A quick explanation of Jam and her Instant Kill (20:26): Jam is a renowned super prodigy of both martial arts and cooking. However, she has some of the worst luck in existence. She started her cooking career selling her food from a food cart, saved up enough money to buy a building and make it a restaurant, and shortly after it was burned down by a mysterious arsonist. And she has gone through this same cycle multiple times. In Rev 2, she has recently lost yet another restaurant. In the actual instant kill, she begins doing what is expected of a martial arts finishing move, then you can see her thoughts drift to her most recent loss, another hard-earned and beloved restaurant reduced to rubble, and then she puts all her sadness and frustration into the final attack.
Btw, every Instant Kill has the opponent give different reaction, the girl with the reaper and angel's instant kill has some hilarious surrenders, as well as May's Instant Kill!
Fun facts Chipp (white-haired ninja guy) used to be a junkie, but now he's the president of his own country (called Eastern Chipp Kingdom) Bedman is the Freddy Krueger of Guilty Gear. He's comatose, making his bed-robot do the fighting for him in the real world, but kills people in their dreams Dizzy is a pacifist (as shown when she actively tries to stop Necro's (demon wing) attack because it'd destroy the opponent), only fighting when absolutely necessary, especially because she's crazy powerful. Also, each character will have different reactions to her "Surrender" move. Also, each character reacts differently in some of the insta-kills, like Bedman's (where each character is killed by their own fears and bad things from the past), or May's (where each character will have different reactions to being put in the cannon. Some will be scared, others won't even be bothered, and Leo will encourage May to shoot as high as the moon so he can look cool during that)
We’ve been told about Faust and Dizzy and May having different reactions to their insta kills but hadn’t heard about Bedman before and those seem the lost interesting. Seeing peoples nightmares 😀😁😈
The "Surrender" thing was a reference to playable Dizzy not having an Instant Kill in the older Guilty Gear games (except as a boss...and the one in Accent Core which was impossible to input...and kinda lame).
Our pleasure. We get linked to vids to react to when we don’t know the franchise and this one was most recommended so you did a really great job with it. We linked to the vid in our description and hopefully it drove a few more eyeballs to your channel. 🙂
Sol and Ky are the "perennial Ken and Ryu" of the series with a twist; Sol as the first gear wants to destroy the rest, Ky believes Gears can be rehabilitated and brought back into society.
@@gilessaint-loup2426 And Sin is in some sort the Apprentice of Sol who is also the Father of Dizzy (so Sin Grandfather and Ky Father in Law) and Jack-O (or at least the gear Justice which Jack-O is the counterpart) and by Being a Valentine Jack-O is in some sorts the Sister of Ramlethal and Elphelt because the 3 are copies or Aria Hale who was Sol Fiancé but Ramlethal and Elphelt were created by the universal Will and Jack-O by That Man Yeah, the lore is kinda complex also, Dizzy by being an Half Gear is 9 and Sin 5
This is a very welcome surprise EDIT: I'd recommend the sister series, BlazBlue or BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle for their Astral Finishes. Also, Guilty Gear is a game of "guess the metal references." Elphelt is Guns and Roses, Sol Badguy is Freddie Mercury (yes, really), and my personal favorite is Venom. There's Zato=1 and the shadow Eddie (Van Halen) who even have a reference to the song Shadow Gallery by Venom to show their relationship... It's goofy. Also as for pirates, that's Johnny and May. She serves under him in a flying pirate ship orphanage thing...
Some of them have multiple responses based on the target. Namely Elphelt, Faust, May, and ESPECIALLY Dizzy, because everyone has a surrender response. Also, Ky and Dizzy are married and Sin is their son.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Ramlethal also has a crush on Leo, and Baiken (the one-armed samurai) has some flirty history with another character named Aanji
slayer’s instant kill contains a haiku randomly generated from a set selection of voice lines, leading to ones that either sound beautiful or make zero sense. he is also possibly the canonically strongest character in the entire series, and his wife is immortal.
1:37 Basically, Haehyun fights by piloting a big robot suit, shaped like an old muscular man. In her noral victory animation, she ends up accidentally pressing the "Emergency Ejection" button, and ends up being shot out of the robot's chest.
One thing I love about this game in particular is how many unique interactions it has. Every single character has a different win-screen quote for every single other character, and there are tons of Instant Kills where every character has a different reaction when you perform it on them - for example, everyone says something different when stuck in May's cannon, everyone has a different exchange with Sin when they're flying through the air, and everyone has Faust do something different to their face. There are also lots of characters with story relationships who get little extra bits when one uses an Instant Kill on the other. For example, the idea behind Dizzy's is that she's effectively a living weapon of mass destruction, but is a pacifist who doesn't want to kill anyone and struggles to control her powers. So she stops herself from shooting the enemy at the last minute, so instead of being "Destroyed", they're so scared after seeing the explosion she causes that they surrender instead - but if you use it on Ky, who's her husband, instead of a terrified expression, he has hearts in eyes. So, fun fact, almost every character in this series is named after a reference to rock and metal music. Sol Badguy's real name is Frederick, he's named after Freddie Mercury and his alias comes from Mercury's first solo (SOL-o) album being named "Mr. Bad Guy". May is named after another member of Queen, Brian May. Ky Kiske is named after Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske, two members of the German metal band Helloween, whose mascot, Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O's name and mask design come from. Millia Rage is named after a band called Meliah Rage. Zato-1 is instead named after a famous Japanese film character, Zatoichi the blind samurai ("ichi" is Japanese for "one"), but the demon that lives in his shadow is named Eddie, after the famous mascot character of Iron Maiden, Eddie the Head. Chipp Zanuff is named after a band called Enuff Znuff and designed after Billy Idol. Axl Low and Dizzy are named after Axl Rose and Dizzy Reed from Guns 'n' Roses. Johnny is named and designed after Johnny Cash. Venom and Slayer both share their names with bands. I-No is named after Brian Eno, but her design comes form a Japanese singer named Shiina Ringo. And there are so, so many more references, in names of characters, abilities/moves, stages, and even more obscure details. I would highly recommend checking out the Overdrives for this game and also the sequel STRIVE, which are the in-gameplay special moves, as opposed to cinematic finishers like these. I would also recommend checking out BlazBlue, the other original fighting game series made by the same company (which was originally supposed to replace Guilty Gear when they temporarily lost the rights to it), specifically BlazBlue: Central Fiction, the last canon game, which has every character in the series. That series has a lot of different types of super moves: Distortion Drives and Exceed Accels are the special moves that are used in fights, and Astral Heats are the cinematic finishers equivalent to GG's Instant Kills.
I love how every character and their attack's are all references to different musicians and songs. I mean the main character Sol is basically Freddie Mercury.
So the thing with Dizzy (17:14) is she doesn't want to fight which is why during her "insta kill" she doesn't actually hurt you she just scares the ever living shit out of you by showing you what she could do to you but she gives you a chance to surrender and obviously the opponent takes it
Chipp Zanuff (The white-haired ninja guy who summoned copies of himself) is definetly NOT LAME. Here's some backstory if you care to read (or skim) through it. Also the game has some different dialogue between characters after a fight, so maybe you'd react to that one day. Born in the U.S. during the Crusades (which was basically a hundred-year World War between humans and living magical weapons) Chipp was orphaned shortly after birth. From a very young age, he struggled to make a living in the streets and got addicted to drugs. In order to secure a regular supply of them, he became a dealer for the Mafia. After years of punishing his body with all manner of narcotics, he finally broke down and was to be "disposed" of by the organization. Chipp fled from the Mafia. His pursuers were quickly dispatched by one man, but Chipp fell over and knocked himself out. He woke up in the care of Tsuyoshi, who rescued him but also took his drug stock away. To no avail, Chipp attacked Tsuyoshi to take them back for an entire month. Now completely sober, Chipp realized that he followed Tsuyoshi for another reason, owing him a debt, and asked to be his apprentice. Chipp became a student at the ninja's dojo and trained body and soul in the ways of the shinobi. They lived peacefully together until the Assassin's Guild ordered Tsuyoshi's death for his betrayal. Chipp and Tsuyoshi were training in the mountains when they felt the assassins coming, and they split up. Chipp later realized the main force were after Tsuyoshi. He returned to find the assassins dead and Tsuyoshi dying. Tsuyoshi berated Chipp for coming back for him, and wanted Chipp to promise he would walk away and live his own life. Tsuyoshi passed away with a smile, telling Chipp "I'm glad you're alive." After beating the guild who killed Tsuyoshi, Chipp makes peace with the leader and says that he wants to make a difference and create a peaceful world and replace the lawlessness that was caused by the war, and the best way to do that is to become the president of a nation. He convinces the guild to help him if he succeeds. In the following years, Chipp was travelling when he came upon a rather lawless area in southern Africa that saw little aid after the Crusades. Chipp managed to restore some level of order and reformed it into the Eastern Chipp Kingdom, with himself as the President. The population is roughly in the tens of thousands, and their hearts have been captured by their charismatic president. Also, as Tsuyoshi was Japanese, Chipp possesses a great love of Japan, (which had been destroyed by the war) and even claims to have been born there, but his image of the country is largely idealized and has little to do with reality. Chipp's non-Japanese origin is given away by his speech: some of his lines during combat consist only of Japanese words known to foreigners ("harakiri", "kamikaze", "sushi", "sukiyaki", "Fujiyama geisha", etc.), and whenever he is surprised he will exclaim "What?" in japanese. There is one obvious fault: Chipp's implementation of Japanese Culture Studies into his nations general education curriculum. Most of the information he projects is wrong. Chipp also got his own staff, led by Answer, the red-masked snake-guy talking on the phone.
