There's LORE in FIGHTING GAMES?

[@sharlockshacolmes9381]

My favorite part about this story is the character development, especially Coney's he goes from "Guilty gear Chara design are so bad" to "they're bad but so unapologeticly cool and corny" to finally "once again excellent character design".

Guilty Gear lore is an insane level of shitposting. It’s SO funny. Even most recently having Bedman?, a character with a question mark in the official name. It’s such a Guilty Gear thing to do and I think it’s hysterical.

[@gaminglakitu]

I find it funny how Coney says that "Guilty Gear definitely doesn't take itself seriously" when Guilty Gear is literally Daisuke's absolute passion project with character and story. I bet if Daisuke heard that, he would feel like he was spit in the face lol

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

same with the Blazblue guy

[@micheledelloglio5820]

Yes and no. "Doesn't take itself seriously" doesn't mean it's not good or not well done. The creator sure made so everything in GG is bombastic, exaggerated and totally crazy, he literally went out of his way to do it. Is it good? Yes. Characters are well written and interesting? Absolutely. But crazy QueenReferenceGuy pulling out a battery of nukes to shotgun them into a god is still crazy and unserious

@@micheledelloglio5820 That'a true. I guess that's kinda my problem with all of the super short GG lore videos, even if they are funny, they really don't actually make you care as much for the characters and how awesome the story of GG is and just kinda makes it a wacky and fast recap that makes newbies say "Yeah GG's story is only stupid wacky and crazy and doesn't mean anything"

If memory serves, Faust's story is that he was a doctor named Dr. Baldhead who, due to thinking he killed a patient in surgery, went mad, and was a serial killer during Missing Link. However, he eventually finds out that she was actually offed by Zato-One of the Assassin's Guild. He then sets himself into exile, horrified by what he's done so far, and eventually comes back as everyone's favorite crazed, bag-headed physician. After that, he does all he can to atone for his sins as a murderer, and hopefully beat the crap out of Zato along the way. As for what happens during the events of Strive, he exerts himself massively to help save the day, so much so that he burns himself out and dies, and the playable version is his zombified remains still driven by his desire to do good. As for Sagat being good, I think the story behind that is that he saw a dark reflection of himself in Dan's thirst for revenge against Sagat for killing his father, threw the fight to give Dan closure, and decided to walk a more righteous path. Likewise, the timeline in the Street Fighter video is incorrect, everything except 6 is before 3, canonically.

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

an in a short lived spinoff game we have Fanny who fall for him after getting saved an now uses a large needle

[@Permafrost1]

So thats what happened with faust, okay, thank you

[@guywithaguitar8521]

So far we dont know if he's "dead" but we do know through arcade dialogue, that he "Wanted to go back... went too far." as for why the Assassin's guild killed killed his patient, Faust wanted to preform an unauthorized procedure, but was denied over and over again. the reason being the conclave, (the 5 people who taught magic to the world and bombed Babylon) knew that Procedure hid the secret to resurrection, which they wanted to hide at all costs. so they hired Zato to kill him. then years later when Zato was killed by Millia Rage, and his body was possessed by Eddy, who failed to find a new host and died later.(Explaining the name change for R+ since they call him Eddy in that game) the Conclave brought Zato back to life, now Zato-1. but he was just a shell of himself, lacking all emotion except for his feelings towards Millia.

[@Sassaparilla]

As stated by another comment, Faust is not confirmed to have died in the literal sense. I have a theory that he basically reset himself in every way outside of his form and knowledge. The way he walks is like he's learning to control his movements, and he constantly unintentionally causes damage, offering help in exchange (which often just ends up hurting someone more as he lacks full bodily control). Makes me think of a toddler still learning to walk and use their strength.

[@Kytseo]

@@guywithaguitar8521 He does still retain stuff aside from that as well, I believe. Plus, didn't dialogue suggest this new rebirth allowed Zato to grow as a person instead of be a cold hearted assassin? Granted, new Zato started mostly emotionless, but developed a less ruthless outlook over time.

[@austinfletchermusic]

If you think these two are weird wait until you learn about the BlazBlue story

[@Gimmick_]

I like Anji's lore because it's just so nonsensical. He and Baiken are very close and experienced Japan being taken over and met while in colonies designed to keep Japanese safe. While Baiken wanted revenge against That Man, Anji was just curious about him and went to seek him out as well but not before just yoinking the a pair of fans that was responsible for creating a barrier over the Colony. He also just... decides to work for That Man and assist with his plans for some reason. There's a few other tidbits but nowadays Anji works with Chipp and was also seen with Baiken in the sub-plot but didn't join her and Delilah.

[@thatsjustcolin3208]

He works for Asuka since the person who blew up Japan was not him, but Happy Chaos who was also going by the name That Man to frame Asuka.

After God I-no's death, she's split into 3 parts 1. Megumi, Axl-lows lover from his timeline who gets dropped in the real world, so axl gets his happy ending 2. I-no, she got dropped in a paradox/pocket reality of her ideal world with 3. Happy Chaos, who then decided that being in said paradox wasn't funny and left, offering to bring I-no back with him, but she denies him, knowing that this paradox is the closest to the reality she wanted So everyone's retired and Happy Chaos is still around to commit emence shenanigans Edit: Happy Chaos can kill the whole cast simultaneously blindfolded with relative ease. He just doesn't because it ain't entertaining. He's also able to interact with the 4th wall (see his round draw animation.) Happy Chaos never lost in the story. He did what he wanted to, then when a literal omnipotent God screws it all up, he comes back in to resume usual warcrimes, yknow, as a joke

[@jacobkrakowski]

Is all this infomration explained in eachs respectice arcade mode? Because I've never heard about any of this.

[@LeFisheboi]

@jacobkrakowski you see Megumi in the end of strives main story and she's explained there. I-no's arcade is about her coming to terms with it in the paradox Chaos arcade is him escaping the paradox Chaos surviving a Junkyard blast, outpacing Asukas magic and nearly killing Anji Mito after "fighting" for 2 seconds and making bullets that kill immortals (like sol or nago) solidify where he stands in the power list

Watching Coney somehow understand the Guilty Gear story is shocking. I tried to understand it all but in the end got super confused. Now if Coney ever watches anything about BlazBlue... well that's even more convoluted.

WoolieVersus has an amazing 7 part video explaining the entirety of GG's lore. Yes it's long but it's well made and is as good as it gets. I'm pretty sure the videos are still understandable at x2 speed and you can use it as a pseudo podcast for when you have a physical task that takes little mental energy (won't get to see the characters as they come up but you can just search up the character names after to what they look like).

[@Sassaparilla]

@@stephensmith7327 think of Axl like the focus of everything. He CAN go back. But he won't because he can't live with the guilt of erasing everything to go back to his time. He believes he wouldn't be deserving to see his Girl's smile if he did that, even though he knows she would forgive him.
