The OFFICIAL Guilty Gear Canon Plotline Q & A Thread

[Blade]

Classification doesn't necessarily mean "stronger", it just means that they have a higher hierarchy. Sin was able to deflect Valentine's Gamma Ray due to his powers, so he could actually be as strong as a Command Type, even if he's only half or quarter Gear.

Sol is a unique case as he's the only known Gear to resist a Command Class Gear's Song, Gears and Yokai succumb to it, only Testament has some level of resistance to it, but he succumbed as well. But other than that, his strength without the Fireseal isn't enough to beat Justice.

This might have changed after his encounter with Izuna, however.

[Lou_Cypher]

Hmm... I have a small question regarding the Soul-Sinker system taught to Sol and Sin. Does it literally just make a copy of their soul and house it in their Masterghost or is it just merely an extension of their soul? (Like how Sol's masterghost is the Fireseal, Sin's is his mother, etc.) And how does that apply in story terms? Does the 'losing' a fight and then get resurrected by a masterghost still apply outside gameplay now?

[Blade]

That's a somewhat difficult question to answer. I guess you could say that so long as the Masterghost "their soul" exists, they can fight. If the "Master" is K.O.'d the Masterghost takes a huge hit in HP, but its barrier will still remain. No matter how many times the Master is defeated, the Masterghost will still function, so in a way it is their spiritual base, however

Capture Units can easily capture other Ghosts "or spiritual bases" as an extension of the Masterghost's power, this in turn can restore the Master's HP, Tension, and the HP of his Servants. However, Capture Units are incredibly weak by comparison. So in a way they act as a "heartbeat". So long as another Masterghost and Master exists, they cannot capture the entire field, even if the Masters do nothing, as the Capture Units will basically destroy eachother on contact. This is somewhat like how the "ego" works, as long as there is a field of influence (or a desire to win/fight at least), the capture Units would keep pumping themselves out of the Master Ghost.

Lastly you have the Master and Servants and Mobile Minion. The Master serves as the central "active" extension of the Masterghost, meanwhile his Servants are to some extent representatives of his personality in various capacities based on need and adaptivity. But because they are more active than Capture Units, they require Mana to be summoned, Mana is generated by destroying other units and capturing Ghosts. This is also why destroying a Servant won't hurt the Masterghost or Master directly. Lastly, you have Mobile Minions, they are similar in Function to a Servant, but require Tension, not Mana to summon.

One other thing, only Servants and Mobile Minions can destroy a Masterghost's barrier, but they cannot actually "kill" the Masterghost, since they are Mana and Tension manifestations, the Master himself has to land the killing blow. A Master can wail on a Masterghost's barrier for a long period of time and do chip damage, but only Tension Attacks would actually do damage.

Something else worth noting:

Sol: Uses Soul Sinker System

Valentine: Uses Soul Sinker + Vizuel (Vizuel are a type of Youkai existence generated from Valentine's 'intent' created in the Backyard)

Izuna: Has his Youkai friends help him.

Paradigm: Has his Gear friends help him.

Sin + Ky: Uses soldiers of Illuriya Kingdom's Army. Sin can still summon a Mobile Minion, however.

Raven: Uses Soul Sinker via Valentine's servants.

I'm not entirely sure if Soul Sinker has anything to do with Gear Sublimation, but it may seem that way, as Sin and Sol were unable to move at first, and would have been sublimated if Izuna had not intervened.

soo.... why didn't sol kill justice?

[Blade]

Probably because he was no longer a member of the Sacred Order, to them he's a deserter and wanted criminal and thief (being a deserter alone is warrant of a death penalty in some armies). When he broke his limiter, he only had just enough time to beat Justice into submission, then he had to run away (seeing as he didn't want people to see him with the Gear mark).

That and, unlike the alternate history, Ky is the leader of the Order now, and probably much more humane than Sol (even despite Justice's war crimes).

[Blade]

Okay guys, something nice coming your way: http://www.gearproject.onehitcombo.net/Guilty_Gear/Story_Dialogue/Guilty_Gear_The_Missing_Link.txt

This is all the compiled data on the first Guilty Gear, everything in-game and in-manual that relates to the story is in this document. Worth noting is the fact this game has mirror match quotes, which almost never happen unless a 2nd player challenges you in Normal "Arcade" Mode. Also, this doc contains data that most other faqs that were incomplete didn't have as some were missing key bits of story data or never finished.

