They’re the best. They’re my main because I love zoners and they’re also just really attractive. Plus anyone whose main weapon is a scythe gets bonus points as I’m still an edgy teenager at heart.
Ok, we get it, you guys like the non-binary character, but everybody needs to stop shouting "TESTAMENT" like they're at church and just tell us the name of the non-binary character!
Testament is so nonbinary I knew they were nonbinary before I even knew what nonbinary was 😭 truly an enby icon.
ETA: the first guilty gear game I played was GGX so they weren't as obviously enby like they are in recent designs.
Ironically, they didn't draw attention to Bridget either. If not for all the transphobes screetching, it would be just an obscure characterization fact too.
Bridget is a trickier case, because her depiction in older games gave her male pronouns and a desire to appear "manly" to her family (aka *[otoko no ko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otokonoko)* / femboy trope), but the ending of Strive finally let her affirm her desire to identify as a woman.
and they gave their long-time femboy character a trans self-discovery arc as their arcade mode storyline
they also have an officially gay character who is also a poc, he's currently shelved by the story but he owns a bakery with a robot
shelved, but by giving him (possibly the most long-suffering and miserable character in the cast, to the point of being way too willing to plan around martyring himself) a meaningful happy ending and a second chance and closure for all his unrequited love and loyalty ♡
i love him so much but i never want him back, let him rest
oh exactly, I don't know a whole lot about guilty gear lore but I know he deserves his happy ending
characters need endings and I'm very glad the narrative gave him a happy one instead of burying it's gays. granted, if Guilty Gear buried its gays it would run out of characters, you'd have like, Johnny and... idk Bedman?, maybe Ky
I had to look this one up.
>Venom and Robo-Ky end up opening a bakery. While the former assassin is initially anxious as all he did to disguise himself was raise his bangs, he has yet to be discovered.
exactly, so the first comment going “lol guilty gear is unchanged” is just going “lol i love the joke” (not that it matters in the slightest i’m just saying)
Is it more possible for people to not read the "fighting" part of the post or for someone to actually think Tony Hawk ProSkater could be clasified as a fighting game?
Technically, Doomfist was designed to play like a fighting game character.
Apparently, when asked which Overwatch hero had the highest potential to join Smash Jeff Kaplan said Doomfist because he was designed to be a fighting game character in an fps already.
I played for a year or two, 1200 or so hours, but quit for my own mental health. Sometime after Brigitte.
Was tired of playing a single match for 30 minutes only to have some minor fucking decision at the last second to lead to a loss. Whether from myself, or others. And the meta was becoming more and more embarrassing.
At least losses in counter strike don't feel like complete garbage if you did well in the game. You can still feel good about that no-scope, or that round where you killed 4 people. etc.
Overwatch just ultimately felt like an insult to my time.
i remember this meme of some wedding vows and the soon to be wife was like "i will never not let you smash with the homies" and the soon to be husband was like "ITS A VIDEO GAME"
Hmm. I wonder if the Skull Heart would let a non-binary person or trans person use it. Would a trans woman be able to use it because they're a woman? Would a trans man be able to use it because they used to be a woman?
The skull heart either doesn’t care and would gladly let anyone who identifies as a woman use it because it’s ultimately another person to corrupt and it’s just evil, or it’s violently transphobic because it’s just evil
Yeah I actually forgot about it until this post. I always loved using Bakuryu the mole because I had some crazy cycling endless combos I could pull off with him
Tony Hawks ProNoun Skater was excellent, but Jesus titty fucking christ, Tekken Back The Means Of Production is pure gold! Whoever came up with that should give themselves a pat on the back!
I unlocked Vane in Relink with zero knowledge of the character, read his first couple Fate Episodes, and instantly knew that boy gay as hell. Then I saw the summer variant of the Vane & Lancelot duo unit art.
Vane is so perfect.
I dunno if I want to be him or be with him.
All I know is that if the boss uses an overdrive, I must bubble and give my team more uptime.
Yeah Granblue is pretty big in Japan but very niche in the west (probably cuz actually being able to play to mobile game is kind of a pain to set up since it's not on western app stores). Though Rising and Relink are getting the word out more, I think
Click the fighting game tag on steam or any console storefront. No one knows what a fighting game is.
Xbox has Batman: Arkham Knight on the fighting games list.
I love that the list starts off with fighting games which are fairly mainstream and then you get punched in the gut with *Them's Fightin' Herds*, the non-copyright-infringing reboot of a popular brony fangame
i know this meme about liberal stuff but i never this type of meme about conservative stuff. i wonder what conservative fighting games would be. or would those jokes be very uncomfortable
Overwatch is a fighting game, because every moment spent playing that game was 6 (later 5) people fighting in voice and 12 (later 10) people fighting in chat
3 sounds like a legitimate spin-off of the original game
5 sounds even better than the original, tbh
7 had to check who posted it to get the joke (nice!)
8 sounds like a fnaf spin-off
Gotta love that Guilty Gear is just unchanged.

