sin is so funny, because he wields a literal flag. the context behind it is that he asked his adoptive dad sol badguy (don't ask it's complicated) what he should wield as a weapon and sol said, "I don't know, go wave a flag or something" and he took it literally.
Sol's more like his Cool Uncle that he goes on trips with.
Cool grandpa, 10/10 would Sidewinder again
@@skywoofyt5375 cool grandpappy
Father in law you mean
I love how Sin is the complete antithesis of the "they look eight years old but they're actually an eight thousand year old demigod" anime trope. Sin is 5, but looks like he's in his early 20s (because gears age faster than people) and is jacked as fuck (because of his training with Sol) but he still has the brain of a 5 year old: bro is dumb as hell and I love him for that.
And hes only that dumb because Sol taught him absolutely nothing and treated him like a 3 year old
"Sol, I want a weapon"
"Uh yeah, go grab that flag over there"
"Sick"
Accurate bonding between grandpapi Sol and Sin.
They’re so wild for that though 😂 like I’ll never laugh at 16 year old Jotaro being built like Mike Tyson ever again after this
@@ChocolateKieran It's so weird, all gears mature physically at a very fast rate but not all mentally mature that fast. Like how Sin is 5, jacked and an absolute idiot while his mom, another character called Dizzy is 12 and married to Ky
@@borringguy1006
Which is even more wild considering Sol is a freakin' scientist. Sin had one of the best tutors he could ever need, but that tutor's attitude was essentially "I don't wanna be a teacher, here's basic math. Now go punch that mountain till you break it."
Before creating Guilty Gear, the creator was (and still is) a musician. That's why he adds albums in this series.
Oh for real?! That’s actually dope!
@ChocolateKieran that's the reason you'll hear many people say you're paying for a music album with a free game
@@emperoriro4391 and movie.
@@ChocolateKieran They had a concert of a bunch of the songs from strive at the world tour finals and he was playing guitar in the band.
A.B.A. is pronounced “Abba,” like the Swedish music group
4:20 That's the US president Vernon, only shows up in the story mode, lot of us were expecting him to be DLC since he's shown to have like a robotic arm that can launch nukes in the story, but so far no luck.
Hopefully he makes it into the next DLC pack then 😂
nah Nuke Launcher arm is too tame for this game
@@mop-kun2381 100% Damage Max 💀
@@mop-kun2381country destroying instakill lazer:
@@ChocolateKieran it’s not. they already teased who the next character is, I’m not gonna spoil it tho, just in case you want to react to it in may.
But mabye we will get Vernon next sesson.
A.B.A my beloved.
She scares me man 😭
Brother I just saw you on definitely not definitive, you've got good taste in reaction channels 😂
Asphalt my beloved.
😂
@@ChocolateKieran Yandere Girl
21:54 Fun fact about the song here: it is all one female vocalist, Molly Daisy Scarpine, who is also a part of a band called Hyper Psychic
24:46 speaking of FMA. Aba is a homunculus, and she has "Hoenheim" brand written on her clothes in Strive
That makes so much sense!!!
The Key, Paracelsus, is also named after her creator (it's not his actual name but he rolls with it now), Paracelsus being the chosen name that the real world Swiss Alchemist, Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hoenheim took on later in life.
@@Sassaparilla It's way cooler anyways.
In Elphelt's theme, there is a brief part which has a very similar tune to "All I want for Christmas Is you".
That's because Elphelt's birthday is 25th of December.
There are other references in the song too. Rub a Dub Dub is from a collection of Christmas Nursery Rhymes, the Hallelujahs are an obvious reference, and there's an Amazing Grace motif as well.
Oh god Mariah Carey made her way into guilty gear as well
@@Sassaparillawait rubadubdub is a Christian thing??? Why do I not remember this? Gonna look it up
@@HazeEmry Yep, it was first published in vol 2 "Christmas Box" back in the 1700s.
I'M SCARED OF THE LAUGHTER BUT
Asuka was a character that went unnamed for at least 15 years.
It's still esier to call him That Man sometimes
@@AmadeyAzalinWhich man?
@@corryjamieson3909 that man, you know that guy who's called that man
@@orein1880 Care to elaborate more?
