Why Axl Low is my Favorite Guilty Gear Character

[@Seltz_]

Ong

[@bee_frx]

and im pretty damn glad he is

[@patientnr.0409]

One really fun thing about Axls story is that in Xrd he says that his favorite thing about Megumi is her smile and in Strive he can identify I-No when she smiles in the end.

[@icecreamchief5417]

Which makes it even better cause I-No never truly smiles, she always has a sadistic fake smirk if she’s “smiling” at all.

[@ryukrocks8843]

If I had a nickle for every video I’ve watched of someone explaining why a guilty gear character is their favorite, and in the later half of the video going into how this character helped with their mental health somehow, I would have 2 Nickels, which isn’t a lot but I’m really glad it’s already happened twice

[@morgboat744]

deadass Testament’s character arc kind of helped with my mental health as well. the fact that their whole point of their OST is the idea of “it’s okay to exist” and their line “I used to carry myself like some sort of demon too, even though i was surrounded by accepting people” really struck home for me Guilty Gear has the best fighting game characters hands down imo

[@h4roeverynyan55]

Axl is the guy who was given a bad hand again and again. After working to make his street a better place and getting a nice girlfriend he lost it due to time shenanigans. He continued to hop from timeline to timeline, suffering for it and having nobody to ask for answers towards. He has every single reason to be bitter, resentful and angry at an uncaring universe... and willingly chooses not to. Even when he got his godlike powers in control he could've told the universe "fuck you" for separating him from his girlfriend and giving him a hard life... and chose to be kind instead. Basically the biggest crime of his is being bri'ish.

[@theygrey]

i like your take here a lot. the concept of axl growing resentful or angry never really occurred to me. it's another great way to look at it. thank you!

[@JeremyTheBreadKnife]

I like how that's ur reason and mines like funny wacky British man who can time stop like a jojo character.

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

Tbf that’s a pretty big crime

[@nahhhidwin]

I commit this crime every millisecond and I’m not guilty in the slightest

[@Voc_spooksauce]

I feel so bad, he's bri' ish

[@RadChad]

Very good video, Axl Low is based and epic. While I think he's morally a good guy, if I was given the option, I would steal the white house. Keep up the making of videos and pondering of hunks.

[@theygrey]

well i'll be! is that THE rad chad? thank you for the support, man! your video on happy chaos was a large inspiration for this!

[@mikah439]

"despite being british, is a really good person" good video lol

[@dizzythegamer1224]

Axl seems to be the type of guy to be the vocalist of a band known for its guitar solos and high pitched vocals

[@theygrey]

i love dance gavin dance.

[@scaredjem1079]

The best part about axl getting that burger is the fact he most likely paid for it and gave a good tip

[@gatr2897]

This is a wonderful video. Video essays made by ppl describing their favorite Guilty Gear character makes me so happy. You can make British jokes about Axl all day but it's impossible to deny how amazing of a character he is, and the resolution of his and I-Nos story in Strive still makes me cry. Hes a legendary character among legendary characters

[@remiceleste3034]

lmfao someone just linked me to this, thanks for the shoutout and glad I was able to help you with the Axl bombers!

[@theygrey]

remi you are the GOAT

[@KWCHope]

one thing I want to clarify for viewers, the original mentioned as the one who gave a message for Axl to deliver to That Man was Happy Chaos, they are one in the same

[@robtheone2689]

Happy Chaos is also That Man but not that That Man

[@MeatbagSlayer]

​@robtheone2689 He's the other "That Man" that just likes committing identity fraud

[@LeFisheboi]

Chaos isnt pure evil Him helping i-no become herself again was an entirely benevolent goal He wants a story and will play whatever role he needs to fill to make it happen, which has usually been the villian because humanity needs something to unite against to progress

[@eliasmagus5086]

Happy Chaos is just another addition to Guilty gears goated cast of characters

[@jamescampbell2353]

Chaos is a very frustrated playwright because it’s very hard to play as a protagonist if you have near-omniscience, so he’s usually the antagonist. Having no attachments also means he can disassociate from anything and everyone except Baiken.

