Guilty Gears Glorious Character Design

[@kerricaine]

the thing about grounding your character design is "how many heads would this turn walking down the street?" and i think that's where strive hits that balance perfectly. all of the characters have fantastic (in both senses of the word) designs, but if you stripped away features, they wouldn't be so outrageous. sol without the spikey hair, headband, or all the belts and straps? he's a guy in chaps a jacket, probably a biker. gio looks like an office worker with no AC. testament fits in perfectly at a goth nightclub. i made replica hoodies for bridget and may, and wear them all the time. the only thing anyone ever asked about was the cartoonishly large zipper on my bridget hoodie. the fact these characters all look like they might not be walking down the street, but could exist somewhere in the world, is what makes them so cool. the only characters who really break this are the valentines, but they're supposed to be otherworldly and not technically from earth so it makes sense in context.

"I want more people to play this game" Took this right from my tongue. This game is criminally overlooked. It just itches me that we don't have giant community like MK has for e.g

[@juliuswenceslao9655]

what do you mean overlooked, almost all big fgc events have guilty gear as their top 1 game that has the most registered players by far from 2nd. and also won goty 2021 award for fg. it really isn't overlooked. even people who never touched fighting games are drawn to this game.

[@Meta_Break]

I think what he means, not to put words in his mouth, is that guilty gear is not quite yet recognized on the same level as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. We recognize it and love it as the fgc, but the general public, not so much.

[@invarkul7831]

@@juliuswenceslao9655 meta said it before me. It's not about not being in tournaments but about not being too popular among normies. Like ever heard that ppl invite each other over to play some GGST. I believe mortal combat is 4 times more popular than GGST. Imo ggst is better in many departments

I honestly appreciate Giovanna's unbuttoned shirt, because it really fits with her story. She works for the president, but is constantly at odds with her superiors becaude she isn't formal. She doesn't wear the badge she's meant to, doesn't show up on time, lays on the roof rather than doing her job etc etc. Her having an unbuttoned shirt almost more adds to the lazy feel she's meant to have, like she can't be fucked to do it up

[@sev1120]

Plus it contrasts her with Goldlewis, who despite his cowboy-style outfit is still incredibly formal, with him wearing a full suit and tie with dress shoes. You can see that Goldlewis means business, but it also hides how dangerous he is, which contrasts well with Giovanna, where you can see she's not particularly formal, and she's quite laid back, but she's constantly on alert

[@caveirainvocada9438]

I think a big part of Guilty Gear's un-sameness is the focus towards characters who are mostly adults. Of course there is a lot more to it but just the age differences towards most mainstream anime-inspired stuff already changes how characters act and the dynamics between them significantly, at least to me. Imo it's such a shame that a lot of anime is very formulaic because as a medium it has a lot of potential that we might have even not began to tap because safe and well-estabilished stuff sells. My favorite anime tends to be those who don't use the same old dynamics or use them in a very different context. Like Lupin III, we have a Lancer (arguably two) and the fan service girl, but everything else that happens around these characters is different compared to most mainstream anime, so it gives a new flavor to even the more common tropes

[@gimmeyourrights8292]

When I think of great character designs in anime, I think of JoJo's which I feel Guilty Gear took a lot of inspiration from. When I think of great fantastical yet grounded designs, I think of Arcane. Both work for different reasons, JoJo's because it combines Western influences while still feeling very Japanese, and Arcane because it decided to tone down the fantasy fluff of League of Legends but not too much to the point where the characters lose their identity. Shapes and colors matter in terms of design.

[@Mr.Skeleton-El]

I don’t think Guilty Gear took inspiration from JoJo’s, they both took inspiration from the same thing: rock music. But Daisuke and Araki love rock music and have designed characters based off of it.

[@Nintenguy0]

​@@Mr.Skeleton-ElDaisuke has openly stated he'a recieved inspirition from Hirohiko Araki's work. Jojo's was one of his favorite mangas growing up.

