Guilty Gear is a power of rock Fighting Game series created by Arc System Works and Daisuke Ishiwatari. The franchise started out as a cult classic, but got noticeably better attention when its sequels were released.In the year 2010, mankind discovered an incredible energy source that defied all known laws of physics. This unlimited power would be fittingly labelled as "magic" and go on to catalyse the growth of civilisation across the world. However, this miraculous discovery was not enough to quell the flames of war within the human soul, and soon the invention of Magitek was used to create powerful Living Weapons known as "Gears."The Gears eventually Turned Against Their Masters in a century-long conflict known as The Crusades. Led by the righteous Holy Order, mankind eventually defeated the leader of the Gears and sealed her away in a dimensional rift, causing every other active Gear to fall dormant.As the first game opens, the year is 2180, and there are whispers that the Gears may be revived and resume their genocide of humanity. In the midst of the ensuing turmoil, two opposing rivals clash swords: Sol Badguy, an amoral Bounty Hunter with a dark secret linking him to the Gears; and Ky Kiske, an idealistic young paladin of the Second Holy Order.Mechanically, Guilty Gear has a few unique concepts that set it apart from the competition: | |

Hotter and Sexier: Not that the series was a stranger to fanservice, but Xrd takes things up a notch thanks to the 3D models. Ky can let his hair down, Millia now wears tight leggings, Zato-1 wears very tight spandex, Jam wears a different pair of underwear every day of the week... you get the picture. | |

Cherry Tapping | |

Kliff Undersn's taunt creates physical letters, which bounce across the screen and inflict some damage. Knockouts with this in tournament play have become a particularly humiliating form of Cherry Tapping. | |

Tamer and Chaster: STRIVE follows this direction with the entire cast wearing much more urban inspired fashion, which consequently has everyone looking more covered than they have ever been. And the game itself also follows a more restrained style compared to the more bombastic one of the series past. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The Korean OST for XX. While it's not bad at all (in fact many of the entries are every bit as awesome in their own way as the standard Japanese themes), it's less energetic and it often goes full blown post-apocalyptic heavy metal. Still, it's just the Korean version, and you get the option switch back to the Japanese soundtrack if you prefer. Just one example, compare and contrast Chipp Zanuff's familiar Japanese bop "Suck a Sage" versus his Korean theme "Child of the Wind"... and Chipp's supposed to be the game's Plucky Comic Relief! -STRIVE- aesthetically is darker than any of the previous entries. While still beautifully animated, the colors are more muted and the silly over-the-top facial expressions are missing. This is especially noticeable with Faust, who is now more of a Humanoid Abomination instead of the jovial doctor from Guilty Gear X onward. Ironically, it ends the story for many of the main characters on a fairly happy note. | |

Big, Screwed-Up Family | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: After finding out more about his wife's family in Xrd, Ky Kiske is mortified to learn: His wife Dizzy, due to Gears having a wildly different life cycle than humans, is actually decades younger than him despite looking like they're the same age. Their son Sin is already a full-grown adult at age 3, again because of Gears' life cycles being utterly different. His father-in-law is actually his rival Sol Badguy, who also turns out to be over a century old and the Ultimate Blacksmith who made his Infinity +1 Sword Thunderseal. In Ky's defense, Sol is far from amused as well. Further, the two girls who he basically adopted at the end of Revelator, Ramlethal and Elphelt, are clones of his mother-in-law. His mother-in-law? Oh yeah, it's former series Big Bad Justice, who killed his master while she was Brainwashed and Crazy years ago, and is also over a century old. His wife and adopted daughters even lampshade the whole situation by questioning what they should even call Sol, with Dizzy deciding on "father" and the Valentines, being artificially grown gears, considering "big brother" given Sol's identity as the very first Gear. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: The series underwent an experimental phase while in the midst of tweaking XX. Isuka's GG Boost Mode and the entirety of Judgment were Beat Em Ups, while Dust Strikers was a Platform Fighter in the vein of Super Smash Bros. The first true sequel, Overture, was equal parts RTS and H&S. The next proper installment, Xrd, returns to the series' roots as a 2D fighter. | |

Weapon of X-Slaying | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_17d5e071 | comment |
Weapon of X-Slaying: Outrage, a superweapon that Sol built to destroy Gears. It works by amplifying the user's magical potential so they can level mountains in a single shot. However Sol soon realised that Outrage was so obscenely powerful that nobody could wield it, not even him. So Sol split it into eight pieces and kept the piece that boosts fire magic, turning it into Fireseal. Later he acquired the Flashing Fang from the U.N and incorporated it into a more powerful sword. Ky Kiske has the Thunderseal (thunder magic booster), and Anji Mito has the Zessen (wind magic booster). Two other pieces (Dominator and Baikal) are held by the Conclave, and the last two are unnamed and unaccounted for. | |

Title Drop | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: The end of the first game reveals the eponymous "Guilty Gear" is none other than Sol Badguy, a gear who sided with mankind against the other Gears. Later games have similar allusions or mentions to the title, with Sol telling Dizzy her crying makes him feel "guilty" in X, and Slayer and That Man in XX discussing Sol's identity as the Guilty Gear, being the first Gear and also a former human, making him capable of choice and sin in a way many of the other Gears were not. | |

Power at a Price | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_1ebbdddb | comment |
Power at a Price: The Forbidden Beasts are named so for a reason. In order for a human to properly fuse with them, the host must first offer up something in return. Zato sacrificed his eyesight for Eddie, but what Millia unwillingly gave up to obtain Angra when taken in by the Assassin's Guild remains unknown. That's not all, unfortunately; as time goes on, the Forbidden Beast will slowly eat away at its host's mind and eventually kill them, as seen with Zato's eroding sanity and eventual death (although Eddie claims to Millia it was not his intention). This problem is the cornerstone of Millia's Accent Core Plus story, as she grapples with Angra's murderous thoughts and fears she'll share Zato's fate once the magic in her hair fully awakens. | |

The existence of Vitae in the Lightning the Argent novel (if you factor out the potential for Body Horror if a Commander Gear stirs up the dormant Gear cells used) shows that all of the research put into the creation of Gears wasn't inherently bad. Trying to weaponize them, on the other hand? Not such a good idea. | |

Random Power Ranking | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_2285ca79 | comment |
Random Power Ranking: Not actually the character's power, but how much of a threat they pose to the Post-War Administration Bureau. For example, Millia is quite low-ranking and Axl is massively high-ranking; Millia is a dangerous assassin but "killing people" is all she can really do even if she is really good at it, and her quest for revenge makes her easy to manipulate and straightforward to predict, whereas Axl is a sweethearted goofball but his involuntary time travel makes him near-impossible to predict, and he's one of the few people in the world who knows what the past world was like (for the Bureau a leak of this knowledge would be political dynamite). | |

Last Lousy Point | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_23168b93 | comment |
Last Lousy Point: Digital Figure Mode in Xrd has a lot of unlockable character poses, expressions, and palette swaps for each character, which can only be unlocked randomly via fishing and are mixed in with other unlocks such as palette swaps for use in regular matches, name plates, avatar parts, and guild icons for online profile customization. -REV 2- expanded the selection with even more poses and expressions for the playable cast along with an assortment of extra characters. Needless to say unless you spend hours grinding for W$ in Episode or online matches once you run out of chances for quick and easy money from Tutorial, Story, Combo, and Mission, you'll be fishing a lot just to unlock everything. The daily chests added to a later update in-REV 2- help getting unlocks slightly easier, as it gives one free random drop of items per day. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: Certain characters (Sol/Order-Sol, May, Millia, Baiken) have more than one Taunt and/or Respect gesture. These aren't character-specific, though. In AC (and its revisions), the elderly painter in the new London stage will occasionally paint a scene depicting an alien instead of an unfinished still of the stage itself. Seeing this in the 360 version of AC+ or Vita version of AC+R nets you a trophy/achievement (Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind). Printed on the characters' clothing in Xrd are a variety of different phrases — these are easier to notice in closeups and Digital Figure. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Unless you're playing The Missing Link or using "Generations GG Mode" in Accent Core, Instant Kills. Sure, they end the round automatically if they connect, but most are seriously difficult to hit with. If they know it's coming, it's damn near impossible, unless the opponent is stunned. In that case it's somewhat doable. | |