@@corryjamieson3909 ok no joking this time "that man" was the only thing we knew about asuka's name for the longest time so alot of people just called him "that man" because the game called him that before it was revealed that his name was asuka
The way you said "Oh its a Bed! Bedman!" Sounds so funny and out of context. Like, yes a bed, makes sense lol
15:37 basically, gears age like twice as fast physically until they reach their prime (this took 3 years for sin, and the same amount for his mom) and once that happens they literally just stop aging, guilty gear lore is just weird like that
well they were designed that way. full fighting potential asap, without the downsides of getting old.
gear are humanoid weapons , have no sense wait 16 years to have a funtional weapon
bro you know some crazy 6 year olds if you think gears age twice as fast
@@lizabeth529every 6 year old is crazy
19:45 The reason for season 1 having 5 characters and each subsequent season (including season 4, presumably) having only 4 is because Goldlewis was presumably delayed at launch and was originally meant to be in the base game.
I cannot remember where I read this, so my source is just "trust me bro", but it's pretty compelling considering Goldlewis dropped only 16 days after the game launched.
The source has always been "just trust me bro", it just makes so much sense considering that Strive was supposed to come out in 2019 and was delayed to 2021.
@@AofCastle I swear I read it somewhere credible though. I might be tripping but I will die on this grave. I have a terrible memory sadly.
@@oblisk7778 I also vaguely remember reading it from a good source, but I've never been able to find it.
If I remember correctly it’s because he was found amongst the other base roster characters in the beta game files. Couple that with him coming out so soon after release and it paints a compelling picture imo.
It definitely makes sense
Wait for slayer man.
He will rock everyone's socks off
I got a sneak of him reacting o Rev XRD’s characters and honestly… I’m a fan already
@@ChocolateKieran Fun fact: Slayer is a vampire, and he invented dandysm
Bedman? Is peak guilty gear lore:
In short:
its the ghost of reality bending psychic posessing a Terminator Bed in order protect his little sister...
That or the bed is acting on said reality bending psychics last wishes.
So in the previous game Bedman was a hyperintelligent guy in a permanent coma just due to how smart he is it would kill him. He's actually pseudoconsious and was outfitted with a mobile bedframe. He ends up dying in a way that even in Guilty Gear terms scream "yeah, this guy isnt coming back." Then in Strive it turns out his soul has possesed his bedframe to protect his sister
and he is like... kinda giga imortal now? the bedframe just doesnt seem to stop as long as his sister is still going, and given the fact that his sister also has the same case of hyperintelligence its like... lucky she hates violence
Most normal guilty gear character & Backstory:
@@TVHEADtm this is actually tame
@@octillionZ SO tame. "smart dude doing all he can to protect his sister" is up there with being the tamest in the series. Bridget's up there too since she just left home to make money and find out who she wants to be (and not worry the then _his_ parents about raising a child thought to be taboo (it's a superstitious thing))
@@HazeEmry dont undersell bedman as just bedman?'s Objective. Bedman is odd but he is tame for gg.
A kid that got infected with a disease that brought him 10 billion years of knowledgeable and made him so smart that if his brain ever ran in full capacity hell die, so they put him in a coma and in a magical bed construct which he instantly takes over using his giga brain, goes to the information realm and kills a dog
My guy should rename himself The Reference Man 😂 he got a reference for EVERY situation
You have a point there 😂 LOL
Fun fact about Elphelt in Season 3:
She is the actual sister to Ramlethal, a connect clone to Aria/Justice which is now one with Jack-O, whom is the mother(kinda) of Dizzy, who is the wife of Ky and Sin's mother, and technically a child of Aria/Justice/Jack-O and Sol/Fredrick.
In other words: Welcome to Guilty Gear Lore.
Even the guy whos only played strive a little sees the trailer for happy chaos and gose "yea he looks cracked"
I love how you can see the lightbulb over his head when he realizes why he's named bedman at 16:10
"I don't know you lady."
*Guitar(?) starts up*
The thing with GoldLewis using the coffin area 51 is that's the whole area 51 in that coffin and if he acknowledges it and he will get abducted so he just pretends its not there
I think you should make a vídeo reacting to the characters lore... There is some crazy shit in guilty gear's lore from the silly to the "hold up what!?" Kinda things
The biggest challenge in explaining Guilty Gear lore is not sounding like a crazy person.
“So Y2k actually happens abd there’s someone destroying research labs that the government has labeled “BADGUY” and then Japanese people got put in reservations because Japan blew up because Pope Juggalo thought they were too OP and then That Man is revealed to be Those Men.”
“...and now let me explain I-no and everything she did.”
