@@dreamcastdazia4753 Well, Daisuke never actually read or watched Rurouni Kenshin, merely, he saw a poster for it The artist also really likes depicting Kenshin as being very feminine, he even sports magenta robes with long hair in Samurai X.
shes one of the most badass female characters in gaming history. she not only has one arm, but she has one good eye and is still able to fight. thats what i call determination.
No left eye. No right arm. She fights using iaijutsu right? Isn't weird to see Baiken's sword isn't on her right side so it would be easier for her to draw it from its sheath? But no. She have her sword just at her left side, the same side her eye is missing. And yet, she draws and sheathes her sword with perfection. Also while her reasons to fight isn't the most noble while understandable, Baiken shows one can do anything to fulfill their goal if their will is strong enough. This is what Daigo Umehara says about "going past ten". I don't think there will be a female fighter just as badass as Baiken.
@@matthewrivera451 that's because most people are right handed being left handed in a fight is an advantage because you have to think differently about you opponents attacks.
Pretty sure it's related to old samurai tradition, where being left handed was seen how it was in most other places during ancient times, unnatural. If you were a samurai, you had to wear it on the left, even if you were left-handed. At least, if memory serves.
I love the idea of a one-handed swordsman. I know Baiken probably isn't the original idea behind it, but I think of her mastering the sword with one hand is like devoting her life to combat, leaving almost no room for compassion because she doesn't have a hand to touch others with and show compassion for them.
Don't forget about the fact that she's one of the only characters in the series that doesn't use magic or isn't some sort of freak. The fact that, accompanied by her disabilities, she's able to fight against the likes of Zappa, Slayer and Faust, and WIN, is simply mindboggling.
@@science_man3425 Nah, she only keeps up with them because Sol half asses things and Ky really doesn't go out of his way to seriously hurt others unless you piss him off big time because Ky holds back exponentially whenever he fights.
Seriously want Baiken in Strive. If she was the final character to be revealed, I would lose my darn mind Edit: I just heard the good news that Baiken is officially in Strive coming this January 2022
@@solidsteak1232 hopefully. I used him a lot and he is such a unique projectile character even compared to a lot of fighting game characters in other franchises.
Peace141308 ikr, so excited! I just hate the whole new full price release right after I started mastering the game, plus robo ky didn't come back! Hopefully next update
+Shmurlock it's actually not a full priced update. All copies of Revelator will get Rev 2 as an update and the new content will be DLC. You still gotta pay for it, but it'll be cheaper, and if you just want the balance changes you won't have to pay anything
Ever since I saw her character in a game magazine around 20 years ago, I already fall in love with her design. And now knowing this is her theme, make it even more! If I could play GG I will try to master her for sure
If it is a money problem or a potato pc problem or both I suggest guilty gear xx accent core plus r, on steam legally or steam unlocked if you're OK with piracy, it's only like 800 megabytes
Note: Baiken's design is based off Kenshin Himura from Rurouni Kenshin, and her name might also be a reference to Shishido Baiken, a skilled swordsman in the Edo Period who had skill with a kusarigama, which Baiken conceals one in her severed arm.
You know, I feel like Baiken has a lot in common with Guts from Berserk. Both lost an eye and an arm due to a tragic event, they seek revenge, they have a bad temper and are lonely, they use swords as their main signature, but they also have other weapons and kill beings stronger than humans
But Baiken has fought and trashed a replica of Justice, and has even killed I-No in one story path. Both of those characters are incredibly powerful, far more powerful than most of SC's top tiers, and probably more powerful than Tekken's top tiers as well.
Let's be fair here; give it time. The art had been built from the ground up this time around and the battle system changed so they couldn't do everything they wanted to. I predict the next game to have a much larger character roster.
I remember the first time I played GGX(for the Dreamcast) and thought this was a Samurai X(Rurouni Kenshin) game, and kept thinking Baiken was Kenshin and Sol was Sanosuke lol
I always imagine that she's fighting Haohmaru from Samurai Showdown. I think Baiken, Yoshimitsu, and Haohmaru make a good rivalry since theyre both samurais.
Bye-Ken. It's kinda easy to pronounce for a romance language speaker, since we don't have strange variation of vowels, unlike in anglo-saxon languages. Our languages have a phonetic writing system (stuff is written exactly how you pronounce it, therefore there's no need to know the pronounce beforehand). Romanji translitteration of Japanese is a phonetic writing as well, which makes it really easy to read. More or less, you spell each vowel individually. A is Ah, I is Ee, O is Oh, U is Uh and e is Eh. Also notable that in japanese G and C are always "hard" sounds, like in "Goat" and "Coat". For example, "Evangelion" is pronounced "Eh V ah n G(hard) Eh Lee Oh n". And "U" after an "S" is usually almost mute ("Sasuke" is pronounced "Sah-S-Keh").
I don't seem to ever remember losing with her, until Anji countered my start-up triple-slash overdrive with his attack counter overdrive. Getting finished that epicly? There ain't a tier for that.
I actually remember reading an interview where the creator talked about how surprised he was when he found out Kenshin was a guy.
this is how a videogame designer works
Edit: this is how tecnically every designer works
Is the creator an idiot lol

