"why would you block?" She's a Guilty Gear player at heart

[@RuzPav]

Kinda of a poor choice having martial artists react to GUILTY GEAR of all the other "normal" fighting games. There's no motion capture, there's not much realism and it's a anime game full made out of music references. Would be better to see the reactions of animators tbh.

[@hugosilva9502]

Or idk, a metal head watching about stuff from guilty gear and guessing as many references he could. That would be a cool video

[@azureknight729]

Probably because these guests are fan favorites on the show but yea, i get what youre saying.

[@Ratere1]

I think they arleady rwact to a bunch of more realistic fightings before

[@pikachuattack542]

I'd much rather watch Guilty Gear than slog through Tekken or Mortal Kombat for the 30th time.

[@RuzPav]

@@pikachuattack542 I get what you are saying, but I don't find it interesting listening how an actual martial artist would deal with FAUST or POTEMKIN.

[@RipChordProductions]

*I really think you guys NEED to at the very least have an expert at the game in the video to answer questions at the end, or I'm pretty sure some wouldn't mind literally just getting an employee on standby to search things on google.*

[@robertagu5533]

These people are the go tos cuz they ACTUALLY ARE experts at what's being shown here.. it's NOT people that got NO IDEA about fighting... critiquing fighting. An these aren't White belts they're ACTUAL Black Belt experts here.

[@goby1764]

It's been years and they still won't listen

[@slickman5969]

FACTS

[@terrymcguniess7582]

man i love guilty gear one thing i love about this game is the art thats always over looked by alot of gamers i feel like art teams never get the respect they deserve

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

The guy was so excited about proper sword drawing technique, and I was like: "Wait until they show you *Baiken,* bro!" 😃 They didn't show them Baiken. 😑🤦🏻‍♂️

[@BeenNoticing]

He's kicking because he has frame advantage. In that situation the sword will take minimum 2-3 frames longer to be active. Even if the sword was mid strike, the kick would connect first, thereby negating the sword strike. It would also trigger a Counter hit state resulting in a punish combo and possible wall breaking situation.

[@ShadowNinjaMaster93]

>Sees a Sol vs Ramlethal match, neither of which have a sheathe for their swords >Starts talking about iaido ??? LOL

[@wryytard]

why tf are they talking about mocap on a video where they're reacting to an ANIME FIGHTING GAME where NOTHING is motion captured???????

[@P0rk_Sinigang]

Yeah, this one was a weird choice.

[@Pvt_GoatyGoat69]

Ye i agree reminds me on one priest say that the doom shotgun is equivalent to the bible like 😂

[@derrickhaggard]

One of the "viewer questions" asked was "Does clothing make a difference when doing mocap?" and they explained that it really doesn't as when doing mocap only article of clothing you're wearing while doing mocap is the motion-capture suit.

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

With how the art style of this game really aiming to be like as much as 2D animation as possible with 3D models, I’m kinda doubting mocap was used for this.

[@SuzakuX]

​@@kaylemathewcomendador6964everything Arc System Works does is animated by hand, every pose adjusted one frame at a time, like stop motion. That's why it looks so authentic to 2D animation.

[@TheChamp2105]

I want them to react to Jack-O’s crouch. Lol

[@mf_dva]

And Baiken's walk

[@captainphoton1693]

Guilty gear is not motion captured at all. What is that video????

[@gatr2897]

The interesting thing about Ramlethal is that she's actually keeping her swords sheathed at all times so it's not really Iaido, altho I guess you could sort of equate her little carrier guys as the sheath. She uses her swords bluntly, the only time we've seen the blades is in her Instant Kill in Xrd. Not only does Goldlewis's coffin have a chain on it, it has a handle on the other side to hold it more closely, and the ends of it also have a giant meat tenderizer surface on it lol, it's wild. There's also an alien inside that deploys some other weaponry for him like a gatling gun and a drone bomb. I'm not super familiar with yoyo stuff, but from what I've heard, a lot of Bridgets moves are based on real yoyo tricks, her animations are pretty intricate with how the strings are animated. Apparently in the old games she was in that used pixel art, having to animated all the strings of the yoyo attacks basically made it twice the work of animating any other character. Slayers whole gimmick is that as a vampire, he's so much physically stronger than most of his opponents, so in game he actually pulls his punches a lot, and you can see that in some of the animations like his close slash and Pile Bunker he's holding on to his striking arm with his other arm to literally hold it back just a bit, and yet those are still two of his most devastating moves to be hit by. I'm surprised to see an episode on this game! There's a good bit of detail with certain characters in terms of fighting styles but with a lot of them it's just hard to see because of the way the game works, each move kinda goes by so fast. Nagoriyuki and Giovanna were definently *the* ones to show off. Nagoriyuki is a trained samurai, and not only is he based on Yasuke, he's implied to be the Guilty Gear universe equivalent to Yasuke, and he's also a vampire which is how he lived from that time all the way into Guilty Gears time. Giovanna is Brazilian and takes heavy influence from capoeira, she probably has the most grounded fighting style in the game, but I mean that being said these characters all fight like they're Dragon Ball characters lol. A good one to include here would've been Johnny who uses lightning fast Iaido, he slashes his sword so fast that you don't even see it exit the sheath, it's super badass. Chipp, Baiken and Sin would have also been cool to see, seeing as Chipp is a ninja and Baiken and Sin both have some really wild weaponry. A flag user in particular would probably be very interesting to them I would imagine.