ok take it easy. Pretty sure they werent around for the past other games that had visual novel long info on the whole story and for that characters involvement
the reason why bedman is in that bed is because he is so smart his brain will essentially fry itself because it cant process everything so he stays asleep and lets the bed do all the fighting also he has a sister whos coming in strive
How nice for this to come out on my birthday. Guilty Gear is one of my favorite franchises. It's world and characters are so fun and interesting. It's definitely a lot to take in if you're brand new. Raven is my favorite character. Despite his appearance, he's actually quite a nice guy. He also happens to be a sadomasochist because he's lived so long that pain is the only thing he can feel.
Dizzy is always good, especially when you watch everyone's reactions. Poses/animations are for Jack-O. There is a WHOLE MEME around her crouch animation now, and back walk animation is adorable where she hops up on to the ball and rides it in reverse.
it was awesome seeing the reaction you two have to this weird game. if you're looking for equally weird suggestions, astral finishes in blazblue crosstag, or block busters in skullgirls 2nd encore, are both good bets
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames some of blazblue’s astral finishes have versions for each character- namely relius’ “the puppeteer’s altar” and amane’s “jyatoku meika: gouha houyou”. amane’s in particular is very fun :)
the demon that Zato wields is called Eddy, slayer got a diffrent instant kill for the whole cast because he tells haikyus to all of them, faust fights with a giant scalpel and his instant kill also has diffrent outcomes on the whole cast, dizzys instant kill also has some different facial expressions on the cast and the badguy in this game is called That Man
You guys should react to the newest game (Guilty Gear Strive) if you haven't already. That game is great too, although that one doesn't have insta kills, but it does have intros, outros, and cool supers. They increased the graphics a TON in that one.
whoa guys, guilty gear!!! now THIS is a rabbit hole worth diving into! it's got lore so deep you'll need a few videos to wade through... and neat thing is there's a bunch of fans who made some great stuff about it! recommending that series by WoolieVersus, he did a pretty nice and thorough one ooh and just to add, many of these finishers are customized depending on who's on the receiving end, some of the reactions are hilarious! (some folks also collected compilations of those variations, worth a watch too!)
also, since Ken seemed to like Raven and Raven is my main, here is some basic info about him: Raven was originally a human German soldier from the time of Holy Roman Empire's reign (presumably the 5th crusade) who got shot by multiple arrows to what was supposed to be his death. but instead of dying he got transported into a white space and then was forced to feel the maximum amount of pain that a human can feel before awakening in a pool of his own blood. from that moment on Raven stopped aging and nothing could wound, let alone kill him. Raven even had multiple attempts of... "self unaliving" (hence the giant screw in his forehead) which all failed, giving him a masochistic desire for feeling pain and a longing for a death he could never have. at some point in his eternal life, he went to a village to help people. sometimes curing the sick and wounded, sometimes doing chores and other times overthrowing tyrants, the last one caused him to be sentenced to death and publicly executed multiple times but of course, none of them worked. and every time he casually walked away from being executed, people treated it like a miracle until everyone in the village saw him as a god. after a while the words of how good he was reached other places and people from other villages and cities asked for his help, which caused Raven to leave that village to help people in other places. after a while he returned to that village expecting a warm welcome back but realized that the people there blamed him for everything wrong that happened while he was gone. in his own words, he realized he was nothing more than a glorified repairman. that experience left him apathetic and depressed, but a few centuries later, he found "That Man" and pledged allegiance to him. becoming pretty much That Man's right hand man and one of That Man's only friends.
Like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the Guilty Gear characters are references to various singers and bands. Fun trivia bit: Sol Badguy's favorite band is Queen btw.
It's terrific, that you finally got acquainted with best fighting franchise. But too bad, that you won't see truly glorious characters of past games that are Brigit, Robo-Ky and Zappa, since they are absent from later games (they do cameo in plot though iirc) Also, some small additions There were told, that Sol Badguy's favourite band is Queen, and his real name from before he became Badguy was Frederic... yeah. Sin is Ky Kiske and Dizzy's son, which makes him ultra-powerful (due to Dizzy being living super-weapon) and also prince (due to Ky being King of the nation by the time of his birth - not bad career from Chief of Police in old games), but he has rowdy manners and laid-back personality since he was raised by Sol because of important reasons... and Sol is bad model, to pu it mildly. Slayer is oldest vampire in setting, former boss and founder of League of Assassins, and has immortal wife. That's why he drinks her blood before battle nad she is alive by the end of battle. Also, haiku at the end of his Instant Kill is randomly generated, which is hilarious, since it may be complete nonsense and destroyed enemies still say, that it's beautiful or sophisticated. Zato-ONE is dead-for-two-games-now-alive-again boss of League of Assassins, and he predicatably has identity crisis. In GG2 generation we were playing by his pet shadow Eddie that just dragged Zato's corpse around as vessel. Doesn't help he is a little bit sociopathic and wants new body. Millia Rage is former Assassin, was in love with Zato and also her hair is her deadly weapon. Venom is Zato's heir as boss of Assassins, he was saved by him and understandably has a little bit (very much) of crush on him, which doesn't help since Zato was dead for like 3 games. Faust is insane but mostly good-natured illegal doctor that operates on Rule of Funny and Cartoon Logic as whole character design. He is also former serial killer. Kinda. He wasn't himself back in the day. Jack-O, Elphelt and Ramlethal are walking spoilers for last two GG. Bedman is... how to put it? He invades people dreams as nightmare and also dreaming himself in real time, more or less one of the most powerful characters of the game and villain of the game. Well, not main one, but kinda like brute that is killed in very inhuman manner at the end of the film. Only he isn't killed, iirc. Johnny Sfondi is most notorious Flying Pirate of the setting with female-only crew (May is part of it). He is probably one of the most skilled non supernatural characters in game. Leo is Ky Kiske co-King, so that's why he cite laws and has royal guard. I-No is walking spoiler for entire franchise Jam Kuradoberi became Bounty Hunter to earn money to open restaurant in old games... apparentely, this restaurant was ruined and now she does it again
I don’t know if you guys have ever considered reacting to music but guilty gear has some of the most interesting music I have ever heard. I think you guys would enjoy reacting to the music of guilty gear strive, which is the newest game in the series, it has some really great music
So the deal with that one girl Baiken with the long red ponytail and eyepatch is that she's a wandering samurai because her whole style is based on those old Japanese samurai fighting movies called the Chanbara genre. Including with the settings in her intros and the narrator that talks while she's on screen, she's missing her right eye and right arm too
There’s actually a video that is just everyone be fired out of May’s cannon and everyone has a different reaction and voice lines. Well worth the watch
Guilty Gear is a series I have never played but find interesting and strange. The earlier games has some sick backstory, but then it just devolves into the basic anime stuff.
