@@KILMER_YT You're welcome! I always enjoy your thoughts about character design and fashion.
“Why is Faust so sad now?”
Being a doctor during a pandemic for the past year changes a man
OOF.
LMAO
He just found out about all the anti-vaxers.
He's tired bro 😭
Hoping the story DLC explains it, but this is too good to not make it my headcanon until then
calling sol "old man rock" is hilariously accurate because canonically he is over 100 years old and would totally have thought this is what "cool" people wear back when he was a scientist in 2014
He is Guilty Gear equivalent of Disco Dan in our era. In Sol's case, he is Woodstock.
yeah and if you look at his bio his hobby is listening to queen and his like is his sheer heart attack record
He's also based on Freddie Mercury and if you've seen some of *his* costumes.......Sol is bein' mellow.
He’s also “allegedly” a grandpa as well
he's almost 200 years old, 'over 100' is a serious understatement
When she doesn't like Axl, Sol, nor Leo
*Sad gorilla noises*
Leo Looks like a Dad in strive xD
@@aslothwizard2228 weird way to say maximilliondood

Leo looks like a dad because they’re preparing to throw Bedman’s father-less little sister to his arms.
@@justice8718 PAHAAAHHAHAHAH THATS FUCKING GOLD
"I won't go too far into GG lore cause I like my sanity" that made me laugh so hard
Wooly has stared into the abyss, and the abyss officially sanctioned his staring
GG lore is complicated, but it's still somewhat comprehensible.
*BlazBlue lore, on the other hand*
@@hrgrhrhhr BB was at least told in an interesting way for the first two games… and then suddenly become incomprehensible garbage with 1,000 canon spin-offs

To clarify, Leo always had the fur coat, it seems that she's suffering from the illusory Jotaro effect where the clothes and the hair fuse together.
I was the same way, my friend had to point out to me that it wasnt hair when I was working on art of him LOL
works for his character imo. hes supposed to be a lion
The fur on the coat is not even the same color as his hair, it's two different shades of brown.
@@night1952 yeah but its cooler when its the jotaro effect
She’s definitely trippin. Leo looks way better in strive then he did in rev. The spandex leggings and ky boots he had in rev was funny looking.
Since you like Ram’s hat so much, here’s a fun bit of info: if Faust lands the give-you-a-huge-afro ball on her, she’ll say either “it’s...cute!” or “my hat! :(“.
I remember showing Faust's new design to one of my friends, and the first thing he said upon noting his new shoes was, "make sure you know how to anti-air because Faust is kinda fly."
You have a good friend
Faust with the airforce 1s
LOL. Faust is dripped af
@@pottedplant37_ looks like balenciaga triple s
I love the current "Dad Rock" design for Sol, but to each their own.
I think ky has more of a dad look
@@unnamedx2 Which is weird because Sol is the dad to what feels like half the cast
... including Ky
@@VaSoapman ... and including Ky's Son...
@@VaSoapman BDE (big dad energy)
I feel that
In the story, Sol actually does ask Ky about his new outfit, who then replies that he is in fact technically on vacation.
I get how stereotypical the Millia costume is but I also just freaking love that redesign. I always thought Millia's old designs had a budget cosplay feel to them, largely because they were texturally flat. Like, in Xrd, Millia's entire outfit is the same glossy linen with the same flat yellow or black, and it makes her look kind of paint-by-numbers. The Strive design definitely leans into the Russian stereotype, but it also has linen, suede, and fur materials with a lot more variety in shades within the dominant brown (and the yellow accent of the scarf and hair). It feels like a believable but badass outfit. It also matches better with Millia's aloof personality - I really could not buy someone like her (an ex-assassin no less) wearing the garish yellow coat from Xrd.
these are good points and Millia's costume actually grows on me more and more to the point where I don't completely agree with my video anymore regarding her haha! I do agree it fits her personality well!
I actually still like Millia's X2 design. I know at first glance it won't make sense. A white shirt and- wait where the fuck are her pants. But the white shirt with the blue accents with her gloves made her look so modern to me.
I don't like how she's supposed to be wearing a thick coat but it somehow completely traces her body to the point that you can see her fricking belly button as though she's wearing vacuum-sealed spandex or something.
