Been thinking about this for a while and thought it would make a fun little video. Little aspects and bits of lore about FG characters that are not exactly fully common, and some that give a real fun side look at the characters themselves. Vice was always the original main idea of the video because American Comics is her officially listed hobby, and how exactly does that reconcile with vicious death cultist looking to destroy the human race? Makes more sense if you think all she reads is Spawn and Carnage comics! So give the vid a watch and let me know what you think, oh and drop a like and all that!
I always interpreted Gief not liking "beautiful women" as him not liking women who are traditionally considered beautiful. Gief is on that muscle_girl tag.
Was gonna say, it wouldn't make sense for Gief not to like pretty women when he's got such a good relationship with R. Mika, so I think you're on to something.
The Kratos one came to light in the last few days and I think thats just extra funny honestly. Also for being a nominally single player game character, dude has a LOT of fighting game appearances under his belt!
There's a feature in the Wii U version of Tekken Tag 2 where you can gift currency to each character in exchange for prizes, and occasionally they'll comment on what the money will be used for. Their responses have really fun bits of lore - apparently Doctor Bosconovitch wants to cure hereditary baldness, Feng Wei collects teacups, and Bruce Irvin raises chickens in his spare time.
yeah. funny enough,she actually has a deep hatred for humanity and covers her eyes because she has a fixed glare of resentment towards people(atleast that is what was described) yet she is very sociable,cheery and friendly towards everyone,runs her own fashion business and is in a band lol,only to later reveal that she is part of a cult that is hellbent on sacrificing themselves to summon a god created by the will of the earth. SNK is creative that is for sure lmao
@@Dhampire1976 basically if she succeeds, she's practically out of work. For all her hatred of humanity, she has some rather sociable hobbies. Their Orochi ending sounded like she kind of regretted it after they won. No more gigs, clothes to make for people or tournaments, so she kind of defeated herself poetically speaking.
A lot of story characters came across as dissapointing, but Tremor was protected from Story Mode Syndrome by not being in it. I liked that he liked the Johnny Cage movies, that he hits on Kitana, and that he has a beef with Kano. Then there's his brutality where he turns you to stone, sits down to relax, then casually blasts you into a skeleton as an afterthought. He's still my favorite "Ninja" by a mile.
in terms of fleshing out character lives,no one has done it better than snk imo. From the words of Thorg's arcade,You can name a hobby that each KOF character has,where they like to hangout,all that sort of stuff,but you can't really say the same for the Mortal Kombat or even a ton of street fighter characters. I think it is the fact that for every other ending that isn't canon,it's usually just the characters hanging out in their own daily lives,doing their own thing. It is a small thing sure,but it greatly builds the world and actually makes it feel that the characters are living in a world that is actually lived in,and aren't just there to fight and thats it. The only other fighting game that i've seen that really does this is tekken,but even then it's usually just random nonesense or funny moments more than anything.
oh and if you are checking the comments here, a few seconds ago got announced looks like we are getting our next bit of Guilty Gear Strive info(FINALLY) on November the 21st via IGN, so look forward to that!
Fun fact: in GG rev 2, when Jhonny use his treasure hunter super, where he steals something important of the opponent, from Sol he steals a Queen álbum, the one which has "Keep Yourself Alive"
I say Luke is more of a chilled dude and rarely have anger issues like E1itedeath or Pchooly. Well maybe a bit of Pchooly, if he gets angry he'll just go and hit a punching bag or something lol.
The Nina and Anna rivalry is deff on point especially in Death by Degrees where you really get to see Nina and Anna at their best..Namco needs to do a sequel or reboot 😢
Heihachi Mishima has a really interesting hobby as well. He loves to take his family members, strap them to a rocket, and laugh maniacally as they're blasted into space.
Something to mention about PSABR being canon to GoW is that Kratos's appearance in Shovel Knight is also canon. This means Shovel Knight canonically beat GoW3 Kratos in a fight.
KOF bosses have some funny ones O. Zero's hobby is to raise children Krizalid loves to clone celebrities Igniz it's afraid of UFOS Mukai Loves "Good food" and hates "bad food"
That's an amazing video concept ! I never really had the time to go deeper into my favorite fighting games stories, so I have a lot of questions, and you have the answers !
He seems like a dude that got sucked into the alt-right through gamer gate and now frames all his bigoted views in the form of questions so he can hide behind "I'm just asking questions".