[Sunnyday]

Thanks allot blade. . I save it on a words doc :-D

[Blade]

Sunnyday, I'm hoping you can help me, then. At some point I put up this url:

http://mimeblade.oddigytitanium.com/Guilty_Gear/Guilty_Gear_Quote_Project/GGXXACP_Win_Quotes.txt

The GGXXACP_Win_Quotes.txt file is long gone, as is my server space there for some dumb reason, and I can't seem to find that text. If you or someone else has a backup of it you saved on impulse, I'd appreciate getting a fresh copy for uploading and making a backup of.

[clockmongler]

I think I got you covered, dude.

[Sunnyday]

wow. Sorry Blade. i did not notice the server space has got down the drain. Thank god clockmongler help you in the end. I also save it right now for later just in case you miss that backup again.

[Blade]

Okay so, here's a "compliled" data, winquote, and dialogue FAQ that covers the events of GGX/GGX+:

http://www.gearproject.onehitcombo.net/Guilty_Gear/Story_Dialogue/Guilty_Gear_X_By_Your_Side_G_Gear.txt

I've updated and reorganized the data so that it's easier to read "as a story" and make out as quotes and such. Use it in conjunction with the GG Missing Link FAQ I posted earlier.

I will do a GGXX and Accent Core Plus FAQ soon enough.

Time for a break.

[Sunnyday]

Cool. i save it as words doc for later reading Thanks.

I really want the Accent core plus FAQ. Are you also gonna put a story transcript as well?

I was hoping to get my own FAQ done but i faill so hard at GGAC+ now these days it isn't even funny :-(

(was also trying to hack the game or do action replay with the game, But those attempts failled as well. :-( )

Anyway, enjoy your break.

[Blade]

Okay for starters...Page 12: http://darkside-ky.deviantart.com/art/GGR-P-2175-186625192

Also, a startling discovery regarding Raven (pointed out to me by Suzaku):

First, re-read Raven's Story here: http://www.gearproject.onehitcombo.net/Guilty_Gear/Story_Dialogue/Raven_Backstory.txt

NOW, read this article VERRRY carefully: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Crusade

Cool, eh?

Edit: Also posting this here for fans of the JFP. Now you know who's who!

Edited November 19, 2010 by Blade

[Blade]

Okay, here's the thing, I'm looking for Personality Profile Data.

To give you an example what this is, I'll give you Sol's Data.

==Sol Badguy==

"You won't escape me..."

==Profile==

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 163 lbs.

Blood Type: "No clue."

Birthplace: America

Birthday: "...I don't know."

Eye Color: Brown

Hobbies: Listening to Queen

Favorite Thing: Queen's Album "Sheer Heart Attack"

Dislikes: Great effort, "Doing your best."

Weapon: Fireseal (Flame-based sword nicknamed "Blazer")

==Personality Profile==

Sullen and unrefined; only speaks to others when absolutely necessary. This is reflected in

everything he does, and his fighting moves, while rough and unpolished, are executed with absolute

precision. Not a friendly man, but not an inherently evil one.

==Story==

Once a subject of biological weapon research, Sol has spent the last 150 years living as a bounty

hunter in order to conceal his past. His combat skills easily surpass those of his human counterparts,

and he is immune to the effects of age. To avert further tragedy, he continues on his quest to find

and eliminate all Gears and the scientist who created them. After the death of Justice, all the Gears

around the world should have ceased their activities; upon receiving word of a still-functioning Gear,

Sol sets out for the Tournament to investigate.

==P.W.A.B. Report==

Postwar Admin. Bureau Report #9641

Solid information on this subject's history is, regrettably, still hard to come by.

Here is what we know: After joining the Sacred Order of Holy Knights in 2172, he deserted and became a

bounty hunter. One account places the subject in the year 2014 - exactly as he looks today - participating

in the Gear Project.

Though his motives are unknown, he has been spotted hunting down and destroying Gears.

His victory over Justice should serve as ample evidence of his superhuman battle ability. His occult powers

easily surpass all known limits.

Because of his muddy past and inmense power, he is considered to be incredibly dangerous.

Risk Rating: S

Okay, now that you know what Personality Profile data is, I'm looking for the data for the following characters:

Bridget

Zappa

Slayer

I-No

These are the only characters that currently don't have easily found Personality Profiles, they have Stories, PWAB Profiles, and basic Profile data, but this key component is missing. Ideally I'd like to find this data from an official source. So far in the sites I've looked, I've not seen anything trustworthy, nor are the English manuals trustworthy. If someone could find the data or provide it along with the source, I'd appreciate it.

Edit: Also, does anyone know if Judgment, Raymond, Fanny, Gig, or Leopaldon had profiles?

