Favorite weapon is probably Junkyard Dog. The lighter design is super fucking cool and shows a side of Sol that, to me, is really interesting. Plus any weapon that loads “cartridges” into it automatically gets extra points from me.
Least favorite would probably be Kliff’s oversized butter knife. Doesn’t exude any personality or give an insight into his character. It exists as a novelty for novelty’s sake. And in a series where people are using giant anchors, blade-size changing scythes, coffins with aliens in them, shadow monsters, and your literal hair, Kliff’s weapon is kind of just there.
Kliff's sword is reminiscent of his character, the fact that it's old fashioned is because *he's* old fashioned (and just old). A novelty sword for a novelty man.
Also, that blade was used to kill a dragon. If I killed a dragon, I'd keep that thing on me just to flex.
Weapons that you load cartridges in like that are so fuckin cool
I really love gunblades like Squall's/what Gunbreakers use, the ones that use the cartridge to make the blade cut better
shits so fuckin badass and i want one so damn badly
My favorites are Ram’s swords. They’re basically dual giant gunblades, and I think that is SUPER sick. Honorable mentions go to Millia’s hair and Goldlewis’s sarcophagus on a chain with an alien inside. I mean, what’s not to like about that?
Least favorite? Uhhh probably Happy Chaos’s gun. Afaik it’s just a regular gun. Nothing particularly cool about its design and I dislike being zoned by it from fullscreen.
I actually just took a closer look at crescent moon on google images lol. I don’t disagree with you, it is an interesting design for a gun. It’s really hard to notice any of its details in the context of playing the game unfortunately.
Ah shit right I forgot Deus Ex Machina exists and he actually has two guns.
So one replica, one of the six guns and the other 5 are scattered through the dimensions.
Revolvers that have semi-realistic looking handles and barrels but the rest of them are practically fucking rectangular go so hard. Shoutout to Ultrakill and Billy thé Kid from ZZZ
I wanted to. Play Ram when I played guilty gear for the first time. I think her design is very stylish and imposing. The swords are pretty unique despite the fact that they make me have a stroke in the corner. They remind me of crossbow/throwing weapon mechanics from other games. You know, you have to pick up the weapon that does a lot of damage before using it again?
Funnily enough, that's why I like HC's weapon: it's literally *just a gun*. Granted, some magic properties, but it's still just a bog-standard gun.
It fits with how Happy Chaos operates: dude can literally level the entire cast and then some, but chooses to gimp himself by using a gun (that he, by self-admittance, has zero skill with) because he finds it more entertaining than if he were to simply eradicate everyone with his omnipotent powers.
if you've seen the concept art, its one of the most nonsense gun designs from a practical point of view
the drum is close to the end of the barrel which would massively decrease accuracy since there's way less barrel for the bullet to travel
it's got both a revolving drum with 6 shots *and* a 1 bullet mag in the handle
it's got a slide despite being a revolver
and (speculation entirely based on how the gun works when playing them, i haven't paid that close attention to the fire animation yet) a release trigger
its an overengineered nonsensical stupid gun and yet it perfectly makes sense that chaos would wield the replica and not its godgun magic original
While the gun itself is meh, I think the thing he does in story mode where he uses magic to make bullets out of the same material/magic/whatever as Nago's regeneration preventing sword is cool as hell
mhm mhm yup regular gun that only a few of exist in the entire multiverse and he has one and *doesn't use it,* opting to use a replica that i'm convinced doesn't actually shoot bullets and he's using magic to *pretend* to
I’m the complete opposite. I think it’s cool and hilarious that there’s gigantic gun blades, two ton M60s, (a fucking magic yo-yo, seriously?) a fox spirit, giant scythes but happy chaos just pulls out the future equivalent of a magnum.
I'm still a personal fan of Order Sols weapon of choice since its just a god damn slab of concrete he picked up and found. However I actually hate Kliffs sword, since it looks like a oversized chef's knife and I just can't like it.
Thé mechanical detailing on Ram’s swords are awesome, especially the way they mimick the shape language of katanas, The detail on Nagoriyuki’s sword handle and the way it locks into the sheath is also sick. I think Bridget’s yo-yo is seriously underrated, it looks really cool to me and the technical chunkiness contrasts nicely with the softness of the rest of Bridget’s design. I also love her animations with it- the hits of the Yo-yo lack impact, but it’s meant to be a light weapon, and her athletic dance performance with it is really expressive and fun to look at imo.
