Seriously tho I have no idea where I learned about gg it feels like it just mysteriously started existing one day many many moons ago and retroactively existed from that point

I do remember how I learned about Guilty Gear because it was the "kill your friends guilt free" magazine ad for the very first game.

And I also remember thinking "Wow, this game looks like shit."

i began going to locals in 2008 because of SSB Brawl netplay, got into playing Street Fighter 4 from there, and on one random night I played some version of GGXX against longtime Faust player Kyoku. i was too new to fighting games to remember anything besides the pogo sticks that hit my face and the cool styles that everyone had

My cousins, who are also into weeb shit shall we say, were at our place constantly when we were moving as my aunt and uncle were helping out a lot. Literally one of my cousins just happened to bring Guilty Gear X2: The Midnight Carnival #Reload for Xbox over one day, and I fell in love instantly (with the game and Ky Kiske). I explicitly remember him promising to lend it to me if I beat him, beating him and then... still not getting to borrow the game. Scammed... I got my parents to get it for me for Christmas a few months later. This was about 19 years ago right around this time of year... 😱

that one x-play review of GGXX that called Dizzy "half-angel/half-devil/half-devil" and a friend of mine I had a crush on was playing it so I picked up an emulator to play GGX Advance Edition

Then later I got a copy of Accent Core and saw Jam on the back and well the rest is history

I played The Missing Link on a Playstation at the same time I was listening to my Dad's Black Sabbath records and it ruined my life.

There was (maybe still is) a website I used to frequent as a kid called tehparadox, which was a forum with just shitloads of DDL links to pirated software. I had found the PC port of GGXX Reload among a collection of doujin fighting games like Melty Blood ReACT and Hinokakera Chaotic Eclipse. It didn’t ruin my life until all the poverty fighting games were done with me but we got there eventually

A friend of mine sat me down to play GGXX at Sunnyvale Golfland after I was kinda salty about how i did in a cvs2 bracket. We got it at the Bearcade soon after, and his parents made him quit games to focus on his career so he sold me his modded ps2 and his copy of XX. I still have the PS2.


lydia
@lydia

a girl infodumped at me about fighting games and then made out with me, so i researched fighting games i could play. i learned about strive. then i asked about input methods here and @chastity convicned me to go to norcal locals and learn xrd instead of strive and also build a hitbox.

i am 2 for 3 on that, still haven't learned xrd but i get my ass kicked in it a lot.

@stroggo

My older brother and cousin were huge fighting game fans (particularly SNK titles), so I first learned about GG when I saw them play the original PSX port.

I didn't start playing the series until XX, after I found a cheap boxed copy of the PC version.

I was sort of dimly aware of the existence of Guilty Gear as a name, but was pretty hesitant about looking into it in any further capacity when every other attempt I'd made to get into fighting games had ended in failure (USF4, UMvC3, Skullgirls, DBFZ). I was pretty sure they were just Not For Me. I wanted to understand what people saw in them, but they weren't clicking.

Then my favourite streamer @tietuesday got into Strive, and suddenly it was like I couldn't get away from Guilty Gear. I was watching it. I had friends playing it. Testament came out and half my feed lost their minds (understandably). Strive looked fucking cool, and I was struggling really hard to not blow money on another fighting game that I would touch once or twice and then uninstall forever. Why would it be different this time?

Anyway, it was different that time. :eggbug-relieved:

GGXX was one of the few PS2 games at my local blockbuster and when I saw the old promo short that came on the disc I was instantly obsessed forever. The dubbing is amazing and I'm surprised we haven't made more memes out of Ky's oh no I'm falling line read here
