This song is actually used for the VS screen before a fight starts in both Xrd and Strive. Normally you just hear the opening and then get into a fight
I don't know if I've said it before, but the drums are always so underrated in guilty gear. I love the songs where you can tell the drummer is having a lot of fun and not just holding a pattern the whole way through.
Still blows my mind they chose this, a boss theme from the previous game, to repurpose it as friggin loading screen music in Strive I love Daisuke and everyone involved in these OSTs so much man If I recall correctly, all of Xrd's vocal themes have also instrumental versions of them in the game
You’re right though. Daisuke still composed Guilty Gear music, but Xrd marked the first time in the series Daisuke worked with Naoki Hashimoto (from the band Outrage). Which had a huge infulence for that kinda sound in those games, moving into Strive. Also I think Daisuke has his own stable of session musicians. You’ll actually see overlap for some of the musicians going across Guilty Gear and BlazBlue games. Dunno if that info helps.
Correction, Vastege XT (that random pachinko game) was the first time Naoki Hashimoto worked as the vocalist for a Guilty Gear game. It's where Shotgun and Head, Dice, Storyteller, and Coming Home came from.
@@hazzydahaka13 I never understood why or how Guilty Gear got a random pachinko game. How would those songs even play through something like that? Much less bothering to have songs at all for a pachinko game.
"This song must be really fun for people who sing." Yes! Me! I genuinely love belting along with this song when I listen to it. 🤣 Sky Should Be High is a genuinely fun song. It's one of my favorites in the Guilty Gear series. Glad you reacted to it! 🤘❤️
Finding out that the vs loading screen theme before a match (that just plays for a couple seconds) is actually this awesome full theme with LYRICS felt so legendary to me
I haven't heard this in awhile so it's nice to get a refresher. This starts off kind of like Nago's theme, awesome riffs but that's expected with GG. I always love the vocals in GG and they are just as good in Xrd as they are in Strive. I love how layered they are, the super harmonized parts during the chorus is my favorite part, love how they sound. The mix up was great, I actually really like Naoki's clean vocals. To me that mix up was a moment of relaxation but then you were pulled back into the fight out of nowhere. Those drums are indeed awesome, I very much enjoyed this song.
It is strange that Jesse has already reacted to 15 songs from Guilty Gear, but still no one requested the best ones. Like Icarus, Big Blast Sonic, Coming Home or Dear Song. I am not even talking about Blank or something.
Character songs have an instrumental and vocal version, and of course the live performance and music album versions that tend to be noticeably different too. I wouldnt say the stages have themes, but some songs require certain things to trigger. For example: Still in the dark=Milla & Zato while Holy Orders(Be Just or be Dead) version 3 plays if Ky's hairdo comes undone
Megadeath is a class of Gear in lore that fought during a 100 year war called the Crusades, against a force called the Sacred Order of Holy Knights. so, funny you mention that song specifically :P
Another banger from Daisuke as always--goes to show that this series just has no bad music; it has a flavor of music for everyone. This song is always one of the favorites to just belt out on (whether it be singing or belting out combos). I think for the next GG Song we should check out, lets go from rock and metal to something more sobering--something sad--lets check out "Freesia" or "Lily". They're definitely heavy hitters if you know the characters especially. But if you want more rock or metal? "Find Your One Way" from Strive or "Ride The Fire!" from Xrd. Also "Six Black Heaven Guns" from Xrd is also nice. Big Blast Sonic, HEAVY DAY, Sheep Will Sleep.
Once You listen to The Mask Does not Laugh, It's just Guitar that takes the stage, it's so good, the Guitar riffs in this song remind me of that a lot, but I don't go a day without listening to The Mask does not Laugh 😭😭
One of the if not the best GG song imo. Divide my heart, Freesia, All I can do, Six black heavens guns, Icarus, Jack o Dandy and Rokumon are pretty close though. Btw acoustic guitars and "lighter" instruments were used A LOT in Xrd's vocal songs. Which is one of the many reasons why I prefer it over strive
Xrd came out in 2014, and it was very different from the older stuff, but it laid the groundwork for Strive’s vocal themes with its own! This is actually the loading theme for that game, despite not being from it. Also, I believe they’ve never done stage themes specifically, always character themes! BlazBlue is the same way, and I love them in both. I’ve always preferred hearing the theme of the characters I fight or play as to the themes of the stage I’m in personally (Tekken is an exception, I love the stage themes there)
The song you were talking about that sounded like Megadeth was "Tsuki No Shihai" its Raven's theme from xrd, I hope you do a reaction to it someday, it's my favorite theme in the game
One of my favorites from Xrd Rev 2 is Bao Babel Nose. It doesn’t have any vocals, but man if that guitar isn’t killer I don’t know what is. Oh btw, this song does appear in Strive! It’s the loading screen music when you start a match. But you don’t really get far into the song because it doesn’t take that long to start
Something to react to, all from Pathfinder: Wrath of the righteous: Kiss the sun and scratch the moon Our Lady in Shadows Cosmic balance (aeon path theme) Wisdom of millenia (gold dragon path theme) Lord of the dead (lich path theme) Starward gaze (azata path theme) The hunger eternal (swarm that walks path theme) Mythic power Crusade victory theme
There are some videos of the band preforming a couple of the songs from strive, I'd find and link them but I'm on my phone right now. And because you always ask for tracks that people don't like, I think you'll get a kick out of birthday train from guilty gear xrd's story mode. It's not a bad song but it's extremely different from most guilty gear music.
@@babytricep437 I get how it might not be a tradtionally good fight song. But when I played basketball the traditional shit was corny and annoyed me. I was motivated by songs I liked so I kept them in my head.

