However, in the end, what really changed is the first feeling, like the impression you have when you first play the game.
#SOOMIN GUILTY GEAR PLAYER SERIES#
Sometimes the series fans have the impression the game became simple, and now it's shallow. We don't want to create a misunderstanding. Previously, before improving in play, you had to memorise these difficult things. In what ways has the game changed in order to make it something a new audience could enjoy?ĭaisuke Ishiwatari: The biggest thing that has changed is, in previous Guilty Gear games you needed to memorise long combos in order to play the game. So we wanted to make something entirely new, that a new audience could enjoy. What was your goal with Strive, particularly in relation to differentiating it from previous games in the series?ĭaisuke Ishiwatari: In general, the Guilty Gear series up until now has become something only the core fans could keep up with. We discuss everything from tweaks to Guilty Gear's famous Gatling combos, the addition of wall breaks, modes that failed to make launch because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, Strive's already controversial 2D lobbies, new characters and the seemingly overpowered poster boy Sol Badguy - who, by the way, Ishiwatari voices himself. Over the course of 45 minutes, I chatted with Ishiwatari about the development of Strive, what it sets out to achieve, and tried to get some insight into the various design decisions the team made along the way. That's what Daisuke Ishiwatari told me in a recent interview over Zoom. With Strive, Arc System Works hopes to finally "open up" Guilty Gear, 23 years after it made its debut on PSone. Play online as a newcomer against the series' modest but seriously properly into it fanbase and, well, you can imagine how hard things can get. Head for the hills! This one's even harder than the last! Long combos, brutal timing, multiple complex mechanics and tricky characters - Guilty Gear has it all and then some.
Perhaps it would be better to say Guilty Gear's reputation hangs around its neck like a cowbell.

But the bigger picture is this: with Strive, chief creator Daisuke Ishiwatari aims to do the seemingly impossible - make Guilty Gear accessible. Developer Arc System Works has held a number of beta tests, each with its own set of issues pounced upon by the anime fighting game series' fans.
