One detail I love in Sol’s instant kill is during the winpose you can see his face wobble slightly because his attack was hot enough to create a mirage
And that’s why I love Baiken so much, because she’s a super badass ronin-type swordswoman who still manages to overcome her enemies despite missing an arm and an eye. And her being busty doesn’t hurt either.
Funny you should mention ronin....The whole reason she looks the way she does in the OG games is because the creator of the series thought Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin was a chick lol.
@@Mr.Skeleton-El for me it looks natural and so casual, like she just has them and that's it. It's not so fanservice like other characters does when having such size. And I am team flat characters-
@@melon3109 yep, if i am not mistaken, the actual guy died, but he wanted to make sure his sister is protected and cared for so he made sure the bed can do that
Ky swapped his eye with Sin's because he was too powerful and wouldn't have survived, so he kinda 'nerfed' him, and also received gear cells in the meantime thus getting the Dragon Install. I believe this is all in the wiki.
@nahuel3433 I mean the thing is he's a gear now through one of his eyes. Previously, he was just a human, so though it hasn't been straigh out said its pretty heavily implied that's what he did
18:51 the whole game has refferences to rockbands. Sol Badguy's real name is Frederick Balsara, which is based of Freddie Mercury, Ky is based on Kai Hensen and Michael Kiske of the Helloween band, Axl Low is Axel Rose, May is based of Brian May (guitarist of Queen), Slayer and Venom are based on the bands of the same name.
And I know that Sol and Ky were sorta rivals, but when he got together with Dizzy well...Sol became his father in law. Which definitely was awkward, more so for Ky.
All of the characters have a slightly different reaction to being saved from Dizzy's move by her pacifism (there's a reason she's not the one doing all the attacking). In some ways my favorite is Slayer's: he might actually be able to survive it, but he still raises his hands with a general air of "all right, I admit that I may have crossed the line here from playing with those like-minded souls I come across into outright bullying a relative child" and Surrenders.
Venom plays pool with you- thats his gameplay style/ gimmick Millia and Zato were once lovers. Zato and Venom were also lovers. Haehyun is an old man robot mech with a girl ki tuner as a pilot Answer is taking a business call on the phone while kicking your ass. He is a business ninja Welcome to Guilty Gear
You definitely need to react to the lore next its wild in the best way. Ive mentioned it before but Woolie versus has a great series on the lore on all the games before strive (i think it was even officially acknowledged by Arcsys) and then you should do strives story
I wish there were more accessible lore vids on the characters bc most lore vids are just focused on the main plot instead on all the side characters backstories
If it helps, the thing with Ramlethal is that that her Instant Kill remains the same from the first version of Xrd, where she was the final boss of that games arcade mode. She entered the series as a villain which is why her IK is so savage, but that aspect of her didn't last long, she's learned to lighten up since then.
Raven is an immortal mage, and canonically speaking among the most powerful characters in Guilty Gear. He views his immortality as a curse and has developed a complex around the fact he can't die, hence why he has no care for his body being incinerated by his own magic... because it can't kill him, even if he really wants it to at the end of the day. He is obsessed with finding a way to die.
The GG story is nutty, would definitely suggest making your way through it, love the characters. The earlier games have that Fighting Game problem where everyone has a story/arcade mode and figuring out canon can be messy (not helped by inconsistent translations), but GG1 is peak 90s, while X and its sequel XX (and its revisions #Reload and Accent Core) will set up the rest of the cast. 2 Overture got more focused on telling a single narrative and has some cool exclusive characters, but its also a weird 3D fighter MOBA thing. Accent Core Plus (and its revision +R) released after Overture and is a separate story from the original XX and ties into Overture. You'll have to look up Vastedge XT cause plot important pachink game is no longer availBle. Finally, for Xrd, Sign and Rev are separate stories, each character has an Episode/arcade mode storyline that is important, and then the Story Modes are essentially full fledged in engine anime added to th console versions. Same for Strive, but you should probably do story mode first there before Episode/Arcade mode. Or you can be like a lot of people and look up a lore video before jumping into Sign/Rev/Strive/whichever. Some OST reactions would also be fire.
