  1. 0:00As you guys know, I like to poke fandoms
  2. 0:01with sticks. But believe it or not,
  3. 0:03Guilty Gear is actually something that
  4. 0:05I'm not unfamiliar with. I've actually
  5. 0:07played Exard and a bit of Revelator. I
  6. 0:10found to be an incredibly good time
  7. 0:11because I have friends that are huge
  8. 0:13Guilty Gear fans that highly recommended
  9. 0:15it to me for the animation and character
  10. 0:17design alone. So, I figured I would
  11. 0:19finally have a look at Guilty Gear
  12. 0:21Strive cuz I haven't played the game. I
  13. 0:23haven't had time at all. And so, I'm not
  14. 0:25super familiar with any changes they
  15. 0:27might have made to the cast for Guilty
  16. 0:28Gear Strive. So, for me, while I know
  17. 0:31most of like the key character design
  18. 0:33things they do for the Guilty Gear cast,
  19. 0:35I haven't seen any changes in detail.
  20. 0:37So, what we're going to do today is
  21. 0:38we're going to go through the initial
  22. 0:40roster, which is about 15 characters or
  23. 0:43so, I believe. We also have the old
  24. 0:45designs up so we can compare cuz the art
  25. 0:47style has changed quite a bit over the
  26. 0:49years. And if you guys like this video
  27. 0:50and you, you know, you show it a lot of
  28. 0:52love, lots of uh likes and all that
  29. 0:54jazz, then we can probably jump into DLC
  30. 0:57cuz I do love Guilty Gear. I think that
  31. 0:58the character designs in Guilty Gear are
  32. 1:00great is what got me interested in
  33. 1:01fighting games in the first place. So
  34. 1:03yeah, I want to just go through Strive,
  35. 1:05have a good time, and just uh yeah,
  36. 1:08heaven or hell, let's rock MY
  37. 1:10>> SMELL OF THE GAME. [music]
  38. 1:15>> OKAY, so we start with
  39. 1:17>> soul bad guy.
  40. 1:20>> This man is a scientist.
  41. 1:23Frederick, yes. this [ __ ] brick [ __ ]
  42. 1:26house of a man, no science and very very
  43. 1:28well. But the most fun thing about Soul
  44. 1:31now so many years later is just how much
  45. 1:34muscle he's put on. Like my man used to
  46. 1:37be a Twinkie. My man was like he was
  47. 1:40obviously lean and like muscular,
  48. 1:42whatever. Like he dressed like such a
  49. 1:44[ __ ] but I think that like he's
  50. 1:45[ __ ] now. Things that never change,
  51. 1:48insane hair, big sword, respectable man
  52. 1:51boobies. That hasn't changed. But what
  53. 1:53has changed is the shape language of the
  54. 1:56character. Whereas before he had a very
  55. 1:59balanced body type, now baby boy has an
  56. 2:02insane Dorito body, a perfect hourglass
  57. 2:04figure as a dude, and [ __ ] pecs that
  58. 2:06can rival the gods. You can bounce a
  59. 2:08quarter off those. And the zipper is
  60. 2:10hanging on for dear life. The reason the
  61. 2:12zipper is down there, chat, is cuz it
  62. 2:13can't go all the way up. It would burst
  63. 2:15and hit [ __ ] sin in the forehead and
  64. 2:17then everybody would die and Dizzy would
  65. 2:19kill him. But Saul's design for Strive,
  66. 2:21I actually love because I think that
  67. 2:23like they've gotten the key elements
  68. 2:25that he has, which is red, black, and
  69. 2:27white color scheme, his free belt, his
  70. 2:29bandana, and they've actually modernized
  71. 2:31it a fair bit. His original design was
  72. 2:34very much RPG protagonist. Nonsensical
  73. 2:37top, but looked really cool. A [ __ ]
  74. 2:39belt, his like pants, his like little
  75. 2:41[ __ ] loin claws thing. So, it was a
  76. 2:42very cool design. [music] I'm pretty
  77. 2:44sure this one's from like the '90s or
  78. 2:45early 2000s. It reflected the era, you
  79. 2:47know. Nowadays, Soul has a way more
  80. 2:49modern look to him. The [ __ ] cropped
  81. 2:51jacket, [ __ ] tank top, a bajillion
  82. 2:54belt still. He has like his loin cloth
  83. 2:57thing, but it's much shorter, so his
  84. 2:58legs have more of a chance to shine.
  85. 3:00There's more detail and patterning on
  86. 3:02his pants in general. His sword has a
  87. 3:04lot more color now. It used to not be as
  88. 3:07red all the way down. And it's in
  89. 3:09general just such a fun silhouette. His
  90. 3:12dick cloak, he needs it. Okay, he's
  91. 3:13hanging a 12 incher. And the shoes just
  92. 3:15look so much cooler. I think that like
  93. 3:17Soul has always been one of those
  94. 3:19characters that he oozes RZ and he looks
  95. 3:22like bad guy. Not bad guy actually. One
  96. 3:23of the nicest [ __ ] people. He's just
  97. 3:25not having it with [ __ ] [ __ ]
  98. 3:27Okay, he's done. Frederick is done. He's
  99. 3:29not doing it anymore.
  100. 3:31>> Go find a book to teach you some damn
  101. 3:33manners.
  102. 3:33>> I am in particularly obsessed how
  103. 3:35they've managed to preserve his color
  104. 3:37scheme while still making some
  105. 3:39significant silhouette changes. Like he
  106. 3:41didn't have a jacket before. There were
  107. 3:43a lot less gold accents before. They've
  108. 3:45actually brightened those up cuz they
  109. 3:46used to be bronze in like the older
  110. 3:48design. And we also have gone to like
  111. 3:50the Disgaya school of character design
  112. 3:52and we've gone bigger and better, pun
  113. 3:54intended. So his shoulders are huge, his
  114. 3:57jacket is huge, his cuffs are gigantic.
  115. 3:59Look at like the size of his feet and
  116. 4:01his legs. That like makes him super
  117. 4:02bottom heavy. The composition for Soul
  118. 4:04is phenomenal. And the coolest thing
  119. 4:06about Arc System Works is that the art
  120. 4:08style you see here on screen chat,
  121. 4:11that's how they move. They literally
  122. 4:12look like this in motion, which I think
  123. 4:15is the thing that impressed me the most
  124. 4:16when I first saw this game. The
  125. 4:17animation, the 3D work is immaculate.
  126. 4:19And I think that like for your John
  127. 4:21Guilty Gear, which is Soul, it's a very
  128. 4:24striking design. So yeah, I love the new
  129. 4:27design. I love how much of a [ __ ] he
  130. 4:29looks like [ __ ] scientist mama. And I
  131. 4:32just in general like how well they've
  132. 4:34preserved his silhouette while very much
  133. 4:35modernizing his look. And fun fact, if
  134. 4:38you guys want to like see the story for
  135. 4:40Guilty Gear at any point besides the
  136. 4:42Woolly video, Exard and Revelator, their
  137. 4:44story modes have no gameplay. You can
  138. 4:46just watch them. It's a movie. Also, I
  139. 4:47was considering doing intros, outros,
  140. 4:49and ultimates, but like we would not
  141. 4:50have enough time to talk about a lot of
  142. 4:51characters we did. So, that might be
  143. 4:53another video because I do love seeing
  144. 4:54these [ __ ] in motion.
  145. 4:56>> Frederick is also a Freddy Mercury
  146. 4:58reference.
  147. 4:58>> Yes, he is. Most of the characters have
  148. 5:00some musical reference on them. They
  149. 5:01still have bigger tits than Jacko. Yes.
  150. 5:03Yes, he does. Kai.
  151. 5:06>> Now Kai actually had quite the redesign
  152. 5:09for Strive. Kai used to basically be
  153. 5:12JRPG hero protagonist. He was like
  154. 5:15nightcoded. He's a king baby boy. And
  155. 5:17while his color scheme has stayed very
  156. 5:20much the same, white, blue, and black,
  157. 5:22it's actually become inverted somewhat.
