[Nekich]

Ok, so it's a known fact that questions about where to find "this gg art" and "that gg soundtrack" pop-up from time to time. And for this sake thread about "where exactly" was created.

3.Drama CD translations
Currently, translations for "X" and "XX side Red/Black" dramas exist, done by Ed Chang - they are attached to this post. Files are copyrighted, though without appropriate notices in the files themselves (as they are copy/pastes from author's no longer active "Gear Project" website).

...Oh yeah, the chibi GIFs

The site is:

http://kaijint.hp.infoseek.co.jp/

There's a lot of other stuff on this site, but if you want to go straight for the GIFs, click on the 8th link in the list that you see on the main page.

The first two links you'll see from there are various fanart pieces, and then below that you'll see an array of sample GG GIFs. Just click on any of those samples to open up another page with (at least) a few more GIFs.

(There are also GIFs for other game series, like KOF, SNK, Type-Moon, Fate series, Square-Enix, Tales of... series, and various other ones.)

Has the Order Sol v. Ky song been ripped? I dont really know, and this would appear to be the right place to ask.

[Nekich]

Haven't heard of anything like that. Intro was ripped from the GG-radio show, and i doubt someone would try and record a fightless match just to rip a song. They'll probably release another arcade OST with new tracks or one more collection. They just love those.

[rtl42]

Can someone get in touch with Zazz (over at HerV, perhaps?) and ask him to re-post the Isuka sprites somewhere? They were all posted at Holy Zen!, which has since gone down and been deleted.

[YaR 1030]

kudos for the post.

I'd say that we have the very same images, but without that crappy background...

There is a word, that GG.Ru shall upload those sometime in the future.

orly? :=)

thanks for comprehensive post and grats on becoming a mod here )

Right. Totally forgot about those. Now fixed.

ya rly
(Bio, ATM my crappy connection won't allow me to upload anything heavier than 500Kb it seems, /me is awfully sorry.)

[Aliginge]

Last year I almost spent £50 buying GGX Drafting Artworks. Now thanks to the power of the internet, I can have it free! Thanks so much

[Nekich]

cool, copies of Isuka sprites do exist (knew about that source, but, heh, my memory is full of holes) - see the first post.

thanks to Zazz
