Line 17:
** His stage in the first game features [http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/guiltygear/gg-1.png pixel-sized background cameos] of [[Fatal Fury|Geese Howard,]] [[The King of Fighters|Athena Asamiya, Kyo Kusanagi,]] [[Fatal Fury|Joe Higashi, Mai Shiranui, Andy Bogard and Terry Bogard.]]<ref>Moreso because Ishiwatari used to work at [[SNK]]...</ref>
* '''Justice''': One of her Overdrives is called "[[Gamma Ray]]".
** She also possesses two moves: "Michael Sword" and its Overdrive variant, "Michael Blade", a shout out [[Archangel Michael|Saint Michael]], [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|an archangel who was usually depicted as being armed to the teeth and a dangerous fellow to get on the wrong side of]].
* '''[[Testament]]''''s name is a reference to the band of the same name...
** ...with an attack called "[[Metallica|Master Of Puppets]]"...
Line 34:
** One of his attacks is called "The Last [[Edguy]]".
** For a non-rock reference, Zappa's Instant Kill is a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Film/The Ring|The Ring]]. Blatantly so.
** Resident [[Stringy
* '''Jam''''s full name (Jam Kuradoberi) is a subtle [[Music/Cloudberry Jam|Cloudberry Jam]] reference, due to her surname being a Japan-romanized writing of "cloudberry".
* '''Potemkin''' has some moves that constitute references to anime, like his Gigantic Pressure move being like [[GaoGaiGar|Hell and Heaven]] or shouting [[Kinnikuman|"Yonjuuhachi no Hissatsuwaza!"]] <ref>"Forty-eight sure-kill techniques"</ref> as he performs the Potemkin Buster.
Line 67:
*** Also a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Queen|John Deacon]].
*** Coincidentally he has blonde hair, wears sunglasses and is quite a flirt much like [[Johnny Bravo]]
** Johnny also has some clear parallels with [[Series/Zorro|Zorro]]. The black clothes, the bandit style, the swordsmanship - it's all there. Heck, one of his Overdrives even inflicts a [[Zorro Mark]] on his opponent!
* '''A.B.A.''', a [[Canon Immigrant]] from [[Spin-Off|Isuka]]. Her name is clearly a reference to the swedish pop group [[ABBA]], as well as to ternary form in music.
** Kind of a long shot, but A.B.A.'s key companion, Paracelsus, could have some inspiration from the band [[Laibach]]'s side-project album ''Paracelsus''.
Line 74:
* '''I-No''''s character design is based off of Japanese rock singer [[Shiina Ringo]], complete with her trademark mole {which she had removed}, guitar, and her bobbed haircut from her early days.
** Her name could be a reference to [[Brian Eno]], and her guitaring win pose shouts out to Eddie [[Van Halen]].
** And the solo she plays in that win pose sounds ''exactly'' like the beginning of the guitar solo in ''[[Ozzy Osbourne|Mr. Crowley]]''.
* '''[[Faust]]''', a.k.a '''Dr. Baldhead''', is named for [[Music/Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe|Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe]]'s famous play, although he shares the name with the drummer of Emperor and the German band Faust. "Going My Way?" could possibly be referencing "[[Music/Lenny Kravitz|Are You Gonna Go My Way?]]".
* '''[[Music/Leopaldon|Leopaldon]]''' is the name of an electronica/house band.