I think characters like Faust and Zato were purposely left simple so that their complex animations would be discernible in-game
Fashion sacrificed to gameplay, it makes sense
That is a really good point
That would make sense.
yeah imagine trying to react to zato mixups while he's dressed like a jojo character lmao
@@CompilerTube There's more to character design than fashion too, it's not just gameplay reasons. Faust's new look tells a story.
Axl not wearing jorts any more is a big win
I love I-no's new design. The longer skirt also makes her look more like a witch. It fits so well
And someone finally convinced her to put on a shirt!
I think she has a really powerful look. Like boom here's a hard rock witch.
The bigger hat, glasses, and downright insane smile all make her look like the witchiest witch in the whole west
She honestly looks like a female Alucard or something
Ram gets extra points for the puppy. Still doesn’t beat Gio’s paw boots though.
I disagree. Mainly because feet >>>
There’s a mod that gives Ram giant shoes lol
One thing I also want to point out regarding Millia is that her entire aesthetic in Strive is less a Russian stereotype and more an homage to the character Maetel from Galaxy Express 999.
YES! finally someone who'd talk about fighting game drip. No one was talking about how fire Giovanna's fits were!
There is a show called Crymetina Critiques that does just that, judging them as she sees them for the first time on Matt McMuscles Channel. It's a more live type of format so the videos are long
@@MFBandit I'm hoping they do a video on Strive because their Rev2 video was hilarious
Cool idea for a video! The roasting of Sol and his design was brutal tho ;_;
i might have been a bit too mean ;_;
At least she isn't complaining about 5K.
I love how they made the art style of characters like may and ram softer and cuter with the round plump hats. In Ram's case it makes a lot of sense thematically since in the story she has gone from the villain to becoming friends with the gang because of Sin, and shes grown to be a much more emotionally sensitive person rather than a tool of mother.
I like to think that the lack of dramatic change of Zato’s design connects to the fact that he already died and suffered an incomplete reincarnation, whereas now he doesn’t feel pleasure, desire or anything and doesn’t have much recollection of what he used to be besides remembering some of his feelings of love for Millia. (Not considering how iconic he is)
When you started talking about Sol I couldn’t help but chuckle, the best part of his re design for me was that he doesn’t wear belts on his arms anymore. Tho I guess he’s still a belt party lol, can’t help but fall in love with how crazy he looks tho.
I really disliked Ky design at the start and still getting used to it but I like to think using less clothes helps to emphasize he’s on his own path now and has more thoughts of his own, having a more free lifestyle now different of the his younger self that used very tight clothes. (I find it interesting as he is using less clothes and Sol is using more clothes this time around, coincidence?)
Ah those are some good points about Zato, I didn't think about that!
Yeah I really love the holy order uniform so I was a bit sad about Ky's redesign as well at first!
"I looked into Lore of Chipp, But not too into it cuz I wanna keep my sanity"
All you need to know of Chipp is he's an
American Weeabo who is the President of an Un-owned country
He is the President of The Eastern Chipp Kingdom! Remember, A vote for Chipp is a vote for love!
I believe I used to call him the Hemophiliac, Crack Addict, American Ninja
Chipp is a very simple character
An American drug addict
Went clean to become a ninja
Played the hero
Saved a country
Created a kingdom
Out of the country he saved
Which he named after himself
But he calls himself the President
Everyone got all that?
@@shadow0fx you forgot the part where he fought like a tiger and walked in the park
@@Jake-yz3qv And played the hero ‘till he died
LOL, Axl's "uggs" kill me, haha.
"I'm a Faust main"
Automatically subscribed when you said that.
I feel like Faust players nowadays only want to see how the afro looks on every character
@@yaboikiba4302 Awesome, the answer is awesome
@@yaboikiba4302 I am a Faust main because I just don’t like shins.
@@chillchinna4164 I call you guys "France"
Because even after loosing one war after another, you still keep trying
Brave people, but you ain't gonna do shit with a fishing rod, a banana and a donut
My favourite design so far is Nagoriyuki's. It's just so well done, it looks like Daisuke spent most of the time creating this character and way less with certain others.
