What about it? I've got the Japanese PS2 version...

It's a modest upgrade, so if you're asking whether or not it'll hit NA, it's certainly possible but not likely. Since XX, they've gradually added 3 characters (a Robo Ky more distinguishable from Ky himself, Sora on crack who's name is like Aba or something I just can't remember, and Holy Order Sol). And of course more fine tuning to the normal characters.

They removed the story mode, and other than win quotes and move lists, the game is in English, so it's import friendly assuming you have the capabilities. It's really a fairly modest upgrade meant for the people really into the series. You may or may not even care for the new characters (I like Sol but am a little meh on Holy Order). It's nice to have the most fine tuned version, but I'll be a lot more excited when there's a full fledged sequel with some more story and RAVEN. XX has gotten so many incarnations that, like, SF2, I've almost given up on the idea of the sequel.

But at least there's Hokuto no Ken. That's one of the few fighting anime I'm not into, but that game looks killer. Probably the reason we're not getting the sequel to GG right now, but it's looking to be the next best thing. If Sammy did the same thing with Berserk, I would literally break into tears of joy.

Order Sol is mediocre at best for players, but as the boss, he's a monster.

Is he the boss? Man, I must get have gotten tired of the computer and quit before I ever got that far in Slash. That's what I get for playing the earlier incarnation so much. Boss I-no was such a joke after a while I kind of stopped bothering with Arcade Mode.

Boss I-no isn't actually all that hard in it. I don't know if I just got better, or if they actually toned her down. Either way, Order Sol was a lot harder for me.

people people calm down. for starters, boss-Ino was toned down, while, unless your playing style fits him, Order Sol was made to be weaker and more primitive than the sol we've come to know and love. Of course, Boss O-Sol is really hard. ABA is 1 of the best additions in my opinion, really original, but she doesnt remind me of sora, from the way she looks and runs with the Key shes more like a Haruko from FLCL.

Of course. Its well known that ARC Systems cares nothing for game balance.

Yeah gotta agree.