Going Cosmic | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_2cbbeaf5 | comment |
Going Cosmic: Averted. As noted above, various religious themes like sin and redemption have seen heavy use as underliers for the main conflicts of the series since Day 1, and one of the most prominent heroes, Ky Kiske, is a devout Christian whose idealism, personal integrity, and views on justice are repeatedly questioned by his ordeals. Even when the story is at its most grounded do deeply spiritual and existential matters crop up frequently. The promotional trailer for Guilty Gear X is but one example. | |

Gratuitous English | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: PLENTY. The "SLASH!" that punctuates a KO may qualify, given that it doesn't matter what kind of attack lands the finishing blow. The most interesting example is perhaps the intro trailer for Guilty Gear X. Now, the English might sound like a terrible dub job from that period... and that's because it is, as it was commissioned by a nascent ArcSys themselves for the Japanese version. The English voiceover was used even in the JP versions of the game; the initial narration was sometimes dubbed over in Japanese (on top of the still-audible English), but everything else was in English flat out (except May's orders in her scene, which are in Japanese in all versions). This is why the translation, especially of the narration, is a bit shonky and the acting isn't great - because it's what ArcSys wrote, sent over and commissioned. Needless to say, renditions of the game in vocal English have improved since then. | |

Force and Finesse | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_2f3668fa | comment |
Force and Finesse: Sol utilizes a rough, unpolished, "all guns blazing" style of combat and wields a blunt sword with no visible edge. Ky favors precision and, having been properly trained in the art of swordfighting, brandishes a longsword. | |

| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_313598b7 | comment |
Millennium Bug: The world of Guilty Gear effectively came into being in 1999, when an unknown lifeform (the Universal Will), manifested itself through electronic circuitry and caused a series of disasters for humanity, prompting the world to ban all technology and adopt magic to prevent complete societal collapse. | |

Dream Match Game | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_319037b9 | comment |
Dream Match Game: Guilty Gear XX is the closest the franchise has gotten into indulging into this. The series is rather famous for removing characters from the roster if they are killed off or otherwise written out of the story. It's why Kliff and Justice were not included in the X roster. In XX the two were both brought back as secret characters, with later revisions adding them to the base roster with heavy rebalancing. A.B.A., a new character created for the spinoff Isuka was also added to the roster in one of the later revisions. | |

Magic from Technology | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_3298415e | comment |
Magic from Technology: Magic in the GG verse is a perpetual energy source discovered through the fruits of science. Curiously, Ki is grouped in here as well, labelled as the fifth and least-known of the five elemental categories of Magic. The Post-War Administration Bureau theorizes that its prevalence in Eastern cultures may be due to their genetic makeup and deeply spiritual nature. In practice, though, the Magic in the series is actually more akin to magitek, as the energy source in question actually originates from the Backyard. | |

Humans Are Flawed | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_32e279c4 | comment |
Humans Are Flawed: A major theme of the setting and evident in some backstories. In Xrd, the primary reasoning for human suffering that is discussed is the Hedonic Treadmill, that human beings go from cherishing gifts and privileges, to expecting them and craving more. Sol, Slayer, Raven, and The Universal Will each complain about it. The Universal Will seeks to replace humanity with something she can "program" to always be happy. | |

Romanticism Versus Enlightenment | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_351e7cf9 | comment |
Romanticism Versus Enlightenment: Enlightenment ideas and technological science are basically deemed illegal and labelled "Black Technology", since it harms the environment, by the United Nations, which is ripe with religious fundamentalism, fascism and xenophobia. This comes across as extremely ironic as magic and the Gear Project were designed for human evolution, only for them to backfire horribly when they began to be used for human greed, resulting in the Crusades, which in turn resulted in humanity regressing into a Dark Ages-like society. The only "enlightened" might be Zepp, who were originally a Totalitarian Utilitarian government before being overthrown and taken over by Gabriel and subsequently reformed into a more democratic nation. | |

Rule of Cool: When your playable cast includes a blind assassin who kills people with the monster living in his shadow, a girl who shoots laser-spitting piranha fish out of her wings, and a ninja, and this barely scratches the surface, you can only be dealing with this trope. To put it another way, one of the playable fighters is a kusarigama-wielding fire user from England who involuntarily slips back and forth through time. He is quite possibly the most normal member of the cast. | |

Schizo Tech | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_3c5ae1a1 | comment |
Schizo Tech: Despite the series taking place in the late 22nd century, most real life countries and cities (London, Paris, Russia, China, etc.) appear not too far off from their present-day counterparts, and Illyria (a conglomeration of various European states) and Ganymede (an archipelago settlement founded by the refugee Gears) are no different presentation-wise (though the latter has a slight Atlantean vibe to it). Humanity being pushed to the brink of total annihilation may be the cause of the relative stagnation, but it could simply be a matter of architecture and urban structure deliberately going unchanged as civilization progresses. Zepp, being the only nation to preserve Black Tech as opposed to outlawing it, is decidedly more futuristic than most spots seen, though its heavy urbanization and focus on machinery makes it the Floating Country equivalent of a City Planet; some stages, like the ones in X/XX, have certain parts of Zepp's several islands looking no better than dumps and deserted construction sites. What's left of New York City in A Country, on the other hand, looks to have regressed to an Old West feel after extensive rebuilding by the time Xrd rolls around. | |

Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: Subverted in two ways; first, "good" characters like Sol, Baiken, Millia, and Anji and villainous characters like Zato-1 and I-No. Second, characters like Testament converted from evil to good. Also, Dizzy is the kindest, most innocent character in the series but she wears the skimpiest outfit. As of AC+, Anji may have become a villain. Though that ends up subverted that after one direct look at Baiken, and he called it quits and rejoins Baiken. | |

Non-Lethal K.O.: With the exception of Kliff and Justice in the original Guilty Gear, after each battle every single character seems perfectly all right and usually capable of speech, even if the battle ended with an Instant Kill, which appears to end in death. (This includes Faust's in GGXX, which looks like he set off a nuclear bomb, Bridget's, which launches the opponent into the moon, and Slayer's, which launches the enemy out of the galaxy.) | |

Lag Cancel | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_41d74667 | comment |
Lag Cancel: The Roman Cancel technique, which allows you to cancel the animation of nearly every move of the game provided that it connects with your opponent on hit or block and you have at least half meter. A variation is introduced in XX called the Force/False Roman Cancel (FRC) which happens if you cancel at a very specific time period during certain moves. Doing so will use up only one quarter of your meter and allow you to perform it without connecting with the opponent at all. Exclusive to Order-Sol is his ability to cancel his ground normals with his Charge animation and then cancel that into another normal and so on and so forth. To succeed, fast, brief inputs are necessary. | |

Always Female | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_44b834a0 | comment |
An uncommon case among most fighters in that every final boss in the main installments (including X and XX) has been a woman. In order, they are Justice, Dizzy, I-No, Valentine, Ramlethal Valentine and Jack-O Valentine.note As a note, it does need to be admitted that there are no "story mode" final bosses in the Xrd games because of the very different format of those story modes; however, not only does Sol, our main character himself, face Ramlethal and Jack-O at the end of his arcade/episode mode (which serves as a prequel story to the main story mode), those two also face the greatest number of other characters at the end of their episode modes, and so are considered the nearest thing the games have to a "final boss". For bonus points, they all share an at least tangential connection with one or more of the other characters on that list and at this point, I-no's the only one who shares no genetic relation with any of the others. Spin-offs Isuka, Dust Strikers, and Judgment break this convention with Leopaldon, Gig, and Judgment, though Gig plays around with it (he has a formerly human maiden sticking out from his lower body). The trend is finally broken in STRIVE, where Nagoriyuki serves as the first male final boss in a main installment. | |

Stance System: ABA has her normal mode and Moraha mode, which is activated by landing a command grab.