The walking yo-yo thing is actually a real yo-yo trick called "walk the dog"! So are some of her other moves like Loop-the-Loop, Stop and Dash, Kickstart my Heart, and etc!
Without Roger and looking completely different*
My favorite is either A.B.A's key or Goldlewis's coffin. They both ooze personality because both are sentient and I love cool sentient weapons
Least favorite is either Chipps armblade or Johnny or Baikens swords. There just boring weapons, but there's nothing wrong with them. I like every guilty gear weapon to some extent
Baiken has a massive ensemble of weapons. A chain, a flintlock, a katana, a flail, etc. I think her diversity puts her above a lot of the cast. It kind of reminds me of D&D fighters.
I actually kind of like Johnny's sword. It's completely a flashy weapon and is kind of impractical. It appears to be made to be a conceal carry blade. It feels like a mall ninja weapon, which gives Johnny that overly bombastic attitude he has. He could settle for a weapon that's more functional, but no- he *has* to look cool.
As someone with a passing interest in firearms Happy Chaos' guns **infuriate** me /hj. Legit like at least half of it is just useless metal weighing it down, the firing mechanism has to be a nightmare, and the cylinder is put so far up the gun that the barrel length is only like half an inch lol. Before anyone mentions magic, I know I just don't care, overanalyzing things is fun.
in terms of favorite I would have to say Milia's hair.
tfw the magical gun from the borderlands dimension that manifests pentagrams and summoning circles doesn't look like a cop revolver from 1954
why are gun people like this
Considering HC gimps himself on purpose to draw out more entertainment, it seems on brand for him to use a gun that's also unwieldly to make it more "challenging" for him.
>Bridg
mr redditor mr redditor can the next post be about something completely random like "what guilty gear foods look the most tasty" and then just finish with something about how bridget is the worst lmao
Yeah, makes me never want to praticipate in discussion of my char in most spaces.
Like, yeah, I get it, y'all hate her. Guess I'll have to just enjoy the character on my own.
No one hates her she's just kinda boring compared to the rest of the cast (mainly cause she doesn't get a chance to have much character development due to being irrelevant to the story)
My favorite weapon is definitely Venom's pool cue. Not only is he one of the coolest characters in fighting game history but also one of the most unique characters I've ever come across. Nothing screams badass more than a mysterious assassin who is able to manipulate billiard balls. It is incredibly cool that you can control Venom's netrual depending on where you place the billiards and how they ricochet across the screen. Not to mention that you can control the momentum too. Venom is definitely one of the coolest executed characters I've seen in a fighting game and the pool cue is perfection.
My runner-up goes for A.B.A. I found Paracelsus as a giant key axe pretty damn hilarious while adding a Halloween factor since A.B.A. is technically Frankenstein in nature. It's like she found her own personal bodyguard to help keep her company. I love his googly eyes and stitched mouth. Praying that these guys come to Strive soon!
As for my least favorite, Kliff's Dragonslayer. While I am aware of the lore behind it, the design doesn't match the description. I find the design and lore behind it painfully generic and cliche. The sword looks pretty cheap in nature and the weight is off and doesn't flow smoothly. That giant blade could fall off at any moment. The wooden crossguard and handle throws it off entirely.
I like billiards irl so the theming of Venom is awesome to me. It's even more unconventional than Bridget's yo-yos but executed a million times better. Also, Venom just looks and behaves way cooler than Bridget too. I want him in GGST so bad.
Ramlethal’s swords are so cool. They are big as hell first off, then they break into a cannon to fire lasers, and **then** you realize she doesn’t even use the actual blades of it until her instant kill. I remember using the model viewer at times to just stare at them.
Sin’s flag is also really good, but I didn’t really like it until Strive. The way that fabric flows when he does his combos is magical. I’m glad they were finally able to achieve that with this game. It has also has a funny lore behind it.
The Bedframe is fucking amazing. It’s like a transforming mecha and a horror monster at once. It makes the simply designed bed siblings stand out in a great way by taking up most of the screen.
Least favorite? I guess Axl if I have to say something. It’s weird that a guy that doesn’t like death or killing is using long range blades. Doesn’t feel fitting.