  158. 5:25His original design was very much
  159. 5:27implied to be like the hero, the knight,
  160. 5:30like the very kingly justice type of
  161. 5:32character, right? and he has like his
  162. 5:33hope belt that kind of like matches
  163. 5:35Frederick's free but I don't think he
  164. 5:37has it anymore. So Kai is one of the
  165. 5:39designs for Strive which I'm NOT
  166. 5:41ENTIRELY SOLD ON. I'm sorry if you're a
  167. 5:44Kai man because he went from looking
  168. 5:46like a king to just looking like a
  169. 5:50fairly normal person. While I do like
  170. 5:52Kai's vibe and I do like his story,
  171. 5:54although I wanted to hit him over the
  172. 5:55head with a stick several times and I do
  173. 5:58feel like while it is a cool design, I
  174. 6:01love the open shirt. I love the belts. I
  175. 6:03love the crosses on his pants. We
  176. 6:05completely lost the nightly aesthetic. I
  177. 6:07don't know if it's meant to show that
  178. 6:08he's like more laid-back now and less
  179. 6:10worried or what, but to me, it's just
  180. 6:12not as punchy as it used to be. I
  181. 6:15definitely think that the old design had
  182. 6:16a lot more riz. If you see him in
  183. 6:18Revelator or in Xard, you will very much
  184. 6:21see that the design has a lot of punch.
  185. 6:24He's buffer. Yeah, the Dorito body is
  186. 6:27more pronounced. I love the shoulders
  187. 6:29and his color scheme, while inverted,
  188. 6:30still very, very pretty. But we did lose
  189. 6:32that night flare. What I do like about
  190. 6:34it though is I do like his coat as his
  191. 6:36cape. I do love the blue gloves. I think
  192. 6:39it's like very much nice touch. I do
  193. 6:40like the crosses on his pants. I like
  194. 6:43that we kept the sword as is. I like the
  195. 6:45open up shirt and like the more
  196. 6:46laid-back style, but it is missing some
  197. 6:48juice for a fighting game character. I
  198. 6:50do think that Kai requires a little bit
  199. 6:52more oomph. So hopefully at some point
  200. 6:54they redesign him again and give him
  201. 6:56back his nightly aesthetic. Yeah, he's
  202. 6:58very very casual now. And I guess that's
  203. 7:00like part of what they wanted to do with
  204. 7:02his story and whatever, but I do think
  205. 7:03that you can be casual and still keep a
  206. 7:05very regal aesthetic. But yeah, for Kai,
  207. 7:07like good design, solid, covers the
  208. 7:10basics of what like his character is,
  209. 7:11but it's missing the soul that made Kai
  210. 7:14Kis like Kaiisk. I think
  211. 7:16>> those fi gloves that have fingernails.
  212. 7:19>> Ew, I never noticed that. Ew.
  213. 7:22Why? That's so weird. Oh no, I changed
  214. 7:25my mind. This design is [ __ ] Why do
  215. 7:26they have nails? Ew. This next character
  216. 7:30is very near and dear to my heart. It's
  217. 7:31actually my favorite [ __ ] character
  218. 7:32in the stupid roster. And I am obsessed.
  219. 7:36And I don't give a [ __ ] what anybody
  220. 7:37says when you see them. I don't care
  221. 7:40where they're supposed to be placed or
  222. 7:41not. I don't give a [ __ ] mama. She is
  223. 7:43my favorite. She's an absolute [ __ ]
  224. 7:45queen and she deserves to be in this
  225. 7:47video. I am not waiting until we [ __ ]
  226. 7:49hit DLZ for my [ __ ] baby girl,
  227. 7:52>> Queen Dizzy.
  228. 7:57I am making one exception for Dizzy
  229. 8:00because I cannot live without this
  230. 8:01woman. This [ __ ] giga mil. Omega mil.
  231. 8:05Queen in her absolute right. Like but
  232. 8:07you said you weren't going to do this. I
  233. 8:08don't give a [ __ ] Mama. I make the
  234. 8:10rules here. Peasant. Queen Dizzy now.
  235. 8:12[ __ ] mommy. Mommy.
  236. 8:15[bell] I have actually drawn Dizzy a
  237. 8:17fair few times, but I've never given her
  238. 8:18a comic. I think she still deserves one.
  239. 8:19So Dizzy, I'm actually very pleased with
  240. 8:21her redesign. Dizzy has always
  241. 8:23traditionally had a pretty skimpy
  242. 8:25outfit, believe it or not. Very magical
  243. 8:27girl vibes in terms of how she used to
  244. 8:29get into it. Dizzy is a gear if in case
  245. 8:31it's not obvious that she's not human.
  246. 8:33And Dizzy's original outfit was very
  247. 8:35much um fighting game coded. Okay, let's
  248. 8:39leave it at that. A lot of people were
  249. 8:41actually super confused about the outfit
  250. 8:44because they were like, "Wait, isn't she
  251. 8:46pretty young? Mama, don't don't don't.
  252. 8:48It's a fictional [ __ ] type of
  253. 8:50creature, not human. It's fine." The
  254. 8:51cool thing about Disney's design though
  255. 8:53is that it's always had like the life
  256. 8:55and death wings things. She's always had
  257. 8:58like really big pigtails, a lot of black
  258. 9:00to her design, black and white and blue.
  259. 9:02It's fairly well balanced for how
  260. 9:05complex it is [music] and it animates so
  261. 9:07well. So for Strive, I think that they
  262. 9:10actually put a lot more cohesion into
  263. 9:12this design, believe it or not. The life
  264. 9:14and death type of vibes that she had,
  265. 9:16now they have very similar color
  266. 9:17schemes. The teal is on the bottom. She
  267. 9:20still has a giant tail. that Dumpy. And
  268. 9:22we got rid of the big twin tales because
  269. 9:25Dizzy has actually gone from being Kai's
  270. 9:28wife, by the way. They're married, but
  271. 9:30was kind of like hiding her from shame
  272. 9:32to now being openly accepted as the
  273. 9:34queen of the people. So, she's had an
  274. 9:37upgrade quite a bit in terms of look.
  275. 9:38She looks way more mature now. She
  276. 9:40dresses more modestly. I find this
  277. 9:41outfit hotter for some reason. I'm
  278. 9:43sorry. Like, the milin Joyer in me is
  279. 9:46like, "Oh, mama, give me that like
  280. 9:47[ __ ] like beautifully modest dress
  281. 9:49with the slit up the side." the blue
  282. 9:51lining, the very much Asian influence,
  283. 9:54the flowers everywhere, the giant milk
  284. 9:56braid, flowers all over it. She's being
  285. 9:59framed by her wings, which are
  286. 10:01absolutely gorgeous. She looks amazing.
  287. 10:02She's always looked really fun, but I
  288. 10:04think that like the Strive design is
  289. 10:06tippy top for me in every sense of the
  290. 10:09word. Like, from the composition, the
  291. 10:12color scheme, the elements of the
  292. 10:14character that have been preserved and
  293. 10:16upgraded. I do think that like maybe Kai
  294. 10:18needed a downgrade so his wife could
  295. 10:20[ __ ] glow up because she deserves
  296. 10:22this. I also really like that we've
  297. 10:24preserved her color scheme for the most
  298. 10:25part. We've just organized it better. So
  299. 10:27now she still has yellow accents uh on
  300. 10:29top and on the tail and then it's not as
  301. 10:33like hard black and white and then the
  302. 10:35wings had different shades. It's more
  303. 10:37like they have accents in their halos
  304. 10:39and that's about it. And there's like
  305. 10:41teal on the bottom. There's blue lining
  306. 10:42in the skirt which ties together the
  307. 10:44blue in her hair. very cohesive, very
  308. 10:46pretty. It also ties her to Kai's color
  309. 10:48scheme a significant amount because he
  310. 10:50has a lot of blue and white in there as
  311. 10:51well. She is stunning. Gorgeous,
  312. 10:53gorgeous mil, gorgeous woman, but I do
  313. 10:56like the strive design so much. I've
  314. 10:57actually seen the concept art for this.
  315. 10:59It's fairly involved. Uh she had a lot
  316. 11:01of work to do. I think that this is the
  317. 11:02best that Dizzy has ever looked.
  318. 11:04Genuinely love the upgrade. Love how
  319. 11:06regal she looks. I'm really sad that
  320. 11:08she's DLC. I was expecting her to be in
  321. 11:10the base roster, but nope. which is why
  322. 11:12she's the only exception I'm making cuz
  323. 11:14she's genuinely the one person that I
  324. 11:16was like, "Why are you not in here,
  325. 11:17mama? Your husband is in here. Why are
  326. 11:18you not in here?"
  327. 11:19>> In a roster of nukes, Dizzy is a
  328. 11:22hydrogen bomb.
  329. 11:23>> Yeah, Dizzy is one of those units that
  330. 11:25like the like theoretically speaking in
  331. 11:27lore, she would annihilate everybody.
  332. 11:29Dizzy has the funniest out of anybody in
  333. 11:31Guilty Gear. And if we do a video with
  334. 11:33the alts and animations, I'll show you.