Jump Physics | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_44f79734 | comment |
Jump Physics: Everyone can double jump, save Chipp, who can triple jump. In addition, there are midair dashes. Justice can both triple jump and triple air dash. You can only imagine what that kind of mobility, combined with superior offense, defense, and attack priority compared to virtually every other character in the game, spells out for her as a character. Sadly, Justice's rebalancing in Plus R left her without her triple jump and any air dashes unless she performs a specific full-Tension Overdrive (Omega Shift), and even then it's temporary. Kliff stands out in that his jumps are extremely floaty, much like those of Dhalsim or Anakaris. In AC+R, however, this was severely toned-down as part of his rebalancing. | |

Xrd Revelator has one at the end of its story as well, despite it initially seeming to end on both a high note and a very definitive note. So Jack-O merges with Justice, Aria is reborn, the Universal Will is defeated, Elphelt is saved. But That Man - Asuka R. Kreuz, Sol's former friend - confronts Sol in The Stinger and admits that with Aria whole again, it is time they settle their own business at last. And also, Aria is whole again... except her Justice half didn't want to merge, because it was wracked with guilt over the atrocities it had committed. Just what mental state is Aria going to be in when she wakes up? And that is on of top of whatever I-No is planning to do. | |

The backdrop of the final battle in Xrd is none other than the ruins of Japan. All prior story material tells you that Justice annihilated it, and make no mistake, the claim is no exaggeration at all. | |

Scenery Porn: Although the world suffered heavily as a result of the Gear attacks, the various locales you see in-game do a good job of showcasing its remaining beauty, both natural and man-made. Stages in X, XX/AC, and Isuka like Russia, China, London, and the Japanese Colony are breathtaking, and even more otherworldly places like the Grove, the Phantom City, and Kingdom Cemetery have their own charm. To say nothing of the backdrops in Overture. The Gear utopia (and island paradise) Ganymede comes leaping to mind. Xrd looks set to continue the trend with equally colorful and vibrant destinations, both returning and new. | |

Humans Are the Real Monsters | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_4ac8b81f | comment |
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Gears were originally intended to be the next step in human evolution, hence the name "Gear". However, after officials saw the technology's power, it was decided to weaponize it instead. Similarly, the first two "successful" gears, Sol/Frederick and Justice/Aria, were gearized without their consent, with each suffering Power Incontinence and Brainwashed and Crazy respectively as a consequence of That Man's Evilutionary Biologist attempt to "help" them. It's even alluded to in Guilty Gear -STRIVE- with this line serving as a match intro: "Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the Beasts." | |

Like Eddie, the puppet Zappa has disappears instantly if either of them get hit once. If Zappa lands eight specials in a single round, the next summon will be Roah, which makes him extremely overpowered for fifteen seconds. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Missing Link can feel like a radically different game compared to the rest of the series. No Roman Cancel, a radically unbalanced roster along with a rather different visual style compared to the higher-resolution games that would follow, Baiken being a secret Optional Boss rather than a proper roster member, and various other quirks. Most infamously, Instant Kills didn't require any sort of meter nor had any consequences, were easy to confirm into and boiled down to finishing another input faster than your opponent could respond, and ended the match right then and there compared to later games. The AI abused this with impunity. | |

Cutting Off the Branches | |

Cutting Off the Branches: Justice's story mode in Accent Core Plus (a retelling of the first game) is something to behold. Basically all arcades in the original game are turned non-canon, Justice kills Kliff, beats the crap out of everyone in the original cast with the exception of the characters that aren't in AC+ (at least not how they were in the first game), fights Sol and dies after he gets a Heroic Second Wind. | |

Book Ends: The beginning and the end of Xrd story mode has Elphelt nullifying Ramlethal's Taking You with Me attempt on Sol, and Ramlethal nullifying Elphelt's Dying as Yourself attempt, respectively. Sol's story arc began with him discarding his identity as Frederick Bulsara and assuming the moniker of Sol Badguy. At the end of -STRIVE-, he discards his persona of the hero Sol Badguy by faking his death and lives the rest of his life once again as Frederick Bulsara. | |

Tactical Superweapon Unit: Guilty Gear 2: Overture (the Oddball in the Series with heavy Real-Time Strategy elements) has Elite Servants. They're usually stronger than a character's normal Servants, but are much more expensive to summon, and only one of each type can be active at any given time. | |

Several in Xrd, to the point that its Story Mode ends with a "To Be Continued." Sol, likely along with Sin and an emotionally-developed Ramlethal have to save Elphelt from her captors. Ky has been revealed to be part-Gear, and Dizzy has been revived. May's illness has yet to be fully resolved, and Faust's research of her reveals something nasty is going to go down in Japan. Zato-1 has been revived, implying more possibilities for the Assassin's Guild. The fate of That Man after the battle hasn't been revealed yet. Bedman's plan isn't finished, and he is The Dragon to Ariels, ruler of the Sanctus Populi. | |

Just Think of the Potential!: The Gear Project started out with the goal to get rid of illness and disease, but That Man foresaw that someone will eventually repurpose it for military applications, and had measures taken to prevent that, or in worse case destroy the research. Obviously, they didn't work. | |

Government Conspiracy | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_5a4aa505 | comment |
This is justified to a degree: Dizzy is Justice's daughter, has the ability to resuscitate dormant Gears (which makes her a target of the Government Conspiracy), and is called "the hope of the world" by That Man (who always seems to know what lies ahead), while I-No is one of That Man's servants and was the only one playable until Raven was given his turn in GG2 (thus usually providing the most direct link to her enigmatic master). The two, while not quite Demoted to Extra, also lose some of their direct presence in later games: Dizzy is put into stasis due to a timeseal Ky caused to prevent her sublimation and serves as more of a plot device than an actual character in Overture, and I-No is overshadowed by other plot-centric villains and characters (Crow in AC+, Ramlethal Valentine in Xrd Sign and Jack-O and Ariels in Xrd Revelator) after XX. | |

Aggressive Play Incentive | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_5a4c636e | comment |
Aggressive Play Incentive: The game gives you a Negative Penalty, rapidly lowering your Tension Gauge and temporarily making it take longer to build back up, if you fail to take any offensive action for a long period of time. On the other hand, playing aggressively enough (such as performing a Wall Break in -STRIVE-) gives you a Positive Bonus. | |

Inconsistent Dub | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_5b607875 | comment |
Inconsistent Dub: Official translations of the characters' special technique can vary wildly, be it slight changes in spelling to complete reworkings of the wording/phrasing. The games have flip-flopped a lot on which move is named what, and some of the (newly) "official" names may end sounding less natural than previous translations. Part of this has been caused by the series having four different English publishers over its lifetime (Atlus, American Sammy, Majesco, and then Aksys), with a bevy of translation teams. It's been more consistent since Aksys became the franchise's more or less permanent publisher, though, though occasionally there's still a slip-up. | |

Transhuman | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_5b84f2a | comment |
Transhuman: Gears were intended to be the next step in human evolution (hence "the missing link" that is the first game's subtitle). As the Gear conversion process applies a patchwork of various animal genes to the base organism, only a handful of Gears who were originally human retain any semblance of their humanity in a physiological and anatomical sense. Additionally, only a few of them are lucky to retain their cognizance, though Gears do have the potential to evolve (back) to human levels of sentience. | |

Magic Genetics: Human magic users mostly sidestep this as they were the ones who discovered magic in the first place and have to follow complex rules in order to use it.

The Seven Mysteries | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_5f6b941c | comment |
The Seven Mysteries: Of the 8 Jinki from the Outrage set, only 4 of them are shown: Sol's Fireseal/Fuenken, Ky's Thunderseal/Furaiken, Anji's Zessen, and Slayer, who has a dagger which can cut through Forbidden Beasts. While we never see it properly on its own, the Flashing Fang/Senga is later acquired by Sol at some point after Guilty Gear XX and combined with the Fireseal to make the Junkyard Dog MkIII where it takes the form of a bladed shell around the Fireseal that can split down the middle to reveal the sword underneath. Likewise, this is suggested of the aforementioned Forbidden Beasts, also known as the "Six Forbidden Magics." Only two, Eddie and Angra (the fifth and sixth organisms according to supplemental materials, respectively tethered to Zato and Millia), have been seen so far, with Venom being a third test subject for the bonding process who was rejected when his body was deemed unsuitable as host material. | |

