The Guilty Gear Series:
Loosely in order of release date, keeping version variations together for neatness. Click each title for details on the game, links to relevant info, and for downloads! No game roms will be provided for games you can buy on steam, go support the series! This is just so the games not accessible can be saved somewhere for people to play.
Lemme know if there are any issues with any download! I tested to the best of my ability lol.

Guilty Gear (1998)
Subtitled The Missing Link, and most often just refered to as TML by people I know. It's been released on quite a few different platforms over the years, but was first available for the Playstation in May of 1998. It's goofy, it's janky, it's got style for miles. Definitely a fun start to the series and worth messing around with.

Guilty Gear X (2000)
The first sequel! GGX or By Your Side "G. Gear" (I think most people just go with GGX or "By Your Side") was released to arcades sometime in July of 2000. Following that it got ported to the Dreamcast, PS2, and even a port to Windows in 2001. The revisions are personally a bit more interesting to dig into, but the original release is a neat thing to poke at.

   Guilty Gear X Plus (2001)
The first of GGX's revisions and a Japan exclusive, X+ added Justice and Kliff as unlockable characters, story mode, quite a few gameplay improvements, and even a password tie in with Petit 2!

   Guilty Gear X Advance Edition (2002)
Guilty Gear X but for the Gameboy Advance. Its about what you expect. It did at least include endings after character's storymodes. Thats cool. Bonus fact! Theres a broken Message Select feature included in the game, with the only message still available to view being... "What's wrong with you? Don't give me that dirty look." Thanks CRF.

   Guilty Gear X ver 1.5 (2003)
A weirdly mysterous entry? GGX1.5 was the bridge between X and the XX series of games, launching alongside the Atomiswave and mostly being sold overseas. If you want a really interesting read about its background, check Mibeador's Dustloop page on the game. It's a fascinating bit of history!

Guilty Gear Petit (2001)
One of my personal favorite releases in the series, Guilty Gear Petit is a small spinoff fighting game released for the ever fascinating WonderSwan. Neither it not the console its on were released outside of Japan, which is a shame! These games are cute with silly storymodes and goofy simple gameplay. The style is overly chibi and small which works for the miniscule game and system. It also includes the adorable Fanny, who outside of these two games never appears in the series again (One day all the forgotten spin off characters will be relevant again... then you'll all see...). Anyways, its cute. Give it a try if you have a couple hours to mess around!

Guilty Gear Petit 2 (2001)
Just like above but with a slightly larger cast and a funny connection to GGX+. A particularly vexing game to me for the weirdly popular claim Venom is an unlockable character. Either this is a Pikablu situation or I'm being pranked somehow.

This game also has passwords;
BLACKMAS - Unlock all Colors and adds a Tension option to the Game Options
ADROPOUT - Unlocks Gallery
KDOKBNZY - Unlocks GGMillia, GGMay, GGSol, and GGKy

Guilty Gear XX (2002)
Guilty Gear X2 The Midnight Carnival, released in May of 2002. With balance and gameplay changes, reworked movesets, a shiny new improvement to X+'s storymode, M.O.M. mode, 4 new characters added to the cast (Bridget, I-no, Slayer, and Zappa), and a lot more various content, this game sparked a chain of revisions and updates that lasted 10 years.

   Guilty Gear XX ♯Reload (2003)
Voted game on this list most likely to give me a headache, GGX2♯R is a neat update for GGX2, being bundled with my favorite spinoff, Guilty Gear Judgment for the PSP. Mostly minor balance patches, this game is also the first appearance of the current moveset for Robo-Ky, which is great fun for me and the like 3 other Robo mains in the entire world.

   Guilty Gear XX Slash (2005)
The next big update to X2, and sadly Japanese exclusive, Slash features 2 new characters and lots of reworked movesets. A.B.A from Isuka and Holy Order Sol both are added and stick around for the rest of the XX series.

   Guilty Gear XX Λ Core (2006)
Starting the Accent Core group of games, the original has mostly aesthetic changes. Some balance and move changes were added, but most notable is the change to character portraits and voice acting. Other than that and some new stages, its a pretty standard update. This ones on the Wii though!

