i just bought my first guilty gear game
16 years ago today, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core was originally released at arcades at JP. It was developed and published by Arc System Works.
So you have done a summary of the canon character endings for XX and how those endings lead into accent core plus. I was wondering if you can do the same for the accent core plus endings and how they lead into the future games if you haven't already done so.
Kliff Undersn_____: His story in AC+R is a flashback to just prior to the final confrontation with Justice, but he would later encounter his son Testament a few years later in 2180 before his death.
Axl Low _____ : His time-slipping caused him to run in to Slayer and Panonika in New Delhi at one point, and this event eventually gave Axl a "hint" about his powers being somehow linked to his subconsciousness. But not long after he would end up being "trapped" in the year 2192 post-apocalyptic Babylon and would run in to Bedman only to be rescued by I-No.
Jam Kuradoberi _____ : While at first she went back in to the Bounty Hunting business alongside Bridget, she found it was much more lucrative to run her own Foodcart, though she did get to rebuild a smaller version of her restaurant, it got destroyed YET AGAIN (the cause was never explained). In frustration, she took a break for a while, only to run in to Jack-O' by sheer coincidence.
Zappa _____ : Zappa was unable to find a medical solution to his supernatural problems, but his run-in with Crow Kuruwaba gave him an opportunity to apply for working with the Government and begin his investigations in to supernatural activity. As a result, he created something he would later call the "Zappa Scale" and has been using it to "avoid" Information Flare events ever since.
Chipp Zanuff _____ : After settling things up with Slayer, he promised to finish the training that his Master Tsuyoshi had passed on to him, but at some point around 2183 he ran in to the girl Erica Bartholomew who coincidently was the "elected" President of the United States. She was being attacked by Assassins, but Chipp intervened. After that whole problem was resolved, Chipp decided to travel to South Africa, where he ran in to Answer who picked a fight with him.
Answer lost that fight, but as a result gained a friend in Chipp and the two would go on to build their own country: Eastern Chipp Kingdom.
Dizzy _____ : After having a serious conversation about her future with Testament, Dizzy decided to finally move in with Ky now that he had secured a job as Police Commissioner of the International Police... of course, not long after this, things happened, and Ky ended up becoming the High King of Illyria due to the Conclave's involvement. Dizzy, meanwhile, had to go in to hiding, despite her relationship with Ky (along with her son, Sin).
Anji Mito _____ : He was responsible for sealing I-No away as a favor to "That Man", but because of Baiken's feelings on the subject, he decided working with That Man wasn't such a good idea. Instead, he decided to head back to the Japanese Colony and oversee things there while keeping an eye on Baiken in the process, as her "bodyguard".
He wouldn't been seen for a while after this, but he was in contact with Baiken when she was involved with the later Colony incidents.
Slayer _____ : Taking Anji's advice, he decided NOT to retire just yet, but he did decide to take a break from being active. He settled in Illyria in secret, and had several men working under him act as his eyes and ears so he could observe the Conclave and Pope from a distance. Later, Bedman killed one of his subordinates, and it was also around that time he decided to look in to Zato's resurrection.
He was also responsible for passing on that information to Faust, despite their connection being tenuous, he felt Faust deserved closure.
A.B.A. _____ : She was last seen 'temporarily' working for the P.W.A.B., but has since gone missing. Where she and Flament Nagel went is still unknown. Most likely though, she is still trying to find a way to give him a humanoid body, despite his desire to remain a weapon. She is also looking for her creator, the real Paracelsus.
Johnny _____ : After things calmed down with Dizzy, May, and Testament, Johnny continued to further his underworld connections and expand the Jellyfish as an organization. He would later have to put his plans on hold for May's sake, since she began developing a periodic headache (symptoms of Ki Overflow syndrome).
Millia Rage _____ : After witnessing Eddie's "death" she was forced to run away from the P.W.A.B. Robo-Ky units, but she continued to pursue the ones who stole Zato's corpse (as a favor to Venom) and tracked down their whereabouts to nearby Harden Fortress (VastEdge events). Due to the situation, she was forced to arm herself with guns and deal with heavily armed bounty hunters, but she was able to relay her findings to Venom and confirm what the Conclave had done with Zato's body.