Mechanically Unusual Fighter | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_5fc1c4b5 | comment |
Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Robo-Ky has to manage two different meters. One is a thermostat, which builds up as he fights and can only be vented via a certain command or risk a damaging explosion. He also has a power gauge which, unlike everyone else, cannot be charged conventionally and can only be charged via a laid-out power mat or his command grab. His special and Overdrive attacks drain from this power gauge. Order-Sol is a downplayed example (and borderline subversion), possessing a Charge Meter that improves his specials and Overdrives as he gains levels. Using his specials will drain a fair amount of meter (though the drain rate was decreased in AC+R), which will then need to be recharged. While it is certainly possible to use O.Sol to deadly effect without charging up, players who can properly manage his level of charge—which includes using Action Charge note pressing D after any special aside of Charge and Charge Burst to restore a portion of his meter and his ability to "Charge Keep" note using the Level 1 versions of specials instead of the Level 2 or Level 3 ones by inputting D along with the specific command; Gun Blaze is the sole exception, as the directional input overlaps with Charge's—will literally get the most bang for their buck. Sin in Xrd has a similar mechanic, but his second meter is filled by using a special where he just eats a bite of mutton in the middle of the fight. All of the Valentines in Xrd have some kind of unique mechanic based on another genre of gaming. Ramlethal has canned combos similar to other fighting games like Mortal Kombat, Elphelt primarily uses guns, and Jack'O takes advantage of her Servants. Xrd newcomer Elphelt is an oddity among the entire cast in that she relies heavily on guns to keep opponents at bay, wielding a shotgun and a sniper rifle. Players have to enter a specific command to have Elphelt line up her shots and then have to manually aim before firing. Unless a reload command is input, Elphelt will immediately stow away her weapon until its next use. She also has a move where she pulls the pin on a grenade with a three second timer. Actually throwing the grenade is a separate command, so it can explode in her pocket if the player forgets to throw it. Johnny has to manage a truly limited resource, his coins. If a coin toss hits, it will power up the next use of his signature Mist Finer, giving the move incredible range and power. But with only five coins per round (unless he successfully uses the Treasure Hunt super and restocks his stash), he has to toss them carefully. Some characters in -STRIVE- have unique mechanics: Ramlethal can propel her swords forward, which reduces the power and range of her attacks until they return. Nagoriyuki is a vampire and must manage Blood Gauge, gaining charge with most attacks and reducing it with a command grab. When it maxes out, he gains a massive boost to damage but constantly loses HP until he exits the bloodlust state, either over time or by using a bloodlust-exclusive Overdrive. Goldlewis, the first DLC character for -STRIVE-, has several variations of his Behemoth Typhoon special, depending on what direction the player makes a half-circle in when performing it. Happy Chaos, the third -STRIVE- DLC character and slightly insane godlike being, is impressively complicated compared to the iteration's generally streamlined design. He doesn't have a traditional Heavy Slash attack, instead pulling out a gun in exchange for no longer being able to block. The use of which is limited by two separate meters - ammo and concentration, the latter representing the scatterbrained omniscient's ability to remember how to shoot. If that's not enough, the gun does aim automatically, but this is represented by a crosshair overlaid on the screen, which tracks at a rate influenced by the opponent's movement, Chaos' attacks, and even a debuff he can inflict. The gun can be fired at any time, including during attacks, without interrupting the character's other actions. Then Asuka R#, the ninth -STRIVE- DLC character, was added to the game with even more unusual mechanics: combining a mana gauge with a "hand" of 4 Specials to spend that mana on with his Chant Special, as well as a Special where he can swap decks, or "Test Cases" as they're called in-game, for an entirely different set of Specials. He has so many "Spells" to cast that they have their own menu if he's in a match! In a way, playing as Asuka is almost like playing Magic: The Gathering or Yu-Gi-Oh! instead of Guilty Gear. | |

Guilty Gear 2: Overture. It's set after a 5-year Time Skip (with some rather big developments happening during that missing chunk of time), all characters gone except for Sol and Ky (who are redesigned), and all the other settings are gone. The characters part is lessened after Xrd comes in, confirming that characters from the Assassins' Guild (Millia, Zato/Eddie, Venom, Slayer), Jellyfish Pirates (Johnny, May), Potemkin, Chipp, Axl and I-No are still around. REVELATOR and Rev 2 eventually confirmed the whereabouts of everyone except for Testament, Bridget and A.B.A.. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: The series contains your typical endgame bosses with abilities or juiced-up moves not available in their playable formats, sometimes with permanently-recharging Tension gages. The Gold and Shadow palette swaps available for CPU's in the XX series can also qualify for many of the same reasons. Playing The Missing Link nowadays highlights that for as broken and abusable as the Instant Kills were in that game, the computer is especially guilty of deciding to just hit-confirm into an instant kill state and then finish the input to destroy you before you could ever reasonably react, whenever they damn well pleased with no way to see it coming or predict it. Good luck ever fighting the Optional Boss without using save states. | |

Nintendo Hard: Some of the missions in the series can be incredibly frustrating due to overwhelming odds stacked against the player, e.g. Mission 50 in Guilty Gear X2/Mission 100 in Reload, Normal Ky at 50% Health and poisoned vs Gold EX Sol with regeneration. Note that Gold Sol already has regeneration and boosted speed and attack. His attack and speed is boosted even further because he's in permanent Dragon Install. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: Several in Xrd, to the point that its Story Mode ends with a "To Be Continued." Sol, likely along with Sin and an emotionally-developed Ramlethal have to save Elphelt from her captors. Ky has been revealed to be part-Gear, and Dizzy has been revived. May's illness has yet to be fully resolved, and Faust's research of her reveals something nasty is going to go down in Japan. Zato-1 has been revived, implying more possibilities for the Assassin's Guild. The fate of That Man after the battle hasn't been revealed yet. Bedman's plan isn't finished, and he is The Dragon to Ariels, ruler of the Sanctus Populi. Xrd REV 2's After Story drops some major hints about a future installment. Raven is looking to challenge Sol, who is also being challenged by That Man. That Man turns himself over to the authorities, in an obvious bid to arrange a fight with Sol. Finally, another worldwide event known as G4 will be taking place. And of course, the reconstituted Aria pointedly does not appear on camera at any point during the After Stories. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_62f9d08e | comment |
Freeze-Frame Bonus: As of Xrd, most of the characters have tiny inscriptions on parts of their outfits, such as "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine" written on the back of Faust's coat and "Settle With Elegance" engraved on Venom's glove. These can be seem more easily in -REVELATOR-'s Digital Figure mode. This was also the case in Overture, such as the "Nonsugar" engraving on Valentine's sleeves and the words "Proteus" and "Universe" adorning That Man's robes in a multitude of spots, as well as the phrase "Heven Made Men For Its Reason, Men Respect Men For Their Own Sake" scribbled on their back coattails. | |

Replacement Goldfish | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_643618e5 | comment |
Replacement Goldfish: Bedman uses this trope as way of proving to Ramlethal that she is more than a tool. He kills Sin's magehound she bonded with during her arrest and conjures an identical one. Ramlethal tries to pet the new one, but stops and begins to cry, saying it is not the same. | |

Ship Sinking: Hoo boy, did Overture ever trip over this land mine. Dizzy had a very wide number of people she was close to in the series, but it was ultimately decided in Overture that she'd be paired up with Ky Kiske while the rest don't appear at all. More like a Ship Hull Breach, but in STRIVE, let's just say Ramlethal/Sin shippers were not happy that Ram is suddenly interested and "admires" Leo. | |

The Reveal | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: The "Guilty Gear" gets name-dropped often in The Missing Link but we only find out what it is at the end. Or rather, who. It's Sol Badguy, our hero. Sol was once a brilliant scientist named Frederick working on a project to perfect the next stage of human evolution, the Gears, but his creations turned out to be monstrous, human-hating Jerks and began rampaging across the world killing people. What's worse, Freddy was betrayed and turned into a Gear by his Visionary Villain friend, Asuka. Filled with regret and desire for revenge against the man who wronged him, Frederick adopted the Sol Badguy persona and became a Hunter of His Own Kind for the next 170 years. Except that's just how Sol sees it; the truth is much more complicated... | |

Casting Gag | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: Iemasa Kayumi, Slayer's original voice actor, was the regular Japanese dub voice of Christopher Lee, whose most famous role was playing Dracula. After Iemasa Kayumi passed away, Slayer's role was recast to Takaya Hashi, who is certainly no stranger to playing immortal characters, or ones with powerful fighting styles associated with the stars and the heavens. Baiken's new voice actress, Mayumi Asano, voiced a samurai's wife. In Strive, Robbie Daymond voices the psychotic antagonist Happy Chaos, who has Trickster God elements to him. This is certainly not the first time he's played such a character. In Strive, Jack-O' Valentine is voiced by Nicole Tompkins (Jill Valentine) from Resident Evil 3 (Remake). In Strive, Asuka mentions wanting to start a radio show in order to help spread mutual understanding between everyone in the world. He's also voiced by Tomokazu Sugita in the Japanese version, who happens to have hosted several online radio shows including BlazBlue Radio. In the English dub of Strive's story mode, POTUS Colin Vernon is voiced by Anthony Alabi, former offensive tackle for the Miami Dolphins. Vernon, of course, is shown to have a fondness for the ol' pigskin. Testament is an androgynous character who evokes nightmarish, occult imagery. In Strive, they are voiced by Yuu Kobayashi, who is not only no stranger to playing both female and male roles, but is known for her very nightmarish artwork. A more straightforward example occurs in the English dub as their English VA, Kayleigh McKee, is transgender. | |