[@LeFisheboi]

@jamescampbell2353 Baikens fighting style basically has Pokémon type advantage against chaos. After dropping her vengeance, her fighting philosophy changed. She is now a mirror that forces self reflection on her opponents, and nothing scares Chaos more. As she forces Chaos to stop disassociating and understand who he is, what he is, and what he has done

[@internet_unfunny_man]

If someone doesn’t understand the big words happy chaos knows everything so he gets so bored and so he just starts causing shit to learn new stuff and he will go along with pretty much any idea if it funy.

[@CosmicErrata]

I have a headcanon that he knows the world leaders would disarm the nukes, and Axl would save those people. He's just pushing them to become the heroes he knows they are. I still don't like him but I think he knows how to draw out potentials.

[@AutumnForHire]

man i absolutely love this genre of videos, more close and personal analyses of guilty gear characters (or other characters) are my SHIT. The quality of this video is actually unbelievable compared to the view count and your subscriber count. i’m excited to see more out of this channel, keep it going!!

[@ellagage1256]

I absolutely loved this video ❤ You really did the best job of explaining what makes Axl so appealing as a character in a game full of over-the-top characters. His unnatural optimism, his himbo-like kindness, his responsible yet goofy use of being a LITERAL TIME GOD NOW! That's why I adore his Strive intro. He moves around his frozen time, but is always aware of butterfly effects... Simply just letting time and life be as it is because it's already complicated enough. Pretty sure he doesn't even actually touch the butterfly when unfreezing time, he's just getting into a cheeky pose because Axl is the embodiment of a "Silly Little Guy" and I love him

[@KrissyBlues]

Glad Strive got you so into fighting games, also glad you're putting a spotlight on Axl. Fighting game characters are unique since they're almost all playable and that gives a rly special connection to their story and character that doesn't exist for a ton of different genres, and Axl's story and character is definitely unique among the guilty gear cast

[@Weeb1367]

I don't really think Chaos did what he did because reasons. He sure loved to say he did, but his real motivation was revealed in his little brawl with Asuka: he and I-no just shared a shitty fate and he wanted to help her which is pretty endearing

[@coomcharger6105]

Well, yeah, but I don't think blowing up an entire hotel was necessary to get Nago

[@Weeb1367]

@@coomcharger6105 Like hell it wasn't. Axl's a real gigachad tho

[@Storse]

i mean chaos' whole deal is he loves to see people prevail through hardship. he stirs shit up in the hopes that the people he puts through the blender will come out on top because that's the most beautiful thing to him. it's in his theme pretty explicitly in the latter half during the disney princess section.

[@LuisMartinez-ex3sh]

My introduction to Axl was strive and from his round win animation the way he walks and talks I got a really chill dude vibe. Also bark bow wow Cafe

[@lok4890]

You probably know, but, the reason for the Union jack flags in his design and the jorts, is because of Axl Rose. Thats where the jorts and bandana stuff comes from

[@theygrey]

you know, i knew his name was an allusion to Axl Rose, but i didn't know the part about the outfits. thanks for informing me!

[@TonicSpirits]

A lot of people seem to be giving you compliments on how well put together this video was, and I agree! Cheers! On to a few comments about some individual points you made: - 2:54 I want to object to calling Anji the "true weirdo pick" since I consider him one of my mains, but at the same time he's probably the character I see least in tower... - 15:27 A lot of the songs have sad elements to them, but are ultimately uplifting or hopeful for a brighter future! Baiken, Faust, Potemkin, I-No, and Ky are pretty good examples! -and then there's May's theme- - 17:51 Bit of competitive history - at launch, Axl had... problems. He lacked common tools many of the roster had and couldn't convert stray hits into good combos very well, even with meter (all the recent patches made him MUCH better). Despite being low on tier lists, he was still a counterpick at tournaments because of character unfamiliarity and some polarizing matchups in his favor (like Nagoriyuki). It was a weird paradox of him being a weak character yet a strong tournament pick if you knew when and how to use him.

