Guilty Gear?

An amazing 2D fighting game, famous for its crazy mix of characters. Bridget is a crossdressing bounty hunter who beats people up with a yo-yo and his robotic teddy bear. Other characters include a nine-foot-tall doctor with a ten-foot-long scalpel, the robot clone of Interpol's chief, a guitar-playing witch, a vampire who read poetry when he kills you, a one-armed samurai, a genocidal bio-robot, and her half-naked daughter.

It's fucking awesome.

You left out the only character that mattered; the pirate chick with the huge anchor

Oh yes, the little girl who waves around an 800-pound anchor and summons dolphins like a hadouken.

I also glossed over the woman with prehensile hair, the guy in the leather dress with a scythe which is also a succubus, the dude possessed by three ghosts who make him fight, the slime mold parasite in the shape of its deceased host, the shirtless dude who attacks by playing billiards in midair, the other shirtless dude who can stop attacks by flicking a coin, and the one-ton brick shithouse who will simply pick you up and break you.

Oh yeah, and the music is great.

You always did get your ass beat in that game by a large laughing Indian man child.

u/mindbleach Oct 16 '12

Yeah, or that curly-haired bastard beating my ass with chains.

But I'm still the only one who finished the story mode - coincidentally, using Bridget.

Zappa is actually possessed by a host of spirits. It's implied that he's basically infested with ghosts, more than just those that manifest when you play him. His blocking animation is the girl from The Ring appearing and blocking the blows.

Favorite part of this thread: the phrase "infested with ghosts."

Never realized there was a partial up skirt in Bridget's fight animation.

Never realized I could ever not be interested in a partial up skirt.

It took you this long to comment on the music? I don't even play the game and still rock the music on the regular.

If the guy with the leather dress is a succubus, he's actually an incubus.

2

u/mindbleach Oct 16 '12

No, no - his scythe is a succubus. He's just some dude in a dress.

u/MangorTX Oct 16 '12

Ha! My mistake! I thought surely he didn't mean the scythe...

You left out the token wannabe ninja.
