I love how daisuke just made up a character nobody had seen before and said "yep, this is the mascot of guilty gear" used them in one portable game and then never again
Legendary May player Kedako used to regularly play +R on the vita just to stay in shape even well throughout Xrd's lifespan. Paid off for when he won +R at CEOtaku in 2018.
I want to add that recently I found out that you can call assists/switch characters on the fly in GG Advance...so the game is even cooler now. Sorry for not including that, I had no idea!
Also I noticed in the video you say there is no Robo Ky, but there kinda is. GGX Advance Edition actually added EX versions of the characters like XX had, and Robo Ky is Ky's EX version. I'm not sure if it's a nod to the arcade version or if it's to save space, but he has Ky's sprites with the Robo Ky moves.
@@Nifterific Robo-Ky is GG mode Ky in GGX and GG Petit 2, and Extra mode Ky in GGX Advance. Ex mode wasn't a thing until GGX2, although GG mode was kinda similar (though it didn't change the characters' movesets much, aside from Ky). It was only until GGX2 where they gave Robo-Ky a separate slot on the character select screen (and a new colour palette, since he was an alternate version of Ky in the older games) but he still used Ky's sprites and voice clips. It was only until GGX2 Reload where Robo-Ky gets his own sprites and voice clips.
Handheld versions of fighting games are like the cutest shit ever. Like, how they fit all that action in a tiny little rom? But then they do and seeing the sacrifices they have to make are the cutest things ever.
@@LegitThatDudeThe rest of the portable-exclusive characters too. Also, that Variable Battle mode, the closest thing to a tag-team mode in classic Street Fighter. 🙌
Watching this video just taught me two things as a Guilty Gear fan. 1: I now know that the wonder swan exists and want one 2. And I want Guilty Gear Petit
I remember playing gg xx accent core plus on my psp back in the day. I had no idea how fighting games worked, but the amazing visual style kept me returning to the game for years.
Guilty Gear Advance is so unreasonably awesome lmao. The 2v2 mode is something I wish they could bring back, and the inclusion of GG1 and EX mode for the whole cast is so cool. There's even a legit colour editor, which is so sick. I wish someone could mod netplay into the game, I want to play it with friends so much.
The gba port was actually my first introduction to fighting games and I loved to play it all the time, the aesthetic and characters were truly eye catching even on the smaller screen, I had quite a lot of fun with it and let me explore more games in the future!
I always felt bad for Daisuke with Guilty Gear 2: Overture. dude CLEARLY had some ambition and wasn't intending for Guilty Gear to just be fight game franchise, but the hard pivot into MOBA didn't do him any favors and Overture is the sort of rough around the edges that clearly needed a few more pass-overs to hit the main-stream popularity Daisuke so believed in.
Too bad the AI in both games isn't very good. At least the AI TRIES in Petit, but even on the hardest difficulty, the AI is next to brainless in Advance.
I was on the GG fan wiki and saw Dust Strikers, Isuka, and Judgement all in a row and I thought to myself "I should find out what those are". Thanks to you man for this surprisingly comperhensive showcase! Much appreciated.
Oh my god I've been looking for Guilt Gear Dust Strikers for so long. I recently got into the series, but always thought I dreamed of having a Guilty Gear platforming game on my R4 as a kid. Guess I wasn't delusional afterall
The X2 Reload that came with the Western version of Guilty Gear Judgement isn't the full game as it was missing some things, namely the Story Mode. There's actually a standalone release of X2 on the PSP, with everything included, but it's Japan only. I assume that the reason as to why Slash wasn't carried over was because there was more shit to translate. Was probably faster just to have X2 there instead. Also, I'm pretty sure that Robo Ky's in Petit 2 and Advance, as GG Ky, just like in the original game. Robo Ky only became a separate character in X2, and then got overhauled in X2 Reload. One of the things I love about Petit 2 and Advance Edition is that you could play as GG1 versions of the characters. For Petit, only a few characters got that treatment (probably to make up for Venom, Dizzy and Baiken not being playable), but for Advance, everyone had it, and they even made new sprites to match moves that were only in the first game. Even characters that weren't in the original GG had GG1 mode. Venom's GG1 mode has a weird super where gray clones of himself flies in from the top corner of the screen and act like missiles.
Believe it or not, Pro Jumper Guilty Gear Tangent was the game that introduced me to the series. I never played it, but I saw it in an issue of Nintendo Power many years ago. I was really confused when my second impression of the series was Bridget.
