  • Daisuke Ishiwatari is the creator of Guilty Gear, but not many people know much about Daisuke himself so hopefully this video provides insight into the man who makes one of my favourite games. 6 likes and i'll do a EXECTOR longplay xD

    Man... Daisuke is the definition of theat Thanos meme: "Fine. I'll do it myself."
    He didn't found the fighting game he wanted to play, and ended creating a whole franchise for himself.
    Thank you a million times Daisuke.

      It's the reason I was pulled into GG, by the time I found about GGXX I was a fan of about half the bands the game referenced. That and how it approached a story mode as a fighting game, which was innovative at the time.

    I always thought that Daisuke Ishiwatari and Hirohiko Araki could be friends due to their love for western music and making a cool series to flex their playlists. Now I know another thing these two have in common:
    They *REALLY* mastered the art of not aging physically.

    I met Daisuke by accident at EVO in 2019. The day before Strive's announcement. With venom translator help. I expressed my sincere gratitude for the series. He was so incredibly nice and joyful to meet me. A random fan
    In retrospect its funny my outfit was Nago's colors coincidentally. And he was announced next day. Perhaps he noticed I was the exact demographic he designed him for irl 🤣 1:1

    Without even knowing such a genius behind the scenes I immediately fell in love with GG strive couple months ago… Despite the satisfying control, beautiful art and music, unique RC and wall break mechanics, some of the character designs are really innovating. Like Johnny, he’s a cowboy, a pirate, a gambler, and a samurai all at the same time NATURALLY.

    Wallbreaks are not a staple of the franchise. IKs, RCs, and the metal aesthetic were what made GG standout. It used to be a very free-form and chaotic series that allowed for player expression, something severely lacking in Strive. As much as I dislike the current direction Daisuke and Katano have taken Guilty Gear in, I really do appreciate all the work the man and his team have put into the series over the years.

    • @000wolf
      @000wolf 5 місяців тому +1

      Gatlings/magic series are gone in favor of more linear/restrictive routes. Returning characters are missing a lot of their kit from previous games, with some even playing nothing like their older iterations. Hell, some characters still have legacy restrictions on them but lack the proper tools or means to make up for it. The movement is a lot slower and most of the balance revolves around moves being less negative instead of positive. Instant Kills were removed entirely. Wallsplat/break does the opposite of its intended purpose and is just a poorly implemented mechanic. I don't know how things are currently, but the high damage made the game extremely volatile. Outside of a few tracks the music is a huge step down. Also, the lobby system is pretty bad and ranked matchmaking is kind of busted.
      I did like the changes to the RC system and the create-a-combo trial feature, but outside of those two things, Strive feels extremely lacking when compared to Xrd and XX.
      This is all from the perspective of an oldhead however, so please don't let that discourage you from playing and enjoying the game.
