Neo New York
Neo New York is a major city in the United States of America as well as Sol Badguy's battle stage in the Xrd games. Based on the original New York City that was destroyed during the Crusades. The city's rebuilding process was stalled as funds were diverted elsewhere leaving it mostly abandoned[1], however by the time of Guilty Gear -Strive- it has been completely rebuilt and returns as the stage Original Times Square.
Design
The Neo New York stage is located in a cliff, fenced off with barbed wire. A western-styled building in visible in the far right, where a rotund sheriff can be seem enjoying a bag of burgers in the first rounds, and cheering on the fight in the later ones. Assorted barrells and wheels can be seem laying arround in the center, and clockwork-styled structures can be seem in the horizon, adorning a wasteland. In -Sign-, the stage was set at daytime, with the Statue of Liberty visible in the immediate background. In -Revelator-, the stage is now at sunset and the statue is gone.
Story
After the city of New York was completely destroyed during the Crusades, the U.S. government built a new port city on the northerneast coast. It was intended to recall the glory of the old New York, and even included the Statue of Liberty, but progress stalled as funds were diverted elsewhere, and at the moment it is somewhat deserted.[1]
Trivia
- Sol's unnamed stage in Guilty Gear is assumed to take place in the original New York.
- There is a sheriff who resembles Goldlewis Dickinson, who later reveals to be his older brother and shares loves for fast foods, such as burgers.
