I remember being 4 and watching my oldest brother play some sort of fighting game and the one character I remember is some crazy chick with a giant ass key for a weapon, and seeing ABA's reveal trailer made me have such a brain blast and I was like “nooo....NOOOO THATS THAT KEY LADY". In short, this character has revived some memories in me and has solidified my decision to REALLY get into the guilty gear series.
I was told that ABA's hair is green now is because it's made of copper, and it's been oxidized. I haven't found full confirmation that her hair is actually made of copper, but hey her blood literally contains mercury so I'll believe she's mostly made of metals because how else is an artificial being with mercury for blood suppose to function? EDIT: She dyed it.
@@raiyano7436 Sadly that was debunked the moment she was announced, one of the first questions Daisuke was asked at AWT was about her hair and he said that now she's out in the world she's "discovering cosmetics" and expressing herself with them. Why is her hair green? Literally because she dyed her hair green
Out of every single character in Strive, the one with a special condition that means both "Weakest in the game" and "Unstoppable in the game" ended up being her!? We're Phoenix Wright-ing over here boys.
Despite Testament being my favourite DLC character season 3 is easly the best season of Strive so far imo. They absolutley cooked with characters like Johnny and A.B.A, remaking them faithfull to their originals but also more beginer friendly and balanced, I cannot wait to see what they have in store for Slayer next.
Reminds me of Monster Hunter's Charge Blade: - 2 modes, with the initial building energy for the second. - Has a move in the second that expends EVERYTHING you built up. - Big weapon - Has moves that switch the modes - Burning out energy leaves you vulnerable - Can set up for long combos to deal lots of damage
Don't forget she also has a SAED equivalent: her KEY IS LAW, KEY IS KING super in jealousy mode will consume all jealousy and deal extra hits based on how much jealousy you had.
"If you wanna play A.B.A, you gotta be ok with not being good at the start" Well, I'm bad all the time, so that won't be a problem for me XD Seriously though, she is so fun - couldn't be happier to finally have my key-lady in Strive, and with teal hair too
I know a lot of people were doubting ABA could get in Strive because we've got Nago already, and they both had this blood meter thing going on, but now that she's in strive I can positively say that she's quite literally "Reverse Nago". Nago starts off extremely powerful but if the first few interactions don't go his way he has a hard time, while ABA starts off on the struggle bus until she gets one good interaction and then she runs away with the round. People are going to *hate* her as they always hate "robbery" characters like her.
as someone who is completely new to guilty gear and playing these kind of fighting games in general this video helped me understand how to properly use some of her moves in a fight so thank you so much 😭🙏
This might be the funniest character in the game, ngl. She’s ‘Locking tf in’ given form, it’s like a jumpscare. Don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at this game
Her moves had the theme of blood she uses limited blood packs to get her second mode as well as just hitting targets but while in that mode she risk her own health bar so you have this cool management game-play flow
not gonna lie with how good her jealous rage is i feel like her normal mode is heavily underestimated-sure a lot of it's attacks are very short ranged and she has horrible mobility, but she has easy dodge options for pretty much all attacks in the game + a parry move; i can see a god level player completely demolishing others using just A.B.A's normal mode where they play defensive and focus on reading the opponent
I always called her an install character. Stance, to me, always implied that each different stance had a situation where you would favour it. A certain stance could be faster but weaker, for example. Install characters would be “installed” 100% of the time if they could be. A.B.A. is just better in every aspect and when you aren’t in Jealous Rage with her, you’re doing everything that you can to get back to it ASAP. Plus it has a depleting bar. Just screams install to me.
He's a bed who has the lingering consuisness of a guy called romeo who used to sleep on it and use it to fight but he was forced to wake up and died and now the bed protects his younger sister deliah and may have a bit of his consciousness in it but also maybe not
i've been playing aba for a while and i tend to use her keeper of the key to end a combo outta jealous rage and potentially break wall if the opponent is in corner. i find most people don't notice it hits three times in rage mode and it catches them off guard.
The moment I realised she has a slide special that ducks beneath highs and mids, I knew that I wouldn't be having much fun fighting her. At least without rage the window is kinda small so good luck ducking my Mist Finer
623h is incredibly important for her oki game, all it takes is a dp or super for her to be sent incredibly far back in her gameplan, and her pressure structure is like 90% gaps
Idk how good she is,but this is the fourth time this game has convinced to buy it kekw. After May,Nago and Potemkin. I should just buy this ost set with game as a bonus when they are discounted at this point.
watched some matches and I think people are sleeping on her uninstall. I've seen one guy use it effectively, like when the opponent was in hitlag, and with the jealousy recovery it gave he just went back into rage immediatly and pretty much spent the whole game with rage active. Also, with everyone favorite new mechanic wild assault, you could potentially mitigate her lack of mobility while not in rage? I dunno, though, not enouth time passed and people tend to prefer to keep their burst so it might not be viable.
I think Aba is a little op though when she has full meter she is nearly unstoppable with no weaknesses and she can mix you up into a combo it would be better if she did less damage or she had her old weakness where she loses health everytime she attacks making her a high risk high rewards character that would be fun high risk high reward

