History Awesome / GuiltyGear

** Baiken's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxUqZw8R7eI Instant kill]] returns with awesome and bad ass visualize finishing move; Baiken delivers a [[SingleStrokeBattle Single-Stroke Slash]] which so powerful that reach until backyard, slicing the door, the stone and nearly kills the fish that pops up on the pond.

* Sol pulling an [[spoiler: EnemyMine with ''That Man'', of all people, to channel enough raw power from The Backyard to shatter The Cradle's otherwise unbreakable shield]].
** [[spoiler: How exactly they do so is incredible. Sol punches the shield, generating a huge amount of energy, and That Man ''manipulates physics so hard he condenses the energy into a singularity.'']]
* Ky standing up and killing [[spoiler: Axus after the latter riddled him with bullets. It also reveals that one of Ky's eyes can turn red, the mark of a Gear.]]

** Leo eventually figures it out too: [[spoiler: The further Bedman is going to teleport, the longer it takes for him to charge it up, meaning if he's warping rapidly it's likely to stay in his opponent's face.]]
* The return of Dizzy? So meltingly heartwarming. Then there's the moment [[spoiler:she unleashes her Gamma Ray to help destroy the clone Justice. The look of her eyes pretty much tells that Dizzy [[TookALevelInBadass has her powers more under control, and she's not quite the scaredy cat like she was in the past.]]]]

** In Rev 2, [[spoiler: it's shown how Ky and Dizzy properly met. He came to apparently slay her down but she calmly and politely starts speaking to him, showing a lot of maturity and thoughtfulness. And when she and Ky duel, she realizes that he's holding back... and he explains that he actually ''didn't'' come to hurt her, to show her that he ''can'' [[PersonOfMassDestruction handle her powers]]; the same ones that gave her so much sorrow.]] It's awesome and heartwarming for the two of them.
* Venom [[spoiler: and Robo-Ky's epic HeroicSacrifice to stop Bedman. Robo-Ky lowers Bedman's guard by giving him a [[WorldOfCardboardSpeech World of Cardboard]] PatrickStewartSpeech which he can't take because [[IveComeTooFar he's gone too far to stop]], allowing Robo-Ky to self-destruct and destroy Bedman's bed frame. Venom, meanwhile, poured a massive amount of his life force into his ultimate attack, Terra Machina System, knowing full well he could die from it, and the opening allows him to fire it, resulting in Bedman being gravely wounded enough to finally be awakened from his constant state of slumber.]]
* During Rev's final battle with [[spoiler:Ariels]] Sol sets the output of the Junkyard Dog to three fold and comments that he could take out a mountain with it. What's Sol do when his opponent shrugs it off? Attack again, this time set to twenty fold. Soul's reputation as a PersonOfMassDestruction is well deserved. And he STILL wasn't going all out.
* Axl [[spoiler:[[TimeStandsStill stopping time]] to allow Sol to receive the power to merge Jack-O' with Justice. And after that, Sol activates his Dragon Install.]]

* The true ending. [[spoiler: After everything is said and done, That Man challenges Sol to settle the score once and for all. No more tricks. No more runarounds. Just one climactic battle that both Sol and the fans have wanted for a long time. Sol gladly accepts on honorable terms, despite seemingly having no more ill will towards his former friend, Asuka R. Kreutz.]]

* Ramlethal's ''[[http://youtu.be/eOpJ10YEiwI?t=5m15s Animo Estingi]]'' is absolutely savage. The attack has her ruthlessly slashing at the opponent with her swords, before rising up and making her BFS ''much larger'', then slashing down on the opponent one final time.

* [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome The visual effects in the game are in a league all their own]]! The reveal trailer shows what appears to be top-notch sprite animations as Sol and Ky chat before going at it. The moments their blades clash, though, the action pauses, and the camera pans around, revealing that ''they weren't sprites at all, but '''3D models animated in a style that mirrored sprite animation!''''' As a result, the gameplay retains its frenetic 2D fighting style while allowing for seamless, dynamic camera transitions for intro animations, super attacks, instant-kills, and victory poses. Just putting it into words does little justice to how amazing it looks: one must really see it in motion to truly appreciate it!

* Sol's VA, DaisukeIshiwatari, screaming a '''[[CallingYourAttacks GUN FLAME]]''' at the Anime Expo 2009. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCfzQrImGtY See it by yourself.]]

