Blade

Things to point out on the relationship chart: --So we've finally established Leopaldon and Gig are gears...phew...was worried there. --No links are made to A.B.A. though her Key Paracelsus had a past experience/rivalry with Slayer. --Paracelsus (the Scientist, not the Key named after him), has some relationship with Slayer and the Assassin's Guild that required Slayer to "clean up" Frasco, the mansion Flament Nagel and A.B.A. resided in. --Faust and Raymond were colleagues but we don't know to what extent or perhaps if Raymond knew of the botched surgery. --This is the first time we've discovered S-ko "Loves" Zappa officially. Before it seemed as though she only sought vengeance against a certain person. --Not mentioned, but Robo-Ky MK I hates his creator, and seldom ever listens to him. Robo-Ky MK II considers himself "superior" to Robo-Ky MK I. A side story reveals there was a prototype Robo-Ky that sacrificed itself to procure data for MK I. --Not mentioned, Jam now relies on Bridget as her gofer/busboy at the restaurant. --Bridget has been scouted (to consternation) by Johnny for the Jellyfish, and is according to May, and unofficial friend and ally. He's aware of the bounties past and present now, and is friends with Dizzy as well. --Baiken has been scouted both for the Jellyfish and the Assassin's Guild, not known if she accepts, though possible she accepts the latter, either by Slayer or by Venom. Also scouted by Chipp at some point. --Eddie finds Sharon revolting and the antithesis of his existence. --May is Japanese and Anji tries to be her confidant in this. She might have a possible connection to an orphanage Millia salvaged. --Venom has known Faust in the past and almost says his original name. --Faust has past history with both the Assassin's Guild and the United Nations/PWAB. --Slayer offers Faust an opportunity to become an Elder, Faust declines. --Chipp doesn't specifically say he wants to become president of Zepp, though it seems he tries to gain support there, but he wants to be president in general...this is prior to the events that led him to meet the president of A Country, Erika Bartholomew. --Chipp's master Tsuyoshi was a former member of the Assassin Guild, but because he was a sleeper for the International Police Force, he was hunted and killed, though to be more accurate, he died of overexhertion. As a result, Chipp swears vengeance on the people who attacked (Volf and his group), though Venom was the one who gave the order, Chipp swears to settle things with Slayer eventually. Ironically, Venom states that if Chipp becomes president, Venom will swear his loyalty to Chipp. Chipp has former connections with the Mafia. --Izuna and Valentine both consider themselves residents of the Backyard, though Izuna is a Yokai, similar to Inus, the former king of the Underworld (destroyed by Raymond/Judgment). --No connection between Axl and Raven is established or mentioned, also Axl knew Kliff when he was younger, and is close friends with Slayer (a drinking buddy). Axl also has an ongoing rivalry with Anji. --(? Needs confirmation) Johnny and Crow were former students under the same Iai master, though Crow was expelled supposedly. --I-no refers to anything created/designed by That Man as Trash, this includes Sol, Justice, and also Dizzy...though she knows Axl, it's more accurate to say Axl says she's familiar. She and Axl are the only ones who are capable of time travel. (Possible link to Megumi/Axl's gang?). --Millia's love for Zato-1 was one-sided, as he used her when it was convenient. Eventually she betrayed him and he became obsessed with hunting her, calling her the "ideal assassin". They both harbor Forbidden Beasts of the 6th and 7th magics. --It's not known what company created Dr. Paradigm unless That Man has some hand in his creation. --Testament was converted by the Post War Administrative Bureau, and has very little to do with That Man, though it says he was remodeled. He has a 40+ year history with Kliff who is his adoptive father.

First, if you're looking for sprites, go here: http://www.justnopoint.com/ggslash/index.php?id=5 (All sprites have a background if it's PNG format. Adobe Fireworks can make it a transparancy if you want, also animations.)

I've been working on that one...do you like Brown Hair or Black Hair for him?

