Imagine a Pot Main somehow voicing a character like Axl instead… Realtalk, though, as someone who just recently got through the Dub of the Main Story, you did a real good job! It’s super cool you got to become an actual official voice in the game!
Shit, last time I consumed Octopimp conrent was during the age of Homestuck and now he's voicing a character in a game I'm trying to dive head-first into. If I ever get Strive, def trying Axl out.
@@NekoAdam I remember consuming a lot of his dubs and 50% off and then literally screaming about the fact he voices Axl thanks to friends introducing me to Guilty Gear
13:18 It's really great to see Octo get this part especially if youv've been following him for a while. Well deserved and you killed it. also props to the editor for that bit in the outro
So here’s the thing. I’ve secretly known about Guilty Gear for the last couple of years and wanted to get into the series cause of all of the big names I kept hearing when it came to the voices and in turn became a fan of Arc System Works cause of the sprite animations even. I’m honestly been more into Persona 4 Arena and slight Blazblue. But now knowing that YOU of all actors is FINALLY in a Fighting game, let alone a Guilty Gear game puts a big smile on my face! Congratulations Alex, I’m very happy for you! And honestly, thank you for the VA info regarding the classes cause I will definitely follow up on that lead!
I wish this video ended with a clip of Octo seeing himself in the credits at the end of story mode. That scene was absolutely precious and I'm glad I got the chance to see it live.
I was just watching STRIVE’s story (in Japanese) and thought, “Oh man, I wonder how Alex is doing on GG..” only to find out you REALLY made it! Dude, I’m so happy for you!!
Congrats Octo! You've been working hard for a long time and I'm so glad to see it pay off for you! I hope this is the start of something new and wonderful for you
Didn't know you did the voice for Axl Low! i love his character in strive and especially in the story mode. i think my favorite voice line would have to be when he gets heavenly potemkin bustered and yells "Forgiveness is divine right?". you did such a fantastic job!
I've always loved your explanations of your voices, and really taking off the mask and talking about what you love to do. I started hearing about you occasionally tearing WoolieVS a new one in fighting games a few years back, and it's super great to hear that you were able to be a part of what you love!
Man, was just thinking the other day after realizing the grappler main voices a zoner, and when I check to see if you made a video it was made just today. Personally casually seen you around places over the years, the voice is absolutely silly but it's probably one of my favorites in the dub lol. Congrats on the role.
from tumblr dubs to full-on video games. it's been a hell of a ride. lil sad there wasn't a clip of you reacting to seeing your name in the credits. just thinking about that moment really gets me every time. Cheers, Octo! and here's to more roles in the future!
DUDE congrats! It's so cool you got to play one of your favorite characters! I'm actually doing a job interview for something that involves a lot of performance in a couple of hours and I'm really nervous about it, so hearing how nervous you were about your own audition actually helped calm me down, haha.
Funny enough I was actually introduced to your streaming work by your role as Axl in GG Strive, you’re an absolutely perfect fit for the part! The airy lighthearted delivery, the over the top accent, the sense of fun and comedy, you absolutely nailed it and I’m so dang proud to see where you got started! I’ll be sure to keep a close eye on your streaming content especially since buddy you are straight up hilarious!
I love fighting games but I'm bad cuz I can't get anyone to play with, but now that the Online's good I've been considering getting Strive. Now I really want to get it just to honor your good work, my dude. You rock
Axl is my favorite character to play with in Guilty Gear. I'm still new to the series but I picked him up and it just felt natural. You are living the dream my dude! Rock on and thanks for voicing my favorite character! Much love my guy!
It's funny how things turn out because your Potemkin video on this channel was my introduction to guilty gear. Ever since then I was curious about it and finally got into it thanks to strive. And now I really want to play Axl since you're voicing him! So thanks for lighting the spark
From watching you in the old days, and seeing this just now, I am beyond happy for you my guy. Can't wait to see what else you got in store for us in the future.
I want to say that your performance was the reason I picked up Axl. I love his goofy accent and carefree attitude so damn much, thank you for bringing this character to life!
