ALSO! bear that this is just the opinion of someone that doesnt know the characters and is just listening to the songs at face value. No, its not "objective" lmao its all just my uneducated opinion haha much love ❤
Play the hero IS the best song but in no way is A Town Inside Me the single worst song, you didn’t even listen to it bro :(
@@nijiiro2134 maybe I'll go back to it one day 😭
you are so damn underrated!!!
@@cryo7847 trying my best over here 😭
@@takarin64 Trigger is good and you're wrong for thinking it isn't. Have you not heard Sabotage by The Beastie Boys?
Drift is an S for the balls to make a song like Drift.
Gotta respect the ambition for sure!! It tries something different and that's very important! I was just fooling around and I'd love to actually play the game one day and redo the list to see what opinions changed
@@takarin64 In my experience it changes a lot. Drift for instance I avoided listening to for the first month or so but due to listening to it while playing I eventually grew used enough to it that I could appreciate the complexity of the lyrics and the character; and from that I grew to enjoy the music itself and now it's one of my favourites.
This type of thing occured to varying degrees with a lot of the songs on GG OST for me.
Also, you probably have, but if you did not, I implore you to listen to vocal GG tracks from older games. They're really good as well.
@@HappyLittleBoozer oh I didn't want to include those here to keep it short but I'll let you in on a little secret, I have been listening to heavy day and storyteller basically on a daily basis lmao
Drift is an S because it absolutely bangs.
@@takarin64 your opinion changes less based on you actually playing the game and more on how many repeat listens you have for any of the songs.
Necessary discrepancy and Drift sound way better the more you listen to it, but it's hard to enjoy the whole song from one listen,
He gave Armor Clad Faith a B! BUSTER HIM BOYS!
A H might be more suiting for rating this song B.
*HEAVENLY POTEMKIN BUSTAHHHHHH!!!*
B stands for buster
→↘↓↙←→P
B stands for "but i wont turn my back on life"
Fun fact about Axl, who has out of the box, is that hes literally out of time. He has power to travel through time, but only very recently gotten any true control over it.
Ohh I didn't know about that!! That vocalized chorus sounds heavenly! Maybe "out of the box" is for how he can always go back in time for a fresh start, doing it again "out of the box"?? Very interesting
@@takarin64 Oh but he can't go back in time, he's been told by another time traveller (the only other one) that he *can* go back to when he was happy but it would obliterate the current timeline, leaving him the only survivor of that universe. Axl is such a good guy he can't bring himself to fix his own timeline at the cost of everyone elses timeline
@@justv7536 yoooo i see!! Damn that's actually very cool!!
Bro the lyrics to armor clad faith is one of the best things about the song 😂
real
I think it's my hottest take on the list, I hope it grows on me 😭 cause I know how people like it!
@Takarin64 Trust me man whenever "I'm a fool" hits it is perfect for the character
@@takarin64 You've probably already been told, but the whole "society" part of armor clad faith is because Potemkin is an ex slave that couped his government
@@takarin64 Its okay those off parts are a bit weird without understanding Potemkin's character but once you do they hit hard as fuck, essentially he is an ex slave soldier experiment with a heart of gold, he was freed by his commander and helped overthrow his government but now he's starting to question it as he isn't seeing any real change in his society but he decides he has to continue on the path he has set for himself even if he doesn't see the fruits of his actions in his lifetime.
Watching this tierlist made me drink paint for real. All of them are S+ respectfully. AND ALSO THE TOWN INSIDE ME AT D, what the hell man
i cried
He doesn’t like the female characters songs lmao. Jacko’s is underrated af
It started off alright but then he started hurting my ears and eyes wtf man
He can't stand anything that isn't going at115 ,bpm
Leo main here, Leo's theme is literally about how he had survivor's guilt and PTSD and how he led countless soldiers to their deaths. Rock Parade is about how Anji loves Baiken, Mirror of the World is about how she's thankful for other people's help in making her not pissed off at the world all the time.
Anji just like me fr 😭
Let me carve your way is a masterpiece for me, its just so good
It's very good! Very inspired by progressive rock for sure, feels something dream theater would compose back in the systematic chaos days! And the chorus is amazing, Napoli's delivery is stellar too!
I think the reason it is considered top tier for me and a lot of others is THE ENDING BRO. That slaps so hard.
