Best Guilty Gear game?

[RetroHello]

I have no knowlege of the past present, or fututure huilty gears games, but I have always wanted to play it because I love fighting games. However, Which one is the best one? Maybe in terms of mechanics or character roster, but which one would you say is the best to start off with?

Many thanks.

Well this one wins in graphics, online play, and by being widescreen. Best cast is probably AC+R, but this game has a few unique additions. As far as mechanics go, I do not like danger time in Xrd, and some people don't like the roman cancel system in this game because it messes with the pace, though I don't mind that.

This is the only entry that is still relevant, since they are still releasing new versions, and it has the most players.

Alright, thanks man, i'll probably give it some more thought later about whether to buy this game or not, but your comment really helped.

There's two series of guilty gear.

The X2 series, which ended with GG X2 accent core plus HD R red reload gold remix turbo alpha ultimate final cut pro championship edition VS NEO.

Then there's Xrd, which is this game and the upcoming revelator.

While seemingly identical, except for the graphics, they're not. There's a lot of differences, but both are solid. I keep getting very upset with the little things, but that's me.

For me this has been the best GG I've played (I've played XX, XXAC+ y XXAC+R). It gives a lot of freedom with the new Roman Cancel system (mostly YRC), combos aren't too big and execution is way lower than in past GGs.

I didnt play much GG before, but for me Xrd is awesome and is simply the best Fg at the moment. Enjoy it too : )

AC+R is considered the pinnacle of the series for balance and roster, Xrd Sign and Midnight Carnival are probably tied for second.

The biggest backlash against Sign on release was, if I recall correctly, the Danger Time system and that Roman Cancels were more forgiving both in execution and in linking them into new combos. Now I think the only real gripe is that combos are much easier to execute overall compared to AC+R, which is either a positive or a negative change depending on your perspective.

I would say Xrd is the best to start with since it has a proper tutorial to teach new players how to play. I on the other hand, started with GG Isuka. Never do this, it is a terrible idea.

Not to start with. I had no idea what anything did, and there was no explanation that there was a button to manually turn from side to side. I never said it wasnt fun, just that it was a bad starting point.