Third Is 3D: Well, Xrd (with three Xs) uses 3D models as opposed to 2D sprites from the previous games, though technically it's the fourth main fighting game entry in the series (possibly even the fifth if you consider the changes between vanilla XX and Accent Core Plus, both in gameplay and the story department, to be enough for AC+ to stand on its own). In an odd twist, the model animation has no tweening and different shading every frame, making them look much like hand-drawn sprites. | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_76a5eaf8 | comment |
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Barring Sol and Ky, some characters are a little bit too prominent to the central plot, especially Dizzy. This is followed by I-No, who gets some moments with the aforementioned character as well. This is justified to a degree: Dizzy is Justice's daughter, has the ability to resuscitate dormant Gears (which makes her a target of the Government Conspiracy), and is called "the hope of the world" by That Man (who always seems to know what lies ahead), while I-No is one of That Man's servants and was the only one playable until Raven was given his turn in GG2 (thus usually providing the most direct link to her enigmatic master). The two, while not quite Demoted to Extra, also lose some of their direct presence in later games: Dizzy is put into stasis due to a timeseal Ky caused to prevent her sublimation and serves as more of a plot device than an actual character in Overture, and I-No is overshadowed by other plot-centric villains and characters (Crow in AC+, Ramlethal Valentine in Xrd Sign and Jack-O and Ariels in Xrd Revelator) after XX. | |

Immortality Begins at Twenty | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_7ffca8c4 | comment |
Immortality Begins at Twenty: Seems to be the case for the Gears (the humanoid ones, at least), who already exhibit vastly accelerated aging processes and are functionally ageless. Once they hit physical and mental maturity or were already in their prime when converted, they stop aging and remain in their current state indefinitely. For example, Testament appears to be in their twenties despite being at least three times that old and the 170+ Sol looks no older than when he worked on the Gear Project back in the early 21st century. | |

Open Secret: The creators provide many examples of this.

An example is Faust being a reformed Dr. Baldhead. It's never been explicitly stated, but come on, how many nine-foot-tall doctors wielding giant scalpels can there be? | |

Turn of the Millennium | |

Turn of the Millennium: In 1999, a year that would be later known as the "Dawn of Revival", something tried to enter reality through electric circuitry, while affecting everyone in a way that might be described as being touched by God. Anything electronic was banned, and despite the negative drastic changes it would bring, nobody complained because everyone was that scared of that something actually succeeding coming through. As global society was about to collapse, a group of mages calling themselves the Apostles revealed themselves and began teaching the willing of the ways of magic. By 2010, the usage of magic was standardized, with the Apostles themselves becoming a foundation of a new religion. | |

This was also the case in Overture, such as the "Nonsugar" engraving on Valentine's sleeves and the words "Proteus" and "Universe" adorning That Man's robes in a multitude of spots, as well as the phrase "Heven Made Men For Its Reason, Men Respect Men For Their Own Sake" scribbled on their back coattails. | |

Puzzle Boss | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_84f4a870 | comment |
Puzzle Boss: Many of the missions in XX. One particularly notable example: you have to defend against an invincible, high-level A.I. I-No for 40 seconds, when your character is incredibly weak (Bridget), has half health, and is also poisoned. That Man in Overture infamously combines this with Shielded Core Boss and Bullet Hell. Much rage will be had. | |

Humanoid Abomination | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_851dda8f | comment |
-STRIVE- aesthetically is darker than any of the previous entries. While still beautifully animated, the colors are more muted and the silly over-the-top facial expressions are missing. This is especially noticeable with Faust, who is now more of a Humanoid Abomination instead of the jovial doctor from Guilty Gear X onward. Ironically, it ends the story for many of the main characters on a fairly happy note. | |

Random Number God | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_869ffa6b | comment |
Random Number God: The Fishing mode in Xrd -REVELATOR-. Spend World Dollars earned in-game to unlock items for cheaper than if they were bought in the in-game storenote W$200 per item instead of W$1,000-W$10,000, W$200,000 in the case of unlocking Raven. The outcome of what you earn is randomized, and items that exist in more plentiful numbers (primarily Guild Icons, which are purely cosmetic, and Sprays in the Digital Figure mode, which grant access to Palette Swaps) are more commonly won, and the contents of Digital Figure mode are exclusively won from fishing. | |

Badass Army: While we only see/hear of the efforts of the main players (i.e. Sol, Ky, Kliff, and Justice), both the Gears and the Holy Knights count, seeing as the Crusades lasted over a century and probably would have continued on longer had it not been for Justice's sealing (indeed, in the Bad Future, the Crusades continue on for at least another eight). | |

Hit Stop | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_88a740b0 | comment |
Hit Stop: Trope Namer. In this case it's used for gameplay purposes: when a character gets hit, the short pause in animation allows the player to react to it and confirm into a combo. Scoring a Counter Hit increases the pause even more. Xrd has a feature known as Danger Time, triggered randomly by a clash of two opposing attacks, where a successful hit off of canceling the clashed attack will cause a Mortal Counter, a special type of Counter Hit with even longer hit stun that can also be canceled into any other type of attack. | |

Willfully Weak | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_8941750b | comment |
Willfully Weak: A number of characters are powerful enough to literally level cities in seconds, but would rather not resort to displaying their full powers. Slayer for instance does it to give his opponent a sporting chance. Dizzy is a Technical Pacifist who won't use her full powers for fear of killing innocent bystanders or even her opponent. Sol is both a lazy prick and fears suffering Power Incontinence and burning down everything for miles if he resorts to using his full abilities. | |

Beat Them at Their Own Game | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_8a6d2168 | comment |
Beat Them at Their Own Game: Realizing that the solution to the Gear problem wasn't more Gears (a lesson likely learned when Testament went rogue thanks to Justice's powers), the Post-War Administration Bureau sought to create an anti-Gear weapon derived from Gear technology, resulting in the parasitic/symbiotic Forbidden Beasts. Gears instinctively know that Forbidden Beasts are their enemies, explaining the nostalgia Testament and Dizzy feel around Eddie, and Eddie rationalizes during AC+ that a Gear's body would be able to sustain him better than Zato's did due to the similarities in physiology. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Guilty Gear 2: Overture. It's set after a 5-year Time Skip (with some rather big developments happening during that missing chunk of time), all characters gone except for Sol and Ky (who are redesigned), and all the other settings are gone. The characters part is lessened after Xrd comes in, confirming that characters from the Assassins' Guild (Millia, Zato/Eddie, Venom, Slayer), Jellyfish Pirates (Johnny, May), Potemkin, Chipp, Axl and I-No are still around. REVELATOR and Rev 2 eventually confirmed the whereabouts of everyone except for Testament, Bridget and A.B.A.. Late in Xrd's Story mode, it is revealed that as part of their effort to conquer the world, the Conclave plan to resurrect Justice, the Gear that nearly destroyed the human race during the Crusades. It also heavily establishes that That Man was Good All Along to try to stop this plan, and overall his motivations are much more sympathetic than they originally were thought to be. Xrd Revelator manages to trump them all by revealing that Sanctus Maximus Populi Ariels is actually the Universal Will, the being that not only created the Valentines but is also the same being who first brought magic into the world, essentially creating the whole setting of the series. And not only that, but she was also an A.I. created by The Original visitor to the Backyard in an effort to guide humanity. Unfortunately she concluded that humanity's inherent destructiveness made them hopeless and the best thing to do was to exterminate them all, making her the definitive Big Bad of the series. | |

Cliff Hanger | |

Cliffhanger: In Xrd, at the end of Sol's Arcade story, the Big Bads start wiping out an entire city. Afterwards, Ramlethal grabs Sol with the intent of destroying him along with herself, thus setting the stage for the console version's Story Mode. Then once more in Xrd: After defeating the revived Justice, she and Elphelt (who was saved from going One-Winged Angel) are pulled back into the Backyard. Sol vows to find a way to save her. Meanwhile, Faust interogates Chronus, the last surviving member of the Conclave, about what he knows about what's happening to the Japanese, only for both of them to realize there is someone else who has been pulling the Conclave's strings! Xrd Revelator has one at the end of its story as well, despite it initially seeming to end on both a high note and a very definitive note. So Jack-O merges with Justice, Aria is reborn, the Universal Will is defeated, Elphelt is saved. But That Man - Asuka R. Kreuz, Sol's former friend - confronts Sol in The Stinger and admits that with Aria whole again, it is time they settle their own business at last. And also, Aria is whole again... except her Justice half didn't want to merge, because it was wracked with guilt over the atrocities it had committed. Just what mental state is Aria going to be in when she wakes up? And that is on of top of whatever I-No is planning to do. Done one final time with the story added with Rev2. Sol and Ky put their heads together theorizing how Sol could possibly defeat Asuka, but before Ky can tell Sol what his single idea is the news drops that Asuka, as the world's single most wanted criminal, has willingly surrendered himself to the United States government, setting up the events of STRIVE, the Grand Finale of the series. STRIVE also has one in the finale, where Happy Chaos is still at large after being separated from I-No. | |