[@GPlasticBeach]

Hey this is a great video but I have to point out a few things that are inaccurate: 1. The part about Lucina and Marth looking the same is a strawman arguement; yes they are related so they look alike, but in the game Lucina is pretending to be Marth so of course they want them to look nearly identical for plot convenience 2. 1:12 The two characters you pointed out are Japanese, not Caucasian 3. And Axl isn't the comic relief character in Strive, in the past he was and is still a laid back and goofy character, but in Strive he's got ahold on his powers and his whole plotline is to save people and to try to reach out to I-No as a friend. If anything, the villain Happy Chaos is the comic relief since he's always fucking around and constantly screwing with Nago and Sol

[@juliuswenceslao9655]

yeah the all the past guilty gear characters are depressed in each of their own ways, atleast now we have hc who is arguably a comic relief

[@therealjohncena760]

the majority of Japanese characters in anime look Caucasian......on purpose

[@santinogirado5487]

I'd probably argue that the comic relief could probably be May and Johnny

[@gman1515]

​@@therealjohncena760 they don't really always do it on purpose. Part of it is just that they don't see themselves as being darker skinned or any of the other major physical attributes a Caucasian person would identify on a Japanese person. This is why when you DO see a Caucasian person (usually American) in anime they are either tan beach dudes or extremely pale blonde people. Because those are the physical traits they associate with Caucasian Americans.

[@3_14pie]

I have to say though, despite at first appearing to have the generic personality of a brash shonen protagonist he looks like, sol is a character that I love personality wise. he's very intelligent, but he prefers to be reckless and not worry too much about stuff, he also does stuff for the hell of it and because he likes instead of being the logical or optimal choice. he's actually a pretty good subversion of the trope

[@frostyjakeanimations1321]

Cool video. Same feedback. I found myself reflexively lowering the volume when loud music clips start and raising the volume on your relatively quieter voice over.

[@jartism]

I basically disagree with everything you said about anime designs being too fantastical, i love how anime is the only medium to take a "subtlety is for cowards" approach to it's visuals and tone and make it work. It's so refreshing in a world of media that's so afraid of being silly and straying too far from a grounded hyperrealistic ethos. Regardless, I somehow think guilty gear strive has the perfect balance and i loved this video.

[@7fatrats]

The problem becomes that alot of these designs are over the top, yes, but because there are so many other things within the same genre attempting to do the same thing, this over-the-topness stops being something that is eye-catching, and instead just becomes part of its own norm. Thats why things like guilty gear, or full metal alchemist are so nice- they are often grounded in a sense of reality, but still pull off a fantastical story which fits their designs. On the other side of the spectrum, jojo's does hard in the other direction. No one looks generic. not even the artstyle looks similar to other anime/manga. Its characters wear things that are pretty much ripped from fashion shows, and because of this everyone is instantly recognisable- its not just that they all have wild blue spiky hair or somthing, but their entire body screams "look at me, i am an important character and have some cool otherworldly ability". And thats every character. *all of them*. And because of that, they also find a way to break out of the mold that most anime franchises are stuck in.

[@flowersandcheesecake1710]

It also depends on on what medium the anime is if it’s visual novel they’ll have more simpler design (that’s why so many people were bummed out how morning Melty Bloods design were) and if it fantasy it’ll have out there characters designs

[@arthurpprado]

You know, I've had a similar experience with growing tired of the anime formula for character designs but the series that managed to be a breath of fresh air for me was, believe it or not, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Yeah, the guys are huge and could lift a car with one hand at 17, but they all dress really well, have faces that are more grounded and even pull clear inspiration from high fashion, which isn't common in anime/manga. They have a sense of elegance in their exaggeration

[@benbloem94]

Fantastic work, dude! Looking forward to your next video!

[@TechnoCookieNG]

