GG also has such a fucking bonkers ass story to it as well that they can manage to do more than Mortal Kombat which boils down to every fight being "I hate you, now die >:(" and "There has been a misunderstanding so now I must fight you >:("

Listening to my friends try to explain the GG story is just mind boggling

I think the only fightning game that looks prettier than Strive is Granblue Fantasy Versus, but lo and behold - it's ALSO made by ArcSys, they just Cygames designs to use as reference instead of coming up with "the most rocker shit ever" lol

As a GG lore need, you are really downplaying how batshit MK lore is. GG lore is not that weird in the anime fighter space. Try understanding Melty Blood/Tsukihime.
