Reacting to Guilty Gear STRIVE's AMAZING OST 

DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, I PRESENT TO YOU, THE VOD: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4SxUmnSV5Ck.html ALSO! bear that this is just the opinion of someone that doesnt know the characters and is just listening to the songs at face value. No, its not "objective" lmao its all just my uneducated opinion haha much love ❤

Drift is an S for the balls to make a song like Drift.

He gave Armor Clad Faith a B! BUSTER HIM BOYS!

Fun fact about Axl, who has out of the box, is that hes literally out of time. He has power to travel through time, but only very recently gotten any true control over it.

Bro the lyrics to armor clad faith is one of the best things about the song 😂

Leo main here, Leo's theme is literally about how he had survivor's guilt and PTSD and how he led countless soldiers to their deaths. Rock Parade is about how Anji loves Baiken, Mirror of the World is about how she's thankful for other people's help in making her not pissed off at the world all the time.

Watching this tierlist made me drink paint for real. All of them are S+ respectfully. AND ALSO THE TOWN INSIDE ME AT D, what the hell man

Let me carve your way is a masterpiece for me, its just so good

Bro really put armor clad faith in b tier, you have to know his backstory and intentions to fully understand his character😭

one of my friends said it perfectly, once you hear the guilty gear songs more than once and you know whats coming it gets better somehow, not sure why, but it does

Mf really just dropped em all not heavy or consinstance songs to bottom tier out of personal taste and calls it objective, like, my man happy chaos did nothing wrong man like he just drifting 😢

Finally someone understands how powerful the Testament theme is, I don't know why so many people put it so low on tier list, I feel it's a pretty dramatic and powerful song that presents the current state of the character well.

Having Drift "objectively" into anything below A tier is a criminal offense. It's supposed to be whacky and inconsistent because that's exactly what Chaos is like. Literally the only peeve I have with this list.

Roar of the spark respectfully gatekeeping A tier

About lyrics, actually all of them have meaning. It's just that most of them are related to lore and story in Guilty Gear, so it's hard to understand unless you know the story and lore Edit: btw, you should release full VOD. It's pointless to watch short video like that if we're talking about listening to OST in Guilty Gear. There are a lot of intricate details within each song

Town inside me at D tier is diabolical

I'm at 11:00 and so far your tierlist is almost a carbon copy of what my thoughts on the music were back when I first got into it on release of Strive. What I didn't have back then though was the understanding of all the musical references - thank you for putting those in, I can barely believe how similar Hellfire is to Stone Cold Crazy.

people when the guilty gear isn't a single long hard rock song that sound exactly the same it's whole lengt: 😡

My girl brisket =[ All the instruments slowly chiming in as she gets more confident in herself is what does it for me

Drift, Armor-Clad Faith, Let Me Carve Your Way, and especially Town Inside Me are *_CRIMINALLY_* low

I agree with the “Like a weed, naturally, as a matter of course.” ranking (no bias wdym)

Pretty good reaction, nice editing, pretty funny music comparisons. Good video.

The moment you know Potemkin’s backstory ironclad faith lyrics make perfect sense

YOU PUT THE TOWN INSIDE ME IN D? I'M CRYING

Hell yeaaah Respect for putting like a weed in S tier that sound is weird but rocks ya right in the feels

I think that the beautiful thing about Like a Weed is how it plays into the two key figures that influenced Testament's life: Dizzy and Kliff Undersen. I also like how it plays into Testament being non-binary, with changing from male pronouns to female pronouns to male pronouns over and over again. The Town Inside Me also delves into Bridget's gender dysphoria (Feeling out of place, being stuck in a gray haze) and her finally accepting her true self. I think that's the beautiful part about Guilty Gear Strive. All of the character themes express their personality and their own struggles and triumphs very well. Even some of the more one-note characters are fleshed out in some form (Potemkin grappling with the fact that he may one day not be strong enough to protect Zepp, Leo dealing with major PTSD from fighting in the Crusades and watching many of his men die, Ramlethal overcoming the Universal Will conditioning her to believe that humans are inherently evil, etc.) so I don't really mind a few themes like Disaster of Passion and Perfection Can't Please Me if we can have some more themes like Like a Weed and Mirror of the World.

perfection, town and disaster being so low pains me greatly, high-key the best songs in the game

Some hot takes here and there but loved how you identified all the references in the songs (Daisuke loves doing that) Nice job

Man you pointed out a lot of musical references that I wouldn’t have caught normally

i swear its the AISHA effect. your firat listen you hate her songs then after repeat listens it becomes top tier.