@@MayonakaXY i get chills everytime i listen to it
Bro really put armor clad faith in b tier, you have to know his backstory and intentions to fully understand his character😭
Yeah, absolutely! I'm sure this tier list would be very different if I knew the backstories, it's interesting to see how it changes when you actually know what's going on. Thought would be interesting to see someone with 0 GG lore knowledge react to the tracks face value. But i did feel every track is complementing the characters. That's why even though I have many shitty takes, I know this OST is an absolute masterpiece and I can't wait to revisit it one day!
@@takarin64 I'm just gonna say if you mix up his backstory with his theme he's one of the saddest but most hopeful characters of the game
Roar of the spark respectfully gatekeeping A tier
A very hard job to do!! Lots of them wanted a piece of that S tier cake!
Mf really just dropped em all not heavy or consinstance songs to bottom tier out of personal taste and calls it objective, like, my man happy chaos did nothing wrong man like he just drifting 😢
He's got a nice groove going on for sure!
fragile masculinity be like
happy chaos blew up japan, he most certainly did something wrong
@@Pink_Jesus he's just a little goofy
@@Pink_Jesus So did USA
Finally someone understands how powerful the Testament theme is, I don't know why so many people put it so low on tier list, I feel it's a pretty dramatic and powerful song that presents the current state of the character well.
Its my favorite same with ramlethals theme
for me, it just needed time to grow on me
I believe it's because of the delivery and pronounciation of the lyrics that throws people of in a way that feels the wrong kind of wrong instead of a right kind of wrong if you know what I mean
Because I don't like how it sounds. It's not my least favorite though
@@tristankadow3756 not really? The pronouns are showing internal conflict. We assume by the end of the track they’re at peace with being nobinary
one of my friends said it perfectly, once you hear the guilty gear songs more than once and you know whats coming it gets better somehow, not sure why, but it does
I truly agree I've changed my opinion on a lot of these so far already
Having Drift "objectively" into anything below A tier is a criminal offense. It's supposed to be whacky and inconsistent because that's exactly what Chaos is like. Literally the only peeve I have with this list.
Yeah the track is definitely fitting for the character from what I could tell, it's a very fun piece that catches you by surprise, all of the tracks are incredibly fitting
@@takarin64 Weirdly enough i like to listen to it randomly, i seriously think it's a good song even without a character or meaning behind it.
@@kaz7886cause it is
About lyrics, actually all of them have meaning. It's just that most of them are related to lore and story in Guilty Gear, so it's hard to understand unless you know the story and lore
Edit: btw, you should release full VOD. It's pointless to watch short video like that if we're talking about listening to OST in Guilty Gear. There are a lot of intricate details within each song
You're absolute right! It's interesting to see how much the understanding changes when you know the characters. This was meant to show the tracks at face value. ALSO! There's a video for the full vod if you're interested! : ua-cam.com/video/4SxUmnSV5Ck/v-deo.html
@@takarin64 Yo, that's cool that you understand the whole "lore matters" thing. Also, thanks for linking VOD 👍
Also in CloudDrop's videos, the lyrics for Goldlewis, Jack-O and Baiken's themes are just straight up wrong. Bedman's theme is incredibly dubious as it's mostly guesswork. Bridget and Sin might have some small mistakes here and there as well but it's harder to tell.
P.S.: The Wiki has the more accurate stuff. Take those from season 2 with a grain of salt until official lyrics drop.
Town inside me at D tier is diabolical
Wait until you watch the vod and realize he literally skipped over the entire song bc a chat member said it was "rat poison to the ears"
I'm at 11:00 and so far your tierlist is almost a carbon copy of what my thoughts on the music were back when I first got into it on release of Strive. What I didn't have back then though was the understanding of all the musical references - thank you for putting those in, I can barely believe how similar Hellfire is to Stone Cold Crazy.
Daisuke is a music lover for sure and you can tell how much love he put into every track. And yeah it's funny how you react to the tracks when you don't know the context of the characters they represent! I'd love to know which opinions would change after playing the game
people when the guilty gear isn't a single long hard rock song that sound exactly the same it's whole lengt: 😡
My girl brisket
=[
All the instruments slowly chiming in as she gets more confident in herself is what does it for me
I listen to the town inside me and then i cry
Literally everytime he heard a woman singing ew instantly went "eww what is this anime shit" lol
The Town Inside Me is a really cool track, it's a blues track through and through, but disguised as pop. It makes sense though, his preferences are strongly towards the old school metal/hard rock stuff, so it's unsurprising he wouldn't like a bluesy-pop track.
