Guilty Gear: The Missing Link, known simply as Guilty Gear outside of Japan, is the first installment in Arc System Works' Guilty Gear series. It was released for the PlayStation on May 14, 1998 in Japan, October 31, 1998 in North America (published by Atlus), and May 2000 in Europe.The first Guilty Gear was produced by the series creator Daisuke Ishiwatari, who had drafted the plans of the game since his days in vocational school, in a desire to create a fighting game with truly "cool" characters. While joining and working in Arc System Works, a contract developer that worked for publishers with few original games, he came up to its president Minoru Kidooka one day and asked if he could make the game. Ishiwatari got his approval, so his development team spent a year and a half creating Guilty Gear in which he provided illustrations, soundtrack, and voice works for one of the playable characters, Sol Badguy. On release, the game won critical acclaim despite its rough edges, changing the fate of him and the company forever.Guilty Gear begins in the (no longer) future of 2010, when mankind discovers an unlimited energy source they name "magic", providing solution to the world energy crisis. Despite this, the world continues to be engulfed in conflicts, and experiments harness this power and combine it with living creatures, developing a Living Weapon called "Gears". This turns out to be a bad move when the Gears turn against their masters, sparking a century-long war ("the Crusades") that ravages most of the surface on Earth. After much bloodshed, when the Gears' leader Justice is captured and locked away, all the other Gears are deactivated and the world is seemingly at peace at last. Fast forward to 2180, five years after the end of the Crusades, the dimensional prison that seals Justice starts to deteriorate. An international event known as the Second Holy Order Selection Tournament is quickly organized to pick out the strongest warrior, promising a handsome reward if one can stop Justice before she wipes out what's left of the human race.The game would later be ported to multiple platforms over the years, starting with a port for NTT DoCoMo i-mode phones on January 10, 2006. A re-release for PlayStation Network would be released in Japan and Europe on May 31, 2007 and August 6, 2009, respectively. Finally, it was released on Steam, Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch on May 16, 2019.A sequel came out called Guilty Gear X.

Not Just a Tournament: The midboss of Normal Mode, Testament, reveals themselves to be the host of the tournament all along, and that it's part of their machinations to resurrect Justice, planning to use the winner as a last Human Sacrifice.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Guilty Gear: The Missing Link (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: The game's combo system allows you to repeatedly juggle or knock the opponent down until they're dead. These "OTG infinites" are relatively easy to input, often consisting of one move repeated over and over. Unfortunately, they take ages to actually kill, and are almost completely invalidated by Teching. The only characters that are susceptible to OTG infinites at a high level are Kliff, who has an unusually short tech window, and Testament, who's a... special case.

Lag Cancel
 Guilty Gear: The Missing Link (Video Game) / int_41d74667
comment
Lag Cancel: All normals can be canceled into jumps, although only a few can actually get anything out of it Charging a special move can be canceled into like any other special move. If you immediately drop the charge afterwards, it cancels out most of the endlag of the move that was canceled into it.

Updated Re Release: The 2019 re-release for Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Windows adds more options in the setting menu, like controller/keyboard re-mapping and command list. The game itself is the same, just with added borders on the side due to resolution difference on modern platforms.

Jump Physics: Every character can jump, super-jump, and Double Jump, and Chipp can triple jump. Curiously, when a character jumps, they're considered airborne for the entire duration, including the pre-jump frames.

Charged Attack: Every character except Axl, Testament, and Justice have at least one special move that can be charged by inputting the move with the Respect button. The charge goes from Level 1 to Level 3, and the move's properties change as the Level increases.

comment
Mechanically Unusual Fighter: Kliff Undersn lacks the ability to dash, as well as a traditional backstep. Instead of the latter, he has a spot-dodge, as well as an attack that can be performed during it. He's also the only character who can use their Launcher Move in the air. Potemkin, being a Mighty Glacier, lacks the ability to dash forwards or airdash. He's also the only character to have both a forward throw and a backward throw, although the former is bound to the Kick button instead of the Heavy Slash button.

Finishing Move: Each character has a unique Instant Kill attack, performed by inputting quarter-circle forward and an attack button while in the Sakkai state, which can be activated by hitting the opponent with an Instant Kill Starter Attack, or successfully performing an Instant Block. If successful, you automatically win the entire match.

Hitbox Dissonance
 Guilty Gear: The Missing Link (Video Game) / int_a5e998f0
comment
Hitbox Dissonance: Ky's jumping Slash has an extra set of hurtboxes roughly two character lengths behind him. Taking advantage of this is somewhat difficult, but it's still odd. There are a number of attacks that come out faster than they appear to at first glance, but hit when they do anyway because the hitboxes are somewhere in Narnia. By far the most egregious example of this is Justice's Michael Sword — it's active on frame 1, but the hitboxes are so deep inside Justice's body that they can't hit anything. A hitbox that's actually capable of hitting the opponent doesn't appear until frame 10, and even then, it doesn't actually hit in front of Justice until frame 20! Some of Axl's normals have random intervals during their animations where both hitboxes and hurtboxes are missing.
