The Guilty Gear vacation arc.

The best character in the game? The stylish, hard to play mids dispenser. Pote/Axl/Zato? Bottom tier, get that shit out of here. (I don't actually have a problem with any of these characters tbh) Venom? They let him do more cool shit than in +R somehow. Faust? Basically the same character as before (perfect). Don't wanna learn how to perform hard parries? Don't even worry about it, blitz shield has you covered. Danger time? You better believe it's still here, and just as stupid as ever.

Rev 2's in a really good state for a game without any updates in the forseeable future, especially with the rollback update. It's not perfect, nor is the port even as good as +R's and it'll probably degrade as time goes on. As a competitive game, it's different (in really cool ways) that, even though I still prefer +R, Xrd is game I regularly put time into and I'm glad that it has its own unique flavor. It still needs a lot of quality of life fixes that +R enjoys, and while I think the balance is better than something like Centralfiction, the lower half of the roster really could use a bit of love.

I wasn't around for Xrd's entire lifespan, there might be more frustrations to be had with the game if you were, in the same way that I can't stand Strive, and that's understandable. I still think Xrd rules for what it is, and I don't see the game going away anytime soon. If you're on the fence and see the game on sale, pick it up.