If it counts, probably Bed since it was just a robot in Xrd.
If not, probably either I-no’s guitar, Axl’s sickles or Asuka’s book just because they’re all so cool
I mentioned this in another post, but the Bed deserves style points. Its design actually makes me feel uncomfortable and uneasy. It's kind of like how seeing the maw of a whirling machine or woodchipper would make you uneasy.
I like bridget's yoyos quite a lot (because i'm a very big fan of yoyos myself). They can float, serve as a way to move around and they look cool.
My favorite weapon is testament's scythe tho, it just looks very cool and very powerful
I think lore wise it’s Happy Chaos’s guns. Supposedly it’s a gun made by an all powerful entity and it has unmatched power that can kill/hurt any being. Only 5 were made in the entire universe and he has one of them. But you might be thinking, you’ve stated that only one of his guns is this super weapon but doesn’t he have two of them. Well here’s the thing about the other one… it’s a fake
Probably Goldlewis’s coffin. It’s great on its own, but seeing the concept art where it was at one point a missile, and learning that the design got *more* unhinged instead of less makes me love it.
Special mention to Zappa and Slayer even though they don’t really use weapons. I just like that with Zappa they found a way to make spectral possession into a move set. And Slayer’s just cool for being like “I’ll fight these swords with my fists because I’m bored.”
Worst? Maybe Chipp’s arm blade (which I just learned is apparently called the gauntlet blade) just because I often forget he has it.
Coolest weapon? Gold swinging around a coffin containing an actual alien that he denies exists
Least cool weapon? Ky’s normal sword (idgaf about the lore here it’s a blue sword)
Honorary mention to i-no fighting with a guitar
Bridget's yoyos are hella cool imo due to the concept of magical yoyos just rather neat. I find it a lot more interesting than a basic sword or anchor.
I still gotta go with I-no for favorite though, love a woman who hits people with a guitar
Thunderbrand? What is this, Fire Emblem? /jk
Jokes aside…
Top Favorite: Sol’s Junkyard Dog Mk.III
Least Favorite: Chipp’s arm blade (sorry, Mr. President…)
Obviously a bit biased, but the giant Blood Scythe is so fucking rad.
Goldie’s coffin is way too cool not to mention and I-No beating people with a guitar is cool as fuck too.
I think Bridget is the weakest character in guilty gear lore if I'm not mistaken. Might have something to do with the fact that she uses yoyos as a weapon.
I would say that would go to Zappa. At least Bridget can defend herself and shown to be crafty enough to take advantage of other’s weaknesses. Zappa is just a victim.
Hard to say because her storymodes are in dubiously canon games. In the GGXX storypaths that are probably canon to her story, the people she fights against are taken by surprise and simply do not want to fight her (Ky and Dizzy).
In the games that are 100% canon (Vastage and Strive) it’s been established that the characters she does fight hold back against opponents in duels (Sol and Ky respectively).
Every Weapon is so cool it is hard to pick a favorite but my least is May's anchor it's just an anchor with nothing special about it. The only thing interesting is small girl with big weapons that is all.
Honestly my fav doesn't come from strive cuz it's elphelt's guns. For some reason i love angular and stocky gun designs and it hits just right for me, plus they're better than chaos' cuz they're pink
My least fav would also have to be from Xrd and it's raven's fucking finger spikes. Just... why
But if we're only limiting ourselves to strive, then I guess fav would be Nago's sword because of the "buckle" it has to fully attach to the scabbard (and 2nd fav HAS to go to testament's scythe), and least fav I'd have to say leo's... whatever those are
Favorite goes to Faust's giant scalpel because tiny scalpels hurt enough, now imagine a giant one just grazing your skin. Let alone stabbing you.
Least favorite I don't know Bridget's yoyos, those are pretty lame. They're toys
Faust is both my favorite and least favorite, it’s kind of a dumb oversized medical tool but the way Faust uses it oozes personality, using it as a Pogo stick, fishing rod, spinning around on it etc. the fact that a lot of his moves make it feel heavy gives it a lot of character it otherwise wouldn’t have if he just used it like a spear.
