What is Guilty Gear?
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 little more enthusiasm.