Yeah, guilty gear is known for its ridiculous character designs and animations lol. This game was actually pretty revolutionary, no other game at the time had an art style and animation quite like it and some of the developers actually held a conference where they taught people how they did it
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The previous guilty gear games were 2D and used sprites, while this game had 3D character models but was animated in a way to look like it was still 2D and hand drawn. Here’s that conference video I was talking about th-cam.com/video/yhGjCzxJV3E/w-d-xo.html
for clarity sin kiske is ky kiske's son, he's named sin because ky is a very catholic frenchman and was deeply self loathing up to and for a time after sin's birth
Genuinely speaking, I could ask you to react to GG music, as it is legendary enough that people tend to joke that the game is there to promote the album. Which, funny enough, is all done by Daisuke Ishiwatari, who is also the producer AND Art Director of the game! (The guy is fascinating, not gonna lie) Then again, I'm not sure of heavy rock is to your liking, and it might open the floodgates to people asking you to listen all kinds of music. So instead, try to see the following Instant Kill variation videos, if you can: - Faust Stimulating Fist - Faust "Is this me" Instant Kill - Potemkin Buster - Elphelt "Magnum Wedding" - Venom "Giga Machina System" - Bedman "Nightmare Theater" - May "And Then She Said Farewell!" - Sin "Raiden" - And of course, highly requested, Dizzy's Instant Kill All of these moves show custom reaction of each character being used on. And funny enough, same thing happens its sequel "GGStrive". If you need help finding those videos, I can scout them for you! ;)
Music will be in our other channel we started th-cam.com/users/DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 We try to keep this one just to games. Thanks for the video suggestions 😀 Can we easily find them searching the titles? If so then we can handle that. But if there will be multiple videos to choose from and you know specific vids then feel free to send us links on here, instagram (link in description of video) or sending us an email 😅
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Here's my recommendations: - Guilty Gear Xrd REV2 - FAUST: OverDrive + Destroyed All Variations [1080p] by TempestWay - Guilty Gear Xrd Rev2 - Heavenly Potemkin Buster Translation by redneck crake - GGXRD:Elphelt's Magnum Wedding On All Characters by ApertureBlack - Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 May's Instant Kill on Baiken and Everyone Else by fredchuckdave - Everyone's Reaction to Dizzy's Instant Kill - Guilty Gear Xrd: Rev 2 by Cookie Cooly (preferably, see this one last!) These are the one for sure that will have the whole cast
This is why I suggested STRIVE 🤣 It would have been less confusing. But Man DID I ENJOY THIS ONE! The dood named Sol Badguy. His name is a reference to a Freddy Mercury Album. And the Girl in the wedding Dress. Her Whole look is a reference to GUNS n ROSES. The GUILTY GEAR SERIES Is a GIANT Homage to HEAVY METAL and ROCK N ROLL. I LOVE IT!!!!
The ninja guy (Chipp) is ironically the president of the USA in the Guilty Gear universe Edit: So i got something wrong, Chipp is the president of a nation, but not the US. Also Potemkin is my favorite
Should follow up with the 5 minute video of everyone's reaction to Dizzy's instant kill finisher. They all have hilarious reactions to the mushroom cloud explosion in the distance. One of em even points at it XD
You should absolutely see the character trailers from the latest game Guilty Gear Strive. Guilty gear is absolutely amazing and id love to see more reactions from this series.
I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS ONE FOR SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG!!!! also you could probably check out all the Astral Finishes from the Blazblue series. Blazblue is made by the same company that developed Guilty Gear (Arc System Works) and it was a spiritual successor / temporary replacement for when they kinda lost the legal rights to most of their characters.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames As I recall, one of the latest Samurai Shodown sequels includes a crossover character: Baiken from the 'Guilty Gear' games, seen here (in this video) on the receiving end of all this punishment. So you might not be done watching Baiken getting pwned yet! 😁
Gotta love the fact they called Sin a pirate despite him being a Prince and then the character after that, Johnny, is an actual pirate who they proceed to call a cowboy 😂
just so u know, Millia Rage uses her Hair as weapon, that should explain her ultimate a little. And Answer is Chip's assistant in running his country, even during battles he's constantly on the magi-phone talking to ppl till his hp drops below half, then he gets serious. And the girl Slayer bit is his immortal wife, who's somehow immune to his vampire curse so they married. About Dizzy's ultimate, hers is different for every character she fights against, with all reacting differently. As for Bedman, he has to sleep couse if he stays awake to long he dies, so his bed does the fighting while he gives commentary from a different dimention.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Anytime! for games like this, its quite handy. I also have a suggestion, the story of this game is actually one big anime, no gameplay at all, so if u want to do something different, go get the game cheap and watch it, its at around a hour and a half long if u add the afterstories to it.
I love watching guilty gear newcomers react in abject confusion to what's going on on screen. Trust me, as someone who was in your place a couple years ago I know exactly how you feel.
Daisuke Ishiwatari (the creator and character designer of the series) loves cute girls, heavy guitars and classic metal. Oh, and he wrote all the music and played the guitar on it. Pretty much every character is overloaded with references to classic rock and metal. Johnny: his name is Johnny, and he's dressed in Black, like a certain legend of country music. Jack O and her mask are tributes to Helloween (specifically their mascot/logo), the German band that created Power Metal, and Ky Kiske is a tribute to the band's founders, Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske. Slayer and Venom are obvious, Chipp Zanuff's name is based on the band Enuff Z'nuff, and Kuradoberi Jam is from the band Cloudberry Jam. Elphet's Destroyer has many lines of dialogue based on the target, and every character has various responses. Including her saying "shot through the heart!", at least one character responds that she 'gives love a bad name', and Faust can reply that "this is bad medicine!"
Sol Badguy is the best character in the game, don't care, best protagonist ever, btw, Jack-o is "half" of his dead wife, she has both Jack-o and Aria (Sol's wife) souls in her, the story is all about Sol trying to get her back, it's a really cool story and personally, i love It, anyway.. the game is called Guilty Gear because the protagonist is Guilty, and he's a Gear.. that's It lol (Gears are a species of the game, they are hard to explain, but look at them as some sort of op entity)
Great reaction!!, also I would like to recommend for a Friday Fight reaction for you to react to Killer instinct 2013 Finishers: Killer Instinct 2013 (PC & Xbox One) Finishers - Ultra Combos, Ultimates (Fatalities)
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yes there. There’s EVO Moment 37 that’s shows the fight between Daigo and Justin Wong at EVO 2004. Plus there are in detail videos on how and why that moment became famous.
Depending on how interested you are in the series or fighting games in general, check out some guilty gear evo moments. This game is sick in the professional scene. My personal favorite (and what made me pick up the series) is tomo vs ogawa
So Guilty Gear has a TON of lore to it, like it's amazing how much lore this fighting game has like this has as much if not more lore than KOF and Street Fighter put together it's that extensive. However there is one instant kill missing and it's Sol Badguy's second instant kill yes he has two. Guilty Gear XRD Rev 2 does have a huge story mode and you can watch the complete thing as a move on ARC sys channel.
Nice! Thanks for the info. Though I’d we see story mode we would probably want to get an English Dub version 🤔 Is that in the channel you recommended 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Sadly no it's all in Japanese they tried doing English Dub with the original version of this game and people were very... not receptive of it. But don't worry it's not done in cutscenes but more of an advancing series of lines and there's alot of talking so you'll be able to see what they're saying. So if you plan on watching the story you should watch the Guilty Gear Xrd Sign Story first, then the Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator. However there will be some context missing as certain character arcade endings contribute to the overall story. I would suggest asking chat to find a video containing absolutely everything I'll look myself but to keep in mind. The story mode of both game is over 4 hours long.
This game is awesome just wished they showed all characters reaction to Dizzy instant kill, Faust instant kill, and May instant kill since each one has a unique reaction.
I reccomend looking at guilty gear strive. Potemkin went from looking cartoony robot, to big iron behemoth that will take half of your health in 1 grab
You should watch the Critical Finishers for Soul Calibur 4 and Soul Calibur 5. They have some cool characters and designs. Also some characters u will be surprised are in the game.
Sweet, one of my favorite fighting franchises, non other than Guilty Gear. Also if you’re wondering, these are the same devs who created Dragon Ball FighterZ, Arc System works are a one of a kind. I love all the characters of the Guilty Gear series but my absolute favorite is Sol Badguy, he’s partially the reason for why things came to be. He himself is a Gear: Sentient biological weapons with unlimited energy, though he’s a prototype, he’s strong. He’s suppresses his true strength by wearing that red head band on his head which is a gear suppressed device, to keep him in check. He’s also over 150 years old.