For Referance, Potemkin's theme (Armored clad Faith) is a scathing review of his home country before him and his friend staged a coup on the dictator, as for the I'm a fool parts, its his self doubts on whether or not he actually made change, but how he knows that he needs to have faith that future generations that will enjoy the fruits of there labor, so he needs to hope and pray. As for Zato, the end part talks about how he got all emotion stollen from him by his demon, but he can feel one emotion, he doesn't know what its is, but all he knows is that he gets when he is near millia, which is why he is willing to stay in her shadow. If ya have anymore questions about the lyrics and what they mean, just ask. hope ya enjoy this and this helps.

Let Me Carve Your Way in anything but S is criminal and The Town Inside Me in F is literally deranged

This fucking upsets me. I can't even 100% fault him which is a pain but this fucking angers me.

The town inside me in F hurts my soul

This video is seriously brilliant. Every similarity I picked up on you can name effortlessly, and you picked up on ones I hadn't even though I know the songs well. Ez sub sir! Would love more guilty gear ost content if you feel like there is more to do.

14:41 Testament has such a good theme dude. It’s probably my favorite in the whole game

I grew up with my parents playing living on a prayer on loop. Small wonder i love roar of the spark so much

Not gonna lie, I don't have a lot of knowledge on all the classic metal Guilty Gear references, so seeing you recognize sounds and pointing them out was really interesting to me! Great video bro

I can't wrap my head around some of these being B or lower, but Out of the Box being A. I guess we just wouldn't get along musically, but that's okay.

I instantly subbed when I saw Mignonne by Taeko Onuki in the background, 4:00 AM is one of my favorite songs ever. You have great music taste my guy

i love how you caught so many of the influences and references!!!!!! im a huge gg fan and music fan and those are one of my fav bits of this ost oh but trigger disrespect will not be tolerated. the laid-back beastie boys influence is such a cool contrast to the other character's themes

Oh my God I'm so glad someone else pointed out the huge Full House vibes in Out of the Box lmao it's so uncanny. Love that song tho

8:33 Nah you thought you could sneak that past us. WHAT DO YOU MEEEAN BY THAT?

Mirror is 100% S for me. I don't think it has any weak parts.

Drift, Zato's, and The Circle are definitely my top 3, I was a little bit sadge to see them relatively low but I respect it (also would've loved to see requiem make the cut, one of my favorites for sure and I'm always interested in peoples' opinion on it)

I love all the musical similarities to other songs you pointed out.

I respect your tierlist!!! pretty funny video too lolll, its sick to see someone put alone infection in s tier as its one of my personal favourites from the game. One reason for that is how its all brought together in the end!!

amazing, a gulity gear music video that only has small tidbits of the actual songs

I love the cat in your profile picture :) very cute and makes me happy

high quality content, nice eddits, hope you will get lots of views

No way he put Town Inside Me that low.

Thanks for these song reccomendationsss

for the context of Armor Clad Faith, the character fought and overthrew the tyrannical government he and everyone in his nation lived in as a slave. Hence the mention of society and role of a clown being in the lyrics, as no one believed he’d be able to do such thing

An edited reaction with a totally "objective" opinion, musical references and an overall fresh take on the ost tierlist?? I like that, even if I find it criminal to rate Drift anything that isn't S. Overall good video dude, you have good taste and good music knowledge 👍

May, Happy Chaos and Bridget were done dirty but this video is great

Im so glad you pointed out that perfection cant please me is just dont stop me now i felt insane for so long

bro literally found all the samples of GGST OST LOOOOL

Disaster of Passion not S tier, Trigger and Drift at C??? Man's is burying me v_v

Bro your references are spot on!

Half the songs I'm like "hell yeah mate good choice" and the other half like "How fucking dare"

huge respect for putting Testament's Theme on S tier but the others...😭😭

i live for music react content and this was excellent, ty steamer man

Wait... What about Necessary discrepancy and Requiem?

Did he not realize that "Who do you fight for?" has the Vocal structure of Come Together?