And its actually the full song if I remember correctly. Once in a blue moon, the game will have issues connecting, and the vocals will start blaring
In Xrd this is actually arcade mode boss theme
it’s Xrd’s crawl, except this one is jacko’s theme instead of nago’s
I started playing Strive on a super trashy PC, hearing half of the song was common place. At least it was and is a fire song lmao

funny coincidence considering that nago’s boss theme is about freedom just like this one

That's what strive does to a mf. Xrd has so many GOATed songs but no one listens to them
Ooh goodbye Tuesday train,
@@jbcjbcat I'm looking for a milestone
Heavy day!

All I can do and boom town blues are also great tracks that aren't metal
truly the best song to play before a fight takes place

oh man, ive been away for a while but this brought me right back!
This song is the theme for the Arcade Boss on Xrd Revelator, which is Jack-o Valentine

This was my favorite GG song, it's so catchy and powerfull

Character themes also lets them do vs themes and interactions like that
IIRC Isuka had stage themes. Overture maybe too
@@tabkg5802 yeah Isuka did, it’s an exception to other games. Overture mainly did because it wasn’t a traditional fighting game
@@millythompsonfromtrigun98anime yeah I just gave examples
The song you were talking about that sounded like Megadeth was "Tsuki No Shihai" its Raven's theme from xrd, I hope you do a reaction to it someday, it's my favorite theme in the game
Ayy more GG. You love to see it
dude i have been waiting for months for you to finally listen to this song :)
Oh? My favorite GGXrd song? Let's go! Hope he enjoys it
One of my favorites from Xrd Rev 2 is Bao Babel Nose. It doesn’t have any vocals, but man if that guitar isn’t killer I don’t know what is.
Oh btw, this song does appear in Strive! It’s the loading screen music when you start a match. But you don’t really get far into the song because it doesn’t take that long to start
Yeah, if you get to the lyrics in loading screen then either you or your opponent is taking long to load.
Please listen to Tsuki no Shihai (Raven's theme) from Revelator!
Guilty Gear bringing the hype as always!
"i dont know if this is a character theme or not" This theme is: menu
Waiting if someone asked Welcome your new overlord from Kirby yet
Crazy thing is you only hear like 3 seconds of this as you play.
its not just the strive loading screen theme, its jack’o’s boss theme kinda like nago’s Crawl
Xrd vocals music? You’re in for the REAL GG stuff now
Yeeesss more Guilty Gear.
Something to react to, all from Pathfinder: Wrath of the righteous:
Kiss the sun and scratch the moon
Our Lady in Shadows
Cosmic balance (aeon path theme)
Wisdom of millenia (gold dragon path theme)
Lord of the dead (lich path theme)
Starward gaze (azata path theme)
The hunger eternal (swarm that walks path theme)
Mythic power
Crusade victory theme

You should definitely react to Alone Infection it's such a good song and my fav Guilty Gear Strive song
Guilty Gear music
There ain’t a single reaction to Divide My Heart on this platform bruh :(
Have you reacted to big blast sonic yet? That one's a classic
You should listen to Crawl from Strive Arcade Mode
You need to hear no tomorrow from metal hellsinger if you like SOAD
You should do the Ultra Necrozma Battle Theme from Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon
Listen to ride the fire pls🙏🙏🙏🙏
If you want, you could react to Freesia, and I'm pretty sure you would be first person on RUclips to react to it.
I BEG OF YOU, please do The One They Call The Witch from Octopath Traveler. We need more opera rock in boss battles T_T
Think you’ll dig the Octopath 2 final boss track then lol
Will you ever react to music from Xenoblade Chronicles X?
brother listen and react to the soul reaver end credits song please
I've gotta check to see if you've reacted to "Town Inside Me" from Strive now.
Bridget's my boy/girl!
How do you not have a reaction to the most popular Strive song by a country mile? It's more pop. But the song is stupid good.
@@10k-Noodles it’s pretty rough, not a good fight song
@@babytricep437 I get how it might not be a tradtionally good fight song. But when I played basketball the traditional shit was corny and annoyed me. I was motivated by songs I liked so I kept them in my head.
