My Impression+Opinion of Bedman's transition from Xrd to Strive

This is my opinion and impressions on Strive Bedman and I provide some context as to why may have lost some things going into Xrd. He lost a lot less than one might think.

One of the things I like about New Bedman? Is how Deja vu was CONCEPTUALLY changed, while in Xrd Deja Vu cut startup and allowed bedman to act along with the repeated action, in Strive you act along with the repeated action on a timer and must add startup if you want to save it or use it immediately.
It fits so well with the bed machine malfunctioning that Deja Vu becomes backwards lol

I like this break down. You explained your points, made and showed direct references and while this isnt a determination its better than what ive seen lately.

[karue]

I'm hella excited for the character, and super happy you are too

[Monokeors]

thanks for the breakdown was really curious to hear your take on bedman's changes.

Really happy to be joining you in the transition from Xrd Bedman to Strive Bedman!! Thanks for this awesome comparison video I’ve been wanting to hear all your thoughts since the announcement!

[Uooooooooooooh]

I didn't really care about Bedman in Xrd but it was still interesting to hear your thoughts on his transition to Strive, I'll definitely try him since he seems more up my alley now. I also like the new design better with his sister just spectating and reacting to what's happening while the bed itself is empty.

Believe or not, I played bedman in xrd because of you. I liked how sick he looked despite his....downsides. I wasn't too big into strive since I didn't really have a character I meshed with. Needless to say, seeing that you're hopeful for this new variation brings me joy

Thanks for the video, I've been wanting to hear your opinion of the character since the reveal.

Damn what a nice thumbnail. Ngl seeing Bedman's image side by side like that screams faithful to me.

[AwsmTheMan]

Very interesting and informative to watch. Hope you will upload some more Bedman? related content when the character releases. I'm looking to pick him up and would appreciate a knowledgeable source of info. You seem to be just the guy for me! 👍

Excited to see how Bedman goes for you in Strive! Been learning from your Bed for a while now and I even made a highlight video of your Bedman at Anime Ascension so many years back. Hopefully he fares better than the fan man this time around.

Bedman's my Xrd main too, so I'm real happy he's finally coming out in Strive. He looks super cool.

[Rjazz]

Can't wait to see you take tournaments with Bedman once again! No more funny fan man!

[Violet-Excellence]

Been waiting for your impressions! The coolest character has returned

[danielnegronjr]

amazing video and would love more but if there’s anyway for you to be less monotone next time that would be amazing

[pokeaust]

I am so happy with how Bedman turned out and it seems he’ll finally break the DLC trend of “characters that kinda just play neutral with good buttons and have gimmicks with missed potential” that imo has been a thing from Baiken to Sin. Of course, that’s just the way I feel, I know more people will like the more traditional characters while I can have fun with my weirdos that come out every now and then, and I think Bedman will fit right in with my repertoire.

Great video! You should probably mention how qualified you are to talk about this in the title, it will probably make the video perform better

[heromedley]

love how delilah just vibing walking around in the stage reminds me of red from smash

[MiniWhiteDragon]

I'm gonna buy this on release for sure. Mostly cause Delilah is cute but also cause the gameplay is unique and interesting

[Cheesepuff]

Great video, am excited to play Bedman? soon
