Does anyone here have a strategy they used to beat it? I only beat forty-five of the missions, so it's pretty strange that the one I'm caught up on now happens to be mission 45. I put this hell of a mission off until the end but now I still have to do it in order to get 100 percent completion, and I've wasted so many hours on it, it's driving me insane. Any tips to beating it (short of selling my soul) would greatly be appreciated.

Can you describe it? I haven't beaten them all, so I doubt I'll be able to help, but you never know. I don't know them by number, so I don't know if I've cleared this certain one.

Thanks, this is the first time I came to these boards and I didn't know if I'd get any help. I'll post a link to a guide}http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/guilty_gear_x2_mission.txt

The link isn't allowing me to see it. Can you just describe it?

My bad, I new to these boards.

You're fighting a maniac level shadow May and have 60 seconds to beat enemy. She has half health, a guard level at 0, infinite tension (no shit she's a shadow), and no other limitations. You're Johnny with half health, you're poisoned, you have a guard level at 64, start with a full tension meter (but it's not infinite), can't jump, don't do damage until after the fifth hit of a combo, and your one hit kill is gone (if it were enabled would the game allow it to work seeing as how one hit is below the limit of 5?). th's'it.

The guide I tried to link literally said this, (in addition to it taking over 40 hours just on that missino to beat it) so I'm curious to see if anyone has their own ideas as I don't have rosary beads and like my pants dry):

Mission 45
Take Rosary Beads and Bible and place them on your PS2
Build enough patience to withstand all hell
Build guard meter by fK, K,HS>d,df,f+HS, then repeat
Make sure guard meter is all the way up or close, May is in corner, one coin
has landed (only one) then do following combo
fK (hit and conter since meter is high), S,fK,K,S>qcf+P,FHS>hcb,f+HS
Jump for joy and pee your pants at your win....

Sounds extrememly difficult. That must have been one of the missions I tried once or twice, determined to be near-impossible, and went on to the next one. I usually have trouble with the ones where you have to use a combo to inflict any damage. Sorry I can't be of any help. Good luck with it, though.

That's cool, it was a long shot. I'll post the other 4(I got my ggx2 disc replaced so I'm back in the game)in case anyone has any tips, and in return if anyone has a question about a mission I beat I'll do what I can to help.

There's also bridget/gold bridget (48)

chipp/anji (34)
The May/Testament one doesn't look too impossible and I just suck with May so if it looks familiar to anyone who knows May, this is the one where you get half health and Testament heals and he has infinite tension. Only your specials and overdrives do damage, and only after the second hit of a chain, which looks hella nice compared to chipp needing over 5 hit combos to damage you.
Funny how all the ones I couldn't beat are combo related too.

Dude...I beat 45 of the missions and the 5 I haven't beaten are the exact same ones you listed...
not to mention I bought a new X2 disc about a month ago. Please reply if you have any success with those 5.

I just realized these posts were made a long ass time ago...and i had no memory of making them. i feel *bleep*.
