Taito featured multiple Spiritale figure reveals at WonFes 2025 Winter, and one of them ended up being a first look at the cute Bridget figure based on her Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R appearance. This is the first time an actual physical version of this product appeared, as the company only previously shared concept and announcement art. 

This figure will be a 1/7 scale model. That means it will probably be between eight and ten inches tall when it is finished. She has her nun’s coif and veil on her head and is wearing her blue and white dress. Her yo-yo is in her left hand. Roger the teddy bear is behind her. Her handcuff is also around her waist, as usual. The design is intended to replicate official art of the character from Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R.

Here’s how the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R figure of the character is looking so far:

Spiritale released another Guilty Gear Bridget figure not too long ago. However, that one was based on her Guilty Gear Strive look. It debuted in March 2024 worldwide. That was also a 1/7 scale figure, and it stood at over 10 inches tall.

There’s no release window for this Spiritale Bridget figure yet, and Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R is available on the Switch, PS3, Vita, Xbox 360, and PC.

Something people have been waiting to see fully implemented in Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R since November 2020 is here. The GGPO rollback netcode rolled out on the evening of December 22, 2020. Even better is that it doesn’t only improve the quality of the matches. It also lets you have six people in a room and see replays.

The GGPO is a priority, and it makes it easier to stay consistent. You can choose your delay, with Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R even recommending what you should choose. It also lets you know your ping and jitter. Which will be handy if you decide to go for the bigger rooms that will have two people playing and up to four people watching the fight.

You might want to keep track of the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R replays. The game is going to automatically record them. So if you want to share them or are worried about how much space they’ll take up, you may want to periodically clear out that folder.

Here are the full patch notes from Steam.

Added GGPO:

* Network mode now uses GGPO for online play!

* GGPO input delay can be set between 0 and 4 frames before battle by pressing left/right in a player room. A recommended delay depending on ping is displayed to the

(0-100ms: 0f, 101-180ms: 1f, >180ms: 2f). This setting is saved.

* During a network game, ping and jitter information are displayed in the upper-right corner.

Added player rooms:

* Network mode now s player rooms of up to six players!

* Anyone not playing will spectate the current match.

Added replay :

* A replay gallery is now accessible from the main menu! Single and team, offline and online games replays are automatically recorded after each match.

* Replays are saved in %PROFILE%DocumentsARC SYSTEM WORKSGGXXACReplays, and can be shared with other s.

New Training Mode features:

* [LEFT or RIGHT]+RESET: Reset to left/right corner.

* DOWN+RESET: Reset with player sides switched; can be combined with left or right.

Many more minor bug fixes, Quality of Life improvements and tweaks.

On a side note, public testing is still on going with a tester-version with log tracking and other tools at the public testing beta.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R is available on the PC and is $2.99 until January 5, 2021 as part of the Steam Winter Sale.

Arc System Works suspended Mike "MikeZ" Zaimont from an update he was working on for Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R. Gamasutra's Bryant Francis broke the story via direct communication with Arc System Works. Zaimont recently made racist statements and was accused of abuse, sexual harassment, and other misconduct.

On October 30, 2020, a representative from Arc System Works, Takeshi Yamanaka, confirmed Zaimont's suspension. Team French CaliBurst originally requested Zaimont's involvement, and Arc System Works contracted him to work on a rollback netcode patch for Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R. Mike Zaimont reportedly worked on the update until October 24, 2020.

Yamanaka clarified to Gamasutra:

Arc System Works has now agreed with Team French CaliBurst to suspend MikeZ's participation in development until he has addressed the outstanding matters.

When Gamasutra asked Yamanaka further about the timing for suspending him, he told the outlet:

It was decided on the basis of delivering the best service to our s, and putting the s as our utmost priority. In the ultimate interest of our fans waiting for the GGPO update, we express our utmost regret that we chose to overlook certain aspects of our harassment policy.

We have the expectation for MikeZ to resolve the allegations against him in good faith. Now that the development has came to a milestone, and with your [outreach], we thought it to be a good time for MikeZ to start working towards a resolution.