So the plot of Guilty Gear is that there is a war between humans and gears which are living weapons of mass destruction like you saw with Dizzy. Sol was a scientist (& later crusader and half-gear) before who worked on Gears with That Man and Sol's girlfriend Aria (who would later be turned by TM into a gear named Justice...which "Holy Order" Crusader Sol would later destroy along with Ky and Klif...and even more later would partially come back as Jack-O). Dizzy is the daughter of Justice. Japan was destroyed by the Terminator-esque gears and its citizens became refugees (Anji & Baiken) and wanted criminals which the government wanted to be quarantined to the colonies since Japanese people became an endangered rarity. Zato-1 is the leader of the Assassin Order alongside Milia and Venom (who loves Zato). He sadly died and his body was consumed by his shadow Eddie becoming a ravenous beast (mostly cuz his voice actor died). Then he later was resurrected in Xrd SIGN/Rev2... Johnny is the boss of Jellyfish Pirates and May (pirate girl) is his second in command. May found Dizzy and made her join Johnny's crew for a while until some edgelord gear guy named Testament wanted to get her back. He failed. To make things weirder is that because of Dizzy being quickly mature physical-wise but still kid young mental-wise (5 years old iirc), Ky decided to marry her. Sin (eyepatch flag kid) is their son. Slayer is the oldest and most badass fighter in the Guilty Gearverse. He's a vampire and the founder of the Assassin Order which Zato currently rules. Faust's story is tragic. Originally named Dr Baldhead, he was the most successful doctor in history....nobody died under his watch... that is until a young girl died and the went on a murderous rampage (completely berserk and insane) which ended when he found out that the girl didnt die because of him but was assassinated instead. Now he goes around the world and helps people to atone for his crimes. Axl-Low is actually a time traveller and Raven is his alter ego from the future/or a parallel universe. This Raven is pretty...uhhh...masochistic for battle to say the least. Like I-No, he works for That Man. Kum is an android master of martial arts with a harp girl piloting him. Ramlethal and Elphelt are clones made from Aria's DNA and are related to the original Valentine which was destroyed by Sol. They are still sisters. Ramlethal was the arcade mode final boss antagonist of GG Xrd SIGN. Chipp Zanuff is the US president that in his early life dealt with narcotics and considered himself Japanese...even though he wasnt all thanks of his master who saved his life. Answer is his staff manager. Leo Whitefang is the co-leader of a country (alongside Ky). Potemkin is the subordinate of Gabriel...who is the leader of a floating nation named Zepp...and an old friend of Slayer. Potemkin was enslaved before but Gabriel set him free. Baiken lost her eye and arm as a kid as she watched people getting slaughtered by gears. Thus she swore revenge on gears and is now on the run so she wont get sent to a colony. Bedman is a villain. A boy tied to a chair who cannot wake up in reality otherwise he dies (which eventually happened spoiler alert) thus operates in the dream world. A genius with a high IQ and an insufferable personality. Jam Kuradoberi is a chef looking to get some money to build a new house or dojo since hers got rekt during a fight.
That is a ton of lore indeed 😯 crazy story with lots going on for sure. Still love the name Jellyfish Pirates and if I start a band that will be our name 🙂
Some corrections: Slayer is Romanian like me. Oh and Milia also loves Zato. And Bedman has a sister named Delilah. And there's also a robotic version of Ky named Robo-Ky. My bad I meant bed not chair for the Bedman bit. JfP would be cool as a band.
First time watching the video and my 1st thought was "oh this is very anime" lmao. Even as an anime fan myself, my brain cant comprehend what is going on
A quick explanation of Jam and her Instant Kill (20:26):
Jam is a renowned super prodigy of both martial arts and cooking. However, she has some of the worst luck in existence. She started her cooking career selling her food from a food cart, saved up enough money to buy a building and make it a restaurant, and shortly after it was burned down by a mysterious arsonist. And she has gone through this same cycle multiple times. In Rev 2, she has recently lost yet another restaurant.
In the actual instant kill, she begins doing what is expected of a martial arts finishing move, then you can see her thoughts drift to her most recent loss, another hard-earned and beloved restaurant reduced to rubble, and then she puts all her sadness and frustration into the final attack.
Damn. Poor Jam. 😢
It's called GASENKOTSU and she shout Tenjo tenge yuiga dokuson she's really prideful of her skill
Ohhhh! I thought she accidentally destroyed her own place and took it out on you
Btw, every Instant Kill has the opponent give different reaction, the girl with the reaper and angel's instant kill has some hilarious surrenders, as well as May's Instant Kill!
Plus Faust is quite a master at Plastic surgery, he does all kinds of surgery on many other people with his instant kill!
@@QtAsteri theres a whole video for reaction to Faust! It's really easy to find them because of how hilarious they are!
That’s cool that they change up the reactions based on characters 😀
chipps reaction to Dizzy's instant kill is hilarious
Fun facts
Chipp (white-haired ninja guy) used to be a junkie, but now he's the president of his own country (called Eastern Chipp Kingdom)
Bedman is the Freddy Krueger of Guilty Gear. He's comatose, making his bed-robot do the fighting for him in the real world, but kills people in their dreams
Dizzy is a pacifist (as shown when she actively tries to stop Necro's (demon wing) attack because it'd destroy the opponent), only fighting when absolutely necessary, especially because she's crazy powerful. Also, each character will have different reactions to her "Surrender" move.
Also, each character reacts differently in some of the insta-kills, like Bedman's (where each character is killed by their own fears and bad things from the past), or May's (where each character will have different reactions to being put in the cannon. Some will be scared, others won't even be bothered, and Leo will encourage May to shoot as high as the moon so he can look cool during that)
We’ve been told about Faust and Dizzy and May having different reactions to their insta kills but hadn’t heard about Bedman before and those seem the lost interesting. Seeing peoples nightmares 😀😁😈
The extreme amount of confusion in this video is great. That's why this franchise is great 😂. Also yeah this game is very breast heavy😂
"Plot" heavy
no more of those in the new one, sadly
@@kerob-sx6kx so we gonna act like Baiken, I-No, Giovanna, and Jack-O aren't in the game?
Facts🤣🤣
@@b9morion oh crap my apologies i did not mean the plot i mean the destruction specials are no longer in the new game . My bad
The "Surrender" thing was a reference to playable Dizzy not having an Instant Kill in the older Guilty Gear games (except as a boss...and the one in Accent Core which was impossible to input...and kinda lame).
Thanks for explaining that 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Don't mention it.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames the funny part is every character have is own reaction to that attack , some are rly funny
I did not expect my characters compilation video to be reacted to but thanks for the reaction!
Our pleasure. We get linked to vids to react to when we don’t know the franchise and this one was most recommended so you did a really great job with it. We linked to the vid in our description and hopefully it drove a few more eyeballs to your channel. 🙂
Sol and Ky are the "perennial Ken and Ryu" of the series with a twist; Sol as the first gear wants to destroy the rest, Ky believes Gears can be rehabilitated and brought back into society.
😎👍😀
Also he married and had a kid with one. Dizzy is his wife and Sin is his son.
@@gilessaint-loup2426 And Sin is in some sort the Apprentice of Sol who is also the Father of Dizzy (so Sin Grandfather and Ky Father in Law) and Jack-O (or at least the gear Justice which Jack-O is the counterpart) and by Being a Valentine Jack-O is in some sorts the Sister of Ramlethal and Elphelt because the 3 are copies or Aria Hale who was Sol Fiancé but Ramlethal and Elphelt were created by the universal Will and Jack-O by That Man
Yeah, the lore is kinda complex also, Dizzy by being an Half Gear is 9 and Sin 5
This is a very welcome surprise
EDIT: I'd recommend the sister series, BlazBlue or BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle for their Astral Finishes.
Also, Guilty Gear is a game of "guess the metal references." Elphelt is Guns and Roses, Sol Badguy is Freddie Mercury (yes, really), and my personal favorite is Venom. There's Zato=1 and the shadow Eddie (Van Halen) who even have a reference to the song Shadow Gallery by Venom to show their relationship... It's goofy.
Also as for pirates, that's Johnny and May. She serves under him in a flying pirate ship orphanage thing...
Eddie could also probably be a reference to Iron Maiden's mascot, Eddie the Head.
Oh nice. So the references to bands was intentional. Love it 🙂😎🤟
@@sharzinlalebazri5673
Would totally fit, I believe Millia's Instant Kill is called Iron Maidem.
Guilty Gear is by definition "Coolness made into a game"
😎🤟😀
Some of them have multiple responses based on the target. Namely Elphelt, Faust, May, and ESPECIALLY Dizzy, because everyone has a surrender response. Also, Ky and Dizzy are married and Sin is their son.