Nothing is confirmed regarding PWAB itself but...Crow and "The Professor" as Robo-Ky refers to him are separate characters...whether or not they are affiliated is uncertain (you see him in Isuka working on MK II). Though in all honest he might just be a non-canonical technician like the other lab guys in the PWAB stage working on Robo-Ky Substance (aka BIG Robo-Ky). In AC+ Robo-Ky refers to Crow as "Dame-hakase" or "Useless Professor" (he likes to say Dame a lot...like Jojo says "Ora" or Dio says "Muda"), he calls Ky "Dame-Original". I'm not sure the exact terms to which Robo-Ky and Crow work under, but Crow seems to be able to work and maintenance him, also testing his Justice-copy periodically on him. You could say he's Robo's handler, though perhaps not his creator, we can't really know for sure. It's sorta his job to keep Robo in line...but Robo-Ky kinda hates him, so there you go. Crow gets especially frustrated when they successfully "convince" Dizzy to come along with them and Robo-Ky ends up getting them lost in a forest. Equally possible is the point where he destroy's Robo-Ky in favor of the P-Series "Robotemkin" units...so we don't know much.

Lordamighty why doesn't anyone use Imageshack.......? Also, Love affinity does not equal Marriage/Sexual relations....I think you guys are reading too much into it, even if it's hinted at...I won't argue for or against the idea, since I don't care, but I'm just pointing out a technicality.

I noticed you get different colors if you pick Auto mode or Auto+Turbo...you can't pick other colors if you pick those for some reason.

As you all know my stance on OTPs you know I hate them all. (Yes, I am like Jin, they can all DIE! :D) BUT, I understand people's need to pair their two favorite male and female characters together regardless of the story. Still, any fanfic writer worth his/her salt might want to consider doing "lesser popular/lesser known" OTP ideas, just for something fresh. For example: Justice x Testament Baiken x Johnny Chipp x Millia Bet you never thought of those, eh? Oh and one more thing: I still have my doubts regarding Dizzy being Justice's "legitimate daughter", though the chart states it as how Dizzy views Justice as her mother, the relationship is NOT reciprocated, so there you go...

I hate to admit, but I'm kinda new to this game series since I just picked up Chaos Tower for PSP recently, so can anyone tell me all what unlockables, secrets, and other stuff I should be concerned about in this game? Also I have no clue what all capcom's alternate colors are for this...I heard 8 but there might be more, does anyone know how to pick them? Edit: I'd like to learn Jedah/Donovan at some point, just because Donovan is DEE.

In your OTP perhaps... -_-

A.B.A. doesn't have a brother. >.> I should mention the relationship chart isn't complete!! To be specific about A.B.A., she's got a one-way love going on with Flament Nagel who she calls Paracelsus after her creator. Apparently her creator (Paracelsus, who historically is a famous alchemist) was called away by a military organization (I'm thinking he worked for either Soshiki, PWAB, or perhaps Zepp). Flament Nagel was a "wild relic" left over from the war originally incapacitated by Slayer, though Slayer went through the Frasco house and rediscovered Flament years later along with ABA. We're not really sure where Flament Nagel came from except that Paracelsus (ABA's creator) probably dug him out of the ruins and put him in weapon storage.