Favourite is probably Leo's dual cross blades. Those are pretty sick
Least favourite is probably Anjis sensu's because that's literally all they are. At least Kitana from MK has blades at the end of her sensu's
Bridget's yo-yo literally is a revolver drum. There are bullets inside it with text stating they're bullets MADE for yo-yos. And that just. Never gets touched on, in her moveset or otherwise
My favorite weapon is probably the tome of origin, especially the form it takes as Asuka's staves, where the hands used to hold weapons or make strikes in his normals wrap around eachother to form circles and grasp a simple pole.
Don't think I can point out any as my definitive least favorite, though not a fan of Venom's pool cue, and really wish Leo used his metal magic more on his swords and that Ram ever unsheathed her swords
The ThunderSeal and Outrage Mk.II are some of my favorites but I think Sin’s flag is gonna take it for me. The story behind why he uses it is funny and it makes him instantly stand out from the rest of the cast as well as facilitating his one of a kind play style.
I love Chipps arm blade and I think arm blades in general are sick as hell. Chipp in particular is cool though because he actually fights with it like it's an Impractical arm blade unlike Strider who wields his like a short sword which is kinda cheating if you ask me. Still love Strider though
Guilty Gear weapon design really is underrated now that you mention it. They made potemkins gauntlet that shoots explosive s just as cool as a man wielding a pool stick 😂
My favorite has to be Raven, the claws just match his un-sane attitude 100/100
Honestly my favorite might be sin's flag in strive, it fits his character so perfectly. The flow it adds to his animations, the idea that he is specifically using it to be flashy, the fact that it is literally just a flag and sin is basically hitting you with a less effective stick. It's perfect for him.
If I had to pick a least favorite it would be baiken's sword I guess? It's the least interesting part of her arsenal but also she couldn't really have any other weapon.
Favorites:
\- A.B.A's sentient key-axe (Paracelsus/Flament Nagel)
\- Goldlewis's coffin (and the alien buddy inside)
\- Faust's scalpel
\- Kliff's Dragonslayer
They're all some flavor of goofy lmao. Para and the coffin also have personalities of their own, which is a plus. Various spins on the concentrated essence of **BONK™**
**Not a huge fan (I don't really "dislike" or "hate" any of them):**
\- Ram's swords
\- HC's Crescent Moon (Gun\[s\])
A bit... *much* for my taste. And blocky.
I started serious... And got silly... Sorry.
Iconic:
Thunderseal/Fireseal
Your immune system manifesting as reflections of your mother and father.
Great:
Testament's scythe
Nagoriyuko's Katana
Baiken's Multiple Weapons
Jack-o's own children
Goldlewis's basically wielding american tendancy for obsession with conspiracies as a weapon.

Good:
Bridget's Yoyo
May's Anchor
Emphelt's Guns
Ramlethal's Swords
Junkyard Dog
Kliff's Dragonslayer
Asuka's Staff
S-ko using the body of some boy she found.
Shadows have rights too.
Neutral:
Chipp's armblade
Valentine's Balloon
Faust's scalpel
Tangled 2: This time she wants blood.
Eh:
Johnny's Katana
Aba's Key
Favourites gotta be the goldlewis coffin and elphelt guns
Least favourite is problably kliff's dragonslayer or leos swords, the fact they look like crosses is cool but thats about all they got going for them
Jack-O's walking around with a leg iron attached to her ankle like an escaped inmate and hitting people in the head with it whenever she kicks, not just any leg iron, but it's also a robot head designed like a jack-o-lantern that can swallow entire people whole. Can't say I've seen anything like it anywhere else
Favorite weapon is probably Junkyard Dog. The lighter design is super fucking cool and shows a side of Sol that, to me, is really interesting. Plus any weapon that loads “cartridges” into it automatically gets extra points from me. Least favorite would probably be Kliff’s oversized butter knife. Doesn’t exude any personality or give an insight into his character. It exists as a novelty for novelty’s sake. And in a series where people are using giant anchors, blade-size changing scythes, coffins with aliens in them, shadow monsters, and your literal hair, Kliff’s weapon is kind of just there.
Kliff's sword is reminiscent of his character, the fact that it's old fashioned is because *he's* old fashioned (and just old). A novelty sword for a novelty man. Also, that blade was used to kill a dragon. If I killed a dragon, I'd keep that thing on me just to flex.