And so are Sol and Jack-O
Nice. Thanks for the info on that 😀
@@TheAngryMoth104 not by that point (if they ever did it officially after strive, that is)
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Ramlethal also has a crush on Leo, and Baiken (the one-armed samurai) has some flirty history with another character named Aanji
slayer’s instant kill contains a haiku randomly generated from a set selection of voice lines, leading to ones that either sound beautiful or make zero sense.
he is also possibly the canonically strongest character in the entire series, and his wife is immortal.
Also you gotta see Faust & Dizzy's Instant Kills from Rev on all characters. Those ones are hilarious.
We’ve heard we need to check those out 😁
1:37 Basically, Haehyun fights by piloting a big robot suit, shaped like an old muscular man. In her noral victory animation, she ends up accidentally pressing the "Emergency Ejection" button, and ends up being shot out of the robot's chest.
One thing I love about this game in particular is how many unique interactions it has. Every single character has a different win-screen quote for every single other character, and there are tons of Instant Kills where every character has a different reaction when you perform it on them - for example, everyone says something different when stuck in May's cannon, everyone has a different exchange with Sin when they're flying through the air, and everyone has Faust do something different to their face. There are also lots of characters with story relationships who get little extra bits when one uses an Instant Kill on the other. For example, the idea behind Dizzy's is that she's effectively a living weapon of mass destruction, but is a pacifist who doesn't want to kill anyone and struggles to control her powers. So she stops herself from shooting the enemy at the last minute, so instead of being "Destroyed", they're so scared after seeing the explosion she causes that they surrender instead - but if you use it on Ky, who's her husband, instead of a terrified expression, he has hearts in eyes.
So, fun fact, almost every character in this series is named after a reference to rock and metal music. Sol Badguy's real name is Frederick, he's named after Freddie Mercury and his alias comes from Mercury's first solo (SOL-o) album being named "Mr. Bad Guy". May is named after another member of Queen, Brian May. Ky Kiske is named after Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske, two members of the German metal band Helloween, whose mascot, Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O's name and mask design come from. Millia Rage is named after a band called Meliah Rage. Zato-1 is instead named after a famous Japanese film character, Zatoichi the blind samurai ("ichi" is Japanese for "one"), but the demon that lives in his shadow is named Eddie, after the famous mascot character of Iron Maiden, Eddie the Head. Chipp Zanuff is named after a band called Enuff Znuff and designed after Billy Idol. Axl Low and Dizzy are named after Axl Rose and Dizzy Reed from Guns 'n' Roses. Johnny is named and designed after Johnny Cash. Venom and Slayer both share their names with bands. I-No is named after Brian Eno, but her design comes form a Japanese singer named Shiina Ringo. And there are so, so many more references, in names of characters, abilities/moves, stages, and even more obscure details.
I would highly recommend checking out the Overdrives for this game and also the sequel STRIVE, which are the in-gameplay special moves, as opposed to cinematic finishers like these. I would also recommend checking out BlazBlue, the other original fighting game series made by the same company (which was originally supposed to replace Guilty Gear when they temporarily lost the rights to it), specifically BlazBlue: Central Fiction, the last canon game, which has every character in the series. That series has a lot of different types of super moves: Distortion Drives and Exceed Accels are the special moves that are used in fights, and Astral Heats are the cinematic finishers equivalent to GG's Instant Kills.
Thanks for all the info on GG! We have Guilty Gear Strive character trailers coming this Friday 😀 and plan to check out more as well 🙂
I love how every character and their attack's are all references to different musicians and songs. I mean the main character Sol is basically Freddie Mercury.
😎🤟😀
Awesome, never go wrong with some good ole Guilty Gear.
😎🤟🥳
So the thing with Dizzy (17:14) is she doesn't want to fight which is why during her "insta kill" she doesn't actually hurt you she just scares the ever living shit out of you by showing you what she could do to you but she gives you a chance to surrender and obviously the opponent takes it
I still love how Slayer reacts to the attack. Just **Shrug** whatever.
Ah okay. Thanks for explaining that part 🙂
Chipp Zanuff (The white-haired ninja guy who summoned copies of himself) is definetly NOT LAME. Here's some backstory if you care to read (or skim) through it.
Also the game has some different dialogue between characters after a fight, so maybe you'd react to that one day.
Born in the U.S. during the Crusades (which was basically a hundred-year World War between humans and living magical weapons) Chipp was orphaned shortly after birth. From a very young age, he struggled to make a living in the streets and got addicted to drugs. In order to secure a regular supply of them, he became a dealer for the Mafia. After years of punishing his body with all manner of narcotics, he finally broke down and was to be "disposed" of by the organization.
Chipp fled from the Mafia. His pursuers were quickly dispatched by one man, but Chipp fell over and knocked himself out. He woke up in the care of Tsuyoshi, who rescued him but also took his drug stock away. To no avail, Chipp attacked Tsuyoshi to take them back for an entire month. Now completely sober, Chipp realized that he followed Tsuyoshi for another reason, owing him a debt, and asked to be his apprentice. Chipp became a student at the ninja's dojo and trained body and soul in the ways of the shinobi.
They lived peacefully together until the Assassin's Guild ordered Tsuyoshi's death for his betrayal. Chipp and Tsuyoshi were training in the mountains when they felt the assassins coming, and they split up. Chipp later realized the main force were after Tsuyoshi. He returned to find the assassins dead and Tsuyoshi dying. Tsuyoshi berated Chipp for coming back for him, and wanted Chipp to promise he would walk away and live his own life. Tsuyoshi passed away with a smile, telling Chipp "I'm glad you're alive."
After beating the guild who killed Tsuyoshi, Chipp makes peace with the leader and says that he wants to make a difference and create a peaceful world and replace the lawlessness that was caused by the war, and the best way to do that is to become the president of a nation. He convinces the guild to help him if he succeeds.
In the following years, Chipp was travelling when he came upon a rather lawless area in southern Africa that saw little aid after the Crusades.
Chipp managed to restore some level of order and reformed it into the Eastern Chipp Kingdom, with himself as the President.
The population is roughly in the tens of thousands, and their hearts have been captured by their charismatic president.
Also, as Tsuyoshi was Japanese, Chipp possesses a great love of Japan, (which had been destroyed by the war) and even claims to have been born there, but his image of the country is largely idealized and has little to do with reality.
Chipp's non-Japanese origin is given away by his speech: some of his lines during combat consist only of Japanese words known to foreigners ("harakiri", "kamikaze", "sushi", "sukiyaki", "Fujiyama geisha", etc.), and whenever he is surprised he will exclaim "What?" in japanese.
There is one obvious fault: Chipp's implementation of Japanese Culture Studies into his nations general education curriculum. Most of the information he projects is wrong.
Chipp also got his own staff, led by Answer, the red-masked snake-guy talking on the phone.
Chipp is my main! The dude is awesome!
@@Ironmanx37 facts
Damn. Good job giving Chipp his dues 😀 Mafia, assassins guild, presidency. Chipp has seen the world 😯
ok take it easy. Pretty sure they werent around for the past other games that had visual novel long info on the whole story and for that characters involvement
the reason why bedman is in that bed is because he is so smart his brain will essentially fry itself because it cant process everything so he stays asleep and lets the bed do all the fighting also he has a sister whos coming in strive
How nice for this to come out on my birthday. Guilty Gear is one of my favorite franchises. It's world and characters are so fun and interesting. It's definitely a lot to take in if you're brand new. Raven is my favorite character. Despite his appearance, he's actually quite a nice guy. He also happens to be a sadomasochist because he's lived so long that pain is the only thing he can feel.
Happy birthday!🎉🎂🎁 Belated at this point 🤗
Dizzy is always good, especially when you watch everyone's reactions. Poses/animations are for Jack-O. There is a WHOLE MEME around her crouch animation now, and back walk animation is adorable where she hops up on to the ball and rides it in reverse.
😎👍🙂
it was awesome seeing the reaction you two have to this weird game.
if you're looking for equally weird suggestions, astral finishes in blazblue crosstag, or block busters in skullgirls 2nd encore, are both good bets
Skullgirls is definitely in our radar and blazblue as well 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames some of blazblue’s astral finishes have versions for each character- namely relius’ “the puppeteer’s altar” and amane’s “jyatoku meika: gouha houyou”. amane’s in particular is very fun :)
I forgot how crazy guilty gear was LOL. I haven't played since X2 on the ps2 but man was it fun! Great reaction as always!
