« More details uncovered for Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 »

Information intended for an upcoming issue of Famitsu has been released online, giving fans more more insight into the changes and release details of Rev 2.

For starters, the download version of Rev 2 will cost 2000 yen, which is roughly $17.75. There is no estimated console release date for the title, with 2017 remaining the only indicator.

As for the new characters in Rev 2, Baiken's only has one counter move that replaces all her old guard cancels. According to translations by Greanfernman, Baiken "is hard to deal with as an opponent, and might be confusing as a new character, so simplicity was stressed in her design." She will retain her other moves, but it remains to be seen how they will function. Answer, meanwhile, uses business cards and scrolls in his move set. The scrolls he places and can attack from using different specials, while he throws business cards like shuriken and can either teleport to their location or create clones from them.

Existing characters will also see tweaks, with examples including a lowered crouching hitbox for Potemkin, Ramlethal getting one or several new moves and Axl's sparrowhawk stance getting changed "in concept." For the complete translation, head over to Evernote.