@@snyderplayz9442 or he just heard the music itself being way different than the ones with male singers, in case you didnt notice that trend
@@snyderplayz9442 love the subhuman self: 🗿
YOU PUT THE TOWN INSIDE ME IN D? I'M CRYING
Pretty good reaction, nice editing, pretty funny music comparisons. Good video.
I agree with the “Like a weed, naturally, as a matter of course.” ranking (no bias wdym)
Based.
perfection, town and disaster being so low pains me greatly, high-key the best songs in the game
I agree with disaster only because I have been traumatized by May mains
I agree only with The Town Inside Me, because the lyrics resonate with me as a person, as does Bridget herself.
Town may be my least favorite song honestly
@@LordlyWeeb Then respectfully you are an uncultured person
The moment you know Potemkin’s backstory ironclad faith lyrics make perfect sense
Drift, Armor-Clad Faith, Let Me Carve Your Way, and especially Town Inside Me are *_CRIMINALLY_* low
Hell yeaaah Respect for putting like a weed in S tier that sound is weird but rocks ya right in the feels
I was legit crying after that, the lyrics are beyond spectacular!
I think that the beautiful thing about Like a Weed is how it plays into the two key figures that influenced Testament's life: Dizzy and Kliff Undersen. I also like how it plays into Testament being non-binary, with changing from male pronouns to female pronouns to male pronouns over and over again.
The Town Inside Me also delves into Bridget's gender dysphoria (Feeling out of place, being stuck in a gray haze) and her finally accepting her true self.
I think that's the beautiful part about Guilty Gear Strive. All of the character themes express their personality and their own struggles and triumphs very well. Even some of the more one-note characters are fleshed out in some form (Potemkin grappling with the fact that he may one day not be strong enough to protect Zepp, Leo dealing with major PTSD from fighting in the Crusades and watching many of his men die, Ramlethal overcoming the Universal Will conditioning her to believe that humans are inherently evil, etc.) so I don't really mind a few themes like Disaster of Passion and Perfection Can't Please Me if we can have some more themes like Like a Weed and Mirror of the World.
I think you're absolutely right, even though I went to the video with virtually no knowledge of the characters, I did feel like every one of them represented the character very well! Regardless of what I thought of the track
Some hot takes here and there but loved how you identified all the references in the songs (Daisuke loves doing that) Nice job
Man you pointed out a lot of musical references that I wouldn’t have caught normally
The town inside me in F hurts my soul
Let Me Carve Your Way in anything but S is criminal and The Town Inside Me in F is literally deranged
i swear its the AISHA effect. your firat listen you hate her songs then after repeat listens it becomes top tier.
That's a very interesting point! Though I feel like it's how Daisuke composes tracks for Aisha, cause I like the quality of her voice, delivery is clean af and much of the times it's a great contrast from the low-end mixes of the heavy tracks. So if the Aisha effect exists, it's not her fault I'd say. It might just be how the tracks are composed around her. Excellent observation though!
Still not a fan of Jack-O's theme.
This fucking upsets me. I can't even 100% fault him which is a pain but this fucking angers me.
No way he put Town Inside Me that low.
For Referance, Potemkin's theme (Armored clad Faith) is a scathing review of his home country before him and his friend staged a coup on the dictator, as for the I'm a fool parts, its his self doubts on whether or not he actually made change, but how he knows that he needs to have faith that future generations that will enjoy the fruits of there labor, so he needs to hope and pray. As for Zato, the end part talks about how he got all emotion stollen from him by his demon, but he can feel one emotion, he doesn't know what its is, but all he knows is that he gets when he is near millia, which is why he is willing to stay in her shadow. If ya have anymore questions about the lyrics and what they mean, just ask. hope ya enjoy this and this helps.
Damn thank you!! That was very insightful actually! Yeah kinda makes you look at the songs in a different light.
@@takarin64 it’s the same with every song, and some like Bridget’s (town inside of me) and jack-o’s theme (simpler things in life), are *heavily dependent on knowing the context. Like I said ask if ya have any questions
This video is seriously brilliant. Every similarity I picked up on you can name effortlessly, and you picked up on ones I hadn't even though I know the songs well. Ez sub sir! Would love more guilty gear ost content if you feel like there is more to do.
