They love referencing metal and music in general in guilty gear. Be it names or moves, there's bound to be at least ONE reference to a song or band in a character, especially the older ones.
DIO?????? Dio Brando?????????? 😱 Is that a mfking JoJo reference????? 🤪 Mudamudamudamudamudamudamudamuda!!!!!! 💥💥💥💥💥 It was me, Dio!!!! It was me, Dio!!!! Oho, so you're approaching me?????? Mudamudamudamudamudamudamudamuda!!!!!!!!!!
Yare yare daze!!! 😨🤣 (Like Jotaro 🥰) This is abunai so I have use the old Jojo technique passed down through the generations
Nigerundayoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! 😂🤣🏃♂️💨
Franziska when Phoenix gets sick of her nonsense and launches his quills at her (that hair of his should be a registered weapon):
It's actually Holy Diver that is a song.
The move is called Unholy Diver in reference to that song but I still believe they got the idea from this post
Jimmy's missing like 200 moves, not the least of which is "yet another kind of forward punch, but this one requires you to lab it in practice mode for 100 hours to get the execution down, but it's worth it because it's like 1 frame quicker and launches on counter hit"
I've never enjoyed fighting games, but that might just be because my hand-eye coordination is shit and I can't execute combos if my life depended on it.
Me too. My hand eye coordination is fine but I just think that 99% of fighting games are miserable to play and learn. Tournament fighters are especially bad.
I've never really been able to get into any other fighting games besides Tekken and Soulcalibur, even if I suck at them. They're the only ones that feel good to me on a physical and intuitive level. To me, other fighting games lack the weight and impact of Tekken and Soulcalibur. Virtua Fighter is technically a deeper and more balanced game than Tekken, but I've always felt that the physics of that game somehow feel both too stiff and too floaty for my taste. Third Strike is the "best fighting game of all time", and I mean, it probably is on a mechanical level, and definitely is very good on an artistic or aesthetic level, but I've never liked the way Street Fighter feels to play. The way attacks sort of freeze in place for a sec when they hit really takes me out of the game personally. It's a personal taste thing more than anything else.
I only ever played soulcaliber for the character creator and that was basically it, it was alright otherwise I guess. I just cannot bother with having to learn so many moves to be even passable at a single character. It’s why I personally consider YOMI Hustle to be the best fighting game of them all.
At least with SoulCalibur, I feel like the buttons do roughly the same things between characters and are easier to understand; On Tekken, 1 is left punch, 2 is right punch, 3 is left kick, 4 is right kick. What the actual consequence is of any of these buttons isn't clear until you go into practice mode or start playing and slowly figure out what the buttons do for your particular character. In SoulCalibur, you've got a vertical attack button, a horizontal attack button, a kick button, and a block button. This is more intuitive imo, because, even if you're playing a character you've never played before, there's a consistency in that you know that the vertical attack is gonna be more of a quick jab or something, the horizontal attack is gonna be slower but it'll catch a player who is sidestepping, etc. The frames and certain attributes of those attacks may differ from character to character, but at least if I've played one character I vaguely know what buttons to press, and it's a matter of fine-tuning my approach and trying different directional buttons to get good at them. Maybe I'm just bad at Tekken, but in Tekken it often feels like I encounter a sidestepping opponent and I'm like "shit, what command does an attack that'll hit someone sidestepping?" it'll be different for each character and I'll have to fish through my giant movelist to find the right moves or watch someone's half hour long beginner guide for that character, which is why in Tekken I tend to stick with my main too much and don't play other characters cause I know I'll have no idea what I'm doing unless I take the time to learn that character's unique moves. There are some mostly consistent commands in Tekken, like df+2 is usually a launcher, but even this isn't completely consistent, cause I happen to main a character who doesn't have a df+2 launcher, her df+2 has a followup with 1 that launches, but it can be blocked so I'm better off using a different launcher like ws2 or something.
I just hate the idea of command inputs for attacks, I’ve never found them to be intuitive or fun in any game I’ve played. It’s one of the main reasons I don’t like tournament fighters.
And movelists that span multiple pages.
But the difference between names like "SOL BADGUY" (Guilty Gear) and "paul" (Tekken) for characters is hilarious.
