The latest installment of Ridiculous Characters of Fighting game history is here, with Faust from Guilty Gear! He was easily the most requested character that is brought up everytime I did one of these videos so here ya go! Also you guys know I normally don't ask this but since these kind of vids are so out of the wheelhouse I normally tread in so its harder for it to get traction on youtube so likes/comments/all that usual stuff you know, very much appreciated!
Think we could get more of these in time for halloween? Would love to see a character from Skullgirls or Blazblue, like Ms.Fortune or Arakune.
@@CountofBleck It takes forever to make one of these styles of vids compared to what I normally create so I don't think there will be another by halloween. That said they will still pop up every now and then!
you tagged guiiltygear
what a faustian bargain
I love how his door teleport is a canon ability. He used it in GG xrd's story for a last minute save in a vital operation against the conclave, but messed up and ate dirt for like 10 whole seconds before pulling off the sickest landing I've ever seen.
Got a link to that clip? Sounds hilarious
@@SleppyLeBo here ya go, it happens at 13:10 in this vid.

@@sqentontheslime1967 sweeeet.
More accurately, Xrd: Sign. I don't think he messed up so much as that was the best he could do. The doors aren't long distance, according to him. He knew it would've a rough landing.
Can confirm is the landing is sick.
Faust in xrd: lol giant funny man
Faust in strives: *being alive is no longer something you can achieve*
Unironically, exactly right!
@@MrMysteryreviewer unfortunately, the poor guy
what square one does to a mf

The way I interpreted Xrd's gallery seemed to imply that Faust is so clinically insane that he is a minor reality warper, hence why he pulls stuff out of hammer space and swims through the air.
He actually used to be generally insane. He was once under the name doctor baldhead of course he went insane through some shady people screwing him over
In the Wikis says his magic is "Spatial Deformation" which is very fitting
Apparently his abilities are partly due to self surgery of sorts.
@@XmortoxX1990 he can also control and change anatomy with his magic, which lets him contort his body in weird ways
Faust playstyle: RANDOM BULLSHIT GO
Bro, I love smacking people with the doors 🤣 niggas get salty
Everyone is talking about how Faust is relapsing but I think our boy is just tired. You seen some of these doctors who do 10 hour shifts, 6 days a week? They look like the walking dead, too.
That's what it wound up being!
Yoshimitsu: Finally a worthy opponent!!!
Our battle shall be *RIDICULOUS*
Dan Hibiki:Hold your pants...
one of my favourite goofy faust facts is a bit from the codex talking about how hes one of the best magicians on earth and maybe ever; his item summoning is material displacement, which takes mastery of All kinds of magic, and teleportation is an incredibly difficult technique by itself. adding doing so much magical research with whatever "rigorous physical training" lets you stretch your head out a few feet, and hes just one insanely dedicated doctor.
smth about the amount of work and care he puts into being goofy and eccentric makes him so charming as a character, esp when you consider hes very fond of children. love that funnydoc.
Faust is why I got into GG
Fucking same dude.
@@kuramijuno2482 that is awesome 👏🏿
me too man
Yup
Same lmao
Faust is one of the characters in Guilty Gear I wanted to try out the most. Glad to learn some crazy lore about him. I never knew of his rough past as "Dr. Baldhead" :o
Faust is one of the characters in Guilty Gear!
@@uhoh7545 "Faust is one of the characters in Guilty Gear I wanted to try out the most."
@@phdbot4483 yeah hes in guilty gear! in most if not all of the series.
Faust's back-story is so wacky I honestly thought you're making stuff up on the way
Check out his old move set from Guilty Gear. He didn't have item throw, so he had things like an E. Honda style frenzy, pogo sticking around, flying on flatulence, and an instant kill where he knocks his opponent into the air, impales them on his scalpel, and then buries them under a traditional Japanese gravestone.