Weapons that you load cartridges in like that are so fuckin cool I really love gunblades like Squall's/what Gunbreakers use, the ones that use the cartridge to make the blade cut better shits so fuckin badass and i want one so damn badly
Or Potemkin's Gungloves. He reloads them in his victory animation back in GGX
My favorites are Ram’s swords. They’re basically dual giant gunblades, and I think that is SUPER sick. Honorable mentions go to Millia’s hair and Goldlewis’s sarcophagus on a chain with an alien inside. I mean, what’s not to like about that? Least favorite? Uhhh probably Happy Chaos’s gun. Afaik it’s just a regular gun. Nothing particularly cool about its design and I dislike being zoned by it from fullscreen.
HCs guns are pretty interesting design wise, as far as guns are concerned.
I actually just took a closer look at crescent moon on google images lol. I don’t disagree with you, it is an interesting design for a gun. It’s really hard to notice any of its details in the context of playing the game unfortunately.
SIX BLACK HEAVENS GUNS
Oh wait, I just realized that song is about HC's gun(s)
I dunno if it's specifically about his gun and the others in all dimensions, but i think it actually is.
I think the one HC has is just a replica of one of those six correct me if im wrong tho
He has two guns, one is the real one, the other is a replica. He only uses the replica to shoot.
Except for **DEUS EX MACHINA**
Ah shit right I forgot Deus Ex Machina exists and he actually has two guns. So one replica, one of the six guns and the other 5 are scattered through the dimensions.
I love big chunky revolvers
Chunky revolvers are something i fucking LIVE FOR If i could i would have a hand cannon from the destiny games
Revolvers that have semi-realistic looking handles and barrels but the rest of them are practically fucking rectangular go so hard. Shoutout to Ultrakill and Billy thé Kid from ZZZ
reminds me of vash's gun.
I wanted to. Play Ram when I played guilty gear for the first time. I think her design is very stylish and imposing. The swords are pretty unique despite the fact that they make me have a stroke in the corner. They remind me of crossbow/throwing weapon mechanics from other games. You know, you have to pick up the weapon that does a lot of damage before using it again?
"For his neutral special, he wields a gun"
Funnily enough, that's why I like HC's weapon: it's literally *just a gun*. Granted, some magic properties, but it's still just a bog-standard gun.

Happy chaos don’t even got a Glock. 0/10
While the gun itself is meh, I think the thing he does in story mode where he uses magic to make bullets out of the same material/magic/whatever as Nago's regeneration preventing sword is cool as hell
mhm mhm yup regular gun that only a few of exist in the entire multiverse and he has one and *doesn't use it,* opting to use a replica that i'm convinced doesn't actually shoot bullets and he's using magic to *pretend* to
I’m the complete opposite. I think it’s cool and hilarious that there’s gigantic gun blades, two ton M60s, (a fucking magic yo-yo, seriously?) a fox spirit, giant scythes but happy chaos just pulls out the future equivalent of a magnum.
I'm still a personal fan of Order Sols weapon of choice since its just a god damn slab of concrete he picked up and found. However I actually hate Kliffs sword, since it looks like a oversized chef's knife and I just can't like it.
So pretty much Cloud's Buster Sword?
Yeah, its just a worse buster sword due to how fucking huge the blade is compared to the handle.
I want a Guilty Gear anime or something (if that exists please tell me) or at least a clip of Sol going "Behold, my stuff"
Thé mechanical detailing on Ram’s swords are awesome, especially the way they mimick the shape language of katanas, The detail on Nagoriyuki’s sword handle and the way it locks into the sheath is also sick. I think Bridget’s yo-yo is seriously underrated, it looks really cool to me and the technical chunkiness contrasts nicely with the softness of the rest of Bridget’s design. I also love her animations with it- the hits of the Yo-yo lack impact, but it’s meant to be a light weapon, and her athletic dance performance with it is really expressive and fun to look at imo.
I love when Bridget walks in Strive its like she's walking a pet. Also, the fact that she can drive on that yoyo is sick.
Yuss
The walking yo-yo thing is actually a real yo-yo trick called "walk the dog"! So are some of her other moves like Loop-the-Loop, Stop and Dash, Kickstart my Heart, and etc! Without Roger and looking completely different*
My favorite is either A.B.A's key or Goldlewis's coffin.