  335. 11:42May.
  336. 11:43>> Okay, I love May. May has had such a
  337. 11:45like cute design now. She's still very
  338. 11:47nautical, but I did notice that in
  339. 11:49Strive a lot of the designs are a lot
  340. 11:51more modern and way less RPG than what
  341. 11:54they used to be. Chad, get it out of
  342. 11:56your system. Spam toki, go. Dude, the
  343. 11:59fact that she can attack you with a
  344. 12:00dolphin is never not going to be funny.
  345. 12:02So May is cool because while she still
  346. 12:04has a lot of the stuff from her OG
  347. 12:07designs like the nautical elements, the
  348. 12:10skull and crossbones, very orange color
  349. 12:13scheme, the sailor stripes, she looks
  350. 12:15way more chill now than what she used
  351. 12:19to.
  352. 12:22>> At the same time, the design has enough
  353. 12:24riz and enough like bombasticness to
  354. 12:27still very much fit in the fighting
  355. 12:28game. Unlike Kai, I think that like the
  356. 12:31thing they did great with May is they
  357. 12:33kept the gigantic [ __ ] anchor. The
  358. 12:35giant anchor and the really big hat and
  359. 12:37really really big hoodie. Just make this
  360. 12:39design go from like could just be a
  361. 12:41normal girl hanging out after like going
  362. 12:42to the gym to ah yes, pirate thing
  363. 12:45that's going to hit me over the head
  364. 12:46with a giant anchor and kill me. You
  365. 12:48play with the bombastic. You play with
  366. 12:51the composition, with the shapes, with
  367. 12:53the silhouette, and her silhouette is
  368. 12:55very much like ready for action nautical
  369. 12:58as [ __ ] Guilty Gear has weird weapons.
  370. 12:59Guilty Gear has always had like very
  371. 13:01unconventional things when it comes to
  372. 13:03the fighters. And with May, I like this
  373. 13:04a lot because it gives her like such a
  374. 13:07chill cutesy vibe while still very much
  375. 13:09preserving the nautical elements that
  376. 13:11I've usually known the character for.
  377. 13:13You guys know that like orange is not my
  378. 13:14color, but May wears it really well. I
  379. 13:17love how bright it is. And then like has
  380. 13:19like the big hat that's not quite a
  381. 13:20pirate hat anymore, but it could be. The
  382. 13:22white and orange stripes on the sleeves
  383. 13:25and hem of the jacket, the big
  384. 13:27stitching, the cute like belts that she
  385. 13:30wears on the back, the bicycle shorts.
  386. 13:32Yeah. The big sneakers, the black gloves
  387. 13:35that fit with the shorts as well. Like
  388. 13:36great use of accents, great use of
  389. 13:38color. The entire design is just short
  390. 13:40girly pop with big weapon is always a
  391. 13:42vibe. And Guilty Gear does a lot of
  392. 13:44that. I also really like what they've
  393. 13:46done with her hair. It's shorter. It's
  394. 13:47more cutesy. It's fluffier. She actually
  395. 13:49looks her age and strive. She's like in
  396. 13:51her 20s. Like the best way to deal with
  397. 13:53ages and strive is just don't. Another
  398. 13:55thing I like is that I like that they
  399. 13:56made her legs relatively thicky. Like
  400. 13:58she looks plumpy and like very pleasant
  401. 14:00to the eye. The baggy hoodie is
  402. 14:02definitely a vibe though. It gives her a
  403. 14:03nice silhouette though. It kind of like
  404. 14:04gives her like a triangular silhouette,
  405. 14:06a little bit more bottom heavy if that
  406. 14:08makes sense. So it makes sense why her
  407. 14:09legs were very thick. I'm very taken
  408. 14:11with the Kingdom Heart style shoes.
  409. 14:12Again, disguise as school of design. You
  410. 14:14make big, bombastic, ridiculous elements
  411. 14:16and you build the design around that. I
  412. 14:18think that that's always been a very fun
  413. 14:20way to do things. Start big. You can
  414. 14:22always shrink stuff down later. Start
  415. 14:23big.
  416. 14:24>> Axel.
  417. 14:25>> Oh, Axel. I love Axel. Another musical
  418. 14:28reference.com.org. So, Axel is weird. He
  419. 14:32might not look it, but if I recall
  420. 14:33correctly, time traveler, right? British
  421. 14:35as [ __ ] as you can tell, obviously by
  422. 14:37the giant Union Jack he's wearing in the
  423. 14:39old design. And then like the not super
  424. 14:42subtle at all [ __ ] Union Jack he's
  425. 14:44wearing on his belt. The stripe design
  426. 14:47though, may I say, I love. He's always
  427. 14:50been like lowkey a little bit [ __ ]
  428. 14:52but it was missing that oomph with the
  429. 14:54silhouette that I definitely think that
  430. 14:56the Strive one has. The Strive design.
  431. 14:59Why do you have three zippers? Actually,
  432. 15:01Axel, I'm so confused. It's like
  433. 15:03sometimes jackets have two zippers. I
  434. 15:06guess that this one has three.
  435. 15:08Thankfully, they're not that distracting
  436. 15:10elements. Uh, so I wouldn't say that
  437. 15:12they break silhouette, but it's
  438. 15:14definitely one of those things that
  439. 15:14makes you go, "What the fuck?" But I
  440. 15:16definitely love this more modern take on
  441. 15:18his outfit. He's a little bit less
  442. 15:20rocker than what he used to be, but I do
  443. 15:22very much like the vibe. I love the
  444. 15:24plaid jacket. I really, really, really
  445. 15:26like his bandana. I think the X is such
  446. 15:29a nice touch. Love the Union and Jack
  447. 15:31belt. I like that the pants are I think,
  448. 15:33correct me if I'm wrong, didn't he used
  449. 15:34to have like skinny, [music] skinny
  450. 15:35jeans at one point? I feel like this
  451. 15:38silhouette is nicer for him and for his
  452. 15:40dick because like otherwise it was
  453. 15:42getting smothered. Mama Eno needs that
  454. 15:44[ __ ] to survive. So like kindly do not
  455. 15:46smother it. Thank you. Yes, I do ship it
  456. 15:49with Eno.
  457. 15:49>> Aren't you eager to shorten your life?
  458. 15:53>> The only thing shortening is the
  459. 15:55distance between us. [music]
  460. 15:56>> Leave me alone. George. He had George.
  461. 15:58He had George. Oh my god. You're right.
  462. 16:00He had George. He has his girlfriend
  463. 16:02back now. [ __ ] his girlfriend. They
  464. 16:04[ __ ] jump through time and like,
  465. 16:06dude, mama, I will take the witch. Thank
  466. 16:08you. Girlfriend actually looks exactly
  467. 16:09like Eno. Oh, look, you know it's
  468. 16:11complicated. Okay, point is the Strive
  469. 16:13design. I really like it quite a bit. I
  470. 16:15also like that we've added some accent
  471. 16:17color to the weapon. Like it was red
  472. 16:18before, but I like that we've made it
  473. 16:21almost pink. Cuz believe it or not, that
  474. 16:23shade of reddish pink, that cherry red,
  475. 16:24guess who has that in her design. So, I
  476. 16:27like these like little hints. I'm so
  477. 16:28convinced that the writer for Guilty is
  478. 16:30like a disgusting chipper because
  479. 16:31there's a lot of relationships in this
  480. 16:32[ __ ] game. Okay, I'm I'm obsessed
  481. 16:33with it. Love the gloves. I like how we
  482. 16:36tied like the tan brown shades together
  483. 16:38and we made the shade of black not super
  484. 16:40aggressive and warm toned so the brown
  485. 16:42doesn't look that weird against it.
  486. 16:43Boots are fairly cool. I love his weird
  487. 16:46crop top even though my brother in
  488. 16:47Christ. Three zippers and a belt. Why?
  489. 16:49But like he still, you know, he has a
  490. 16:50good time. Axel just looks so pretty. He
  491. 16:53still very much like embodies that like
  492. 16:55punk rock aesthetic that he's always
  493. 16:56kind of had, but now it's just a lot
  494. 16:58more polished. And he still looks
  495. 17:01aggressively
  496. 17:02>> British.
  497. 17:04Also, the chibi looks insanely smug, but
  498. 17:06I will say that his actual normal
  499. 17:07artwork looks super smug, too. Like, why
  500. 17:09are you like this? There's three zippers
  501. 17:11on the chibi.