Mass resignations took place at Lab Zero Games back at the end of August 2020. A large amount of ex-staff made public statements on Twitter that Zaimont's misconduct was the reason for their resignations. Zaimont then fired all remaining staff and told Kotaku, "Unfortunately, Lab Zero was forced into layoffs because we were no longer able to meet our payroll obligations." This affected Indivisible's post-launch DLC. Several key staff ended up forming a new studio, Future Club, shortly after leaving Lab Zero Games.

GGPO is middleware that uses rollback networking. To give you a basic idea of how it works, instead of waiting for the players' inputs, GGPO does its best to predict and simulate the next moves so that when it happens, it happens without any delay. If the player doesn't input the actions as expected, it rolls back to the previous state by revising it to the current frame. Thus the term "rollback."

Arc System Works will share more details for the rollback network implementation coming to Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R and its public testing at a later date. For more technical details, check out an earlier progress report from the creators below:

Arc System Works has announced a patch for their fighting game Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus. The patch will upgrade the game to the latest version of Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus R currently installed in Japanese arcades.

Along with upgrading the game, the patch will also fix all bugs that have been discovered and improve usability.

Arc System Works has also given details surrounding the upgrade. The game will use a different title screen and interface, and the characters will be rebalanced. Kliff and Justice, who were illegal in tournaments, will be available as standard characters in Ranked Matches and Player Matches. In addition, you will be able to switch to the old version in the Game Settings screen. Ranking boards will also be available for both versions.

Details on Usability Improvements are:

• When you enter the character select screen, the cursor will highlight the last character selected (only in Network Mode).

• When you search for opponents online, the "Area" and "Connection Quality" settings will have stricter search conditions. Also, when you use a custom search for Ranked or Player Matches, the game will keep retrying until it finds an opponent (you can cancel the search at any time).

• For Ranked Matches, the game will notify you when it finds an opponent by sound and controller vibration. Also, the pre-match preparation screen will include an icon indicating your connection quality. When your opponent leaves the session, it will be preserved.

• For Player Matches, the game will notify you when a new player enters the room by sound and controller vibrations. When an opponent leaves the room, it will no longer dissolve.

The patch will be released for the PS3 sometime in the middle of August, while no date has been given for the Xbox 360 version.

Arc System Works turns 25 this year, and they’re celebrating their birthday with the Arc System Works Festival, featuring a big tournament called Arc Revo, short for Arc Revolution Cup. The official portal site of the event seems to have some sort of countdown which leads up to the day of the event.

Could it simply be a countdown for the event, or will there be more to it?

The Arc Revolution Cup will feature tournaments for Arc System Works’ three biggest titles in Persona 4: Arena, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R and BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma. The final qualifiers will be taking place at the Tokyo Leisure Land Akihabara on the 18th and the main event will be taking place at the Pacifico Yokohama convention center, where we’ll be seeing plenty of other heaven or hell and wheel of fate turning countdowns, which will take place in front of a live audience.

The event will also be featuring a Guilty Gear and BlazBlue live concert called Arc system Works Music Live, along with a live web radio show recording with 11 of the franchise’s most popular voice actors.

Finally, they say that they may be revealing some new info that will be a first time announcement at this event. Perhaps this is what the countdown will  be leading up to?

Guilty Gear is unashamedly insane. I'm confident in saying that it's the only fighting game in which a French lawman goes up against a time-travelling magic-and-chained-scythe-using Axl Rose knockoff. Each character is either named after a rock band (typically heavy metal) or has attacks or an element of their person that follows that naming scheme. Add to that the fact these characters use weapons ranging from yo-yos to pool cues to giant scalpels to hair, and it's hard to find any game like it. Even BlazBlue doesn't approach how weird it is.

The uniqueness continues into its combat. Guilty Gear uses a five-button system: Punch, Kick, Slash, Heavy Slash, and Dust. While the first four buttons work as you'd expect them to (, everyone in the game uses a weapon of some sort... even if that weapon is a ghost or a symbiote), the Dust button is your combination slow launcher/sweep kick/EX button. Strike an enemy with a standing Dust and they'll go flying into the air for you to follow skyward with an air combo, complete with a color-changing background. It's also used for more powerful versions of some of your attacks (typically at the cost of 25% of your Tension Gauge).

