I loooove the fact, that you used Surrogate Life AND even fit the lyrics with the animation (Rain, "Nobody can turn back time" with Sin, Aria walking away from Fredrick, Sin telling Ky he wants yo take control of his life...). I love the song and I love everything you did with the animation. Congrats man, you deserve all the praise!
the paracelsus bit goes so incredibly hard bro. also, i liked how you included helmetless potemkin. it'd be awesome to let the helmet be optional in the actual game officially.
i mean this a bazillion percent, this is the MOST professional fanmade guilty gear project ive ever seen, everything was amazing!!!! also im very glad to have helped out with some animation stuff, so thanks for gettin me on board for a bit :3
epowga what the hell. like actually talented, this might be one of the best things to come out of strive, everything looks so cohesive, the posing and shots are very smart and cool. I used to always make fun of those unironic "x hire this man" comments, but i really start to daydream what the full potential of ggst's story would have looked like if they had staff like you around.
god the color changes, the shooting of scenes, the matching of what's going on to whatever lyric is said, the details of characters picking up quirks of other characters, the OVERALL ANIMATION ITSELF, THE RECREATION OF SOL'S MISSING LINK ENDING????? this is certainly not bullshit this is so fire its BLAZING, spectacular work,,,,,
I htought this was going to be Dual WIelders opening for a sec, a leak or something. This is professional levels of quality, man. Are you sure you're not the one guy who animated the whole story mode and you're just lying to us?
i like how sadistic you made happy chaos look. the test and jack-o part idk what about it but i like. just an incredible piece of work keep making bangers man, I've watched on repeat like 10 times.
@@hoohah5067yes and no, he is a character that daisuke both created, with a fighting game move set, and made this song to be his theme... for a completely unrelated rhythm game. His move set is also just a parody of sol badguy
That was great! The more I see the stuff you make the more I regret dropping drawing. Seeing you do all this reminds me of how fun and rewarding it felt to do some form of art. Maybe I should give it one more shot. You inspire me, Epowga. Thank you.
I like genuinely wish I could replace the opening of Strive with this, it looks fantastic and fits the current state of the game far better than the one currently in use by ArcSys. You're a master of your craft dude, I hope you keep it up!!
I watched this and and thought it was a trailer for something that they were making. I didn't know you made this until I read the description this is seriously next level!
This is sop fucking sick dude. I love the little things such as Test with Johnny's XRD inteo and Sol with his Missing Link pose. This is absolutely phenomal man!
1:19 HOLY SHIT, MAY WAS THE HONORED ONE ALL ALONG? Brainrot aside, Epowga you cooked a fucking masterpiece man. Total respect (Still Lucy will become a guest character before Patriot, damn you Arc System)
@@sirkinsella9831 A character created by Daisuke Ishiwatari for a Rythm game in 2019, some months ago was release the full version of his theme, Surrogate Life (The music used by Epowga for this video). Patriot it's the main character of a short story developed in a setting similar to Guilty Gear world, but Gears are replaced with Demis (Biological Weapon created with genetic. half human, half animal) and in this world humans lose in a war against the rebelled Demis, basically the opposite of what happened in Guilty Gear lore. And he's a giant ripped solider with Shiba Inu head, peak fiction
@@autostradapazza2885 I see your point there. Even though I seen better picks for each franchise as a guest character in GG than Lucy or any character in Cyberpunk, I think this could be a decent choice.
Hoooleeee~ ! Where the warning for "peak content" ?! Almost burned my eyes from looking at something too great for my mortal eyes. But it was hella worth it !
Sol, the Guilty Gear, looked at his bloodstained hands and prayed.
For he knew he would never create something as peak as this.
1:09 cool throwback to his gg1 ending.
epowga every day rolls a dice to decide if he will work on insane animation or a shitpost
i am so used to his shitposts that i never expect he would make insane animations like this

It was in the middle of 2020, give them some slack

How about he CARVED HIS OWN WAY?
Do you smell it? Someone cooked here.
Yeah like a game
No, there's no smell of the game in this
How did Epowga animate a better fight scene than the ones in strive, he always cooks fr fr