The canon Kratos crossovers gets even more fun when you learn that according to the God of War staff, his secret boss appearance, and subsequent loss, with Shovel Knight are canon
I love SNK because they give characters the most wild and bizarre character interests. Leona has a hobby of touring factories, Kim who is this super serious and stern man, likes karaoke, Benimaru is a godamn clay shooting player.
You know I'm not actually surprise Luke plays FPS games, it fits with him being in the military and all & would play CoD/Mondern Warfare. And him hating horror games I can somewhat relate, tho I mostly just hate being jumpscare any moment in RE Village lmao. Also I didn't expect a surprise easter egg from the new GoW Ragnorok game of Kratos mentioning PS All Stars, makes me wonder now if there be any cameos in the new game, can't wait to play it this weekend.
Okay... Testament having practically every hobby under the sun makes perfect sense since he's become a, "connoisseur of the world". But the fact that he doesn't actually DRINK liquor, but just likes it? That's hilarious! He litterally that person that will take a glass of wine, casually swirl it in the hand, maybe give it a sniff, take in the color... maybe he'll even taste it... but won't actually SWALLOW it. That's just great. XD
I love the little things about these character's like Ángel loves motorcycles pro wrestling enjoys tequila and cactus hates gambling and smokers shes also a great goalie for soccer so I know who to recruit for a soccer team Apparently K' is a gamer as well it be funny that if they make capcom vs snk 3 these 2 are in an art piece of playing games together
In Guilty Gear Strive both Ramlethal and Giovanna have a thing for Leo Whitefang. In typical GG fashion both instances are all kinds of messed up because Ram is technically 1½ years old and Giovanna's idea of seducing a guy involves knocking him out and abducting him.
And y'know. The fact that she's one of the first major female grapplers in a fighting game. Especially since, at the time she debuted in, we only ever had big boy grapplers like, say, Zangief. Yes, she even precedes Shermie, another female grappler, by a year.
Luke seems more of a chill guy so I think he isn't prone to raging, although he is pretty hot-blooded so I imagine a lot of yelling and getting hyped, LMAO Edit: Oh yeah, and if you check the Closed Beta art, it seems like he collects figures too!
by kof 15 and its side lore its obvious a lot of the orochi gang are starting to check out. Vice and Mature stopped caring by kof 13, and Goenitz is alive again sure, but is CYS's hearts really in it anymore?
She’s probably in a mindset like “Hey, it’d be neat if the Orochi came back,” but refuses to actually do anything to make this happen. Girl has clothes to make and gigs to attend.
Cool video, though Kratos technically isn't a FG character by origin, before heading to MK, PS All Stars and SC but DLC for MK imo was the best version of him in fighting game form ( and like a 100 other guest characters lol) but honestly NRS has the best DLC third party so not complaining. Jacqui seems so random lol.
Iori: Edgelord with a cursed bloodline who still has time to get his groove on in a jazz band Cammy: Troubled special forces operative with a fondness for cats Vega: My job is also my hobby :)
I like that the lore outside the KOF games goes into detail that Iori really dislikes fighting... unless it's Kyo. Funnily enough, Iori also has a fondness for cats, I think there's official artwork of him feeding a stray cat after a band gig
Daisuke writing testament in strive by just scouring social media for anything a non binary person has ever liked, he created the most gender possible.
Imagine Luke be in the Next Marvel Vs Capcom game and that's if Capcom decided to make another one and Dead Pool tell s him do to the fact that he breaks the 4th wall he might tell Luke so you like Video Games but yet your a Video gane character 😆
One of the fun facts I like about a character is this. Kazuya mishima collects sneakers. ...Kazuya Mishima. mr. I must kill my family, likes sneakers. Now I'm wondering if he's a Nike guy or an Adidas guy. XD

Wait, really? I have Tag 2 on the Wii U, and I don't remember this. Under what menu is it?
Shermie has a multifaceted personality for sure. Despite being a threat to humanity, she's definitely got a multitude of interesting quirks.
yeah. funny enough,she actually has a deep hatred for humanity and covers her eyes because she has a fixed glare of resentment towards people(atleast that is what was described) yet she is very sociable,cheery and friendly towards everyone,runs her own fashion business and is in a band lol,only to later reveal that she is part of a cult that is hellbent on sacrificing themselves to summon a god created by the will of the earth.

Finally im tired of waiting lol.
What a fun video lol I really dig how we can stretch these bits of character trivia, it may lead to some weird and funny relations between them
Damn l was waiting for him to mention kazuya's sneaker collection but the nina and anna one is also great
That list of Testament likes is so long I half expected it to contain "long walks on the beach."
