We Need To Talk About Bedman? 

Lmao. Having the question mark at the end of bedman is so goofy and unnecessary what was daisuke thinkin

​@@LettuceGod1 yeah, Bed was definitely a better name. But Bedman? can be funny

Lmao you beat me to it

Yes?

​@@LettuceGod1 its supposed to be used as if someone is asking if, for example delilah asking "the bed" if "the bed" is actually her brother hence "bedman?"

it's like ultrakill where it's a good thing the fans aren't getting to pick the DLC. if the fans were in charge they would instantly waste all the first DLC slots on characters like johnny, slayer, all the fan favourites and then have no idea what to do after they put the favourites in Itd be like in fighterz if they added ssj4 gogeta in the first season pass then put videl in the last one

It's so important to the life of a fighting game to not just cater to every single request. It's wholly unrealistic and like you said, would make the game too frontloaded on popular characters. It's also I feel, a fair bit entitled to act like what's popular or what "you" want speaks for what should be done. (Disclaimer: I'm not calling GekkoSquirrel entitled as a person and frankly everyone has slipped into habits that lean towards entitlement when it comes to fighting game discussion, I'm not exempting myself there.) I have a friend who's two most requested characters were Sin and Bedman, and they're over the moon now over this. And every new character joining is a chance for them to be someone else's new favorite. Testament, Bridget, and Bedman(?) all drastically shot up for me in how much I like them after rejoining the roster, and Testament in particular is my new favorite Guilty Gear character. (Which is very impressive bc I didn't care much for them prior.) That's to say nothing of Bridget, who became so popular overnight after joining Strive that she boosted the game's sales to astronomical levels singlehandedly, something even fan favorites like Slayer probably couldn't have done. I get that it's hard to *not* feel entitled when it comes to fighting game rosters because inherently having any stakes in who joins means there'll be some disappointment when it's someone you don't like, but I wish more people were considerate of other players and what's healthiest for the game before saying anything definitive. There's also the narrative side of things, where a character like Slayer would honestly feel pretty out of place thematically since he's such a static character in a game who's central theme is change and self acceptance. That doesn't mean I don't want Slayer to be here ever, but it does mean I understand prioritizing characters who have more relevance to the story, either through the larger narrative or through their own personal narratives.

I'm all for artistic expression, but don't be surprised when the game doesn't do well, because of it. Are Testament, Bridgette, and Bedman without the man selling season passes to new fans ? I'm gonna say no, and with SF6 on the horizon these are objectively bad decisions if you want to compete for people's attention 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@cmysharingan Bridget is literally the most popular Guilty Gear character at the moment, what are you talking about. The game saw astronomical sales increases when she dropped. Asuka was my number one most wanted character from the start but he absolutely will not cause the same level of explosive popularity for the game Bridget did

@@cmysharingan Testament is also incredibly popular at the moment within the fandom (thought doesn't reach as far beyond the fandom as Bridget did) and Bedman? has picked up a fair amount of steam due to their narrative and attention to detail. Any character can become popular, especially when even the most famous guilty gear characters prior like slayer or johnny were only popular within the fandom itself and not the wider public. strive is a whole different beast compared to the previous guilty gears due to the sheer difference in sales and it's far less objective to say which characters will do well. It's also a far smaller game than street fighter and was never in serious competition with it, its bar for success and sustainability is much lower than for street fighter and will remain so even after it launches

I mean it also serves a gameplay purpose the point is that she's a distraction like people are acting like that's not tensional by the developers.

@@charliericker274 yeah because it wouldve 100% come up in testing

You should ABSOLUTELY not be giving praise to the choice of making meaningless distractions on screen. One of the worst choices i've seen since the release of SF5

She's the only human voice the character produces though, whenever your burst, she says something.

Melty blood has the maids I’ve never heard complaints about those two before feels weird to see this complaint now

God! Do you see the radiant light?

There's also a chance that Romeo's stuck in the backyard (or as how Zato would describe it: hell) and because of his intelligence, he is able to "possess" his bed. Then again, this is just a theory and the actual lore could go in a dozen directions, like bedman unironically being DEAD dead, and the bed acting independently. I mean this option isn't that likely considering his theme's lyrics, but then again the circle could be interpreted as the bed's programming instead of the backyard. Long story told short: holy fuck guilty gear has the best fucking lore ever

@@ericraululyeetusdelyeetus5028 Guilty Gear somehow has weirder lore than the other Gear, Metal Gear

@@zaroio2533 nothing here

He cried guys

He was my 3rd behind Zato and Faust

same

Same!!!

saw your video; I agree

BEDMAIN XD :-P Happy Doggo

Seriously. I get a lot of it's tongue-and-cheek, but it reminds me of that annoying subset of the Smash community that would complain whenever any new character reveal wasn't Waluigi.

@@sushiroll3795 Never compare Johnny to fucking Waluigi, never

@@JayDayKay bro he literally is. nobody who has played against him in the game actually wants him. People just think he’s cool. Same thing with elphelt.

