despite the fact that the lyrics probably look Cringe on paper, there's more genuine Emotion and effort in gg songs like divide my heart and crawl than like half of the stuff people irony poisoned on twitter afraid of looking cringe listen to if we're being fully honest. like idk if you're so allergic to saying something beautiful and true that you're resorting to "haha the singer pronounces things funny lmao engrish" you kinda really suck for that ngl

im surprised i didnt give myself an aneurism tryinf to draw all his nicknacks and doodads

i got the worlds dumbest confession to make. i played guilty gear xrd (sign specifically) first of all the gg games at some point in like idk 2017 probably. definitely before rev2 came out. and at this time i had zero frame of reference for what the fuck a conclave was so i just thought it was a cool Guilty Gear Term and not literally the real life Pope Election. this had to have lasted at least like 5 years before i heard the actual term conclave used in context and realized it was a real event and not some cool sounding shit daisuke ishiwatari made up

gotta say. holding strive up next to xrd. the graphics and designs are kinda the only upgrade (like venom not being weirdly orange)

little touches like the old character intro/outros, instant kills, and easter eggs like knocking ky down 6 times to make his hair come out of the ponytail and holy orders starts playing or emotional gamma ray dizzy original outfit moment. ride the fire playing when you use dragon install even. it all brought a fun Vibe and spirit that strive is kinda sorely lacking. we barely even get vs themes here! the ui is kinda ass. movesets have been severely neutered and even though personally i sucked at gg due to how outdated and clunky the system felt to me compared to the stuff i played more frequently id take it over strive. at least rounds dont end just cause you get one solid hit in faster than your opponent and it takes one combo to end it from round start if it works out right. danger time was kinda a fun mechanic to me even though i know most people didnt agree. it was SOMETHING. it was flavor. strive is kinda mid systemwise. it does great things for characters but as a fighting game and especially as a guilty gear entry a lot of the charm came out in the wash and its a little sad when you compare it with the amount of Personality xrd had. not to say strive had none, its just suuuuper different tonally to how gg feels like its Been up to this point in terms of stylization. the main menu music isnt even fun like bruh wtf

ky naming his son he had with a) a gear who b) he wasn't married to "sin" is still fucking crazyinsane to me. sir can you keep your double catholic + holy order guilt combo to yourself

i just now realized that like.. did mori look at slayer and go "i want a cool vampire character too im gonna do everything the opposite of this and its gonna be cool"

like. slayer being an old guy. rachel looking like a kid. he's literally just pleasant to be around and she verbally berates everyone all the time. he likes being nosy on purpose, and granted so does she, but she faces consequences of being too nosy like Not Existing Anymore. slayer at least has the intent to assist while if rachel does she sucks at doing it. he's super powerful and so was she but she keeps getting less so bc she wont mind her business. theyre both from the uk but slayer is inexplicably scottish. they both live in castles but villa vampir is cooler

tbh. hats off to molly daisy scarpine for sounding so much like naoki when she does metal vocals that i straight up didn't notice until like my 50th relisten to extras and only because i saw the wiki mention naoki didn't do the vocals
