Big thanks to ‪@Lythero‬ for getting me the gameplay footage and in-game effects!
Huge thanks to mahouchoujou ( / mahouchoujou ) for providing me the models and the 3D assets.
MASSIVE THANKS to Axl's voice actor himself, ‪@Octopimp‬ for inspiring me to make this animation and even lending his talent to help out!
MY FIRST 4K ANIMATION UPLOAD YEEHAW!
I set out to do better than the Luke version. I made sure to animate the hair and jacket physics. Then I got tired and used automatic physics for part of the pants, sleeves and chains lol.
I ended up taking this as an opportunity to learn the particle system. It was pretty hard to figure out at first but I was picking up on it. I'll slowly get back to my particle prowess from my SFM days.

BRO! The blue RC to the fucking Sonic Adventure pose is too brilliant. Not to mention the buttery smooth transition to the stage change. Amazing vid.

[@burrito9327]

Goddamn, this went harder than expected

[@gwen9939]

Absolutely brilliant. I feel like there's a hit SFX missing on the counter hit but otherwise perfection.

[@DoovadHohdan]

I was thinking about a hit sound but couldn't at the time. The BOOM of the counter just sounded too good.

[@GHNeko]

that fucking SA1 pose caught me off guard fucking love it and the RC holy shit you're brilliant

[@KarazolaX]

The thought of a GG character using a blue rc to casually slide around is really funny to me

Omg the roman cancel into SA1 pose is amazing lol

Roman cancel is my favorite method of transportation This was an absolutely phenomenal GGST post

[@bananabike279]

Axl doing the Sonic Adventure pose feels 100% in character I love it

[@Silverado-pq6xe]

Holy shit I don’t play this game but this showed up in my recommended and I’m very happy

[@KnuckleDude24]

Yeah, I can tell you had fun when making this animation even if a ton of work to recapture that spirit of Guilty Gear as close as possible with some help. Really good work, Doov. I also like that Sonic Adventure you gave Axel near the beginning. Lol

[@deafmelonex6983]

Hilariously awesome! And a notable step up from the last one too! The fact that we can do this with our favorite characters is great!

erm ackshually that pose appeared on the sonic adventure 1 boxart

[@autoclock8650]

I assume I-No's the reason he went flying through the window after walking out of frame. She does like to use violence as a flirting technique.

[@Firenove]

Double reference with the pose?? Sonic adventure, and guilty gear came out the same year, pretty cool 😎

[@futanahriadventures]

So basically, Axl called Sol "Boy" and "Huge", friendly flirted with Jack-o and their "kids", and got countered by a jealous "spoiler". Seems canon. Also the blue rc is just chef kiss

[@randomindividual948]

I'm pretty sure he said "oi!"

[@nobleradical2158]

Nah i feel like that’s gotta be baiken’s 5D

[@FrostyKlondike]

I can't believe this cameo idea that was thrown around on Octo's stream the other day turned into this. Fantastic work!

[@jimothy7215]

God the transition between animation to the game is so amazing

[@sakarain]

I love the SA pose after the blue RC and the way the clothes, hair, and even zippers move with him.

[@CaliburDS]

This is absolutely GORGEOUSLY done

[@endermah5995]

New Favorite GGST animation

[@tia6250]

This is ART???? This is genuinely something I would have never thought of before, thank you for blessing my eyes with this.

[@TheActualMrLink]

Wait a minute…right at the end when Axl got launched, he goes through the left wall and ends up on the starting part of the stage coming from the right. The physical wall only smashes apart on first launch, which means you would’ve had to go all the way around the stage (all 5 parts) from the left JUST to get that effect. I applaud your dedication! Well done!

[@DoovadHohdan]

Nah that was all Lythero. The mad man made sure to get me that clip.

[@callmezeldaonemoartime]

God I love this meme format

[@OrochiShiki]

Give it up for the RC, baby!

[@wildman456]

Y’know Axel WOULD be a Sonic fan

[@theraymunator]

axel getting countered implies he was attacking the ladies

[@SeanTheShinigami]

The quality in this is INSANE. Earned my sub, hope I see more like it

[@saxtonnova]

Hitting the Sonic pose is so in character for Axl

[@grapie93]

One upped your Luke video. Truely good stuff. ❤

[@Berd-Wasted.]

That wallbreak transition was extremely good. Question, did you animate Axl falling into White House Reborn (was that the name) or was it just from the game?

[@DoovadHohdan]

Nah as soon as the glass shatters, it fades into gameplay. I couldn't figure out how to animate that whole thing cause I didn't have the stage LOL

[@sorryyoudidwhatnow]

​@@DoovadHohdanthat was a slick edit! I hadn't even noticed it was in-game, just thought you managed to perfectly replicate Axl's wallbreak animatition

[@Berd-Wasted.]

@@DoovadHohdan Oh what, I never saw the notification for this, weird. Thanks for responding, and great work.

[@budgetcommander4849]

The RC, the voice, the counter, the wall break, the animation overall, absolutely perfect.

[@Themasterjtg]

Blue RC into Compliment (HS) is a true combo

[@chaosroy2426]

The fact that it was a counter leads me to believe Axl was going to attack them.

[@ALloydRH]

Octopimp's British accent leveled up, he actually sounds British now.

[@Octopimp]

I'm actually flattered you noticed this. I've been working with a dialect coach and practicing a lot (I recorded for Strive over 2 years ago!). I have no idea if Axl will ever come back, but if he does and they choose to have me again, I want to be as accurate as possible.

[@ALloydRH]

@@Octopimp As a Brit, I find most US/Canada VAs are pretty poor when it comes to any British accent that doesn't fall under 'posh twat' as I call it (I detest Zelda's VA in BOTW/TOTK for this reason), so it's awesome to hear you putting in the effort.