There just boring weapons, but there's nothing wrong with them. I like every guilty gear weapon to some extent
I was thinking Baiken’s sword is very generic too, but she does also have the mechanical arm going for her
Baiken has a massive ensemble of weapons. A chain, a flintlock, a katana, a flail, etc. I think her diversity puts her above a lot of the cast. It kind of reminds me of D&D fighters.
Hsien-Ko energy
The coffin is so badass. Plus aliens. The literal area 51
I actually kind of like Johnny's sword. It's completely a flashy weapon and is kind of impractical. It appears to be made to be a conceal carry blade. It feels like a mall ninja weapon, which gives Johnny that overly bombastic attitude he has. He could settle for a weapon that's more functional, but no- he *has* to look cool.
Ummm...Johnny's sword was a real historical thing lmao
As someone with a passing interest in firearms Happy Chaos' guns **infuriate** me /hj. Legit like at least half of it is just useless metal weighing it down, the firing mechanism has to be a nightmare, and the cylinder is put so far up the gun that the barrel length is only like half an inch lol. Before anyone mentions magic, I know I just don't care, overanalyzing things is fun. in terms of favorite I would have to say Milia's hair.
gunbros when the character whose sole life purpose is pissing about and having fun has a gun that's intentionally showoff-ey and impractical
It's worse, only one of them was made by Chaos. The other, which the second was based on, is an artifact and still looks dumb.
tfw the magical gun from the borderlands dimension that manifests pentagrams and summoning circles doesn't look like a cop revolver from 1954 why are gun people like this
oh shit I never even looked, bro got the reverse bullpup, that bullet must have no velocity, or it tumbling lol
Considering HC gimps himself on purpose to draw out more entertainment, it seems on brand for him to use a gun that's also unwieldly to make it more "challenging" for him.
Is this just gonna be a gag where you always find some way to shit on bridget 😭
can we have shit on bridget saturdays 🙏
no, you will not shit on the little one. she is under my protection. NOW JUMP BEFORE ME.
I mean other than being actually good trans representation shes pretty uninteresting for a guilty gear character
She all about making them racks she’s got no time for character arcs
Oh I agree she's not interesting at all, but every post this dude has made has been shitting on bridget
Saying I don't like bridget's design isn't shitting on her 😔
>Bridg mr redditor mr redditor can the next post be about something completely random like "what guilty gear foods look the most tasty" and then just finish with something about how bridget is the worst lmao
oh wait damn it's just been the same guy for all these posts I was wondering why the consistency of these random posts lmao
Yeah, makes me never want to praticipate in discussion of my char in most spaces. Like, yeah, I get it, y'all hate her. Guess I'll have to just enjoy the character on my own.
No one hates her she's just kinda boring compared to the rest of the cast (mainly cause she doesn't get a chance to have much character development due to being irrelevant to the story)
Don't take it so personal my brother
Yo-yo slander smh Btw it's the Thunder*seal*
I'm sorry I forgor
i personally love potemkin since his wrist gun things are badass
GYORDAI IMPACTO

KABARI *fshing* KABARI
I like bridget's yoyos quite a lot (because i'm a very big fan of yoyos myself). They can float, serve as a way to move around and they look cool. My favorite weapon is testament's scythe tho, it just looks very cool and very powerful
There's something about the most anti-death character in Guilty Gear using sickles that makes me happy
I think lore wise it’s Happy Chaos’s guns. Supposedly it’s a gun made by an all powerful entity and it has unmatched power that can kill/hurt any being. Only 5 were made in the entire universe and he has one of them. But you might be thinking, you’ve stated that only one of his guns is this super weapon but doesn’t he have two of them. Well here’s the thing about the other one… it’s a fake
Thank you for clarifying, Rad Chad.
Probably Goldlewis’s coffin. It’s great on its own, but seeing the concept art where it was at one point a missile, and learning that the design got *more* unhinged instead of less makes me love it. Special mention to Zappa and Slayer even though they don’t really use weapons. I just like that with Zappa they found a way to make spectral possession into a move set. And Slayer’s just cool for being like “I’ll fight these swords with my fists because I’m bored.” Worst? Maybe Chipp’s arm blade (which I just learned is apparently called the gauntlet blade) just because I often forget he has it.
