Baiken evolution is just wholesome for me. I like to think that when baiken first started out, she was poor af, Skinny af, no food, no shower, no shampoo, old tattered clothes, etc. Then when she got popular over the years, her pay increased and got a lot of donations from the fans. Then she ate well, got new clothes, her hair got healthier & fluffier, hit the gym, etc. In time, she built confidence for herself and developed that badass walk. So proud of her.
@@Acesahn To follow that logic, her next gait have her sword casually slung over her shoulder and whistling a hymn or singing a Japanese work son and the previous two stances be a joke, like in a joke victory screen her could do laster walk and have her tripping comically and the bend back can her rubbing her spine and talking about needing a shower. First= angry, seething, rage and blood lusty like a hurt dog, 2nd= confident strutting warrior, 3rd= So much of badass she can go from goofing around to terrifying lethal on a dime, don't have to show rage or cocky confidence.
Others might find this "too much" or a stretch but I like it lmao Thought about it for a sec and just lookin at how everything evolved, nice headcanon, don't think it's _that_ outlandish pfft
Ironically her design has typically been more popular than her gameplay. Before Strive there wasn't a lot of Baiken players, and it was often a meme in the GG community that, "Baiken mains," don't actually play guilty gear. I'm hoping that Strive being so popular and having good netcode will change that.
Interesting how throughout her design she maintains her savagery while still getting less and less unhinged which does mirror her character progression quite nicely
@SNES Nes Guilty Gear X2 and X2 Accent Core Plus. It’s hinted that she has side of her that enjoys killing when she fought Slayer. It mentioned it in her Story in Accent Core Plus.
@@guess9097 back from before Kanye went off the deep end a remix of interviews was made into a song called "I miss the old Kanye". It's actually quite good.
I love the first design of Baiken, her body looked more balanced and that style is so specially classic. But Baiken now looks thicc and lewder, just like the other regulars anime girls these days.
I love how in Strive everyone got new looks but with Baiken they went "Where the fuck are we supposed to go from here!? We have peaked! Nothing we do will ever top this!" then gave her a new coat of paint and called it a day. But yes, Baiken's Xrd design is just too good.
I like that booba has been a legitimate part of her character arc. Best as i can tell, none of the other ladies have gotten bigger between games, which is kind of batty considering she's been a full grown adult since the first game.
I'm not good at English nor do I know the guilty gear series well, but maybe her chest got bigger instead of 'grew', because she looks more healthy in general maybe she eats better and all? Or do you have the reason since you talk a bout a character arc? I am curious about it
@SandorThePuppy Judging from the early sprites, I believe Baiken always had big titties. It's the post-Xrd artstyle that makes her boobs stand out more then before, just like how Chipp and Zato become much more muscular then before.
@SandorThePuppy Exactly, thanks for saying it. Her booba increased to increase DLC-sales for thirsty bois and her design gut diminished for it. She was cool and badass without her condescending walk animation. It's sad...
In between previous and current generation guilty gear , she must have went to the Busty Bust Samurai school for ladies . Also probably did pilates , cause her posture is better . It's a same that she didnt maintain her roughness , thats what was appealing to me tbh .
Mfs buffed her chest more than the actual character, (seriously, compare Baiken's artwork from the first guilty gear with the strive one, its hilarious how it changed)
I only know Baiken recently due to CZcams pop up a few days ago. Beside her iconic characteristics such as hair, boobs, lost an eye and an arm and traditional kimono with the sword, she reminds me of Sekiro who also lost an arm. And her replaced arm is just like prosthetic arm of Sekiro. Since, gear series have been established before the arrival of Sekiro, I think FromSoftware might inspire the design of her character.
Scientific question. Why in the 2 more modern side by sides one has shadowing on the chest and the other doesn't. I'm guessing an attempt at censorship?
I love how her hair grows longer in each iteration of the series. She's quietly turning into a super saiyen
Not only hair though
@@twins2936 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
@@twins2936 true
Ssj to ssj3
Hair?
i think as a community everyone has just agreed that baiken is undeniably a great character in almost all aspects
No.
The majority of Baiken fans has never played a single GG
Yeah i agree
Its cool,balanced, very creative character, bealtiful,her personality is epic and have an aspect with all fiting games fan deserves if you know xd
shes too easy
I love how the thumbnail shows that Baiken's posture has improved greatly since her debut. Good for her
Baiken's been taking care of herself more as time went on, thus leading to a better posture. That's actually kinda wholesome if you think about it.
She can finally lift her tiddies
@@andrewowens4421also implies the hair color change isn't just due to technical limitations but also just bc she took a bath
A tiny detail you missed, in strive she still has her old throw, you just need to hold the grab button
pretty high production value for this vid, wasn't expecting it, well done
Ty 🙏
Hey, she’s one of the most popular gals in Guilty Gear! Expect nothing less!

