It’s Heaven or Hell, Boo Boo
Guilty Gearis a fighting game series where witches with electric guitars can fight against the U.S. Secretary of Defense, wielding an entombed cryptid. But a new custom sound pack adds a little extra oddity to the party: the silly, emphatic noises of Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
Twitter user “MeowzyKat” has created content for other Arc Systems Works games in the past, liketrans flag-colored palettesforPersona 4 Arena Ultimax‘s roster of fighters. With the Hanna-Barbera mod, though, MeowzyKat transformsGuilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus Rinto a Saturday morning cartoon slap-fest.

According to MeowzyKat, it took weeks of work and hundreds of sound files to make happen. But as you can see, the results speak for themselves: it’s fantastic.
Once I saw Sol Badguy lean into his run and heard the Scooby-Doo running noise, the two became inextricably linked in my brain. The sound of pots and pans clanging into one another, spring noises and general cartoon chaos filling the heavy metal-infused world ofGuilty Gearworks so, so well.
Accent Core Plus Rsaw a revival of sorts when Arc System Worksadded rollback netcode to its PC version, making it much easier for players to find matches without worrying as much about geographical distance. And the other plus-side of the PC version, aside from being able to back-add rollback, is modding in cartoon noises.
you’re able to grab the sound pack and add them yourself throughMeowzyKat’s Twitter. Once you do, it’s as simple asplacing the files in the sound effects folderand bam, you’ve got your very own Hanna-Barbera fighting game. Well, kind of. It at least makes me fondly reminisce about eating cereal and watchingWacky Races.
If you’re more into the modernGuilty Gearentries, Arc System Works recently announcedJack-O’ is comingtoGuilty Gear Strivethis month. Surely you’d think her minions would work well with the Hanna-Barbera noises too, right?