It is definitely whacky 😛😂
the demon that Zato wields is called Eddy, slayer got a diffrent instant kill for the whole cast because he tells haikyus to all of them, faust fights with a giant scalpel and his instant kill also has diffrent outcomes on the whole cast, dizzys instant kill also has some different facial expressions on the cast and the badguy in this game is called That Man
It’s cool that some of them have unique reactions depending on who they perform it on 😀
You guys should react to the newest game (Guilty Gear Strive) if you haven't already. That game is great too, although that one doesn't have insta kills, but it does have intros, outros, and cool supers. They increased the graphics a TON in that one.
We haven’t seen the new one yet. Will be nice to see the updated graphics 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yes the new one has amazing graphics
whoa guys, guilty gear!!! now THIS is a rabbit hole worth diving into!
it's got lore so deep you'll need a few videos to wade through... and neat thing is there's a bunch of fans who made some great stuff about it!
recommending that series by WoolieVersus, he did a pretty nice and thorough one
ooh and just to add, many of these finishers are customized depending on who's on the receiving end, some of the reactions are hilarious!
(some folks also collected compilations of those variations, worth a watch too!)
Thanks for the channel rec on this game 🙂
I was so waiting for you guys to react to Guilty Gear Instant kills. And it couldn’t have come at a better time. Thanks for literally making my day!
Our pleasure 🥳🥳😀😊🤗
also, since Ken seemed to like Raven and Raven is my main, here is some basic info about him:
Raven was originally a human German soldier from the time of Holy Roman Empire's reign (presumably the 5th crusade) who got shot by multiple arrows to what was supposed to be his death. but instead of dying he got transported into a white space and then was forced to feel the maximum amount of pain that a human can feel before awakening in a pool of his own blood.
from that moment on Raven stopped aging and nothing could wound, let alone kill him. Raven even had multiple attempts of... "self unaliving" (hence the giant screw in his forehead) which all failed, giving him a masochistic desire for feeling pain and a longing for a death he could never have.
at some point in his eternal life, he went to a village to help people. sometimes curing the sick and wounded, sometimes doing chores and other times overthrowing tyrants, the last one caused him to be sentenced to death and publicly executed multiple times but of course, none of them worked. and every time he casually walked away from being executed, people treated it like a miracle until everyone in the village saw him as a god.
after a while the words of how good he was reached other places and people from other villages and cities asked for his help, which caused Raven to leave that village to help people in other places. after a while he returned to that village expecting a warm welcome back but realized that the people there blamed him for everything wrong that happened while he was gone. in his own words, he realized he was nothing more than a glorified repairman.
that experience left him apathetic and depressed, but a few centuries later, he found "That Man" and pledged allegiance to him. becoming pretty much That Man's right hand man and one of That Man's only friends.
Remember the time, when everyone were sure Raven is Axl Low from alternative reality or the future? Good times
@@AmadeyAzalin lol. and now some people say Axl might be an alternate dimension Billy Kane.
That man’s right hand man haha, funny sequence there but really enjoyed learning more about Raven 😀
Guilty Gear is an awesome series and I’m glad y’all are reacting to it!! Excited to know if you plan to do more with the series ^^
We will check out more at some point 😀
Like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, the Guilty Gear characters are references to various singers and bands.
Fun trivia bit: Sol Badguy's favorite band is Queen btw.
Nice! We’ve been told to check out some JoJo as well 🙂
It's terrific, that you finally got acquainted with best fighting franchise. But too bad, that you won't see truly glorious characters of past games that are Brigit, Robo-Ky and Zappa, since they are absent from later games (they do cameo in plot though iirc)
Also, some small additions
There were told, that Sol Badguy's favourite band is Queen, and his real name from before he became Badguy was Frederic... yeah.
Sin is Ky Kiske and Dizzy's son, which makes him ultra-powerful (due to Dizzy being living super-weapon) and also prince (due to Ky being King of the nation by the time of his birth - not bad career from Chief of Police in old games), but he has rowdy manners and laid-back personality since he was raised by Sol because of important reasons... and Sol is bad model, to pu it mildly.
Slayer is oldest vampire in setting, former boss and founder of League of Assassins, and has immortal wife. That's why he drinks her blood before battle nad she is alive by the end of battle. Also, haiku at the end of his Instant Kill is randomly generated, which is hilarious, since it may be complete nonsense and destroyed enemies still say, that it's beautiful or sophisticated.
Zato-ONE is dead-for-two-games-now-alive-again boss of League of Assassins, and he predicatably has identity crisis. In GG2 generation we were playing by his pet shadow Eddie that just dragged Zato's corpse around as vessel. Doesn't help he is a little bit sociopathic and wants new body.
Millia Rage is former Assassin, was in love with Zato and also her hair is her deadly weapon.
Venom is Zato's heir as boss of Assassins, he was saved by him and understandably has a little bit (very much) of crush on him, which doesn't help since Zato was dead for like 3 games.
Faust is insane but mostly good-natured illegal doctor that operates on Rule of Funny and Cartoon Logic as whole character design. He is also former serial killer. Kinda. He wasn't himself back in the day.
Jack-O, Elphelt and Ramlethal are walking spoilers for last two GG.
Bedman is... how to put it? He invades people dreams as nightmare and also dreaming himself in real time, more or less one of the most powerful characters of the game and villain of the game. Well, not main one, but kinda like brute that is killed in very inhuman manner at the end of the film. Only he isn't killed, iirc.
Johnny Sfondi is most notorious Flying Pirate of the setting with female-only crew (May is part of it). He is probably one of the most skilled non supernatural characters in game.
Leo is Ky Kiske co-King, so that's why he cite laws and has royal guard.
I-No is walking spoiler for entire franchise
Jam Kuradoberi became Bounty Hunter to earn money to open restaurant in old games... apparentely, this restaurant was ruined and now she does it again
“Faust is insane but mostly good natured” haha, loved that description. Thanks for telling us more about the characters 😀
3:00 Fainting via nosebleed. Its an anime thing.
You have no idea how much I was waiting for it
☺️😊🤗🥳
Ohhh yeahhhhhh, One of my requests has finally been fulfilled. I love you guys, your energy is astonishingly amazing
😎🤟🥳 glad you enjoyed the reaction 😀
Also whats funny is Sol Badguy is the main protagonist of the franchise. XD
They tricked us with the name 😂
I absolutely adore Jack-o! One of my favorite fighting game characters ever. She's pretty nuts and a total blast to play!
She seems like a fun character 😀
I don’t know if you guys have ever considered reacting to music but guilty gear has some of the most interesting music I have ever heard. I think you guys would enjoy reacting to the music of guilty gear strive, which is the newest game in the series, it has some really great music
We do some music in our other channel that focuses on stuff outside of games 🙂
The girl inside the old man accidentally pressed the eject button.
Haha okay, we were wondering what the hell happened there 😂
3:35 Sol Badguy wasn't his name. His real name is Frederick.
Sol Badguy is better name 🙂 smart to change it
Sol is a reference to Freddy Mercury, his name is sol badguy because the only solo album Freddy released was the bad guy, so sol badguy
So the deal with that one girl Baiken with the long red ponytail and eyepatch is that she's a wandering samurai because her whole style is based on those old Japanese samurai fighting movies called the Chanbara genre. Including with the settings in her intros and the narrator that talks while she's on screen, she's missing her right eye and right arm too
Thanks for giving us some more info on Baiken 🙂
Johnny is the captain of the Jellyfish Pirates which May is the first mate. The crew mostly composed of girls which named after "months" of the year.
Jellyfish Pirates is an amazing name 😀
There’s actually a video that is just everyone be fired out of May’s cannon and everyone has a different reaction and voice lines. Well worth the watch
Thanks for the recommendation 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames no problem!
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Also each member of the Jellyfish Air Pirates are named after the calendar months, also when Johnny rescued them.
LOL the first one. She was so turned on by multiple possibilities she blacked out in her own victory pose 😂😂😂
😂🤗
You two are absolutely hilarious 😂
Thanks. 😊🤗
3:42 his name is Sol Badguy but he's the good guy lmao
They tricked us with the clever name 😂
Guilty Gear is a series I have never played but find interesting and strange. The earlier games has some sick backstory, but then it just devolves into the basic anime stuff.
