Forever a Clone - An 'Ex Holy Order Sol' Breakdown 

"I said we playing The Missing Link today!" -EX Order Sol

I love the idea of "let's give EX HOS a bunch of cracked versions of his & Sol's moves but also keep Rock It at level 1"

I always thought EX HOS was just the devs way of saying "So what if he didn't had to manage a meter and we gave him raw DI moves?"

It's funny how Ex Order-Sol is just GG1 Sol except without the charge mechanic, a mechanic that normal Order-Sol has. On a minor note, Accent Core's EX Order-Sol has all of Sol's normals except for one: he still has his f.S. That f.S was actually added in Accent Core, replacing his old f.S in Slash, which was his Fafnir punch (the FB Fafnir was also added in AC). Slash's EX Order-Sol had Sol's f.S, so I'm guessing that whoever coded in his new f.S for Accent Core accidentally replaced EX mode's version as well. Another mistake they made with f.S is with its hit effects. In GG, there are two visual and sound effects that play when you attack someone: one for moves that are physical moves, such as punches and kicks; and one used for sharp objects, like swords and such. As stated before, Order-Sol's f.S in Slash was his Fafnir punch from GGX and GGX2, so when he hits someone with it, it plays the punch sound and visual effect. They replaced it in Accent Core to have Order-Sol attack with his sword, but they forgot to change what type of hit effect plays. So if you hit an opponent with Order-Sol's c.S, 5H, 6H, 2H, etc., it plays the normal weapon hit effect, but hit someone with his f.S, it plays the melee hit effect. It's a very minor thing, but once I noticed it, I was never able to unsee/unhear it.

I like the references to The Missing Link Sol, not only the Instant Kill, but the dashing moves as well as the Gun Flames (S/H).

I don’t play most of the characters in +R but the guides to the ex characters are very informative and interesting

1:23 The way the dp syncs up with the song twice in a row sounds so cool.

Finally an update from one of my favorite content creator. P.S. Huge fan by the way

Now you gotta cover Gold characters.

freaking awesome, especially when he automatically destroys you at low health

Can't believe in Strive Plus is that Order-Sol is getting some of his EX moves, but, with his Chaos (Charge) Gauge.

0:45 is essentially just cause Order-Sol has a low jump arc in general to basically be a KOF boi. In both normal and EX, Order-Sol has to essentially implement the jump install bug (since GG1 or X iirc) to basically allow his high jumps to have a double jump.

I didn't even know you made this, I love how this is more like in-between Guilty Gear and GGX Sol.

Now you gotta do the gold characters! Kliff never got the chance to shine

I love that second IK is a IK from GG The Missing Link.

i wanna see a high level ex-only tournament

I'm sorry but All Guns Blazing is just the coolest instant kill ever. There's nothing more badass then Sol doing "nothing personal, kid" and then a giant explosion happens.

Hell yeah, he better come back

awe man, you're done? I'm gonna miss these popping up in my recommended

Yooo that 66p and 66k look fucking sick now I wish regular HOS had that.

All guns blazing is the best part of ex hos

Your channel is pure wisdom

Sad to see this series end, though, should probably get better on the normal versions of my characters before I start caring about EX characters. You could maybe do a series on gold characters next? I don't remember all the individual changes, but I don't think characters usually have very many, you'd probably have to do 2 or 3 at a time. The only one I know is Order Sol, who's gold form gives him regenerating level charge, and his DI super happens automatically when you just do the first input

Sol (Greatest Hits)

All that with a slab of concrete with pre-stretched rebar sticking out

Pretty sure that "5K" is also the original animation for the first hit of Sol's instant kill in GGML

Actually, HOS has the old classic GG#R Dustloop Just works in corners and there's no way to do it midscreen 6P>5H> 4X(j.D> (delayed) j.D)> 623H/236K

You dustloop with ex hos by doing jd, jump cancel jump d. Max is 4 reps, sometimes you can get a kd with grounded bandit revolver (like with sol ending sidewinder combos)

To me, he seems like a middle point between HoS and Missing Link Sol.