   Guilty Gear XX Λ Core Plus (2008)
GGXXACP is mostly another simple update, but this one has a new updated storymode that continues from the Midnight Carnival's. Kliff and Justice are also back after having been left out of the previous versions for balancing reasons. Still, for some reason, on the Wii though.

   Guilty Gear XX Λ Core Plus R (2012)
The game people usually talk about when talking about the XX era games, GGXXΛCPR (or just the merciful, Plus R) is the pinnacle of the XX era. Numerous balance changes and gameplay tweeks were added, and this is the version most people play! If you haven't picked it up yet, just wait for any steam sale where the game is frequently sold for 3 dollars. Sadly, not on the Wii.

Guilty Gear Isuka (2004)
A baffling little spinoff, Isuka is the home of A.B.A and Robo-Ky Mk. II, two really unique additions to the cast. Though A.B.A has been featured outside of this, the Robo Factory mechanic sadly remains locked away in this and ... Dust Strikers making it a fun novelty to mess with while fighting the odd control scheme here. It's got line changes and a dedicated button to turn around. It's kinda great. The 4 player fights also are a fun party game kind of addition. Home of the rarely mentioned Leopaldon, a cute dog gear.

Guilty Gear Dust Strikers (2006)
Guilty Gear DS, the one DS game of the bunch. Dust Strikers is a cute little game based off Isuka more notable for its Minigame collection than its actual gameplay. Though it has some charming storymodes. Oddly, this game was released in NA before Japan by a good few months. Shrugs. Home of the never mentioned again, Gig, a weird beast boss.

Guilty Gear RoA (2006)
With the partial find of Guilty Gear Vastedge, RoA is one of two still completely lost Guilty Gear games. Tragically too! A game for the i-mode service, information on it is scarce. With a timeline placement of somewhere between X and XX, and playable enemies from Judgment, its an odd bit of history I really want to learn more about.

Guilty Gear Judgment (2006)
My guilty pleasure of a game, perhaps my favorite title released in the series, Judgment is a PSP exclusive Beat 'em up in the series. Bundled with XX Slash in Japan or Reload everywhere else, you get a fun romp through a messed up island of creatures and generically eastern european men. It's a unique entry with a small touch of story sprinkled into a genuinely fun and complex game. Home to the coolest spin off character, Judgment (real name Raymond).

Guilty Gear 2 -Overture- (2007)
According to Daisuke, Overture is a "Melee Action" game which sounds about right. A really interesting game in terms of gameplay and even more so in terms of story. A real hidden gem for some reason in the series, I think more people should check it out. Made in an odd period in terms of the rights of the series, it has some really cool expansions on the lore and general story that sets the stage for the more recent games.

Guilty Gear Vastedge XT (2013) My history with Vastedge can not be summarized here, it'll get its own page soon. Mostly as a cry for help! For now, heres my tumblr post with what we have so far.

Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- (2014) These next three are pretty self explanitory at this point, so I'll keep it short.
Guilty Gear Xrd[a][b] is a fighting video game sub-series by Arc System Works and part of the Guilty Gear series. Guilty Gear Xrd was developed using Unreal Engine 3, with cel-shaded graphics in place of the series traditional hand drawn sprites. Following the storyline of the last game in the series, Guilty Gear 2: Overture, it introduced seven new characters.
The first Xrd game, Guilty Gear Xrd Sign, was released in arcades on February 20, 2014, as the 5th main installment, and for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Japan and North America in December of the same year. A digital-only release happened in Europe in June 2015, and it was brought to Microsoft Windows via Steam on December 9, 2015. The game has been praised for its cel-shaded graphics and approachable gameplay, but criticized for its non-interactive story mode and smaller roster of characters.
A sequel follow-up,[c] titled Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator, was released on consoles in May 2016 in Japan and June 2016 elsewhere as the 6th main installment. An update title to Revelator titled Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 was announced at Arc System Works Fighting Game Award 2016 on January 14, 2017, and released for Arcades in March 2017, while PS3, PS4 and PC versions were released worldwide at the end of May 2017. The Rev 2 update patch for those who bought Revelator on PlayStation Store or Steam was released as a paid DLC. The PS4 also received an exclusive physical disc version.[9]

Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- (2015) The game uses a six-button layout: five of which are responsible for the attacks—punch, kick, slash, heavy slash and dust—, and the other one for taunting or respecting the other player. There are several other techniques which are triggered when two or three buttons are pressed simultaneously.[10] A burst gauge is filled as time goes by or when the player receives damage; once the gauge is filled, the player can perform a Psych Burst to move away from the opponent. It unleashes a blast of energy that, if it successfully hits the adversary, completely charges another gauge, the tension gauge. The tension gauge allows the player to perform certain other special attacks.[11]
The game features four main modes: Network Mode, Practice Mode, Battle Mode and Story Mode. The first allows online matches through the PlayStation Network (PSN), which may be ranked in world rankings. The Practice Mode features a regular training mode, a tutorial mode that teaches the basic controls, a mission mode that simulates battle situations, and a challenge mode that is focused on performing combos.[12]
The Battle Mode comprises the arcade mode, which unveils part of the game's story after the player defeats eight opponents; a versus mode, in which the player can have offline battles with a second player or against a CPU; and a special "M.O.M" mode.[12] The M.O.M. Mode, which is an acronym for "Medal of Millionaires", is a variation of the regular survival mode in which the player earns medals based on performance and improves through a progression system.[13]
The last mode of Guilty Gear Xrd is the Story Mode, which is new in the current installment. This mode presents the full game story as a film-like animation divided into several chapters, for uninterrupted viewing. The viewer can pause the movie at any time to investigate a glossary of game terms and plot devices, which are described in the library mode.

   Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 (2017) The game is set in 2187, one year after its predecessor, Guilty Gear 2: Overture.[14]
Starting in Sign's storyline, the first part is set in arcade mode through each characters' own storyline, and focuses on Ramlethal Valentine's arc, while the second part of the storyline is set after arcade mode's storyline on the console version, focusing on after the capture of Ramlethal in Conclave and Justice's arc, and also serves as the beginning of Elphelt Valentine's arc in the final chapter.
Later in Revelator/Rev 2, the storyline now focuses on Elphelt Valentine and Jack-O's arc since the final chapter of Sign's story mode on console version.
Additional storyline of Rev 2 follows the concluded epilogue of Revelator's story.

The arcade version of the game initially featured thirteen playable characters. Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, Millia Rage, May, Chipp Zanuff, Potemkin, Venom, Axl Low, I-No, Faust, Slayer, and Zato-1 return from previous installments, while one new character, Bedman, has been added.[15][16] The game also features a new boss character known as Ramlethal Valentine, who was added to the playable roster in arcades via an update.[17] Additionally, the console versions add Sin Kiske from Overture, and new characters Elphelt Valentine and Leo Whitefang, as playable DLC characters,[18] bringing the total roster count to 17.[19] The console exclusive characters Sin, Elphelt, and Leo were added to the arcade version along with balance changes on March 19, 2015.[20]
The sequel, Revelator, made balance changes[21] and added Johnny, who was non-playable in -SIGN-'s story mode, and a new female character named Jack-O' Valentine.[4][6] Along with returning Jam Kuradoberi as a playable character,[22] Revelator also gives Sign's newcomer Elphelt a darker look for story purposes.[23] Another returning character, Dizzy, was also added to the playable roster as the result of a fan vote conducted by Arc System Works, defeating Bridget and Baiken in a close race, with a total of 32,990 votes.[24] The new character introduced in Revelator, Kum Haehyun, who is non-playable in the arcade version, was announced as a DLC character for the console version.[25] Raven from Guilty Gear 2: Overture is the last of the six new additions to the Revelator sequel.[26]
Baiken, on the other hand, returned as playable in an updated version of Revelator, titled Rev 2, followed by a new character who is a chief officer of Chipp Zanuff, Answer.
