Man... Daisuke is the definition of theat Thanos meme: "Fine. I'll do it myself." He didn't found the fighting game he wanted to play, and ended creating a whole franchise for himself. Thank you a million times Daisuke.
It's the reason I was pulled into GG, by the time I found about GGXX I was a fan of about half the bands the game referenced. That and how it approached a story mode as a fighting game, which was innovative at the time.
I always thought that Daisuke Ishiwatari and Hirohiko Araki could be friends due to their love for western music and making a cool series to flex their playlists. Now I know another thing these two have in common: They *REALLY* mastered the art of not aging physically.
I met Daisuke by accident at EVO in 2019. The day before Strive's announcement. With venom translator help. I expressed my sincere gratitude for the series. He was so incredibly nice and joyful to meet me. A random fan In retrospect its funny my outfit was Nago's colors coincidentally. And he was announced next day. Perhaps he noticed I was the exact demographic he designed him for irl 🤣 1:1
Without even knowing such a genius behind the scenes I immediately fell in love with GG strive couple months ago… Despite the satisfying control, beautiful art and music, unique RC and wall break mechanics, some of the character designs are really innovating. Like Johnny, he’s a cowboy, a pirate, a gambler, and a samurai all at the same time NATURALLY.
Wow. I knew daisuke was the goat but i never knew he was this goated jesus. Thank you daisuke i love guilty gear its really changes my life. I love this community as well and thanks for this entertaining video about our number 1 chad .❤
I love the fucking genius he is. And I love your videos they are really good. I just enjoy them like a kid. GG is such a precious franchise to me and seeing the community filled with good and funny people like you makes me so happy. Hope you are doing great and keep doing as well.
Can we just appreciate both previous GG games AND Strive? Strive was my first GG game and it got me into fighting games, it helped me to understand everything much better. I'm on my way to play XRD too now, and I'm so happy to say i love all of this franchise in its entirety. Plus, this whole fucking saga is art concentrated so savor it while you can
Wallbreaks are not a staple of the franchise. IKs, RCs, and the metal aesthetic were what made GG standout. It used to be a very free-form and chaotic series that allowed for player expression, something severely lacking in Strive. As much as I dislike the current direction Daisuke and Katano have taken Guilty Gear in, I really do appreciate all the work the man and his team have put into the series over the years.
Gatlings/magic series are gone in favor of more linear/restrictive routes. Returning characters are missing a lot of their kit from previous games, with some even playing nothing like their older iterations. Hell, some characters still have legacy restrictions on them but lack the proper tools or means to make up for it. The movement is a lot slower and most of the balance revolves around moves being less negative instead of positive. Instant Kills were removed entirely. Wallsplat/break does the opposite of its intended purpose and is just a poorly implemented mechanic. I don't know how things are currently, but the high damage made the game extremely volatile. Outside of a few tracks the music is a huge step down. Also, the lobby system is pretty bad and ranked matchmaking is kind of busted. I did like the changes to the RC system and the create-a-combo trial feature, but outside of those two things, Strive feels extremely lacking when compared to Xrd and XX. This is all from the perspective of an oldhead however, so please don't let that discourage you from playing and enjoying the game.
for any strive-only players, please play the older games (mainly xrd and +r) as those games are so much more raw and unhindered by other designers than strive is.
I strive to one day be as creatively powerful as this man. This amount of drive is something that the world rarely sees anymore, and I can only dream to measure up to it.
I never and repeat NEVER had a company that i say "ah is made by them,i buy it" but arc system oh god arc system made me change mu mind i fucking love their works even the crossover one like the persona games
Arcsys and Fromsoft are the two companies where you hear what they're selling and go 'YEP! HERE YA GO!' Just you've already put in the card info and have made the order.
Man this story it's kind incomplete , I knew that Ishiwatari in beginning of the GG project he idealized a RPG game , then I don't remember why he changed to a fight game ... I don't remember where I saw this information , so is it thrue ? Since now thanks you're awesome man .. ✌🏾
I rarely ever comment on videos but this video was so well put together. I want to absorb so much Guilty Gear content and lore that I become Daisuke himself. Would love to see some video around character lore or even development and inspiration for each of them. Also coming from a fellow aussie here.
I imagine you had to do some research for this video. It's great to know the history behing GG, the influences and inspirations, and the evolution of the series through the years
Norimitsu Kaiho was the most important one for me. He wrote all of the story for Guilty Gear up to Xrd. Once Diasuke took over, the game started losing its vibe. Potemkin can't even have a face now. Gameplay still rocks, thankfully.
Guilty Gear is and always will be in my Top 3 Game Franchises of all time. For me my journey has begun all back with a little Contra spin-off called Hard Corps: Uprising... We need more Daisuke propaganda videos like this! ;D
thanks! source is: bro trust me just kidding!, i used a variety of sources but if you look up 'daisuke ishiwatari' on google you will get most of the info from wiki strings other ones were info from the daisuke interviews you can also find on the wiki if you watch through
Yeah, such a 'genius' that the fans forced him to retcon 2 characters or face immense backlash. Anybody can be a genius nowadays, just pander to weirdos online and boom you got yourself a mega franchise.
@@Ratty_rat136 The only persons not having fun at parties are your parents when they have to come to terms every year that their failure of a son / daughter, who refers to themself in a plural form, is still a growing disgrace that will eventually, sometime very late into their life, will regret all the decisions they've made that lead to their life being as miserable as possible.
@@RealKatTea LMAO, you’re taking this too seriously bro. You say that as if you know me but you don’t, I can tell that you’re practically speaking out of your ass at this point.
Imagine having the balls to come out with a video with a title like that knowing Strive was made by this same "genius". That game alone negated his legacy.
This is gonna sound crazy, but enjoying Guilty Gear Strive and accepting the positive aspects of that game is NOT A CRIME It may not be the game YOU want, but there are so many parts of GGST that are extremely great, to me and many other players.
@@ratedr7845 but Strive isn't LIKE any other game on the market? It became something new and different. Isn't being something new and different a core facet of Guilty Gear's identity?
