Review
The one series that could have toppled the Capcom and Midway juggernauts of the late 90s, had it been more aggressive in its marketing.

Guilty Gear takes the most beautiful things of 2D fighting games, speed and combos, and takes them to such an insane degree that you can not help but just watch the carnage unfold. Multi-hot combos, aerial combos, and chain combos that allow you to bounce the enemy off the wall and right back into your fist. 

No fighting fan should be without it.

Trivia
  • The game features an "instant kill" system where you can literally kill the other opponent in one shot, at any time in the match. Squaresoft has a similar concept in Bushido Blade.
     
  • Many characters mimic the look of famous US heavy metal singers, including Axel Rose and Billy Idol.
     
  • The "Gear" in the title refer to the characters; they are non-human characters with specific powers.