Edited January 4, 2011 by Blade

[Blade]

Okay well, the profile issue was resolved, so now I present a somewhat belated Christmas/New Year's Gift:

GG: http://www.gearproject.onehitcombo.net/Guilty_Gear/Story_Dialogue/Guilty_Gear_The_Missing_Link.txt

GGX: http://www.gearproject.onehitcombo.net/Guilty_Gear/Story_Dialogue/Guilty_Gear_X_By_Your_Side_G_Gear.txt

GGXX: http://www.gearproject.onehitcombo.net/Guilty_Gear/Story_Dialogue/Guilty_Gear_XX_The_Midnight_Carnival.txt *Now with New Profiles and Updated Story Data*

Well, after this I'll make one for GGXXAC+ and that should fill in all the gaps for you guys.

And translate Night of Knives of course.

Guilty Gear Judgment Dialogue FAQ (Work-in-Progress):

http://www.gearproject.onehitcombo.net/Guilty_Gear/Story_Dialogue/Guilty_Gear_Judgment.txt

It's tedious because it's a lot of repetition, but I'll get it finished eventually.

[Dr.Faust]

I got some qustions.

What is Venom's race

Do any of you think That Man,Ravan,or Sharan will be playabl charates/or bosses in the next GG

What is Sharan?

Why did Testement Chang himself into a gear

Is Biken's swaord(forgive my spelling) one of Sol's wepons, and what is makeing he so evil

What will be Anji's fath if he contenues to work for That Man.

Is S-KO Axl's lover

[Dr.Faust]

Not exactly story-related but...

Does anyone know what exactly Zappa is wearing?

It looks like that white mold is grafted to his skin. Yet he is wearing a speedo over it and has a t-shirt on under it. Is it explained somewhere in his background?

i think is a ballet sute. I do beleave that Zappa is a dancer

[Shadow Draygon]

I got some qustions.

What is Venom's race

Uh, he's just human and black, born in England.

Do any of you think That Man,Ravan,or Sharan will be playabl charates/or bosses in the next GG

Sharon hasn't show any fighting capabilties yet in the story or game, but it's all 'what if' when it comes to future characters that are playable.

What is Sharan?

She's an immortal, other than the fact that she infallible (Eddie tried to possess her and died trying) little is know about her.

Why did Testement Chang himself into a gear

I don't believe it was completely of his will, I know the Postwar Administration Bureau were the one responsible for turning him in to a Gear.

Is Biken's swaord(forgive my spelling) one of Sol's wepons, and what is makeing he so evil

Baiken's sword isn't part of the Outrage and they don't have any affect on the people who wields them, it doesn't make Sol evil so I don't know where you got that. Out of the 7 or 8 pieces that make up the Outrage out of the cast that own one is Sol, Ky, and Anji the rest is either unknown or in control of the UN.

What will be Anji's fath if he contenues to work for That Man.

That's just one ending, it may or may not be cannon without further explination.

Is S-KO Axl's lover

Little is known, but it seems S-Ko is connected to Axl in some way from the past. But the same is also said of I-No as she recognizes him.

[Blade]

Woah, dude, slow down.

Venom's from England though he has dark skin (possibly part Egyptian/African?). He's an orphan so we don't know if he's truly from England.

Your second question is mere speculation. Raven is currently playable as of GG2 Overture as DLC on XBox 360 he has a series of teleportation and shooting moves and he can affect people with slow fields or manipulate them with his Ravens...he's about the equivalent of Arakune mixed with Nu-13 in BlazBlue.

That Man was more or less a danmaku boss of sorts, but he may or may not be playable, we'll see.

Sharon is Slayer's wife, so I doubt it. She's never spoken before, so I don't know what kind of role she has aside from Slayer sucking out her blood to gain power to fight, or her regenerative powers.

Testament didn't change himself into a Gear. It was announced that the Postwar Administrative Bureau did it to him as of GGXX Story Dialogue (click my links above to read up on him).

Baiken is a girl, her sword isn't an OutRage, and she isn't evil, she's just angry at That Man.

Anji Mito's fate is unknown. He's seesawing between That Man and supporting his own people of Japan right now, and also trying to help May find her parents.

S-ko is short for Sadako Yamamura from "The Ring" horror movies, Axl's girlfriend was named Megumi, so unlikely.

Zappa's outfit looks to be a mix between a body cast or some kind of safety suit, but NOTHING IS CONFIRMED.

Please don't speculate if you don't know, this is not the thread for it! Thanks.

[Dr.Faust]

OK Thanks Guys/Gals.

And by me asking What is Sharan I mean what is her spices. human,demon,sucabas,ect

[Shadow Draygon]

She's a Highlander.

[clockmongler]

Venom's from England though he has dark skin

Though

Because, you know. Black people can't come from England.