From what I recall, Ex Order Sol's heavily based on Sol's Missing Link moveset, right?

Alright. The Dust loop route you used is valid, but you also are able to preform his dust loop like EX Sol's Dustloop with a double jump cancel in the middle. It's a little character and weight dependent but Doing them this way straight up gives him a 70% damage route from any corner starter.

Well, I guess we will have to go back to GROWLERRR

EX HOS can be looked as if ASW could change anything in GGML before fhe kusoge state it is in now, making HOS as the base and keeping it story-friendly. Ofc, there's GG mode to go full ML with him in +R but the universal charge mechanic is now tied to meter gain rather than special moves and has actual startup and recovery frames; desperation mode now only buffs the charge meter gain by a lot. To compensate for these changes, FB variants of GF and VV can be looked as powered versions of themselves as the lack of charge levels specials and costing meter to use them to turn the tables. EX HOS is like an abomination of previous Sols, 66P and 66K are reference to his dash attack and infamous pseudo infinite in ML before they were overhauled. Bandit Revolver is most likely from Reload, revolver loops first from GGX until Reload and it does not KD like normal Sol's if the combos goes for too long or a lightweight character. FB VV first hit deals less damage than regular DI VV and both have the same problem of dropping when the first hit is a counter. Tyrant rave can't combo from 2D as all character will enter OTG before it goes active. Dustloops with EX HOS is similar as stated from other comments, launcher > [j.D > jump > delay j.D] > whatever, but most commonly it will be 2 reps like how normal Sol has in +R but it ends with a BR or even 2 BRs. In Slash, there was frames of HOS using Sol's f.S animation instead tweaked to his looks but I think it ended up being unused.

You know I kinda want a EX Tourney now

Hes essentially Missing Link Sol

Is not just regular sol, Ex HOS moveset is Based on the First PS1 Guilty Gear Sol.

Man I love this game so many good memories fam

They should’ve just put “original sol” in there cause that’s what he is lol

Regular order sol would fit strive nicely since he already has a power up meter management gimmick

I love this Character, ex and default are good for me, but dude ex mode is terrifying

I'm sold in the first 10 seconds

GET DOWN, GET DOWN

He really is the Best of Sol Badguy

Forever a “Kyo” Clone, am I right? I love it when devs add in a “classic” version of a character when they have their moveset changed. (Kusanagi, Devil Jin) Hell, I can see Order-Sol being added in Strive in this manner (in a ~10% chance).

ORA ORA IT'S DADDY TIME

IT'S TIME FOR BOOT

Ayeeeeeee my fkn guy

3:24 typo... you should hire me

YO thats the gg missing link sol ik animation

Basically EX Order Sol is GG1 Sol since he's got stuff like the dashing P or dash K specials, GG1 Instant Kill and...well its not the same Tyrant Rave as GG1's super bullshit jankmaster flame spiral Tyrant Rave but its something. He shoulda just played exactly like Missing Link Sol. Every last bit of jank and I don't even care. That game was the game in the Guilty Gear series. Even if it means Sol'd get charge cancel infinites. Closest we can get is using GG Generations.

Can we get something like a extra episode about GG and GGX modes of characters pls?

I just want HOS in Strive because then I'd have two characters to play

The EX characters are interesting, i doubth but i hope they will become legal in some EX tournament

Ah yes, #RELOAD Sol on crack

Time for shadow and gold n all that

Wait, Cliff or Justice doesn't have an EX version?

Basically PSX Sol

Is being able to use D versions of specials specifically a HoS thing? Cause I have zero memory of that being a feature in any of the 2D GG titles I've played...

I can't properly use his Dragon install overdrive i keep messing up how do i do this correctly?

I feel like we're missing a few, did some just not get EX variants?

destroyed.

Are these all the same in the old version (ggxxac)

Wait a minute, does that mean that there is no EX Kliff and Justice?