KEY LADY WOOOOO @@sultarta
Haha key ladys cool memory
Symphony is legitimately a masterpiece. It's a banger the whole way through of course, but the second half is fucking art.
Amen
Amen.
The thing about the second-half is that I can’t unhear Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2 when Naoki sings “I’m not hear the fit in this world”
@@ryanlally8116that’s almost definitely intentional.
the piano in the second part makes me feel things
She can do 297 damage from mid screen with 50% tension, or she can be completely unable to break a wall meterless.
Truly a character of all time
From what I can tell about Symphony, it's about how she wants to better herself but still stand out in the world
well in Plus R the story was her being fully unable to socialize with anyone an just wanna place with Key Hubby so
I'M NOT HERE TO FIT IN THIS WORLD!!! I JUST WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE🔥🔥🔥

Is it a stretch to say that her hair is now green to represent that she’s “ green with jealousy/envy” ?
@@Brandidnt624the other fan theory is that since shes a homunculus her hair might be made of copper and so its now green because it oxidized

The fact that the Frenzy and astonishment or any move isn't named Lay All your love on me bothers me on so many levels. Haha.
I’m going to get the shit beaten out of me as A.B.A and I’m going to love it, just like when I played Anji when I first got Strive

They absolutley cooked with characters like Johnny and A.B.A, remaking them faithfull to their originals but also more beginer friendly and balanced, I cannot wait to see what they have in store for Slayer next.
I just recently picked up GG-Strive as my first traditional fighting game and A.B.A. is one of my most favorite characters I've played in the game.

@@ericraululyeetusdelyeetus5028 That's the move that expends everything.
I'm ass at GG but I always loved ABA and characters in her specific visual archetype. Her and painwheel from Skullgirls are so cool. 😊
I main pain wheel and now I main aba lol. I'm right there with you brother
@@ZaxTax-h8t hell yeah! XD
I love mentally unstable misfits
Minor note: Abas parry works against just about everything. Including Faust bomb explosions, mini Faust, meteors and supers
She's... She's still not Robo-Ky though...
Bro ain't that the truth.
Only way Robo-Ky comes back is as a floating head with Venom.
@@LoboEyeNah venom can COOK, I bet he'd already get enough money for new robo ky body by now
@@mranchovy6003robo KY and venom in one character
Imagine if venom and robo ky get added but it's just a reskin of testament with robo ky being the crow
I mean she's just a wholesome, pretty and fun character. I love her.

Love the Vortex Infinitum in the background, praying for him to come season 4.

