Guilty Gear REBIRTH (Plus R Documentary)

[@kenmastersX]

Lol the Brett story at the end So at my local college I would always bring a copy of GG and play it while I wasn't going to class. I did this so much everyone knew me as the GG guy there

[@dracodragon4294]

16:26 Thats me! I definitely didn't expect my silly little tournament to make its way into this documentary! Cool video by the way.

[@seba9705]

even tho i'm a big scrub and mostly play the cpu i love this game, it's so sick

[@vennece]

true and im one of them but i fight with offline players like we're just 4 but really fun

[@shifteleven]

I was a cpu only player too. But the +R discord was a great way to find matches where I could chat with people to ask them how they got me, or how do I defend that, or how should I attack you. And it's easy to find other newbies playing. They've been really helpful and have gotten me to think less about things in terms of wins and losses and more on experiencing the different ways people play characters and how to find answers for the moves that kick my butt. Although it still stings getting bodied so hard sometimes - but it doesn't crush me like it used to.

[@gatorssbm]

[@erickp3003]

Same here!

[@lzfsburner]

I saw the video on the +R discord. I'm glad I joined. Majority of active players have good behavior, I sense no hostility. I was "fine" playing Tekken 7 ranked alone, but +R-ollback #matchmaking-NA where the party's at. Every session i have i just wild out, it's hard not to smile. Lot of us on the discord celebrate each other's accomplishments. I hope more people who were too intimidated to try GG give the +R discord a chance.

[@nilpholan]

it really does feel great in that discord

[@chomik172]

Even though I mainly play May, I love A.B.A, her risk/reward gameplay and having to maintain her Moroha mode and having to time when to revert back to Normal mode is just ton of fun to me

[@klaige]

A fantastic look at what has been the perfect storm for this game. Thank you so much again for allowing me to take part in this project Phil!

[@nilpholan]

thanks for giving me so much good stuff to work with!

[@spagredo]

wonderful video, man! Playing +R with friends these last few months have been a wonderful experience

[@nilpholan]

I feel the same, it's been a great thing to play socially under the circumstances

[@bigwolfowosrs]

This is an awesome documentary! I just started playing +r recently and have been LOVING it. I have enjoyed watching Guilty Gear and been to several Frosty Faustings but never sat down and played it. I signed up for +r for the next Frostys and I'm so hyped! I guess me being previously Melee player makes this game just so sick to me and I love it!

[@nilpholan]

the melee parallels are so real, thanks for watching!

[@Wiziliz]

Great documentary! Really agreed with some of the later points. I'm not a veteran to this series, but since getting back into XX thanks to rollback, I've learnt that it's my favourite game of all time, going to be playing it for as long as I can imagine, I hope it continues to grow and move forward at a good pace alongside Strive!

[@osmiridium]

good documentary! I do hope this gets more people into the game, that'd be sick.

[@nilpholan]

that's the goal babyyyyy

[@thecaptainplus]

This is awesome. so much fit into 20 minutes and I couldn't stop watching. whoever put this together thank you.

As a Melee player I have mad respect for this community.

[@gatorssbm]

Even as a fellow Melee player I gotta say GGXXAC+R might be the greatest fighting game of all time

can say as a melee player myself that a lot of the things I love about both melee and its community are quite present in plus r. All love

That 20 minutes flew by! Great video! I've only recently gotten into the scene with the advent of rollback but the community has been super inviting. Running events has been a blast.

[@RevenantLocks]

That’s inspiring to give this a try for switch.

[@nilpholan]

sometimes this game is on sale for $2-3 and I cannot think of a better way to spend $2, even on switch where you don't get rollback

[@arbyw.1889]

Wonderful video. Been loving this game so much since the rollback dropped, hopefully I'll be able to compete in more events in the future.

Hell yeah lets rock! Glad to see this kind of content for this game :)

[@multitrackdriftu]

Good video, but I feel like the story behind how rollback came to be deserved a bit more attention. Perhaps that can be its own documentary? Also feels kinda neat to make cameos in something as well made and guaranteed to be widely viewed as this.

[@nilpholan]

Good idea for a doc! I've been tossing around more ideas like the origin of the tech we rely on. In the meantime, Hold Back to Block's documentary on netcode in fighting games is outstanding, I vouch for it 100%, everyone should watch it.

[@soratheorangejuicemascot5809]

I introduced Guilty Gear in a computer shop.

[@dj_koen1265]

What makes +r great to watch is watching what crazy things people can pull off But as soon as its a matchup that im not interested in its hard to enjoy watching it Strive on the other hand is enjoyable because it looks so pretty and satisfying visually but it gets older more quickly as well

[@nilpholan]

i think this is something that even the best fighting games have in common

[@OrochiCr]

IMO the best Guilty ever, past, present, and future. BTW this wasn't featured on Eventhubs, at least I checked the first 5 pages and didn't see it. No surprised, since I always thought EventHubs is pretty commercial and doesnt care about old games and the niche who still play these amazing games. To have another game like Guilty Gear ACCENT core Plus R, the universe has to go Big Crunch and Big Bang again, this game is special and unique. Also Kudos to Team French Caliburst for giving this game a second chance.

[@nilpholan]

EH has covered my stuff in the past, but I know they've been going through some stuff as an outlet, I'll reach out to them!

[@replicant4142]

I have a sense of love and hate for Plus R. It's really a fun game to play casually with a friend, just pushing buttons, but it's annoying to learn, and I can't find someone at my level to play, it's just frustrating.

As (the? a?) guy that sorta firestarted the project turned update (yes, it was a project *turned* update) i'm glad +R getting a retrospective but as to how it got revived it's just like "yes" Well-made for sure,

[@nilpholan]

Yeah I didn't have all the steps in it because there's basically nothing visual I can do with that information that isn't complex and demanding from a production standpoint, and I wanted to avoid naming names to avoid bringing up folks (not yourself) who are no longer welcome in my stuff or the fgc in general

[@Beatinperminute]

@@nilpholan completely understandable, if you take the people out of it you get all this technical crap that isn't really documentary-worthy.

This is good, but I have a small nitpick. You say there were like 6 years between installments of the XX series between Accent Core and Accent Core Plus R, but you forgot about Accent Core Plus, released in 2008.

Yeah my bad, it gets even more confusing because there's no physical version of plus R, so a lot of my product shots were from Plus copies I found on ebay.

[@emarceeqem4715]

Unless at least pentagrams are present and/or the devil is put in some positive light I think it is an extreme disservice to the game to say it has satanic imagery (And quite ghoulish to say that would be a good thing!) If anything some of the games have apocalyptic imagery which is different. And with characters such as Sin and Ky as heroes, it could be said the games actually have positive Christian imagery.

[@Advael]

Actually I'm the one who said that, and part of my point in saying it was that games after XX have tried to "clean up" all the queer and satanic imagery and references, presumably to appeal to a more "mainstream" western audience (you know, the sort of audience that calls removing stuff they like "censorship" but still gets upset about stuff like that in their media). So yes, there are some pentagrams about in XX, but not Xrd

[@emarceeqem4715]

@@Advael It probably depends on the context though. Are they used by bad people or by good people? That's the other thing.

[@Advael]

@@emarceeqem4715 Most storytelling permits more nuance than you seem willing to consider. That question is meaningless to me