@@jasongarrett768 and explain how Ky has a Son who is bigger than him but is Just 5 year old with a mother who is 11 and how she is technicly Sol's daugther
And how despite the designs, between Sol and Ky , ky is the actual badass Warriors kid soldier who had a hard life, while Sol's was nerd who got super Powers that carries him while being lazy af
So Happy Chaos is the former teacher of Asuka Kreuts (The creator of the gears) and is the sole reason for the limitless supply of energy, or magic, that exists in the modern-day GG world. He discovered the backyard, a dimension that exists outside of the human realm full of information and magic, a place that would crush humans because of the sheer density of information in that plain. His appearance is the result of him staying too long in the backyard and losing hope in humanity, losing himself and his purpose in the first place throughout time, he knows everything, past, present, and future. Happy Chaos truly is a broken anomaly, figuratively and literally.
GG Strive lore is kinda wild lmao
I feel like I’ve GOTTA check it out 😤
@@ChocolateKieran please do, its unironically great
@@ChocolateKieran i said it in another comment, but definitely check out Woolie Versus' series on the lore
Please do more! This series is amazing!
I intend to! 1000 likes and we’re going the Instakills from XRD next 🫡
@@ChocolateKieran Oh yeah those are great! My personal favorites are Dizzy's, Baiken's and Raven's. Can't wait! I Hope I can catch you on stream sometime and play some matches. Looking forward to your future content!
It's always great seeing someone new discover Guilty Gear and it's crazy world; easily one of my favorite pieces of fiction out there, fighting game or otherwise! Also, fun fact: Sin is Sol's grandson, because Ky married Sol's daughter. This also makes Ky Sol's son-in-law, a fact both of them try very hard to forget about.
It’s funny you say it’s like full metal when A.B.A is a homunculus 😂
When I saw somebody say this it clicked that they’re pulling from the same references or inspired in some way, makes perfect sense 😂
Bridget took me completely by surprise. All drama aside, Bridget is the most fun character I've played in any fighting game, and completely unlike any other character I've ever used. She's riduculous. Weak damage, amd squishy health, but an absolute blast to control.
Brisket :3
@@corgiqueen7656 bucket :3
baguette :3
>weak damage
I dunno man, blitzing down a Potemkin in ~13 seconds says otherwise
"He can make the ground bleed?"
Let me clear this up: the ENTIRE cast are mages, all of them except Goldlewis.
Everyone else, baiken and Gio included, use magic.
Magic in guilty gear is a complex form of energy manipulation where the mana reserves and imagination can denote how powerful they naturally are.
Magic spells are closer executable files than traditional spells.
Theres also shortcuts like Forbidden Beasts, Outrage, Backyard Convergence etc.
How much power you want and what it becomes are entirely up to you minus your birth which can come with huge benefits like Night Kin.
If you ever get interested in the lore, there's a great series by WoolieVersus on CZcams, going from the very beginning up to the end of Xrd (last game before Strive), it is even approved by ArcSys. There's also "The Entire Guilty Gear Story in 14 Minutes" by Staiven which is also a pretty good abridged version.
If you end up watching please react to it as well. Just found your channel and I've been loving it, you're very wholesome, sir.
Johnny's old kit had gambling. He haid coins, if you hit your enemies with coins, one of your special moves gets stronger. But only on hit, and you had a finite amount of coins. This is essentially gambling: a finite amount of money and more opportunities to fuck up than not.
11:55 they actually blew the White house up first, then they put it back into the game
No? The white house flew to the moon.
@@evilded2 im pretty sure the old white house got blew up by Justice in the Crusade like a hundred years ago along with the entirely of old America
@@evilded2 pretty sure the old White House got blew up by Justice in the first Crusade a hundred years ago along with the rest of America
To answer the questions at the end, season 4 is confirmed to be coming. During the same announcement trailer, they showed the silhouette of the 4th character for season 3, and everyone is certain it is Slayer, a fan favorite character that is an op vampire like Nagoryuki, a Nightless.
I always love to say that Guilty Gear is just a studio album that just so happens to include a game.
Lmfao. I love you for saying that
I think it would be a cool idea to react to all the character theme songs! They all tell the story of the characters through the lyrics, a CZcams named Clouddrop has lyric videos for all the songs on their channel
All done by ear iirc so it's not 100% correct but still good
its crazy that the creator of magic uses guns
If you want to understand the lore, theres a very very good series by Woolie Verses that covers all the games before Strive that i highly recommend
I'm so glad to see someone new getting into Guilty Gear! Guilty gear is my favorite fighting game series, and I own practically all the games. My favorite characters to play in Strive are Zato-1 and Sin Kiske
So basically the reason there are so little Japanese characters in the game is because for somewhat good intentions, Asuka nuked Japan. However, since Japan is gone, any Japanese characters automatically get access to Ki, which basically puts you on par with gears for some reason.
