NOTATIONS

7 8 9 - These represent the 8 directions of the joystick. These will be
4 5 6 used to Guilty Gears Massive amount of depth. Imagine "5" being
1 2 3 the center of an arcade stick.

So to clarify:

Forward = 6
Backward = 4
Up = 8
Down = 2
Down-Back = 1
Down-Forward = 3
Dragon Punch = 623
Quarter Circle = 236
Half Circle Forward = 41236
Up-Forward = 9
Up-Back = 7



A = Light
B = Middle
C = Heavy
D = Drive

OR

L = Light
M = Middle
H = Heavy
D = Drive



1) Health Bar: Displays your current health.
2) Barrier Gauge: The "Barrier Gauge" is needed for "barriers" that will defend you against the damage dealt by the enemy. The "Barrier Gauge" will refill over time.
3) Barrier Burst: Once per round, you have access to an "attack" which interrupts hit or block stun. You'll do a slight bit more damage in exchange, however, if you use it, you will have a lower defense modifier for the rest of the round!
4) Offense Gauge: This meter is similar to a see-saw: The more offensive you are to the opponent, the more the meter grows in your favor. When the meter is completely in your favor, the opponent is placed into a guard-break animation, allowing you to perform a combo.
5) Heat Counter: This showcases the number of hits performed in the combo. One important note to mention is that when a combo is "false", or could be recovered from, the word "HEAT" will turn a darker color!
6) Heat Gauge: The "Heat Gauge" is necessary for powerful attacks such as the "Distortion Drive". It is also necessary for a "Rapid Cancel". You can increase the "Heat Gauge" by landing an attack on the enemy.
7) Character Specific Gauges: You'll notice quite a few gauges here in this image that don't belong to Carl. This is to illustrate the location of different gauges! Some characters such as Tager, Rachal, Bang, Arakune and Carl use these meters to explain information otherwise unknown to the player. Below, you can see that Bang has an additional gauge which is used in his gameplay.

Characters:
There aren't that many characters when you compare them to SF, SSBB, or GGX, however, this roster is a good one giving most characters a variety of moves by combining buttons weather it be LP+HP or MP+LP ect.

Mechanics:

Barrier AB -
Barrier Crush - When Barrier Gauge hits 0, it is temporarily disabled and you will take extra damage until it comes back.
Barrier Burst ABCD - Equivalent to Bursts. Knocks enemy away and reduces your Barrier Gauge to 0, but temporarily raises your attack. Done by pressing all 4 buttons, and can only be used once per round.
Distortion Drives - Overdrives/Super Moves, uses 50% Heat Gauge.
Drive Button - Allows each character to perform a special action specific to that character, and is very important to how that character plays.
Rapid Cancel - Equivalent to Roman Cancels. Takes 50% Heat Gauge and is preformed by pressing Weak+Med+Strong.
Counter Assault - Equivalent to Dead Angle. Takes 50% Heat Gauge and is preformed by pushing forward+Weak+Med while guarding.
Recovery - Just like recovery in GG, except you can also do a "roll recover" when knocked from the air to the ground.
Throw/Throw Break - Done by pressing (Backward/Forward +) Weak+Med.
Astral Finish - ???


->All throws are comboable in BB, including 360s and supers (which should probably be fixed, at least for supers). All are more easily techable if they are comboed.

-> Throw breaks are easier than in GG.