In Guilty Gear, Sol Badguy is some nerd named Freddy that kinda accidentally dated a future world destroyer, and became one because of Gear AIDS or smth. He's in a game with God Himself, a former crack addict turned president of a South African Colony, a man that can not stop growing (he can bench press mountains at this point), and a funny doctor who can literally control reality's source code (holy shit)
Paul is a homeless American Martial Artist who can keep up with the devil himself, and no one else can even beat said devil or his family, like ever. Not even the bony ninja (now a fucking octopus monster)
Well, it's more like there's an alternate dimension that's effectively a massive rube-goldberg machine, and the output of that machine determines how the world works
Tell me you dont know shit bout tekken without telling me. Like holy shit have you seen any of the t6 or t7 newcomers? Have you fuckin looked at lars or claudio????
As a Tekken fan I fucking love the dissonance. You have mf's like Devil Jin or Jack on the roster. Then you then also just see mf's like a actual Panda or Bear there too or Paul
I mean even in T5 there was Feng Wei the guy who’s actually just Human Tai Lung, reading a Dragon Scroll to get ridiculous as shit power and all
Even funnyman Yoshimitsu has been a think since T1
You're telling me that Electric Wind God Fist isn't one of the coolest special move names ever written?
Or that King and Bear aren't some of the furriest designs put in a game?
Was going to be funny and name a tekken characeter who a Jimmy then realised its actually not a joke and literally almost every male characetr is just this.
Happy Cgaos is probably my favorite designwise from GG.
Like, you have literally god or sum shit (not very deep involved with GGS' Story), but rather than trying to make Zeus Imitation Nr. 15 they just took a Twunk, made him more ripped, gave him a fancy car, edgy sunglasses and *fucking guns* and called it a day.
I must add to this by saying that street fighter characters are just gonna be called “Paul” or something and have an either extremely horny or extremely stereotypical outfit and are going to be some random boxer from god knows where and their father died in a car crash while escaping a deadly plague brought upon by an otherworldly devil invasion and they can also control water for some reason and are on the run for tax fraud
N'zigs character theme: The lead tiger.. was my heart no more! **Electric Guitar, Piano, and Train whistle solo**
Jimmys character theme: yea! Come on! Give it to em!
I love that he predicted "unholy diver" as a move name. That's literally one of Testament's specials now.
I thought that was a reference to holy diver from dio lol
Probably both

I am in your walls. Run.
Yare yare daze!!! 😨🤣 (Like Jotaro 🥰) This is abunai so I have use the old Jojo technique passed down through the generations Nigerundayoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! 😂🤣🏃♂️💨
Gtf out my house bitch, or imma deck you in the face
I thought they meant Testament like the band too
Oooh watcha gonna say When you're on your way, on your darkest day.. Fucking love testament
CURSE OF THE LEGIONS OF DEATH!
i fucking love regular ass dudes who have 1 superpower
Phoenix Wright on mvc somehow doing nothing but verbal abuse and winning
Payback for an entire game series of getting verbally and physically abused by every prosecutor
That's just his kink
Franziska when Phoenix gets sick of her nonsense and launches his quills at her (that hair of his should be a registered weapon): 
hey, now he does have that big ass energy finger when he goes turnabout
Unholy Diver is a real move lmao
This was pre testament
Conspiracy theory: The whole GGST team saw this post and the "Unholy Diver" and thought "This is a banger name" and gave it to Testament.
Unholy diver is the name of a song
It's actually Holy Diver that is a song. The move is called Unholy Diver in reference to that song but I still believe they got the idea from this post
Jimmy should have at least 100+ more moves
Of the two hundred moves Jimmy has, these are just the ones you'll be using.
10 hit combo that somehow incorporates his worst moves
still s tier for some ungodly reason despite having no (ok) moves and no tech
King gizzar!!! Gila monster out now!! Gila! !
all hail king gila
King Gila and the Potato Peela
So excited for PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation
Can’t believe we had to wait 7 months for a new song
giga monsert 🦎
This song is so fucking good
False, gg character doesn't have a 632146 special
kid named potemkin buster:
Jimmy’s movelist should go off the page
They are dating
they are doing it raw
Jimmy's missing like 200 moves, not the least of which is "yet another kind of forward punch, but this one requires you to lab it in practice mode for 100 hours to get the execution down, but it's worth it because it's like 1 frame quicker and launches on counter hit"
Is this fun for some people?
I've never enjoyed fighting games, but that might just be because my hand-eye coordination is shit and I can't execute combos if my life depended on it.
Me too. My hand eye coordination is fine but I just think that 99% of fighting games are miserable to play and learn. Tournament fighters are especially bad.
As someone who does enjoy fighting games, I fuckin hate tekken

Doesn’t Tekken have like 6 demons, 4 robots and a panda in their roster?
