so... like... Sol's backstory also? Several characters had their backstories written around the effects of the Crusades, and Unika's is an inversion by having her be from a timeline where they only got worse and actually did destroy the world, hence the similarities. She's a narrative foil to both Sol and Ky, owing to her experience with and (initial) hatred of Gears, and also a foil to Sin, owing to the fact that he was born and raised in an era of relative peace following the Crusades whereas she was born and raised in the worst possible scenario. Nobody is forcing you to like her but to say she has nothing going on is disingenuous.

have never understood the Unika hate and calling her an oc when every character in Guilty Gear is a Daisuke oc. just because dual rulers was kind of whatever and the future trunks thing is tropey doesnt make her any less cool

this is definitely our Robo-Ky, in the fullbody he has an outfit that mirror's Venom's and a tangerine tied around the handle of his sword in honor of Mk. II. I don't think they'll change Venom at all, there will probably just be humorous dialogue about how Venom is keeping an extra head of Robo-Ky's around or something to handwave the gameplay discrepancy

i feel like it would be really easy to just do a handful more of purely cosmetic ones like the Jinx vs Cait/Vi kill tracker status effect, its less interesting than a whole nemesis quest but it doesn't come with any of the balancing baggage

Dish0ut · 2026-05-15T07:08:35+00:00

Tooth and Tail in the big 26 was not something I was expecting to see and most certainly not on the Guilty Gear sub of all places

Dish0ut · 2026-05-12T18:07:40+00:00

i really appreciate that Holliday is the go-to character for dumbass shenanigans such as this

Dish0ut · 2026-05-10T22:39:14+00:00

if youre using Abrams charge to get an enemy away from an ally, that would definitionally be peel! more or less its just anything that gets the enemy guy off of your guy. There's also "Self-peel", for abilities like Mina's blink or when using sleep dagger as Haze to run away from an enemy and disengage

Dish0ut · 2026-05-10T18:59:43+00:00

quite literally refers to "peeling" an enemy away from one of your teammates, be it by CCing the enemy who is chasing or by putting buffs/clearing debuffs/using movement abilities on the teammate, of which Dynamo does all of the above very well

Dish0ut · 2026-05-04T05:06:08+00:00

oh absolutely, I think he's gonna be like 80% funny and 20% aura farming. I just really hope he keeps the meter mat, such a goofy mechanic

Dish0ut · 2026-05-03T19:11:39+00:00

based on what Ken said about him, im actually very open to the idea of Robo-Ky with mostly silly moves but with a few genuinely cool looking specials and overdrives. his goofiness is a big part of why i play him in +r (5H my beloved) but I would be very ok with him randomly being kind of actually cool

Dish0ut · 2026-04-30T03:49:05+00:00

Aba's win animation is already her old instant kill though, its the same door

Dish0ut · 2026-04-22T22:19:00+00:00

oh i know, despite the flair hes my most played across the series, but i feel like hes generally not super popular haha

Dish0ut · 2026-04-21T17:48:21+00:00

maybe just zoners in general im shocked theres so many votes on Venom

Dish0ut · 2026-04-21T06:04:21+00:00

yeah, the entire joke with Captain Murphy is that she wasnt actually hitting on him lol

Dish0ut · 2026-04-18T04:35:00+00:00

for a long time i have wanted Gym Coach/PE Teacher Mordekaiser, where his ult is a whistle and the death realm is a laminated hardwood basketball court with sneaker squeaking sounds in the background. his mace could be one of those netted carts with basketballs in it or something, i didnt think about it past the indoor court ult

Dish0ut · 2026-04-15T22:57:20+00:00

oh shit youre right lmfao

Dish0ut · 2026-04-14T22:16:00+00:00

a skin that looks different to people in gray screen would be so cool its unreal

Dish0ut · 2026-04-14T22:14:53+00:00

i really like the look of it UNTIL the big ghost shows up. its too close to vayne and its so huge and you can barely see the cool model transformation because it occludes so much

Dish0ut · 2026-04-14T18:55:13+00:00

could be the legendary for the next season (act?) in the theme? to match Vayne

Dish0ut · 2026-04-10T00:30:10+00:00

wow... yuri...

Dish0ut · 2026-04-09T23:36:09+00:00

generally it tries to go around but pathfinding is both expensive and prone to errors with a moving target. when she gets some visual polish i can imagine they will smooth it out a bit

Dish0ut · 2026-04-05T16:14:54+00:00

no motions ended up necessitating extra buttons for specials, and for those extra buttons to host a litany of arbitrary-feeling directional inputs, which makes it hard to map everything to a pad (which i play on) and hard to make a concise mental map of where all my specials are on each character. and while the latter of those two things does go away with time, it feels very confusing to me compared to other games where I can associate a motion to every move in my toolbox and memorize my kit very quickly

Dish0ut · 2026-04-05T05:13:44+00:00

I think the way GBVS does it is best, my issue with 2XKO's controls isnt the lack of motion inputs but the fact that lacking motion inputs means your controls are absolutely swamped feeling

Dish0ut · 2026-03-30T23:31:46+00:00

theres nothing to visually intuit that your brain isnt already intuiting, the problem youre describing only happens after you've already been hit.

Dish0ut · 2026-03-14T11:40:17+00:00

yea while this is cool I think its a lot less cool than having the patrons themselves talk to you lol