  502. 17:12>> There's a comment on the Overwatch vid
  503. 17:14complimenting me for using Axel's theme
  504. 17:16for Tracer since they both are
  505. 17:18characters who are displaced in time.
  506. 17:20>> Yeah, they're time travelers.
  507. 17:21I only used his theme because he's
  508. 17:23British.
  509. 17:24>> Wave. If you want to [ __ ] get a hold
  510. 17:26of Eno's witchy titties or you want to
  511. 17:28[ __ ] be an amazing gamer, may I
  512. 17:29[ __ ] introduce you to Gamer Soaps,
  513. 17:31mama. Oh, but like I don't know if I'm
  514. 17:32going to like the flavors. They have a
  515. 17:33flavor for [ __ ] everything. They have
  516. 17:34cherry, they got apple, they got
  517. 17:36lemonade. [ __ ] the most acidic pick
  518. 17:38you could [ __ ] imagine. They have
  519. 17:39lean. Anything you want, Gops has it.
  520. 17:41Great clean energy, awesome caffeine.
  521. 17:43And if caffeine is ooky spooky, they
  522. 17:45have caffeine-free versions of
  523. 17:46everything. They also have gamer aid if
  524. 17:49you guys want to like take that [ __ ] to
  525. 17:50the gym. is similar to Gatorade, but
  526. 17:52much better cuz it has creatine for
  527. 17:53focus. And if you are actually a sleep
  528. 17:55fiend, [music]
  529. 17:56if you wake up at night, you can try AFK
  530. 17:58as well with melatonin and melatonin
  531. 18:00free versions. They also have like the
  532. 18:01waifu cups, soup for some reason,
  533. 18:03t-shirts, any apparel you want. They do
  534. 18:05drops all the time, like every like
  535. 18:07other week they do a drop for something,
  536. 18:09whether it be creator or a new flavor or
  537. 18:11anything you want really. But remember
  538. 18:13to use codeation at checkout for 10% off
  539. 18:15your entire order. Mama, definitely
  540. 18:16worth it.
  541. 18:17>> Chips,
  542. 18:18>> I forgot you existed. Why are you in the
  543. 18:20main roster? Why the what the [ __ ] are
  544. 18:22you doing here? I forgot you existed.
  545. 18:24So, first of all, stripe design, baller,
  546. 18:26stellar, beautiful. I forgot what Chip
  547. 18:29Steel was completely. I'm sorry, but I
  548. 18:32will say this minor nitpick. Everything
  549. 18:33about him is so beefy that his head
  550. 18:35looks super tiny. Okay. Yeah. So, like
  551. 18:36Chip used to be more lean in body type
  552. 18:39and now he's like completely beefed up.
  553. 18:41I do think this is the case where the
  554. 18:42lean body type suits him a lot more than
  555. 18:45whatever the [ __ ] he's rocking now. But,
  556. 18:47can we talk about how good the outfit
  557. 18:48design is though? The poofy ninja pants
  558. 18:50with like all the buttons, the amazing
  559. 18:52shoes, the red sash, the big rope belt,
  560. 18:55the [ __ ] sideb top with like the
  561. 18:59zipper, great armbands, amazing use of
  562. 19:01accents. It's a super [ __ ] baller
  563. 19:04design, chat, but he's a little bit too
  564. 19:06buff. His head looks tiny. Like the OG
  565. 19:08design, I think it's less ninja, but
  566. 19:10like also a good body type for ninja,
  567. 19:12you know? In the chibi, he looks less
  568. 19:13buff. The chibi I love. Let's look at
  569. 19:15the size of his [ __ ] torso, chat.
  570. 19:18There's no waistline here. Literally,
  571. 19:19part one, JoJo bodies. The outfit design
  572. 19:22is on point. Just too big. He feels like
  573. 19:24comic relief to me though. I think it
  574. 19:26was comic relief cuz like I barely saw
  575. 19:28him in the story mode. I like those like
  576. 19:31open toed ninja shoes with a lot of
  577. 19:33belts. It's a very nice modern take on
  578. 19:35the fantasy Japan aesthetics. You know,
  579. 19:38he is ninja president. All right. Former
  580. 19:42Kraken now ninja president of Africa. Do
  581. 19:44you have any idea how wild that sounds?
  582. 19:47I was like, "President of what? His own
  583. 19:49country."
  584. 19:50>> John Yahi hands.
  585. 19:51>> Oh god, no. Hands are so much bigger
  586. 19:53than his head. You're right. Thank you.
  587. 19:56Artists in Strive. What the [ __ ]
  588. 19:59>> This man used to have a drug addiction
  589. 20:01and solved that by becoming a ninja.
  590. 20:03Truly an inspirational and incredibly
  591. 20:06weird story.
  592. 20:06>> That's what we should all do. Thanks so
  593. 20:08much for the super, dude. No, the hands
  594. 20:10are gigantic. [gasps] No. Like, measure
  595. 20:12that. Like, I need to draw a line. Chip
  596. 20:13is a massive weeb, but doesn't actually
  597. 20:15know much about Japan.
  598. 20:17>> Oh my god.
  599. 20:17>> He just says random Japanese words while
  600. 20:20fighting.
  601. 20:20>> Okay, the hand should be a bit smaller
  602. 20:22than his face. It's like about as big as
  603. 20:24his entire [ __ ] skull chat. Holy
  604. 20:26[ __ ]
  605. 20:26>> As a techkin player, Guilty Gear lore
  606. 20:29and characters feels like it's on a
  607. 20:31whole different level of absolute
  608. 20:32madness.
  609. 20:33>> I'm not boss anymore. I'm president.
  610. 20:36>> When I say Guilty Gear is wild, mama,
  611. 20:38Guilty Gear is wild. I just happen to
  612. 20:39understand a big chunk of it cuz I watch
  613. 20:41the videos.
  614. 20:47>> [screaming]
  615. 20:48>> Dude, has anyone had like a bigger glow
  616. 20:50up than Potmpkin? This is like what peak
  617. 20:52male [ __ ] performance looks like?
  618. 20:54It's PMPkin. He went from like a big
  619. 20:56beefy dude and that's it to like [ __ ]
  620. 20:59rock solid robot nipples and a [ __ ]
  621. 21:01full metal alchemist mask that I am
  622. 21:03never going to get over how good it is.
  623. 21:05Giant shoes, big hands, nice body, peak
  624. 21:09male [ __ ] performance chat. Genuinely
  625. 21:11love Potmpkin. I love how like we've
  626. 21:14embraced the military look for him.
  627. 21:15Also, like even like the chibi is like
  628. 21:17gigantic. We are using a square design
  629. 21:20language. Like the shapes that he has,
  630. 21:22his silhouette is super like sturdy.
  631. 21:23He's very stubborn. It's a it's brick
  632. 21:26wall of muscle chat in motherland.
  633. 21:28Potmpkin crossu HE'S INDIAN. WHAT
  634. 21:31IRONCLAD? I love potmpkin's design. It's
  635. 21:34so [ __ ] dope. It's like such a great
  636. 21:36example of using like silhouette to the
  637. 21:38fullest for a character. Pain in the
  638. 21:41ass. Okay, like the bit of Guilty Gear
  639. 21:42that I've played, I hated fighting
  640. 21:44PMKin, but I love the design and the
  641. 21:46strap design is phenomenal. I don't know
  642. 21:47if it changed that much from XR/
  643. 21:49Revelator, but I do really like how it
  644. 21:51looks. Also, like realistically, I know
  645. 21:53that there's not a military jacket in
  646. 21:54the world that will let your muscles
  647. 21:56shine through like this, but like I
  648. 21:58still love it though. He's wearing like
  649. 22:00either Giga Spandex or we've made
  650. 22:02literally like little bags for each of
  651. 22:03his muscles. Those buttons are not long
  652. 22:06for this [ __ ] planet chat. I also
  653. 22:07like that like they hide his face now.
  654. 22:09Like I think the mystery helps the
  655. 22:11character if that makes sense. It kind
  656. 22:12of helps with like the silhouette of
  657. 22:13like oh god giant [ __ ] brick [ __ ]
  658. 22:16house. So I prefer the modern PMPkin.
  659. 22:19Thank you. So like fun fact, this is
  660. 22:21actually the first time seeing him
  661. 22:22without the helmet. But I like the fact
  662. 22:23that it's like the mystery, you know?
  663. 22:25Pmpkin is a break your spine unit. But
  664. 22:27yeah, great character. Love the military
  665. 22:29bits. Love the fantasy. The [ __ ] big
  666. 22:31helmet, big hands, just square shaped.
