Wait...is Johnny actually KINDA COOL?? Guilty Gear Strive - Johnny Starter Guide 

I am confounded by one who could believe that a character who, in the previous installment, began each battle by slowly walking forward with the wind to his back, donning a pair of sunglasses, and nonchalantly warning his opponent that he's perfect is, in fact, not cool.

Max: Wait Johnny is actually cool? Johnny stans: Always has been.

The one absolute in Guilty Gear is that Johnny is cool. Even the teacher that had his students play +R and then made them rank the characters always put Johnny in a high tier despite no one playing him strictly because he's cool.

Who would have thought that a character who is basically a mixture between Vergil, the coolest Devil May Cry character, and Gambit, the coolest X-Man, would also be cool? Truly shocking.

Something about mist finer being repeated in excruciating slow detail is hilarious to me, it’s so painful 😂

The voice explaining all of johnny's moves is making me think of the old pacer test recordings.

In this video, Max Dood learns how slouching works.

Johnny doesn't get smaller; it's his clothes are too big. The less of his bare body you see, the smaller he appears inside his oversized clothes.

Johnny being cool is like the sky being blue, and now he has a BEARD

I told my friend that johnny is just if vergil was more cowboy than dante

Max says the coat wearing, card slinging, fan favorite is a "try too hard to be cool" kinda character, yet he loves Gambit... 🤔

Back in my day, you had to tiger knee ensenga for an overhead. And we leveled up mist finer with coins. And we liked it!

Joker Trick iirc used to be his Insta Kill, he'd turn his opponent into a card and then cut them in half, like how they changed Baiken's old OG Guilty Gear Insta Kill into a regular Super for her in later GG games.

Max has been saying for years that he thinks johnny is trying too hard to be cool. I always thought that was funny considering he really likes kyo and rock howard.

The narrator is a person (credited at the end of the video, even), my guess is he's speaking slowly to enunciate clearly for non-native English speakers.

Max he’s always been cool as hell. I don’t get the “try hard” character max says he is?

johnny's always been cool as hell lol. omito bout to dominate the guilty gear tournament scene again lmao

It's cool that they turned Joker Trick from his Xrd IK into his new long-range super in Strive

1:50 I’m so glad Max called this out. It was the first think i notice when i figured out the cast heights. Sol stands at 6’0 but Ky, Zato and Sin stand noticeably taller at 5’10 (Ky) and Zato Sin (5’11) respectively. I think this on mostly on Sol’s build being much bigger and affecting his hurtbox. Extremely reminiscent to SFV when Sakura to me felt so tall being just 5’1 but towering 5’9 ryu.

"Maybe his belt is too fucking big!" -That's GG heresy if I ever heard one

I thought any Johnny is usually cool, especially seeing Strive is making him feel like Gambit with the Cards.

Johnny being cool was a question?

I like how Johnny's SUPERS are actual SUPERS and not just glorified PoP-Ups and Combo starters like most other characters. Some know what I mean.

Johnny: I wanna use cards Game Producers: Why?! We already made the coins Johnny: No more coins Game Producers: Why?! Johnny: 'Cause a true gambler lives by cards. And I am a gambler. PERFECT gambler

He went from Johnny "Cash" to Johnny "Credit".

I still wish they had the VA's for the characters do the breakdowns, that would have been so fun to hear. ESPECIALLY Happy Chaos or Sin.

The slouching thing changing his height is part of the Clark Kent method. Posture changes the character a lot.

So glad to hear Norio Wakamoto-sama in Johnny again.

"I've been cool all this time" Johnny, most likely

Johnny has always been cool. One of the best fighting game character design and gameplay

If I had a nickel for every time a character named Johnny actually does looks sick, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I spent $80 to get ggst in anticipation of the new mechanics and Johnny. He's the coolest fg character I've ever seen and he'll be my main once he's released no matter what.

this is the only time ive seen soneone mention how small johnny looks in this game ive had this thought since i saw his reveal last time i really saw him was in accent core +r where he was pretty tall he looks tiny in this game

Johnny has always been cool.

The title "wait Johnny is cool?" is so fucking funny to me. Like yes, fire is also hot, excellent deduction.

Johnny has always been cool "Give me one more fucking shot right fucking now!."

Back to back videos about two different johnnys

The Johnny knows where it is because it knows where it isn't.