My 2nd favourite is also Chip. xD
I can't wait to see how the other characters are going to look.
Perfectly pronounces "Nagoriyuki."
Isn't sure how to pronounce "plaid."
Isn't language great?
“Plaid” is such a bastard of a word that my 11th grade English teacher once stopped in the middle of a lesson to go on a 6 minute rant about how much she hated it
@@starbreaker6441 I've seen people perfectly pronounce eight-syllable words, yet they either misspell or mispronounce my five letter last name all. the. damn. time.
@@starbreaker6441 being Hispanic really makes it easy dude. We have the exact same vowel sounds as Japanese does. English speakers are kinda dealt the worst hand possible as far as speaking other languages goes.
I'd bet decent money she didn't pronounce "Nagoriyuki" correctly. But the flow of Japanese is intuitive generally.
@@ELFanatic How much? Hopefully a lot: looking to make some easy money.
Nago stole Ky's old jacket and forced Ky to buy a new one
AXYL'S STYLE IS AUTUMN STARBUCKS GIRL!!!!
I'm Dyin XD
I miss Holy Order Sol so much it's unreal. I keep looking at the extra end cut scene in Rev 2 just to see the 3d model of him
Order Sol might be one of, if not the best, Guilty Gear design in the history of the series. It’s such a good one
3:34 that portion in his theme made me read into his lore. Someone correct me of I'm wrong, but basically he feels so guilty about that girl that he couldn't save back then, and his body and mind (more so his body) are regressing into that of a Gear.
That's what happened previously, when he became Baldhead.
Faust used to be a serial killer, using the name Dr.Baldhead, after he snapped and went insane from killing a girl.
During later games, he becomes sane again and realises his mistakes, donning the Paper Bag to hide his identity and wandering the world to help people. During a later game (I think it was Xrd? I dunno) he discovers Zato-1 was payed to cause the malpractice for the conclave. Insert his entire plot of Xrd, and he begins wandering the world.
During this time before the game, he seems to break down under the mental stress of fighting his two sides - he both loves harming and saving people, which leads to him almost going insane.
Tl;dr, Faust went insane, Became sane again, Went Insane again, Became almost-sane-but-still-probably-would-murder-you
In general, they went for a lore grounded look for most characters that got more drastic redesigns. I think Ky looks sharp; I kind of thought the Holy Order uniform was just generic paladin man in a series with such wacky character designs.
but his current outfit is even more generic, now he looks like generic paladin man crossed with man in a formal suit
@@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447 I mean, it communicates a lot more about his character since Ky has loosened up as a person drastically. He’s no longer a cold blooded war machine; more of a family man, and his more relaxed look attests to that.
DON'T LISTEN TO HER SOL, YOU'RE STILL THE COOLEST MY BOOOIII !!! :((
3:39 god the interpretation of the logo on his bag being an edgy sad boi forehead tattoo is hilarious to me and i can't unsee it now.
So you saying Sol is a boomer, huh? Lol
Dug the video idea btw. Not the typical GG type content I'd expect, but I welcome it!
He is canonically a boomer. He's something like 200 years old as of strive.
@@kingofthemoon3063 actually he's probably canonically a millennial. he was in his twenties in the mid to late 2010's when he was turned into a gear, so he had to have been born in either the late 80's or early 90's.
@@malum9478 Lol, Sol 90'sguy
I was learning axyl in Xrd in preparation for strive and once I realized he was wearing booty shorts I didn’t want to anymore because I couldn’t stop staring at the leg. Thank you Daisuke for fixing this
Anyone who says Axl's Xrd design is better than the new Strive design is trolling.
its a weird direction to go in with faust. im gonna miss the suit jacket
me too!
"dont want to dig deep into Guilty gear lore cause i like my sanity" LMAOO best thing from the video, so true
Really awesome video idea, everyone is doing tier lists on how the characters play or even the music but I haven’t seen anyone talk about the designs, props to you
hahaha Zato being Steve Jobs from the GG universe, good one!
8:20
“It’s true but you shouldn’t say it.”
