The Best Of Guilty Gear Xrd

[@wak2665]

Max vs hotashi will forever be the best game in xrd. The IK into disconnect into sub was the strongest shit I've ever witnessed.

I'm gonna need a source, I need to see this!

I felt I had to comment on this. I've always been a casual fighting game player, used to run mvc2 with my brothers when it came out on ps3 psn store. I watched evo 2018 DBFZ because I was having fun playing my friends in that game. I decided to watch Xrd on a whim just cause why not. Lostsoul's run was legitimately electrifying. But another thing Obama didn't touch on was that he was commentating that top 8, nd that was a huge factor in how hype it was. He represented the stakes, history, hype so clearly that as a casual and someone who had never seen guilty gear, I was super invested. That set made me take competing in DBFZ way more seriously and I have had a lot of regional success here in Ontario. Funnily enough I am now learning Xrd and I have around 300 hours or so. All this because of the fire that that set lit under me. So thanks Obama and Lostsoul! -yhuss

Hell yeah! Play more guilty gear!🔥

[@Crescent-Adam]

This kind of video from people who are deep in a game's scene (in this case both the Western and Eastern scenes) is honestly priceless. Not only is it a tight video on its own, but it also serves as a historical document for future reference by anyone interested. GG

[@Copperhell144]

Any lore from "older" games/times is appreciated

[@N00BSYBORG]

Five years later and It's still hilarious to imagine some dudebro or old guy tuning in to ESPN and seeing Millia.

[@kabu506]

It's been 5 YEARS ALREADY? fuck me bro time flies

[@shaymessfgc653]

Such a cool video concept for anyone interested in spending a night watching some of the best sets in GG history

[@YllnerMusic]

This video went straight for my heart! If a similar video but for GGxx series would drop i would devour it

[@haten1]

That was a very interesting listen. Thanks for spreading the knowledge to us little people.

In my mind, nothing tops NAGE vs Omito, but for my characters SPECIFICALLY, Summit’s run in EVO Japan 2019 was utterly PHENOMENAL. Summit vs Chachacha was intense, electrifying, and amazing.

[@618Smokey]

This was a dope video. I agree with Obama about not getting many big international tourneys like Evo 2018 was. Players like Pepperysplash, Deb, and Hamad all leveled up after that, would’ve loved to see what chaos they’d cause on an Evo bracket now

[@thisistherun4015]

This is a crazy video, it's passionate and highlights the best stuff

[@coldnova]

Had the privelege to see Mikaten 3 in person and every set was absolute fire. Harken must have gone through 3 packs of smokes lol.

[@calvino6949]

I'm a smash player trying to pick up a FGC game. I'm playing tekken for now, but your last video made me really want to get into GG rev 2 due to all the expressive mechanics that you can grind. I hope strive brings more cool storylines, because I can see myself loving GG.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Strive will have to bring a culture and heat all its own, I think it inherits very little aside from the name and some characters, tbqh

[@calvino6949]

@@ANIMEILLUMINATI Being new to it, that might be a good thing for me. Just as long as strive becomes as cool as rev 2 seems to me, I'll want to stick around with a guilty gear :)

[@2MinuteSoup]

I'm so glad you mentioned that takehara set obama. It's one of my favourites too and the reason my first character that I put mad time into was ram in xrd. Takehara is such a fucking character he's so entertaining when he plays and his camera antics are hilarious.

[@sinshenlong]

mocchi vs omitto in 2018 was really sick too

[@slushrides]

I’ll have to say one of the more recent sets that had me on the edge of my seat was Teresa vs Hotashi at CEOtaku

[@MuiltiLightRider]

I think you've got to include Zidane vs Lost Soul at Invasion of TSB. It was Lost Soul's first tournament after being hyped as the netplay god. And we didn't realize it at the time, but it was when Zidane would no longer be the best US player and Lost Soul would begin to carry that torch. Not to mention the hype commentary and crowd Overall, the past 5-6 years of Xrd have been great

[@katsutama]

Samitto vs FAB, best Chipp vs best Potemkin. Every game and every round of this match-up. You cant just blink !

[@hydrosting]

“Lost soul not only takes the torch, hits the ceiling and busts that bitch wide open” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Vitz_atelier]

Lost Soul is my hero. Also that last set Majin mentioned is legendary. Fucking great set.

