Guilty Gear Xrd's online features detailed
Lobbies
Open lobbies can hold up to 64 players. Much like in the PS3 version of the recently released Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, players can chat with one another outside of matches here. Individual match settings can be customized prior to fighting in order to create rooms with an appropriate atmosphere and audience.
In addition to actually joining in on fights directly, players can also watch other people’s matches within lobbies.
Fights
Training Mode is available online for two players.
All players, be they the ones actually fighting or just watching from sideline, can type into chat at any time during a match.
In individual match lobbies, players can interject preset messages that have voiced lines attached spoken by the game’s cast.
Players use in-game currency to buy songs from throughout Guilty Gear series history and use them as the background music for fights.
Replay Theater
Players can now not only save replay data of matches to their consoles locally, but they can also upload them online.
Replay data can viewed frame-by-frame, as well affix short comments to them. Up to four of these can be attached to players’ R-Code, or their personal online data, which can then be viewed by others.
