Sebastian coming through with some BANGERS

I love how he's not even shocked at all the tone changes anymore.
Yes, it's a different kind of hilarious. He's just prepared these days.
*WEEEEEEEE’VE GOT ONLY ONE SKYYYYYYYYYYYYY-*
BLUE, RED, AND BLACK PAAAAARRAANOOIAAA-

I love this community
WEEEEEEEEEE'VE GOT ONLY ONE SKYYYYYYYYYYYYY
It's my time to be the lore girl here.
Fausts song here is a representation of his broken psyche, after a patient of his dieing was falsely pinned on him (killed by Zato-1), Fausts mind broke. He went from being a miracle healer to a psycho murderer, unable to see that his new way of saving everyone from suffering is not the best way to go.
This song is his broken mind coming to terms with what he's done, knowing it's wrong and trying to harmonise all these different voices to be the one true Faust.
All of the religious metaphors here is him knowing that he can't save everyone. Symbols of peace and comfort used to juxtapose the harm and destruction Faust can bring. He knows he can be the saviour of the world, but doesn't know if he deserves to be.
And then he just fucking dies in the story mode lol. 'My time has come'
he line "messiah wll not come" is actually a callback to his arcade ending in gg1 where everyone calls him the messiah
fuck i thought it was finally my turn to be lore girl :(
wish he would stop uploading these exactly when i'm working so i could get here faster lol
Faust is so much stronger than he let's himself be, bro needs a hug
@@AidenR19 nah faust is still alive according to elphellts and rams arcade mode
To give some context, Alone Infection is supposed to represent Faust’s grief/depression after losing a patient.
Is it though? If this was the case then this theme would have been around years ago in universe! What happened in the first game was years ago.
Well thats only part of it, it's really more his entire character arc across all games
@@DANCERcow While you are correct that this technically happened quite some time ago, there are a couple of factors to consider:
Firstly, this is the first time Faust has had a vocal theme, so there hasn’t exactly been an opportunity to explore this concept musically in the past.
Secondly, many themes in Strive seem to detail the character’s journey as a whole rather than solely focusing on more recent events.
Thirdly, Faust’s character in Strive places a particular emphasis on regressing to his past roots, so his theme might be intended to mirror this.
Didn't like a girl died on Faust's watch and that caused him to go mad and become Dr bald head the serial killer?
@@omrizubary Dr. Baldhead is his real name- And yeah Dr. Baldhead went mad and became a serial killer. After he regained his lucidity he renamed himself to Faust, rejecting his past self.
Its been a long time coming, glad you're finally experiencing this piece of music.
You don't need a ranking list when everything is top tier.
Great video, as always! I forgot the timestamp exactly, but you made a comment saying it's probably not as surprising to hear the stuff Daisuke Ishiwatari does with the Guilty Gear Strive soundtrack when you're used to listening to his work. The thing is, most of the really wild stuff he's done with that soundtrack is a totally new direction compared to his work on the previous two games' soundtracks (Guilty Gear XX and Xrd). So for most of us, it was just as surprising hearing the Strive soundtrack for the first time as it is for you!
I think you might find it interesting to check out some more of the vocal songs from Xrd, or some songs from XX to get an idea of the progression of his style and see some of the leitmotifs that appear in a character's themes throughout the games. Specifically, checking out Ky's theme from XX, "Holy Orders (Be Just or Be Dead)" before listening to his theme from Strive, "Roar of the Spark" would be an interesting comparison.
Been loving hearing your reactions to a ton of my favorite songs in Guilty Gear and various anime OPs. If you eventually end up listening to the whole Strive soundtrack, I'd love to hear what your top 3 songs are.
THANK YOU very much!
Glad to see you're continuing this "series" at this point haha. And glad to see Alone Infection here too, a really good choice.