To answer everyone’s question: No, you cannot fix her.
I see nothing here in need of fixing
i don't think i could make her worse either
However, Paracelsus did.
No need.
Zappa can
"Parsilius"
I would never have thought ABA would come back, gives me some hope we might see Zappa return.
ZAPPA GANGGGGGGGG

Joker from smash bros but the normal version actually makes the meter gain feel super empowering
Love the character
Love the theme even more.
Symphony is easily a top 10 theme in the game
For me I have it at 6th between Bridget and Zato
Straight up feast or famine character. Also Paracelsus is “pair-ah-cell-sus”
never played previous Aba shes cool, your guides sections have gotten really good, and thank you for being so fast.
Her moves had the theme of blood she uses limited blood packs to get her second mode as well as just hitting targets but while in that mode she risk her own health bar so you have this cool management game-play flow
She's famine and feast. Blocking and spacing are her bread and butter. Becoming a rush down monster. I like her a lot.
Help it’s me Paracelsus ABA is holding me hostage someone help I’m typing this shit with my tongue oh god she coming Jesus Christ help me
Love her and the key, also love the new stage which i imagine is like Mykonos in the 2180’s
why the key isn't black liquid, is that kind of censorship
Nvm it's the the skin to make it like the original
not gonna lie with how good her jealous rage is i feel like her normal mode is heavily underestimated-sure a lot of it's attacks are very short ranged and she has horrible mobility, but she has easy dodge options for pretty much all attacks in the game + a parry move; i can see a god level player completely demolishing others using just A.B.A's normal mode where they play defensive and focus on reading the opponent
Johnny didn’t need to catch that stray bullet but I understand. If only he could block on dash…
7:52 parsillious
“Parsillius”
INSTALL CHARACTER, NOT STANCE.
You could argue that it’s an install if it’s a super and it’s a stance if it’s a core mechanic
I'd say an install powers up the existing moves and a stance will change your existing moves to completely different ones.
YANDERE INSTAL
It's a stance.
Installs are generally supers and tend to be buffs
Stances usually are not supers and give new toolkits
I always called her an install character. Stance, to me, always implied that each different stance had a situation where you would favour it. A certain stance could be faster but weaker, for example.
Install characters would be “installed” 100% of the time if they could be. A.B.A. is just better in every aspect and when you aren’t in Jealous Rage with her, you’re doing everything that you can to get back to it ASAP. Plus it has a depleting bar. Just screams install to me.
12:30 Excuse me? run train???
10:59 I NEED Invite Hell to track like that move lol
ABA doesn’t have a step dash btw. I know it looks like it but it’s a run. If u keep holding forward she repeats the “dash” animation over and over.
most creative video title
12:29 Guilty Gear Hakumen Confirmed...
WAIT THATS ALSO NAGORIYUKI?!!
Im guessing the 1-8 numbers are input comands?
ABA is my new secondary(i think) she is so fucking fun, and im so exsited for learning combos with her
She is one of the coolest new additions among many cool additions tbh
Can some one tell me if she's an S-tier Yandere?
Yandere? I think she doesnt fake being nice bro shes just always crazy
@@bardockvegetable6377 To be fair, Yandere only means they are crazy about their lovers. So I'll take that as a yes.
Not only does she not fit in tier list with how polarizing she is but she also doesn't fit in this world
@@squiithefishslandoftrash6476tell that to slayer and nagoriyuki
So happy to see Aba back in the game. While she was never my first choice in the PS2 game I played, I could respect those who chose her as a main.
Nothing to talk about, she’s perfectly sane and perfect in every way.
I have a feeling boss mode ABA will be permanently in her transformed state
I am absolutely loving ABA, fighting to maintain your stance is very fun
PARSILLIUS?
Recently hopped back on ggst cuz of you and what the fuck is bedman
He's a bed who has the lingering consuisness of a guy called romeo who used to sleep on it and use it to fight but he was forced to wake up and died and now the bed protects his younger sister deliah and may have a bit of his consciousness in it but also maybe not
The bed of the man who killed rams dog
Bedman?
hes like a dog but without any of the things that make a dog and is actually just a robot bed
A potentially possessed robot bed
If every DLC character came with a bonus, A.B.A's would be free marriage counseling
She is so fun to play. Easily my favorite character in the game right now.