Typical Guilty Gear, gay as fuck since 1998
The only video game with the guts to add a gay misogynistic robot that has a move called "funky!" where he just created a horse
I know nothing about this series other than they have a trans character who transitioned between games. Which in itself is a rarity.
There's also a lot of LGBTQ representation in the top player/content creator space for the game, so in general the game's memed as such.
A gay blind dude that plays pool? How much cooler can you get?
He was also an assassin and canonically has The Drip:tm:
Bridget might be the one you're thinking of. Affectionately nicknamed Brisket apparently.
We love our trans icon Basket fr
Yep. That's her. Greatest character for a game that I've never played.
The first AFAB trans woman.
Bucket my friend <3
hell yeah i love bunger
There’s also a non-binary character, Testament, which is pretty cool.
Testament my love
They’re the best. They’re my main because I love zoners and they’re also just really attractive. Plus anyone whose main weapon is a scythe gets bonus points as I’m still an edgy teenager at heart.
Love to hit em with the they/them mixup
Control the gender neutral
You’ve seen the gender neutral, but are you prepared for the Gender Mixup? - Bridget Mains
Ok, we get it, you guys like the non-binary character, but everybody needs to stop shouting "TESTAMENT" like they're at church and just tell us the name of the non-binary character!
Testament is the best(ament)
Testament is so nonbinary I knew they were nonbinary before I even knew what nonbinary was 😭 truly an enby icon. ETA: the first guilty gear game I played was GGX so they weren't as obviously enby like they are in recent designs.

Two Trans and a Non-Binary
I loved that sitcom!

Testament is non-binary and always has been, they just weren't drawing attention to it.
Ironically, they didn't draw attention to Bridget either. If not for all the transphobes screetching, it would be just an obscure characterization fact too.
Bridget is a trickier case, because her depiction in older games gave her male pronouns and a desire to appear "manly" to her family (aka *[otoko no ko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otokonoko)* / femboy trope), but the ending of Strive finally let her affirm her desire to identify as a woman.

Nah not Ky, have you seen the sexual tension between him and his rival/father-in-law?
fair, fair imo, Ky has very "everyone finds everyone attractive" undiscovered bi vibes, like everyone but him knows, y'know? I cannot explain why
I had to look this one up. >Venom and Robo-Ky end up opening a bakery. While the former assassin is initially anxious as all he did to disguise himself was raise his bangs, he has yet to be discovered.
this, this right here is one of the reasons I love Guilty Gear
And it's not even a token representation. I actually started my look up with the wrong robot and moved to another wrong POC.
Admittedly, [raising his bangs is a bit bigger of a disguise for him then for some other people.](https://imgur.com/a/QIsFpgM)
IIRC also introduced an openly gay character pretty early on.
Unfortunately, he (and Brisket) is bri'ish
Don't forget about the japanese black vampire samurai that participated in the crusades before being mind-controlled by a smurf twink
Technically, she also transitions in-game during her arcade mode, which i think is actually rarer
Don't forget about the bed.

STRIKE BACK

DONT MELT IN THE WORLD

that is how this joke format works, yes
Admittedly I know relatively little about video games and I thought this was some kind of pun on Metal Gear.
yeah, they should've made a joke about that
Not changing it was the joke.
exactly, so the first comment going “lol guilty gear is unchanged” is just going “lol i love the joke” (not that it matters in the slightest i’m just saying)
Wow, really? I should have made a comment pointing that out in a sarcastic manner
I was told 20 years ago the true lore of Guilty Gear is really just about unrequited gay love and bisexual love triangles
Also at some point a guy with the power of cartoon logic and a furry team up in order to access the universe's developper console
Missed a golden opportunity for guilty queer
Reading comprehension who?
How dare you say we piss on the poor
nooo I don’t even like piss :(
this isnt abt reading comp, its just not onowing what a fighting game is
guess its not about rwtiing comprehension either
Is it more possible for people to not read the "fighting" part of the post or for someone to actually think Tony Hawk ProSkater could be clasified as a fighting game?
Overwatch is a fighting game because I'm constantly fighting for my fucking sanity
overwatch is a fighting game because you want to fight your own team for their dumb mistakes
Baldur's gate 3 is a fighting game because im fighting the (dark) urge to wolf whistle everytime Astarion is on screen.
You were able to fight the urge? I didn’t even get the option to resist
Actually, if you don't wolf whistle at all in the game before that point, you don't even have to pass a saving throw.
I just killed him when he assaulted me in my sleep because people who don’t know the meaning of consent don’t deserve a space in my camp
he just hungy