So as a fellow Faust main I feel like Faust new design is very much a call back to his original persona Dr. Bald head. In his origin he went insane after an unfortunate operation on a young girl failed. He went on a murderous rampage until he learned that he did not kill the patient. It was Eddie who was in control of Zato=1 And leading the Assassin's Guild. And thus became Faust in GGX. So as to why he has reverted back to his Bald Head outfit While keeping the Faust Bag. I'm both excited and scared to see where this character goes.
The fashion reviews are always goated
Ooooh, fashion reviews! That's actually a good idea, especially since character designs are very much focused on in fighting games, especially ones like this, King of Fighters, Tekken, Street Fighter, and a few others. More should do these kinds of reviews. This was fun to watch through. Thank you for doing this.
i'm surprised you didn't talk about the finger nails on ky's gloves I absolutely hate them
omg i didn't even notice them, ewwww D:
just stumbled across this channel and hot damn, you know your stuff! As a Chipp main: I don‘t fancy Chipp‘s outfit but I completely dig his general feral re-design. And Faust looks incredible imo
Thank you so much for this video, I love seeing different kinds of content coming from the FGC! Fighting games have so much more creative space to explore than tier lists and grinding ranked (which is cool, if you like it), and I really do hope you continue this project or something in the same spirit.
Chipp is easily my favorite but I love Ram with her more floppy hat, but also Nagoryu. I love how Nago's katana scabbard has a latch on it so when he sheaths his sword it clicks and locks into place. It's so satisfying to watch
I love the way Sol looks in this game. Same with Axl.
A lot more mature with a Lost boys/Breakfast Club attitude.
Although. It would be cool to see Sol not wearing white pants for once. Give him black or blue ripped up jeans
Really fun video! I agree for the most part. Personally I love Faust's new design the most. You're right that his clothes are pretty bland, but for the newer horror aesthetic they gave him I think it works perfectly. Kinda reminds me of Michael Myers' jumpsuit - it's unsettling normal compared to how creepy he is.
this video is amazing 😫🙌🏻 people should talk about fashion in games like this more I love it so much
This is so good T.T, hope that you'll do more fashion review on video games characters though 😭😭😭🙏
this content is so random but I kinda love it
15:41 Damn, you actually did have the tier list up for exactly five frames (for ppl who don't know, use the comma "," and period "." keys to skip frame by frame).
I didn't see many in-depth discussions about Guilty Gear outfits so thanks for posting this :)
Underrated video, great job 👍
I think Giovanna's color pallette is utilized very well. The hint of turquoise on her shoes the inside of sleeve help a lot. I also love the aesthetic inspired by like 60s detectives without feeling too campy. Gotta love those suspenders ya know?
Actually loving this content from you, keep it up
Leo keeps the lion mane motif by , instead of having too much hair , he uses the vest's hair/fur
Had fun watching this video! I think the one things I found consistent with strive designs is I like all the new haircuts. Leo’s hair looks so much better in strive IMO and I like ky with long hair but the new short hair is also great.
Good video. I hope you do another after all the season 1 DLC come out.
Solid idea for a video. Good luck!
I don't disagree : ) very fun video !
I-no was my main in Xrd but I am looking to change maybe. Chip and Millia Kind of resonate with me this time around form a design and animation standpoint although I haven't even had the chance to smell the game yet so we will see.
EDIT: Read my own post and needed to clarify that I don't know shit about fashion hahaha.
Gio's outfit is nuts. It's this mash of different aesthetics and it's quite dope.
Personally I think Faust's simple design is a nice contrast of how wacky cartoonish his kit is. I think it also helps his horror vibe too. He kinda makes me think of Soul Eater character.
Also your denim jacket makes me wanna go buy a new denim jacket. Been a while since I had one and I forgot how much I like denim jackets.
I know absolutely zero about Guilty Gear but sat down for this entire breakdown.
What an interesting Idea for a video! Not of people take time to critique the fashion in video form. And you even mention outfits form previous games for comparison! Great video!
Ram is one of the best glow ups in a fighting games ever to me is. She went from like an odd e-girl to a more menacing/cute-at-times.
Even though I main Ky at the moment, I really like Axls outfit.