If you want to catch up on the story there's two easy things to watch to get all of it, though it'll be hard to react to. 1) Woolie VS has a comprehensive entire story summation and timeline series of videos that are really well done and cover everything up to Strive. 2) Strive itself has a three hour (base game, dlc added more) story movie you can watch, free with the game.
The story modes for both Xrd and Strive are essentially 4 hour animes with no gameplay, that being said I love seeing ppl watch them especially Xrd, altho Xrd actually has 2 story modes technically. Chronological order would be Xrd SIGN, then Xrd Revelator, and then the extra episodes they added in Xrd REV 2. If you want gameplay tho, each character has their own route in arcade mode with their own little story, and in Xrd their arcade modes actually build up to the story, altho in Strive the arcade takes place after the story. For people getting into Guilty Gears story my recommendation is always to watch the first four episodes of WoolieVersus's Guilty Gear Lore series on TH-cam, then watch Xrd SIGNs story, then watch the beginning of Woolies 6th episode to get Revelators arcade mode summarized, and then watch Revelator/REV 2, and then watch Strive. Just to vouch for Woolie real quick, the story of Guilty Gear before Xrd is pretty hard to piece together since it's spread across so many games and other supplemental material like mangas and stuff, but his video series puts just about every relevant thing from the beginning up until the end of Xrd in one place and presents it all in a very entertaining way to boot. I still would recommend watching Xrd and Strives story modes in full tho cuz Xrds especially rules.
@@sebastianramirez9090 we only have kliff (who is dead), justice (whose parts are broken up into other characters), zappa, roboky, and holy order sol, everyone else has returned in strive
@@bassbusterx I honestly think that, with some characters, they shouldnt have the canon in mind and put them just because with no repercutions on the story. That or add different characters tha t work the same.
@@bassbusterxZato was once dead. Kliff and Justice are already dead come X but kept appearing. Order-Sol is from the past. This is a series with revival and time travel and clones flashbacks, Kliff and Justice and Order Sol could definitely return. When will Fanny arrive from the Japan only spinoffs...
The Episode/Arcade modes are pretty important storywise as well, so if sitting around watching 6 hours of in engine anime doesn't sound good then thats also an option. Important to note: Xrd Sign is, storywise, a completely different installment from Revelator/Rev 2, even if gameplay wise they're different revisions of the same fighting game.
Milia does not use gel. Her hair is alive because she accepted a forbidden curse to animate it and turn it into a weapon. It is canon however she has to use an entire bottle of shampoo every shower to clean it.
I-no instant kill is reference to her boss fight in XX. In this battle she wind up big damage attack which involves barrage of sphere. While she wind up atrack, Danger mark will appear to show you I-no projectiles pattern
Oh? Oh yeah he is not using lighting magic here, he might be summoning an actual lighting from nature because he is using the 9 ninja cuts here, that are used to influence in the material world. This is my theory because Chipp uses Ki magic and not elemental magic.
Hello Kieran! To answer your question for Venom, In the world of Guilty Gear, Magic over takes technology because of an apocolyptic event before the gears, so it's very common place for people to use magic. What makes Venom Terrifying is that he's formerly a leader of an assassin's guild. Why Pool though? No one knows. It's Venom's thing, I guess!
Fun fact about Faust instakill: Yes, he have different stuff for the characters. BUT the most unique one is from Zato. Since in terms of Lore Faust have a beef with Zato, that's why he says that will carve him the next time. For the rest of the roster he just crack some funny line. The only hostile one is exclusive to Zato.
Pleasantly surprised with the shout out, thank you! Hope you're having fun, the soundtrack in GG really gets the blood pumping. I hope you get to try out the older GG games like XX and see their moves from that era
As a big Guilty Gear lore fan I gotta say, there is no good entry point, the lore goes too deep and just expects you to know things. That said, Xrd and Strives story movies are amazing once you get past an hour of exposition it starts to go hard and hit you with big feelz when you least expect it. If you see a vid called "GG lore in 12 minutes", be warned that it STARTS with the biggest franchise spoiler and kills the whole mystery plot.