  667. 22:34Everything about him is just so fun. And
  668. 22:35he looks great in Strive. So I
  669. 22:37appreciate the BM's Genon. Hmpkin likes
  670. 22:39to draw, but he needs specially designed
  671. 22:42pencils so that they don't get crushed
  672. 22:43to sawdust in his gorilla hands
  673. 22:45>> because he has giant hands. Chat, look
  674. 22:48at him.
  675. 22:50>> Okay, Fost, you're horrifying. Like you
  676. 22:53were already a crypted in the original
  677. 22:56Guilty Gear games. Also, shut up for
  678. 22:59having one of the funniest supers. But
  679. 23:01like now
  680. 23:04they really cranked the horror for Fost
  681. 23:06up to like 11. What the [ __ ] dude? He
  682. 23:09used to be like goofy but creepy and now
  683. 23:11it's just like, "Hey, would you like to
  684. 23:12become a creepy pasta?" That's syringe.
  685. 23:15Yeah, that's his wien chat. Ro got
  686. 23:16demoted. No, no, no. This is a glow up
  687. 23:18because I think before you couldn't
  688. 23:20quite get just how off-putting of a
  689. 23:23character this dude is. They nailed it.
  690. 23:26The long super skinny limbs, giant hands
  691. 23:29with giant fingers, super gangly, the
  692. 23:32emassiated figure, the glowing red eye
  693. 23:35under his paper bag. Like, he's
  694. 23:38horrifying. The stitching on the skin,
  695. 23:41the like scrubs that are definitely way
  696. 23:43too loose on him, but like he can't fit
  697. 23:45anything else. big stethoscope, the
  698. 23:47[ __ ] blood splatter that just has
  699. 23:49good on it, the syringe of dubious red
  700. 23:51lip liquids that is hanging in place of
  701. 23:53where his [ __ ] [ __ ] would be. Like,
  702. 23:55and then to top it all off and make it
  703. 23:57even creepier and more realistic, we
  704. 23:58gave him their shoes.
  705. 24:00>> Dear God,
  706. 24:01>> look at how long and spindly his his
  707. 24:04hands are. This is such a good redesign.
  708. 24:07Again, this is why I love Guilty Gear.
  709. 24:10Oh, is that a flower? This is why I love
  710. 24:12Guilty Gear, right? They are experts
  711. 24:15over at the [ __ ] character design
  712. 24:16team at playing with shapes. This
  713. 24:18silhouette is phenomenal.
  714. 24:21This is a case where the Dorito body was
  715. 24:23kind of hurting F's intended vibe. So,
  716. 24:26they got rid of it and they just made
  717. 24:28him so much worse in a good way. He
  718. 24:32looks super inhuman. I don't remember
  719. 24:33his lore exactly, but he scares the [ __ ]
  720. 24:36out of me. Like, he still has like the
  721. 24:37giant scapple, but now he has like nurse
  722. 24:39shoes.
  723. 24:40>> No.
  724. 24:41>> Which I don't know why I find very
  725. 24:42funny. And everything about him is super
  726. 24:46creepy. Like the hunched nature, the
  727. 24:49fact that like he could be staring at
  728. 24:51the ground, long spindly fingers, the
  729. 24:53weird gloves. You can see his muscles,
  730. 24:55but like he's emassiated. In the older
  731. 24:57games, he was meant to be a sillier
  732. 24:59character. Now though,
  733. 25:01he needs a sandwich. He needs several
  734. 25:03sandwiches. Does he also have like
  735. 25:04stitching on his arms? Oh yeah, he does.
  736. 25:07So now it almost feels like he's put
  737. 25:09together with like very long spindly
  738. 25:11corpses. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
  739. 25:14I don't think Fost is entirely human.
  740. 25:16Not anymore. Anyway,
  741. 25:17>> the funniest part is this is just F with
  742. 25:20burnout.
  743. 25:20>> Yeah, he's just tired. Mama, he needs to
  744. 25:22sleep. Thank you. He had some really
  745. 25:24wacky attacks. Does he still run
  746. 25:26wheelchairs into people's shins? Cuz
  747. 25:27that one was really funny.
  748. 25:28>> You should check his first appearance in
  749. 25:30bald form.
  750. 25:31>> Oh, right. He used to be bald. Like,
  751. 25:33yeah, the paper bag thing. He hasn't
  752. 25:34always had that. Thank you. Hear me,
  753. 25:36Adam Foust. No, no, chat. No, no, no.
  754. 25:41Cease. Cease with those minations. No.
  755. 25:44My chat has no self-preservation. Holy
  756. 25:46[ __ ] I fear for your soul. But thank
  757. 25:48you. He's so scary.
  758. 25:50>> Melia Rage.
  759. 25:54>> Raw. If I like Dizzy, Melia is one of
  760. 25:57those characters that makes me
  761. 25:58absolutely [ __ ] feral. This woman is
  762. 26:02like sex incarnate. I am sorry. Like her
  763. 26:04old design was cutesy, but it was like
  764. 26:06very 90s anime. You know the type crazy
  765. 26:08kind of like crazy hair outfit that's
  766. 26:10like cute but that's it. But like the
  767. 26:12new Mia, it's like giving by detective
  768. 26:14goodness. Fat [ __ ] hips. Thighs that
  769. 26:17I'm going to annihilate. The buttons are
  770. 26:20struggling for dear life. I love the
  771. 26:21like little crop bit to the jacket. The
  772. 26:24hair again. Everything's my favorite
  773. 26:25part of the [ __ ] design. Fun fact.
  774. 26:27She can turn her hair into nine or
  775. 26:29anything which is pretty impressive. I
  776. 26:31can actually do that with mine cuz you
  777. 26:32know shape shifter but gloves the like
  778. 26:35uses of orange and like the icy blue
  779. 26:37eyes, black boots. Mama just [ __ ] I
  780. 26:39am too gay for this [ __ ] cuz Melia is
  781. 26:42just such a beautiful character. She's a
  782. 26:44Russian spy and assassin. Yes, I love
  783. 26:46what they did cuz like the design for
  784. 26:48Revelator was cute, but I really like
  785. 26:49the trench coat dress. I think it's such
  786. 26:51a vibe. It's so so so [ __ ] pretty.
  787. 26:54Pear-shaped. Oh yeah, mother is
  788. 26:56mothering chat. It just like makes her
  789. 26:58silhouette a lot neater, if that makes
  790. 27:00sense. It's definitely giving Spy, but
  791. 27:03we actually balance out the fact that
  792. 27:04the hair is a such a big part of it by
  793. 27:06giving her other elements with flow,
  794. 27:08like the scarf. And the scarf is
  795. 27:10actually like warm toned as well, so it
  796. 27:11doesn't distract from her hair, which is
  797. 27:13important for a character like this.
  798. 27:14Wow, her hips are thick. A lot of
  799. 27:16characters in Guilty Gear are thick as
  800. 27:18[ __ ]
  801. 27:18>> Not a big deal.
  802. 27:20>> She's hot and I am weak. I am weak of
  803. 27:22will mama. Yeah, I like the new color of
  804. 27:24her hair. I feel like the old one is
  805. 27:26like very like standard anime blonde.
  806. 27:28The buttery like warmer tones and like
  807. 27:32more silvery. It's kind of like
  808. 27:33Roselina's hair color. I think it's just
  809. 27:35much nicer. It suits her skin tone
  810. 27:36better. I think strawberry blonde. Yeah.
  811. 27:38Yeah. She's strawberry blonde. There's
  812. 27:39like there's red hints in there. Very
  813. 27:41very like slight ones, but yeah. And
  814. 27:42even the chibi is like super [ __ ]
  815. 27:44cutesy. Very sensual. Again, the guilty
  816. 27:47gear ladies have it [ __ ] any they can
  817. 27:49get it whatever they want.
  818. 27:50>> Actual. One of the complaints with
  819. 27:52current GG is that it's losing some of
  820. 27:54the hard rock, heavy metal '90s art
  821. 27:56aesthetic in some places that defined it
  822. 27:58for most of its life, and that is
  823. 28:00something I noticed people did talk
  824. 28:01about. Yes, but I do think that
  825. 28:04evolution is important for games like
  826. 28:05this. Like, they still have their roots
  827. 28:06and the music is definitely still there,
  828. 28:08but you can't expect them to stick with
  829. 28:10like the same design philosophy forever.
  830. 28:15>> Zapato one.
  831. 28:17>> Yeah, daddy.
