Ride the Lightning

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Ride the Lightning is one of Ky Kiske's Overdrive Attacks, first introduced in the original Guilty Gear. It also served as such for Robo-Ky's before his revamp in Guilty Gear XX ♯Reload.

Sin Kiske has his own variant of this Overdrive, shortening its name to R.T.L (Ｒ・Ｔ・Ｌ, Āru Tī Eru?). It first appeared in Guilty Gear 2 -Overture-.

Overview

In gameplay, Ky's Ride The Lightning is a general-purpose overdrive which is generally easy to combo into, given its functional hitbox, forward movement, and decently quick startup. Furthering its adaptability is its ability to be performed unimpeded in the air, though adept players may find higher damage routes from utilizing a Roman Cancel.

In Guilty Gear 2: -Overture-, Ky's variant instead takes on the purpose of being a very useful crowd-clearing tool that can eliminate a large group of servants, with a few practical combo routes (as opposed to a number of characters only having one or two).

Sin's variant in Overture is a mixed purpose move, being composed of 3 aimable dashes which may hit many targets on each - but less than standard Ride The Lightning's, and each hit does less damage while only being able to strike a single target once, making it multipurpose, but less specialized. Like all of Sin's lightning, it is a deep red instead of a light blue like Ky's.
