One hell of a series and your narrating is perfect.

I can't thank you enough for how well done this series was. Truly appreciate how awesome this series was

Using NO MERCY in the Final Confrontation between Ky and Sol - was just perfect - then HOLY ORDERS when Ky goes all out and finally summing it up with the BEST CREDITS THEME IN GAMING: TILL NEXT TIME from Guilty Gear XX - was an awesome touch. Love the GG XX Soundtrack!!! 💙👍👏

This has been absolutely monumental. Thanks, Woolie! The fate of mankind, mind bending phylosophical questions and epic battles....next to super awkward conversations about your family relations and jet powered flatulance after eating pudding. Only in Guilty Gear, folks. Also it took like five games for Baiken to do something of note and she was pretty much just supporting role. Doing my girl dirty.