(I'll now wait 8 hours so I can see the video haha. I'll edit this comment if I want to add something after watching it)
The only react channel I bother subscribing to. Actually add something to the video and don’t just sit through like everyone else. Keep it up thanks for the content
Yo Thrill Kill was sick, they made a game called Wu-Tang Shaolin Style afterwards with the Thrill Kill engine since they couldn't release that one, basically the same game without the disturbing stuff.
They also worked on Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks and the X-Men Mutant Academy games, they did some pretty good stuff back in the day.
I need to see it!
I was wondering if anyone else played that Wu-Tang game. Didn't know the history of its engine though.
Thanks for the info
i will be the context paragraph guy here. Faust used to be a world renowned surgeon until a young child under his operation died during an operation. he had never experienced a failure like this before, so the mishap caused him to go insane and on a murderous rampage. after the main story of one of the earlier games, he came to his senses and decided that killing himself was the best way to atone for his mistakes, until he found that someone else caused the operation mishap; not him. he then decided his resolve after that to always strive to save others, even if he could never be a licensed practitioner ever again. He would work outside of the established medical system, roaming, asking for nothing in return for his actions. he also somehow got some space magic thing but i have no idea where he got that and i cant find any information in my quick searches so if you care go ahead and look up more yourself.
I remember hearing he learned spacial magic to help the children under his care as a doctor feel less scared by pulling stuff like candy and toys from nowhere. I can't remember where I heard that though so take it with a grain of salt.
I dont think his loony toon powers have ever been explained further than just its magic
Shoutouts to Sebastian for the patreon request
The end chorus always makes me cry, god i love this music and i love faust.
The interesting thing about this song is that the three distinct verses seem to represent the three distinct personas Faust takes on throughout the series!
Faust was a highly regarded surgeon, almost to a worship-like degree- as a result, he had a mental breakdown when he couldn't save the life of one little girl and became a serial killer (he was partially hallucinating that he was still helping people.)
The first verse, low energy and ominous, is him as "Dr. Baldhead" (his real name) while he was a seriel killer- this ia how he appeared in the very first game.
Afterwards, he regains his lucidity and becomes ridden with guilt- he takes on the "Faust" persona, a goofy, prideful, but very kind doctor and continues to help folks under that guise, and idealized representation of the doctor he thinks he shouldve been. This is the second verse, high energy and pompous.
Finally, in the latesr game, Faust reaches another breaking point, coming to accept the fact that he can't keep pretending he isnt suffering underneath the facade, and that his latent self-hatred is holding him back. He takes on the form you see in this video, and tries to care of others as well as himself from now on. This is the third verse, low energy and somber, but leads to hopeful triumph.
10:08 Faust's "horror aesthetic" is new to this game. In the past few games he was almost entirely comic relief, and the goofy singing here is pretty similar to how he used to talk. Being familiar with the character, I didn't find the performance entirely surprising, as it probably represents his old personality. Now, saying that I "expected" it however, would be a bit of a stretch.
Mike Patton's other band, Mr Bungle, for me, is a huge inspiration for this song
I love Mr Bungle
every time i see a gear video from you pop up im so happy. love your insights on the music especially since i would never be able to formulate the words myself since i dont have the experience to. thanks for helping me experience some of my favorite music even better!
(still hoping for rock parade soon)
same mann
Just found this channel and really been enjoying the videos I've watched so far.. and now you make a Thrill Kill reference!? Subscribed.
I played that game when I was way too young, brings me back.
But yeah love your music analysis and really appreciate seeing you being so open to learning about new things like anime. Awesome stuff.
at 12:41 that section my friend immediately knew was a sample or atleast a huge reference to radioheads song no surprises
I don't think it's a sample, they probably redid the songs but it's the exact same composition. It's a cover basically (nothing wrong with that btw it's used gorgeously there)
the bassline is also slightly different
Not a sample, its in a different key and has a different melody, but its definitely inspired heavily by
One of the very best Strive has to offer. Can't wait!