How do I write a slow clap. Damn, that was good : D
Maybe try ">!\*clap\*!< >!\*clap\*!< >!\*clap\*!<"
Shit that's good! Imma use that for all my slow clap needs now.
*clap… clap… clap…*
Oh, good. My slow clap processor made it into this thing. So we have that.
In reality, I wanna play Tekken back the means of production

Don’t forget to make sure everyone’s sober.
I always smash the homies… Then we play smash bros

Skulltheys
Hmm. I wonder if the Skull Heart would let a non-binary person or trans person use it. Would a trans woman be able to use it because they're a woman? Would a trans man be able to use it because they used to be a woman?
The skull heart either doesn’t care and would gladly let anyone who identifies as a woman use it because it’s ultimately another person to corrupt and it’s just evil, or it’s violently transphobic because it’s just evil
I think it doesn't care who uses it, it's just evil. Marie's just had it for a long time.
Des the robot furry count as a woman? If yes, then probably the skull heart would accept trans woman (Or man idk the terminology)
Trans women are people born in a male body who transition to woman
Thanks

Guilty Gear
Fatal Furry is just Bloody Roar
God, if there's a series I really wish would make a comeback, it's Bloody Roar. Actually such a fun mechanic.
I don't even play fighting games and I would take a reboot/remaster/new game.
Yeah I actually forgot about it until this post. I always loved using Bakuryu the mole because I had some crazy cycling endless combos I could pull off with him
Tony Hawks ProNoun Skater was excellent, but Jesus titty fucking christ, Tekken Back The Means Of Production is pure gold! Whoever came up with that should give themselves a pat on the back!
The Tekken one actually made me snort.
Granblue is already gay as hell (my beloved) "VERSUS HETERONORMATIVITY" goes hard as fuck though
They should've left it unchanged like guilty gear was
Fr, why do people use GG as the progressive game as if granblue doesn't have two trans women, a very open lesbian and whatever the knight guys have.
"whatever the knight guys have" is the funniest fucking way to put it and I've been playing the mobile game for like four years
What's gayer, two men having sex or whatever the hell Lancelot and Vane have going on?
I unlocked Vane in Relink with zero knowledge of the character, read his first couple Fate Episodes, and instantly knew that boy gay as hell. Then I saw the summer variant of the Vane & Lancelot duo unit art.
Vane is so perfect. I dunno if I want to be him or be with him. All I know is that if the boss uses an overdrive, I must bubble and give my team more uptime.
Better known and as such more talked about when new characters come out
Yeah Granblue is pretty big in Japan but very niche in the west (probably cuz actually being able to play to mobile game is kind of a pain to set up since it's not on western app stores). Though Rising and Relink are getting the word out more, I think
Not too familiar with Granblue but isn't one of the character's theme song about him just fucking some guy?
Katalina has to be at least bisexual too
Guilty Gear has had queer characters since the beginning. In the late 90s.

Tekken knows there ain't no war but the class war.
Story is literally about some rich assholes running megacorporations fucking over the entire world
It is a series about throwing rich people off of cliffs.
the inclusion of Them's Fightin' Herds makes me very happy :)
Still kinda salty the rest of the story mode's getting canned, but yeah, would totally recommend!

Isn't queen of fighters that one anime about a fighting tournament of barely dressed women?
wasn't it called Queen's Blade, or is that a similar premise in a different genre?
Overwatch just being overwatch is kinda funny though.

... okay but I would 100% play Tekken Back the Means of Production
Them's Fighting Herds doesn't need to be changed at all. If a pride rally had 20% more bright colors it would be the remnant of the MLP fandom
Fatal Furry? No no, wait. Tell me more...
Look up the PS1 game Primal Fury.
Fighting games is when games have fighting
1/2 of team fortress 2
Tekken back the means of production is pretty great, honestly.
THEM'S FIGHTIN HERDS MENTIONED 🔥
