Guilty Gear -Strive- Opening Movie 

Wow, can't believe I actually witnessed Ky and Sol not fighting each other in the intro for once.

*STRIVE launches* Sol: RIDE (with) WIFE, LIFE GOOD.

I like how everyone is fighting and May is just posing with dolphins

That bit where Ky and Nago rush each other while transforming only to make a beeline for I-no instead was cool as heck.

Dude, seeing Jack-O and Sol just driving makes me smile.

The new Antagonist is Bedman with a Gun

1:54 wait a sec , from the looks of this scene there are no ponytail and no suppressor headband? You guys gon pull a "Sol reverts to being Frederick without powers" ain'tcha

2:01 Zato; "Ok can someone describe what we're all looking at?"

IDK why but I love seeing I-no and Axl just chilling and drinking tea.

This looks like the final battle between Sol and Asuka that daisuke said would come for a long time Cannot wait for this Album to drop already

I always love how much production value they put into Daisuke's albums. Most record companies are too cheap to spring for entire in-depth fighting games to promote them.

I think the thing that impresses me the most about their animation here and elsewhere in the game is the sheer force of the emotions they're able to convey via facial expression. Like, seeing Ky in the forest and smiling at possibly his wife offscreen, and you're seeing a flow of exultation and joy and love play across his face, it's so evocative and powerful to me. Beautiful work.

omg there's almost a full second of screentime for potemkin, you guys do care!

how they gonna tease dizzy with ky in the forest and the squirrel and not show her!?

Ram getting the protagonist-camera turn around timed with the music, then fucking off to never be seen again.

It was an absolute honor to be a part of this game. Thank you arcsystemworks for having me ❤️

Also, we ain't gonna talk about how Axl obviously cares for the only one like him - I-No? Especially with the whole table metaphor they have here and in Xrd. It looks like he doesn't wanna let her go despite I-No being alone and dismissive.

This opening is mad hype. Happy to see Sol chilling with his Waifu. He must be glad after all that time with Sin lol

I love how everyone’s fighting for their beliefs and ideals, making sense of the world and the forces at work pulling the strings of everything and May’s just kinda here vibin’. 1:04

You can’t just drop a hype album and a movie and give us a free fighting game with it. It’s just too good

Ky and Sol look really happy. Time to protect the family they fought for.

Sidecar Jack-o is the definition of "Ride wife, life good".

気付いたらストーリー全部見終わってた…。本作は正にSOL BADGUYの集大成で素晴らしかったです！

1日一回は必ず見てしまう

This intro has me grinning from start to finish. The bait and switch with Ky and Nagoriyuki charging each other before going after I-no as well as I-no and Axl’s crosstime teatime was great.

I-No looks like she’s one of the important players now instead of being That Man’s lackey.

My God, this game looks beautiful as hell

Guilty Gear makes me so happy. The fact that something like it that's just pure unfiltered creativity exists, is made by a staff that very clearly care for it and is appreciated around the world for everything that it is just makes me tear up a little. So hyped to get my hands on this album

0:39 pretty boy Ky using up all the animation budget on dat smile. Yo the frame transitions on his smile were smooth af!

i don't know what's happening, i'm new to the GG universe, but HYPE!

Gotta love how May and Faust are so essential to the story that they only show up for the total duration of a single second each during this intro.

0:54 for bedman's neutral special he now wield a gun instead of staying in bed

Capcom knew that they cannot fix their netcode, so instead of reflecting on themselves they sold more Chun-Li costumes. Four bars or Five? Let's lag!

1:47 Ky and Nago double teaming reminds me of Jin and Hakumen from BlazBlue

>huge dude with a COFFIN on a chain Oh yes, this is GG.

The part where I-NO and Axl having tea hits me hard

My guy Nagoriyuki having a beef with everybody in the trailer.

I never knew I needed a GG anime opening, but now I have one.

Woah they made a full on animation about that tf2 sfm

1:46 this whole scene is smooth af

Look at all the DLC in this opening movie. So hyped to finally play Strive

0:40 That smile. That damn smile.

神曲認定、鳥肌確認、脳内再生余裕。ムービーもかっこいいしキャラ達それぞれの思いも見て取れてとっても最高だ。 ギルティギアを知って本当によかった。

ヘッドギアが外れた（＝ただの人間に戻った）ソルが膝を着いてなお諦めない眼差しで前を見るシーンでいつも泣いてしまう。ソル＝バッドガイと言う男が舞台を去るに当たって、これ以上ない幕引きだった

Damn, this OP looks clean. I’m guessing the likes of That Man, Jack-O/Aria, Goldlewis, & Happy Chaos will make up the first season of DLC alongside one more requested veteran.

Unironically looks like a movie trailer, goddamn. So glad to see Guilty Gear glow up to this level (even though it was ALREADY goated w/ Xrd.) LIKE DAMN MAN LOOK AT THESE CHARACTERS AJSJFJGJFJDMDWMOS

ストーリー見る前と見たあとだと1:41からのイノとアクセルのシーン、全く見方が変わってくる…深いなぁ

1:46 How it looks like they are about to fight only to do a U turn towards I-No is honestly the best cinematic part of the op.