I grew up with my parents playing living on a prayer on loop. Small wonder i love roar of the spark so much
14:41 Testament has such a good theme dude. It’s probably my favorite in the whole game
Not gonna lie, I don't have a lot of knowledge on all the classic metal Guilty Gear references, so seeing you recognize sounds and pointing them out was really interesting to me! Great video bro
Oh my God I'm so glad someone else pointed out the huge Full House vibes in Out of the Box lmao it's so uncanny. Love that song tho
Mirror is 100% S for me. I don't think it has any weak parts.
Wait... What about Necessary discrepancy and Requiem?
I instantly subbed when I saw Mignonne by Taeko Onuki in the background, 4:00 AM is one of my favorite songs ever. You have great music taste my guy
It's such a good albummmm, what a gem, I'd love to have the opportunity to talk more about it in the future
i love how you caught so many of the influences and references!!!!!! im a huge gg fan and music fan and those are one of my fav bits of this ost
oh but trigger disrespect will not be tolerated. the laid-back beastie boys influence is such a cool contrast to the other character's themes
It's definitely very fun to listen to!! I can't wait for more characters to come out so there's more new music to hear!
I love all the musical similarities to other songs you pointed out.
I respect your tierlist!!! pretty funny video too lolll, its sick to see someone put alone infection in s tier as its one of my personal favourites from the game. One reason for that is how its all brought together in the end!!
Oh yeah alone infection is amazing, the lyrics are super aggressive, really gives in to Faust's vibe
did you uhh... come back to this yet after learning each characters' story? i'd love to see an updated list where you finally know the backstory of each character to see if there's any changes to the list
Not yet! I'd like to eventually do it though, seems like a fun idea!
I can't wrap my head around some of these being B or lower, but Out of the Box being A. I guess we just wouldn't get along musically, but that's okay.
An edited reaction with a totally "objective" opinion, musical references and an overall fresh take on the ost tierlist?? I like that, even if I find it criminal to rate Drift anything that isn't S. Overall good video dude, you have good taste and good music knowledge 👍
Appreciate it a good bunch! Hoped it was a nice experience! Yes it's totally """objective""" hahahaha!
Disaster of Passion not S tier, Trigger and Drift at C??? Man's is burying me v_v
but great music reference knowledge though.
8:33 Nah you thought you could sneak that past us. WHAT DO YOU MEEEAN BY THAT?
Drift, Zato's, and The Circle are definitely my top 3, I was a little bit sadge to see them relatively low but I respect it
(also would've loved to see requiem make the cut, one of my favorites for sure and I'm always interested in peoples' opinion on it)
Yeah sadly I didn't say anything too relevant for me to include in the video. The VODs available if you wanna take a look, you can see the full reaction to all of them there. And honestly?? Some of the tracks grew on me, today, the circle would probably be S
@@takarin64 having tracks grow on you is a great feeling. had that happen for both Goldlewis's theme and Jack-O's
high quality content, nice eddits, hope you will get lots of views
Thank you so much!! Truly appreciate it!
Thanks for these song reccomendationsss
All good! I hope to do more of these so I can share more of the music I love! It feels great to see everything connecting when it comes to music!
bro literally found all the samples of GGST OST LOOOOL
I love the cat in your profile picture :) very cute and makes me happy
amazing, a gulity gear music video that only has small tidbits of the actual songs
The vod is in the description and has the full reaction to all of the tracks! I decided to compress the length of the video so it becomes more acessible
huge respect for putting Testament's Theme on S tier
but the others...😭😭
We can't have it all, can we? :(
@@takarin64 fair enough
Sorry if can I ask for the intro song's name? I heard this song for a while but lost track of it but now I found it here, thank you
It's Mewmore's remix of MvC2's Clock Tower!: ua-cam.com/video/ZR6liu10mDM/v-deo.html
@@takarin64 Thanks again
Im so glad you pointed out that perfection cant please me is just dont stop me now i felt insane for so long
Bro your references are spot on!
