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

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.

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.

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

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

In this video, Max Dood learns how slouching works.

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

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!

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

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.

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... 🤔

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Johnny being cool was a question?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Strive 🤝 MK1 Making Johnny look cooler than ever.

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

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

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

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

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.🎉

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

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

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

Back to back videos about two different johnnys

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Tomorrow Max realizes water is wet.

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

nothing can beat " in this behemoth typhoon " xDDD

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

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……"

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

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

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

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

Johnny was always awesome

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

If Johnny was any cooler a singularity of cool would form

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.

johnny is an old man ok stop making fun of the poor mans posture

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.

Johnny has always been great but lately I think they are doing extra so that Johnny becomes much more played!

Jhonny has always been cool

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

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

I've never misread a thumbnail harder than this one

Bro really said kinda 🤣

when has Johnny not been cool?

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

johnny looks amazing

max calling johnny a "trying to be cool" character when he's a mortal kombat fan is pretty funny

max has very very different definition of cool if he thought johnny wasnt cool from the start lmao

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

"The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start."

Oh look a blonde male with a sword. I wonder if max will like him lol😅 🤣

The narrator sounds like he's about say "The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal.

The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start."

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

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.

"Flaggy Mc'Fucksalot" LMAO

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

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

Johnny was always sick settle down oldie

Did I miss something? Every character is cool in their own way :3

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

THIS Behemoth Typhoon...

Back in the day with Guilty Gear X2, I always yelled out “MIST REFINER” with the exaggerated swagger of a black teen.

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

The narrator has a similar speech cadence to Christopher Walken, I swear

Man mist finer is kind of a weird name now that there's no mist. Is the floating card supposed to be the replacement for that? Looks cool but man where's my mf Slayer?

Johnny is cool personified

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

The move you're thinking of is called Baccus Sigh

Max don’t you know that Johnny is perfect?

Announcement reminds me of my old Tech Class Teacher in 6th Grade. Honestly thought he was a robot sometimes. Every day it was the same. Okay Class... Today... is Monday ... August 22nd ... 1996... Module 4 ... Lesson 3... please gather your gear ... and get to your stations...

I understand he's half paying attention cause his main job is to entertain chat but god, is it frustrating when Max asks a question that has already been answered in audio and video form, in the video he is currently watching

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

The Cage knows what cooking...

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.

The narrator voice sounds like an energy vampire from what we do in the shadows , as slow as it talks.

Hereee is Johnny!!!
