Check out how Guilty Gear was going to look....

Go 1/2 way down the page for more pics. It appears that GG was going to be another pre-rendered fighting game.

Cool stuff. :)

Sol Badguy is the "Dirty Hero".

Interesting.

Millia still looks hot, prerendered or no.

SHOW TIME!

I like that original Potemkin design :)

Am just glad they changed May's axe....one of her most appealing parts is her weapon ^^

I like the Milia design up there rather than the one they wound up using. Don't know what I would have made of this had it come out.

Cool pics. I do like some of the original designs, for example original Potemkin DOES look more BADASS, in cool Samurai like way.

Those designs give off a very strong Battle Arena Toshinden vibe.

Damn, I'm dissapointed. We could have had a cool fighter with pixelly low-res pre-rendered sprites, and instead we got pretty hand-drawn 2D graphics. Damn! There's too much of the hand-drawn crap going around nowadays. ;)

I also like the design above for Milia more than the design they ended up using.

Is Sol balancing his sword on his nose? :confused:

"SHOW TIME"

Uggh, that's ugly. I must admit though, I am curious as to if it would play any different.

That art style reminds me of Toshinden, and those sprites aren't helping.

I'd have to say that I think all the changes they made regarding character were definately for the better, including things like Sol's sword now being a flat sword with no edge. Makes it more interesting that he's beating people with a sword (yes, I realize that's how broadswords actually work, but not quite like this).

/me has violent flashbacks to ShinOhKen.

Good find. Years ago I read somewhere Arc Systems originally rendered GG in 3D before opting for the hand-rendered anime look, but I had always thought they meant the game was originally going to be a Tekken/VF contender. Suffice it to say they made the right decision.

that is some ugly shit

Even though I am sooooooo very happy they changed it to how it is now, Millia is still hot. I wonder if she was as cheap in this version? hohoho.
ps-Sol looks ridiculous. What *is* he doing?

Thank goodness they changed their minds. The prerendered art just isn't nearly as good.

As for the original designs, they're not bad but would better be served with hand-drawn sprites.

i dont know doesnt see to bad

i like both

personally i like pre-rendered sprites and hand drawn sprites for 2D fighters

but im also a huge fan of the Killer Instinct series

and i think pre-rendered sprites can be pulled off

and i agree i like that Milla more