She would later have to play a ruse and meet up with Venom under false pretenses, but this was all overshadowed by Zato=ONE's revival from death.
Robo-Ky _____ : Funding and support for mass production ceased, and so the only Robo-Ky to remain ended up running away from his makers and settling in a small town within Illyria's borders. He ended up doing small jobs for self-maintenance, and while he wasn't well-respected, he was at least content with living among humans.
May _____ : She learned a bit more about her past connection with the Japanese people from Ky, but was still unconvinced. She was upset with Johnny for avoiding the issues around them (he was actually trying to resolve a lot more than she knew). But after the incident with Dizzy was cleared up, things finally settled down for a time... though May would later develop symtoms from an as-yet not known disease connected with her past.
Eddie/Zato=ONE _____ : His corpse was taken by the P.W.A.B. and used as part of the Conclave's experiments involving Revival magic developed from Dr. Faust's research. The end result was that Zato's body had been dead and in preservation for nearly 6 years, but once he was revived, his soul became a blank slate, save for the last memories he had of Millia.
Testament _____ : Despite his objections, Dizzy left the forest for good, and so Testament was left to his own devices. While he hated humans, he understood Dizzy's determination to change his point of view by setting out on her own. His encounter with the "then dying" Eddie reminded him of the distant past, and his connection to his father Kliff. Despite everything, he decided to stay in contact with Johnny as a precaution for future events, while keeping an eye on the P.W.A.B.'s movements from a distance.
Baiken _____ : Baiken decided to let Anji be her "protector", even if it didn't mean much to her exactly... but Anji's ominous warning that "That Man" was "too strong for her to deal with", left a bad taste in her mouth. For the time being, she would lay low among the colonies and out of sight from the police, investigating any possible place the Gearmaker might have been... though she wouldn't have much luck until a certain incident started in Miyabi, the largest Japanese colony.
After that incident, she would encounter the enigmatic Ninja, Answer.
Venom _____ : Having settled his affairs with Millia Rage, he decided to act like a proper Leader of the Assassins. So proper in fact, his subordinates gained a lot of respect for him, and his brutal methods continued on for nearly 6 years. After having picked a fight with the current P.W.A.B., he felt he needed more political influence... his next goal would be to take over the United States Government!
(Venom's activities would later be thwarted by Chipp and Gabriel in the Butterfly and Her Gale novel!)
After having lost his chance to control an entire nation, Venom was stuck with doing small-time work under the P.W.A.B. for a time... that is, until Millia supplied him with some unsettling news: Zato was alive!
Bridget _____ : While he did work under Jam's restaurant for a time... his uncle came by to tell him some unsettling news... his twin Brother had left the family home and had gone missing. Bridget set out to go after his brother, but has been missing ever since.
Faust _____ : Faust wasn't able to get as much information out of the P.W.A.B. as he had hoped, and so he ended up going back in to hiding for a time... though, a certain "incident" in May of 2184 had him run in to a then-pregnant Dizzy who was now IN LABOR! It was short notice, but Faust was able to help deliver the baby safely! (Faust wouldn't know it, but that child would later be known as Sin Kiske!)
Faust also went on to save the life of Erica Bartholomew when she was attacked by assassins and wounded by one of them.
Sometime later, he was contacted by Johnny concerning May's sickness, and also given some new information regarding the whereabouts of Zato=ONE, said to be a key witness to events in his past!
Potemkin _____ : After the P.W.A.B.'s underground activities were silenced, Potemkin returned back home to Zepp. Sometime later, the Assassins tried to incite a war between America and Zepp, and it was Potemkin's job (as per usual) to protect the President at all costs... though he did end up getting in to a fight with Chipp Zanuff under a misunderstanding.
Rather, Chipp had gotten stronger than their last encounter, and so Gabriel decided to challenge Chipp directly, only to defeat the ninja on his own... Potemkin was not surprised at all by these results, but was still concerned for his nation's wellfare.
