Learn about Guilty Gear Strive, a game that raises the bar and has a huge following. This guide is for beginning players.

Once in a while, a game comes along that deserves attention, warrants a second look, and demands respect. Knowing hardly anything about Guilty Gear Strive other than the fact that I didn't care for its predecessor, my interest grew as I began to hear of the huge following it had in Japan. Once the game was released, all of my hopes were satisfied and my appreciation has only grown as I play it. This document has been put together to help beginning players; to compile all that has been learned for myself as well as others; and to show skeptics what they are missing.

Guilty Gear Strive is the game that raises the bar.