Coolest weapon? Gold swinging around a coffin containing an actual alien that he denies exists Least cool weapon? Ky’s normal sword (idgaf about the lore here it’s a blue sword) Honorary mention to i-no fighting with a guitar
Best are prob ram swords and all of sols weapons, worst is probably chipp
The Bridget hater strikes again
A man of the people
I love all the wacky stuff Millia’s hair and Eddie doo, such silly animations that look good
Baiken's arm cannon is why I play the character. I don't think that it's the best weapon design but it deserves a mention.
I like asuka's gravity staffs. They look cool juar wish they lasted longer
I like how clean Nago’s swords are
bed counts as a weapon right. im going with bed
Bridget's yoyos are hella cool imo due to the concept of magical yoyos just rather neat. I find it a lot more interesting than a basic sword or anchor. I still gotta go with I-no for favorite though, love a woman who hits people with a guitar
day like 10 of this guy posting bridget hate
I’m a big fan of Ram’s thighs… I mean swords. Ram’s swords
If she kicks, the thighs are considered weapons too
You make a very solid point
Thunderbrand? What is this, Fire Emblem? /jk Jokes aside… Top Favorite: Sol’s Junkyard Dog Mk.III Least Favorite: Chipp’s arm blade (sorry, Mr. President…)
Sol's outrage mk.2 is one of my favorite swords period
A destroyed and malfunctioning mechanical bed that's "fighting heedless of its own destruction" is pretty fucking metal to me
A gun.
Does Kum count as a weapon?
Obviously a bit biased, but the giant Blood Scythe is so fucking rad. Goldie’s coffin is way too cool not to mention and I-No beating people with a guitar is cool as fuck too.
Scythes are generally terrible irl as weapons, but like....Bridget has a fucking yoyo, bro. A yoyo.
I think Bridget is the weakest character in guilty gear lore if I'm not mistaken. Might have something to do with the fact that she uses yoyos as a weapon.
I would say that would go to Zappa. At least Bridget can defend herself and shown to be crafty enough to take advantage of other’s weaknesses. Zappa is just a victim.
Gosh we get it, you get hard constantly posting shit on Bridget. Just please for God's sake just calm down a moment on it.
I dedicate like 3 or 4 lines of text for Bridget. The rest is talking about what I like.
She’s not weak, it’s just hard to keep up with Gears, guys armed with the US military industrial complex, magic users, ki, and Potemkin.
Baiken has a sword
She also has a gun, a grappling hook, a tatami mat, and a burning desire for revenge (until another story)
didn't she at separate points canonically hold up against a duel with sol, ky, and johnny?
Hard to say because her storymodes are in dubiously canon games. In the GGXX storypaths that are probably canon to her story, the people she fights against are taken by surprise and simply do not want to fight her (Ky and Dizzy). In the games that are 100% canon (Vastage and Strive) it’s been established that the characters she does fight hold back against opponents in duels (Sol and Ky respectively).
Nope
The favorite? Definitely Junkyard Dog. The worst? Definitely Bridget's yoyos
Every Weapon is so cool it is hard to pick a favorite but my least is May's anchor it's just an anchor with nothing special about it. The only thing interesting is small girl with big weapons that is all.
Honestly my fav doesn't come from strive cuz it's elphelt's guns. For some reason i love angular and stocky gun designs and it hits just right for me, plus they're better than chaos' cuz they're pink My least fav would also have to be from Xrd and it's raven's fucking finger spikes. Just... why But if we're only limiting ourselves to strive, then I guess fav would be Nago's sword because of the "buckle" it has to fully attach to the scabbard (and 2nd fav HAS to go to testament's scythe), and least fav I'd have to say leo's... whatever those are
Favorite goes to Faust's giant scalpel because tiny scalpels hurt enough, now imagine a giant one just grazing your skin. Let alone stabbing you. Least favorite I don't know Bridget's yoyos, those are pretty lame. They're toys
Faust is both my favorite and least favorite, it’s kind of a dumb oversized medical tool but the way Faust uses it oozes personality, using it as a Pogo stick, fishing rod, spinning around on it etc. the fact that a lot of his moves make it feel heavy gives it a lot of character it otherwise wouldn’t have if he just used it like a spear.