After Erica resolved the incident and the Assassins were dealt with, Chipp left to resume his training.
And while Zepp was still monitoring things around the world, it would be a while yet before they got directly involved with another incident.
As time passed however, Potemkin recieved unsettling reports of two strange entities: Ramlethal Valentine, and a mysterious being known as Bedman.
I-No _____ : Her story was put to an end as "That Man" utilized Anji Mito's talents to seal up I-No for the time being... and while I-No was upset concerning this, she had no time to ponder it. That is, until she was unsealed once more by "That Man" sometime later, and given a NEW mission.
This mission would be to secretly Assassinate the Valentine known as Ramlethal, and also investigate any potential changes in the timeline.
She would not be very successful for a while (even having to fight Sol once again)... that is, until a certain Axl Low fell in to her "net".
Justice _____ : While her final memories took place in AC+R (just prior to her death in 2180), half of her memories were transferred in to a new body... this body was given a new name: Jack-O'Valentine.
Jack-O' was forced to lay low and keep hidden for nearly 8 years after the death of Justice... and it would be some time yet before Jack-O' would accept her 'past self'.
Ky Kiske _____ : Ky settled up his rivalry with Sol, but later decided having Dizzy under his protection was the best for both their goals. And while he wasn’t given much leeway, his reputation would later put him under the eye of the Conclave.
Sol Badguy _____ : After things calmed down with Dizzy, and I-No was no longer an issue (due to Anji’s meddling), Sol settled up with Ky, drawing an end to a chapter in their rivalry (fall of 2181).
After this, Sol continued his work as a bounty hunter for a while... though, around the end of the year 2184 (just four years since they last spoke), Dizzy contacted Sol with some vague information regarding Ky being depressed and in a bind.
Not sure what was going on, Sol travelled back to Europe where Ky and Dizzy were staying, only to discover that Dizzy now had a son!
But more shocking than that, was Ky’s disheveled state.... he was much slimmer than he’d ever been, and a shell of his former self.
Sol couldn’t bear to see Ky depressed such as he was... and the only solution he could think of, was to knock some sense back in to Ky with his fists!
After some fighting, and knocking Ky down repeatedly, Ky revealed his problems to Sol... he asked Sol to adopt the boy Sin, and keep him under his care!
Sol wasn’t exactly prepared for this... but knowing what kind of person Ky was, and the burdens he was under, finally made sense...
It was then, that Sol decided to take Sin in as an ersatz, “son”, and raise him better than Ky ever could as a father.
Or, at least that was the plan... Sin grew up much faster than Sol expected, and his personality was very different from Ky’s as well... not to mention the “Gear” powers growing inside him...
Still, they would continue as Bounty Hunters for the time being... until they were attacked by Valentine’s Servants: The Vizuel, only to be rescued by a certain Fox named Izuna!

Dizzy to Johnny, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R (Arc System Works)
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core - 2006 Arc System Works My alltime favourite competitive fighting game. We ran many Ranking Battle seasons years ago for it and I met alot of lifelong friends through travelling the country for Guilty Gear tournaments. Zappa is my fave fighting game character ever. So unique and nothing like any fighter in any other game. He is basically 5 characters in 1. When they released the +R revision and rebalance I didn't play it because I loved the normal Accent Core so much. Bit for GGXXAC+R they are now beta testing GGPO rollback this weekend and it is working a treat! I've already played some great sets against old friends and family. I've posted a little clip of some of my Zappa dog summon mid screen pressure. I still need to learn all the +R changes though and tighten it all up. #guiltygear #ggxxacr #ggxxac #guiltygearxx #zappa #arcsystemworks #ggpo #solbadguy #arcade #retrogamer #instagamer #arcadegame #fightstick #fightinggame #streetfighter #playstation #dreamcast #sega #nintendo #ps2 #gamestagram #retrogaming #gameroom #retrogamingcommunity #oldschoolgaming #gamecollector #arcadegamer #anime #fightclubfriday #fightinggamefriday https://www.instagram.com/p/CG_RqY7HtTN/?utm_medium=tumblr
