Every Guilty Gear Strive Character EXPLAINED

[@MythicRanger2401]

I find it really funny that Ky got all the "He's a nerd who just wants to be Sol" jokes, when in the lore of this franchise Sol is a massive nerd and is actually scared of Ky

[@theodoreroberts8242]

Yeah, canonically Ky beat Sol a lot of time despite he did not get Sin's eyes because he is a genius fighter. Geez. This guy has everything, including Sol's daughter.

[@anchofucc7400]

Ky's the jock too, Sol is extremely booksmart while Ky never got the chance to finish school before joining the Holy Orders lol

[@dandycube]

Who wouldn’t be scared of a living murder machine that also super racist towards your kind in specific

[@Ramsey276one]

This comment thread is being very educational...

[@Dem1z_]

Wow everyone is talking so nice about me

[@GCWeber]

bringing this up as a bit of trivia more than a correction, to be clear Sol Badguy's name is a reference to Freddie Mercury's song "Mr. Bad Guy," from the album of the same name. Sol's *real* name is Frederick Bulsara, which is another Freddie Mercury reference (Freddie Mercury's real name was Farrokh Bulsara)

[@chucknasty1732]

While Ky may be easy on the eyes, he comes with a lot of baggage, notably his wife and kid, who are 8 and 5 years old respectively. Also Sol Badguy, who is close to 200 years old, is his father-in-law, so do with that what you will

[@masquerabe6692]

Hol up… HOW old is his wife?

[@chucknasty1732]

@@masquerabe6692 they got together before the kid, who is literally named “Sin”, was born, so you do the math there. Also she has a pair of wings that are each sentient beings, so it’s more of a polycule I guess?

[@masquerabe6692]

@@chucknasty1732 fuck man, and I thought the MK lore was weird.

[@chucknasty1732]

@@masquerabe6692 oh yeah, Guilty Gear lore is absolutely batshit from top to bottom

[@darrylferguson3622]

​@masquerabe6692 Ky: Officer wait, she is a Gear! They age at triple the speed of humans! Officer: A Gear?! You mean those artificial life forms that humans have been at war with for the last 100 years? Ky: damn it

[@GCWeber]

The interesting thing about Chipp is he's not *really* a ninja. I mean he kind of is. But mostly he's a weeb who only half-understands Japanese, hence why he yells random Japanese words when fighting

[@FunnyValentineRE4L]

also he colonized an small african country and taught it's people wrong japanese culture

[@Ramsey276one]

FUJIYAMA GEYSER!

[@solidsadd]

SUSHI!

[@boxtupos7718]

It's really funny storywise, that Sol Badguy is the biggest nerd and Ky Kiske one of the most brutal and competent soldier there is (Sol is even somewhat scared of Ky when Ky drops the his chivalry).

[@RycoreXIII]

You probably already know this but I think it's fair to specify since gear does have some silly names. Sol Badguy is a nickname, with both "Sol" and "Badguy" having specific lore meanings. Also his actual name is Frederick Bulsara, which is literally just Freddie Mercuries actual name. Guilty Gear is amazing.

[@immortalkoopah3138]

Yeah sol was because slayer saw him and described him as radient like the sun and badguy was a title he earned when he kept attacking labs that held gear research

[@moebiusjdx7288]

As a big fan of the series for over 20 years, the brutal roasting you're giving these characters is both hilarious and also somehow a bit upsetting.

[@EnderouSama]

It's cause the roasts aren't lore accurate xD

[@suvid9490]

@@EnderouSamathat’s so true, atleast if they were lore accurate we would’ve joined in on the laugh

Sad that for a second I didn’t think this was a part 1

[@ashbowyer7792]

A note on Nagoriyuki, he doesn't need to succeed in the special move, it just needs to start its active frames, even if you get hit during the middle of it.

[@sahilshah6439]

Also important: To avoid going into his blood rage state, you can manage your blood gauge by doing Nagoriyuki's command grab which resets your meter. So you can chain high damage special moves as long as your can weave in a command grab in so that you can avoid unnecessary health loss.

[@Maxler5795]

0:43 fun fact: his real is actually frederick bulsara, a reference to freddy mercury, after shit hit the fan he decided to change his name to sol, and if i remember right, people called him "badguy" which became part of his identity

[@sev1120]

He was attacking gear production facilities, and was labeled a mysterious "bad guy" by the government. And the "sol" name was given to him by Slayer

[@Ramsey276one]

Asuka: You Really worked on your alias-- Sol: Want catnip? Asuka: ... Care to arrange some CUBES?

[@williamraszl3199]

"sol badguy? do they let you vote with a name like that" got me so good

[@svgaming263]

I would LOVE to see you continue this with the rest of the roster!

[@roomyshadows901]

I started playing nagoriyuki as the first person I played as for this game, and I just love playing him, and I just feel so amazing playing him

[@runbaa9285]

Fun fact: Sol is nearly 200 years old, while Baiken is about 100+ years old, give or take, if we follow her lore. Anji's not that much younger than Baiken, so assume he could be between 70-90 years old.

[@guywithaguitar8521]

Wondering where you found this information. Baiken is Japanese yes, but one of the Japanese refugees. It's doubtful that she was alive during that time. you could argue that she's using Ki to keep herself looking younger, but that doesn't explain why her chest grew so much larger in between games, and the fact that even masters of Ki die at relatively young ages, Kliff Undersn was a Ki Master, and you can tell by all his achievements from the Holy War, but he died at the age of 71. it is true that Anji is around the same age as Baiken, since they met each other in the colonies, but neither of them have ever been to their homeland most likely, as Anji's reaction upon meeting a real Samurai(Nagoriyuki) is one of joy and excitement, geeking out with Chipp about getting him to join their team. with all this information, we can assume she is from surviving Japanese lineage, who was born within the last 40 years.

[@matmil5]

Unfortunately Baiken says that Delilah is less than half her age. Which means she is probably around her thirties

[@fr0stdr4ke95]

​@@guywithaguitar8521 You could argue that just being Japanese in Guilty Gear gives you superpowers. No idea what powers. Just. Superpowers.

[@fr0stdr4ke95]

​@@matmil5 Baiken's official lore states her home colony was raided by Gears during the Crusades. Which happened over a hundred years ago in 2074.

[@nathaningram347]

Honestly would love to see more GGS character breakdowns. Your comedic skill is very solid and I love your vids.

[@SleeplessFailure]

As a man who loves guilty gear I never expected you to make a guilty gear video and now I'm happy

[@raveelemental4928]

I feel like an introduction of GG can't work if you don't call the buttons by their names. Hitting a super with the HEAVY SLASH button sounds awesome

[@Rose-yv5sf]

I love this sm the roasts are always on point. Your jokes hit constantly and let's just appreciate that Danny has to do these imputs himself for the visuals.

[@GCWeber]

"She's kind of like a sexy Potemkin" this incorrectly implies that Potemkin is not already the god of sex

[@Ramsey276one]

The uniform hides it. See previous games... ;)

"Bloodsucking Universe- *Holy fuck."*

[@A_Weed_Naturally]

Sol actually turns into a dragon! In (im pretty sure) all of the other games he has a super called dragon install where he turns into that form but as a transformation that lasts instead of just a command grab

[@JesusMartinez-np8mu]

I would like to see his opinion on the others

[@alexalleavitch4748]

Bandit Bringer is actually very straightforward; Sol is the Bandit, and because Bandit Bringer is a forward advancing air move, when used it Brings the Bandit to your opponent's location
