MAX REACTS: Slayer Reveal - Guilty Gear Strive

[@TheAnaz41745]

The sudden undressing you see when Slayer performs the charged Mach Punch is because ArcSys had the initial concept for Slayer punching so fast his clothes can’t keep up, which is cartoonish and didn’t make it for the finished design in XX However, they came back to realize that idea in Slayer’s GG Strive incarnation

[@dracocrusher]

I hope the super literally has a little cinematic of Sharon popping up with a new coat just to explain why he gets re-dressed to continue the round, lol!

[@andresherrero4016]

​@dracocrusher you are assuming he will not continue fighting butt ass naked (I hope he does)

[@Yeetbc]

Apparently they also planned on him having a mechanic where he gets younger that also got scrapped in a later game, really cool to see these old ideas making their way in.

[@GenericSoda]

Slayer getting younger was also an unused concept from Xrd - presumably the counterhit glow implemented in Rev2 was supposed to be carry over that idea sans visual changes.

[@AloeHalo]

[@YTDaimera]

Slayer busting out of his clothes gives off the vibe that ArcSys took that leaf out of Soriz' book, hahaha

[@xxNightxTrainxx]

Nah, he clearly learned it from Bang Shishigami

[@chipslight738]

He's a Manderville Man

[@konoegiatanez3754]

Akshchually it was Capcom back in 1997 with Urien

[@otterdonnelly9959]

⁠​⁠@@pravoslavnyereplei *ackshually Capcom started bussing off clothing before in Darkstalkers with Gallon/Talbain for his match start intro. Makes sense as GG is the DS clone.

Course he plays the same, you can't change the perfection that is Slayer's Dandyism

[@ScorchingProductions1]

Not only does Slayer look awesome, we are getting even more DLC characters after him! Hope we get Dizzy or Jam next.

[@Ronin-kk4bt]

He looks sick! Jam would be really cool!

[@Mrholysymbol]

Jam for sure but I'd also love some more entirely new characters

[@VividVoid]

In terms of "fan favorites" they're arguably the only ones left so I think they're basically guaranteed at this point for next season. That and maybe Venom but he has weird lore stuff... but at this point he'll probably make it too.

[@MaoriGamerDood]

I hope Answer is in S4

[@DJKO12X]

Give us Zappa

[@OurJynx]

His voice actually actually had my heart skip a few beats - I'm so happy that we've continued the trend of Scottish Vampires since Morrigan, Slayer sounds incredible. 🧡

[@Tabletopcloud20]

Isn't Morrigan a succubus?

[@Bonehead_Paladin]

@@Tabletopcloud20 she is indeed a succubus tho her design took a lot from vampire design conventions

[@Gamersgoinblind]

It sounds like his Xrd voice again with the Sean connery and I love it

[@VallenChaosValiant]

​@@Tabletopcloud20she was designed as a vampire. But retroactively retconned as a Succubus when a Westener told the Japane developers about Succubus for the first time. Now, in Japan, most Succubus protrayals have Morrigan's bat wings on their heads.

[@DraconicCatgirl]

@@GamersgoinblindThey brought back JB Blanc so that is the case/intent!

[@ericraululyeetusdelyeetus5028]

Well, they did make the bloodsucking universe counter hit effect cooler.

they changed so much tho lmao

[@ThatRedHusky]

Playerbase: Bruh how many weird ass mechanics can they even DO now? Slayer: So I bit him and got young.

[@jessierocket8227]

The Super making the character goes young reminds me of Kliff Undersn from GGXX.

hi max, just wanted to drop by and say thanks for being a fantastic content creator. i was recently in evo japan where this was announced, and i’ve always been a casual gg/sf player who’s nervous to get out there and play with more people. but after watching evo irl i wanted to practice more and play more often. and while it’s because of that event, part of this decision is also because of following your channel for a while now. you explain fgc terms without judgment [for newbies] and i feel welcome here and i enjoy watching your videos. love your content, fgc and otherwise. shine on!

Our favorite dandy vampire is back. Overall this was a great season, fan favs coming back with sick redesigns and banger themes. Definitely gonna listening to Slayer's theme on repeat when the full song comes out. I'm hoping we get some crazy character like Zappa next season.

[@arkdetective]

Zappa, izuna, Gabriel, & dizzy would be the dream season for me personally.

[@raekwonchambers2297]

Great season? It’s was ok at the start but other than dlc characters there was like no changes to the game at all lol n we still not getting a balance patch til next season overall this season felt like s2 but it came out swinging n that’s it

[@brendansage6876]

This season was literally almost my _exact_ picks that I wanted, lmfao. My pipe dream was (in no particular order) Johnny, Dizzy, Elphelt, and Slayer. I would've been happy with one, but this is so much more than I expected that I almost feel a weird sense of guilt for people who wanted other characters, even though it obviously wasn't my fault. (Although it was awesome to see all the people who wanted A.B.A. back popping off, even though I personally don't really care for her.) If Dizzy comes early in the next season, I will be subsequently suing ArcSys for bugging my house, XD