Another cool thing about gg advance is that there is a option to change the way the characters work, like for example Potemkin could have a air dash, run, and extra moves
There is another unlockable character in Petit. It is called GG Milia and it takes the last slot. I only remember this because I couldn't get her time trial down for retroachievments
GG Advance is basically how I learned fighting games. Doing even hadoukens never clicked with me until I played an Isuka cabinet, and then bought GG Advance....Yep. Those two.
I actually played the Guiltyu gear DS game, this was my introduction to the series, but I would play XX occasionally is other friend's house and would not play it again until Strive 0:58 Chibi Axl looks so adorable!
I played GuiltyGear on the PS2 era...and when i saw that the mext game was Overdrive...i fell out of the game...so Xrd came and went without my knowledge, feels bad today that i missed that title completely, but i havin a Blast with Strive.
The Tag Mode in GGX Advance isn't just the characters tagging in when one is defeated. If I recall correctly you can press Select to switch characters mid-combo opening up some DUMB options. I remember bringing my GGX Advance to school to play during breaks. I quickly discovered the AI in that game is really bad but otherwise it was adorable. Also do have Petite and EGAD do I want Fanny back. She's one of my favorites. Basically the Faust equivalent to Sakura. If I recall, her full story is that when she was a little girl, Dr.Baldhead saved her life (remember: Dr.Baldhead used to be a kind and skilled Doctor before he flipped out) and so she wanted to grow up to be a nurse. Now she is one and is trying to find Dr.Baldhead unaware that he is now wearing a bag on his head. It's heavily implied she might be bald and her hair is a wig which I think is kinda cool (because she probably lost her hair to the disease). Mostly though I just like weird girl characters so yeah I want Fanny back.
Yeah I recently found out about assist calls in GG Advance....very sad I didn't know about them beforehand! I wish I could just add a section to an already uploaded video...lol
Still glad my first Guilty Gear experience was with GG X: Advance Edition via an emulator. After landing my first ever combo with Sol, I knew I'd fall in love with the series.
Wish Strive would just add good single player instead of just gutting the mechanics so everyone can get a shot. However, that is risky, so I get why we are where we are. Great video!
One thing I find absolutely hilarious about Guilty Gear X Advance is how bonkers Dragon Install is in that game. Since the game is a Guilty Gear X demake, all of Sol's attacks cancel into each other instanteanously when in DI, and since for whatever reason Advance has an increased meter build, you end up just shitting meter like it's nobody's business. And then heavy Volcanic Viper lags the game so much that the music actually slows down.
My first guilty gear was X advance. I can concur that for a mobile fighting game, it was surprisingly good. but I really cut my teeth on X2 Reload for Xbox. I loved it so much though that I picked up Judgement for my PSP. it was one of the few games for the PSP that I didn't borrow and rip to my memory stick. it was one of the first games I picked up for my PSP actually. 10/10 would recommend.
I've played both GGX and GGDS and Nintendo portables definitely got the short end of the stick. I now own a physical GG collection for the Switch, so I'll have to see whether ARS had redeemed themselves.
To me it always felt like portable fighting games were overall rather meh as far as reputation, but it feels so good to understand that they were actually doing pretty well, and Guilty Gear definitely shows it. The PSP really felt like a revolution and experiencing Guilty Gear, and perhaps even moreso Blazblue with it's sheer amount of content all in your pocket was truely fantastic, one of my favourite handheld experiences. To be fair, I moderately liked the PSP as far as hardware: was really fragile overall and I had two of them on which the mini-joystick thingy eventually started performing ghost actions whereas I never used it, also wasn't too much of a fan of the D-pad, especially on the initial fat model. Still, man did this console push the handheld fighting game experience to the next level.
Guilty Gear Judgement was one of my fave portable games and redeemed the portable games for me after I absolutely hated Guilty Gear X Advance. Judgement also got installed to my Vita and PSTV in addition to the PSP. Disappointed that the Judgement mode wasn't in any home console versions. Would love it in 2, 3 or 4 player couch/online play.
I'm a simple man and a got a PSP with just arcade games to play on the during some downtime and GG XX Accent Core +, I'm not a pro or a FGC aficionado but I do appreciate some good arcade gameplay.
I know this is old but I just wanted to say I actually did get into GG through the gba game. It whet my appetite just enough to get my own copy of X2 and the rest was history haha.
Dust Striker was the first (and for a long time, the only) Guilty Gear game i played.