* In ''REV 2'''s After Story, Sol wants Ky to actually get serious in one of their fights (read: actually try to kill him), and stokes Ky's anger by calling Dizzy a monster. Cue CurbstompBattle in Ky's favor who ''still'' wasn't going all out.
** In Baiken's Story Mode, it's shown that she has an informant. This mysterious guy holds info that ''almost no one else'' seems to know, including [[spoiler: Asuka, aka That Man, may not be the one that caused Baiken's DarkAndTroubledPast.]] And he ''doesn't'' tell her that, even when she threatens him several times... [[spoiler: Then it's revealed who he is. '''It's Anji'''. And he might have ''his own plans''.]] ''Awesome''.

* With the announcement of [[UpdatedRerelease Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2]], it's been confirmed that Baiken is returning as a playable character after being absent in -SIGN- and relegated to an NPC role in -REVELATOR-.

* Dizzy's return could be considered this in itself in a meta sense. After winning the character poll, there was a lengthy period of radio silence for months until she was finally revealed after the Evolution 2016 finals for the game in front of an adoring crowd. And, oh yeah, she's going to be available ''the very next day''. ''That'' line in the trailer caused one of the loudest crowd pops in Evolution history.

* Can we just give it up for the new Instant Kills in Xrd in general? Thanks to the new graphics engine and dynamic camera angles, they've managed to reach a ''mind-blowing'' new level of ''[[BadAss bad-ass.]]''

** [[http://youtu.be/eOpJ10YEiwI Sol's ''Branding Breach'']] kicks off with his new weapon; Junkyard Dog Mk.III shifting and transforming in a blatant case of TechnologyPorn, revealing the Fireseal encased inside, after which he dashes at the opponent and slams Junkyard Dog into their gut so hard that a ''gigantic stream of fire'' '''''explodes out of their back.''''' And it's topped off with one final explosion which engulfs the opponent.

** [[http://youtu.be/eOpJ10YEiwI?t=29s Ky's ''Rising Force'']] is back, but instead of a single stab, Ky gives a [[InTheNameOfTheMoon gives a badass speech]], [[SingleStrokeBattle slices through his opponent]], [[ShockAndAwe while his sword is being trailed by lightning.]] Made even better when Ky's BadassCape randomly spawns on his shoulders in the middle of the attack.

** [[http://youtu.be/eOpJ10YEiwI?t=1m20s May's ''And Farewell'']] is both awesome [[Funny/GuiltyGear and hilarious]]. She lays a smackdown on the opponent [[StreetFighter Shun-Goku-Satsu]] style, and when they wake up they find that they've been [[HumanCannonball stuffed into a cannon]]; after which they are promptly [[TwinkleInTheSky blasted into the clouds.]]
** [[http://youtu.be/eOpJ10YEiwI?t=3m39s Slayer's ''All Dead'']] makes a return; Slayer sends the opponent flying out of the universe with a single uppercut. [[CulturedBadass And tops it off by reciting]] ''[[CulturedBadass haiku]]''.
** [[http://youtu.be/eOpJ10YEiwI?t=6m16s Sin's ''Raiden'' shows that he's got plenty of power himself]]. He pins the enemy into a grab and takes off at light-speed with them (taking a moment to indulge in a little TrashTalk with his opponent) before crashing them into a couple of hills, shattering them completely, and finally engulfing them in an explosion on the horizon. Cue Sin in his win-pose, his flag flying victoriously behind him.
** [[http://youtu.be/eOpJ10YEiwI?t=5m15s Ramlethal's ''Animo Estingi'' is absolutely savage]]. The attack has her beastily charging and slashing at the opponent with her swords, before rising up and making her BFS ''much larger'' and slashing down on the opponent.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3ci5LlhTrk Raven's Instant Kill]] from -Revelator- is this. Just see it for yourselves and be amazed.

* Dizzy's new Instant Kill is both this and absolutely hilarious. Necro gets ready to fire a Gamma Ray, but Dizzy manages to veer it off course by an ''extremely'' narrow margin. The blast causes a nuclear explosion, causing the opponent to '''SURRENDER'''. Of course, depending on the opponent, they'll either be impressed or too terrified to continue.

** [[https://youtu.be/jeCJJfOhTJo Dizzy's ''Emotional Gamma Ray'' proves that, as cute as she is, she could still annihilate everything if she wanted to]]. Necro abouts to finish her opponent off with a Gamma Ray, but Dizzy stops him from killing him/her. As the Gamma Ray near missed her opponent as he/she watches the nuclear explosion.And they surrender afterwards.

* The true ending. [[spoiler: After everything is said and done, That Man challenges Sol to settle the score once and for all. No more tricks. No more runarounds.