Deb vs MarlinPie was such an amazing set, especially after such an intense Winner’s Finals between them as well.

[@xXSilverMCXx]

Maybe I'm miss-remembering this, but I seem to remember EVO Japan 2019 Summit vs Chachacha Grand Finals being insanely hype to watch. Some of the shit Chachacha was doing with Haehyun was fuckin wild. THE KICK LOOPS BAYBEEE!!!

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

maybe i know too much about it and it brings it down in my eyes. ask me about it and ill talk about it on stream

[@metalgeartrusty]

Havent heard from majinobama in a while. Hope you’re ok, much love

[@Ready_or_not_here_I_come]

why does the guy in the corner mouth synchs with you talking, I had to do a double take to make sure this is the right channel.

[@AndréVilaFranca]

I love Fino's (Venom) play style. He makes all matches so much fun to watch. As well as Yosuke (Axl), FAB (Potemkin), Karinchu (Johnny) and Samito (Chip).

[@Nightshine0]

Any chance of getting one of these for Blazblue? This is pretty good, I like these kinds of vids.

[@JimmyTran1]

Good story telling 👊👍

[@SophistictaedDevil]

Wish I could go back and invest all the time I had in SF and put it into GG. This game is so much fun to play.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

you wouldnt be the GG player you are without the background you came into it with from SF. Dont regret stuff like that

[@Kromgar]

I'm a big fan of when t5m7 ran roughshod through evo only to fall twice to omito.

[@zongzong9887]

I love KV as well, one of my favorite player to watch !

[@Gramercy666]

Ogawa v Omito FT 10. A close set, going back n forth, especially considering the tier list of their chars

[@ZephyricaSSBM]

Kazunoko vs LostSoul grand finals at Final Round 2018 would make my list, at least in the honorable mentions

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

that set wasnt even lost souls best set that year

[@anggakarapreviandana2877]

How many Sol players Omito fights in tournaments?

[@amkkma]

In tournaments seem like it's almost none since he was not a very good tournament character, but in exhibition matches it was Mochi and Haaken.

[@anglosajonsanchez6653]

please translate machabo vs ogawa

[@OMGWHATTHEJANK]

What sets a match apart from others is when you can feel the intensity and emotion behind the play

aye yo the hair lookin nice forreal

[@zkc7489]

Thanks for the homework Teach!

[@MrAndoProductions]

The criteria for most of these picks as a good set is simply "the underdog won". Listing a set where KV dropped his bnb 7(8?) consecutive times as a quality showcase of the game is ???

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Why do you assume my criteria for most of these picks as good sets was simply "the underdog won?" why would you pick that one set to comment on out of the 15 or so I suggest? lol I look forward to your video and breakdowns of the community and its legacy. You seem to have really strong opinions

[@MrAndoProductions]

​@@ANIMEILLUMINATI I picked that set because it's the most egregiously low quality gameplay of the picks, showcasing how sloppily someone can play with 1.1 Johnny and still have it be close. It was pretty painful for me to watch even at the time, let alone in retrospect. I assume that your criteria of the underdog winning having way too much pull over gameplay quality just by looking at the picks. Not listing a single set with Machabo where he won despite objectively being the games best player until Omito? Listing KV vs Machabo where both parties play poorly/nervously and saying KV's defense was the factor when he does zwei yrc 6 times in a round (???) Lostsoul vs Nage where both parties play poorly/nervously in a 6.5/3.5 mu until he gets shotgunned? Why not pick Zidane's run for this video? He played on average much better and played a way less strong character at the time too and he was still a huge underdog. Listing Karinchu sets 3 times because no one ever expects Sol to win this mu (I like these picks anyway, but there's 100% an underdog factor already in fighting 1.0 Jo with Sol) Takehara vs Mocchi at the PS3 event is probably the least kind you could be to Takehara as far as a set where he played well (he's an amazing player, why not when he made a run at KSB or something?) Where's Zadi? Raven not "hype" enough? 310 vs Ogawa at EVO? Why no team tournament stuff? I honestly just expected a better list from you since it's clear you have passion and have attended the vast majority of these sets and clicked on the vid in the first place expecting to enjoy it.

[@Dreikoo]

You should have the game playing more and static images less.

[@gizzad]

I played Lost Soul online once. I don't think I hit him one time. I just embarrassingly choked from second 1. 🤣🤣
