It’s just me by the way. I’m locked in the office. Not on purpose but y'know it’s rough. This isn’t recent either, I’ve been in here a WHILE while. I think the rest of the Arc Sys Staff have all moved to another office space. I’ve been developing a new fighting game of my own. It’s called “Beasty Fists” and it’s gonna be a breakout hit to contest with Tekken 8 and Guilty Gear 3. There’s a guy in there and when he punches it makes flames, and a girl who can transform into a larger girl. And there’s a guy who's based on British fusion-jazz legend Jamiroquai, he wears a hat and has a goatee and does large kick moves. It’s gonna be awesome. I'm the guy in charge of leaking the roster for every street fighter game.

Plz talk about leo whitefang guilty gear
He doesn’t talk about it much these days but Leo Whitefang used to be in an amateur barbershop quartet. Of course, he was the baritone. None of the other members of the quartet are important to the world of Guilty Gear but they're all living pretty comfortable lives and they meet together once a year on principle.
Leo Whitefang isn’t the only Guilty Gear character with a musical history.
After the outlawing of electronics, there was a shift in musical culture - it took a while for magical instruments (see I-No's guitar) or the public magic radio to be created, so for a period after the dawn of the 21st century, there was a rise in the popularity of both acoustic music and “music that can be performed anywhere”. Acapella and barbershop groups started forming to perform in public places in place of radios and radio stations (which had yet to be replaced at this point). This also led to the rise in popularity of vocal-heavy genres (think Gospel or Doo-Wop).
It didn’t take long for the radio to be replaced however, along with magical versions of electronic instruments, so by the time Guilty Gear takes place, musical genres have shifted back to what you would expect (with just a little more Rock than before). But acapella and barbershop groups occasionally go through a cultural revival, especially for festivals and celebrations - so you wouldn’t be hard pressed to find a couple more Guilty Gear characters who at least dabbled in it.
Ky Kiske was in a choir group for a short period (although he's not a very good singer by his own admission). Johnny briefly tried out an indie music career, trying to do “An Elvis thing”, which didn’t last very long. And to this day Kum Haehyun can be found putting on impromptu performances in music shops when she finds an instrument she likes.
But back to Leo. While most of his former barbershop buddies don't really matter, he did meet his best friend through them. Singing lead in their group was a wannabe superstar with a passion for mixology. Though they’re not important to the story of Guilty Gear, they are still to this day Leo Whitefang's best friend - and help him work on definitions for his dictionary. This man is known as Gem. Short for “Guilty Gear Eminem”, which is his full name.

Marcus “M-Spec” McKenzie is a British fighting game player who made news recently with his decisive victory at the Kentucky Round-Robin Melee tournament. With only two years experience under his belt he managed to take down both Armada and Leffen in a devastating upset. Wielding a custom made 250 Kilogram GameCube controller, he destroyed every opposing controller is a game of “GameCube Conkers”, a classic British game from his hometown of Kilsbury. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conkers]
He said, after the tournament:
“Ah it’s just a bit of fun, innit? If we were playing with my hometown rules we'd be smashing the GameCubes together, not the controllers. But there are people here who's lives depend on this game, and I didn’t wanna take it away from them. It’s sad that I didn’t come in first, HungryBox's genius play of interpreting his hands as controllers meant I had no chance against him. But hey, I came pretty far! Not bad for a boy from old Kil, eh?”
HungryBox's hand injuries were bad, but not enough to prevent him from holding that trophy high above his head, and using it to execute the losers, as is his right.
This article has been a tribute to Marcus McKenzie [1964-2023]
May he rest in piece and be remembered as one of the greatest Conkerers of all time.

He looks like this (I drew him with a sword but he doesn’t need to use it his kicks are strong enough and also his magic beam (seen above)). His name is James Kidding but his friends call him JK, not that he has any. He's a real bad bitch (he's like Terumi but cool) and his favourite things in the world are doing a sweeping crane kick, popping his collar, and making me enough merch money to hire a locksmith to get me out of here.
It’s just me by the way. I’m locked in the office. Not on purpose but y'know it’s rough. This isn’t recent either, I’ve been in here a WHILE while. I think the rest of the Arc Sys Staff have all moved to another office space. I’ve been developing a new fighting game of my own. It’s called “Beasty Fists” and it’s gonna be a breakout hit to contest with Tekken 8 and Guilty Gear 3. There’s a guy in there and when he punches it makes flames, and a girl who can transform into a larger girl. And there’s a guy who's based on British fusion-jazz legend Jamiroquai, he wears a hat and has a goatee and does large kick moves. It’s gonna be awesome. I'm the guy in charge of leaking the roster for every street fighter game.

Do you know how much it sucks we never published the Touhou fighting games. IT SUCKS. I could be making jokes about Tewi, Nitori and Toyosatomimi no Miko, but instead I’m stuck here with
Fuck, I don’t know, Asuka??
At least we're not capcom, who are gonna have to spend the next three months hyping up their new DLC character “White Eminem” for street fighter 6.
I wish I lived in Gensokyo