Great performance man really happy for you. I'm a brand new Axl main in strive and I love what you did for him! That funny "Heavy Bugger!" line you did for his throw is def my favourite. Thanks a lot!
As a fellow GG super fan AND a huge fan of you, it's fuckin BEYOND sick you're voicing axl and when I saw you announce it on twitter I was hard considering playing him despite not liking his gameplay in previous games lmao congrats tho dude it's mad obvious this a role you super wanted.
This might be the first time I've ever seen you, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud of you man. It's so cool that you got the role, and you did a great job at it! I wish you luck in any of your future endeavors!
I know nothing about GG except for how amazing the character designs are and really liked Axl and what I assumed his personality was like and welp I guess I have more of a reason to like him. So cool 😳.
holy shit i heard the line "rensengeki" in game while i was fighting an axl and i was like "wait did they keep that name in the english dub tooo??" and to hear its cuz a true gg fan voiced him and knew his moves thats super pog
Holy shit Octo, I didn't realize that's what you looked like. After hearing you do the narrations on Jesse cox's monster prom play throughs I didn't realize you had a channel
NO FUCKING WAY, WHY ARE YOU CONNECTING TO MORE PARTS OF MY LIFE I already have your voice living rent free in my mind. SEVERAL OF YOUR VOICES. But You know what I accept my new prison.
Obnoxious gameplan, British, voiced by octopimp. now my opinion of axel isn't all negative, just mostly negative. Thank you for making my time with this character that much more bearable.
Dude that's awesome! Big ups in you getting the gig Octo! PS- Feels like they toned your voice down a smidge or made it bassier? Which doesn't steal away from the lines either way! Maybe it's just a "clarity thing", I am not a sound engineer of any sort.
Octo! Just found your channel. Congrats by the way! Axl is my main, and it's so nice to see that the voice behind the character is such a nice and charismatic guy. Do you have any tips for someone who wants to get on the voice over industry?
I've been wanting to try and get into professional voice acting for some years now, but don't really know where and how to start. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do to get my foot into the door? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Title of this video should be: How a Potempkin main voices his worst enemy
He's like batman, really, if you think about it
@@SinisterGrapefruit Batpimp
Axl and I-NO's VA's being in the same class? Ok, how perfect is that?
Too perfect tbh.
Imagine a Pot Main somehow voicing a character like Axl instead…
Realtalk, though, as someone who just recently got through the Dub of the Main Story, you did a real good job! It’s super cool you got to become an actual official voice in the game!
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS GAME BUT IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU I COULD CRY
Thank you! Honestly I did cry when I found out.
Go play the game, it's very good
RIGHT??? so proud of that octopus
Play Guilty Gear.
If you're curious, his character is a time traveling madlad with the powers of a god that he doesn't fully control.
Shit, last time I consumed Octopimp conrent was during the age of Homestuck and now he's voicing a character in a game I'm trying to dive head-first into. If I ever get Strive, def trying Axl out.
You mean you completely missed 50% OFF?
It probably happened while I was still disinterested. My ArcSys kick is REALLY recent.
That and, in all honesty, I wanna get Xrd first anyways.
So funny thing is I'm just discovering him BECAUSE he's Axl (I am an Axl main ^•^)
@@NekoAdam I remember consuming a lot of his dubs and 50% off and then literally screaming about the fact he voices Axl thanks to friends introducing me to Guilty Gear

SPOILER WARNING FOR GG STRIVES STORY MODE
"I couldn't get anything out but tears"
You almost made me fuckin cry with that line
I wish this video ended with a clip of Octo seeing himself in the credits at the end of story mode. That scene was absolutely precious and I'm glad I got the chance to see it live.
Dude you nailed the voice throughout the game, you nailed it in the campaign, super cool you got all this great work!
So YOU'RE the guy that voices my main. Hell yeah, man. Killed it.
