There's a lot of ridiculous things about Guilty Gear's lore but the one that always takes me the out the most is that this man has a PhD https://images.plurk.com/7Cu2BpoBoVL62TBPHJez8n.png
Uncle Royd
Before everything went to shit he was a scientist studying "magic physics"

God
Uncle Royd
I forgot about that guy
Neo Quinn
sometimes weird guys get phds

Uncle Royd
....only sort of, I guess
Uncle Royd
Jack-o was an artificial life form intended to receive the soul of the third research partner but the soul realized that she was developing a personality of her own that would have been smothered out if it had moved in, so it chose to grant her her own life instead
連続犬
Her status with Dr. Badguy is unofficially listed as "It's Complicated"
連続犬
because it's so fucking complicated
Uncle Royd
It's so fucking complicated
Uncle Royd
The short version is "They're friends"
Uncle Royd
Let's not leave out Asuka "That Man" Kreutz
Uncle Royd
Who became the enemy of humanity for like 200 years in his quest to bring Aria back to life
Uncle Royd
I love Guilty Gear lore
Uncle Royd
It's so stupid

I like the combo of mega mystic priest and big chunky sneakers
Uncle Royd
The character design chops of the GG art team is seriously god tier
Neo Quinn
the use of color is world class
Neo Quinn
most characters have a major color in their upper body and then a small splash of the same color in their lower body to balance it
Neo Quinn
Sol's jacket and shoes
Neo Quinn
Jack-o's hair and heels
Doctor Ansem
"Dr. Badguy" keeps sending me

Uncle Royd
Dr. Badguy has a Super Mode that's called Dragon Install and it looks like this https://images.plurk.com/4qX1tUnA3Tb0NsWfiKxXxm.jpg
rose time
satisfying to behold
Uncle Royd
Like fuck off that's so FUCKING cool
Uncle Royd
DRAGON INSTALL
Neo Quinn
the underside of I-No's coat and hat, then the white buckles on her platform shoes
Neo Quinn
just really strong appealing color work constantly
rose time
I also notice that I-No has the guitar and her glasses the same shade
Uncle Royd
She does
Uncle Royd
(She's also my vote for the single hottest GG character but that's neither here nor there)
Neo Quinn
agreed
rose time
I also like that they have a lot of repeated patterns in the deisgns
rose time
like Baiken has a lot of broad stripes
Tonberry King
I adore this lore, continually
rose time
Bridget has a lot of puffs
Uncle Royd
Bonus fact: https://images.plurk.com/27AFQYdmG9d4pfmS8jyRjW.png Nagoriyuki looks like this under his mask and I may be just a smidge bisexual
rose time
I-No has all these different circles
Uncle Royd
Also: you can't see it in the picture I linked but Dr. Badguy has a headband on that says "ROCK YOU" on it
Uncle Royd
but because of his hair what you usually see is
Uncle Royd
"-CK YOU"
Tonberry King
https://images.plurk.com/174kTkzImHCX7cfr8rSzFq.png don't forget Ky's old belt buckle
Happy Hogswatch
There's also Badguy isn't his name, he renamed himself after a Freddie Mercury song because he's such a fucking fanboy
Uncle Royd
His actual name is FRED
Uncle Royd
FREDRICK
rose time
Fred Badguy
rose time
can you imagine
Happy Hogswatch
lot of fans headcanon his original surname is McQueen or May which I wouldn't put past Ishiwatari
Happy Hogswatch
(given Ky's name is combining two members of Halloween)
Uncle Royd
Frederick Bulsara, originally
GYAA HA HA
I feel like I'm always just, like, one good LP or something from becoming unhinged about Sol Badguy
GYAA HA HA
He seems like my exact type of guy but fighting games are not my exact type of game
Happy Hogswatch
Xrd and on have essentially a cinema mode
Uncle Royd
GYAA HA HA : same honestly
Uncle Royd
I tried really hard to get into Guilty Gear the actual game but no luck
Uncle Royd
Guilty Gear -Strive- Full Story (English Dub)
but you can watch the whole story of Strive on youtube
Uncle Royd
and Woolie Vs did a series of videos that go over all the lore leading up to Strive
GUILTY GEAR LORE: Heaven Or Hell: Duel 1 [Timeline B...
Uncle Royd
So, fortunately, playing the game is not necessary if you just want to get really sicko about the characters
#1 inferno fan
yeah, sol badguy's birth name is freddie bulsara
#1 inferno fan
because it's a combination of freddie mercury's stagename and his real name, farookh bulsara
#1 inferno fan
so he was kind of narratively set up for the worshipping at the feet of the good mr mercury by the whole world, there
#1 inferno fan
at least iirc the backstory correctly anyway XD
La Comtesse
I want them to put a Greg Graffin expy in Guilty Gear now. (He has a doctorate in Zoology and has lectured at UCLA and Cornell.) And of course, Dr. Brian May. And Dr. Michael Bishop (ph.d. in musicology and ethnomusicology, along with being Blothar the Berserker, lead singer and bassist for GWAR.)