Death or Glory Attack | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_9446f847 | comment |
Death or Glory Attack: Instant Kills. X onward, you either have one connect and win or miss/is blocked and you lose your Tension bar. Add to the fact that they can't combo and it's easy to see you don't see them used often in Tournament Play. They see a bit more use starting in Xrd: Sign. When you are at match point (a victory will win the match), and the opponent's health s reduced to 20% and not in a combo, or 10% while still in one, they will enter hellfire, and your tension bar will turn gold. If you have enough meter at that point, you can then Roman Cancel, activate instant kill mode and trigger a superfreeze, and actually include the instant kill in a combo (normally it will whiff if the opponent is in hitstun). Since opponents at low health take reduced damage (some of them significantly less than others), this is sometimes the only combo that will actually finish off the opponent at that time without softening them up with another combo first. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Besides the usual edition transition troubles, Xrd in particular gets this because of the major changes to the Roman Cancel system and being based on #Reload, four editions before AC+R and the last one Daisuke Ishiwatari had a direct role developing before switching his attention to Overture. Guilty Gear's fighting game installments as a whole are pretty notorious among would-be players for being difficult to learn because of this trope. To wit: Characters have different falling rate, meaning some air combos don't work on everybody. Guts system causes a character to take less damage as their hitpoints get lower, which means combo routes that would normally K.O. no longer works properly and forces the players to adjust their combo (for more damage or more hit counts) mid-match. Burst mechanic inflicts this trope on opponents who don't vary their combos to avoid getting pushed away. Some characters have their hurtbox shrink while dashing, causing certain moves to whiff. Changes can be so minute that the characters all have different post-knockdown wakeup timing and backdash invulnerability duration, which necessitate different punish method or timing entirely. Unlike most other fighting games where characters usually have couple 'standardized' moves with clear purposes (long pokes, set-play etc.) Characters in GG often rely on unorthodox and difficult means to cover their weakness and get their game going. (Sol's reliance on hard reads, Baiken's guard-cancels, Slayer's Dandy Step for examples) This means more mental load for the players as they have to learn all 20+ wildly unique character match-ups and adjust their execution accordingly. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The Force Roman Cancel (FRC) in the XX series. Only applicable to specific moves, an FRC uses less Tension meter than a regular Roman Cancel and can also work even if the move doesn't connect (whereas regular RCs must actually make contact, meaning you can make non-safe attacks safe by expending 25% of your Tension gauge). However the frame window to perform these is very small and if you miss it, you'll just get a regular RC and burn more meter (or in the case of whiffed attacks, nothing at all, meaning your attack is now unsafe). The reward is that FRC moves often have excellent practical purposes or add an interesting layer to your moveset. For instance, Sol generally doesn't get great pressure after a knockdown thanks to the nature of his combos, but he can FRC his Gunflame move to send it out and run behind it. This lets him put out pressure from midscreen after a combo and dramatically improves the effectiveness of his pressure game. | |

Justice can both triple jump and triple air dash. You can only imagine what that kind of mobility, combined with superior offense, defense, and attack priority compared to virtually every other character in the game, spells out for her as a character. Sadly, Justice's rebalancing in Plus R left her without her triple jump and any air dashes unless she performs a specific full-Tension Overdrive (Omega Shift), and even then it's temporary. | |

Leitmotif | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_9f6fb586 | comment |
Leitmotif: With the exception of Guilty Gear Isuka (unless you count "Holy Orders?" for Robo-Ky) and rivalry-specific themes, each character has their own distinct tune when fought. Most have been consistent since GGX note of the original cast, 7 of the game's 13 fighters (Sol, Ky, Millia, Chipp, Baiken, Kliff, and Justice) retained their original themes in later titles and XX even brought back "No Mercy" (Sol vs. Ky) and "Still in the Dark" (Millia vs. Zato-1/Eddie) from the previous game for when the EX versions of the characters face off. Surprisingly, Xrd does away with all of the previous character themes (even longstanding ones like "Keep Yourself Alive") for a new batch of individual tunes, aside of Ky (see Background Music Override) and Ramlethal Valentine (who gets a remix of "Diva" from Overture, the previous Valentine's theme). STRIVE once again did away with themes established in the previous installments in lieu of new ones, although they contain call-backs to previous tracks. | |

The Korean OST for XX. While it's not bad at all (in fact many of the entries are every bit as awesome in their own way as the standard Japanese themes), it's less energetic and it often goes full blown post-apocalyptic heavy metal. Still, it's just the Korean version, and you get the option switch back to the Japanese soundtrack if you prefer. Just one example, compare and contrast Chipp Zanuff's familiar Japanese bop "Suck a Sage" versus his Korean theme "Child of the Wind"... and Chipp's supposed to be the game's Plucky Comic Relief! | |

Puppet Fighter | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_a851f224 | comment |
Puppet Fighter: Zato-1 can summon Eddie, who moves at the same time as him, can't jump, and disappears if either of them take any damage. Eddie attacks when releasing a button, so using him might take some practice. At the end of X, Zato-1 dies and Eddie takes over his body. Bridget can place a yoyo in midair with a normal. She can command it to return to her, attack on it's own, form a shield, or latch on to the opponent. She can also go to the yoyo, giving her different movement options. Zappa is a mix of this and Stance System. When he summons a puppet, he'll get one of three and need to adjust his playstyle accordingly: If he gets a sword, he can use it for constant pokes, but it replaces his H moves. If he gets a dog, he can command it at any time and use it to cut off the opponents' options. If he gets three ghosts, his range increases and he can attach status effects on the opponent. Like Eddie, the puppet Zappa has disappears instantly if either of them get hit once. If Zappa lands eight specials in a single round, the next summon will be Roah, which makes him extremely overpowered for fifteen seconds. | |

Final Boss | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_ad4a45be | comment |
Final Boss: An uncommon case among most fighters in that every final boss in the main installments (including X and XX) has been a woman. In order, they are Justice, Dizzy, I-No, Valentine, Ramlethal Valentine and Jack-O Valentine.note As a note, it does need to be admitted that there are no "story mode" final bosses in the Xrd games because of the very different format of those story modes; however, not only does Sol, our main character himself, face Ramlethal and Jack-O at the end of his arcade/episode mode (which serves as a prequel story to the main story mode), those two also face the greatest number of other characters at the end of their episode modes, and so are considered the nearest thing the games have to a "final boss". For bonus points, they all share an at least tangential connection with one or more of the other characters on that list and at this point, I-no's the only one who shares no genetic relation with any of the others. Spin-offs Isuka, Dust Strikers, and Judgment break this convention with Leopaldon, Gig, and Judgment, though Gig plays around with it (he has a formerly human maiden sticking out from his lower body). The trend is finally broken in STRIVE, where Nagoriyuki serves as the first male final boss in a main installment. And for even greater bonus points, Ariels the Universal Will would've been a boss character in previous games, and she's another woman. She appears more or less exclusively in the Xrd story modes, however. | |

Charge-Input Special | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_ae731508 | comment |
Charge-Input Special: May has charge inputs for many of her specials that utilize her pet dolphins. "Mr. Dolphin" can travel both horizontally and vertically, giving May the ability to close in from multiple angles. Combined with a variety of projectiles and a powerful Grapple Move, May can exert a lot of pressure from all over the stage. Axl Low's Signature Move, "Rensen Geki", requires a back-forward motion to execute, resulting in a very long-ranged strike with his chain sickle. He can also follow up with additional commands like angling the chain upwards or performing a spinning attack. Leo Whitefang is an odd case. "Gravierte Wurde" and "Eisensturm" function like a standard charge projectile and anti-air respectively. In contrast to the typically defensive archetype associated with charge inputs, Leo's defensive moves can seamlessly transition into a very aggressive rushdown style that makes him a beast at close quarters. | |