Bro can we like have order Sol for the dlc

gib order sol for streev

Wait is there not a ex big sword dwarf?

Ex modes suck, they just break the characters but atleast its a funny video xD

Even though I don't play Accent Core, I have to commend your dedication to making all these guides for people that do. Really cool stuff 👍

Get down to business is enough reason to put Order Sol back in

My personal headcanon is that EX Order Sol in the timeline is Sol making the transition from his old Order Sol fighting style to the current day Sol Badguy fighting style. So EX Order Sol would be Sol towards the end of his career in the Sacred Order of Holy Knights.

I genuinely would love for him to be back in strive. So much potential

The original Sol Dripguy. Ex HOS is the one of a few Ex characters I messed around with a bit before your breakdowns made me interested in trying others. Would've been nice to have HOS playable in Xrd or even as an outfit. -He did have a model in Xrd even if it was only used for 1 scene in Rev2's story mode.-

As a HoS co main I have LONG awaited this breakdown But I also am kinda sad the series is finished

I love it that EX Order Sol is GG1 Sol put into Accent Core.

I can't take Order Sol seriously when he says "Mendoku se!" 'cause he sounds like he's talking in Spanish. More specifically, it sounds like he's saying "Tengo sed", which means "I'm thirsty" in English.

MISSING LINK SOL IS BACK AND I LOVE IT

That beginning reminds me of a clip where Ragna just rapid cancels together Inferno Dividers

I imagine EX Order-Sol is the result of a what-if where the PWAB decided to make a Robo-Sol instead and Crow had managed to gather nearly all off the battle data from Sol's moveset then and now and implement it instead of giving him a "Random bs go" weaponry like Robo-Ky's. (maybe omitting DI Sakkai)

EX HOS is probably my favorite character in Plus R and he's not even legal in tournaments. I just fucking love shotos dude

This series was awesome. Looking forward to you doing Gold characters next maybe?

Order Sol: Volcanic Viper!!! Viper! Viper!! Viper!! Viper!! Viiper!!...... /*Ascends/* Some say you can still his DP echoing in the wind

Iirc, the DI Gun Flame and DI Volcanic Viper are essentially Sol's Lv 3 Charged Gun Flame and Volcanic Viper back in GG1. Much like Ky's Stun Edge Charge Attack. The dash attacks iirc were also a jank GG1 perk. Order-Sol's 5K knee is also likely that knee for his IK starter back in GG1 as well. Furthermore, the name Sakkai (Killing Realm) AKA Morbid World for his Dragon Install Deadly Rave-style sequence is actually the name for the old red screen mechanic for how instant kills worked back in again, GG1. Order-Sol's Tyrant Rave in EX mode is also essentially GG1 Tyrant Rave (just the upwards recoil fling animation).

🧁+🍦/10 Great video. Needs more fat shaming Holy Order Sol.

God help the rest of the world when someone plays any version of sol badguy that has a real projectile

Biggest mistake of this video is using Nakata Joji as HOS' voice actor (no I am kidding, do as you please lol). Joji just has this noble accent to his voice I can't reconcile with Sol's character.

ex order sol can really shit out damage; his grounded bandit revolver launches downwards less hard and allows him to loop his grounded bandit revolver into himself, and his j.d has significant untech, allowing him to do j.d airdash j.k j.d midscreen, as well as j.d jc (falling) j.d for more "proper" dustloop reps

Projectiles are bullshit -Sol Tsu.

3:32 Is that.... The omni man meme???

Are the EX characters a thing for all of them? Do you have to unlock them, and does it generally change their rankings in a tier list (I.E. one version is noticeably better or worse than the other)? I'm interested

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Sol kinda do that instant kill in Xrd? He just doesnt pass through instead and isnt like Sol's giant knee.

Is that a skullgirls reference in the title?

Order sol is dope AF

What about kliff and justice

He's more than a clone! He's sol with meter management

He reminds me of how sol plays in missing link but even more cracked lol

is there no EX justice? i swear I remember u making a video on it but I can't find it
