I had been a lifelong Guilty Gear player (the original PS1 game being the first game I ever owned as a kid), and was pretty much uninterested in any other fighting games. Then Guilty Gear stopped getting updated, and I had no new games to look forward to. My friends all liked Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom, but I could never get into them. Didn't care for the characters in Street Fighter and the mechanics for MvC never clicked for me. In college, my friend introduced me to Continuum Shift Extend, and I gave it a shot. Went for Ragna, because I liked his design, and got throttled. Worst loss of my life in any game I had ever played.
And I was hooked.
Traded in a bunch of games to get Extend on PS3, and when I wasn't in school, I was practicing against Unlimited Hazama on Hell, doing whatever it took to get better than my friend. BlazBlue was everything I loved about Guilty Gear plus a bunch of systems I never knew I needed. My love for it has persisted, though I almost gave it up with Chronophantasma Extend, when a lot of my old combos stopped working. I've recently reawoke my passion for it, even getting the China only mobile game Revolution Reburning on my phone, and getting CPEX for every system I have.
I've since given up Guilty Gear. My hands aren't strong enough to handle it anymore. BlazBlue has become my only fighting game, and I'm damn glad that it's apart of my life.