Also Johnny's Hat and Coat width have definitely been increased. It's why he looks so weird. sometimes lol

I can’t wait to *_turn up_* as Johnny

6:46 really glad bacchus sigh is gone tho ironically I thought coins would come back

The narrator sounds like he's about to tell me about the fitnessgram pacer test

Im gonna listen to his theme for sure. It's pretty catchy

Vault > Zwei > killer joker. He's historically had a transport move. Ensenga just seems like a low/throw crush now. Tk deal and tk mist finer seem like way better overheads hopefully mist finer cancel means 6h can still be plus but who knows

The voice sounds like a model of those old VHS instructional tapes you'd find in a distribution center.

I thought Max would say “Here’s Johnny!” on this video.

I've never misread a thumbnail harder than this one

Ensenga is BACK, and the Overhead slash is back. Johnny Players prayers have been finally answered. Sure its no longer instant, but hey its a cool enough ender

I absolutely love how they consolidated everything he had from XX and XRD into a play style that focuses on pokes, range, and setups for combos

cool to see that the G Man from Half Life is getting work as a voiceover guy for the guilty gear strive starter guides

Since day one Johnny's the best he's so good they didn't even had to change his outfit, and he's still wearing them wack ass shoes but he's still dripped out of his mind despite it all

Hey bro, I just saw your reaction of Black Myth Wukong. Don’t worry. You will have the opportunity to play this game during the Gamescom. Let’s see.🎉

I like how they had the guy that did every class science dvd

Yo the VO for the showcase makes the whole thing feel like I'm watching a workplace safety video lmao

On the johnny changing size bit, I can't help but notice a lot of characters have slowly become more squat and wide over the course of the series.

Was never really in to this game until I saw Johnny. Dude looks way too cool

3:33 It sounds like the actual voice just agrees with Max's impression here

I think when johnny walks foward he literally gos into the back ground

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

The explananatory voice sounds like a pre recorded voice for a museum

if season 3 is strive's equivelant of xrd rev then i hope their'll be a rev2 equivelant

I thought the coin could only be thrown out from a standing position, and landing it would increase the level of his Mist Finer. 2nd level was a harder, faster hit, and 3rd level would make it a multi-hit attack.

This is my first GG and this character was the most requested next to Slayer and Elphelt, I see why tbh he looks cool as hell.. but that belt… lol

To be fair to the narrator its very clear and precise. Appreciated lol.

nothing can beat " in this behemoth typhoon " xDDD

Announcer voice: Hello Johnny you're quite good at turing me on.

seems like johnny is just mix, the character. on steroids. i like it

sup max love your vids

I have always been convinced that the Guilty Gear Break Down voice is the same guy who does does those national school test audio, like for The Pacer.

I don't know if this is true because it's been a while since I've been in touch with this information but. Yuzuriha: "Oh sure, Johnny can have insane reaching pokes and a stance for more effective pokes and scary set-play/combos and people call him cool. But when I do it……"

Omito boutta go nuttz with this Johnny, Can't wait!

I noticed the burst guage has a flame, and in the last clip against May, there was a half way marker. Is there a new mechanic?

I just realized mist finer is just like SF4 Juri’s fireball.

Johnny was always awesome

Strive 🤝 MK1 Making Johnny look cooler than ever.

Johnny knows where he is because he knows where he isn't...

Hereee is Johnny!!!

Bro shrunk in the washing machine then tried wearing his old big ass belt

when has Johnny not been cool?

Yeah, it's a genuine surprise that Johnny got as good of a treatment as he did.

Johnny is so cool, Slayer is actually writing all the poetry to him

Tomorrow Max realizes water is wet.

when he said "good luck hitting that mist finer as an overhead" i cried in Faust

johnny looks amazing

The move you're thinking of is called Baccus Sigh

Johnny enters a stance

Today Max learned about posture XD

Let's go!

Bro really said kinda 🤣

This reminds me of this meme dunno if im typing it right... the fitness graham pacer test

I feel like this is the character Max was born to play

Max didn't knew how Bahus Sigh worked???

Johnny looks like Gambit from MvC but with Katana.

In this Behemoth Typhoon

its the mgs colonel

The Cage knows what cooking...

He was this cool the whole time.

THIS Behemoth Typhoon...

he looks smaller cause he hunches over when he slowly walks toward lmao

Did you see how slow that May 6K was lol?
