do a terribly large amount of damage,which is the trade off for them
being nearly unavoidable and unpredictable.Millia is also the second fastest
character in the game,after Chipp of course.Her speed combined with Bad Moon
makes her a deadly adversary.Besides,she fights with her hair.That's just cool.

---If you want to clear Arcade Mode very quickly,use Potemkin and his Instant Kill.
If you use it correctly,you wil fly through arcade mode like it was nothing.

---For Survival Mode,I highly recommend Dizzy.She is the only one i could beat it
with.Not even with Baiken could I clear the EVIL Survival Mode.This is mainly
because her moves make the AI retarded.Try this combo to start with:

QCB + HEAVY SLASH,dash in,KICK,SLASH,SLASH,QCF + HEAVY SLASH,dash in,F + HEAVY
SLASH---This combo is very very effective in Survival Mode,although it won't
get you through all of it.Also,start performing the QCF + HEAVY SLASH command
during the 2nd SLASH,so it comes out immediately afterwards without delay.
On top of that,make sure that 2nd SLASH lasts long enough to push Dizzy back
far enough,otherwise the QCF + HEAVY SLASH will not hit them,as it has a set
range.You need to be about sweep distance.Keep this up,and add your own flavor,
and you should be fine.Good luck!