He gives me Yoshimitsu vibes, and that's neat
Well technically yoyos didnt start as toys they're based off a hunting tool used in some areas
Favourite is probably Leo's dual cross blades. Those are pretty sick Least favourite is probably Anjis sensu's because that's literally all they are. At least Kitana from MK has blades at the end of her sensu's
Honestly? Faust. IDK if that’s a hot take or not but I liked his older suits more than what he has right now
Sir we are talking about weapons
…so I might have missed the “weapons” part in the title cuz I’m kinda dumb
Best AND worst is the concrete slab of a weapon Order Sol uses. It’s just some big ass man made rock he slams people over the head with
Asuka’s staff
Bridget's yo-yo literally is a revolver drum. There are bullets inside it with text stating they're bullets MADE for yo-yos. And that just. Never gets touched on, in her moveset or otherwise My favorite weapon is probably the tome of origin, especially the form it takes as Asuka's staves, where the hands used to hold weapons or make strikes in his normals wrap around eachother to form circles and grasp a simple pole. Don't think I can point out any as my definitive least favorite, though not a fan of Venom's pool cue, and really wish Leo used his metal magic more on his swords and that Ram ever unsheathed her swords
Nobody mentioned Holy Order Sol's cool **rock** that he carries around?
Leo's sword thing, Bridget's yo-yo, Ram swords, Baiken's Tatami
Coffin
The ThunderSeal and Outrage Mk.II are some of my favorites but I think Sin’s flag is gonna take it for me. The story behind why he uses it is funny and it makes him instantly stand out from the rest of the cast as well as facilitating his one of a kind play style.
I love Chipps arm blade and I think arm blades in general are sick as hell. Chipp in particular is cool though because he actually fights with it like it's an Impractical arm blade unlike Strider who wields his like a short sword which is kinda cheating if you ask me. Still love Strider though
Guilty Gear weapon design really is underrated now that you mention it. They made potemkins gauntlet that shoots explosive s just as cool as a man wielding a pool stick 😂 My favorite has to be Raven, the claws just match his un-sane attitude 100/100
Honestly my favorite might be sin's flag in strive, it fits his character so perfectly. The flow it adds to his animations, the idea that he is specifically using it to be flashy, the fact that it is literally just a flag and sin is basically hitting you with a less effective stick. It's perfect for him. If I had to pick a least favorite it would be baiken's sword I guess? It's the least interesting part of her arsenal but also she couldn't really have any other weapon.
Favorites: \- A.B.A's sentient key-axe (Paracelsus/Flament Nagel) \- Goldlewis's coffin (and the alien buddy inside) \- Faust's scalpel \- Kliff's Dragonslayer They're all some flavor of goofy lmao. Para and the coffin also have personalities of their own, which is a plus. Various spins on the concentrated essence of **BONK™** **Not a huge fan (I don't really "dislike" or "hate" any of them):** \- Ram's swords \- HC's Crescent Moon (Gun\[s\]) A bit... *much* for my taste. And blocky.
Easy peasy, Faust spear thats actually a fishingrod thats actually a golfclub. You can Close the thread now.
Insulting the buster and master sword is something i absolutely cannot get behind.
Weep.
I started serious... And got silly... Sorry. Iconic: Thunderseal/Fireseal Your immune system manifesting as reflections of your mother and father. Great: Testament's scythe Nagoriyuko's Katana Baiken's Multiple Weapons Jack-o's own children Goldlewis's basically wielding american tendancy for obsession with conspiracies as a weapon. Happy Chaos's Guns Good: Bridget's Yoyo May's Anchor Emphelt's Guns Ramlethal's Swords Junkyard Dog Kliff's Dragonslayer Asuka's Staff S-ko using the body of some boy she found. Shadows have rights too. Neutral: Chipp's armblade Valentine's Balloon Faust's scalpel Tangled 2: This time she wants blood. Eh: Johnny's Katana Aba's Key
Favourites gotta be the goldlewis coffin and elphelt guns Least favourite is problably kliff's dragonslayer or leos swords, the fact they look like crosses is cool but thats about all they got going for them
Jack-O's walking around with a leg iron attached to her ankle like an escaped inmate and hitting people in the head with it whenever she kicks, not just any leg iron, but it's also a robot head designed like a jack-o-lantern that can swallow entire people whole. Can't say I've seen anything like it anywhere else