[@mrgoosetavo]

Bruh, where is my glue soldier and drug ninja 😭

[@captainphoton1693]

Did they really just avoided Leo's back stance? That was literaly the only thing I would have waited them to have actual takes about. Putting martial art is on guilty gear is pretty fool. Like what did you expected them to say. Honestly a prompt about how would you fight them would have been much more i'tresting. Like that take on faust. That could have been fun.

[@jazzyj3059]

Okay, I did not expect this one 😂

[@thecontinuousone3183]

Gemma: Chun Li is my girl Jam: I am the version of her in here Slayer: mach punch Here comes a new challenger Terry: OK Sol: Gear! Leo: The legendary hunger wolf! Gio: really

[@derrickhaggard]

Creepy Thin Man is a accurate description of Faust

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

a wise old man once told me that a true master should never blindly stick his sword in anything.......

[@Aliddotia]

Awesome, they appreciated all of the weird and wacky weapons that Guilty Gear brings to the table

[@kaylemathewcomendador6964]

It’s funny to see them try analyzing & adding realism to a game that ain’t really aiming for realism. I doubt they used mocap for this game, with it aiming to look as 2D animated as possible & all. I’m surprised Baiken ain’t here, as I’m curious to see their takes on someone fighting with a sword with one hand.

[@cloudstcloudst]

How on Earth do you make this video and not include a look at Baiken's one armed style?

[@traumatized_otaku]

HOLY SHEEB IT HAPPEENNNEEDD!!!!!!!

[@luislimagc]

Gemma is back!!!! Yaaaaaaay

[@karagravis2671]

Don't let bro cook more, pls

[@rainyfriday6175]

Come on, Virtua fighter!!!

[@tommyc139]

PLEASE do martial artist react to super sentai all henshin and roll call that's my special request ❤❤❤❤

[@vunature5181]

4:54 Would using two swords be practical when facing more than one opponent?

[@langostasamurai2977]

RIP Chipp

[@daineko1154]

I don't get why you would have them react to a character... and then have that character get beat up for most the time they're reacting... O_o

[@KrAceZ-z9r]

Nago stays winning

[@tommyc139]

Will you plz do martial artist react to super sentai all henshin and roll call that's my special request ❤❤❤❤

They didnt show baiken to the martial arts pros... this is insane...

I used to play with a sword 🗡️ but I didn’t use it to fight

[@zetta8277]

Oh shit ya doing GG thats awesome. Get two music experts next to react to the music.

[@Equally_Uncanny]

Gemma 😍😍

[@JONtheULTIMATE]

CLINT!

[@railtus5433]

They should reacts vf5

[@Matt_El_Comicologo84]

Well...they should have not react to a video game that clearly has lots of fantasy fighting styles and is far from realism. I can't believe I'm saying this but this is the worst react ever made

[@tek87]

Guilty Gear?? This is getting ridiculous...

[@LimeSlime69]

omg is guilty gear relevant now? i better see players in the floors now

[@tommyc139]

Gemma Nguyen is so beautiful and gorgeous ❤❤❤❤

[@thetypeofred]

Dude... She didn't know bridget is a male femboy

[@Grimbago]

Please do more episodes of Experts Try with martial artists!

[@derrickhaggard]

One request for Experts Try: Martial Artists was the Blazing/Super Moves in Def Jam: Fight for NY which Gemma and Yoshi stated that video will not happen as to even pull off most of the Blazing/Super Moves in Def Jam: Fight for NY would require way to much prep time due to needing properly executed wire work to pull them off.

3:11 He practices Japanese arts or least weapons BUT isnt aware of what a Kasurigama IS?? BUT hes aware of radically different arts that aren't Asian based like Caporeirlla (probably butchered that).

Lol i like how she doesn't know Bridget is a dude.

she's trans

It's been 2 years. Let it go.

[@tek87]

@@ashyunderscorealt95 What are you talking about? This was recent.

[@lewomewo3480]

Anyone who doesn't know about Guilty Gear would definitely think Bridget is a girl.

The classic "designed like a girl and voiced by a woman, but they're inexplicably a boy" anime trope!

Wait till jimma finds out Bridget’s a guy ….

[@visualeyesmusic]

She won’t. Because she’s not.

[@RetroTensei]

@@visualeyesmusic oh you don’t know 😂, go look at GG X2. Then get back to me.

[@visualeyesmusic]

@@RetroTensei oh I’m fully aware. But the events of strive happen after that so…

[@RetroTensei]

@@visualeyesmusic sounds like it wasn’t retconned, meaning the order of events doesn’t matter too much cause he still has twin brother, family was scared and raised him as a she, and her identity is of female. Share me a link of retcon and i have no problems with switching my views. Either of us can be right after all.

[@visualeyesmusic]

@@RetroTensei kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4Wni32er9Bgfrssi=eyyM9TaVCsKdBTc3 In her complete ending in strive, she comes to terms with the fact that she doesn’t like being a boy, and comes out as a girl.

It's a shame that it wasn't an actual Guilty Gear game.