Hey maaan, you absolutely have to watch the story mode. As a fellow anime fan I assure you, the story is veeeery good. You can start from xrd sign, then rev and strive, all of the other story is very time consuming and hard to digest
I don't know if your going to see this but sol badguy has a transformation called dragon install it buff up sol damage and change his special attack,super,instu kill,and his win animation but it doesn't last long but its one hell of a install.
I think you should absolutely go through the intros and outros for the Rev2 characters, also their special moves (some have more animation than others)
You should check out the intro and outros too as well as their other game blazblue which may or may not confuse (cuz the game's story is very complicated and hard to understand)
Haha my man learning lore for the specials is funny, is a previous GG title Jam was trying to get her own her own restaurant and by the end of the game she gets one...but as you seem in the animation of her instant kill in this game she lost that restaurant lol. The little nods are always welcomed
I’m literally trying to avoid story spoilers so I can do a lore video and learn through there LOL. It is what it is though. Mods deleted that message so I didn’t see it
I saw a few people call Haehyun a little girl, she's probably closer in age to May, Bridget and Jam (though we only know the exact age of a few characters). She became the head of her clan after her father died but uses the old man mech because women aren't allowed to hold that position. She's also old friends with Johnny.
Oh yeah. Raven is immortal, he regenerates pmuch from anything. So in his instakill he just blows up himself with his opponent. Also, he's an insane masochist and canonically breaks his own limbs to make some of the attacks.
So to explain Raven's instant kill, he is an immortal knight who was rejected by Vallhalla in the times of the holy crusades, yes the real world crusades. In his instant kill he is incinerating both his opponent and himself, then coming back from the ashes.
This is why I wish Strive had kept the Insta Kill mechanic...the last time I saw Bridget in the series his Insta Kill was using his yo-yo to throw the opponent to the moon and getting them stuck in it. I can't even REMBMER A.B.A's so I would have liked to see what they did with them in Strive....I haven't even touched Strive because they took out the mechanic and it's been in EVERY SINGLE Guilty Gear fighting game...including the portable ones on Wonder Swan and the port on Game Boy Advance. Strive looks great, don't get me wrong but I just don't feel like it's "Guilty Gear" without the Insta Kill mechanic.
I honestly I’m confused whenever I use to play Guilty Gear, I’m not use to doing quarter circles. If you didn’t know btw, alongside Tekken there is also Soul Caliber. Any thoughts to have a look at Soul Caliber 6’s special attacks? Defeating a character with them have special cutscenes and only like 2 have alternative supers as well
@@ChocolateKieran interesting, I can’t wait to see since for dlc back then they had added Geralt from the Witcher and 2B from Nier Automata. Hell, Heihachi from Tekken was a special guest character for PS2 Soul Caliber 2 whilst Link was in the GameCube version. Edit note: Azwel and Kilik character have a secondary Critical art but you have to soul charge for them to do it.
Dio voices Zato Kirei Kotomine voices sol Noriowakamoto Cell/bison voices Johnny Casual anime villains just hanging around Also chipp is running for president and answer helps him
If you're into crazy and bizarre story moments I recommend the story mode for guilty gear it's funny and cool and action packed and it's also like a show so you can have to watch it you don't have to play and just listen to the story
The thing that confuses me about Faust is in the rest of the games before Strive his style is way different, in strive they make him look like a zombie maybe I'm missing some lore.
Iirc he's just kinda burned out, the depressed clown that can't keep up the cheer at the moment but is still trying, I believe the Another Story DLC chapter goes into it a bit more
Repressed trauma went brrrrrrrrr (context: Faust went nuts after messing up a surgery in a major way, and kinda pushed passed his demons to try and make up for the murder spree he went on while he had lost it....buuut, from what I read, it was Raven that actually caused Faust to mess up, which brought back all that shut in stress and instability, so Strive Faust is relapsing, while Pre-Strive Faust is coping.)
