The Missing Link: I summon the Destroyer of Worlds to punish humanity for their sins against itself! X-AC: I'm an abomination. A mistake forged by man's huburis. I don't deserve to exist. Strive: I say, what a simply fabulous day for a walk! Gonna love character development.
X: I promised this poor, desperate girl that I would never let those who seek her death bring harm upon her. All who want to kill her must first defeat me.
If I remember correctly, the reason why it's only the top layer is because that's the only piece of clothing he's been wearing ever since he became a gear. It's severely disintegrated after being on him for like 60 years and a whole war.
One of the reasons why I loved GGX2 was discovering over time how many different character's outfits were just their own take on the holy order uniform - and generally still look fairly distinctive and unique.
This game’s soundtrack is easily one of my favorites in gaming. Honestly every song from this game is godly. I’ve only been a GG fan since 2019 but the songs are such bangers that I loved them the instant I heard them.
I never really played him as a kid, but I loved his voice, his design and mannerism. Now that I’m old and I don’t suck at GG it sucks to not see him. I understand cannon wise, why but he deserves to just be put in the game.
No more tree/web/Badlands vortexes, and fair enough (even as someone who mained him from #R to AC+). Instead we get a kit of brutal midrange zoning and mix up.
Actually, bealieve it or not, his getup is not weird at all to the game's setup, that's just a Holy Orders uniform, like the one Ky, Order Sol and Kliff wears. It only cover this little skin because it's war-torn and old. Altough, I'm not sure if it became black from being old or if it was always black, since there are many color variants for the uniform.
@@truegraham6780 Er I don't think he looks "weird" because he's wearing black (look at my channel, I love Black), it's just more of how his outfit looks (which I do like btw) haha.
This version is a lot better than X's version. More music does not mean better quality. With Awe of She, the original is better, but the same is not true of Bloodstained Lineage.
As far as I understand, he's a 'water mage' who prefers to manipulate blood instead. His blade is made of blood that he can transform into different shapes, he makes webs out of blood, and he can turn himself into a puddle of blood.
i’m glad “200% more” implies that they had thighs and gender confusion in some sense in the first place, which is sensible since i actually thought testament was a chick when i looked at previews for the game in magazines before actually picking up GGXX way back in the day. then i was surprised to learn they were a dude when i actually played it, and then it turned out later that they absolutely weren’t.
He reminds me of Jedah because he's got that grim reaper feel to him and had that sacrifice ordeal... Difference between the two was that Jedah died a Messiah and Testament became a baby sitter after sacrificing himself... it's a little sad...
No, actually Sol did almost everything on his own. Even back in the day when he's still Order Sol, he still did everything on his own power. Taking the Fire Seal is also his doing but had to "Greet" Ky before leaving. Sol is more of a Rachel or Jubei actually. Also, remember that Sol is also a scientist so he's pretty knowledgeable and didn't give you the vibe of "You are the chosen one" BS.
i like the new testament look but I really wanted a testament skin with this classic outfit. it's something more gothic and would also look great on his new look 👀
ALl the comments making fun of or asking about Testaments gender, know this- Testament is suppose to be a representation of death, death is genderless.
Man looks like the missing member of Cradle of Filth and is named after a fine thrash metal band and his theme sounds like exactly those two bands combined.
As much as I freakin' love Testament, when I first heard his voice in GuiltyGearX it was such a let-down because his creepy voice in the first game was AWESOME!
I like how this can both refer to his appearance and fighting style in equal measure. Playing against a decent Testament player would be hell for moving into his traps everywhere.
@CrimsonZanpakuto You're right! And not just mental help either it seems. Zappa needs an Exorsist, Bridget needs a male role model (lol), and Bang needs a serious reality check! It's nice that the game designers made each character have their special traits and issues.
@1hitgamer I actually did know that. It's just that even when he was attending the Academy he was still a jerk to most people around him, just not as much. At the time of the actual game, all flashbacks aside, he is just full blown insane mentally and personality wise. How could you treat someone who was instructed to assist you under your position so badly? Especially if it's Noel. It's probably the Bang Shishigami influence, but who would be so cruel to someone like Noel? Come on!!
The Glam Reaper.
Splendid comment.

#TestamentforStrive
Yes bro. Yes. We are getting anji. Testament for last character would make us shit our pants
I know that last character is gonna be a huge suprise bro. Lets cross our fingers
....he could still be dlc!
I hope its kliff actually
he appeared on the credits tho, might come for season 2 or something
I just noticed that's the holy orders uniform but like just the top layer
Yea Testament was part of the Holy Orders prior to becoming a Gear
If I remember correctly, the reason why it's only the top layer is because that's the only piece of clothing he's been wearing ever since he became a gear. It's severely disintegrated after being on him for like 60 years and a whole war.
Oh. My. GOD!!!