[@Kusari_Downpour]

A lot of people say that Anji was nerfed in strive, mostly just sounds like an excuse but I can see the problem.

[@theygrey]

thank you for this comment, tonic! you pretty much caught all of my less-well-researched statements, lol. All i meant when I called anji the "weirdo pick" was that he is the character i see the least of. i mean it as a term of endearment! you are correct on your point about the character themes! and finally, thank you for informing me about his history competitively. i haven't been around long enough to know a lot of this! i based that comment off of the fact that the only axls i have seen in a tournament setting are pinhead and remi. probably just boils down to me not indulging that often in the competitive side of strive.

[@gamingbean127]

Honest to god I fell in love with Axl just off of his beautiful charisma and funky accent but I always kept him in my pocket as a character I would usually never play, but after watching this I think I might give him another try. Thank you.

[@ima_jesus]

this video is so goood how does it have so little views. I could watch you talk about your favourite character for hours. It’s also kinda amazing how every character in Guilty Gear has such an interesting back story that everybody empathizes with a different character in a deep level. I find you talking about how meaningful that axl win animation is to you way more interesting and compelling than somebody just talking about the character’s story too

[@theygrey]

thank you very much. this was the exact kind of response i had hoped to get while making this. glad you liked it.

[@Akay4444444444444444]

I think there's a couple points you should have included: how for most of Rev until the end he's depressed to the point of inaction until he's inspired to help by Sol's never giving up, and how his role in Arcade mode (both his own and Giovanna's) is trying to track down Nagoriyuki to just have a conversation with him, which to be fair about half the cast's arcades are them trying to reach out to Nagoriyuki in some way but still. I'd also like to mention Happy Chaos does stir shit up cause he believes humanity surviving bad things makes it stronger, and he both tipped Axl off about the apartment attack and could seemingly move in Axl's time stop but did nothing to stop Axl from saving civilians, so he's not exactly just killing people and causing destruction for the hell of it.

[@bigtuesday1643]

You did a great job pulling me into the world of Axl enlightenment, great editing and good laughs along with the absolute feels from Axl's story, 11/10

Anji isnt the weirdo. Hes the underdog chad character.

[@adrianayala5985]

The ending made me cry bruh 🙏🙏🙏 really appreciate this video

[@dawsoncantrellmydude]

This is seriously one of the best videos I’ve watched in a while. This is exactly what I love to hear from people, how much they love the scrimblos of the universe, the little characters that on paper sound crazy and weird but mean so much to us. Beautiful work!

Ahhh yes, a fellow based Axl enjoyer. Good people are awesome and if given infinite power I also would like to think that I would grab a sweet burger and chill with my homies.

[@ardidsonriente2223]

Also, it seems you would like Doctor Who. Axl personality and story seems pretty similar, just with a kusarigama instead of a sonic screwdriver.

[@Seloliva1015]

I cried at the end of Xrd with Axl's story. He is truly just the best guy and I love him. I hadn't understood the Strive ending with the swap, thank you so much for explaining it! Awesome video!

[@theygrey]

LOL whats up K7!

[@JeremyTheBreadKnife]

Dude just gonna say respect from one axl main to another lol. Im terribke at strive and i do occasionally do the potempkin or faust funnies. But whenever i wanna play ranked or really wanna have some fun against a friend i whip out axl as all his interactions with characters are amazing and yeah ur right the lore of him is awesome too :P

[@vund2548]

wonderful video, but in my opinion Happy Chaos doesn't just do things for the funny (although that's most definitely a part of it) he does a lot of it to keep humanity from getting stagnant, and stop growing, so he makes them Strive for something, whether it's saving the world or otherwise, although he is still batshit insane, but this video has most certainly changed my views on Axl, and I thank you for that.