Boy, you nailed the "That was too easy" ending line
I was just watching STRIVE’s story (in Japanese) and thought, “Oh man, I wonder how Alex is doing on GG..” only to find out you REALLY made it! Dude, I’m so happy for you!!

Man, Octo moving up in the world! From a Free! Abridged series to now being Axl Low in actual Guilty Gear! Congrats!
DUDE congrats! It's so cool you got to play one of your favorite characters!
I'm actually doing a job interview for something that involves a lot of performance in a couple of hours and I'm really nervous about it, so hearing how nervous you were about your own audition actually helped calm me down, haha.
Watched the story mode, and your performance there was standout as well. You nailed a ton of his more important moments.
its like seeing someone you went to highschool with on tv. im so happy for you and this is only the beginning of the beginning for you : )

Bro I don’t care about how people think about the character, you doing his voice is amazing, keep it up
Amazing. Playing with the dub for now. You did an amazing job on Axl, always loved him on while screen.
This might be the first time I've ever seen you, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud of you man. It's so cool that you got the role, and you did a great job at it! I wish you luck in any of your future endeavors!
I wanna hear Octo do the Spongebob speedster bit in Axl's voice.
this is so incredible, it sounds like a dream come true
Ah yes, the two British icons: Idris Elba and Sam Strippin.
This is so wholesome, I love how happy he is about it.
I play in JP but I have fun listening to you in English every now and then. I like Axl's bri'ish a lot
I know nothing about GG except for how amazing the character designs are and really liked Axl and what I assumed his personality was like and welp I guess I have more of a reason to like him. So cool 😳.
I want to be able to play this game with only Axl’s English voice
How exciting, proud of you Octo~
HOLY CRAP I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS YOU! CONGRATS DUUUUUUDE!
holy shit i heard the line "rensengeki" in game while i was fighting an axl and i was like "wait did they keep that name in the english dub tooo??" and to hear its cuz a true gg fan voiced him and knew his moves thats super pog

NO FUCKING WAY, WHY ARE YOU CONNECTING TO MORE PARTS OF MY LIFE
I already have your voice living rent free in my mind. SEVERAL OF YOUR VOICES. But You know what I accept my new prison.
Proud of you bro!!
10:15 ooo that's a meme by yggdrsyl, they have a lot of great pics on their twitter
I really felt like I recognize the voice, now I know why xD
Obnoxious gameplan, British, voiced by octopimp.
now my opinion of axel isn't all negative, just mostly negative.
Thank you for making my time with this character that much more bearable.
Axl's VA IS FROM THE US? MY LIFE IS A BLOODY LIE. LOVE YOUR WORK
Your character and Leo are the only dub voices I like lol. Wish I could turn his dub on only
Ohmygod i havmt watched you since your comic dub days
I’m soo proud of you alex ( o̴̶̷᷄ ∪ o̴̶̷᷅ ) ♡
Im so happy for you!
It's a real good game.
I'm so proud.
I turn the English dub on for this reason.
I Am Axl In Guilty Gear Strive
Congrats!!!
Any advice on how to keep an eye out for those classes opening up? Just check the website often?
Next you're gonna tell me the Taka and Lani are gonna be in teh next Fire Emblem
Ok so when's the new gg mod, oops all octo where octo voices over every character in guilty gear?
Dude that's awesome! Big ups in you getting the gig Octo!
PS- Feels like they toned your voice down a smidge or made it bassier? Which doesn't steal away from the lines either way! Maybe it's just a "clarity thing", I am not a sound engineer of any sort.
Octo! Just found your channel. Congrats by the way! Axl is my main, and it's so nice to see that the voice behind the character is such a nice and charismatic guy.
Do you have any tips for someone who wants to get on the voice over industry?
Dude voices my favorite character in Gear and tells me he use to be an Arakune main. LMAO
Ok now hang on a second I played arakune for like....2 weeks, that barely counts!
that character has cheeky nandos vibes LOL
I've been wanting to try and get into professional voice acting for some years now, but don't really know where and how to start. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do to get my foot into the door?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