Freddie Mercury also released a solo album in 1985 called 'Mr. Bad Guy'.
Fun fact: in GG rev 2, when Jhonny use his treasure hunter super, where he steals something important of the opponent, from Sol he steals a Queen álbum, the one which has "Keep Yourself Alive"
I am genuinely about to cry thinking about Luke streaming on twitch getting banned for saying a gamer word
I genuinely laughed out loud at the thought (of luke getting banned, not you crying).
I say Luke is more of a chilled dude and rarely have anger issues like E1itedeath or Pchooly. Well maybe a bit of Pchooly, if he gets angry he'll just go and hit a punching bag or something lol.
The Nina and Anna rivalry is deff on point especially in Death by Degrees where you really get to see Nina and Anna at their best..Namco needs to do a sequel or reboot 😢
LOVED THE VIDEO!!! Please, PLEASE do more of those! I really like to know more about fighting games' characters and their tastes, story and such.
Heihachi Mishima has a really interesting hobby as well. He loves to take his family members, strap them to a rocket, and laugh maniacally as they're blasted into space.
Lmao at the godlike thumbnail, gamer Luke with the cat headphones is too good
Something to mention about PSABR being canon to GoW is that Kratos's appearance in Shovel Knight is also canon. This means Shovel Knight canonically beat GoW3 Kratos in a fight.
I never knew about the Tom and Jerry thing with Nina and Anna Williams. It all makes so much sense now lol. Also Sol has legendary taste in music btw
KOF bosses have some funny ones
O. Zero's hobby is to raise children
Krizalid loves to clone celebrities
Igniz it's afraid of UFOS
Mukai Loves "Good food" and hates "bad food"
Zangief not liking pretty women speaks a surprising lot about his opinion of R. Mika, since he decided to be her mentor and tag partner
mika is one of the bros
That's an amazing video concept ! I never really had the time to go deeper into my favorite fighting games stories, so I have a lot of questions, and you have the answers !
When Ryu sees a spider he Tatsumaki senppukyaku out of there.
Please, make more of this kind of videos between the others, it was very good!
I mean, SFV Luke *DOES* look like someone you’d question where he was on January 6th.
What happened on Jan 6?
@@arandomguyontheinternet2308 the capital riot
@@cyberpunkfashionblyawesome Are you implying that Luke is Trump supporter, I get that he's American but he's not that naive XD
He seems like a dude that got sucked into the alt-right through gamer gate and now frames all his bigoted views in the form of questions so he can hide behind "I'm just asking questions".
@@akilcharles3473 no i just the answered the question
I would love to have a part 2 of this
Always liked how Mai Shiranui was into Heavy Metal and that Ryu Hayabusa ran an antique shop.
1:23 you put Luke on the infamous bride 😂 you did him diiiiirrtttyyy
I did him exactly as he deserves. In the SF universe Luke is 100% the one who would have the gamer bridge incident
Street Fighter character: "I like tacos and going hiking."
Testament: "My hobbies?...." *Hardware Store by Weird Al swells*
Ain’t no way my man’s put that pewdiepie clip😂
gamer moment
I would love a part 2 to this
In his sfiv website profile, ryu is also said to be a great hitchhiker.
The canon Kratos crossovers gets even more fun when you learn that according to the God of War staff, his secret boss appearance, and subsequent loss, with Shovel Knight are canon
Anyone who can duke it out, let alone win against, a literal god killer using nothing but a shovel has to be op af.
oh my god luke at the bridge you didn't have to go there
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE
I love SNK because they give characters the most wild and bizarre character interests. Leona has a hobby of touring factories, Kim who is this super serious and stern man, likes karaoke, Benimaru is a godamn clay shooting player.
I'd love to see more of this every now and then.

Love the luke thumbnail. Ma boy be gaming on stream.
Great theme for a vid, man. Loved it!
Your face when Testament is a fan of the Sharknado movies
I think for Luke it's less about not getting horror games and more him being too scared to play em which I totally get
This is also what I think. 😂
Man, Testament sure has a lot of time for hobbies... I envy them!
Your funnest video yet
🙏
Okay... Testament having practically every hobby under the sun makes perfect sense since he's become a, "connoisseur of the world".

Worth mentioning the emotionless Kazuya is a sneaker head.
The fact ragnarok references ps all-stars is pretty cool
Putting luke on that bridge clip hahahahahahah
omg you really used the bridge scene to say luke is a gamer im dying!!