@@ChocolateKieran i dont suggest strive, it doesnt have a true "combo trial" system as its all player made stuff that you search for. unlike a pre registered combo trial that 50/50 probably not optimal but still cool as hell. i do suggest Xrds combo trails however and checking out the story of guilty gear. its a very fascinating story with a ton of deep messages that are very relatable. and also the story mode writing is really good except for strive where its a bit effy
tho playing strive, absolutely! one of my top3 fav fgs ever. also i noticed some stuff that i wanted to point out a bit. millia and zato were lovers, ky and dizzy have sin as their son. sol is the guilty gear and protag. raven and slayer are immortal beings. bedman (romeo, the boy who is btw always sleeping) died lmao. venom, zato, millia, and slayer have a orginazation known as the assassins guild. leo has war ptsd. ram-le-thal, elphelt, and jack-o are all "sisters" from a other worldly being known as the universal will. jack-o is sols wife reincarnated, jack-o gets the hair change when she fully becomes aria (sols wife). sin is a half gear and is canonically 5 years old in strive. gears are basically just genetically modified organisms that are really strong and stuff

16:51 Ky installed his eye to himself to have gear cells.(His Dragon Install super in Strive)
It's a theory if he put it on himself. Unconfirmed. What is confirmed is that Ky took it out of Sin because the gear cells were wrecking him.
Ky swapped his eye with Sin's because he was too powerful and wouldn't have survived, so he kinda 'nerfed' him, and also received gear cells in the meantime thus getting the Dragon Install. I believe this is all in the wiki.

My favourite part of GG lore is that Sol Badguy is basically Sin's grandfather, and that Dizzy was 3 years old when she gave birth to Sin
And I know that Sol and Ky were sorta rivals, but when he got together with Dizzy well...Sol became his father in law. Which definitely was awkward, more so for Ky.
@@astralguardian5930 I'll quote someone from a different video
_And thus, Ky and Sin's rivalry eneded up. Not with a bang... but with a whimper_
All of the characters have a slightly different reaction to being saved from Dizzy's move by her pacifism (there's a reason she's not the one doing all the attacking). In some ways my favorite is Slayer's: he might actually be able to survive it, but he still raises his hands with a general air of "all right, I admit that I may have crossed the line here from playing with those like-minded souls I come across into outright bullying a relative child" and Surrenders.

Every character has a different response to Elphelt's attack. Its interesting to see which ones decline
Ah, Harhyun... The best grandpa mech in all of guilty gear.
W vid!!! You should probably check out a lore video next (Guilty Gear's lore is batshit insane)
There are several vids explaining the plot and lore of each game and I would recomend watching those instead of strive story mode
So to explain Raven's instant kill, he is an immortal knight who was rejected by Vallhalla in the times of the holy crusades, yes the real world crusades. In his instant kill he is incinerating both his opponent and himself, then coming back from the ashes.
yoooo let’s go we get some xrd love
Story mode might confuse the hell out of you. If you want to, it might be possible to react to WoolieVS's Heaven or Hell series.
Pot rlly sent Zato to visit Zappa lol
Those are great.
bedman mentioned LFG
The only thing that ruined Baiken's IK is that bloodsplat, you can never unsee it.

This is why I wish Strive had kept the Insta Kill mechanic...the last time I saw Bridget in the series his Insta Kill was using his yo-yo to throw the opponent to the moon and getting them stuck in it. I can't even REMBMER A.B.A's so I would have liked to see what they did with them in Strive....I haven't even touched Strive because they took out the mechanic and it's been in EVERY SINGLE Guilty Gear fighting game...including the portable ones on Wonder Swan and the port on Game Boy Advance. Strive looks great, don't get me wrong but I just don't feel like it's "Guilty Gear" without the Insta Kill mechanic.
I honestly I’m confused whenever I use to play Guilty Gear, I’m not use to doing quarter circles. If you didn’t know btw, alongside Tekken there is also Soul Caliber. Any thoughts to have a look at Soul Caliber 6’s special attacks? Defeating a character with them have special cutscenes and only like 2 have alternative supers as well
I actually played Soul Caliber 4 YEARS ago on Xbox 360, but recenttly bought SC6 on Steam to check out the special attacks, so that will be coming 😁
@@ChocolateKieran interesting, I can’t wait to see since for dlc back then they had added Geralt from the Witcher and 2B from Nier Automata. Hell, Heihachi from Tekken was a special guest character for PS2 Soul Caliber 2 whilst Link was in the GameCube version.