I always felt she was in a constant state of death seeking only... no one seems to be able to do her in lol.

Literally typed being "so proud" of a made up video game character lmao. It's like shame of being stupid isn't even a thing anymore 😂
I never knew just how popular Baiken was till the recent player increase after her release in Strive
She is likes Vergil version of Guilty gear, whenever she shows up, everyone is hype af
Ironically her design has typically been more popular than her gameplay.

@@JTown465 i feel like i'm being called out lol
@@zanr6943 Hey, it's never too late to become a True Baiken main and tatami gaeshi your way to victory!
@@JTown465 it wasn't that much of a meme and netcode is not going to solve it. Dumbing down how she plays however just might
Baiken’s hair has became fluffier throughout the series I swear.
God tier ponytail
Yes! Very important!
God tier conditioner
Oh it’s more than her hair that’s growing.
@@mrdude88 they said fluffier though
Interesting how throughout her design she maintains her savagery while still getting less and less unhinged which does mirror her character progression quite nicely
Remember when Baiken almost went crazy from bloodlust in story mode? Don't believe that was ever brought up again.
She's "The mirror of the world" after all
@SNES Nes Guilty Gear X2 and X2 Accent Core Plus. It’s hinted that she has side of her that enjoys killing when she fought Slayer. It mentioned it in her Story in Accent Core Plus.
It's not as prevalent in Strive due to meeting Delilah and being under her tutelage.
I-No just sorta has that effect on people.
@@wesleyharris1723 is that supposed to be like a shocking twist..? she’s a samurai, killing is what she knows
I miss the old Baiken
The hunched angry Baiken.
The ruff life Baiken.
But I don't hate the new Baiken.
The smooth moves Baiken.
What's the melody from?
@@guess9097 back from before Kanye went off the deep end a remix of interviews was made into a song called "I miss the old Kanye".
It's actually quite good.
Baiken is one of my top ever female characters since I found out about her in Xrd. Even her old design is freaking cool!
@@serpant333 personally I wouldn't say she is better. But I would say she is equally as bad ass
I'm just glad Faust fixed her scoliosis
Said that before, but Baiken looks like the kind of person that would still find a way to kick ass even if she lost her last eye XD
Tis but a scratch!
Takamura from Hajime no Ippo still managed to knock out his opponent getting his face so bruised the swelling literally made him blind
Zato-1 gon teach Baiken how to fight blind
She went from looking like a vagrant living meal to meal, with a torn up robe, to looking like she's been eating good.
She a whole snack right about now!!!!😍
I’m confused as to why people don’t realize her boobs always been big 🤣 they just took it to another level
@@drereadus8093 cause everyone know
She ate a good meal,train stronger and was grown relatively thicker.
And apparently from eatin' literal trash too according to her in Strive's 2nd story.
I love how her bio says Baiken abandons Womanhood, but Womanhood definitely didn't abandon Baiken!
She doesn't care about her womanhood, so that's why she doesn't care about her melons being seen all the time.
Womanhood is like a clingy ex that just can’t let go of her
This is so well put together, that's a high quality montage, I love it
Each release, her hair gets fluffier and her booba gets more bouncy.
She really went from
"I feel bad for her" to
"YAAAS QUEEN💅💅, SLASH THEM"
baiken has the sword cleaning win animation too in the earlier series.
And the smoke comes back in Strive, too.
This is a nice little tribute to Baiken. Well done.
I love the first design of Baiken, her body looked more balanced and that style is so specially classic. But Baiken now looks thicc and lewder, just like the other regulars anime girls these days.
Even as someone who barelly played Guilty Gear you can tell how cool she is and proud of it.
This more than makes up for the rushed Old vs New for Baiken. Thank you so much for this.
time went pretty good for her. if there is one character that i want to Meet Again, thats Justice. that ofc, with the same design.
I’m gonna give you 34 reasons why she’s now everyone’s favorite character!
#1.she's poor and have bouncy oppai
💀
For some people there is only 1reason 💀
@@everyredgeistaken7539 2 reasons
@@sphericcake3346 and the rest 🐹
You stopping the music when she laugh, it is Highly Appreciated. Thank you my good man, Have a good day.
would love to see more evolutions of the others
Samurai shodown has Baiken,too.
this is a really cool edit by the way
It makes a lot of sense for her to be thicker in general for being a samurai, her design in Strive is easily the best
@SandorThePuppy cool dont care
2:44
The absolute sass of this walking
I love how her design is based off Kenshin
I heard some people say Daisuke doesn't know if Kenshin is a male or female and thus this happened
You know you're a well designed character when your design alone causes CZcams to ban your videos.