  832. 28:19I'm sorry. So attractive. It's like
  833. 28:22Zenos and [ __ ] a JoJo villain got
  834. 28:25together and also like Venom and like
  835. 28:27Eddie looks great. Eddie's having a
  836. 28:29great time. Always JoJo pose. Can I say
  837. 28:31just that I really like what they did
  838. 28:33with Eddie in this. Eddie went from like
  839. 28:35muscly shadow creature that was like
  840. 28:37lowkey groping Zad to an actual shadow
  841. 28:40who's somehow attached by the [ __ ]
  842. 28:42They've made him so much creepier, so
  843. 28:44much cooler. like the detached eyes and
  844. 28:47like weird teeth, gangly fingers, hands
  845. 28:50everywhere. Absolutely stunning. Zad's
  846. 28:53outfit actually has barely changed and
  847. 28:55the amount of time he's been in Guilty
  848. 28:57Gear cuz I don't know how long he's been
  849. 28:58in here for. He still has like a black
  850. 28:59bodysuit now. He has a little bit more
  851. 29:02detail on his shoes, I think, and the
  852. 29:04blindfold is also slightly more
  853. 29:06detailed. But for the most part, if it
  854. 29:08ain't broke, don't [ __ ] fix it. The I
  855. 29:10think the main change was Eddie, and I
  856. 29:12really really like how they did it. He
  857. 29:14went from being like an actual 3D
  858. 29:16physical object to like actually a
  859. 29:17shadow. He's flat. He seems to almost be
  860. 29:20consuming shadow in this [ __ ] render.
  861. 29:22The chibi looks so smug for like no good
  862. 29:24reason. And it's just so beautiful what
  863. 29:27they've done with the character without
  864. 29:29touching the actual design that much.
  865. 29:31Eddie's just become like an integral
  866. 29:32part of it while still not stealing the
  867. 29:34show. It's very much cohesive. Oh yeah,
  868. 29:37I know. That's stunning. That's
  869. 29:39beautiful. That's a gorgeous render. I
  870. 29:41didn't even notice the opacity on this.
  871. 29:43Oh, it's so beautiful. But yeah, Zada
  872. 29:45looks gorgeous. Eddie looks amazing. I
  873. 29:46love what they did with it. I love like
  874. 29:48the [ __ ] flat and like 3D aesthetic.
  875. 29:51I wonder how it animates in game.
  876. 29:53Genuinely curious to see him in motion
  877. 29:55now because that cannot be easy to pull
  878. 29:57off. But the render looks spectacular.
  879. 29:59>> GG experts in chat. Would Eddie happen
  880. 30:02to be named after Iron Maiden's mascot?
  881. 30:04>> Knowing the references to rock that they
  882. 30:06like to use, it's very likely.
  883. 30:08>> Ramlthal Valentine.
  884. 30:10>> Oh. Oh, I'm sorry. Borger. Borger.
  885. 30:17Girly pop mc big thighs herself. Holy
  886. 30:20[ __ ] Ram. I love Ramlaththal Valentine.
  887. 30:24I loved her in Extart and Revelator. I
  888. 30:27love her in Strive. The [ __ ] new
  889. 30:29design is just as baller as the old one.
  890. 30:32I miss the super pointy hat, but it's
  891. 30:34okay. Dude, she's so pretty. The [music]
  892. 30:36tan skin, the light hair. It's much
  893. 30:38longer now than what it used to be. I
  894. 30:40think the super cute kitty hat, the
  895. 30:42puppy, need for borger, salty. She has
  896. 30:46some of the most badass weapons in the
  897. 30:48game. She's a Valentine, so she's
  898. 30:50similar to Dizzy in a way. Like, she
  899. 30:51thinks she's a gear. Also, her cloak is
  900. 30:53alive, by the way. Shiny fabric. You see
  901. 30:55that's flesh. So, the reason why Ram's
  902. 30:56design changed so much is that Ram was
  903. 30:58originally a villain. So, her original
  904. 31:00design was a lot more intense in shape.
  905. 31:02It had a lot more triangles. Thea the
  906. 31:04silhouette was a little bit more
  907. 31:05chaotic. She was very much out to get
  908. 31:07everybody. She's had a redemption arc
  909. 31:09since and now her design very much
  910. 31:11reflects that. It's rounded out. It's
  911. 31:13soft. It's approachable. She still has
  912. 31:15thunder thighs. That's never going to
  913. 31:16change. And I'm so glad. I love her so
  914. 31:18much. Her expression might seem more
  915. 31:20severe, but in reality, she's a lot more
  916. 31:22chill than what she used to be. Her
  917. 31:24swords have not changed at all, but the
  918. 31:27things that carry them no longer have
  919. 31:29like really big off-putting [music]
  920. 31:30teeth. They now just like look like
  921. 31:32normal little spheres and that's it. So
  922. 31:34Ram's design, while not super different
  923. 31:36in Strive, definitely shows a change in
  924. 31:38personality to what she used to be,
  925. 31:40which I love. I love that we still have
  926. 31:43green accents, although a little bit
  927. 31:45less than before. I love the clover on
  928. 31:47the hat. I adore color scheme in
  929. 31:49general. They work the magic bandages
  930. 31:52that she kind of needs to wear to stay
  931. 31:53alive. Side note, very, very well. The
  932. 31:55red looks really nice against the lining
  933. 31:56of the cape. The swords are still
  934. 31:58gigantic, still absolutely insane. And
  935. 32:00uh we still have
  936. 32:03sniffer
  937. 32:05feet. Ram is never putting on a pair of
  938. 32:08shoes ever and I love that. She's so
  939. 32:12freaky. She likes hamburgers. I ship her
  940. 32:14with sin personally. Like I didn't know.
  941. 32:16So I don't care. Guilty Gear Lore is so
  942. 32:19[ __ ] weird that I don't give a [ __ ]
  943. 32:20anymore. Mama, do the characters look
  944. 32:22good together? Do they have a good
  945. 32:23history? Yes. Okay, good. Give Burger.
  946. 32:25But her design is really, really cool in
  947. 32:27Strive. I love what they did with it. I
  948. 32:29love the change in personality and I do
  949. 32:31like that we're using the actual shape
  950. 32:33language of the character to kind of
  951. 32:34show the redeem without going super into
  952. 32:36making her very peppy cuz she's a pretty
  953. 32:38emotionless character.
  954. 32:39>> One of Saul's daughters/sisters. [music]
  955. 32:41>> It's complicated.
  956. 32:43>> Weird.
  957. 32:43>> It's so complicated. Guilty Laura is so
  958. 32:45weird. Don't think about it. Thank you.
  959. 32:47>> Did it hurt?
  960. 32:49>> Leo White [ __ ]
  961. 32:54daddy. Like, you've always been, but
  962. 32:56like I love the JRPG [ __ ] fake Grand
  963. 33:00Order [music] style old design he used
  964. 33:02to have. But you know what? I kind of
  965. 33:04like it with the short hair. Like, he's
  966. 33:05still very lioncoated. We didn't [ __ ]
  967. 33:07axe that part of his silhouette by
  968. 33:09keeping the fur trim on his sleeves and
  969. 33:12on his neckline because without that,
  970. 33:14the long hair would kind of be necessary
  971. 33:16for this character. But like he went
  972. 33:19from being commander general type pants
  973. 33:21to like stylish explorer daddy. The
  974. 33:25giant crosses are such a vibe. Mama, the
  975. 33:28beard is everything. Okay. Like those
  976. 33:30[ __ ] sideburns connect to his chin.
  977. 33:32Give me an experienced man and I will be
  978. 33:35a happy [ __ ] Lily. Those are the
  979. 33:38hands of a man that knows his way around
  980. 33:39his finger bang chat. The trench coat.
  981. 33:42The vest. That button is going to go
  982. 33:44places. The khaki pants. God, it's such
  983. 33:47a dad outfit. And like I love the
  984. 33:50grandpa gold tape [ __ ] loafers
  985. 33:52energy. His legs were really twiggy in
  986. 33:55the older designs. Yeah. So, I like the
  987. 33:56grandpa pants. I think that they even
  988. 33:58out his silhouette quite a bit in a good
  989. 34:00way. The only thing I would like is a
  990. 34:02little bit more fantasy to the outfit
  991. 34:04because the weapons feel a bit out of
  992. 34:06place in this design, but I do not mind
  993. 34:08it. We've just gone very casual while
  994. 34:11still retaining most of the pizzazz for
  995. 34:13the Guilty Gear cast. So, I appreciate
  996. 34:15that. Ponpasaur. Is that what it's
  997. 34:17called? It's insane. But yeah, Leo's
  998. 34:20design. Oh, it's so chef's kiss in both
  999. 34:23iterations. The Grandpa Fit makes him
  1000. 34:25hotter somehow.