[@theygrey]

i'm glad you liked it! regarding HC, you're probably correct. my understanding of him is very limited compared to axl.

[@Sade4848]

Awesome video, I love hearing people talk about characters they like!

[@moldycup4596]

Very nice video, I really like this type of stuff and it further reinforces my love of guilty gear by showing that almost literally every character in the series can resonate so personally with anyone. (I have a very similar thing with Faust) Axl is a character I dont think about too often and for quite some time in my journey playing the series I didnt fully understand his story or his connection to I-No, but him getting a happy ending in strive made me feel really happy for him, I liked it a lot. I also havent watched all of Xrd's story mode, only read about it, so learning about Axl helping Sol get the person he cares about more than anything back to him is so awesome, I love that. Such a selfless gesture that would only work best with Axl being the one to help. This vid helped me understand and like Axl a little bit more, great stuff!

[@theygrey]

thank you! pretty much then entire reason i wanted to make this was because i felt axl was a little underappreciated. it's nice to see that i've shown some people the light, as it were.

[@99loolill]

Phenomenal video! I'm crying now ;__;

[@JHeckman12]

This might seem like a strange thing to say after watching a video about a fightning game character, but I'm going to say it: This video is important. People should watch it. It zooms in on one of the most important aspects of fiction, which is that it can show us answers to questions that we didn't think to ask. Whatever They Grey is doing right now, I hope that happiness is issued plenty, and that it will soon come out alright.

Bro, I'm so glad there's other people out there other than me who has Axl as their favorite character in Guilty Gear. Axl has all the reasons in the world to be hateful, vindictive, and overall be a villainous person. Instead, however, my man sees the silver linings, cares deeply for everything, and makes do with what he has. He's an optimist through and through, which inspires me to try to do the same. It's impossible to live up to standards set up by a fictional character who is written to shrug off heart-breaking situations with a sad smile; but he represents is still something that people can use as a goal to move towards each day. Just to try to be a little bit more good to everything, a bit more appreciative of where you are, and to enjoy the moment. What an amazing character.

[@Skizzy03]

Yippeeee, more strive content. Love to see it

[@thicboibigsmoke7220]

I remember one of my first games of strive and my friend was Axl and would not STOP command grabbing me with winter mantis. That’s when I started to pick him up and I realised that his zoning alone was insanely fun, now I’m not good at fighting games at all, but I can sometimes best this same friend now as Axl because he just has insane mixups and a “keep the fuck away from me” kinda play style and it is SOOOOO FUN when it works. Side note, if it’s not on a ship or naval vessel, it’s actually called a Union Flag, not Union Jack

[@senatorwilsonphillips8724]

I'm surprised that you didn't bring some parts of Axl's story on his section,like: -Axl meets That Man in one his endings in GGXX and when he asks him about if he's a time traveler he negates that possibility, but introduces Raven, as he's revealed as A FUTURER AXL, and the reason Raven is inmortal and Axl timeslips is because this Axl shouldn't be in this time and space. Axl asks how he ended up like Raven whom replies with an angry tone, but That Man explains Axl doesn't know yet, but in the future he will screw up badly and it'll all be his fault. -Or that after getting timeslip between timelines meeting I-No and Sol again and again until he meets an alternative Axl (which shouldn't happen by the Xrd rules of time travel that say there is only one Axl and I-No) that tells his past self he will meet Megumi again if he doesn't give up. -Or that in his Path 1 on GGXX Accent Core + (probably the last game the franchise could have received and that ended everyone's characters arcs awith what they deeply wished for),if he doesn't give up and actually stands up in all battles, Axl actually COMES BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL TIME , finally getting to see Megumi one last time, but before she can notice him he timeslips again, ending his story with him sheding a tear as he gets absorved by the poral. Or- Why does everyone ignores GGXX and ACC+ beyond surface level? I mean,that's exactly what Daisuke did with a soft reboot,but c'mon.

