  • Hey! This video was a labor of love that took over half a year to make, so I hope you enjoyed it. It was a lot of work but this game deserves it. This video doesn't cover everything about the game, so if you wanna learn more check out the dustloop at www.dustloop.com/w/GGML. There's also a discord at / discord .

    Honestly, a pretty crazy aspect of this game that wasn't really mentioned is the air movement. Usually, using airdash removes double jump and vice versa, but here you can use both without touching the ground! Is that not crazy?

    Missing Link is what really introduced me to fighting games that weren't street fighter and ignited the love for fighting games I still feel today. Dr. Baldhead (and Faust) will always hold a special place in my heart for the eternal impression of guilty gear they gave me when I first selected them on the portraitless training mode selection screen.

      Same for me.
      I always liked fgs, but ML cemented them as my fav genre.
      It also made GG my fav series of all time, and is also the reason why i am a metalhead.
      Too bad Strive sucks, and basically turned me away from fgs, to the point I no longer run tournaments in my country, lol.

    Missing Link will be forever my fav FG of all time, I started playing it on 1999, and played it all days with my brother.
    Is actually what cemented fgs as my fav type of games, and GG being my fav series, with the exception of Strive.

    As a player of Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S: Jougai Rantou?! Shuyaku Soudatsusen (released 1994 for the Nintendo Super Famicom), I must say Missing Link, which does many of the same things (except more and louder), really puts that game's balance and jank into perspective. If Sailor Moon S crimes are children shoplifting candy, Missing Link crimes are carpet-bombing civilians. (And yes, I'm aware of Sailor Moon S as effectively a proto-Arcsys game.)
    It's definitely interesting on an academic level but IDK if I would want to try and take it even a little seriously. I don't trust myself to get past layer 1 of the meta, a.k.a. "can you consistently break IKs on reaction so you don't lose the entire match off one read/guess?".

      @tabkg5802 sorry for snapping. But a zoner is a long ranged Fighter who can control space and can also rushdown, meanwhile keepaway is specifically meant to keep their opponents at bay by frustrating them with projectiles but struggle to rushdown and are more meant to use hit n run strategy or turtling (Edit: depends on the character's archetype)

    Hey more ML content, you'll love to see it. That being said, Ky's K buttons are extremely good. They're fast, combos into themselves and stun dipper and are fairly quite safe on block (correct me otherwise). Anyway, great video, loving this content about GG.

      @darksydephilup4333 Рік тому +1

      The range on 5k and 2k for how much they can be chained is okay but the move that holds him together outside of obviously the ik is his close s for infinite combos,it's his best cc move on hit and is a very lax infinite, also stun dipper has combo trouble and is outclassed by just doing close s as a Gatling, his only special that isn't held back by game mechanics is stun edge which is plenty good enough