  1001. 34:26>> All Leo main sniff glue and somehow ties
  1002. 34:29with the most crushed on character with
  1003. 34:31KY among the cast.
  1004. 34:32>> What do you mean they sniff glue? Why
  1005. 34:33does that feel like slander? Thank you.
  1006. 34:35No, it's true. I am super high right
  1007. 34:37now. Wave. Sad fact. The reason why he
  1008. 34:40fights harder when he faces away from
  1009. 34:42you is probably he wants to die after
  1010. 34:44all the people he loved and lost. Oh,
  1011. 34:47why is Leo so depressing? He's daddy
  1012. 34:49though. Hopefully the next one won't be
  1013. 34:51that sad. Proceeds to give me the
  1014. 34:52saddest character probably.
  1015. 34:53>> Nagori Yuki.
  1016. 34:55>> Oh, you are new. Nago is actually one
  1017. 34:59that I'm not super familiar with,
  1018. 35:01believe it or not. But can I say
  1019. 35:03something? The design is top tier. The
  1020. 35:06oni mask beautiful.
  1021. 35:09The Japanese aesthetic combined with
  1022. 35:13very modern clothing that are just worn
  1023. 35:16in a way that like emulate old school
  1024. 35:18Japanese fashion. It's to die for. I
  1025. 35:22love the [ __ ] katanas. Adore how
  1026. 35:25[ __ ] big that stupid sword is. The
  1027. 35:27white is such a nice pop to against his
  1028. 35:29skin. They picked perfect colors for him
  1029. 35:32with the brightest being like the
  1030. 35:33purples and like the lining of his coat
  1031. 35:35and the like straps that he has. It just
  1032. 35:37looks so [ __ ] good. I also noticed
  1033. 35:40that like his sword is like blood red in
  1034. 35:42the actual in-game sprite. Something
  1035. 35:44I've also noticed and scribe in general,
  1036. 35:46most of the highest saturated colors on
  1037. 35:48the characters tend to be either on the
  1038. 35:50hands or feet. I wonder if that's to
  1039. 35:52improve readability because Guilty Gear
  1040. 35:54has some absolutely insane designs and
  1041. 35:56really really good ones, but I've never
  1042. 35:57found their movements hard to follow.
  1043. 35:59vampire. By the way, I love the vampires
  1044. 36:02in Guilty Gear. Both of them. Louis, no.
  1045. 36:05Lily, yes. Mama, give me that [ __ ] I
  1046. 36:08think that the mask is tying the whole
  1047. 36:09design together for me. If I could like
  1048. 36:11have him wearing the mask always, I
  1049. 36:12would. He's slayers of people. Okay, so
  1050. 36:14they do know each other. The vibe I'm
  1051. 36:16getting for him though. Pretty cool dude
  1052. 36:18in general. I like that we have like the
  1053. 36:20very traditional like Japanese vibe of
  1054. 36:21like we're wearing one sleeve but not
  1055. 36:23the other, but we tied it around his
  1056. 36:24shoulders and we show where it's tied so
  1057. 36:26it's not just stapled to his skin. in
  1058. 36:28chat. I also really like that like the
  1059. 36:30no shirt underneath uh but kind of like
  1060. 36:32one robe on, one robe not like very
  1061. 36:34[ __ ] but in a good way. The pants are
  1062. 36:36very simple, just like [ __ ] black
  1063. 36:38pants boot things, which I do like. Very
  1064. 36:41nice shade of purple on the bottom
  1065. 36:42there. And the lighting of the coat
  1066. 36:43being in purple is just such a it's
  1067. 36:45chef's kiss against that orange uh
  1068. 36:47bright orange of like his tunic, you
  1069. 36:49know? It's a great design. It's a really
  1070. 36:51really fun page. for like new characters
  1071. 36:52in the series. I love
  1072. 36:53>> managed to suppress his thirst for blood
  1073. 36:55through training and likes to chow down
  1074. 36:57on oniiri.
  1075. 36:58>> A single serving of oniiri provides
  1076. 37:01energy.
  1077. 37:02>> Also, alfet is down bad for him.
  1078. 37:04>> This American
  1079. 37:05>> Oh, Mr. Samurai, how of you?
  1080. 37:08>> Vampires really do something to a lady's
  1081. 37:10brain.
  1082. 37:11>> They do. I'm sorry. Oh, you can have my
  1083. 37:13blood. My favorite character next. I
  1084. 37:14will set your coach on fire. No.
  1085. 37:16>> Giovana.
  1086. 37:17>> No, I don't hate her. I don't hate Gio.
  1087. 37:19Oh, new additions to the cast. Yeah,
  1088. 37:22girl,
  1089. 37:25[bell] girl. Okay. Like, I know nothing
  1090. 37:27about you except those and the ungodly
  1091. 37:32amount of I've seen of you and Leo.
  1092. 37:37>> You are just my type.
  1093. 37:39>> She's gorgeous. The dark skin and red
  1094. 37:41hair, beautiful. Fat [ __ ] bags, great
  1095. 37:44hips. I love the loose trousers. The
  1096. 37:46blouse is also impeccable. the
  1097. 37:47suspenders. And the most fun part about
  1098. 37:50her is like how well implemented her
  1099. 37:51color scheme is, right? So like we have
  1100. 37:53like very bright red hair, but her
  1101. 37:55wolfie thing is like green.
  1102. 37:56Complimentary colors. They play off each
  1103. 37:58other really really well. So like it's
  1104. 38:00designed to be like as a unit.
  1105. 38:01Absolutely gorgeous. I do really like
  1106. 38:03the 1940s silhouette that she's rocking
  1107. 38:05outfitwise, but like she's not wearing
  1108. 38:08it like they would wear it at the time.
  1109. 38:09Mama, let me tell you, I'm kind of
  1110. 38:11obsessed. Her shoes are great. I love
  1111. 38:13the accent color on the bottom. I love
  1112. 38:15the green accent as well. The green
  1113. 38:17accent as well on the sleeves is
  1114. 38:19gorgeous. Look at how [ __ ] fat that
  1115. 38:21ass is. For perspective, as someone who
  1116. 38:24draws characters without clothes a lot,
  1117. 38:26this ass is so [ __ ] fat that you
  1118. 38:28could lose a hand in there. At least
  1119. 38:29she's Brazilian. Of course, she has fat
  1120. 38:30BAGS AND ASS. OH, that explains a lot
  1121. 38:32about the body type. Actually, I also
  1122. 38:34really like that they go with like
  1123. 38:35warmer shades of green in game. The game
  1124. 38:38sprite is there. Uh, I don't know why
  1125. 38:40she's hulking the [ __ ] out. I haven't
  1126. 38:41played Strive yet, so I don't know. But
  1127. 38:43like amazing work on the character
  1128. 38:45design for Gio. So beautiful. So
  1129. 38:46stunning.
  1130. 38:47>> In fighting games, Brazil equals turns
  1131. 38:50you green.
  1132. 38:50>> I feel like every Brazilian character
  1133. 38:51I've seen from like a Japanese game has
  1134. 38:53the colors in there somewhere.
  1135. 38:55>> Angie Mito,
  1136. 38:57>> are you also new? You see, Wait, you're
  1137. 38:59not. No, no, you're old, but I forgot
  1138. 39:01what your deal was. Dude, what a
  1139. 39:02beautiful design. Nipple this. He had a
  1140. 39:04lot of really bombastic character design
  1141. 39:06elements, but like I like the undercover
  1142. 39:08salary man who's retired from office
  1143. 39:11work and went to be a dancing [ __ ] but
  1144. 39:13he's such a male wife. like stay at home
  1145. 39:15with the kids while you go to work,
  1146. 39:17mama. The obi, the [ __ ] loose
  1147. 39:20sleeves, no shirt, giant fans, obsessed,
  1148. 39:23by the way. That's so [ __ ] beautiful.
  1149. 39:25The butterfly patterns on the pants,
  1150. 39:28glasses, super clean color scheme, very
  1151. 39:30very fun. He went from having like
  1152. 39:32really pointy kind of silly hair to like
  1153. 39:33having more like retired salam man hair.
  1154. 39:35And I'm so into it. This is what would
  1155. 39:37have happened to the judge in Jujutsu
  1156. 39:39Kaisen if he hadn't crashed out. I love
  1157. 39:41a buff nerd. I love me a [ __ ] man
  1158. 39:44that like you see his face and you're
  1159. 39:46like, "Ah, yes, an accountant." And then
  1160. 39:47you see the body AND YOU'RE LIKE,
  1161. 39:48"WHAT?" LIKE, WHAT? Who says like just
  1162. 39:50cuz you wear glasses, you can't be buff.