[@sfyfarthegreatm4540]

i love playing zoners so when i played xxrd for the first time when i raided an anime club in school it was a no brainer to pick him, then after that just played the old guilty gears on my switch just to see him till i got strive on ps4 and was having fun and boping to his theme, then later desided to check his bio and never have i ever felt so much love for a character till then that i now undertood kinning. i loved how optemistic he is dispite all hes been through and his voicelines he doesnt rub it on your face how bad you are or how rigged it was, he would just compliments how you beat em and would beat himself up for how bad he did in that match. spent way to long on this comment just to say thank you for showing the reason to love our king and you gained a sub

[@AnarchoCatBoyEthan]

Okay finished, good work. It’s nice that this helps you, as somebody who didn’t know Axl before this video i like him too now lol. But yeah i understand and think it’s important to take relief and hope or whatever you wanna call it where you can get it.

[@petrarcheleven8816]

Saw the title and instantly knew this was gonna be a good video. Axl isn't my main in Strive, or any Guilty Gear game. But he is my favorite character because he's just that damn good of a person.

There's a reason why my strive tag is "#1RemiCelesteFan" My Axl loyalty will never die, he's my favourite fighting game character ever for so many reasons you pointed out

So I gotta say, as a fellow Axl enjoyer, this is an amazing video. Well written, funny, and just a blast to watch. Keep up the good work. Admittedly, I'm a bit surprised that you didn't mention that The Original is Happy Chaos, so in both Xrd and Strive, HC was talking to him.

[@theygrey]

I'm in my 30s, Axl has been my main in every iteration of my favorite fighting game series for over half my life. I've cosplayed multiple outfits of his. He's one of my top 5 favorite characters in media. He's effected how I grew up and who I've grown to be. This video brought a tear to my eye at the end. I'm glad a character so important to me has helped you. Thank you for this video.

[@SohanSmol]

I want to add one more entry for reasons to like Axl here. I have never played him and I don't intend to since I love being in melee range at all times but whenever I'm playing against an Axl his voice lines put me in a good mood even when I'm losing. The dude is having the time of his life, every time he uses a special there is so much cheer coming out of him and even if he is my enemy, that happiness is fucking contagious. I just love his voice lines man. (Also I play with japanese voice dunno if english has the same vibes but probably yes)

[@Juno4Uno]

When I was getting into Guilty Gear lore.I thought Axl was kinda lame until I watched the Xrd story mode and watching him sacrifice his chance to go back to his original timeline to help Sol and I thought damn,Axl might be that guy and he is,he is that guy.

[@darienb1127]

I love seeing videos like this because it shows just how great the entire cast is. Most other fighting games have a few main characters who are very important and then some side character who might be cool, but don't have much relevance. Guilty Gear makes sure to give every character at least a little time in the spotlight. Even the least important playable characters are given fully fleshed out backstories, personalites, and arcs. They went the extra mile to make these guys feel special and it really pays off. Also, never feel like it's "cringe" to relate to a fictional character regardless where they are from. A writer's job is to make something that can resonate with people on an emotional level. Being able to resonate with a character so strongly just means that the writer did their job well!

[@justjames9049]

Haven't really player Guilty Gear ever, but I'd say this video was really fun to watch. Intro really pulled me in, the story got me invested and the editing was great as well. Keep it up, these types of videos are great Grey 👍

As a person who tends to think of the world through a pessimistic lense, its characters like this that really help me aswell (for me its been superman). When someone who has godlike abilities and comes from a completely different reality chooses to believe in the good of humanity for no other reason than they think its the right thing to do, I can say that it really helps me with my perception of the world. I think that more brooding characters that experience and feel the pain of living and interacting with malicious or insidious people are interesting, compelling and relatable; but I think that characters that believe in an intrinsic good in humanity are also amazing and should be more common. It says a lot when people say that an alien that can shoot lasers from its eyes and use planets as ping pong balls isn't relatable or properly written just because he believes in the good of humanity. Anyway, thanks for making this video, I really like it and will now be binging all of ur vids cuz they are cool :)