It isnt mentioned, but even fausts powers are really interesting, he’s not a deity or a descendant of a great person
He’s literally just a guy
He got his powers after returning to normal after being dr baldhead
Seeing old Faust makes me seriously question what happen to Faust in GG Strive
I’m gonna assume you already found out and not spoil anything
@@exstacyxd I haven't been told, tell me.
From the gg world description: "After the decisive battle with the "Universal Will" and learning the truth about his past, he returns to his roots of "saving people's lives," resuming his journey with Chronus to help those who require his service.
Perhaps due to returning way back to his roots, his erratic behavior and speech seem to have gotten more disturbing."
SQUAREONESQUAREONESQUAREONESQUAREONESQUAREONESQUAREONESQUAREONESQUAREONESQUAREONESQUAREONESQUAREONESQUAREONE
resume: doctor gos nuts after lossing a pacient ( dead) and becames a serial killer, after this he decide to Go back and help people after learning that the goverment was the one that kill his paciente because ( faust) was close to discover How to revive the Dead.
"I am a doctor"
"A doctor of what?"
"Yes"
Faust feels like a cartoon character in a series where everyone is an anime character.
"the joker pope, which is a real thing." this series is... certainly A series.
At first I've always thought that Faust was a bad guy of Guilty Gear story but i was dead wrong
About time Dr Baldhead got some respeck on his name
I'm gonna be a dick real quick, but I promise I'll make up for it by the end: 'Faust' is actually pronounced like 'Foust' which means 'fist' in German, but besides that is clearly a reference to Goethe's Faust from which we get fun idioms like 'Faustian bargain'. In the novel 'Faust', the titular character makes a deal with what amounts to the devil, shenanigans ensue. The novel's character is heavily based on a presumably historical figure who went around practicing magic and wonderously healing people among other things. Not quite a regular medical doctor.
Nahh, you're cool. Didn't know that
12:48
"A weary heart doeth good like a medicine."
that says “a merry heart”
Strive Faust is a bit sinister, but he's still very goofy. I'm loving playing this character, this will be my main in Gulty Gear games
Man imagine guilty gear vs marvel with Faust and Deadpool interacting with each other.
8:01
Its interesting that he's 252 cm tall, yet his weight is only 55 kg.
It should at least be like 170 kg, but no. Faust is very light for a man of his size.
Lanky man he is
Most gg characters are strangely light
@@lucas_sin_s are you going to tell me that Potemkin's weight is 1 g?
@@tdpuuhailee8222 well potemkin is actually heavy, but if you look at characters like sol badguy, he's 6 feet tall (180 something cm) and has huge muscles, yet only weighs 160 lbs (like 75 kgs)
Im not going to say it. im not going to say it...
IM NOT GOING TO SAY IT
faust: the fighter where even if you are the one playing, you have no idea what is happening half the time.
"If I dont know what I'm doing, then you sure as shit won't!"
-Sun Tzu
False: if you don’t know what is happening then you are just garbage. Faust is my main because his move set is relentless
You're here talking about how wacky Faust is, while I'm watching Baiken regenerate her arm and eye only to lose the other ones whenever she turns. Look, her eye and arm just switch every time she turns!
Rooflemonger is definitely be top 10 FGC content creators with the variety of content he makes
Zappa is also a really good weird character lol
Zappa is fucking awesome!!!
*See him first time*
- Haha, funny dummy doctor.
*Looking hes lore*
The Merciful God...
Faust's backstory/history is definitely interesting as a fan of the lore this series has created.
His random style does throw me off sometimes
Love him, he's my main
A very small amount of audio gremlin hiccups here in the vid. Thankfully in a day or two ill have all the parts I need for a all new audio setup im trying out... and hopefully that means that stuff will be fixed forever! I record everything on a near 20 year old turtle beach headset and its literally held together by duct tape, crazy glue, and my hopes and dreams so I need something more reliable. Anyways Android 16 tips and tricks coming in a few days. Rambo Kombat Kast this week too!
I love this series can’t wait to see more like some DarkStalkets characters!