Awesome choice! Another absolute banger i'd recommend is Play the Hero; that song single handedly got me into Guilty Gear!
Alone infection + faust made get in guilty gear, never regreted since.
@@mylles1112 it's awesome that guilty gear's character designs are so varied that everyone loves different characters for different reasons. The character that stuck out most to me was ABA, but faust is _sick!_ (pun intended)
@@michaelpietri9471 not only his character design but his whole lore too, once a mad sereal k!ller to a depressed zombie like person, but in between he was jolly and cartoonisg like. There are so many layers that not even the protagonist Sol had this much character developement.
Im discovering the guilty gear songs for myself one after another and it‘s so cool to watch your analyses and reaction after listening to it after a while
I wish i could hit my inputs half as fast as I clicked this video. But for real, another great analysis, and for my favorite character too. Thanks again, man.
I loved that you got Faith No More instantly - this track has a lot of DNA from the title track of their 1989 album The Real Thing, and Naoki's delivery of "blue, red, and black paranoia" is more or less a direct quote of Mike Patton singing "don't know if I'll ever cry" in the chorus of "From Out of Nowhere," the first track on that same album. Daisuke is out here cooking up the tastiest musical feasts with ingredients from 35 years ago and it's *AMAZING.*
Actually kickinf my feet im so giddy ur finally reacting to this
the best part about GGST and their community is their appreciation of music. When the game was relatively new i mained Faust, and this one time when i was against Zato we both stopped at the last part of his theme. We rematched and my opponent stopped during the "radiohead" part of this song and start again when the build up starts.
Requiem extras, and love thy subhuman self are going to be awesome
From what i've heard, the slow piano section is a reference to Radiohead, although i forget which one
Video, fun to watch as ever tony. If you are liking guilty gear musics i heavily recommend either “roar of the spark” or “find your one way” which is my favorite, mainly because of the character it’s for.
I've been waiting for you to mention Faith No More during these. Personally I hear a LOT of Mike Patton stuff in the Strive OST, a lot of different FNM albums, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, I have to imagine Daisuke Ishiwatari was a huge Mike Patton fan. Also as a quick aside, you mention Hetfield style vocals, I don't know if anyone has told you yet but Naoki Hashimoto got his music career started in a thrash band from the 80's called Outrage, so that 80's thrash sound is a huge part of his musical vocabulary. Daisuke was of course a huge Outrage fan and named MANY things in Guilty Gear after the band and their songs, and of course getting Naoki to be the vocalist for Guilty Gear music eventually.
Always love your Guilty Gear analysis.
One of my new favorite channels and songs. A little bit of everything. Thank you for doing and being you.
YESSS I've been waiting for this one, I literally checked for it the other day
Hell yeah, this one is of my most favorite ost songs
We are one song closer to "HELLFIRE" and I'm hyped for it.
I have to say, I absolutely love watching musicians react to Guilty Gear music. I already enjoy the hell out of every song, but it's a more surface level appreciation. Watching your videos, and hearing you talk about aspects of the music I had never even considered just brings up my enjoyment even more.
I never noticed it until you mentioned it but elements of this really do remind me of Faith No More
I'm always grateful when you post a Guilty Gear reaction. I watch all of your videos regardless, because your knowledge regarding music always fascinates me and makes me want to learn more about music! I got into Guilty Gear just because of its heavy metal and all around dope music, and I stayed because of just how stylish and awesome this game is! My favorite theme is probably Ky Kiske's or Zato-1's theme song. Great video as always
Typically, I think the name Faust (or similar), as used in popular culture these days, is based on a literary character, who I think may have been a doctor… He’s known for having made a deal with the devil… Naturally, it doesn’t end well… But yeah, hence the term Faustian bargain… I forget the exact details… I don’t think this Faust is based directly on the original, although there are probably some elements that might be similar.
Fun fact: the reason Faust looks like he does is because he's depressed and stopped taking care of himself.
thank you for reacting to faust theme, def one of my favorites.
