I love how for most characters they look and sound at least similar to their Xrd appearance, and then you have Faust

Keep in mind in lore this was a 2 week timeskip

It’s interesting how with Xrd’s graphical design, it’s deliberately trying to mimic older sprites with its jerkier movements and saturated colors while Strive has a more down-to-earth flow with its focus on 3D graphics.

Down to how they look, you can tell that each game is a completely different experience.

Bedman?: Makes Delilah safe and happy in its bed arms.

i love how every gg strive youtuber has agreed to pause the music during i-no and axl's intros

[LegitDark]

3:43 people don't give you enough credit on how badass it is to make the music stop for ino to teleport in

[TdotTube]

Dope how they gave different stances but same/similar idles and taunts

I absolutely love Baiken's intros, they're almost exact polar opposites of each other. Xrd has her walking away into a field and smiling like a badass as the screen clicks from colored to black and white. While Strive has her walking into the battle away from the field and the screen already being black and white before she cuts the color into the frame.

Baiken's strive intro is so powerful, it even muffles the music for the compilation. Nice touch!

Also lets remember that in Strive the shading is dynamic, while in Xrd each character has their own shading independently of the actual lighting coming from the stage. Making Strive's designs feel more grounded to their sorroundings and Xrd's designs more 2D looking. I feel like in some stages the shading in Strive really shines while in others it doesn't as much, while Xrd is pretty uniform. I honestly can't decide which style I prefer, they both look so good

[InfinitelyMasked]

Its crazy how simple yet perfect an upgrade I-No's glasses are

Also gotta admit I miss Leo's old win animation with the book.

[WaddleDee]

I hope Baiken's ponytail is even bigger when she appears as a DLC character in the next game.

Jesus Christ, Strive Potemkin makes his Rev2 self look SMALL

[sionsylvestia]

I love xrd more when it comes to animation (the limited 2D feel really had its charm to me) but I love strive when it comes to the design of the characters, for the most part. Both game are amazing and people shouldn't argue about which game is better since they are both aiming different thing with their art direction, we should all appreciate how great guilty gear as a franchise is

[serene-illusion]

man I miss how Xrd's round start intros weren't just "walks up to the screen"

[AzureAetherXx]

I already liked most of Strives redesigns but what I didn't realize was just how much better the posing and stances on the strive cast are. So much of their posing reads much more clearly in Strive over Xrd.

[Rramuh]

Next guilty will hopefully have goofy faust again…I miss him

[SkeletonHeaven]

I like the added weight to animations + the fact that Sin got to unfurl his flag now XD

[leonidas]

Man, Faust went from funny crackhead to walking bones

[doorsareforopening]

Faust went from a joke character to advanced depression
