The Ridiculous characters of Fighting Game history - Bridget from Guilty Gear

[@Rooflemonger]

Hey over 2 years after making this video, Bridget is out now for Guilty Gear Strive! cool beans

[@jessquiatchon2204]

He's coming and so am I

[@LovingJill]

Bridget is BEST GIRL . . . . in my heart

im just here for her... I MEAN him I mean her

Facts

[@TupocalypseShakur]

Like Kokonoe the catgirl whose parents are a human and a cat

[@djgabucay]

They got similarities on characters

[@HazeEmry]

I remember that the dev team for GG swapped to BB then back to GG so it's no wonder

[@TheProgenitor]

Johnny is the goodest boy in the entire GG narrative you take that back. This man ran away from his asshole rich family, robbing them blind in the process, and adopts orphans with nothing left into his pirate crew, where he really does view all of them as his daughters rather than romantic partners. He is a flirt and a playboy but in a very Johnny Bravo type of way. Man never gets any action and is a sweetheart deep down.

[@Rooflemonger]

Maybe johnny can adopt a boy for once cause until he does it don't read too well

[@minimonkeymasher8888]

Well, he tried seducing Bridget (by his own mouth), who's like, 13 so... Still he's a good guy at heart, i think, and he is cooler than ice, so he's still in my top 5 favorite GG characatera

[@w0Mbol0Gy]

Can you imagine trying to defend a pedophile...must’ve voted for Trump

[@TheProgenitor]

Ah yes, the man who fosters orphaned children and expressly shuns off the advances of the ones who are interested in him proves that this fictional fighting game character is a pedophile. Thank you for opening my eyes.

[@Ouryuu-Zenokun]

@@TheProgenitor also may, who is like the main lover of johhny, surprised chipp when she told her age, and in the english dub which is probably not canon but close to truth(in the japanese version it is not understandable mumbling), she tells chipp she is 20 years old

[@peterbrooke7146]

Bridget legit just got voted number 1 most wanted returning character by Japan in the Strive polls so it's super likely he'll make an appearance

[@Glaasse]

Looks like you were right. Currently watching this video during the break between the announcement that Bridget is coming to strive and the start of Evo top 8.

[@Minamiii-e7y]

Suprise! Bridged came back and was confirmed as trans both ingame and on twitter by the devs

[@GGIGamingINC]

@@Minamiii-e7y no he’s not lol. Him being trans isn’t gonna look good since he’d of been groomed into it. Femboys exist and aren’t trans because they are effeminate. Plus he only said he’s a girl if you loose a bunch of times in arcade so the bad version.

Not buffed up physically, then he’ll end up losing his charm that got him famous in the first place

[@Rooflemonger]

Hey so a different style of video today! If you guys like it maybe we can turn it into a series? The idea is to highlight some of the lesser known and sillier characters of fighting games, and with that we start with Bridget from Guilty Gear. Let me know what you think!

[@RestlessDipstick]

I'd l o v e to see this become an entire series.

[@duggythompson9323]

Yeah honestly it's pretty refreshing to see you do something different that isn't gameplay related.

[@man-ham-city]

Definitely series! Would love to see King or Yoshimitsu from Tekken, cause those guys are pretty weird!

[@zeroVagner]

Please do more

[@MTVGMSynthCovers]

great video! make a series! super entertaining and fun to watch.

[@Bimbes_McFly]

Fighting games tend to have a surprisingly deep amount of lore considering the genre, and we all know half the cast of Guilty Gear can easily fit in the "ridiculous" category lol. How about Blitztank for a future episode?

[@MaestroAlvis]

i imagine its because creators know only, like, a third of the players even care.

[@Animewatcher352]

What I love about Bridget is how Hazama, one of the most popular Blazblue characters, has his gameplay based off him.

[@N00BSYBORG]

Even without the trap factor Bridget's a cool character. Characters with yo-yo based fighting styles don't get explored as much as they should.

[@_effigy_]

I see your comments everywhere. Tell me, because I will be convinced until told otherwise, are you actually 13 penguins in a trench coat? It's the only way I can make sense of your omnipresence upon this site.

[@adrastos50]

Especially with the art style and animation Bridget would be a sight to behold in Strive. Heavily for this being a new series, especially about more obscure characters that don’t get as much limelight.

well the views are what depends if this series keeps going or not so share it around if you can! These vids take a lot more time and effort from me than the usual style of video.

[@Drewsel]

I hope you continue down this rabbithole. Some of my favourite channels are sugar punch design works, and core a gaming. (Dont worry roof, youre in that group too). Some of the more fascinating channels, and theyre accessible even if you couldnt care less about fighting games. I'd say give it a go. If anything it'll be a cool challenge to yourself to see how crazy you can get with editing and forming a narrative. Im looking forward to seeing how you handle this, because if you dont I'll be terribly disappointed. No pressure.

[@ryanpirosch3977]

Just realized - the reason they were superstitious about Bridget and his twin was because the old superstition about changelings, if I'm not mistaken

[@ImmortalXUchiha]

Wow great coincidence. I was just about to play Xrd2 that I only ordered a few days ago to know more about GG before Strive. Pls make this a series! Really nice

Okay, you know what? I hope you keep going from there! Characters like these REALLY show how crazy fighting game lore can get! XD I'm already intrigued not only by Bridget's design, but also his playstyle. Would love to try out those yo-yo setups! We do have another funny trap in the form of a bearded lady, Ladiva; and I feel like in this current generation, someone like Bridget could fit right in. I do wonder though, how will they be able to fit him in Strive, considering the timeline? Or will the timeline not even be a factor? (My knowledge of Guilty Gear's lore is seriously lacking.)

[@amenosaigiri873]

rooflemonger I feel like even robo ky has a better shot than her...

[@williamcolon4070]

rooflemonger Just because no one has seen her after Accent Core and her story doesn’t follow beyond that point doesn’t mean she’s dead. Same with Testament, no one’s seen him since Accent Core as well, but he’s still out there. In short, I hold belief that they’ll make it back in STRIVE, one way or another, if not on the launch roster like potentially Baiken, then definitely in the updated versions.

[@Kreozot2D]

Thanks for the video, good work.

[@arempy5836]

That would be interesting to see bridgets brother in the series

[@wyrmid0n289]

I would love more videos like this. If you're looking for suggestions, Yoshimitsu could prove a fruitful choice, but there would likely be a lot of material given that he appears in almost every Tekken AND SoulCalibur game.
