Just wanna put this out here real quick ever since +R got rollback I think this has become my favorite Guilty Gear period and I have no idea why nobody ever talks about this game as one of the genre's best. Actually one of the coolest games ever made, this and like UMVC3 and MBAACC are one of the few fighting games where I discover something new about it every time I play it. Still has the dopest Sol Badguy to date and I think other characters here are at their most fun, even if I think Xrd utilizes their tools better in their combo game. I will forever be depressed that force breaks never returned after this entry, which I feel like it should be a series staple given how quickly you've always been able to build meter in these games.

I feel like when Xrd's rollback drops it'll be the more requested game to play among my peers since it's a lot more approachable and its balance is way more sensible (minus Johnny and Elphelt) but I have yet to play another FG where every match feel so free-flowing and chaotic like this, where you are given so many ways to execute your characters unique gameplan, and I think how completely open ended it is works the best for Gear where everyone is trying to play a one-player game on the opponent anyways. If you're gonna design your game to be unhinged, you may as well embrace its insanity and bullshit with open arms.