There is one on Q.Bee already! Check the playlist link at the end of the video to go find it
So this is the guy who inspired Lum. Feel like that damn Panda is even more random than Faust.
This is immediately what I thought of when I saw his item toss. Feels good to run into another Fantasy Fellow
the way he is saying Faust's name hurts
Thank you he’s my favourite character from a fighting character
I always thought he was an alien due to him being 10 ft tall 👽🤣
On the other hand he does remind me of Professor Pyg from Batman except Pyg uses his skills to kill while Faust is trying his best to make up for whatever he did in the past
9 ft, but close enough. He may actually be so tall that it's damaging his spine, hence his hunched over walk most of them time and why he's using his scalpel to stand upright in Strive.
I think I understand the reference with Faust's name.
Faust is german for fist.
But Faust is also the book of proper manners which since he's a doc it fits as well as it being ironic since well Faust is Faust
Deals with the devil are also referred to as "faustian bargains".
I love this series! I was excited to see Faust was this editions character, keep up the good work my friend!
Faust: every move is a taunt
Faust is the only Guilty gear character I want in smash ultimate.
same i want him to do the stimulating fist of annihilation on every character
On my way as an special would be awesome
@@yourmothergaming384 on sonic
I honestly can't tell if I prefer how he is in strive, i wish we actually knew what happened to him, I do like the more outright joke character that he was in the past couple games but now he's this weird mostly joke character but some sinister aspects to him that make him more intimidating and idk how well they fit together for me.
11:55 it was cool that xrd had this B plot that a lot of characters got to take part in.
Also holy shit, stive, what is chronus doing?
He's Mary Poppins y'all!
Genuinely thought his name was pronounced as F-ow-st
It is.
“The Joker Pope” hahaha. That was good
You don't do these type of videos enough. We need more please
Well to be frankly honest, I don't do as many of these kind of vids because they take way way more effort and time to make than a normal video, and with way less return. Work more to get less reward kinda deal. That said I still put one out every now and then cause I know the folks who do watch em, like em.
I hope you'll do a video for Zappa one day, I think he even outmatches Faust in ridiculousness.
If there's ever a hint of him returning maybe. To be frank his story arc ends up in a way where it just looks like he is flat out "done".
I think they kinda made Faust in Strive creepy as hell, in a comical way even more than here... and I love it
Voldo would like a word on that Most Ridiculous Character title lol
Man may fight goofy but he's serious about being a doctor.
as a faust main, you really gotta be good at improv if your implementing items in your combos
Faust the most Ridiculous? Did you hear about Leopaldon? :D
I know well of lord Leopaldon, but kinda difficult to make a video on him cause he's got no backstory and he barely has anything to talk about other than just whats right infront of your face
02:52 kinda looks like a certain copyrighted character from peace mace 1 billion
My first GG game is gonna be Strive, and this video has summented that I am maining Faust. Idiot son, I love him
yoo thanks for the video im actually learning faust and getting my head into guilty gear sereis
from the start i like his move set and really fun one even the combo is kind of hard i enjoy throwing random stuff to people but after seeing this i felt soo much relatable with faust and i learn knew thing about life from him soo yeah awesome video
this was a great video, I want more of this kind of things ! thanks a lot
Faust was 100x better in Xrd and that's coming from a Strive baby 🐥🍼 It just fits his character design better when he's goofy. Sinister + banana toss doesn't quite mix well.
Dont forget Faust can move back or forward while crouching! :P
When he's crouching does he just cool on the ground and start rolling around or flop around like a starfish?
Strive is the first GG game I've picked up, and I immediately went to Faust
i was just about to request this video, great work as always Rooflemonger :D
Ah! My main, lets learn
Not sure if you’re interested, but doing a fighting game history on Mileena would be suuuper dope 👀 always down to learn more backstory
Not a bad idea, Mileena's got a lot of twists and turns come the storyline and whats considered core to her character can get randomly removed one game to another
@@rooflemonger nice 😁 can’t wait to see what happens then
Ok the new faust is still good , he got that sinister look because of the effect after he tried to help something that made him kinda unstable
Faust needs a hug
Honestly he'd probably break your spine on accident
@@crazedrabbyt221 He could heal it though. Wasn't he referred as Messiah in his pre Baldhead days?