Edit note: Azwel and Kilik character have a secondary Critical art but you have to soul charge for them to do it.
Now do the Accent Core finishers.
the WHAT?!
Sigh..
Finally! Kieran reacting to (actual) Guilty Gear!
he needs to start the story mode so he can soak up that lore
This is from when GG had heart
Dio voices Zato
Kirei Kotomine voices sol
Noriowakamoto Cell/bison voices Johnny
Casual anime villains just hanging around
Also chipp is running for president and answer helps him
also Ky is voiced by same VA as Trunks
If you're into crazy and bizarre story moments I recommend the story mode for guilty gear it's funny and cool and action packed and it's also like a show so you can have to watch it you don't have to play and just listen to the story
Jack Raph and Elph are all sisters
Just remember that the story modes in these games are a movie. Even moreso in strive's case. Good ones, but that's not a quick reaction.
holy crap, the amount of screen tearing in this video. damn :v
fun fact answer is chipps secretary
also yes, raven is immortel and just burn himself and his opponent to ashes but he just come back
also raven is a masochist so he do weird face when you instakill him
So WoolieVersus does have a good series of videos on the lore of the series if you wanted to learn that stuff?
Sol: Activate dragon install, *then* pull IK.
If you want more and the mechanics of bedman I recommend the video : why bedman is peak fiction
The thing that confuses me about Faust is in the rest of the games before Strive his style is way different, in strive they make him look like a zombie maybe I'm missing some lore.
Iirc he's just kinda burned out, the depressed clown that can't keep up the cheer at the moment but is still trying, I believe the Another Story DLC chapter goes into it a bit more
Repressed trauma went brrrrrrrrr (context: Faust went nuts after messing up a surgery in a major way, and kinda pushed passed his demons to try and make up for the murder spree he went on while he had lost it....buuut, from what I read, it was Raven that actually caused Faust to mess up, which brought back all that shut in stress and instability, so Strive Faust is relapsing, while Pre-Strive Faust is coping.)
Watch Another Story in Strive. Basically he pushed himself way too hard doing a huge physical displacement spell and it messed him up hard.
this guy has to try out the combo trails omg he would love them
I'm actually gonna be doing that on Strive and then doing a couple online games for the next video :D
@@ChocolateKieran i dont suggest strive, it doesnt have a true "combo trial" system as its all player made stuff that you search for. unlike a pre registered combo trial that 50/50 probably not optimal but still cool as hell. i do suggest Xrds combo trails however and checking out the story of guilty gear. its a very fascinating story with a ton of deep messages that are very relatable. and also the story mode writing is really good except for strive where its a bit effy
tho playing strive, absolutely! one of my top3 fav fgs ever. also i noticed some stuff that i wanted to point out a bit. millia and zato were lovers, ky and dizzy have sin as their son. sol is the guilty gear and protag. raven and slayer are immortal beings. bedman (romeo, the boy who is btw always sleeping) died lmao. venom, zato, millia, and slayer have a orginazation known as the assassins guild. leo has war ptsd. ram-le-thal, elphelt, and jack-o are all "sisters" from a other worldly being known as the universal will. jack-o is sols wife reincarnated, jack-o gets the hair change when she fully becomes aria (sols wife). sin is a half gear and is canonically 5 years old in strive. gears are basically just genetically modified organisms that are really strong and stuff
sorry for the rant😭😭😭 one last thing, venoms entire gameplay is pool. also japan doesnt exist because its a crater after a gear shot a gamma ray at it
hope they bring these back the Overdrives feel way weaker in comparison
Why is chipp mewing in this game
You've gotta watch the lore video by Woolie Vs.
You should see Dizzy's Instakill on all the characters as they have different reactions.