Punch-Kick Layout | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_b2603859 | comment |
Punch-Kick Layout: Guilty Gear's control layout includes a punch and a kick button, followed then by buttons for a character's "slash" and "heavy slash" which uses their weapon. The punch button has a forward input that gives most fighters an Anti-Air, making their upper body completely invincible for the duration. Kicks meanwhile become a quick and close-ranged low attack when crouching. From the first game all the way to Guilty Gear Xrd, punches can be followed by kicks due to how the game's combo routing works, allowing for any attack to be followed by one of stronger value (hence kicks are "stronger" than punches); Guilty Gear -STRIVE- changes it so punches and kicks can only be stringed into themselves, not each other. | |

For STRIVE in particular, despite May, Ramlethal and Faust being part of the base roster, they have no participation whatsoever in the original Story Mode while everyone else in the initial roster had some degree of screen time; they, alongside other characters outside the base roster, are only present in the epilogue. | |

Cool Ship: While there are a few throughout the series, the best example by far is the Mayship, gradually-evolving flagship of the Jellyfish Pirates. It's a massive vessel vaguely shaped like a whale, fitting for the crew's nautical theme. It gets even cooler in STRIVE where it becomes even more whale-like, even moving its tail and fins as if it's swimming through the skies. It even gets a squadron of mechanical fish, dolphins, manta rays, and other sea creatures flying alongside it, making some parts of the stage evoke an underwater theme in spite of being in the sky. | |

Capcom Sequel Stagnation: Guilty Gear XX saw five updated releases between 2002 and 2012 - at first just because the assets were still good, but after Accent Core it was because the rights to the franchise got weird. Each update did add more to the game, though. Xrd was more stable, only sitting at three revisions (-SIGN-, -REVELATOR- and Rev2). -STRIVE- managed to finally subvert this by getting no revisions at all - instead being divided into 'seasons', updates that added new DLC characters or even added brand new mechanics. | |

Cycle of Hurting: All over the place, with Sol's Dust Loop and Zato/Eddie's 50/50 (corner) mix-ups being notoriously standout examples. Even the original game could get a little ridiculous with this one quite often. This is likely due to the game focusing on very heavy mobility with fast-pacing while also having no extra getup options, which makes okizeme (lit. wakeup offense) somewhat easy to maintain for those who apply proper aggression. | |

Kaiju | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_c34a1799 | comment |
Kaiju: Megadeth-class Gears are utterly titanic creatures that wouldn't look out of place tussling with Godzilla. Like with any other Gear, they range from "(vaguely) humanoid" to "hideous monstrosity." One of them, Hydra, was responsible for nearly destroying London; it was stopped by the efforts of Kliff, who halted the beast's advance for an entire week, and even then was he unable to completely finish it off before the Sacred Order rolled out Last Resort—a magic-based satellite laser with a several kilometer-wide blast radius—and sealed Hydra away. (He did manage to sever three of its five heads and four limbs, though.) | |

Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_c5594984 | comment |
Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe: The survivors of Japan's destruction are now sequestered in a colony as "international treasures." It is implied the government is actually studying them for their affinity for "Ki" magic, the rarest and least understood of the five different magic elements. The actual reason for keeping them in a reservation is to prevent them from being turned into living bombs by the Universal Will. | |

Border-Occupying Decorations | |

Border-Occupying Decorations: The series wasn't designed for a 16:9 aspect ratio until Xrd. Thus, ports of older entries to widescreen systems, such as the PlayStation Portable, Play Station Vita, and HD systems added decorative sidebars to keep the fighting in a 4:3 aspect ratio. | |

The Tokyo Fireball: Actually extends past Tokyo: the entire nation of Japan was destroyed prior to the games, and there are no signs that it will be rebuilt (what with it largely being a hole in the ocean now). What few survivors remain live under international surveillance inside of colonies. | |

Idle Animation: Several, from Sol cracking his neck to Slayer tugging at the collar of his shirt to Venom chalking up his cue. Xrd adds more, like Ky waving around his blade in a circular motion for a bit (presumably to keep his sword arm loose and limber) and May stretching a few times before striking a cute pose. | |

Fan Disservice: Under normal circumstances, Raven would not be considered an ugly man, but his frightening faces and bizarre psycho-sexual mannerisms combined with being a masochistic revenant with a spike driven through his head (that he deliberately put there) tends to give this impression. Xrd doesn't help either, as it can be seen that he nearly lacks a torso. | |

Character Roster Global Warming | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_d1fdf7cb | comment |
Character Roster Global Warming: XX has around two dozen characters and exactly one big guy (Potemkin), later joined by a re-balanced Justice. The Xrd series has a slightly higher character count with only three fighters past the "Slightly Heavy" weight class: The aforementioned Potemkin, joined by newcomers Bedman and Kum Haehyun. STRIVE only had two large characters on launch (Potemkin and newcomer Nargoriyuki), but has a much smaller cast in comparison to the previous examples. The addition of large DLC character Goldlewis Dickinson evened out the ratio slightly. | |

Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_d238fd9d | comment |
Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: The Gears who exhibit shapeshifting powers generally avert it. Some, like Justice and Testament, simply morph their limbs accordingly (and Justice's armor may in fact be an armored shell for her true appearance), but Dizzy—who can change costumes in a flash—keeps her clothes intact when switching out of her (silhouetted) true form and the most that happens to Sol Badguy when their Gear form is finally shown in full during Overture is the loss of their jacket. Hilariously enough, when going into his gear form during Dragon Install in Xrd, he gains the jacket that he wears in story mode but looses the rest of his clothing. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Accent Core onward introduces "GG Generations" mode which changes gameplay mechanics to more resemble the older games. "GG" mode changes the Instant Kills to function more like that game where they could be repeatedly used and automatically triggered if your opponent fails to press the onscreen button prompts in time. But what about Order-Sol? His Instant Kill is a long, complicated button combo and the IK part only triggers if you perform the combo successfully on an opponent with low health. So what happens if you put normal Order-Sol in "GG" mode? Performing an IK with him simply has him perform his EX form's "All Guns Blazing" Instant Kill. | |

Rapid Hair Growth: This is the case of Millia Rage's hair, being alive and prehensile as well. Some of her attacks make her hair grow by necessity. By the time of Xrd, Ky is experiencing this as well, requiring to cut his hair frequently. This is a sign of his part-Gear nature. | |

Depending on the Artist | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_d83f3588 | comment |
Depending on the Artist: Despite Ishiwatari doing all of the game's core character design, the portrait and arcade/story mode still art has varied a lot over the years depending on who works on the games, and the sprites often end up looking a bit different than the other art due to the style. Overture might be the most dramatic example, with the shift to awkward 3D and many of the characters suddenly looking like they stepped out of an Ayami Kojima Castlevania game. As of Xrd, ArcSys seems to be taking steps to keep the depictions somewhat more stylistically consistent across media. | |

Tangled Family Tree: for someone who thought he was a loner for life by STRIVE Sol has gotten himself a full family, with a few bizarre levels of association, where some members were outright trying to kill him once, and he has tried to kill them before too, before everyone setting down as a happy family, take a look at this madness: Daughter: Dizzy, his biological daughter with Aria whom she managed to nurture even after losing her humanity, Sol has tried to hunt Dizzy once and had a hard time treating her as a his daughter once the truth was revealed. Son-In-Law: Ky Kiske, his long time rival and once outright nemesis, Sol was floored when he realized Ky is now family by virtue of marrying his daughter. Grandson: Sin Kiske, Ky and Dizzy's son Sol took out in long travels around the world to teach him about the world outside the castle and once to protect him, despite Sol's firm hand he doesn't have issues with the boy. Daughter: Elphelt Valentine starts considering herself Sol's daughter once she is saved and welcomed into Ky's castle by virtue of she being a Valentine unit, born out of Justice's mold. Daughter: Ramlethal Valentine starts considering herself Sol's daughter once she is saved and welcomed into Ky's castle by virtue of she being a Valentine unit, born out of Justice's mold. Lover: Jack O' Valentine was born with the purpose of becoming a vessel for Aria reborn, that succeeded to an extent by the end of REVELATOR, in STRIVE she feels incomplete and lost for Aria to truly come back is not possible but Sol accepts Jack-O' for who she is, and so Jack-O' erases her self-doubts at the end. | |

