Shotgun & Head Explanation

To people who don't comprehend the SHOTGUN & HEAD lyrics:

It's a reference to the Senato / Conclave who were conspiring to capture Sol during GG VastEdge events.

"Up to our knees in their conspiracy", Sol basically had a bounty put on his head during those events and he had to "Kickstart his brain" to think of a way out of it!

Most of the song is just talking about how they wouldn't have BEEN in that situation if Sol knew about it beforehand... so they decided to take the fight back to the Conclave and clear Sol's name and reputation.

"Why say it now?" is more of an 'I told you they were trouble' or 'I told you so' from Sin.

And the whole "Someday the world will be full of smiles" is just wishful thinking that once they get out of this conspiracy, things will get better.

Hope that explains it!

Bonus trivia: Leo Whitefang makes a comment about Sol as System Voice Announcer in GGXrd "Why is he both a Bounty and a Bounty Hunter at the same time?"

[sorry if I sent duplicate message] Something I am curious with vastedge is that takeshi tweeted he was writing for vastedge with daisuke supervising it. How much do you think he actually worked on for the writing of vastedge?

Because it could just be like with xx where the company acts like daisuke wrote it when in actuality he didn’t think he could write the story he wanted for xx so he left another writer use the characters and plot for xx.

Because he didn’t think he could write what he wanted for XX I can’t imagine pachinko game would be much better.

It would make more sense for Yamanaka to have written VastEdge with Ishiwatari's ideas as reference material, but you also have to understand that they have to make money to produce games in the first place.

Pachislot is very profitable, even if it doesn't have an in-depth story in terms of content.

Even if it's considered Gaiden or Side-story, regardless, Ishiwatari approved it. No matter if the quality took a dive or that the security of the game data itself was not considered much (i.e. it was leaked to the public before they could make a decent announcement).

I'd argue that VastEdge might not have been the best idea for a Guilty Gear title, but at the time they were trying to make something that people who don't play Guilty Gear would also be interested in.

Speaking of games that appeal to people who aren't interested in Guilty Gear: that's exactly what Guilty Gear Strive is.

Even in the case of Guilty Gear XX, even if Ishiwatari wasn't as deeply involved, he's part of the process regardless, so they still had to consult with him on some things... just not everything and not as responsibly as they should have to make the story better constructed.

But history is a good teacher, and they are learning that lesson.

With Zappa appearing in Revelator in his Vastedge costume (although recolored), could you share any details you've managed to scrounge up that may be relevant to missing cast members like Zappa, Dizzy etc that appeared in that Pachinko game (other than the Flashing Fang stuff and Baldias maybe dying)? Felt like a lot of the fandom may miss out on things since few GG fans got the chance to play that canon game.

To basically sum up what happened:

The Conclave put a bounty on Sol’s Head because he was meddling in their affairs.

Sol turned the tables and “stole back” the Senga from Harden Fortress.

During that time, Sol and Sin had to deal with several Bounty Hunters and Enemy Gears chasing them (Jam, Bridget, and a few nameless others).

He also ran in to Millia (who was looking for Zato’s body), and coincidently met May, Johnny, Slayer, and Zappa as well (these people also picked a random fight).

Ky helped clear Sol’s name after he defeated Baldias (Bardius in VastEdge sources), and during that time Izuna and Dr. Paradigm also helped out (a little).

Fighting “That Man” was a secret bonus battle in the game, but that isn’t a canonical part of the story.

The Epilogue reveals Dizzy is now free of the seal that was placed on her by the Thunderseal (despite Paradigm saying he would help Ky free her).

**Keep in mind a lot of information in VastEdge does not jive with GG2 or GGXrd info, so it’s Gaiden, not “full canon”**

[gear-project]

Are there any videos of the Baldias fight from Vastedge? Is it anything special?

The clips do exist in-game, though you’ll have to ask someone like Mister-Badguy (Zysets) for them, since I myself don’t have a physical or digital copy.

Best of luck!

Is Millia ever shown employing those magic handguns that she has in Vastedge during cutscenes or battles?

So far, nothing beyond VastEdge itself (which is a rather quirky title to begin with).

In the Prototype, Millia was known to wield knives, and hides a dagger in her hair in Silent Force.