  1163. 39:52[ __ ] that noise.
  1164. 39:56Not all boy with glasses need to be
  1165. 39:58Twinkies, mama. You can have herbs and
  1166. 40:00let me lick them. The teeny tiny
  1167. 40:02glasses, though. The modern fans, I like
  1168. 40:04the white and red a lot more than black
  1169. 40:06and gold, but we still have black and
  1170. 40:08gold on the color scheme cuz the obies
  1171. 40:09like a shade of gold and like the pants
  1172. 40:11have a lot of black in them. Literally
  1173. 40:12Clark can't build dude built like a
  1174. 40:14brick [ __ ] house. Can we talk about how
  1175. 40:16great the sleeves add to the readability
  1176. 40:18for this character down the fan then
  1177. 40:20down the arm right to the other fan and
  1178. 40:22all the way down to his feet and that
  1179. 40:23will let you and then use use the line
  1180. 40:26on the pants to go all the way back up
  1181. 40:28with the other sleeve and then boom, tie
  1182. 40:29it back up his face. It's like a perfect
  1183. 40:31figure eight composition. Absolutely
  1184. 40:32gorgeous and it ties it back to the
  1185. 40:34focal point which is the face. It's
  1186. 40:36masterful work, absolutely beautiful
  1187. 40:38illustration. It's one of the hardest
  1188. 40:39things to learn how to do consciously.
  1189. 40:41Believe it or not, most artists, if
  1190. 40:42you've had some experience, you will
  1191. 40:44have some compositional knowledge just
  1192. 40:46intuitively. But once you actually
  1193. 40:48master how to do this [ __ ]
  1194. 40:50intentionally, all of your illustrations
  1195. 40:52are going to look great. It's not easy,
  1196. 40:54mind you. You have to think about it,
  1197. 40:56but like you will get such good work if
  1198. 40:58you start thinking about composition a
  1199. 40:59little bit. Angie and Bacon are
  1200. 41:01intentional subversions of traditional
  1201. 41:03gender roles.
  1202. 41:04>> I really like that dancer, while Bacon
  1203. 41:06is a violent revengement warrior. I
  1204. 41:09really like that dynamic
  1205. 41:10>> with really fat bags. I love her.
  1206. 41:14[bell and music]
  1207. 41:16[screaming]
  1208. 41:18>> If I could summarize Guilty Gear's like
  1209. 41:21design philosophy and aesthetic into one
  1210. 41:23character, it's this [ __ ]
  1211. 41:25[ __ ] This woman who is serving rocker
  1212. 41:28witch
  1213. 41:30She is up here [ __ ] serving Kasaki
  1214. 41:32and Slayoshima mama. She's destroyed it.
  1215. 41:34Absolutely annihilated it. She has one
  1216. 41:36of the best designs in this [ __ ]
  1217. 41:39stupid game. Why is Soul behind you in
  1218. 41:42your chibi? Side note, Fetish, you
  1219. 41:43biffed it. Yes, Axel's girlfriend. Now,
  1220. 41:45I love Eno because Eno has always
  1221. 41:47traditionally had a very sexy design. If
  1222. 41:49you look at the old one, mama, that top
  1223. 41:51was on with double-sided tapes and a
  1224. 41:53dream. If she jumps wrong, it's like
  1225. 41:56boom, nipples right in your face. It's a
  1226. 41:58dangerous [ __ ] top. But now we fixed
  1227. 42:00this problem by giving her like an
  1228. 42:02actual bikini top. She is no less sexy
  1229. 42:04in Strive, mind you. The hat is bigger
  1230. 42:06and batter seems to be like the design
  1231. 42:08philosophy for a lot of Strive
  1232. 42:09characters. The guitar is stunning.
  1233. 42:11Beautiful instrument. The witchy
  1234. 42:12aesthetic is a little bit more prevalent
  1235. 42:14than ever. Super tall boots still there.
  1236. 42:16I love the silver details on her boots
  1237. 42:18now. We have a longer skirt on the back,
  1238. 42:20but still very teenytiny skirt/shorts on
  1239. 42:22the front there. Big [ __ ] belt with a
  1240. 42:24giant buckle. Also, I like the addition
  1241. 42:27of sunglasses because Eno actually has a
  1242. 42:30really weird eye color. They're kind of
  1243. 42:31like mine in the sense that they change.
  1244. 42:33They usually draw her with like teal
  1245. 42:34eyes. Like they she has like teal and
  1246. 42:36the chibi, but if you look at her eyes
  1247. 42:37in game, they're like weirdly
  1248. 42:38multicolored. So, the sunglasses are a
  1249. 42:40great touch. I generally love what they
  1250. 42:42did with her outfit. I saw some people
  1251. 42:44bitching, mind you, as they always do,
  1252. 42:46that they felt like this outfit was a
  1253. 42:47centered version of the old one. She had
  1254. 42:49a more risque one in Exart and
  1255. 42:51Revelator. Mama, this is sexier than
  1256. 42:53ever to me. She's still showing exactly
  1257. 42:54the same amount of skin. Except her
  1258. 42:56outfit now is a little bit more
  1259. 42:57functional. There's no longer a risk of
  1260. 42:59nipple popping out. And I love the hat.
  1261. 43:01I love the hair. I love the guitar in
  1262. 43:04teal. It's such a great color to go
  1263. 43:05against that shade of red specifically.
  1264. 43:07She used to have like a more cherry red
  1265. 43:08vibe that kind of like match Axel a
  1266. 43:10little bit, but again, the colors are a
  1267. 43:13little bit more toned down in in Strive.
  1268. 43:15I do love it though. But Eno is one of
  1269. 43:16those characters that has a pretty
  1270. 43:17complicated story. I won't get into it,
  1271. 43:19but she's actually in the newest game
  1272. 43:21that Arc System works put out called
  1273. 43:23Damon and Bab, which is super cute. I
  1274. 43:24had seen the character before I saw
  1275. 43:26Guilty Gear, and I was obsessed with
  1276. 43:27her.
  1277. 43:28>> Be my bottom [ __ ] Obsessed. So
  1278. 43:31beautiful.
  1279. 43:32>> Fun fact, in her debut game, she takes
  1280. 43:34the top off in her round win animation.
  1281. 43:36>> Yes, she does. She used to take
  1282. 43:38>> visible for exactly one frame.
  1283. 43:40>> She used to take the top off. Yeah.
  1284. 43:41Yeah. Yeah. They changed that obviously
  1285. 43:42though.
  1286. 43:42>> You've called Stroke the Big Tree.
  1287. 43:44>> Oh, damn. Okay. And that was actually
  1288. 43:46the base roster for Guilty Gear Strive.
  1289. 43:48Now, I actually did really enjoy their
  1290. 43:50picks. I would have loved to see Jacko
  1291. 43:51in there because I love her as well as
  1292. 43:53some other standouts, but I think that
  1293. 43:54for like the starter cast, not a bad
  1294. 43:57selection at all. I love the designs for
  1295. 43:59Guilty Gear. I do genuinely enjoy the
  1296. 44:02direction that the game has been headed
  1297. 44:04in. It was always really fun and kind of
  1298. 44:06like JRPG inspired, but like now things
  1299. 44:08are a little bit more casual, a little
  1300. 44:09bit more chill. I do think that like
  1301. 44:11standout designs for me definitely, Eno,
  1302. 44:12Ram, Dizzy, my wife. Absolutely. And
  1303. 44:15Soul always looks [ __ ] phenomenal.
  1304. 44:17But yeah, Guilty Gear is a really good
  1305. 44:18time. I highly recommend playing it or
  1306. 44:20at least watching the story modes and
  1307. 44:21the lore videos cuz it's [ __ ] insane.
  1308. 44:2310 out of 10 game, I would say. I can't
  1309. 44:25actually wait to try Strive out myself
  1310. 44:26cuz I suck at fighting games, but
  1311. 44:28they're so fun to play. If you guys like

  1317. 44:38decent amount. And if you guys really do
  1318. 44:39like the fighting game stuff, we can
  1319. 44:41also do a video with the animations for
  1320. 44:43Guilty Gears characters cuz I think that
  1321. 44:45some of them are actually absolutely
  1322. 44:47worth looking at, but in their own
  1323. 44:48content. And don't forget to go try out