It's a very Daisuke thing to do.
and now chimaki is in the 3v3 mode in strive

Dust Striker seriously looks like a flash game.
It started off as a java phone game actually
@@skunthundler I actually had no idea about this :o
Dude I spent so much time practicing combos in GGxxAC+ in the psp. Definitely how I got into the series

AC+ on PSP is how I got into the series and even now I’m used to that game to the point that later games still feels a little off to me.

It's neat how Petit and Advance did what they could with their limitations to make for an experience that's still engaging!

Guilty Gear Advance is my first Guilty Gear game! I loved how they recreated the tracks using Midi, I loved how it sounds!
It's interesting that they never implemented that team mode outside of +R, I always found it really fun.
My first GG was the PSP port of XX Accent Core Plus. To this day, I still prefer it over modern GG games.
Great video! I randomly read about Fanny on a tweet so this video was perfect to get some context. Keep it up!
Of all the things here to peak my interest, for some reason it was the enemy designs in Judgement
I grew up with GGX GBA and went to my cousins to play X2.
Never returned to GG until Strive but I’m glad to be back !!
FANNY TO STRIVE
FANNY TO STRIVE
FANNY TO STRIVE
Daisuke, please!!!
Ues
i think ill be dead and buried when someone mentions the way i got into the XX series.
+R on vita.
I got into the series with +R on switch 💀
I feel you bro

I used to play GG Accent Core on the PSP back in the day. As far as I know it was nothing more than a port, but it exists!
Emulating AC+ on my phone was literally my first GG experience
The Guilty Gear Dual Strikers is like a newgrounds game with Guilty Gear Sprites
4:11
I only heard of guilty gear thanks to this game alone.
It's funny because I was introduced to the guilty gear series but the game boy advance version of guilty gear x.
Finally someone giving some respect to Bleach Blade of Fate, that game fucking slaps man.
3:58
Mainline Guilty Gear does have this.
Also, I know Chimaki! Had a sticker of him on the back of my previous phone, haha.
Guilty gear strive just got announced for the switch looks pretty good
There is another unlockable character in Petit. It is called GG Milia and it takes the last slot. I only remember this because I couldn't get her time trial down for retroachievments
4:03 a finger on the monkey's paw curls
I made sure to get Petit 1 and 2 when I got my WonderSwan eons ago!
Also Fanny gets an entry in Strive's lore compendium!
GG Advance is basically how I learned fighting games.
Doing even hadoukens never clicked with me until I played an Isuka cabinet, and then bought GG Advance....Yep. Those two.

There's no tension quite like recess money matches on the PSP where winning or losing still means you might get into a real fist fight.
I thought the mascot was that one dolphin anchor lady.

Fanny, Judgement and Ragna should be DLC characters in Strive.
got into guilty gear this year from getting AC+R on the vita and then steam lol so portable GG matters
Overture isn't forgettable. It's too weird to forget.
Still glad my first Guilty Gear experience was with GG X: Advance Edition via an emulator. After landing my first ever combo with Sol, I knew I'd fall in love with the series.
I never knew this franchise had so many games! I'll try that beat'em up, seems really interesting! Great job, dude! :D
Found your channel recently, I've been enjoying it!
3:03 oh, didn't remember Ky had that move, thought it's an ex character's thing
Not a GG game, but my introduction to anime fighters came from BlazBlue Continiuum Shift II on the 3DS
Dust Strikers was my first GG game ever. my DS was broken unfortunately so i couldnt move through platforms...... still had a blast as a kid
So, I decided to buy Pro Jumper Guilty Gear Tangent after watching this.
I beat the game, and boy is it a trip.
Petit looks so good. Advance was daring. Not perfect but showcases just what a beast the GBA was.
I've speedran GGX Advance and the game feels jank but it works so incredibly well. It is strange.
Wish Strive would just add good single player instead of just gutting the mechanics so everyone can get a shot. However, that is risky, so I get why we are where we are.
Great video!

i think about this video whenever i play plus R portable on switch. just funny to think weve come a long way
I think Dust strikers and Isuka defined the series
By showing it should just be a 2d fighter
Isuka is awesome actually
Congrats on being featured in the latest Panda Fighting Games video!
Very unexpected... But I'll take it!
Accent core plus also had a PSP port
+R, at least on steam, has team mode my buddy
My first Guilty Gear game was Accent Core on the PSP.
Now I want Judgement in strive. That would be cool.
Guilty Gear 2 Overture is mainline canon
We could’ve just gotten a regular gg game on the ds but nah we had to get dust strikers💀
I’ve been praying for a side scrolling game like that. Plz remake it, take something from other games, and let me indulge.
Johnny was on a Wonderswan GG game??? huh today i learned
Everyone knows Chimaki, it's May's backpack in Strive.
My gateway to guilty gear was
Guilty gear XX Accent core+ on the psp
you cant talk about ggxa without mentioning the pallette editor!!! literally wish they put this back it was so cool making all characters look nude

Man, I wish we got a port of Guilty Gear XX on the DS (Or heck, even a Petit 3 with new exclusive characters)
Dust Strikers also had a few exclusive characters. Surprised they weren’t mentioned.
Who?
I would love them to take another shot at dust strikers but this time don’t make it for a portable system
Guilty Gear Judgement was one of my fave portable games and redeemed the portable games for me after I absolutely hated Guilty Gear X Advance.

It wasn’t so bad… though the only thing I did was fight the characters before facing the boss, who was hard at the time until I managed to beat it 😅
Really wasn’t my favorite, I only played it if I was just bored
Got it, petit for chibi pocket fun, judgement for value and quality. GBA is kinda interesting too but the rest .....
I love overture 2 is an amazing game
Fanny being in only the ds game tough
The game is so nice tho
In my opinion,the best ds fighting game is ultimate mortal kombat. Though im still unsure why Midway dropped the "3",since its basically a port of umk3
If only we get a Guilty Gear Judgement rerelease
