With I no being out of the picture, Ky becoming a gear that leads illyria and Sol badguy being a regular gear now. Asuka could easily become the protector of humanity against threats like happy chaos if he so wishes to, people wont have to fear him anymore and also the fact that he canonically has a podcast is just funny as hell
With the change of the story with SIGN, he really became one of the most interesting fighting game villains. He turned into a relatively bad character with his own motives and ideals, rather than someone who does evil just to be sinister (shout out to M. Bison). While he was running after his ideals, his regrets and failures were always on Asuka's neck. It is great that you made a video for the character while he is available so that players can pick him. thats why it is an excellent character video for players who are considering buying the DLC or have already bought it but don't know anything about Asuka at all.
Quick point of clarification for any comment dwellers: Jack-O isn't Aria Hale. There's a good reason people say she is, but it's complicated. Jack-O is one of 4 clones of Aria, the Valentine series of Gears. Short version of her story is that Jack-O ends up with Aria's memories and soul, but Aria doesn't take control of Jack-O's body as intended. Jack-O contains everything that Aria was, but her own personality remained dominant. The only reason I'm bothering to clarify is that her entire character arc relates to her struggling with her identity as a clone of Aria and I just think it's the cutest heckin' thing ever that Sol never calls her Aria. Like, all he wanted was his wife back but he still sees Jack-O as Jack-O.
Hey, I may be late to the party but this was a very good video! I do hope one day that GGST decides to dive deeper into worldbuilding, and that includes the early pasts of all characters, childhoods etc. I'd love to know what Asuka's life was like when he was a kid, more about how he interacted with Frederick & Aria, what his days as a disciple were like, and so on. Much love to you bro.
I guess I would call that a 'decent happy' ending, I mean he redeemed his mistakes didn't he, and everyone learnt he wasn't that kind of a villain or a bad guy. Of course he is not a saint, he did really messed up shit but, his purposes for most of the times for good cause.
so i dont get gg2 overture like the universal will made an aria clone to get the cube and do what it wanted? why did it use aria? because it infected justice before and had access to that aria soul??
Cool, but I still have one last question: What are the lore implications of there being a playable Asuka R# and a playable Asuka R. Kreutz? What is the difference?
no gameplay difference it's just that R# is a clone asuka made to help him with work. also so that the player themsaves has to go out of their way to truly play that man
I never played the story mode in strive cuz it was my first gg game but would love to learn the lore of this complex game the only thing I know about this game is dizzy sol ky and sin family tree 😂😂
@@pigeonwizard7453r# is basically an identical artifucial human with the only difference being that he lacks the originals morals (know that i took this info straight from the wiki so I might be wrong)
If people called me "That Man" and a "Menace to Society" I simply would not tell anyone my real name because I prefer that shit to be honest.

M. Bison might be a shit tier villain imo...There is nothing likable, not even a single scene or a trait about him. Literally nothing.

Ima need a faust one immediately, thank you
Another Faust fan discovered my channel I see, I might do it sooner than I planned to.
@@arcadenaut yesssssirrr
still waiting for that chaos video
The Sephiroth of guilty gear
Do you think Asuka's earned his happy ending, in spite of all he's done?

What's the song at 4:52?
Holy Orders 3
Wait so if you pick asuka are you playing as him or not? Because his arcade mode makes it really confusing
Color 2 I believe is the only real asuka r kreutz rather than r#
@druice2231 so is r# just like an android or somthing the real asuka made? That's how it sounded