True...Buuut isn't that what turned him into crazy crazy guy?
@@crazedrabbyt221 Wasn't it that little girl's death that caused Baldhead to go insane and become a serial killer?
*shrug*
3:10 faust covered himself in oil...
Aww, went through Faust's history and didn't even show Doc Baldhead's instant kill.
I don't even play this game but every time you say Fost I get the urge to yell F>>>au
*faust when bridget* ‘i have found a worthy opponent’
A Guilty Gear piece of me dies whenever Faust is pronounced Fawst instead of Fa-ow-st
I came here from GG Strive. What the fuck happened.
Roofle, why are you doing a mugen cha..
Oh god, not him.... Not him......
Great vid as always Mr Monger!
My guess is that Faust's powers come from years of rigorous study and training and may have been far more conventional, but his madness has flavored them into something decidedly goofier.
The way this man says Faust drives me nuts.
I always love the strangest characters in fighting games
Gammof from Star Gladiator has Faust beat by a mile. A duel yo yo wielding cappa from space. He had ultimate disrespect moonwalk taunt. He invented rage quit.
This Guy is such a weirdo lol
"The sillyness will continue in Guilty Gear: Strive"
your pronunciation of "foost" cracked me up :D
no offense, tho.
Faust the RNG god.
Thanks for the heads up bossman!
Faust in Strive looks dark as fuck, as if he's back to his serial killer days. I love it. He's a good mix of insanely bizarre like only the Japanese can come up with combined with creepy.
Go to the character bio for Faust in Strive and it will explain why his mind is slipping again.
Edit: in the huge glossary thing :)
Thanks for this!
For the upcoming Rollback netcode for Ac+r, Faust items are more partical because aside from Mini Faust, he also has mini Robo Ky and his big money....MINI POTEMKIN. Xrd player should be glad Mini Robo ky and Potemkin were removed because they are goddamn obnouxious to deal with. Robo ky will be the fastest summon and that means he dash toward you immediately upon touching the Ground. Mini POTEMKIN is his more rare summon but the stongest although very slow but it took 3 hits to take out a mini Potemkin.
So, he's the inspiration for Fantasy Strike's Lum? Very cool!
Yep! Every fantasy strike is an homage to another fighting game character(or an amalgamation of fighting game characters) in some way. For Lum its a little more direct! Although for DeGrey its the most pronounced cause he's basically just copy and paste Slayer from GG
You know I love you for this.
Faust is that one goofy side character in an anime who is literally the most powerful character but his power is overshadowed by his personality
I think you're saying Faust weird but that's OK.
I think maybe the rest of the world is saying it weird imo
@@rooflemonger haha probably
I was waiting for this character lmao
Give my man Faust a hug😔
“Don’t worry! I’m a doctor! But after this, what you’ll need is therapist.”
Strive was my first Guilty Gear and one thing is clear. Faust might not be the strongest character, but he is the best.
FACTS!!!!
As a faust main everything about him is great
Faust vs Deadpool vs Joker.
Is he any reference to the Faust from German folktale legend? Faust is the original story of making a "deal with the devil". It's all I can think of when I see the name.
99% of any references in Guilty Gear are towards metal and rock bands.
Nah, pretty sure it's just a band reference. He doesn't make any sort of bargains...at least not that we know of.
I don't think I will be playing him, but I enjoyed the video anyway.
Barely ever heard stuff about this game. Wasnt really interested but as soon as i saw this character design (strive version) I instantly wishlisted it on steam
It’s pronounced { Fow-st} after the German word
Summary: Johnny Sins turns on cartoon physics
Faust is pronounced F-ow-st my man :) you are probably aware by now but I thought I would add my voice to the storm xD
Damn that outro makes me nostalgic for super best friends play.