Updated Re-release | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: The series is particularly notorious for this, almost rivaling the Street Fighter series for how many revisions one of its games has had though some other games have had one or two. There's been Guilty Gear X Plus, which was Japan-only and featured, amongst other things, the Shadow and Gold versions of everyone, Kliff and Justice as playable characters, a Mission Mode and Story Mode, further fleshing out GGX's rather complex story. Guilty Gear XX is particularly infamous for this, having 6 available versions. The first was #Reload, which doubled the amount of Missions from 50 to 100, as well as featuring a new, improved and rebalanced version of Robo-Ky with a completely different moveset, as well as some balance tweaks. The next was Slash, which was Japan-only. This version altered several characters' movesets, several of the stages were largely altered (compare the XX original version of Sol/Ky's stage to the Slash version, where the back wall and door of the stage are now largely wrecked) and most notably, added two new characters: A.B.A from Isuka (which did make it out of Japan) and a new version of Sol called "Order-Sol" (representing during his days as a Holy Knight prior to the first game), both as a playable character and a secret challenger following I-No. The fourth version was Accent Core, which managed an overseas release and also featured Order-Sol and A.B.A, marking the overseas debut of the former. This version changed the interface on a larger scale (with a new version of the "Destroyed" pop-up when an Instant Kill was connected), featured a new, less popular announcer and new gameplay options such as Force Breaks, slightly more powerful attacks characters could perform at the cost of some Tension meter, and Slashback, a form of parrying. Several new stages were also introduced and the ones existing already for A.B.A and Order-Sol were altered as well, not to mention the further balancing. The "Generations" modes were also introduced, allowing players to play characters with styles and gameplay similar to GG1 or GGX, though at the cost of other features. However, Kliff and Justice were removed from the roster, and there were no Story or Mission Modes to play through. Furthermore, some Game-Breaking Bugs necessitated the release of... Accent Core Plus, a console-only version which re-added Story Mode (now set after GGXX's original Story Mode), Mission Mode, Kliff and Justice, as well as fixing some bugs, adding extra Force Breaks, changing some moves and other such things. Now, there's Accent Core Plus R, which rebalances the characters yet again, including adding Kliff and Justice to the default roster (they had to be unlocked in Accent Core Plus) and making them viable for use in tournaments. This version also saw an arcade release. Xrd, meanwhile, began with -SIGN-, which was the base version of the new engine; this was followed by -REVELATOR-, which was halfway between an update and a full sequel, with a whole new story mode, a vastly improved tutorial mode (to the point of making it industry-leading) and a number of additional characters, especially counting the later DLC. The final version was REV 2, which was a more modest update that just made the DLC characters part of the standard package, addressed some balance concerns, and added a bit of additional side story to the story mode and arcade modes to foreshadow the coming of STRIVE. | |

Optional Boss | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_e0606d52 | comment |
The next was Slash, which was Japan-only. This version altered several characters' movesets, several of the stages were largely altered (compare the XX original version of Sol/Ky's stage to the Slash version, where the back wall and door of the stage are now largely wrecked) and most notably, added two new characters: A.B.A from Isuka (which did make it out of Japan) and a new version of Sol called "Order-Sol" (representing during his days as a Holy Knight prior to the first game), both as a playable character and a secret challenger following I-No. | |

Fantasy Kitchen Sink | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_e1ff8ff6 | comment |
Fantasy Kitchen Sink: The Guilty Gear universe is pretty much the real world, except that every mythical or supernatural creature from all cultures is true and considered normal. Some stages have skeletons of giants, dragons are being used as restaurants, gnomes catch fish, aliens peek from forests, vampires observe humans, ghosts appear and witches fly. Not only that, magic coexists with ki or chakra, though they are entirely different from one another. | |

Story to Gameplay Ratio: Surprisingly, the Xrd Story Mode is more or less a visual novel-like movie with no playable fights at all, while STRIVE's Story Mode is a more dynamic variation with an action movie feel. | |

Weapons-Grade Vocabulary: Kliff Undersn's taunt creates physical letters, which bounce across the screen and inflict some damage.

Surprisingly Gentle Song | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_ea454c4a | comment |
Surprisingly Gentle Song: Xrd's arcade staff roll theme, "Lily", is a soft melodic love song amidst a soundtrack of heavy metal thrashing. Same goes for "Missing" and "Walk in the Dusk", two of the six staff roll themes in XX. They are compositions relying almost entirely on the piano and strings, only serving to make those Bittersweet and Downer Endings in Story Mode all the more poignant. "Calm Passion", another one of the staff roll themes, is a half-example, beginning with twenty full seconds of piano playing, frequently employing the keyboard and organs alongside a relatively soft guitar melody, and busting out the strings section for a lengthy break in the action halfway through. A few other tracks include "Icarus" and "Birthday Train". | |

Sequel Number Snarl | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_eaa1c5b5 | comment |
Sequel Number Snarl: GG2: Overture avoided this by merit of relegating the X series to the status of sidestories to the original game without diminishing their impact on canon. Xrd, which could essentially be considered a sequel to both XX and Overture, oddly picks up the slack, however, as it more or less continues on from the titling conventions of X and XX (Guilty Gear X3 would've been an acceptable choice, but ASW certainly couldn't call the game "Guilty Gear XXX" now, could they?). | |

Japanese Spirit | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_eef00c27 | comment |
Japanese Spirit: A key factor behind the power and value of the Japanese people. Three guesses why the Gears marked them for extinction first. Subverted, when it turns out it's because their nation was turning into a giant Backyard portal that would destroy the world, so That Man decided to Shoot the Dog and use an override on Justice to annihilate it. They actually aren't particularly special as far as the overall plot is concerned. | |

Playing The Missing Link nowadays highlights that for as broken and abusable as the Instant Kills were in that game, the computer is especially guilty of deciding to just hit-confirm into an instant kill state and then finish the input to destroy you before you could ever reasonably react, whenever they damn well pleased with no way to see it coming or predict it. Good luck ever fighting the Optional Boss without using save states. | |

Ambidextrous Sprite | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_f5a22215 | comment |
Ambidextrous Sprite: Characters like Sol and Ky can easily switch to the other hand, but those with asymmetrical costumes (Testament, Venom) or missing limbs (Baiken) are a bit harder to justify. Xrd, a 3D game whose visual design is centered around replicating the feel of 2D, intentionally uses this trope, with a few exceptions such as Sol's and Ky's "Free" and "Hope" belts reading the same from both sides. | |

Science Is Bad | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_f68664dc | comment |
Science Is Bad: Japan is wiped off the face of the Earth by the command-type Gear Justice, leaving behind a large hole in the ocean ringed by waters constantly pouring down. Technology is branded as "Black Tech" and is banned for destroying nature everywhere except in Zepp. People used magic instead but eventually, also abused it. The existence of Vitae in the Lightning the Argent novel (if you factor out the potential for Body Horror if a Commander Gear stirs up the dormant Gear cells used) shows that all of the research put into the creation of Gears wasn't inherently bad. Trying to weaponize them, on the other hand? Not such a good idea. | |

EX Special Attack | |

The fourth version was Accent Core, which managed an overseas release and also featured Order-Sol and A.B.A, marking the overseas debut of the former. This version changed the interface on a larger scale (with a new version of the "Destroyed" pop-up when an Instant Kill was connected), featured a new, less popular announcer and new gameplay options such as Force Breaks, slightly more powerful attacks characters could perform at the cost of some Tension meter, and Slashback, a form of parrying. Several new stages were also introduced and the ones existing already for A.B.A and Order-Sol were altered as well, not to mention the further balancing. The "Generations" modes were also introduced, allowing players to play characters with styles and gameplay similar to GG1 or GGX, though at the cost of other features. However, Kliff and Justice were removed from the roster, and there were no Story or Mission Modes to play through. Furthermore, some Game-Breaking Bugs necessitated the release of... | |

Situational Damage Attack | |
| Guilty Gear (Video Game) / int_fef3305b | comment |
Situational Damage Attack: Robo-Ky has an "overheat" system which is indicated by a gauge; every attack will fill the gauge. He also has a normal move where he vents out all the heat and depletes the gauge; the closer to full the gauge is, the more damage the venting out deals. The Japan-only XX Slash gives Sol the "Clean Hit" system that's been elaborated more in the Accent Core titles, where some of Sol's non-projectile specials can deal more damage, have more pronounced bounce effects where applicable, and have increased untechable time if he can score a hit with a specific part of his hitbox for each move. Additionally, his Sidewinder (if a Clean Hit) and Tyrant Rave (the follow-up to his Fafnir Force Break) have their power dependent on the number of Clean Hits included in a single combo. Advanced Sol play in these games primarily revolves around his Clean Hit Sidewinder loops, which are character-specific and harder to execute compared to the infamous Dust Loop. | |