@@evilded2 I’m convinced you actually eat glue Jesus Christ bro

Please no Johnny in Strive lol unless they don’t make him busted

YOU SEE BATMAN I DREW YOOOU AS THE SOYJACK AND ME AS THE CHAD!!! IT IS OVER

LMAOOOSJDHDH ​@@Baddaby

But the thing is , Delilah has ZERO control over Bedman?

Bedman's strive design (visually & gameplay) pushed me over the edge into buying Guilty Gear Strive. I've mained Faust in every other Guilty Gear game, but simply didn't like how Faust played in Strive, so I never bought the game. However, the introduction of Bedman changed that! I've had Strive for 2 weeks now and I adore Bedman's gameplay. I believe that just because a character isn't for you, is niche, or isn't Top Tier, shouldn't justify instantly hating the character and complaining to the developers. Ironically, there are cases where "popular" character picks, are ignored once they are actually added. A Couple examples: Baiken in Xrd (people like the design more, but hate the defensive playstyle) Banjo in Smash (Not a Top Tier) Ridely in Smash I would love for the characters that are seen as popular to be added, however I believe the inclusion of more niece archetypes allows for people on the fence to give the game a chance. I just hate it when people complain about every new character that isn't thejr preferred pick.

Reminder that Delilah is older than Sin and his mom.

@@rafaelbordoni516 Probably smarter too, wish we saw her sass mouth more people like her brother…and not a paragraph.

I really hope they add robo ky just because i want to see both delilah and bedman be extremly pissed off at him in the arcade mode or intro dialouges

​@@rafaelbordoni516 ayo ky 🤨📸

@@deltacosmic5358 robo-ky vs bedman?, delilah just drops a slur as soon as she sees robo-ky

bias really, other people got the character they wanted instead of them, so gonna complain and nitpick to hell and back

I'm new to GG and so I didn't even know about Bedman before his trailer dropped; I think it's fair to not want him but it's really annoying how they're bitching abt it so hard

It's not that he's that boring but there are choices that would make a greater number of people happy. Johnny, Slayer, Jam, Venom. Bedman is niche and him coming out means a character they do want either takes longer or never comes.

in the GG Community, it's always the second option... As an example: Just look how many Slayer, Dizzy and Jhonny (or any chaarcter in general) mains were bitching because Sin was coming back to the game.

​@@iAmCalypso33 Okay see that's a fair argument. I get that not only Bedman yakes up a slot but also Asuka does now too and its the end of the season, but there is a confirmed Season 3. Of course it's more waiting but it's not the end of the world

Aba and Zappa supremacy

@@Mal-go5dl Gabriel and Vernon

I would kill for venom and raven. Even though I'm sure raven is...busy we'll say.

I don’t have any idea why someone would want slayer and Jonny like those are to different groups of people who play them. Like I play slayer in Xrd but, Jonny is a bastard who should never come back. And I don’t see why a Jonny player would want slayer. Anyway what I’m trying to say is Vernon for Strive.

@@evilded2 johnny mains are like the male version of baiken mains though super popular but no one plays them

true

@@Jpeg_skeleton Speak for yourself, I love a character that creates visual noise and makes it hard for my opponent to react to what I'm doing

I think it's supposed to preserve Bedman's role as a knowledge check character, basically forcing the opponent to parse the visual noise or else get overwhelmed and not be able to respond correctly to gaps in Bedman?'s offense.

​@@NickJJU ah, another Ram lover

@@Jpeg_skeleton yes, a mod that significantly impacts the readability of moves should be banned. If it becomes a problem, they will either patch it or the meta will evolve around it. I wouldn't recommend playing with such a mod if you plan to play in a tournament, you'll be at a disadvantage.

@@Jpeg_skeleton i agree, mods do impact the competitive feel. That's... Kinda the problem.

Fither🗿

Bedman is a robot, of course its "it". It's an object.

Most people use they for bedman? because it's technically two "people" - Deliah and Bed itself

But for bedman? As a whole which includes delilah it's just two people Therefore They

@@user-zz3sn8ky7z Hmmm? What about Zato-1 then?

@@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034 I dont know, in the recent ign interview the developer referred to Bedman? as he so.......

Nothing stupid about trying out different things to find out what character(s) you truly love even if they are "a worse character". Finding those characters who make a 2-hour session of playing feel like only 2 minutes because you are having so much fun is what it's all about. Tier list and character strength should never factor into your character choice unless you are competing for money and even then, playing someone who you actually enjoy using/most comfortable with may produce better results than just playing the best character in the game.

@@BearlyAKoala you’re absolutely right, thank you so much. Having fun > tierlists any day. Truth is I love this character and this character makes me love strive more than any other has.

Bedman is fnaf and bedman? Is fnaf2

A certain 1987 child should have had an Oneiros Bed like Romeo and Delilah...
