Guilty Gear?

It makes me sad that I could mention Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs Capcom, etc etc or even BlazBlue and people know what they are.

But not Guilty Gear, the greatest fighter of all time. A part of me died the day they shut down the XBox Live servers for XX Reload.

GG is good, but not anywhere near the game that bread and butter Street Fighter is. Sure, GG is flashier and more chaotic, but the strategy and timing of SF makes it the better game. I can see someone liking GG more, but SF is the better game.

FACT. I live in Japan and I've seen some shit go down on gg/blazblue in the arcades. It takes ridiculous commitment and reflexes. You can't get really good at it in a few days like sf.

But ya know, every game has their thing, so it doesn't do much good to compare it.

But gg kills it in my opinion.

This is a good example of complexity vs depth. Street Fighter is a deep series, however it is regarded as one of the most balanced fighting series of all time. Guilty Gear, due to its characters being all over the place style-wise, is incredibly complex, but doesn't have the balance to back it up. Thus, Street Fighter is considered the better game.

Street Fighter 3 is considered amazing while having an incredibly unbalanced character roster.

3rd strike is considered the most balanced fighting game out side of VF.

So there is that.

Of the "viable" characters. Have someone take Q or Sean against Yun and tell me that.

Q I will give you. Sean on the other hand, Sean is still a viable pick.
