[barbieb0y]

i blanked out for a bit and just realized i havent said what i wanted to say to u abt guilty gear. lol. anyway, i actually (technically) have one consistent main in gg, who is baiken, but in strive i kinda have 2, which is baiken and bridget!! i play bridget bc she's a fun character to play, has a cute design, boppin theme and bc she's trans but mostly bc she's rlly fun! i remember just having such a blast playing her... i haven't played bridget in forever bc i like playing her strive ver more compared to her older version (she's rlly complex in the first game she was in orz)

ive been maining baiken ever since i started playing around, like, february 2021?? so she's pretty special to me! she's rlly pretty samurai lady that drinks (i have a lot of fighting game crushes LMAO) and also a rlly cool character that grows as the story goes on! (also super fun to play!)

i also play slayer and leo whitefang for a bit but it's been a bit since i played them so i think they dont count anymore lol oh and i casually play giovanna bc she's similar to this one character i play in another fighting game (also cause she looks like this one fighting game lady i have a cru)

i have this one color i rlly LOVE playing in guilty gear/arcsys games in general which i call arcsys/playstation blue! it's the one color where the characters are wearing blue and black but the blue is glowing! rlly love that color <3 i have huge debt to guilty gear bc it introduced me to d4dj thanks to their collab, and you can see how that went lol

thats all, hehe! i love talking abt fighting games bc i dont have much of a chance lol so im sosososo glad to have someone to talk to!! <3

(also fun fact abt baiken: she uses ore when speaking in japanese)

(also also this was meant to be sent to the replies of your post but there was so much i wanted to say, lol byee take my rant abt my fighting game mains)

OOOOOOO IVE SEEN BAIKEN ALSO BRIDGET AAAAAA sorry im biased i see trans character my eyes become hearts. all the characters sound really cool tbh. baiken using ore is cool as fuck wtf. good for her good for her

i also have minor crushes on all the guys. especially anji as you may know. im Simping with a capital S. he is so hot im so sorry im a simple man

I SAW THE COLOR YOU MENTIONED IN THE BETA TEST i was wondering what that was :0 i think theres also a pink version and a green version right? i think i saw those. for now im just sticking with the original colors bc thats what im used to but i wanna try the other colors too at some point :D

woah i did not know gg introduced you to d4dj ngl. i remember when the gg collab dropped i was like. oh okay another random collab idc abt LMAOOOOOO now im eating my own words. i do remember getting the sol badguy discs in d4dj tho lmao

and yw! tbfh the only fighting game ive consistently played is tekken (alisa main since i was 6 <3) so. im not the best person to actually discuss fighting games with LOL but as ive said, you are very much free to infodump whenever you want. i mean it. even if i dont get to play certain fighting games, at least i get to know some stuff about them. honestly even with tekken i. dont really pay attention to the lore HELP but thats normal for fighting game fans i think. also fighting game men are so Hot and Gender and oh my god muscles ... muscles

Even though it was like, more than half a year since I played GGST, I am still super excited about a possible sequel.

Like, imagine. After the new direction gameplay-wise and the story basically being the end of Sol's arc, the next game is probably going to be sort of a new generation, jumping-on-point-for-new-fans type of deal. Which is so much my fucking jam that I want to write a whole post of just predictions/wishes for the different characters.

-Sin gets rid of his eating gimmick and becomes a combination of his two dads, taking on the role of new protagonist and combining their gameplay. So he has a projectile that goes across the ground like Gun Flame, but can also be charged like Stun Edge. Also? Purple color scheme, as well as his own message on his belt buckle. I'm thinking Future, in reference to him being the new protagonist as well as "Goals and Future" from his theme in Strive.

-I am not sure what to do with Ram, but I feel like if they made her projectiles more powerful and versatile, taking back their properties from Xrd, would kind of help with her becoming a member of the Illyria Military. I'll go into what I want for story later, but I would love for her and Sin to kind of be a friendlier, more sibling-like take on Sol and Ky's whole Shonen rival thing. Her belt buckle bears the word "Meaning".

-Neither Sol, Ky or Asuka would appear as playable fighters, at least not as base roster. Ky is focusing on politics, and perhaps raising a new child, Sol is working on his rocket with Jack-O and Asuka is doing a podcast on the moon. Him narrating the events of the story is the framing device for story mode.

-Happy Chaos would reappear, taking on a new name and identity, probably as a weird magic hobo. He would take on a new role in the story as a weird anti-hero ally.

-Nago travels the word, having lost an eye to a mysterious new opponent. He searches tirelessly for it.

-Giovanna has risen up the ranks and is, somewhat unwillingly, taking on the role of a secret agent. Her role in the military is continuously prioritized below getting a date with Leo.

-Faust is becoming more and more monstrous. His Dr. Baldhead-identity is returning, and he searches for a cure to his condition before it's too late.

-Having acceptet her new identity, Bridget gets a re-design with some cowgirl-elements, in honor of Goldlewis influence. She reconnects with her brother, who has spent years searching for her. She has also become close friends with Dizzy, and has gotten work as her bodyguard.

As is essentially obligatory for this kind of sequel, several characters have gained protegés and the like:

-Chipp's story involves him training a citizen of the Eastern Chipp Kingdom to be a ninja. This citizen appears in his victory animation, participates in his supers and would perhaps be added with DLC.

-Leo gets a second-in-command, and through training him, comes to term with his trauma.

-Zato-ONE and Millia discovers a third host to a Forbidden Beast, and becomes the hosts weird adoptive parents, Slayer acting as the child's really weird grandpa; Robo-Ky and Venom as it's cool new uncles.

-Delilah reappears, wielding broken parts of her bed. She fights with a sword and uses the bed's arm to parry her enemies, like Baiken, and she also keeps her traps. These traps are a mix of her brother's and some inspired from Baiken, such as swords spinning in the air and Tatami mats appearing from the ground.

-Through the years, Johnny and May's relationship becomes more and more strained. In the end, Johnny disappears, and May becomes the new captain of the Jellyfish Pirates. On her journey to find Johnny and make amends, she ends up falling in love with someone new. In her Arcade ending, Johnny holds a tearful speech on her wedding.

-Having risen up the military ranks, Potemkin works tirelessly to improve Zepp's political standing. On his journey, he meets and saves an abused child worker from an weapon manufacturer, and helps her overcome her trauma.

That's about it for the characters. I think that if there was a Story Mode, it would be mostly character-focused, but would be focused on Sin and Ram pursuing a mysterious group of terrorists. Consisting of a small group of Gears that survived the hunting of Gears after Justice's defeat, as well as other outsiders, that blindly wanders the world commiting acts of violence.

I've been meaning to overcome my current art block, so for every like this posts get I'll draw a possible redesign/new character from this concept.
