The main thing I notice is that in STRIVE, Paracelsus is way more keyed into what ABA is doing and what’s happening to her. He used to just disassociate and not really care except if she’s giving him a blood pack; now his eyes track her attacks, gets angry at the enemy if she takes an unblocked hit, gets annoyed if she starts swinging on him too long when she crouch idles so he flexes to pull her back up on him, reacts to pretty much everything etc. At 1:25, where ABA used to do her round win animation alone, Paracelsus now joins in with her and laughs with her when she ends it with a joke! He’s basically acting like an actual partner to her now!
The new Aba Paracelsus looks significantly better and far far more terrifying. She is a hard to learn character but completely unstoppable once you mastered her move, she is a all or nothing fighter.
I love the dynamic relationship between A.B.A and Paracelcus. Yall stop saying "I can fix her", Paracelcus already fixed her!! E1: Oh wow I didn't expect that much of likes, thanks ^^
Did he though? She's still an obsessed and reclusive maniac who doesn't even have the sense of mind to listen to the only person she supposedly "loves".
I had to go back to see what you were talking about. Why does it actually look like them though LMFAO😭 But jokes aside, I feel like it's either a reference to them or it's just a coincidence.
Old Aba makes me want to protect her and give her a hug. New Aba makes me feel scared of getting too close, but still wanting to help. I may have a problem.
A.B.A.’s a homunculus with copper for hair and mercury for blood that woke up in her creator’s abandoned laboratory. In her isolation she developed a love for keys and collected them. She came across a sentient magical battle axe called Flament Nagel, a weapon used in a war of humans vs gears called the crusades. Flament Nagel changed his appearance to that of a key so as to persuade A.B.A. to pick him up, and she fell in love with him and is psychotically possessive of him, renaming him Paracelsus and claiming him as her husband in a one-sided love affair. His plan failed entirely and he was now basically at her whim. In Strive, Paracelsus has now grown fond of A.B.A. and with the help of a gear called Testament, they break through A.B.A. fear-of-rejection fuelled possessiveness of him to show her he cares for her in turn and she mellows out somewhat (this is relative to A.B.A. she’s still nuts compared to most other characters)
if you talkin bout Aba goin ape with Paracelcus, then I'd like to point tout how that might be The Key's original form before he met Aba he transforms based on her emotions and desires, and since she sees Keys as representations of happiness and freedom Paracelcus takes that form but when her Jealousy gets the better of her he starts to melt and revert to his Original form with the transformation completing in "Key is King"
what is she muttering in her intro scene? it's so quiet i can never understand. Is there a reason they don't animate the mouth movements in the victory scenes? It would probably look a lot better than the 2 frame flapping lips.
@@kappachino335considering it is guilty gear where most characters are attractive it is kinda standard ofc there are outliers, but most gg chars have blown out proportions
kinda don't understand the green hair choice, the hair style change is fine but the color is a bit odd. Also, in prior games, she looked more like a zombie but in Strive, she doesn't have that vibe at all, just my 2 cents. She is a great character overall in terms of design and lore.

This is more like the devolution. They couldn't even get her hair right! Did they go out of their way to make unnecessary changes, or was the artist just colorblind?!

Before you guys say "would," just know that she already has a husband.
She's a smitten psycho, and he is a depressed literal KEY, and yet we all know they are relationship goals.
This will be interesting
Why they caked up every girl in strive 🤨 what aba’s been eatin i mean the boys also looks like they ate a lot of bread so thats balance
nah fr because she’s supposed to be pretty much underweight
How do you do 1:01 for xbox?? Im so lost -

Have to incentivize him somehow

For Judgement he’s exclusive to the psp Judgement.
