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."
nintendo power review of the ggx gba port. they said there was a guy with a bag in his head and i said 'wow thats so random'
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
I remember super clearly that I was watching "death battle" one week and they were showing a character from this anime looking game and I remember thinking "oh that looks so cool, how did they draw it like that?!" and upon learning that was actually 3D became obsessed with knowing how they did it