Which videos is CZcams banning?
Why is Baiken so damn badass 😥❤🌸
It’s all the trauma and rage.
Ragna the blood-edge syndrome
Glad to see that character grows so well.👌
Song: Mirror of the World (Baiken Theme) - Guilty Gear Strive OST 😉
No surprise that Beidou in Genshin is my favorite, just like Baiken is to Guilty Gear
I miss the big stomp from Xrd, the super loses so much impact in strive.
2:38 Depression moment.
She used to be just a girl when this all started. Now she has grown into such a powerful and confident woman... T_T
Wasn't she born during the Crusades?
I’ve made Baiken my main since X 2, and she will always be my favorite character
Fr she is so awesome
Strive Baiken can still do the stab grab if you use Dust for grabbing.
What a great video, thank you
Anytime
The one constant: Her dunking on Sol.
good shit bro!
Surely I can't be the only one that thought she had both arms until now right?
Best comparison I have ever seen.
She's the Vergil of Guilty Gear and i love her.
I love how in Strive everyone got new looks but with Baiken they went "Where the fuck are we supposed to go from here!? We have peaked! Nothing we do will ever top this!" then gave her a new coat of paint and called it a day. But yes, Baiken's Xrd design is just too good.
Worth 3 min's of my life. 👍

Can't wait for More 🙂
Very coool!
Can we appreciate the fact that this video has NNN in it's tags
The perfect balance of badass and hotness
She just kept getting better and better.
In between previous and current generation guilty gear , she must have went to the Busty Bust Samurai school for ladies . Also probably did pilates , cause her posture is better .
It's a same that she didnt maintain her roughness , thats what was appealing to me tbh .
Daisuke n his team really did well in GGST characters' design n art
That buddhist chant like metal is crazy. I really highly recommend checking out Ningen Isu(Human Chair) if you dig it.
to this day i still have no idea what the opening lines are but its fire
The hair just keeps growing...
Yeah, the hair.....
such a kickass character design along with personality
Major glow up from 2D to 3D. ❤
holy shit, she's so cool! much cooler than i thought, and i already thought she was pretty rad!
I like that her hair just gets poofier over the years.
Not the only thing that got poofier
@@lordarcanix get your heads out of the gutter before the horny police come!
I like the fact even she is a tough person, she still has her soft side.
Her OG victory screen is her instakill victory screen in xrd
This editing is why I subbed
I love you for saying that, happy to deliver
@@LegacyOfKaiser 😇
Nice physics 😏
The hair of course. Definitely, definitely the hair…
Yup I see a lot of where of the character development went
her posture gets better with each game
And do think this all started because Daisuke got confused watching an episode of Rurouni Kenshin and thought he was a cute girl.
Her personality got bigger every version of the game
Coming back thicker everytime
My phone is so impressed to this scene 1:51 it turn from 1080p to 480p
Her super reminds me of a power ranger villain that basically just spammed 1 move and lost when the rangers got around it
That walk animation is hilarious
One armed samurai, Baiken is definitely someone I could get along
Bigger, Bigger, BIGGER, BIGGER!
X = TML >>> Xrd > Strive
She's become much heavier on being a fanservice focused character with her bad-assery being bought down
Nice BGM
Mfs buffed her chest more than the actual character, (seriously, compare Baiken's artwork from the first guilty gear with the strive one, its hilarious how it changed)
That was her artwork, but still quite big bazonkers in her old sprite
Her artwork in GG1 isn't accurate, like alot of the GG1 art, its not representative of the actual character
They wanted to recreate Mai but with a swordsman type of character
1:42 in the background, is that the screen door from her instant kill in xrd?
I can't concentrate from the sick ass music Baiken has
Everytime, EVERYTIME I see a character from this game, it's either a so badass or so sexy charadesign, and often both !
I only know Baiken recently due to CZcams pop up a few days ago. Beside her iconic characteristics such as hair, boobs, lost an eye and an arm and traditional kimono with the sword, she reminds me of Sekiro who also lost an arm. And her replaced arm is just like prosthetic arm of Sekiro. Since, gear series have been established before the arrival of Sekiro, I think FromSoftware might inspire the design of her character.
Good posture goes a long way
She getting "healthier" every iteration
Was introduced to Baiken when I got GG Isuka on the ps2. Couldn't play her for shit and ended up being a Ky and Jam main. lol
The zoom in the end
THAT HRT MUST BE CRAZY
cool epic seven collab
very well put
So she did a back job interesting 😂
I like how she got worse at sweeping with her legs
Baiken is straight up badass af.
Scientific question. Why in the 2 more modern side by sides one has shadowing on the chest and the other doesn't. I'm guessing an attempt at censorship?
Why you didnt you include Samurai Shodown Baiken as well?
