@@metasprite5648 possibly, but search up any videos or articles on how guilty gear was made. He was working under a game studio and he wanted to make a rock album but was tasked to make a fighting game. He decided to do both. The first sold well enough to warrant a full on sequal (XX series). Due to licensing issues, he couldn’t make any gg games (I think it’s cause he moved over to arc systems, I don’t know), which is where he worked on the music for grand blue. Then when they got the rights, he said he wanted to make the sequal to guilty gear be 3D imitating 2D. It’s also the first game he had a vocal song. The huge success of that game for a fighting game has led to strive. And he’s still making the music, while also being the director and story writer of the game. In the older titles, he even worked a bit on the codes and did the art work. Man was committed to his creation

As a guy who grew up watching anime in the early 2000's, that AMV was a big nostalgia trip for me. Most of my early years watching KZbin was looking up anime AMV's set to songs from alt rock bands cause I just though that was the coolest shit when I was young. Love to see it, even now. Also I know next to nothing about GG lore so had no clue Ram was a villian at some point in the story, good to know.

[@TheJackOfFools]

Dude, the number of AMVs set to late 90's early 00's music? How many anime had memorable (and even not so memorable) moments set to "In The End" or "Down With The Sickness"? Can one man hope to count them all? What a wild time.

Have you seen BlazBlue or Under Night, they only have character portraits on either side of the screen with still art of the environment in the background. Xrd has animated character models interacting in rendered environments. The only thing visual novel is the text box that can be set to auto or manual advance, Strive's story is made as a movie with even more animation and no pausing for textboxes and was only made by four people. Even in BlazBlue Central Fiction's story I didn't have to slave myself away, it is really good and is fully voice acted(sadly only in Japanese, yet BlazBlue has an amazing English cast). Although I am more appreciative of visual novels that most are, it is not an excuse to avoid the story when it is clearly presented to you in an extremely high quality compared to simpler visual novels and has in game encyclopedia organized in multiple ways so any can at least, for such a small effort, understand who is who and the events of Xrd and Strive. For clarity so this is not misinterpreted you can choose to not interact with the story and only find appeal in the gameplay, I am challenging the excuse of the medium being a high barrier to entry to allow willful ignorance.

My boy is back :D

[@TheDingusKing]

after never playing a guilty gear game i've never seen this character and i already am in love i just really enjoy yo-yos this maybe the character to finally get me into the series

[@mortis.y2]

Okay this is awesome but where did the guy in the start get that shirt? It looks so rad and simple at the same time, I NEED it

[@baileypalmer103]

It finally happened!!!!!

[@malinenh01]

Fighting Game fans eating good now. Tekken 8 teaser (possibly), KoF XV Orochi team and GG Strive Bridget release the same day, DBFZ Rollback, SamSho Rollback and Street Fighter 6 looking good. What a time to be a FG fan

[@kassemjenkins]

This was such great news.

[@personataplace4734]

Bridget is now no longer underage. The internet is going to have a field day

[@sipseygimp]

That didn't stop them before.

Holy degens

[@ranwilliams1117]

Also a girl now

[@adrekiy0]

funny how you think the character's age stopped people. never underestimate the power of a pervert with a pencil

[@personataplace4734]

@@adrekiy0 it deterred those who had any self respect. There obviously were still people making stuff with 13 year old Bridget but now it's completely fair game

[@monotohnoindependenten3475]

I love my boy... Ever since I played him on X2. I was born on the year he was released, but I got to play as him back in High school. Now I am so happy he's back as if it were yesterday. I just hope I can shoot somebody to the moon soon before the game ends one day.

Boy?

Walk the dog yo yo is cute as hell man haha

[@JonaMo0]

id love to see a guilty gear anime at that caliber

[@Mene0]

Arcsys deserves 1mil and more

[@overforkover2140]

I've only played a couple of matches but Bridget is so much fun to play as! My prediction for the season 2 characters was wrong too, I thought Sin would be the first followed by Jam, Slayer, and Dizzy.

[@breadaholic6445]

My current guess (besides bridget and not in this order) is Delilah, asuka and sin, and hopefully a surprise extra but we’ll see

[@webbowser8834]

I still have some quantity of hopium for Slayer. Maybe this October because spooky character goes in spooky month?

[@TheeLZ]

Jam is already in a new game. She in DnF Duel as The Striker. Lmao joking

[@carlosluismendez7392]

Johnny is next.
