Guilty Gear is a 2D fighting game released on the Playstation in 1998. It was created out of a love for manga (Japanese comics), video games, and heavy metal/rock, and was the first game that Daisuke Ishiwatari and Hideyuki Abe had ever created. It originally started out as a 3D project, but Daisuke realized it wasn't living up to his vision and changed to 2D. Despite the potential the game had, it didn't sell terribly well in the US, and more or less became a cult classic, however, in Japan it was met with a lot of enthusiasm. But then again Now Guilty Gear has become more famous then ever and I hope like all Guilty Gear fans that it will rise in the U.S. :D
Hears the story I got:
the 22nd century, mankind has managed to harness an unlimited source of
energy that would allow them to rid themselves of the limited natural
resources such as oil and electricity. This new source of energy was known
as "magic", and it soon became a very reknown material for its' powerful
energetic properties.
However, as with all known energy resources, the power of magic soon began
to take a different approach than just mere energetic purposes. The most
powerful countries in the world decided to create biological weapons that would use the power of magic as their main source of energy, and amass
enough destructive power to render any human army useless. These new weapons
were called "Gears", humanoid forms that were able to accomplish several war
tasks with devastating power and resistance.
The humans thought that they could control anything with the help of the Gears, whom they saw as mere weapons, tools for their own convenience. But
there was one Gear that did not think in the same way: a Gear called Justice. Justice claimed to have independent thought unlike the rest of the
Gears, and worse of all, she had the ability to control any kind of Gear and is the strongest known Gear. Her
hatred towards humans knew no boundaries. She was tired of being used and controlled by men, and thus, led the Gears into an all-out war against mankind.
At this time, the Sacred Holy Order Knights was created as a special forces group that would wage the upcoming "Crusade" against the Gears...the last hope of humankind. A gruesome battles between the Gears and humans broke out. The war lasted for 100 years, and much blood was spilled on both
sides. After a century of destruction and death, the victory was assigned to
the humans, and Justice was banished to another dimension, and closed there
for what seemed to be eternally.
But in the year 2180, rumors of Justice breaking free from her dimensional prison had came to the attention of the of Holy Order Knights. The Knights knew that another war was at hand, and they had to act quickly. They organized a Sacred Knights tournament...a competition that would gather the best fighters of the world, and find the strongest warriors to recruit them in the Sacred Order and do battle against the renegade Gear Justice.
Ironically, it was not a human but another Gear called Sol Badguy who defeated Justice in the end. Soon enough, all the Gears controlled by
Justice ceased to function after Justice's demise. The threat of Justice was
no more, and it seemed the world would once again know peace....
But less than one year later, another self-aware Gear appeared in the middle of a peaceful forest. Her name was Dizzy, half Gear, half human. Like Justice, she was also a commander Gear, meaning she could also control Gears
at her own will. However, unlike the wrathful Justice, Dizzy did not seem to
pose any sort of threat. She had decided to live a peaceful life in the
forest, far away from the hatred of humans. However, the mere idea of a
conscious Gear that could control other Gears frightened the leaders of the
world. They soon put a prize of 500,000 world dollars on the head of Dizzy,
and soon after that, many strong fighters set forth to find Dizzy.
It was once again Sol Badguy who managed to arrive to Dizzy's hiding place,
and defeated her. However, Sol did not eliminate Dizzy as he did with
Justice. He simply let her go. Not having claimed the bounty, it was Jam
Kuradoberi, a Chinese waitress who could wield the awesome Ki force, who
banked the check. As for Dizzy, she was taken in by Johnny, captain of the
infamous Jellyfish Pirates, as part of his crew of air pirates. Everything
seemed to be in its' place once again....
Time has passed. Now two forces are set in motion, each fighting for their own purposes. And it seems that the fighters of the past tournaments were now mere pawns in the eternal struggle for control of the world.
Well thats basically the story but each character has thier own goals so If I can update I think put it ;D well thats all right now.
