The Johnny Comparison was supposed to come first, but that didn't pan out. However! I'm going to do a tuber thing here and say that if this video does well (say, 20 likes?) I'll finish the Johnny video and upload it sometime between the start of January and end of February. A bit of a gamble, but hey, Johnny's a gambling man.
It's a shame that both El and Ram lost basically the entirety of their unique gimmicks going from Xrd to Strive. Ram lost her risky and high-impact setplay to turn into one of the most ridiculous unga bunga kits and El went from an overly elaborate but highly entertaining stance system to yet another rushdown character. They're fun and I adore their personalities, but it's also a bit sad they're both basically entirely new characters that just visually resemble the originals.
My two cents is this- Xrd and Strive are VERY different games, so it makes sense that their characters would reflect those differences. Arcsys or RED definitely wanted Strive to be easier to pick up than Xrd, and also were probably looking for a game that was more popular in the west than Xrd was- I think that’s why a lot of the game has been ‘simplified’. Despite that, I still feel like our characters movesets are expressive and fit them well, even if they’re different. Like I always tell my friends- if you wanna play Xrd, play Xrd- what’s stopping you? Plus, while I would be interested to see how Xrd Ram’s moveset would work in Strive (probably poorly, let’s be honest), characters like Johnny and Elphelt were changed so drastically for a reason. I don’t need to spell out why lol.
@@Ankha5 I don't think anyone was pretending that Ram was considered to be quite weak in the meta and that El had an absurdly powerful kit, but even with Strive being 'easier', some characters got gutted more badly than others. Why can't Ram have an interesting risk/reward system for her swords? Why are we forced to take away all of El's stances for generic specials just so she can have an absurdly spammable Rekka? Meanwhile Milia gets her kit completely butchered to take away her oki and mixup game to where she's just a worse version of her Xrd appearance.
@@SethAbercromby Guilty Gear installments prior to Strive simply have more complexity than Arcsys was looking for in terms of a new release. I believe that's why they reworked many characters to be more straight-forward. Now, I'm not saying I back that choice - I play Uni after all, and I love fgs with complex characters and mechanics - but as I said, Strive is a different game. I think that these changes to characters are intentional- after all, why would you ever play Xrd again if Strive was just another updated version? It'd be like picking up Sign when Rev 2 exists. I personally think that it's exciting to see new iterations of these characters, and if I ever feel nostalgic, Xrd is two clicks away.

That's why I Love strive : it took the generic Anime design and replaced it with something unique and stylish . Its almost Like they hit the gym after gg xrd
Esphelt was never a generic design though? It was a character in a wedding dress using a rifle, shot gun, pistol and a bouquet and a strawberry as grenade as weapons, her ulti literally summoned a gian wedding cake and she cut you alongside it. Strive design is much more generic, the silhouette has no particular design choices that make her stand out, which is fine, she is kinda like giovanna, a simple design but in no way was the old design generic. And yeah they definitely hit the gym after xrd, chipp looks like a bodybuilder when if you look at older illustration design he had a slim look more adept to a ninja/martial artist, but hey, it's personal taste.
While I disagree that any of Daisuke's designs before Strive were generic, they definitely collectively hit the gym lol. Seeing Zato in Xrd next to himself in Strive is hilarious- "Dude, you look huge!"

Well, apparently I highly underestimated the reception this video would have!
I guess I’ll see you in a few weeks with a Johnny video!
Elphelt becoming a metal singer in Strive: 🌝
The reason *why* she became a metal singer: 🌚
What's the reason?
@@danielwitt1793 feeling useless.
@Character_Selection_Screen she felt useless? :( like, in her life or something?
@danielwitt1793 she did. She wanted to put smiles on people's faces, but couldn't inside the castle she stayed at.
Can't wait for her Fortnite crossover
If Fortnite becomes a gacha, it could definitely happen...

The canonical wife of Nago, Elphelt Valentine
I swear nagoriyuki is so lucky
She still love Ariels 😢
I love that they referenced it! Arcsys did a great job fleshing out this character through her taunt/respect dialogue!
whats the name of the anime in the intro?

Guilty Gear is one of at least two fighting games they have cameo in the show! It was a fun watch.