Please keep up the work with the guilty gear themes
Hearing something from the band MONO would be awesome "Death in Rebirth" "To See a World" "The Auguries" are some of of my favorites that are shorter, they have some LONG tracks. They mainly do instrumental stuff and it's gorgeous.
the no surprises radiohead jumpscare got me the first time
Thanks for more guilty gear stuff!
completely unrelated from the song (although i adore GGS), ive been enjoying your break down reaction thingy videos more and more these past few months for some reason. sorry i cant give a constructive compliment, but i just want to say youre doing something well and i have no idea what that is bro but keep it up 🤜🤛
YES! I've been comparing the chorus to Faith No More (especially "From Out of Nowhere") ever since this track came out & I heard it for the first time, and almost nobody reacted to those comments. I feel so vindicated now.
im stealing Luhmee's list lol

@@kingswarthy he did it during a multi-reaction with find your flame from sonic frontiers and the god of war 3 main theme. Back in december 2022
Love seeing the guilty gear videos!
I always interpreted this song as referencing Faust vs S-ko and the exercising to free zappa!
Tony: Yeah all this is not surprising at all
No Surprises by Radio Head part: Allow me to introduce myself.
Elphelt Team please 😢
You are not alone bro
Seeing the trailer for Faust before they overhauled everything about the game where the combo they showcased was jab dash cancel jab is hilarious
FINALLY one of my favorites and best ones is just beautifull... Now... "Extras" is calling you with a growl
the patreon gotta suggest him to react to the older gg songs
ROCK PARADE NEXT ! !! ! ! Awesome video man
This 2nd day recomending ketobashita moufu of ZUTUMAYO
Hi ! Could you make a video on the Kingdom Heart 3 menu ost. I think you might be pleasantly surprised. Even without knowing the game you can feel a sort of "nostalgic slap". This is clearly one of the best themes in all video games combined.
We need Love the Subhuman Self reaction next
Ooh this’ll be good
Saw a comment on a previous guilty gear video that showed the ones you havent done from strive but believe it or not, there are even more vocal banger soundtracks from the previous game(s).(Xrd is techincally one game but its major "updates" are counted as the next game in the series by some people because they changed the title of the game.) These are all of the vocal tracks from the entire series. (just a heads up, The Disaster of Passion, Love the Subhuman Self, Perfection Can't Please Me, and The Town Inside Me are all sung by Aisha only, who was the female voice in Nessesary Descrepancy alongside Naoki. These songs are slightly different from the style of the ones Naoki is on, but are still great nonetheless.) All of them are composed by Daisuke Ishiwatari, who is the creator and mainman behind almost everything in the franchise.

I will wait for the reaction to goldlewis theme
Yo Tony, I think it would be a really fun idea to read the wiki on these character OSTs before listening. It should be a 5 minute read at most and it would give additional context to the piece. Just throwing it out there in case you're interested, I think it would make the video a tad longer which I think is worth it personally.
Faust my beloved
Someone recommend some xrd stuff plz. I love strive to death, but xrd have some more amazing stuff as well.
For a change of pace I would love to see you react to Yamashita Tatsuro's music. I hope your patrons see this and send you Ride On Time or Lovespace to start.
A new song has been added to Ado's official channel.
Kitto Coaster
It is a collaboration song with a Japanese conveyor belt sushi chain.
Please check there as well.
FINALLY!
I need a reaction to Disaster of Passion or The Town Inside Me immediately 😫
It would be cool if he did "Iron Lotus" by Mili. Xiao's theme is good (Xiao is a Library or Ruina character)
This is one of the few songs that is really hard to understand even with an understanding of the story. Some of it might actually just be nonsense fueled by Fausts trauma.