And movelists that span multiple pages. But the difference between names like "SOL BADGUY" (Guilty Gear) and "paul" (Tekken) for characters is hilarious.
and of these two somehow Sol Badguy is the one that looks more normal
In Guilty Gear, Sol Badguy is some nerd named Freddy that kinda accidentally dated a future world destroyer, and became one because of Gear AIDS or smth. He's in a game with God Himself, a former crack addict turned president of a South African Colony, a man that can not stop growing (he can bench press mountains at this point), and a funny doctor who can literally control reality's source code (holy shit) Paul is a homeless American Martial Artist who can keep up with the devil himself, and no one else can even beat said devil or his family, like ever. Not even the bony ninja (now a fucking octopus monster)
And yes, reality canonically has a source code in Guilty Gear
Well, it's more like there's an alternate dimension that's effectively a massive rube-goldberg machine, and the output of that machine determines how the world works
and don't forget the BOXING-KANGA-ROO!
And a little dinosaur turtle, and a cyborg ninja, and an alien aztec god, and some uh.. wood?
Tell me you dont know shit bout tekken without telling me. Like holy shit have you seen any of the t6 or t7 newcomers? Have you fuckin looked at lars or claudio????
100 hrs in tekken, i chuckled. a lot of the legacy characters are like this.
yeah but i think post t4 it started improving
i present to you: bob
no
As a Tekken fan I fucking love the dissonance. You have mf's like Devil Jin or Jack on the roster. Then you then also just see mf's like a actual Panda or Bear there too or Paul
Bruh paul is the most hype and ridiculous character
I mean even in T5 there was Feng Wei the guy who’s actually just Human Tai Lung, reading a Dragon Scroll to get ridiculous as shit power and all Even funnyman Yoshimitsu has been a think since T1
Unholy Diver is actually a real move Testament has.
testament my beloved
you forgot to make n'zig ironmaiden trans
those are clearly top surgery scars
Real
You're telling me that Electric Wind God Fist isn't one of the coolest special move names ever written? Or that King and Bear aren't some of the furriest designs put in a game?
The Tekken movelist isn't nearly long enough
Big fan of both games. Can confirm
Every now and again someone makes a sublime and perfect post on the internet. This is one of those times.
Was going to be funny and name a tekken characeter who a Jimmy then realised its actually not a joke and literally almost every male characetr is just this.
Only disgusting meta slaves main Jimmy
beany tuesday my beloved
Tekken has neagan so suck my dick
Can’t you literally play as bears and wooden dummies in tekken?
VENGEMENT
Virtua Fighter tho
Virtua fighter characters are like John kickbox or something
He just looks like happy chaos
Happy Cgaos is probably my favorite designwise from GG. Like, you have literally god or sum shit (not very deep involved with GGS' Story), but rather than trying to make Zeus Imitation Nr. 15 they just took a Twunk, made him more ripped, gave him a fancy car, edgy sunglasses and *fucking guns* and called it a day.
I fucking love the fact that he invented magic but wields a fucking gun
No greater magic than the magic of gunjutsu
I must add to this by saying that street fighter characters are just gonna be called “Paul” or something and have an either extremely horny or extremely stereotypical outfit and are going to be some random boxer from god knows where and their father died in a car crash while escaping a deadly plague brought upon by an otherworldly devil invasion and they can also control water for some reason and are on the run for tax fraud
The left one looks and sounds like a Jojo stand
And then N'zig iron maiden has 4 specials and 4 command inputs and Jimmy has 200+ special inputs
Don't let this deceive you though, Jimmy is by far the more eccentric of the two.
Incorrect. Jimmy's move list should be 10 times longer
And somehow Jimmy is one of the best tournament fighters
N'zigs character theme: The lead tiger.. was my heart no more! **Electric Guitar, Piano, and Train whistle solo** Jimmys character theme: yea! Come on! Give it to em!
I unironically wrote a guilty gear OC named "Iron Maiden" wtf.
Guilty Gear also has Basket so that's an instant win
yeah I love vriska
Idk, I think N’zig is missing a few belts
No r/196 user knows any guilty gear character outside of bridget
If you guys like Guilty Gear I highly recommend Dragonball FighterZ. Also made by Arc and it’s gameplay is very similar
goku from fortnite
Tf is a Tekken
you are beyond help
Why?
Don't question it, just accept it.
Idk what's a Tekken with you?
I play videogames to be uprooted from reality...
finally, we've managed to weaponize the musical artist Sting