Yeah, guilty gear is known for its ridiculous character designs and animations lol. This game was actually pretty revolutionary, no other game at the time had an art style and animation quite like it and some of the developers actually held a conference where they taught people how they did it
Nice little background info on the game 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The previous guilty gear games were 2D and used sprites, while this game had 3D character models but was animated in a way to look like it was still 2D and hand drawn. Here’s that conference video I was talking about th-cam.com/video/yhGjCzxJV3E/w-d-xo.html
They also have a Sequel already, it's Called *"Guilty Gear Strive"*
😎👍😀 We will have to check it out at some point 🙂
Guilty Gear.
The only videogame series that I found out about it on a gaming magazine. Great times!
Haha, nice! 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It all happened in 2007.
Sin Kiske: Son of the Ky kiske and Dizzy. Grandson of Sol.
Dizzy: Daughter Of Sol Badguy. Wife of Ky kiske.
😎👍🙂
for clarity
sin kiske is ky kiske's son,
he's named sin because ky is a very catholic frenchman and was deeply self loathing up to and for a time after sin's birth
Thanks for clearing that up for us 🙂
Also Slayer recited a haiku while sending the opponent in space with ONE PUUUUUUUUUNCH.
Genuinely speaking, I could ask you to react to GG music, as it is legendary enough that people tend to joke that the game is there to promote the album. Which, funny enough, is all done by Daisuke Ishiwatari, who is also the producer AND Art Director of the game! (The guy is fascinating, not gonna lie)
Then again, I'm not sure of heavy rock is to your liking, and it might open the floodgates to people asking you to listen all kinds of music.
So instead, try to see the following Instant Kill variation videos, if you can:
- Faust Stimulating Fist
- Faust "Is this me" Instant Kill
- Potemkin Buster
- Elphelt "Magnum Wedding"
- Venom "Giga Machina System"
- Bedman "Nightmare Theater"
- May "And Then She Said Farewell!"
- Sin "Raiden"
- And of course, highly requested, Dizzy's Instant Kill
All of these moves show custom reaction of each character being used on. And funny enough, same thing happens its sequel "GGStrive".
If you need help finding those videos, I can scout them for you! ;)
Music will be in our other channel we started th-cam.com/users/DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 We try to keep this one just to games.
Thanks for the video suggestions 😀 Can we easily find them searching the titles? If so then we can handle that. But if there will be multiple videos to choose from and you know specific vids then feel free to send us links on here, instagram (link in description of video) or sending us an email 😅

It would have been less confusing. But Man DID I ENJOY THIS ONE! The dood named Sol Badguy. His name is a reference to a Freddy Mercury Album. And the Girl in the wedding Dress. Her Whole look is a reference to GUNS n ROSES. The GUILTY GEAR SERIES Is a GIANT Homage to HEAVY METAL and ROCK N ROLL. I LOVE IT!!!!
That’s pretty cool that they did that. So you’re saying Strive is less confusing? Haha, where is the fun in that 😜
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames HA! Fare enough
The ninja guy (Chipp) is ironically the president of the USA in the Guilty Gear universe
Edit: So i got something wrong, Chipp is the president of a nation, but not the US. Also Potemkin is my favorite

You guys should check out the destiny cinematics, explains the story a lot more
Yup. We plan to check out more Destiny stuff in the future 😊
Should follow up with the 5 minute video of everyone's reaction to Dizzy's instant kill finisher. They all have hilarious reactions to the mushroom cloud explosion in the distance. One of em even points at it XD
You should absolutely see the character trailers from the latest game Guilty Gear Strive. Guilty gear is absolutely amazing and id love to see more reactions from this series.
We do enjoy some good character trailers 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames also if you want to understand the convoluted lore i recommend Woolieversus' series on the lore
I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS ONE FOR SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG!!!!
also you could probably check out all the Astral Finishes from the Blazblue series. Blazblue is made by the same company that developed Guilty Gear (Arc System Works) and it was a spiritual successor / temporary replacement for when they kinda lost the legal rights to most of their characters.
Glad we finally got to it for you ☺️
Dizzy is my favorite. By the way the Dev who made the Guilty Gear series made also Dragon Ball FighterZ. Love their animations
Oh cool. We can see some similarities there 🙂
Would be cool if you react to KOF XIII supers, those are really well made too
Oh, and check out KIller Instinct (2013 one to be more specific)
Plan to check out both at some point 🙂
7:57
May is like: "Get the hell off my ship!" and throws them into airlock.
You guys should do one for Samurai Shodown too. It's one hell of a diverse cast and supers, both of which will surprise you 😉
We have it on our request list to check out at some point 😇
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames As I recall, one of the latest Samurai Shodown sequels includes a crossover character: Baiken from the 'Guilty Gear' games, seen here (in this video) on the receiving end of all this punishment. So you might not be done watching Baiken getting pwned yet! 😁
Gotta love the fact they called Sin a pirate despite him being a Prince and then the character after that, Johnny, is an actual pirate who they proceed to call a cowboy 😂
just so u know, Millia Rage uses her Hair as weapon, that should explain her ultimate a little.
And Answer is Chip's assistant in running his country, even during battles he's constantly on the magi-phone talking to ppl till his hp drops below half, then he gets serious.
And the girl Slayer bit is his immortal wife, who's somehow immune to his vampire curse so they married.
About Dizzy's ultimate, hers is different for every character she fights against, with all reacting differently.
As for Bedman, he has to sleep couse if he stays awake to long he dies, so his bed does the fighting while he gives commentary from a different dimention.
Bedman is such a whacky character but interesting and unique for sure. Thanks for giving us some more info on these characters 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Anytime! for games like this, its quite handy.
I also have a suggestion, the story of this game is actually one big anime, no gameplay at all, so if u want to do something different, go get the game cheap and watch it, its at around a hour and a half long if u add the afterstories to it.
I love watching guilty gear newcomers react in abject confusion to what's going on on screen. Trust me, as someone who was in your place a couple years ago I know exactly how you feel.
Haha, glad you know how we feel 🤗😛
Hey you guys should check out the game SMITE you guys can watch, God reveals, launch trailers, and other stuff by them.
Do plan to eventually check out that game 😅
Nothing like Fight Night Fridays with Ken and Beth on a Friday night.
God my life sucks 😂😭
Nah. You’re all good 🤗 As long as you’re having fun 🙂
Daisuke Ishiwatari (the creator and character designer of the series) loves cute girls, heavy guitars and classic metal. Oh, and he wrote all the music and played the guitar on it. Pretty much every character is overloaded with references to classic rock and metal.
Johnny: his name is Johnny, and he's dressed in Black, like a certain legend of country music.
Jack O and her mask are tributes to Helloween (specifically their mascot/logo), the German band that created Power Metal, and Ky Kiske is a tribute to the band's founders, Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske.
Slayer and Venom are obvious, Chipp Zanuff's name is based on the band Enuff Z'nuff, and Kuradoberi Jam is from the band Cloudberry Jam.
Elphet's Destroyer has many lines of dialogue based on the target, and every character has various responses. Including her saying "shot through the heart!", at least one character responds that she 'gives love a bad name', and Faust can reply that "this is bad medicine!"
Love all the references in there for songs 😀😎🤟
Sol Badguy is the best character in the game, don't care, best protagonist ever, btw, Jack-o is "half" of his dead wife, she has both Jack-o and Aria (Sol's wife) souls in her, the story is all about Sol trying to get her back, it's a really cool story and personally, i love It, anyway.. the game is called Guilty Gear because the protagonist is Guilty, and he's a Gear.. that's It lol (Gears are a species of the game, they are hard to explain, but look at them as some sort of op entity)
They went really specific in the title haha. They could’ve only been more on the nose if the title was “I am a Guilty Gear” 😂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames they went easy on the title but not on the songs, they went hard af on those tracks
there is another game like this, the name is "DNF Duel" you can react, all intros, supers and victory poses
Another one to add to our list 🙂
Huh, nice way to introduce yourself to this Series.
Great reaction!!, also I would like to recommend for a Friday Fight reaction for you to react to Killer instinct 2013 Finishers: Killer Instinct 2013 (PC & Xbox One) Finishers - Ultra Combos, Ultimates (Fatalities)
That’s a game for sure in our request list for a future fight night Friday 🙂
You maniacs. You’re really doing Guilty Gear? Awesome!
You should listen to Guilty Gear soundtrack in your free-time. It’s great!
We will try and check it out some time 🙂
For fight night Friday you guys need to react to the videos related to the Daigo parry.
