-----------------------------
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 AceAreWild231@aol.com.
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  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 tilda  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.

Weight: 68 KG
Blood Type: B

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 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.

Height: 162 CM

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.

/_______________________------------------------------______________________\
Height: 183 CM
Weight: 67 KG
Blood Type: B
Eye Color: Red
Birthday: February 9
Origin: Insists on Japan (Actually, USA)
Hobby: Dreaming
A former drug  trafficker and  addict, Chipp entered  the previous tournament
To take revenge against the Mafia for killing his master, who saved his life
And taught him the ways and beliefs of the Ninja. But during battles, Chipp
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.

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.

appear and do a lot of damage.  Some chests
will also contain this grim reaper. It is a
gamble on the opponent's life.
This Week's Climax             -  Sets opponent on a table  and rigs  it with
an explosive.

Hobby: Cooking, Observation, and Research
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.