For a video advertised as an analysis of the character designs, the video is super surface level and opinionated. Not only is half the video not even talking about the visuals, but the “analysis” basically boils down to you saying that you prefer grounded designs over fantastical ones. This is hammered in by you basically calling Xrd’s fantastical art and animation “a problem”. Truth is, both Xrd and Strive have phenomenal animation and designs for different reasons. One is not objectively better than the other. When you’re making an analysis video like this, your points need to be objective and not subjective. You can still share your opinions on certain things, but opinions shouldn’t be the main focus. The most in-depth you actually go with the analysis is pointing out the rock and metal inspirations of the characters. Talk about the color palette, shape language, how certain clothing and accessories relate to a character’s personality or backstory, anything meaningful at all. And when you actually get to talking about individual characters after having the viewers wait until nearly the end of the video, all you basically say is “new design good, old design bad”. Even if you’re going with the opinionated route, at least explain what you find appealing more than just “Axl doesn’t look like a twink anymore” or “May looks older”. Many of said observations don’t specifically apply to the Strive designs and in some cases they contradict what you’re saying. Like, Axl had jeans in most of the games, the only time he wore shorts was in the original game and Xrd. And the argument for I-no going from a sex appeal character to a badass woman like Bayonetta doesn’t work because part of Bayo’s design is getting naked to attack. I-no and Bayonetta have always been sexy badasses, it’s never been one or the other. Ironically, you point out Giovanna does the sexy badass look not too long after you discuss I-no. She goes for the same style as I-no, yet I-no is the one who gets the short end of the stick because as you firmly established “new good, old bad”. The absolute worst part of the video is right here: 10:40 The way you nonchalantly admit you aren’t a character designer, gives off the feeling that you’re saying: “I have no idea what I’m talking about, and I don’t care.” This is especially emphasized by using a Maximillian clip to express your point rather than putting it in your own words and telling people to watch it instead because it’s more insightful than your own video. Now you don’t have to be a character designer to analyze character designs. But you can research what makes certain designs appealing and make a meaningful video about it. This doesn’t just apply to art, many KZbinrs who analyze game design have never made a game in their life, yet they still manage to bring out something insightful you may not have thought about before. If your intention was to make an opinionated piece, then the title should have been something like “Why I love Guilty Gear Strive’s designs”. However, if it was meant to be a non biased analysis, it failed on all fronts. If you ever plan on making a design analysis video in the future, here’s what I recommend watching: “ANIMATION EXCELLENCE: Rock Howard” by Sugarpunch: While the video is mainly focused on animation, there’s a sizable chunk of the video discussing Rock’s design, what makes it appealing, how parts of his design tell you what he’s like as a person, and how his design was adapted into the modern day. “The Simpsons’ Missing Bus Stop” by Kid Leaves Stoop: A video discussing the Simpsons art style and how a group of five characters from the Season 1 opening break said art style’s rules. The video goes deep into art style consistency and making characters unique from one another.

Despite loving GGST's designs as well, I feel this video is a bit unjust to some of the pieces it's criticizing, specially regarding what's being discussed VS what's being shown. 4:42 - "anime character designs are formulaic" while showing footage of MHA, which is aguarbly one of the most distinct and creative animes of the last few years in terms of character designs (the actual story is kinda bad now, but that's not the point here). MHA is one of the few shonen shows I've ever seen that let you recognize pretty much any major character from eye-shapes alone. Could've shown pretty much any majorly popular isekai anime from the last 10 years to illustrate that point. You also show footage of Kobayashi and Demon Slayer, the former which has striking and eyecatching character designs (for a romcom anime, at least) for its main cast, and the latter being one of the only anime I've seen that uses cloth patterns as character defining aspects. Doesn't really illustrate your point IMO. 0:53 - as another user pointed out. Picking specifically Lucina and Marth seems a bit disingenuous when you could've got pretty much any other FE character and compare them (I mean, just look at how similar Marth and M.Byleth look). 5:53 - Sol isn't the "young, hopeful good guy MC", so it really doesn't fit the comparison. Your typical shonen triad metaphor doesn't really work in GG. Specially mentioning Jack-O, since she was never a "companion" character up until Strive, and her design is pretty much untouched from XRD (where she was kinda an antagonist). Dizzy seems much more of a "companion" IMO. You could also have picked Sin as the "loud best friend".

I think it's worth noting that the character designs in some of the works you showed are as integral to the plot of those games and individual stories of its characters. If we're going to make a surface level critique of common tropes in anime without acknowledging western media for doing the asme thing it's a tad inconsistent. We're both wrestling fans and we both know pro wrestlers have outfit and entrance choices that are over the top. Westerners in media are known for being loud and obnoxious in both design and personality while Japanese designs are known for being over the top and ornate while most characters are not. It's just a difference in culture. I love your content but I do implore you to explore that perspective because it's usually just something that simple.

cool? i'm not saying that your opinion is wrong but seem... a bit unfair, Guilty gear designs are fantastic but that's almost every fighting game, the design philosophy behind these and shounen animes are pretty similar, you can even add league to the list if want to but every character has to wear their personality on their sleeves and it shows but how different is Nagoriyuki's "keep out" sign are from Iida's white knight attire in terms of subtlety?

This video isnt made to make you think Guilty Gears character design is objectively better than shonen anime or other games. The point i wanted to make is that those design just didnt work for me, and guilty gears did. It all comes down to preference, and GGs rock and roll references and flair was what I fell in love with. I just wanted to talk about the sexy rock and roll gorilla for 15 minutes.