@@totalsaikou4520 damn, i would not want to smell that shit
Testament is in, that means this godly song is going to be in strive 🙏
Well, ti some degree
From what I heard, their new theme does have a call back to this song.
@@SyxxPunk it better
@@perrypougins379 What I meant to say, I listened to the new song itself.
This song is referenced in it rather blatantly.
Also their new theme that sounds like freaking Dave Mustaine singing

I got good news for you.
Rejoice, brother.
I hope you're happy, man :)
Your wish has been granted.
@Noel T. Lat the japanese voice also goes hard.
Wow, it's so heartwarming to see people come back to this video and leave comments after seeing Testament's release in Strive
I can't describe how great 2:25 ~ 2:49 sounds. It's truly... Well, can't find words for it.
If you think that part is good I hope you heard the GGX version of this song
@@ENFIKEFEPOKETC Pretty godly, indeed.
@@uandresbrito5685 Glad you liked it. Back when Testament was a final boss and not a regular roster slot his music was incredible.
@@reloadpsi It didn't really get worse tbh, I think Dizzy's theme suffered a lot more.
Testament fighting style is great against people that
"go all out" and forget about defense.
His traps are so good.
it is true for it is written
"Real men have long womany hair"
@@nissanv1663 welcome... to a true man's world
So it is written
-V
I like the way Testament walks forward, its so metal! \m/
And all metals must must MUST look like him!!!! Long hair is a must for metals!
testament came back gayer as before
You mean "than" instead of "as", right?
Testament made it to GGST, boys. Enjoy inflicting PTSD on all the newcomers/veterans again!
The tears will be delicious.
pretty sure they gonna remove all toolkits testament has ;-;
@@DollRyougi Testament's commands have been completely reworked from what I've seen, but they're still punishin'.
No more tree/web/Badlands vortexes, and fair enough (even as someone who mained him from #R to AC+). Instead we get a kit of brutal midrange zoning and mix up.
I don't think he will be anything like he was as an opponent without invisible traps and shit.
Hates Humanity,Protects the to Preserve Nature...0_0...OH MY GOD HE'S ANDROID 17!!!!
17 doesn't really hate humanity.
Super 17 does
I thought I was the only one who tho he looked like him to 😆
Dudes voice even sounds like a mech
Testament was a sexy piece of man-pixels I thought lol I liked his getup even if it's totally weird lol I'm hoping he comes back as DLC for the Xrd :)
Actually, bealieve it or not, his getup is not weird at all to the game's setup, that's just a Holy Orders uniform, like the one Ky, Order Sol and Kliff wears.

Hell ya talk about a goth husbando

Ah yes. The song that singlehandedly almost caused me permanent hearing loss in highschool.
We meet again.

Meet Again? From guilty gear XX!?
I feel you fam.
it's a man
a very.....sexy, sexy man.
Stupid Sexy Testament.
Well not a man anymore. They’re confirmed to be non binary
That moment when you go missing for a decade and then return non binary.
The funny thing is that Testament was nonbinary from the start. Had a female and male voice in GG1.
Can't return to something you already are
@@AdachiCabbageand then went to language exclusive voices where JP has more feminine and ENG has more masculine.
@@matthewtwitter5172the English VA in Strive is actually a trans woman!
@@ahnixcreations i know that information, idk why i didn't mentioned it? I guess i didn't know to just describe the voice of the english CV
Oh boy, what a good time to hear this banger
The Vanilla Ice of Guilty Gear.
この曲マジでかっこよすぎる!!
After listening to Testament the band, i realize there are no simiarities in the song to any song made by the band.
I always thought it sounded like the first riff of rising force by mamlsteem
Welcome back, Testament. It been far too long.
I never realized how bluesy that bass is.
Probably because the bass takes a backseat in this song
I hoping to see Testament in the new Guilty Gear games. Too bad they couldn't add him in XRD, Revelator, or Revelator 2.
At least he made it to Strive now!
@@rann809 Uhh... As who?
@@SuperDragonBlader Check the latest character reveal.
This version is a lot better than X's version. More music does not mean better quality. With Awe of She, the original is better, but the same is not true of Bloodstained Lineage.
It's a guy not a chick
@@ladybug8495 Awe of She is Dizzy's theme.
Actually the X version is only worse because of it's sound quality
This one's got some grunt to it, I like it
As far as I understand, he's a 'water mage' who prefers to manipulate blood instead. His blade is made of blood that he can transform into different shapes, he makes webs out of blood, and he can turn himself into a puddle of blood.
Imagine being able to make the power of water badass
If you knew how to take advantage of Testament's dusts...you were unstoppable and became a major source of frustration to your opponents.
Got my boy Anji back, now give us Testament back as well please! Would love to see him in awesome Strive graphics.
no
@@saltyluigi4011 Why not? Got owned by him too much?
@@Yoh2704 yes
would he be skinny as always, or buffed like most of the male cast?
i’d say his chances of returning at good seeing as he makes a cameo in the ending of the story mode
WELCOME BACK TESTAMENT
I can’t wait to take over the entire screen again.
hell yeah baby they're fuckin' BACK
You mean HE’s fuckin’ BACK
@@MattDeRac I definitely said THEY are back for a reason
@@MattDeRac I think male pronouns is the last thing I'd use for Testament in strive lmfao hochi mama.
The first time i saw him i thought he was the final boss
Same
He was sub boss in first GG
TESTAMENT FOR GUILTY GEAR 2020
Nope
Or maybe
Testament is here
TESTAMENT FOR GUILTY GEAR 2022
As of now this song has 666 views how fitting
this is a fantastic theme, it seriously reminds me of Moi Dix Mois.
I still want him to have a happy ending. Been waiting since the GGXX days. Also, bring him into Strive.
Blessed day.
It's a good day to see people wish for Testament for Strive
Not the same but still they’re in
GOD I MISS THEIR OLD DESIGN SO MUCH 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
Yooo, he's back at Strive!
Welcome back, Testament
He reminds me of ukyo tachibana from Samurai Showdown 3 he always has the ladies chasing him when he runs off screen every time he wins a duel
have you noticed testament's feet position?
Bloodstained lineage. I can so relate.
thanks for uploading these and providing the links. Imma enjoy GG while i lift now
I have a question.... which foot belongs to which leg??? I've been wondering about this question for years now!
Lex Mats I have no idea man all I know is he's crossing his legs
I got it! the one in front it's his left foot and the one in back is his right! 😃
Dan Gonzalez I think your right
kinda of poor design to make him stand like that.it kinda looks like he has to use the bathroom.lol
HYPE!!
The return is here.
Now with 200% more thighs and gender questioning/confusion.
i’m glad “200% more” implies that they had thighs and gender confusion in some sense in the first place, which is sensible since i actually thought testament was a chick when i looked at previews for the game in magazines before actually picking up GGXX way back in the day. then i was surprised to learn they were a dude when i actually played it, and then it turned out later that they absolutely weren’t.
@@sunwiitch Who needs HRT when you have gear cells

