GUILTY GEAR - All Character Designs Comparison - X2 Reload vs Xrd REV 2

[@Vernafveik]

I wish I could see people’s initial reactions to the character adaptations / redesigns I have to imagine people were taken aback with someone like Potemkin or Millia

[@matboss1115]

You can probably check around very old forums online

[@mapuia_ralte]

Yes I was, also hated how big everyone looked (then they got even bigger in strive sheesh)

[@ImNotFunny541]

@emptyglass78672-3 weeks lmfao

[@RanmaruRei]

I yet hate new Potemkin design. Milia… Her new design was not bad, but in Strive I felt like they fixed it finally.

[@assassin8636]

​@@mapuia_ralteoh come they aren't really bad when they got bigger why should it be a concern

[@nowa4247]

Xrd really goes "the more belt the better it get" and bigger clothes

[@xKubomi]

strive amplified the bests tenfold

[@Jarubimba]

​@@xKubomi They really wanted to sell how much they liked belts with Nagoriyuki's design

[@GorbWasHere]

They definitely went bolder with the silhouettes to make em stand out more. Sharper edges. More flowing fabrics.

[@chakinabox]

(Design choices from Xrd onwards) I got a fever, and only prescription is MORE BELTS AND BUCKLES!!

[@victorkaranja1420]

And everyone decided to add leg day to their workout schedules

[@Rey-fenix]

AND NOT FORGOT THE DUMB TRUCKS IN LITERALY EVERY CHARACTER

[@bok3rnes425]

Amazing comparison. I see they added new taunt and moves. But at the same time still true to the original. Great ❤❤❤

[@Bonk4Me]

lost all her best taunts too

[@FunniNarudyne]

Yea she kind of lost her pirate-ness to me personally, it just looks like casual cosplay now. Not that its bad i just miss her older charm

[@seronymus]

Isn't strive the new game though

[@reloadpsi]

@@seronymus I think what they're saying is that because May doesn't do it in Strive, they now miss it.

[@GrayD_Fox]

Yawn

[@karisasani7006]

When it came to the new Dizzy we can see that she's more confident compared to the original and seems to understand that there are times she MUST fight

[@AMnotQ]

Would’ve loved to see a full series comparison, specifically because Axl looks like an absolute FREAK in X / Missing Link.

[@theoofliabilty3070]

JORTS

[@MiguelGuillermoSanchez]

It's pretty impressive how faithfully they recreated the sprite animations in the 3D models. Crazy how big of a glow up Baiken & Millia got in their Xrd costumes. Still wish we had an option for Potemkin in his OG outfit though.

[@speauks_4667]

It’s still crazy to me that they nailed Johnny’s design on the first try and he’s basically remained unchanged since

[@Benito675]

Potemkin went from "me big guy, have big neck armor" to *THE FUCKING WINTER SOLDIER*

[@JR-cd9sy]

Baiken, Potemkin, and Jam all got a serious glow up, and Millia was...improved? Made less bad? I mean, at least she doesn't look like a generic female Ky in Xrd, so she's got that going for her at least.

[@ahmedibrahim4997]

agreed for everything except Baiken , she is way worse in xrd onward

[@poporipopes4876]

⁠@@ahmedibrahim4997gotta disagree. Making her hair and ponytail that much bigger gives her a way better silhouette and her clothes are way more detailed in general. Also the eyepatch she has is pretty cool

[@neinja66469]

​@@poporipopes4876don't forget the jacket she's draped over her shoulders 🔥🔥 drippin ass samurai

[@CoolmuraCh.]

@@ahmedibrahim4997

[@tammid8423]

​@@poporipopes4876Yeah but she looks MUCH less menacing and rough, which kinda sucks to me

[@reloadpsi]

I just noticed the top of Faust's clipboard reads "Guilty Doctor" in Japanese and then "patient operation table" in German. However... "Geduldig" is the German word for patient... the adjective, not the noun, so it's a mistranslation that is, frankly, utterly perfect for a nutjob like Faust :P I wish I could translate more of the German on that table, but anything more interesting than things like "hospital name" or "symptoms first recorded since" is too blurred to make out, namely the questions with "nein" (no) circled next to them. I wanna know!

[@violetsky2931]

I don't know if you notice the Guilty Gear Reload Sol's taunt doing middle finger and the other doesn't just pointing out there...

[@troidcradle9414]

I still love the # Reload yet with it's fine picture which is showed after character selected.

[@RochesterAngelbard]

[@EiForgor]

May’s cute, but I like her x2 design better, the leggings/pants and shoes make her look cooler

[@happyvalentine4008]

God, with XRD to Strive there's some give and take. Some newer designs are better, some older ones are better. XRD has much better colors and textures. Strive has english voices and better animation. But with X2 to Strive it's just all straight up upgrades through and through. From the upscales like Slayer and Venom to the modernizations like Baiken and Dizzy to the redesigns like Potemkin and Millia. It's all just straight banger after banger.

[@theodoreho9200]

don't forget faust

[@godabandonedmesoibecameaba8984]

Sol got more belts and bigger pants Ky got a new under skirt , new boots , longer hair May got new ugly clothes Millia got a new dress and growed her bangs Jhonny got a new belt and glued a coin on his hat Axl got jorts Chip shows less oh his chest and got shorter gloves Zato now tries to cover his butt with a belt İno got new boots Baiken got more hair and fat Pot got his iconic armor Faust surprisingly lost his belts Dizzy got cooler clothes and a magical girl transformation Jam got bigger sleeves and downgraded snail looking legs (in stance) Slayer got thicker Venom got belts and muscular leg

[@EJJJ7383]

5:59 I've never played this game, nor do I know anything about it, but the new design for this character looks sort of unfaithful. I think they put a little too much emphasis on the boobs, and maybe even made them bigger. Honestly it's not a huge deal because I mean hey; free clicks. But, still, I think it kinda takes away from the other aspects of her outfit, and is honestly kind of distracting in a bad way. I understand the hair change, but I also think the big and spikey ponytail takes away from her initial characterization, which I assume is a trained samurai. It makes her look sort of wild rather than smart and quick. Then again, I don't know her character, so I could be wrong.

[@EJJJ7383]

Also the black muddies her outfit a bit on the arms especially, but overall the other black bits do look pretty nice.

[@EJJJ7383]

8:04 again, the boobs. Literally takes away from her design lol, imo at least

[@EJJJ7383]

9:17 actually love the hair for this one. It adds to the silhouette really well

[@EJJJ7383]

10:38 Again, changing the body unnecessarily. Unless this guy has a lore-based reason for those thighs, I think the skinnier legs fit nicely.

[@yeyo1019]

I like the design of Baiken in Xrd more but I see where you're coming from, the ponytail is very intentional though, she's meant to be rough and emotionally driven, however they went a little absurd on the game after this, Strive, same design overall but the boobs are even bigger and the ponytail is huge, I mean huge, it's even bigger than another character's big hair but that's because it was meant to resemble the mane of a lion on his case

[@fooblethegoblin9369]

ky is such a beautiful princess in xrd lol

[@CrimsonDiex]

Baiken, Potem y Milia tuvieron tremendo glow up

[@ergastolo4281]

0:25 ACTUAL middle finger in the old sprite, instead of the index one in the newer games. Back when ASW had some balls and more creative freedom

[@BTOptimizer]

I'm not gonna lie, as someone on the surface level of the fandom, I literally thought he had the middle finger up in Strive. 😳

[@MidBoss666]

Should have used the GG1 versions too, some characrers had really big changes between 1 and X.
