Spoiler: Ky replaced one of Sin's eyes with his own, to allow Sin pass like a human and avoid prosecution due to his inhuman gear eyes (covering the gear one with a patch). Ky had a patch on his new gear eye too, but the gear cells diluted and stop looking inhumane, so now he doesnt need a patch.

[@Valanway]

The problem with that comes with the legacy players and the people who got into it after the fact *because* of the way the games looked and operated. People WANT Guilty Gear (and just about every other Anime-fighters) to be as wild and out-there, whilst also being fun, and don't want that to change-especially since every time developers have tried, it's either backfired, or didn't help their growth much at all, and at worst, hindered itself by isolating a lot of the initial fanbase (although that's a fighting game issue, not just an anime fighter issue.) It's the whole reason they got into it, after all. It's not gatekeeping when everyone who got into it willingly got into it, regardless of the barrier of entry integral to the game itself. It's more gate screening by the game itself, if anything. Besides, fighting games are all about the time, energy, and dedication to learn how they play, and how to get good. Even traditional and simple 1v1 fighters like Street Fighter have that first hill to climb. That's just how the genre works, and thankfully why legacy skill is so lauded; people who have it did their time and can reap the benefits. There's games for every kind of player, and it's up to the player to take the first dive in, regardless of any barrier to entry.

[@yuurou7927]

Every fighting game at a certain level will become hard and need time and energy to learn. Hell every competitive game does. Being nuts and being an asshole to players are different, GG series before has a lot of trashy stuff that clashes with the core game like FRC, character specific wake up timing, bnb being character specific etc. and YES I said it FRC is NOT a good system. A game can be nutty and beginner friendly, say BBCF, pick up Az and go nuts. ST is going a bit too far. Especially the damange is so high that new players are actually easier to get blown up.

[@Snow1482]

A game having a high skill ceiling is not gatekeeping. If you don't want to invest time in it you can just play casually with other people your skill level and it will be perfectly fine, not everyone online is a freaking monster at the game, that's what matchmaking is there for.

It's actually because one of his eyes is actually Sin's. Sin had troubles controlling his powers and it was due to his eyes for reasons? so the eye Sin is usually looking through is actually one implanted from Ky, and Ky has one of his eyes.

[@takeruneverborn4740]

The reason it called Dragon Install because Sol Gear form is Powerful Dragon/Creastation/Roach Hybrid that control Hellfire Magic.

[@Dieonceperday]

@@fletcherchristian1111 I believe it's from a novel, but there's a scene where Sol meets Ky and a young Sin and both are wearing eyepatches as they heal from the procedure. I don't see any reason not to consider it canon, especially considering that the super special gear eyes for Sin and Ky just so happen to be the opposite eye.

[@Unfunniest_Asian]

If they took away Sol’s Dragon Install, I just hope that he’ll still have a special victory screen for finishing with the new super

[@BloodSportA2]

Granted, Ky having an install doesn't really make him *less* vanilla, it just means he's vanilla with sprinkles on top now. Also seems to function differently than Sol's did (or still will?), with Ky's being more akin to Kazuya's Devil transformation: you can only pop it at critical health, but it's permanent 'till death once you do. As for Sol, I can't imagine they'd go to the trouble of animating an actual Dragon Install form just to leave it as a momentary part of a super, but I guess we'll see.

I was literally having a conversation with my buddies in December about the idea of Ky having a dragon install, and now I might have to pick up Ky just for that reason now. Thanks ArcSys!

[@ProfKisuto]

I think it'll be interesting if it IS good and becomes popular, but old heads don't like it because its different. I've always been more of a SF fan than GG, but prefer arcsys graphics / character design. So this game looks freaking perfect for me.

[@jeppyjep]

Its okay to complain about the simplified gameplay, but the doods didnt even play the older Guilty Gear that much. If they're a long-time and hardcore GG players, its understandable, but they're not. Even with the +R rollback, they only played it a couple of times. The recent GG streams i watched is from Sajam and Jiyuna, which i respected.

[@ProfKisuto]

@@jeppyjep That's a good point. I don't really know the other guys like Max - but he's way more a Capcom guy.

I've been with GG since XX (and then played the previous ones and spin-offs), and I am really unhappy about the game becoming less crazy. Considering that this is the end of the series (at least story-wise), it feels like Guilty Gear will go out on a whimper.

[@Plasmacat1]

I love Max and he is the reason I got into fighting games again but he is so squared on his opinions and gives me the impression he wants all fighting games to cater to his tastes sometimes. Like how he still thinks super dash in Dragon Ball Fighters is as annoying as it was on season 1 or how everything needs to be like MvC a bit. Also I haven't played Guilty Gear ever and I'm super hyped for this, haven't been this interested in a fighting game since forever. And don't get me wrong everyone has different tastes, I despise how MK11 plays but honestly it's just not for me but I think since fighting games are dwindling we should be critical but also open to changes.

@@starvaughnjackson6285 exactly. Now I’m all for departures I loved Tekken force the first time. I loved Neo Contra. Pocket Fighter MVC2 all that but Guilty Gear 2 was soooo different it scared me nothing like the other games. I’m glad they left that alone

[@mas8705]

So here’s what I noticed when going back to look at the Ky and Sol transformations. When Ky got the install, they do mention how “he has to be at low health,” as though it is a last minute ditch effort to win. But with Sol, they didn’t specify that (even though he was also at low health). And these were the same inputs. So either Sol does have an install, but is done under different circumstances, this is Sol’s last ditch effort to melt an enemy if he is low on health (although it wasn’t specified), or they just turned his install into just a special and that is going to rightfully upset some people.