There was once a brilliant doctor called Dr Baldhead who made miracles happen with his medical applications of magic. He had a patient, a young girl who was terminally ill, and he was blocked from performing an experimental procedure that would save her life. He went through with it anyways in secret but the girl died during it for seemingly no reason. The grief drove him insane and he went on a serial murder spree until he was caught and locked away. He was temporarily let free to compete in the 2nd Holy Order Selection tournament and during the battles the cheers of the spectators reached him and snapped him out of it. He felt horrible for what he had done and ran off to find a place to end his life but before he could someone approached him and told him that his patients death had not been his fault, but a psyop orchestrated by a 3rd party. Dr. Baldhead decided to keep living in this moment to uncover the conspiracy. He disappeared from public knowledge but around the same time rumors of an unlicensed miracle doctor wearing a bag over his head called Faust (wink wink) made the rounds. He was travelling the world treating anyone he came across for free. Faust is probably the 3rd most powerful magic wielder in the series behind Happy Chaos and Asuka, and the fact that he mainly uses it medicinally doesn't take away from the impressiveness of his skill at all. He's been a key player in multiple world changing events. Eventually he found himself in a situation involving saving another little girl, this time Delilah, the little sister of Bedman. Not wanting to lose anyone ever again especially not someone so similar to the patient he lost, he overtaxed himself really hard during the mission to save her and went back to "square one" as he was calling it, and that resulted in the zombie-like state he's in in Strive. He's alive, and he's still him in there, just as compassionate and funny and silly as he always was, but he's just very scrambled up seemingly.
By the way the truth about the conspiracy was that Zato assasinated his patient, and was hired by a group called the Conclave to stop the procedure because Baldhead was likely going to discover the secret to resurrection during the procedure, a secret that the Conclave wanted to stay a secret for the purpose of their own schemes.
I like how this song doesn't resolve quite as hard as other Strive songs. The only part that changes at the end is "joy grief fun paranoia", which to me is a line that communicates that Faust is still in there despite his current state. Most Strive characters are over the hump on their character arcs, but Faust is still on his road, I don't think his story is over yet.
It was just announced a few days ago that Guilty Gear will be getting an anime adaptation set after the events of Strive. Maybe he'll appear again there and develop more.
Hey Tony! I’m not sure if you’ve seen or reacted to Bocchi the Rock but I think that as a music director and lover you would enjoy listening to some of the music. Whether you react to the anime or not I believe that reacting to some of the OSTs would make for some great content. In a nutshell, the story is about a socially awkward teenage girl who loves music, however she lacks social skills and real world experience. She always dreamt of playing in a band but she’s too nervous to express herself around others. As a result she turns to posting videos online, however, as an incoming high-school student she sees her big chance to make a good first impression with her peers. It is a coming of age story as Bocchi learns to openly express her passion for music, chase her dreams of playing in a band while navigating through her life as a high-schooler. Definitely a feel-good story, hella funny imo the comedy is written super well and of course AMAZING music. Just a suggestion though either way keep killin it, you make great content brother, keep it up!
I did the entire anime on patreon. Great stuff!!
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Awesome! I figured you might have, Bocchi, Your Lie in April, Sound Euphonium, all great. I’m glad to hear that you’re on top of your shit man, I think you really hit your stride incorporating anime into your musical analysis. Not only because you reach an entire new demographic but also because there’s some damn good music as well. The only way is up from here, keep at it!
we need to mix him up next strive song
Something like Trigger, Disaster, or Subhuman
YOU HAVE TO DO DEMON SLAYER SEASON 1 intro!!!!! PLEASE!!!! 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 It will be your #1 video‼️‼️🚨🚨
I hope Tony gives some SNK soundtracks a chance alot of real good one from them.
Huh, i guess ill find out.
Faust when he eats his item
hey i know this is probably meaningless but i'll try anyway... so i was watching the frist episode of a anime to see if it would be a good show and turn out it stinks worse than shit, but man when the ending began playing i was surprised, it is dope as hell and i would like to you to do a react.
