Guilty Gear

Yeah, because like your token and stuff like that.

Guilty Gear have juggling and shit? No, I don't think it did.

Oh,

whatever.

They will get put back down to the ground.

Again, a few exceptions, like, like soul bad guy in Guilty Gear, he was just good forever.

There was, you know, or Happy Chaos even.

Happy Chaos was good for a very long time in the Guilty Gear scene.

But, In general, you know, and so you experiencing a nerf on a character that you were playing because it's good will end up sucking because then, like, you'll stop doing as good because the character won't have this thing and then it makes you mad because you're losing all these things.

So instead, what you should do is look at the entire roster...

There's tag fighters, 2D fighters, 3D fighters.

100%.

[laughs] I played a little bit of the new Marvel fighting game that's on PlayStation and PC, Marvel Tokon, which, uh, means fighting souls.

It's from Arc Systems, the Guilty Gear people, and I mainly did it to play the single-player mode because it has a cool story in it.

Now, playing it online against real people, I even got all right at playing Street Fighter online, but if you've ever played, like, Guilty Gear and other Arc System games, these are too goddamn fast.

I cannot-- Even if in my 20s they were probably too fast for me, but now I cannot move fast enough to play this game.

Yeah.

I genuinely like it.

And they took out, at least for the most part, how they normally do models where they baked in animations and movements of certain body parts, I think, like they used to do or still do in the Guilty Gear franchise.

And it's working.

Oh, my God, is it working? I guess the most technical or detailed would be essentially between Loki, Black Girl Magic herself, Danger Room, which they're just calling Danger.

Now, um, as soon as I actually know before I even bought the game, even playing the beta, I saw, I saw how well the graphics were.

And honestly, I, there was a, there was a lot about it that I was impressed by.

I was expecting just, you know, Guilty Gear again, that's kind of what I was thinking was gonna happen But no, it's actually it's actually a lot to it.

They take a lot of components from like, you know comic books they take lots of components from standard Arc System games and they also wanted to make it more unique to like us in like a cinematic way it gives off the vibe of both a movie a comic and a game all at the same time and in different areas and i think that blends well it one doesn't ever feel like it's overshadowing the other not to mention the with uh with the exception of a few um mistakes from here there like like some lighting issues the lighting for the most part is is very well done i could tell they put a lot of work in it and it turns out great you could see it in lots of different characters lots of different characters feel like feel like a breath of fresh air you play one then you go you play one character like you play spider-man and you see all of his all of his cinematics all of his animations the way his suit looks and then you go to someone else like like doom for example and it feels like something completely different Nothing ever feels like the same thing just rearranged.

Um, but this series I hadn't played before at all.

Um, it's called guilty gear.

Have you guys heard of guilty gear?

Definitely heard of it.

Yeah, so I just decided to go down this path to play some Guilty Gear.

The first Guilty Gear came out on the PS1.

And it is often, I mean, it's a good game, but it is often derided because of its AI.

Like if you're playing a single player game, it's just kind of relentless and very difficult to get into.

No.

I think the, the, I think the animation and art of Guilty Gear kinda stomps on all over this, but there's a lot of per- personal preference in there, right?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Okay.

Um, it's just that, like, I think if you say ArcSys Guilty Gear Marvel fighting game, there's y- there's something, there's a gap between what this game is and what I kinda wished it was.

But that said, look, uh, there's other things that are good about it as well.

Anyway, Singo, he ran the Third Strike and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo tournaments and obviously smashed it, right? It was the highlight of the entire weekend.

We went for Guilty Gear.

We stayed for the Street Fighter.

Yeah, it was very smoothly run.

No, you don't know, do you? No,

you don't want to say his name? Huddersfield John? No, listen, I'm just saying, like, for example, not just normal people like that.

No, but like when we were in the Guilty Gear room and that geezer head-butted his controller.

Oh, that