And I had no Idea I-no was based on a real musicians! Definitely gonna check her out!
Kilmer: "Zato's kind of overshadowed by Eddie."
Millia: "Aw shit, here we go again!"
this is a god-tier video idea would love to see more with fighting game character design
*"i dont want to get into Guilty Gear lore because I like my sanity"* very wise words
This is the kind of GG content I needed.
Although I do say Axl needs his Jorts back
I really appreciate the Sheena RIngo recs, I've been listening to Muzai Moratorium on repeat for a while now
not gonna lie, that was my favorite tier list in a long time! nice work
Also, I used to hate how complex and weird everyone looked in GG, and now I'm loving the "simpler" redesigns. Also I'm going to main Axl, so I'm probably very boring
nah, he's a cool character so that's a good choice!
I like how all the other characters are complex in some part of their outfit and May is just *h o o d i e* and I love it
Finally, someone else who loves May's redesign. She reminds me a lot of a The World Ends With You character. Definitely tied with I-No as my favourite redesigns.
Nagoriyuki is a samurai vampire baseball player when blood gauge is filled and Yeetus deletus ppl cross screen.
The "vampire thing" with Nagoriyuki's design, I noticed, was that his mask had fangs on it.
thanks for the sheena ringo suggestion. this is something I never knew I needed
Thanks, I'm new to GG and this was incredibly helpful for me choosing my main. You can't grind unless you're looking good.
Love the XX korean ost in the background.
Also what do you think about Millia's Boots? I think they look super fine, not like Ino's but they are great.
I like them! they work well with her outfit I think
Ramlethal's hat is the greatest piece of fictional clothing ever created and I need one
This video is making my day. Thank you, fashion lady!
First time crossing this channel, just wanna say this is a really cool idea for fg content. Would love to see similar vids to other games (KoF, Tekken, MK etc).
Keep up the good work.
I liked Axl, but after "Autumn Starbucks Girl" I can't look at him the same lmao
THIS IS THE KIND OF CONTENT CZcams LACKS, Love this keep it going!!
Awesome video thanks for validating me for hating on sol's weird legs. I think axl deserves more credit tho the plaid varsity jacket is a cool take on the iconic punk look :)
i love this and would love to watch more charater design discussion videos
alright imma need a fashion review for every fighting game now
I just randomly ran into this video and found it interesting. Can you do more fashion review/tier list for previous GG games or other fighting game series?
Nice video! You gained a sub.
Thank you for pointing out Millia's fur hat. I was trying to figure out why I didn't hate the hat as much in strive as I did in Xrd.
Hi, yeah, please do more videos like this for more games, Guilty Gear or not. This was genuinely so much fun to watch and I’d love to hear thoughts on other fighting games since costumes and alt colors are such a big part of these games.
That is all. Thank you.
I would love it if you did more fashion designs for other guilty gear games, or really any games at all.
My favourite aspects of games has always been playing characters that I thought looked cool, hence why I love RPG’s with massive armour customisation options.
So please do more videos like this as you have interesting opinions
It’s fascinating having someone come at these characters from a fashion perspective (what would people think if you dressed like this irl) rather than a character design perspective (what does this design tell me about the character)
Nice idea for a video.
Switching Sol's pants and shirt colour around would help. Same with Leo.
I agree on the top 3 sans Chipp. The rope looks silly.
Some of Sol's alt colors really improve the outfit.
@@donkeydarko77 Yeah. Basically any alt with darker pants than top is an instant improvement.
Ram's new hat is basically a "mullet" business in front, party in back
the emphasis on sols calves serves a gameplay purpose too since a lot of his attacks revolve around kicking
It took me forever to figure out where I knew this you from. Lol leffen videos duh. Like the content!
Fashion reviews are the best
Love the content
I have never played a fighting game, I know nothing about fashion, yet here youtube sent me. Great video :)
This idea of fashion reviews for videogames is great. I actually don’t agree with many of your points yet your points are totally valid. Great vid 👍🏻
If we add particles and animations in to the mix Ramlethal is my favorite. Her animations just give her so much more personality imo. Anji’s particles are also top tier with all the butterfly motif.
I would love to see more of those in the future