A.B.A (a reference to the band ABBA, I think) is wild af. And yes, the key is her (reluctant) husband. A shape-shifting demonic axe.
Oh, and Sin is 5 years old.
The rest of Guilty Gear makes this kinda sh¡t sound. normal
Best part is it's name wasn't always Paracelsus it was originally Flament Nagel. A.B.A.'s lore is both tragic and slightly terrifying due to how unhinged she has become.
They made Testament hot and two years later I still don't know how to feel about it.
Get the One Punch Man character "Do-S" mod for Testament. It is a REALLY good mod.
Everyone loves Brisket
Bedman? is an amazing evolution from Bedman
the character is very cool but the gameplay is less interesting
Daisuke has some of the best queer rep in media rn, I mad appreciate him for that(it definitely helps that Daisuke has stated themself to be "beyond gender" too lmao)
fr? if so that's awesome, was it in like a interview or something that I haven't seen?
Gender is too human for Diasuke. Diasuke is a god.
@@Coco-Loco TRUE!
Sadly the way Bridget was changed was lame to me, they should instead have made a new character or something. Like the boy who is forced to be a girl because of his superstitious parents attempting to prove to them they don't need to believe that way ends up doubting themselves and changing just how they wanted. To me it simply resembles grooming. Don't really care about Testament since he's always been kind of a neutral character regarding gender.
yeah, cos of the way gears work, Sin is 5 years old, and his mother is 8 years old
gears mature super quickly apparently
To be fair... As much as it's a trope, it makes sense biologically due to the benefits.
Reach maturity fast to be at peak physical strength, increasing chances of survival, like Dizzy does (Although I guess that's also peak magical strength).
Or
Reach maturity fast to increase the rate at which offspring is produced just like rabbits.
The only difference is that gears get to just *stop* ageing after like 4 years of being alive, unlike rabbits who have a short lifespan due to their fast ageing.
@@scotginger4690 I know, I know. Also, the known trope is typically the other way around, with characters being between 20 and 10,000 years old yet still appearing incredibly young
Season 4 is currently in development possibly dropping in with the first character around august or maybe september. Seasons 3 final character is teased to be Slayer, a returning character from XRD.
He needs to check out the official character guides there like 5 minutes long each and give u a good idea of what they do and how they play
WHAT THE- I GOT SHOUTED OUT?!
I was just casually playing with my dog in the intro then I heard my name. 🤣
Thanks Kieran. I’m glad you’re checking out Guilty Gear characters. Imo they’re some of the most interesting and well designed characters in fighting game history.
hahaha glad you managed to catch your shoutout 😁 and thank you, it’s been fun so far, looking forward to more!
Me looking at Paracelsus (ABA's Key) :
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME, NOT HIM
Bro should host a GGST online tournament frfr
Wait… I would actually love that! As a complete noob hosting a tournament and watching everybody play and commentating while live would be SICK!
@@ChocolateKieran thanks for the compliment. But if you actually consider to actually do a tournament. I would recommend looking into strives online features. I don't really fight in online private matches but I think there is a feature to invite people into a small room so they can interact or fight each other. And I would also recommend using discord or some place to post about the tournament (well if your actually going to host a tour. But all I am doing is giving you some ideas lol)
@@ChocolateKierancohost it with some legendary GG players like Hotashi or Romolla or WOOLIE VS. Their lore & mechanics expertise would balance out your perspective as a newcomer
the character design is what got me to start playing and thr DLC has delivered EVERY time. even if characters tend to release a little underpowered, all of them are unique to play and have incredible attention to their design
Let me warn you if someday you want to dive in Guilty Gear Story...
This lore have hands
You need to react to their moveset guide in the official arc system works CZcams channel next at least asuka
so bascially, sin is half a gear, so he grew up to be physically an adult by the age of 3.
his mother, Dizzy is the same as she's currently 10 years old but is basically an adult in terms of physical and mental age.
by being a GEAR they also have near immortally as Sol has lived over 100 years with it being estimated him being 184 by strive.
You can also look at each character's starter guide posted by arcsys which shows each characters moveset and will include all the supers!
Baiken is a one armed samurai, hence why she was holding her sheath in her mouth
I've been playing GG since XX on ps2. Character designs have always been super wacky, but Strive cranked the dial to 11 and went ham with it. Love to see it.
Please listen to the themes on their own too! They are absolute BANGERS
A month later, they’ve announced final character, It’s Slayer the Dandy vampire
I am surprised you didnt do the original character trailers.