1:14 when you meme Burger Sheriff so hard he becomes a main character

1:46 - 1:53 I LOVE how they made it seem like Ky and Nago were gonna fight then they both started running to I-No

Seeing sol with his wife, Jacko makes me so happy for my depressed bounty hunter

Nagoriyuki running... What a dream come true. Pity it's just for show.

1:11 Finally, the sacred cuum substance.

2:02 the way faust turns his head

Axl Low always has that quiet sadness in all of his cinematics, mad respect for what he's done for Sol

0:38 I just realized that chipmunk is the same one (design wise) that appears in Dizzy’s Xrd victory screen - he’s smiling cause he’s thinking about his wife :)

Strive is just an anime disguised as a Fighting Game. I'm all for it.

They made alllllll of this, WHILE making a fighting game... Insane

Man I hope when they say "The end of Sol-Badbuy story" my man will be chilling on a beach with his wife. Don't take his wife AGAIN!

lyrics for myself I know who I am The moonlit lake told me "This is who you re" My fangs are so long, My nails are so shaper than ice That is me I wonder that will prove? That is bullshit! Blazing! Still my heart is blazing! If "the words" kill me I don't need a new world order You... Soon you will know We already knew the smell of the game Can't you see I’m blazing! Still my heart is blazing! If the world kill me I don't need a new world order You... My tribe is my world Your words will never make me disappear! (That is bullshit!) Blazing! Still my heart is blazing! If the words kill me I don't need a new world order You... soon will you know We already knew the smell of the game

So That Man, Coronel Sanders and that Hobgoblin are pretty much confirmed as DLC, yeah?

Soo.. theres our 4 DLC characters. That Man/Asuka finally, Bedman with a MF glock, burger guy who apparently stole Baikens arm, probably Dizzy, and perhaps even Aria/Jacko

1:45 Right before Axl blinks when he's looking at the photograph, there are tears in his eyes.

why is blue guy holding a jar of seamen

I hope Slayer and Sharon are having a good time somewhere peaceful

0:52 What's this? Bedman is evolving! Congratulations! Your Bedman has evolved into Gunman

HYPPPPPPPPPPPEEEE

1:53 the drums oh my goodness gracious

1:11 I can't stop laughing at this

that Faust-Ky whiplash from "gon gouge ur eyeballs out" straight to sunny-Disney-prince vibes LOL

もう何年前かにソルにハマって、いつ飽きるんだろ……とか思ってる間にまだハマってる、もう抜け出せねぇよ……

Someone made a full on recreation of this with tf2 and it looks just as good animation wise

You can already tell who the DLC characters are gonna be from this intro

このゲーム自体がワンシーズンのアニメ以上のてんこ盛りな要素を秘めているのがもうイグザードから本格的に入った自分にとってものすごい楽しみで仕方ない。感謝しかない。最高。

おすすめで出できたから見にきたけど短髪カイかっこよはすぎんか？

2:08 check out ky's nails on his gloves

ソルとアリアが一緒に出掛けてるの見て幸せになれるOP

Burger Sheriff has a weapon! I repeat, Burger Sheriff has a weapon! If they make him playable somewhere down the line I'd be 100% for it.

信じられるか…？ これ格ゲーのオープニングなんだぜ？

I've loved this series for 15 years, ever since discovering it in my local arcade as a teenager. I knew Guilty Gear stood alone from the pack, there was no other series like it. Maybe there never will be again. I don't know if Strive will really be the game we all want the last Guilty Gear to be, but I'm here for it. One more roar, let's rock.

2:05 giovanna jiggle physics got me actin up

This is the best opening Guilty Gear ever had. Smell of the Game might be your favorite opening song or not, but the combination of that song with these images...it's just like a hype anime op full with lore and teasing important plot points.

If all the DLC characters are out, i want a updated and full version of the intro with EVERYONE!!!

Why is this intro not in the actual game, though? I was so ready to watch this every time when starting up but instead I just get a boring title screen. Please add the OP to the actual game ArcSys. :(

I'm patiently waiting for the DLC Characters reveals I hope Johnny makes the cut

こりゃまた無茶苦茶ロックでカッコイイOP！しかもチラホラ追加されるであろうキャラの姿が……これは楽しみだ！

Wish this was an actual anime so I could see this opening every week.

Still banger after 2 years

This opening is the definition of fighting game *H Y P E*

Honestly not sure what I'm more excited for: The full OST or unlimited lab time with mah boy, Ky.

You guys have knocked it out of the park with the visuals here. Seriously, all of my respect to Team Red for constantly pushing real time NPR forward!

First playing this when I was 12 years old on the Dreamcast. GGX. . . . So many years how far we've come and how much we've grown. I know this sounds sappy but seeing and hearing this almost puts me to tears

THE HYPE IS MAXIMUM

1:10 I didn’t know “the smell of the game” was lore relevant.

この曲カッコ良すぎてギルティギア買ってしまった....... 覚えること多そうだけど頑張ります！！

Now that I actually finished the story mode this makes way more sense!

みんな老けやがって、かっこいいなあ...

友達と毎回この曲聴いてワクワクしてたのを思い出した

that scene with nagoriyuki and ky was fire

I'm watching this cuz the TF2 parody
