A.B.A from Guilty Gear
“Don’t expect the unexpected…Still, he’s no match for Paracelsus.”
A.B.A vs. Bridget in Guilty Gear XX Λ Core
A.B.A’s Game HistoryA.B.A is one of the playable characters from the Guilty Gear fighting game series by Arc System Works and was introduced as the only completely new playable character in Guilty Gear Isuka (2003). She returned in Guilty Gear: Judgement (2006) and all the Guilty Gear XX updates from Guilty Gear XX Slash (2005) up to Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus R (2012). A.B.A almost made it into the top choices by the voters when Arc System Works did a Guilty Gear character popularity poll in 2016. However, she did not make it into the Guilty Gear Xrd games and its updates in the end. There are also no hints of her returning in Guilty Gear Strive as well. A character who is supposed to be A.B.A was announced in March 2024, as a DLC character for Guilty Gear Strive.
Background / Trivia A.B.A is an artificial life-form called a homunculus in the game and was created by a scientist who was taken by the military short before she opened her eyes for the first time. She lived the first ten years of her life alone in isolation. Her name is a direct reference to the popular Swedish pop band ABBA. Her musical theme in the GG XX games is actually the only one that was not composed by the series creator, Daisuke Ishiwatari but by Masaomi Kikuchi. Gameplay A.B.A is actually one of the slowest Guilty Gear characters and has a rather defensive playstyle. Her biggest strength is her Moroha Mode which increases her running speed as well as adding different and much more effective moves. ,,,the downside is that the Moroha Mode drains her health whenever she performs a move. She is absolutely a high-risk character in general in comparison to the majority of the other Guilty Gear characters. |