Character Guides were also released with all the DLC characters which might be also worth reacting too. I think there are some really cool aspect to some of these characters that isn't very obvious from the trailers, Goldlewis and Asuka for me. Enjoyed the video.
as a long time guilty gear fan that was fun. best of luck
Thank you! Really glad you guys had as much fun with it as I have been
6:15 Welcome to Guilty Gear lore face
Testament is a gear the 2 lil succubi are like familiars they use them to channel abilities one turns into the crow the other the bloody blade of the sythe
Guilty Gear lore is the most batshit insane confusing shit.
GOATlewis Dickinson, the most fun fighting game character ever made.
Johnny does have some gambling aspects to his playstyle. Sometimes going for the cards is risky and his dash is very high commitment because of how risky it is (you can't really block out of it), but all of it is more of a byproduct than intentional gambling.
8:15 Baiken’s accent in english is rhe american equivalent of the countryside accent for native speakers in Japanese! This is how they translate the accents over.
You mean Kansai dialect? That makes sense though
@@ChocolateKieran Yeah lol the name escaped me when I was typing it
It's very likely we will get another season. If that's true it's even more likely it is announced during EVO, because the next character comes out in May. That leaves a couple months between character release and an EVO announcement.
They did announce a season four recently and showed a silhouette of the next fighter.
The DLC characters all have an additional trailer that explains their movesets and shows off their specials and supers in full, if you want you could react to those to see the full animations.
You should look at the Guilty Gear XRD Rev 2's Character Intros, Instant Kills & Victory Poses. Its the Guilty Gear game before this one, but it has a lot more depth into its animation unlike Strive
You have GOT to do a reaction to the lore video. It's too god damn insane.
"full metal alchemist kind of thing" I mean yeah did you see the giant space doors? definitely felt like a nod since the character is something called a homonculus as well...
22:35 that "Wait, what?" hahahaha. Yeah, that's Elphelt for ya
I'm so happy you like Testament 🎉🎉🎉
Now I NEED kieran to react to “Potemkin.mp4”
Lmao!
Guilty Gear has some really good and unique characters, and even if you hate fighting some of them you can still love their theme songs.
Have you ever played Skullgirls? I know it’s a little bit older, but they just released a DLC character last week and every character in the game is so interesting. I think he would be able to react to it and have as much fun as you did with this.
BEDMAN? IS PEAK FICTION
I haven't played GG Strive in a long time but I do wanna come back mainly for Elphelt, I love her new design and her theme.
Bridget is a bounty Hunter
I love ABA and baiken you picked right tbh lol love the vid
Yo you gotta react to all of the character themes. Guilty Gear Strive is really just a banger album with a bonus game
happy to see another guilty gear video!
I love how the community make Elphetyuki ship canon 1 day after her release
I should go back to Guilty Gear someday. Never played Strive, beta aside and I wanna see the fan favorites return.
Johny more like Yamazaki from Fatal Fury / King of Fighters or if you want more close resemlse to SF - Poison from SF5. Long reach normals, stance special with 3 angles long reach hit. He also not so mobile but he has tricks. In GG XX and GG Xrd he can toss coins that buff his special slash attack. In Strive coins was changed into cards. He throw card and you can slash it to make additional hit
So fun thing, the creator of the series also does all the music
This is Elphelt’s world. You and me? We just live in it
Afk Journey been sponsoring everyone now thats it out but I already pre registered since I played AFK Arena before
How’re you finding it so far?! 👀
@ChocolateKieran its actually pretty cool I like how it has some elements of Arena with but more in depth and even some of the same characters and expanded lore
please react to all the themes I understand if its going to be in parents but the themes are so good.
BEDMAN IS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER OF ALL TIME I can't WAIT TO SEE WHAT HE SAYS
edit: what he said is true cause bedman is low tier
At least I wouldn’t be alone then 😂
You should react to all Character Models Comparison - Tag Tournament 2 vs Tekken 7 vs Tekken 8!
Bridget is a trans woman, and she's awesome.
I love her!!! 😤 she seems so fun
With a background that resembles grooming which kind of makes it gross. Decades as a boy in the franchise yet all of a sudden wants to be a girl?
I'd suggest if you get guitly gear get the daredevil edition of it bc that comes with every season pass
Bridget my Beloved
You should react to the music of the characters!
I do wish that they didn't change the play style of Ramlethal and Jack-O in strIVe. They were my favorite characters to play. Not i can barely stand playing as either of them.