Aggression is rewarded. You can gain meter simply by running towards your opponent, and playing too cautiously can result in the loss of the whole thing. Everyone's constantly air-dashing, setting up air combos, and using bursts to get out of them. Add to that the all-in gambles that are instant kills (everyone can do them, but they have to enter Instant Kill mode, which drains your meter, and then your health until you activate your Instant Kill... which robs you of any use of tension gauge until the end of the round).

Each character feels really unique without resorting to anything as on-the-nose as BlazBlue's Drive button for differentiation. Setting up traps as Testament has a very different flavor than Ky's more direct, hitstun-heavy playstyle. Considering that Guilty Gear XX came out over 10 years ago, it still feels incredibly modern and forward-thinking. Even the Roman Cancel system, in which you can cancel out of an  attack for half a Tension Gauge, (or during certain frames of certain attacks, you can perform a Force Roman Cancel for only 25 Tension) feels like something that more games should look to.

Unfortunately, the PlayStation Vita port feels older than the game itself. Command lists are left completely untranslated, and while they don't contain attack descriptions like Blazblue does, it just seems lazy to have "ドラゴンインストール" sitting in Sol's movelist as opposed to Dragon Install. Then, of course, there's the controversial lack of online play or even leaderboards. In a perfect world, GGXXAC+R would have online and crossplay with the PS3 version (which will hopefully be patched to match the Vita version soon), but If you want to play with someone, you'd better hope they're in the same room with another Vita with Guilty Gear installed. It's like 2002 all over again.

There are some things you can do without other people though. Naturally, there are the fighting game staples—Arcade, Training, and Survival mode. Survival works in a pretty interesting way, in which you earn points for decent play, and every 20 points or so, you fight a tougher opponent with an all-black color scheme called a "Daredevil". Beat the Daredevil, and you get some sort of reward, whether it's a health refill or faster movement. It's a nice spin on an old formula. Master of Medals (M.O.M.) is another strange mode requiring you to build up combos to knock more and more medals out of your opponents. The more aggressive you are, the bigger your medals become. You've also got Mission, which typically pits you in a handicapped state against some buffed opponent. It can be infuriating, but it's satisfying when you nail a particularly challenging mission.

However, my favorite bonus mode is the Story Mode, which was left out of the original Guilty Gear XX Accent Core release back in 2008. Part of the reason I love Guilty Gear so much is because of the characters, and the story, while rather terse and repetitive compared to Blazblue, provides an interesting slice of the characters and the world of Guilty Gear.

Take, for instance, Venom. He's a pool-playing assassin with white hair that somehow has a purple eye dyed(?) into it. He's also the head of the Assassin's Guild after his lover Zato was killed by the object of his obsession, the hair-wielding assassin Millia Rage and taken over by his symbiote Eddie. Venom is aimless and haunted by nightmares since Zato's death and thinks that the only way he can find peace is to kill Millia. That's just one element of the story, and that doesn't even involve the main villains like the Post-War istration Bureau and the creator of the Gears (effectively artificial humans + weapons), just mysteriously named "That Man".

I love the way Guilty Gear's world works. Japanese people are nearly extinct, so the government attempts to round up Baiken and Anji every so often. However, because of the rarity of Japanese people, you also have people like Chipp Zanuff, a American former drug dealer with aspirations of presidency who's obsessed with Japanese culture and speaks broken Japanese in combat. The story and characters are what drew me in back when I first played the series back in 2004, so it makes me happy to see Story Mode back again, even if finding the alternate endings for each character is a little vague.

Food for Thought:

1. Guilty Gear's music is really good at helping shape its characters. I love how straightforward and powerful the bass line in Potemkin's theme is versus how cocky I-no's theme sounds.

2. Speaking of, I loathe I-no in her boss form. So much. Even when you know how to deal with her, a single mistake can cost you half of your health. They even disable instant kills for the fight.

3. While the game only displays in 4:3, it still looks absolutely gorgeous on the Vita. As the screenshots can attest to, I turned off the wallpaper and just completely forgot about the aspect ratio. It looks great in motion.