Regarding locations that Sunnyday mentioned: A lot of "cities" that have appeared in GG are either recently rebuilt or hidden away from the natural world due to Kekkai (seals) barriers and other dimensional uses of magic. That, and there has been a recent outcropping of places that exist "outside" what is considered the natural world, one I can think of is the Makai or Underworld where Yokai beings exist (think Izuna/Slayer), and then you have areas that are actually "floating islands" (see Zappa's stage for reference). A lot of stuff by now has been constructed by magic and there are whole cities where mages/witches/wizards reside in (see GG Isuka). There are wild wastelands where gears actually roam free from what I understand. There is a lower/upper crust in societies where you have noble classes and lower peasant classes so it's somewhat like a mix of modern and middle ages, depending on the location. Some places still maintain a sense of technology even if it doesn't involve cars or something futuristic, as usually blacktech is associated with weaponry/security systems. Remember, Zepp is an Airship Nation, they don't have a geography to speak of. There are still farms and villages of course, but these are scattered apart from what I understand. There are still major cities under IPF's protection and jurisdiction. And of course castle and city ruins all over the world, like visiting Nagasaki and Hiroshima after the fallout. To be quite honest, Guilty Gear has a big mix of modern technology, middle age classicalism, ancient spiritual mysticism, ancient folklore, and mythologies from different cultures. I know that sounds like a blanket explanation, but let's say you were to mix what you know (backstory-wise) of Ancient Grecco-Roman wars, Darkstalkers (especially Vampire Savior/Chaos Tower), Street Fighter, Last Blade, King of Fighters, with just a hint of Hokuto no Ken's Mad Maxx apocolyptica....then you might get the "gist" of what Guilty Gear has as far as a backdrop. Regarding the crusades: At first the initial idea is that Gears were "used" as weapons by various nations that suddenly turned on their masters, so you can essentially expect there was a massacre or two. On top of this, you have Megadeth class gears that can level whole cities (who knows what inspired their creation?). Humans had little if anything they could use to combat gears at first, and even though guns were considered blacktech by then (since the use of Magic abolished traditional weaponry), they were still used in smaller circles/elite groups. (Consider that Sol was able to survive several gunshots after going Dragon Install...(GGX Drama CD) By the time the Sacred Order of Holy Knights was formed, Frederick had already created a solution in the form of the OutRage Jinki, which are traditional weapons redesigned with the capabilities of conducting and amplifying magic. Though only a select few used Jinki, there were other weapons designed with the idea in mind. Probably, if you consider the Soul Sinker system in GG2, you could get some idea of how combat was conducted with groups of soldiers working in the front lines as a physical force and magic soldiers working behind those etc etc Military tactics, in other words you had different groups working together in formation to defeat the gears who had an assortment of innate magical ability. Of course, Gears come in all shapes and sizes and dangers, so at first they may not necessarily have used military formations like humanity did at first, since they were created as weapons to be efficient in and of themselves, but humans can most likely adapt to various combat situations and develop new methods to deal with the Gear armies. Gears also have a tendency to work as a hive mind i.e. follow the command type Gear, expectedly their flaw, Gears would generally not do anything unless Justice or another command type gave the order. Humans more than likely tried to take advantage of this, by aiming specifically for Justice many times, though that wasn't easy in the end (and probably resulted in many casualties). And if you consider how dangerous Justice might have been had she been similar to Valentine's boss form, then it takes on a whole new meaning to "untouchable", though Sol managed to negate that with little trouble (though I think he had Ky's help...a little). So to sum up: magic, weapons, ki, a combination of ancient martial arts, and other things played a factor in the Crusades. Even alchemic beings like Flament Nagel existed as living weapons. It's interesting to note that the Postwar Administrative Bureau is aware of Ki users, Japanese, Jinki, Yokai, Blacktech Robotics, Interdimensional beings, Forbidden Magics, and Gears of course...not necessarily because of their observations of the world, but more than likely their ability to utilize some if not all of those categories. That tells me they had a hand in the Crusades just as much as the Sacred Order and Gears did.

Edit: Ah damn...you said Milwaukie, not Milwaukee....

T-T I'm happy for you, Aegis....someday....someday I'll be done with mine...

That reminds me, I never mentioned this, but I always wanted to make a Guilty Gear Shootemup: Ky: Fires Stun Edges Sol: Shoots Gunflames Dizzy: Uses her Fish "Option" lasers Chipp: Shoots Gamma Blade/Alpha Blade Anji: Fires Butterflies Zappa: Shoots Ghosts Millia: Fires Living Lancer Venom: Stinger Aims/Dark Angel Heck, That Man could be a danmaku boss again! :D Raven too!

I envy you so much, ElvenShadow....you know that....so much competition...so many parties...it's not fair, dammit...

As long as you can still play it...I don't think anyone'll object.

Smut or whatever, if it's official, do tell. Edit: So this is what you were talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%27s_Blade

Darn you Zazz....where do you keep finding this stuff???

*is late in watching* That was um....about Rabbits....and...Millia's head splitting open like Parasyte...and...Eddie talking like a sock puppet....and....um....Crow riding Robo-Ky like a bike....

Considering how diverse the GG Franchise has been lately, we can't really predict the next one will actually be a fighting game. Consider several "other" GG installments: --Guilty Gear: Rise of Arms (Cellphone Game) --Guilty Gear Isuka (4-way chaotic beat em up survival + pseudo 'Final Fight'ish Boost Mode + Robo-Ky Custom Builder) --Guilty Gear Judgment (Take Boost Mode and mulitply it times 5, though I must admit, Boost Mode in Isuka is harder) --Guilty Gear: Dust Strikers (somewhat like Isuka but you have 4 rungs you can knock people off of and fight a freaky monster to boot, Dust Strikers also has a lot of mini-games in it besides). We might actually see a Guilty Gear RPG next time...

I really like Millia's "old" outfit.

Oh hell yes! Have you seen the content!? Classic GG artwork!!

O.o.....okay....sometime in March AND April then...

I'm not sure how I did this, but I managed to Grand Viper>RC>Wild Throw...Is this legitimate?

March, actually, March 8th.
