Retronauts Episode 779: Guilty Gear

No plea bargaining here, Let’s Rock!

I (Diamond Feit) love fighting games in principle but on an individual title-by-title basis, there’s always an internal debate regarding “how cool does this game look” vs “how well do I understand its basics.” Nothing throws those two metrics off harder than the Guilty Gear franchise with its packed roster of wackos and its deep well of variables.

Thankfully, host Kevin Bunch and expert-level guests Patrick Miller & Irene Koh carry this episode about Guilty Gear‘s origins and evolution from PS1 exclusive to EVO mainstay. When I go silent for many minutes at a time, just pretend I’m reading old move lists on GameFAQs.

Description: Heaven or Hell! Kevin Bunch, Diamond Feit, Patrick Miller and Irene Koh talk Guilty Gear, a series known for rock references, anime aesthetics and aggressive action.
