Guilty Gear - The Missing Link: An In-Depth Overview

[@chaz8230]

Having a bar at the bottom which tells you how long each bit of text will show up is CRAZY good. Mega props

[@GuileWinQuote]

Great stuff!!

Missing Link got some FIRE AS HELL sound design! Love how loud everything is!

[@BackOff_xd]

fr Potemkin on GGML is so funny

[@newchallenge]

Absolutely amazing work as usual, if this doesn't help you get into Missing Link, I don't know what will. Thank you for the excellent video, loved the edit work and hope the upcoming Fightcade PSX implementation will see the ML community thrive!

[@garouchill6872]

The Missing Link is pretty much the same as a western cowboy duel. Whoever lands the Instant Kill first wins the whole match.

[@gmvchill2182]

The only thing *missing* part in this game is an online mode. I wanna see players speedrun the whole match.

[@mibeador]

Well thanks to duckstation rollback netplay is available for the PSX version

[@gilgafresh923]

Impressive stuff Edit: OK, Sol stacking in DI's is absolutely gnarly and now I wish something like that came back for it that isn't DI 2nd.

[@idontno6d105]

Missing Link is what really introduced me to fighting games that weren't street fighter and ignited the love for fighting games I still feel today. Dr. Baldhead (and Faust) will always hold a special place in my heart for the eternal impression of guilty gear they gave me when I first selected them on the portraitless training mode selection screen.

[@FA-nd9uk]

Same for me. I always liked fgs, but ML cemented them as my fav genre. It also made GG my fav series of all time, and is also the reason why i am a metalhead. Too bad Strive sucks, and basically turned me away from fgs, to the point I no longer run tournaments in my country, lol.

[@BackOff_xd]

​​@@FA-nd9ukboy, are you folded that Strive is less monkey action filled?, or that Sin and Happy Chaos exist? I dont say that its bad that you dislike Strive tho, just wanna ask your extreme dislike for it.

[@FA-nd9uk]

Missing Link will be forever my fav FG of all time, I started playing it on 1999, and played it all days with my brother. Is actually what cemented fgs as my fav type of games, and GG being my fav series, with the exception of Strive. Fuck that pos. Also is the reason why I became a metalhead.

[@all-starsilver1835]

Honestly, a pretty crazy aspect of this game that wasn't really mentioned is the air movement. Usually, using airdash removes double jump and vice versa, but here you can use both without touching the ground! Is that not crazy?

[@justsomeguywithkaminasshad7145]

So this game basically moves like Melty

[@soundwave2825]

Props for using Justice's intro when introducing her, really cements her status as #1 in the game.

[@mibeador]

She's actually #6 lol

[@soundwave2825]

Really? Because that imperial ray shit on top of Gamma Ray spam on desperation mode sound like autowin buttons to me.

[@mibeador]

@@soundwave2825 imperial ray is insanely minus past midscreen except on hit against standing opponents, leaving her open to infinite punishments, and gamma ray is 60 frame startup so good players just interrupt it most of the time

[@edlerkrieger8045]

A ggx version of this video would he nice, that game is broken af but it is equally interesting in its bullshit.

[@mibeador]

only issue is I don't have the execution for GGX's bullshit lol

[@quocnguyenleminh1606]

"The dash bug adds running momentum to special moves. It's done by doing a special and ending it wit a dash" Wait It's fking prototype enhancer for naoto in blazblue :)

[@scaryshit24]

It even has the blue silhouette

[@stealphiee]

22:18 oh shit thats me

[@Luunyby]

Powerful. The more I learn about this game the more I wish I was born early enough to play it lmao. It'd be funny as fuck making my brother mad with some of this heinous jank.

[@SinKiske]

buy it on the switch

[@forestsavior]

As a player of Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou?! Shuyaku Soudatsusen (released 1994 for the Nintendo Super Famicom), I must say Missing Link, which does many of the same things (except more and louder), really puts that game's balance and jank into perspective. If Sailor Moon S crimes are children shoplifting candy, Missing Link crimes are carpet-bombing civilians. (And yes, I'm aware of Sailor Moon S as effectively a proto-Arcsys game.) It's definitely interesting on an academic level but IDK if I would want to try and take it even a little seriously. I don't trust myself to get past layer 1 of the meta, a.k.a. "can you consistently break IKs on reaction so you don't lose the entire match off one read/guess?".

[@Armoogeddon]

Super in-depth and interesting, great work!

GG1 is a blessed comedy game.

[@tabkg5802]

This game seems amazing even though its completely broken

[@retrokid5182]

But you will soon know that this Kusoge isn't even fun due to unfun mechanics that break the whole game. Not to mention, Axl isn't even fun to play due to op characters

@@retrokid5182 lmao I hate zoners so I'm happy about Axl being shit

[@retrokid5182]

@@tabkg5802 Axl may be a zoner, but he isn't a KEEPAWAY CHARACTER! THERES A GOD FUCKING DAMN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ZONER AND KEEPAWAY!

[@retrokid5182]

@tabkg5802 sorry for snapping. But a zoner is a long ranged Fighter who can control space and can also rushdown, meanwhile keepaway is specifically meant to keep their opponents at bay by frustrating them with projectiles but struggle to rushdown and are more meant to use hit n run strategy or turtling (Edit: depends on the character's archetype)

Insanely in-depth as expected from you Mib, amazing work! 👏 Missing Link was my first GG and I loved it as a kid, but funnily enough I never went back to it. Guess I'll have to give it a shot now with all this new knowledge.

[@ducklenin8161]

Thank you for the whole intro song, i was worried you were gonna clip it short

excellent and concise. i love this barely functioning game

[@Dothenovaforce]

Very good info

[@forcrit2562]

Hey more ML content, you'll love to see it. That being said, Ky's K buttons are extremely good. They're fast, combos into themselves and stun dipper and are fairly quite safe on block (correct me otherwise). Anyway, great video, loving this content about GG.

[@darksydephilup4333]

The range on 5k and 2k for how much they can be chained is okay but the move that holds him together outside of obviously the ik is his close s for infinite combos,it's his best cc move on hit and is a very lax infinite, also stun dipper has combo trouble and is outclassed by just doing close s as a Gatling, his only special that isn't held back by game mechanics is stun edge which is plenty good enough