And also left handed.
motivated.
And with a weapon that is designed to be two-handed, at that.
She also has two big reasons to like her as well.
@@cripplinganimedepression9902 the reasons become bigger with every game
No left eye. No right arm.

This is what Daigo Umehara says about "going past ten".
I don't think there will be a female fighter just as badass as Baiken.
I think it's because her right side is where she stores all her gadgets.
well, yes, if you left handed you put your weapon the right side, but i guess she use samourai mind fuckery to unsheath at light speed.
Left hand fighters are good at fighting. I feel like lefties are seen as like an exotic animal. That's funny lol.

10 years late
But she s based off lady snowblood
Pretty cool movie if u want 1 handed samurai badass ladies
she's the sekiro before sekiro.
It's always funny when she's facing the other direction and suddenly it's her left arm that's missing.
It's like Spencer's Bionic Arm switching places in MvC3

She’s practically a force of nature
the fact that she can keep up with Sol and Ky makes her a high tier in terms of power

The comment section on these videos is like a time capsule.
One of the best songs, so many fond memories of this game
The character through which I got to know about Guilty Gear for the first time.
Tatami Gaeshi! Tatami Gaeshi! Tatami Gaeshi! Tatami Gaeshi!...
Baiken's back les go!!!
She returns! I never should've doubted Daisuke's Vision
Still hot.
that's song was my first peak at guilty gear and what lead me to discover the games
Keep calm and TATAMI GAESHI!
If I ever decide to get a girlfriend, I hope she is like Baiken.
1 hand, 1 eye and completely bonkers vengeful killing machine focused on finding and killing The Man?..
DemoBytom Yes.
DemoBytom Don't forget genderless or lesbian.
pgraphics How is she genderless? I mean, maybe lesbian, though, I don't know. But genderless? She is clearly female.
Aquaman Someone's gender is how they think of themselves, as opposed to someone's sex which is a physical state.
Finalmente achei a música que o Diorod coloca nas suas lives, demorou mas consegui, e que Tema maravilhoso !
This song is so sick
I read this as mommy life
She made it in story but not gameplay? That hurts Arc Systems.
Just like Johnny in Xrd. She'll be in the next iteration, don't worry.
Same with Zappa, right?
She's made too well to be left out. SHE HAS to be in the next iteration
Let's be fair here; give it time. The art had been built from the ground up this time around and the battle system changed so they couldn't do everything they wanted to. I predict the next game to have a much larger character roster.
Lilly Satou I hope they will add her in a next eventual expansion of the game
SHE'S FINALLY IN STRIVE.
AND NOW, YOU BUY-KEN
Baiken ready in strive
Favorite character theme in FG history. If we're playing +R, you can bet I'm picking this song