Hardest gg animation I ever seen
Doujin name?
@elstupida5584 Same what doujin are you talking about?
the paracelsus bit goes so incredibly hard bro. also, i liked how you included helmetless potemkin. it'd be awesome to let the helmet be optional in the actual game officially.
This genuinely slaps. Something about that desaturated Zato “seeing” the ghost of his memories pass by, really gave me chills.
If Strive's story was a classic FG tournament setting, this opening would've fit perfectly
The JoJo-style color changes were so good, dude
Everything about this is peak
In this hellish landscape, Sol found something he never knew he would ever find: a new family
the shot during "she walks out of his life" MAKES ME CRY MAN
0:43 Q_Q
Damn, the leaked Dual Rulers opening is looking crazy good
i mean this a bazillion percent, this is the MOST professional fanmade guilty gear project ive ever seen, everything was amazing!!!!
also im very glad to have helped out with some animation stuff, so thanks for gettin me on board for a bit :3
Whoa Sly you helped with this, awesome stuff
I dont intend to say this lightly...
That was peak fucking fiction
Every single frames of this video can be used as a wallpaper
I just want to say I appreciate the reference to Sol's GG1 ending
INSANE levels of cooking

Guilty Gear if it was Animated by Arcsys:
Epowga you've really outdone yourself this time. First Uzelac at EVO and now this??? THE BLENDER COMMUNITY KEEPS COOKING AND IT'S AWESOME!!!!
god
the color changes, the shooting of scenes, the matching of what's going on to whatever lyric is said, the details of characters picking up quirks of other characters, the OVERALL ANIMATION ITSELF, THE RECREATION OF SOL'S MISSING LINK ENDING?????
this is certainly not bullshit this is so fire its BLAZING, spectacular work,,,,,
ARCSYS, HIRE THIS MAN. That was some of the best key posing and choreographing I've seen in a fan made animation in ages.
all the little references in this video feels like such a love letter to the game. never stop cooking my man. never ever
This is so sick. Like imagine arc decided to update the opening after the new season pass and GGS anime, it would be hype
I LOVE SURROGATE LIFE, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I htought this was going to be Dual WIelders opening for a sec, a leak or something.
This is professional levels of quality, man. Are you sure you're not the one guy who animated the whole story mode and you're just lying to us?
Between the missing link sol reference and using the fist bump as a play on the Sol and Ky grabbing fire and lightning thing this is such a dub
Love the reference to missing link at 1:10, you truly are goated with the sauce.
Dude chill my whole house is in fire
That shot of Testament is probably my favorite scene
You could trick me that this is a Real Owned by Arcsys Trailer, and I wouldn't bat an eye
Holy Shid man this is High quality
I can't believe this is a fan animation. It's genuinely amazing
this is bussin 🔥🔥🔥🔥
NEVER STOP CHASING THE HORIZON EPOWGA
THIS IS PEAK AND YET I BELIEVE YOU CAN SHATTER IT WITH EASE GRAAAAAAAAAAAH.
I love your work so much.
FANTASTIC
epowga your animations are the best thing i saw from guilty gear please dont backdash on wake up
Bro, you did a really good job about this. This is incredibly Guilty Gear.
THE GG1 SOL ENDING OMG NICE
1:10
I love it, best Animation you did Epowga, stand proud you cooked
Good job dude! I thought this was an official Guilty Gear video until I looked at the channel name and pfp.
1:19
may finna hit me with "Hollow... Purple."
The little animation of Strive potemkin without his helmet adjusting his little captain hat is too epic for me
Sanzigen studio, hire this man
This looks incredible!! This could easily be the new OP for a Strive expansion version or something
Oh god the part where HC slooowly turns to the camera with that grin is so unnerving, ita perfect!

On a side note, it's funny that this is a non GG song written by Daisuke and with Naoki as the singer. Dudes are really friends.

Bro you went extremely hard for no reason on the may part actually peak
Man-made one of the best animations with one of the most underrated song
That was great! The more I see the stuff you make the more I regret dropping drawing. Seeing you do all this reminds me of how fun and rewarding it felt to do some form of art. Maybe I should give it one more shot.
You inspire me, Epowga. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning! This is amazing! I love this video, this game, and everyone related to it!