He reminds me of Jedah because he's got that grim reaper feel to him and had that sacrifice ordeal...

Me and the boys coming back after the Strive announcement.
No, actually Sol did almost everything on his own. Even back in the day when he's still Order Sol, he still did everything on his own power.

HE CAME HOME
Let's GOOOOOO Testament in STRIVE
キーボードが奇跡の絡みを見せつつハードな疾走感。何もかもが素晴らしい!
Bring. Back. Testament!!!! The sexiest reaper!
Certainly got some people flustered with their return.
i like the new testament look
but I really wanted a testament skin with this classic outfit.
it's something more gothic and would also look great on his new look
👀
they got into the estrogen now their unstoppable
My favorite track alongside slayer’s and aba’s
He lives again!!!
@bja808 This is why Darkstalkers vs. Guilty Gear needs to happen. That, and the other epic matchups. And I truly mean epic.
前作のと比べて『イントロ』がカットされ、ほとんどメロディーが簡略化されてるが、最初に『X』のあのイントロ部分を聴いた時メチャクチャ怖かった……☆
WE BACK
He stands the way ballet dancers do

I love this song so much, even if I prefer the X version. It makes them sound like a boss character.
Is that the grim reaper 😱
I really miss the Glockenspiel intro from the initial version of this song.
Man looks like the missing member of Cradle of Filth and is named after a fine thrash metal band and his theme sounds like exactly those two bands combined.
fitting for a ghost train.
As much as I freakin' love Testament, when I first heard his voice in GuiltyGearX it was such a let-down because his creepy voice in the first game was AWESOME!
THEY'RE BACK AND THEY TRADED AWAY THE SETUP TOOLS FOR ESTROGEN
that drummer!
testament used trap it was very effective
I like how this can both refer to his appearance and fighting style in equal measure.
Playing against a decent Testament player would be hell for moving into his traps everywhere.
how THE FUCK can anyone mistake Testament for a woman? He has a man's voice lines for god's sake!
Thank you very Much!!!
NOSTROVIA
He's back
THIS GUY IS BROKEN BEYOND ALL REASONS
Imagine playing the drums to this on guitar hero.
Did you know that the ones that turned Testament into a gear were the same ones that created Robo-Ky (Post-War Administration Bureau)?
After the new class on ff xiv i gonna use his theme
CONGRATS ON THE THEY/THEM'ING
nonbinary gearussy got me acting unwise
THey/THem/THighs
Ew
@@scottbellotti9530 ?
You say this like it's a new development, Testament's always been about being androgynous
Finally, after fishing up useless avatar customisation items, I got this in Strive
This theme was literally the only reason i started playing testament, Now i bully my friends with a Big fucking scythe
It is!
TESTAMENT IS BACK BITCHES
Guess who the one who enter Strive?
As someone coming from strive, god damn I did not expect this to go so hard
