Wrist Tiring Fun (Guilty Gear XX Accent Core)

Ah...I come home and sit down after a boring morning full of routines and classwork. My eyes barely open, wishing for a long nap to let the day go by in order to speed up the same zombie routine over and over again. Sleeping can take away a lot from somebody's day, especially if their energy can be spent doing something else.

Video games. A great way to invite people over and beat the crap out of each other while talking about how the day went. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core is a great example of this. Full of rocking roll music, wacky yet cool characters, and different move sets, I find myself having a blast beating the crap out of other people and computers. Even characters who I hate I even find fun in playing as them. What fighting game could ever do that?

There are endless amounts of ways to play as a character. One way or another, someone out there will find a way to play as a character. That's what people call strategy and the cast of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core are full of strategy. Figuring out how you might draw a person in through mind games is a lot more fun then trying to beat the crap out of them. Why not mess with their minds a little? Look like you might do one thing but do the other.

There is a lot of variety in the music. Even if someone hates rock 'n roll, they might find themselves rocking to the creative sounds of some of the character's themes. I don't know how someone can manage to fit both rock n roll and classic music together in A.B.A.'s theme but they sure did.

Anyone into Street Fighter may want to look at this game as Street Fighter isn't the ONLY 2-D game out there. There are a lot of things that I love in this game more than Street Fighter. Each character is origonal. I-No is a rock n' Roll witch who uses her guitar to fight. Bridget is a boy dressed as a nun who uses a yo-yo and a teddy bear full of razors to fight! There are a numerous amount of combos that a person can use depending on how they use a character. Like a person can manage a three hit combo with Ky while another person can manage an eleven hit combo with the same character! Plus the best thing is you can hit people on the ground and not have to wait for them to take their presious time getting up! That's always a bonus for me. Use the over drive moves in an combo and we got a good game here! Get tired of someone and just use an instant death move on them. But have that move fail and your ability to do an over drive move disappears for that round! So be careful.

Of course with all 2-D cames, Guilty Gear can take a toll on one's wrist and fingers. I suggest taking your time with the direction pad before hitting one of the action buttons to perform a special move. At least that's what I'm doing...now. Ouch!
