“Why is Faust so sad now?” Being a doctor during a pandemic for the past year changes a man

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

When she doesn't like Axl, Sol, nor Leo *Sad gorilla noises*

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 won't go too far into GG lore cause I like my sanity" that made me laugh so hard

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."

I love the current "Dad Rock" design for Sol, but to each their own.

I think characters like Faust and Zato were purposely left simple so that their complex animations would be discernible in-game

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.

In the story, Sol actually does ask Ky about his new outfit, who then replies that he is in fact technically on vacation.

Axl not wearing jorts any more is a big win

Ram gets extra points for the puppy. Still doesn’t beat Gio’s paw boots though.

I love I-no's new design. The longer skirt also makes her look more like a witch. It fits so well

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.

Cool idea for a video! The roasting of Sol and his design was brutal tho ;_;

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.

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?)

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.

YES! finally someone who'd talk about fighting game drip. No one was talking about how fire Giovanna's fits were!

LOL, Axl's "uggs" kill me, haha.

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

"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

Nago stole Ky's old jacket and forced Ky to buy a new one

"I'm a Faust main" Automatically subscribed when you said that.

Perfectly pronounces "Nagoriyuki." Isn't sure how to pronounce "plaid." Isn't language great?

AXYL'S STYLE IS AUTUMN STARBUCKS GIRL!!!! I'm Dyin XD

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

its a weird direction to go in with faust. im gonna miss the suit jacket

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

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

hahaha Zato being Steve Jobs from the GG universe, good one!

"dont want to dig deep into Guilty gear lore cause i like my sanity" LMAOO best thing from the video, so true

DON'T LISTEN TO HER SOL, YOU'RE STILL THE COOLEST MY BOOOIII !!! :((

this video is amazing 😫🙌🏻 people should talk about fashion in games like this more I love it so much

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!

i'm surprised you didn't talk about the finger nails on ky's gloves I absolutely hate them

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 :)

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.

8:20 “It’s true but you shouldn’t say it.”

Underrated video, great job 👍

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

This is so good T.T, hope that you'll do more fashion review on video games characters though 😭😭😭🙏

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?

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.

Actually loving this content from you, keep it up

this content is so random but I kinda love it

Good video. I hope you do another after all the season 1 DLC come out.

this is a god-tier video idea would love to see more with fighting game character design

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.

Solid idea for a video. Good luck!

I really appreciate the Sheena RIngo recs, I've been listening to Muzai Moratorium on repeat for a while now

thanks for the sheena ringo suggestion. this is something I never knew I needed

Nice video! You gained a sub.

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.

This video is making my day. Thank you, fashion lady!

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

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!

THIS IS THE KIND OF CONTENT RU-vid LACKS, Love this keep it going!!

This is the kind of GG content I needed. Although I do say Axl needs his Jorts back

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

i love this and would love to watch more charater design discussion videos

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.

Nagoriyuki is a samurai vampire baseball player when blood gauge is filled and Yeetus deletus ppl cross screen.

alright imma need a fashion review for every fighting game now

Leo keeps the lion mane motif by , instead of having too much hair , he uses the vest's hair/fur

Love the content

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 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

The "vampire thing" with Nagoriyuki's design, I noticed, was that his mask had fangs on it.

Nice review :) love Guilty Gear

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)

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.

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.

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 :)

the emphasis on sols calves serves a gameplay purpose too since a lot of his attacks revolve around kicking

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.

It took me forever to figure out where I knew this you from. Lol leffen videos duh. Like the content!

I would love to see more of those in the future

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.

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.

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?

Wow never thought about any of this.... What a curious video, a good one nonetheless.

Fashion reviews are the best

Kilmer: "Zato's kind of overshadowed by Eddie." Millia: "Aw shit, here we go again!"

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 👍🏻

Very cool video! Really creative and something no one has done before! I'm gonna work my ass off this summer to make a lot of these clothes for cosplay! May's art throws me off because it looks kinda like she's pregnant

I know absolutely zero about Guilty Gear but sat down for this entire breakdown.

Does All Character have Original GG X and X2 outfit mod in Strive?

Gio is bang on trend with the pants god damn
