Guilty Gear has been a nearly impenetrable wall for American players in the tournament scene. While players from the U.S. have cracked the top ten before, the dream of an American champion has remained a dream for some time.

Lost Relic took a moment to talk about what his historic finish means for Guilty Gear in the States, and whether or not he sees the scene continuing its growth.
