Most importantly Chaos Code. Its main character is a an otaku. He's even carrying a waifu pillow into battle in his alternate version.
Autism attracts more autism. Sooner or later, an internet nobody will attract the exact kind of fans - and detractors - he deserves.

There is nothing realistic about Guilty Gear. It's all >muh magic in that absolute mess of a lore.
Well, I've never played it, so...

If you've played any ArcSys game, you basically have. :lol:

Anyway, the lore is even more of a mess than the character design. But the basic premise is that magic has completely replaced and acts like technology, which in turn is outlawed.

Sounds super stereotypical? It's worse.

The basic premise is pretty much "We invented magic with the help of SCIENCE, aka by tapping into some alternate dimension we don't really understand". This is pretty much the basic template for a lot of animu fighting games that are in the future, but still have people will swords and magic running around.
BlazBlue has the exact same premise, except they throw in quantum physics into the mix and have about half the story mode dialogue involve technobabble - because the entire plot doesn't make a lick of sense unless you have a firm grasp of quantum magic. Snake Guy's entire plot hinged on Pistol Waifu acknowledging his existence. I wish I was making this up.
Caos Code also has the same premise, except it's not so autistic about it.

The Guilty Gear plot became really stupid when they went 3D and decided to turn the story mode into a shitty CGI animu with terrible framerate. Now all the true bad guys are former apprentices of Not-God, or the magical robot that Not-God built to help humans (except the magical robot decided that humans aren't actually humans, so it's okay to kill them all).

I was talking about Melty Blood. It is based on Tsukihime, right?

Would've helped if you'd brought up the vampires.

EDIT: How is Melty Blood full of weirdoes? The overall fashion sense in this game is downright pedestrian compared to every other animu fighter.

I was trying to spare him the more autistic aspects. Even your vastly simplified notes are more anyone should ever know about that shit.

How would I of all people know? You don't honestly think I even know what that means, do you?

The characters are all a bunch of weirdos no matter how they dress.

A vampire from the moon.
The copy of a vampire born from a giant magical ball.
A lolicon who's actually the spirit of a dead cat.
The embodiment of chaos.
A robot maid.

And yet they all dress casually af. What a disgrace.

(Except for the copy of a vampire who actually dresses like a vampire, except he's not in the newest game because French Bread hates fun.)