I love the little things about these character's like Ángel loves motorcycles pro wrestling enjoys tequila and cactus hates gambling and smokers shes also a great goalie for soccer so I know who to recruit for a soccer team
Apparently K' is a gamer as well it be funny that if they make capcom vs snk 3 these 2 are in an art piece of playing games together
Good video, Roof.
Dan Hibiki:
Likes|'instant noodles, taunting'|
Dislikes|'seaweed, evil doers'|
Hobbies|'tile breaking, karaoke'|
lmao the gamer footage
Very fun video really enjoyed it from start to finish
After watching this video, I want there to be a scene in T8 where Nina and Anna are playing Tom and Jerry mirrors in Multiversus.
Man I loved this video ❤
So fun to watch
LOL, I knew you were going to bring up Shermie and her hamsters.
In Guilty Gear Strive both Ramlethal and Giovanna have a thing for Leo Whitefang.
In typical GG fashion both instances are all kinds of messed up because Ram is technically 1½ years old and Giovanna's idea of seducing a guy involves knocking him out and abducting him.
What a great video! I learned a lot 💯 😌
Always Nice to see Vice get mentioned……. such a brutal foul woman 🤧
And y'know. The fact that she's one of the first major female grapplers in a fighting game. Especially since, at the time she debuted in, we only ever had big boy grapplers like, say, Zangief.
Yes, she even precedes Shermie, another female grappler, by a year.
I'm wondering what her favorite SpongeBob characteristics
Great video! I'm shocked Felicia from darkstalkers being a scantily clad idol nun didnt make the list. 🤣
I would’ve thought Kazuya’s sneaker collection would make the list.
vice's favorite batman is Azrael, tell me i'm wrong
hey that suit he had when he was batman was pretty cool 😳
5:00 I'm pretty sure she have a Grover or Elmo shirt
"The guilty gear himself, sol badguy" i've never made that conection before... I feel ashamed
Zangief never dissapoints me, he is a true based gigachad as always
I love this video. I would love a part 2..3.....4 etc. Lol
I love videos like this.
Luke seems more of a chill guy so I think he isn't prone to raging, although he is pretty hot-blooded so I imagine a lot of yelling and getting hyped, LMAO
Edit: Oh yeah, and if you check the Closed Beta art, it seems like he collects figures too!
5hey really gave Luke all of the most hateable traits (works for a PMC, is a gamer, etc)
braces, America tattoos, no shoes
Kinda ironic listing gamer as a hateable trait.
Seriously dude, being a gamer a hateable trait!? What is joining the military a hateable trait too?
I love all your videos thank you
🙏
It all makes sense. That’s why Kratos appeared in a story cutscene in MK9. So that wasn’t a mistake after all.
Sometimes i wonder if Shermie really wants to revive Orochi lol
by kof 15 and its side lore its obvious a lot of the orochi gang are starting to check out. Vice and Mature stopped caring by kof 13, and Goenitz is alive again sure, but is CYS's hearts really in it anymore?
She’s probably in a mindset like “Hey, it’d be neat if the Orochi came back,” but refuses to actually do anything to make this happen.
Girl has clothes to make and gigs to attend.
she has why else do you think she guards the hamsters
"Shermie likes hamsters" yeah of course, those little creatures love to jiggle a lot
They have entire storylines and children we don’t even know about 🌚yet
I'm hurt you didn't mention Kazuya being a sneaker head 🙃
Theres plenty I didn't mention, vid gotta be digestible length after all. Maybe one day if there is a sequel vid
@rooflemonger Like goal for sequel? 👀
@@OdelyxRa who knows, I just go by how videos perform generally. Sadly this one underperforming right now a little bit :(
MOREEEE GREAT VID
Johnny's "Treasure Hunt" move in Revelator steals something precious to the person, and if he uses it on Sol it steals his Queen LP's haha
luke on the bridge lmaoo

Vice and Shermie are awesome. I like grapplers
Akuma being a fruit vendor is my favorite.
1:15 I see what you did there
Perry will be in the snow. First snow, you watch!
Testament will be playable in a snowboarding game before perry will ever be in the snow
9:48
SHE LIKES TO BUILD GUNPLA
I like this. Really hoping it becomes a common occurrence.
By the way, both Mature and Vice's moves are named after metal music bands
So does Zangief consider R.Mika as mannish?
She's a bro.
Probably sees her as a colleague in the business
Yeah, Luke and his gamer bod
You could make this a series
i need playstation all stars 2
This was a breath of fresh air. Gotta step away from the competitive stuff here and there.