Thank you! It's cool that many of those references stand out, makes it all the much more fun to listen to them
Bro has the hottest takes
Don't let bro cook he overcooks
Just let me cook ONE MORE TIME
Imma be honest chief, it shouldn't be surprising that the Japanese franchise has some "anime" songs in its soundtrack
Half the songs I'm like "hell yeah mate good choice" and the other half like "How fucking dare"
I need to do one of these I listen to some of these songs on the way to work 😂
Not putting Let me Carve your Way in S tier is a crime but the rest of the tier list is rlly good- I love the The Circle appreciation cuz I really think it doesn't get the love it deserves
Man!! and imma be honest, it grew a lot on me, can't get it out of my head, it's got the best chorus out of the entire OST so far
Most of these songs lyrics make sense if you know the characters lore.
for the context of Armor Clad Faith, the character fought and overthrew the tyrannical government he and everyone in his nation lived in as a slave. Hence the mention of society and role of a clown being in the lyrics, as no one believed he’d be able to do such thing
i live for music react content and this was excellent, ty steamer man
I really wanna do more, maybe SF6 character themes??? Could be fun!
Did he not realize that "Who do you fight for?" has the Vocal structure of Come Together?
May, Happy Chaos and Bridget were done dirty but this video is great
bruh, you knew so many references to the songs, nice!
town inside me not at triple s tier 😔
Alone Infection for the win.
Alriiiight, imma go sub, bro knows his shift
Aight bro, you know i got u
Armor clad faith not being an s is criminal
I am so weak for plinging noises in music (especially rock/metal) and ky's theme had me on my knees, absolute S tier for me
I’m surprised by how many influences you picked up in the tracks. I think the guitar riff for the verses of Rock Parade sound really similar to American Idiot. Also, I think that Crawl had a lot more old school trash inspiration like Metallica and I’ve heard Kiss of Death described as biker metal. Idk if that’s a real thing tho.
Best ost tier list I’ve scene for sure
Thank you! I appreciate it!
why is drift below S
This list hurts me but im biased asf
missing the best part of rock parade is CRIMINAL
I love how if you pick a strong buff man character you get amazing fucking metals riffs and when you pick may you get shitty romance anime opening. This is why guilty gear is perfect
That's what I'm sayinngggg, let cute girls have kickass themes!!! They deserve them too!
wait, I see Necessary Discrepancy is on the tierlist, but why is there no reaction/comments to it on here???
When editing, I felt some of the tracks, I added very little insight on and so decided to not include them on the final video. However the VOD has all of the tracks
Such a wide breadth of musical knowledge
Thank you! I try to listen as many different types of music as I can, it's fun to deconstruct music like this!
anyone have the full stream, i really want watch the full reaction.
The VOD is up, i just don't know for how long lmao: ua-cam.com/video/4SxUmnSV5Ck/v-deo.html
finnaly a good tier list video
Finally, a good comment!
The ending of Armor-clad Faith makes it S tier for me..... I also play Potemkin
Very valid comparisons! Also the first time I've heard the term "neo-baroque" but i like it lmao
one my friend pointed out was "What do you Fight For" sounds like "Come Together" by the Beatles for some reason
Wow, there’s a lot of western rock references in these themes, I wonder if there was a precedent for it from the guy who named one of his characters Axl Low?
9:15 bro he died and literally has no emotions cut him some slack.
so I recognize that this video is 3 months old and everyone has made a comment about this...
but drift man 😭😭😭
Im surprised u didnt mention the come together refrence for Nagoriyukis theme
Omg I TOTALLY HEAR IT!! Daisuke is a genius! Hahaha
@@takarin64 i didnt notice at first too. Its put nicely in
A few of these songs feel har dro evaluate because they like to tell the story or mental of the character. Drift is a rough comparison, but I think it reflects Happy Chaos's mental after decades of insanity.
Yeah I understand and I feel like it's very cool that they do that. I tried to give the perspective of someone who doesn't know the characters to show how the songs stand on their own, it's a cool experiment. Maybe one day I'll get to know the backstories and evaluate the songs differently!
never let bro cook again
Real such shit takes
to put millias theme anywhere other than S tier should be a crime
1:35 glad to know i'm not the only one hearing living on a prayer
The more I watch I worse your opinions get, it's amazing
the best reaction i have seen so far
Appreciate it! More soon!
Nah mate, you didn't call Drift C tier, I know it's a difficult song to keep up with and it breaks a lot of conventions so brain feels uncomfortable while listening to it for the first time but listen to it few more times, your brain will get used to the chaos and you will be able to hear actual beauty of it. (Which is oddly thematic to the character)