I second this
Are those official tournament fights? 😢
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yes there. There’s EVO Moment 37 that’s shows the fight between Daigo and Justin Wong at EVO 2004. Plus there are in detail videos on how and why that moment became famous.
Depending on how interested you are in the series or fighting games in general, check out some guilty gear evo moments. This game is sick in the professional scene. My personal favorite (and what made me pick up the series) is tomo vs ogawa
We may eventually get into some tournament play for these fighting games 🙂
Lol that is Guilty Gear for you!!! Glad that you enjoyed it!!
It was definitely an experience 😀😛
So Guilty Gear has a TON of lore to it, like it's amazing how much lore this fighting game has like this has as much if not more lore than KOF and Street Fighter put together it's that extensive.
However there is one instant kill missing and it's Sol Badguy's second instant kill yes he has two.
Guilty Gear XRD Rev 2 does have a huge story mode and you can watch the complete thing as a move on ARC sys channel.
Nice! Thanks for the info. Though I’d we see story mode we would probably want to get an English Dub version 🤔 Is that in the channel you recommended 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Sadly no it's all in Japanese they tried doing English Dub with the original version of this game and people were very... not receptive of it. But don't worry it's not done in cutscenes but more of an advancing series of lines and there's alot of talking so you'll be able to see what they're saying.
So if you plan on watching the story you should watch the Guilty Gear Xrd Sign Story first, then the Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator. However there will be some context missing as certain character arcade endings contribute to the overall story. I would suggest asking chat to find a video containing absolutely everything I'll look myself but to keep in mind. The story mode of both game is over 4 hours long.
This game is awesome just wished they showed all characters reaction to Dizzy instant kill, Faust instant kill, and May instant kill since each one has a unique reaction.
Maybe we will try and find a vid that shows those 🙂
This was dope, cant wait for you to check out Strives Supers, tho no IKs in that game, yet, the supers are extra cinematic
😎👍😀 glad you enjoyed the vid and we look forward to eventually seeing GG strive supers
I reccomend looking at guilty gear strive.
Potemkin went from looking cartoony robot, to big iron behemoth that will take half of your health in 1 grab
Look forward to seeing the updated version 🙂
Now you guys need to see the Blazblue finishers.
On our request list to check out eventually 🙂
You should check out Strive and their songs. They're all bopping.
Plan to check out more in this franchise like the Strive game 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames don't forget the songs, it shows their characters are.
You should watch the Critical Finishers for Soul Calibur 4 and Soul Calibur 5. They have some cool characters and designs. Also some characters u will be surprised are in the game.
Plan to check out that franchise eventually 🙂
JOJO EYES OF HEAVEN, DUAL-HEAT ATTACK IS A MUST WATCH 🔥🔥🔥
Will add it to our list along with JoJos all star battle 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames such amazing individuals you guys are 🔥
Sweet, one of my favorite fighting franchises, non other than Guilty Gear. Also if you’re wondering, these are the same devs who created Dragon Ball FighterZ, Arc System works are a one of a kind. I love all the characters of the Guilty Gear series but my absolute favorite is Sol Badguy, he’s partially the reason for why things came to be. He himself is a Gear: Sentient biological weapons with unlimited energy, though he’s a prototype, he’s strong. He’s suppresses his true strength by wearing that red head band on his head which is a gear suppressed device, to keep him in check. He’s also over 150 years old.
We heard he’s 188 😯 It’s a cool series even if we were super confused by our first taste of it haha
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames 😁👍🏾
Oh yeah also fun fact, Sin Kiske is Ky's and Dizzy's son, he's only 4 / 5 years old during this arc. Reason being, he's part human, part Gear.
Sol Badguy.. who is actually a good guy.. but and the main guy..
Man guilty gear is 👌🏻 especially the music and animation
😎🤟
Me fighting these characters: *GAVE UP ON LIFEE*
🙃
Great reaction 👍👍
Ino is.......death by death metal ! Which is quite literal her killer axe is awesome
Plus a naughty girl who can do a sick guitar solo I've played it
😎🤟 death by death metal. Dig it 😀
いい感じにレイヴンの変態なところが隠れてて草
変態なところも含めてレイヴン大好き
So the plot of Guilty Gear is that there is a war between humans and gears which are living weapons of mass destruction like you saw with Dizzy.
Sol was a scientist (& later crusader and half-gear) before who worked on Gears with That Man and Sol's girlfriend Aria (who would later be turned by TM into a gear named Justice...which "Holy Order" Crusader Sol would later destroy along with Ky and Klif...and even more later would partially come back as Jack-O). Dizzy is the daughter of Justice.
Japan was destroyed by the Terminator-esque gears and its citizens became refugees (Anji & Baiken) and wanted criminals which the government wanted to be quarantined to the colonies since Japanese people became an endangered rarity.
Zato-1 is the leader of the Assassin Order alongside Milia and Venom (who loves Zato). He sadly died and his body was consumed by his shadow Eddie becoming a ravenous beast (mostly cuz his voice actor died). Then he later was resurrected in Xrd SIGN/Rev2...
Johnny is the boss of Jellyfish Pirates and May (pirate girl) is his second in command. May found Dizzy and made her join Johnny's crew for a while until some edgelord gear guy named Testament wanted to get her back. He failed.
To make things weirder is that because of Dizzy being quickly mature physical-wise but still kid young mental-wise (5 years old iirc), Ky decided to marry her.
Sin (eyepatch flag kid) is their son.
Slayer is the oldest and most badass fighter in the Guilty Gearverse. He's a vampire and the founder of the Assassin Order which Zato currently rules.
Faust's story is tragic. Originally named Dr Baldhead, he was the most successful doctor in history....nobody died under his watch... that is until a young girl died and the went on a murderous rampage (completely berserk and insane) which ended when he found out that the girl didnt die because of him but was assassinated instead. Now he goes around the world and helps people to atone for his crimes.
Axl-Low is actually a time traveller and Raven is his alter ego from the future/or a parallel universe. This Raven is pretty...uhhh...masochistic for battle to say the least. Like I-No, he works for That Man.
Kum is an android master of martial arts with a harp girl piloting him.
Ramlethal and Elphelt are clones made from Aria's DNA and are related to the original Valentine which was destroyed by Sol. They are still sisters. Ramlethal was the arcade mode final boss antagonist of GG Xrd SIGN.
Chipp Zanuff is the US president that in his early life dealt with narcotics and considered himself Japanese...even though he wasnt all thanks of his master who saved his life. Answer is his staff manager.
Leo Whitefang is the co-leader of a country (alongside Ky).
Potemkin is the subordinate of Gabriel...who is the leader of a floating nation named Zepp...and an old friend of Slayer. Potemkin was enslaved before but Gabriel set him free.
Baiken lost her eye and arm as a kid as she watched people getting slaughtered by gears. Thus she swore revenge on gears and is now on the run so she wont get sent to a colony.
Bedman is a villain. A boy tied to a chair who cannot wake up in reality otherwise he dies (which eventually happened spoiler alert) thus operates in the dream world. A genius with a high IQ and an insufferable personality.
Jam Kuradoberi is a chef looking to get some money to build a new house or dojo since hers got rekt during a fight.
Oh and Jam runs a successful restaurant. .
Thats all the synopsis I can give.
That is a ton of lore indeed 😯 crazy story with lots going on for sure. Still love the name Jellyfish Pirates and if I start a band that will be our name 🙂
Some corrections:
Slayer is Romanian like me.
Oh and Milia also loves Zato.
And Bedman has a sister named Delilah.
And there's also a robotic version of Ky named Robo-Ky.
My bad I meant bed not chair for the Bedman bit.
JfP would be cool as a band.
I have a suggestion for Fight night Friday "Dead or alive 5 last round all power blows and cliff-hangers"
Will add to our request list. We got some Dead or Alive stuff on there 🙂
Since y'all have watched Total War: Warhammer content, I suggest reacting to Engagingbear's Total War: Warhammer Cinematic videos and rank them.
Hmm. so they aren’t official cinematics just fan made by one person? 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames They capture the true characteristics of the factions and their characters. Just a suggestion for the list.
First time watching the video and my 1st thought was "oh this is very anime" lmao.
Even as an anime fan myself, my brain cant comprehend what is going on
😂 glad we aren’t alone then 🤗
You guys need to react to Faust super in all characters xD
Have heard that one in particular is quite funny haha 😁
Here comes the big time
His reaction 👀
😂