Not putting Let me Carve your Way in S tier is a crime but the rest of the tier list is rlly good- I love the The Circle appreciation cuz I really think it doesn't get the love it deserves

Best ost tier list I’ve scene for sure

I am so weak for plinging noises in music (especially rock/metal) and ky's theme had me on my knees, absolute S tier for me

Alriiiight, imma go sub, bro knows his shift

bruh, you knew so many references to the songs, nice!

Bro has the hottest takes Don't let bro cook he overcooks

Alone Infection for the win.

I need to do one of these I listen to some of these songs on the way to work 😂

The ending of Armor-clad Faith makes it S tier for me..... I also play Potemkin

finnaly a good tier list video

Very valid comparisons! Also the first time I've heard the term "neo-baroque" but i like it lmao

did you uhh... come back to this yet after learning each characters' story? i'd love to see an updated list where you finally know the backstory of each character to see if there's any changes to the list

Such a wide breadth of musical knowledge

Imma be honest chief, it shouldn't be surprising that the Japanese franchise has some "anime" songs in its soundtrack

Most of these songs lyrics make sense if you know the characters lore.

The more I watch I worse your opinions get, it's amazing

Wow, there’s a lot of western rock references in these themes, I wonder if there was a precedent for it from the guy who named one of his characters Axl Low?

A few of these songs feel har dro evaluate because they like to tell the story or mental of the character. Drift is a rough comparison, but I think it reflects Happy Chaos's mental after decades of insanity.

I love how if you pick a strong buff man character you get amazing fucking metals riffs and when you pick may you get shitty romance anime opening. This is why guilty gear is perfect

1:35 glad to know i'm not the only one hearing living on a prayer

Dude you can tell what drift is all bout based on the fact the character it was written for is literally named Happy Chaos

so I recognize that this video is 3 months old and everyone has made a comment about this... but drift man 😭😭😭

I might be late to this list but the thing about the Guilty Gear songs a good chunk of the songs that you haven't seen and a are easy as if you know the story behind it and if you keep listening to it those songs are one of the songs or the more you listen the more you like it.

the best reaction i have seen so far

Armor Clad Faith is about how Potemkin was a Slave prior to the end of GG1

Im surprised u didnt mention the come together refrence for Nagoriyukis theme

missing the best part of rock parade is CRIMINAL

the lyrics in Armor clad faith are based on Potemkin's backstory

There are some of these takes I agree with and some I don't. Honestly I'd consider a decent ranking although there are some... placements I find questionable that's not a problem. Music is subjective and there are just some songs peeps won't like.

Armor clad faith not being an s is criminal

"Find your one way it's definitely high A" *Ends being the last in A tier*

This list hurts me but im biased asf

Nah mate, you didn't call Drift C tier, I know it's a difficult song to keep up with and it breaks a lot of conventions so brain feels uncomfortable while listening to it for the first time but listen to it few more times, your brain will get used to the chaos and you will be able to hear actual beauty of it. (Which is oddly thematic to the character)

Hey just to shed a little light here im gonna try to sum up each character in 1 word (or more)(with slight spoilers): Sol: Stronk Ky: Proud leader May: Love letter incarnation (with a anchor) Axl: Nextlix and chill Chip: From 0 to hero Pot: Potemkin buster = Big damage Faust: Doctor gone crazy Millia: Hair Assasin Zato: Sad blind guy Ram: Confused robot Leo: Suicidal Nagoriyuki: Honour Giovanna: Fuck off Anji: Another love story incarnation I-no: God wanabe Goldlewis: Minigun. Jack'o: Finally free im gonna go lick a tree Baiken: Revenge (i think?) Testement: Dead (kinda) Bridget: trans brisket Sin: 1+1= soup Bedmen: I honestly don't know ( a hitman of some kind?) Asuka: God's disciple Happy Chaos: All of the above (and also god) Again i just did this for fun and because i was bored it's not to be taken seriously, also if you ever end up playing Guilty gear i would love to see it! Maybe i could learn some stuff too! Also not that anyone asked but for me every song is S

based edits and passable list. Also nice to hear all the references, rip your vod tho

Ngl I find watching him react to guilty gear as a whole really fun, his knowledge is so patchy, he knows inconsistent amounts, albeit decent amounts, and just thought johnny was a deez nuts joke lmfao. (may's theme really fits, but that demon deserves C tier.)
