Fighting game music is so damn good in general! You should also hear some music from KOF, they have some really amazing and different music like this track from 98 ruclips.net/video/RZgEQ2ejZKM/видео.html Anyways, Slayer new track is so good, I always enjoy the analysis of the music you do!
I love when Daisuke gets unconventional and starts fusing genres. Despite the heavy energy, you never feel like you've lost the swing style and jazz soul and it's just so cool. This song is a killer. Daisuke and Naoki is just dishing out one banger after another
Love the shortness of this compared to other themes, when you consider what the song's about; everyone else's themes are about their trauma, issues, the bad times and generally trying to overcome their struggles. Gender identity, unrequited love, past mistakes, questioning existence, etc etc.......and then this theme comes in, jazzy and happy, just screaming 'Life's good, what a gas 🎉😃!'
Yeah, part of me wants to say that it's criminal it's such a short tune, but the style being reminiscent of old-world music, and the length of the song could also be a bit of a metaphor in relation to the lyrics.

I just appreciate that Daisuke continues to just ooze his creative juices over everything he creates, like he really just let's his creative muse paint with finger paints and creates the best damn fusion music you've ever heard in your life. Screw genres where we're going we don't need no genres.
I love how delicately you listen to tracks! I'm glad you take the time to point out so many details that I don't even acknowledge on a casual listen, it always makes me appreciate those finer parts in a different light. Thanks for your breakdowns & insight on these tracks!
This came out literally today, the latest DLC character, yet another one returning from the older games. Funny thing about this song is it takes the title of the shortest character theme in Strive now. Only 2 other songs on the OST even go below 4 minutes. Some people are disappointed there isn't more but I think the theme more than does its job, and being short and straightforward seems pretty fitting for Slayers carefree, nonchalant attitude. Slayer is a dandy vampire, and the original creator of the assasins guild, with noble intentions, but soon he saw the guild devolve into criminal activity so he left out of disgust. His strength is comical, it's hilarious how powerful he is. He can uppercut someone so hard that their body exits the milky way galaxy in seconds. He holds back massively 99% of the time but the strength he does exert is still tremendous compared to the rest of the cast. He loves finding people who can push him to his limit, and he's also very giving with praise for anyone who can impress him at all. His wifes name is Sharon and she's kind of just, immune to damage? Sort of? I think specifically she might be immune to consequence/continuity, due to her messed up universal ID, but that's kinda just speculation. Either way Slayer can suck her dry of blood until she's just a bag of skin and she'll be fine a moment later. Their relationship is super cute, they both love teatime and haiku. Ups and Downs lyrics are largely just his outlook on life after living so long. He's not quite as jaded as other immortal beings, and he urges living in the moment, not worrying too hard about where you're headed. Just do your best and you'll get where you're going, no need to rush. That one verse about the platinum knife and whatnot I think might be him telling about an assassination he committed? I think Orangeys lyrics are a bit incorrect in that section also, I think CapnBookers lyric video is more accurate, but we'll have to see if Naoki decides to share the official lyrics again.
I think the lyrics in the platinum knife part are talking about how an old friend of his had no enjoyment in life despite having a lot of valuable things. Matches the sentiment brought forward in the "surrounded by precious things, the heart turns into stone" lines. Just more of a reinforcement on how slayer believes living in the moment is the most important thing to enjoying life. Basing this on the capnbookers video myself since I feel those lyrics are a bit more accurate as well. Obviously, this is up to interpretation between people and also could change once we have the official lyrics.
In universe, Slayer is a vampire and is a retired leader of the Assassin's Guild, enjoying his retirement by spending time with his wife and writing poetry (how good his poetry is is up for debate). He is one of the most powerful characters in the story, and can (relatively) easily beat anyone in a fight, but he enjoys giving people a chance by purposefully holding back. His theme works so well for him. There's this smooth cool jazz throughout it all, but there's this power that's consistently just there, sometimes under the surface but it also just rises to the top at moments too.
Last Horizon is just so… dandy. He hits them with just enough force for them to make one smooth lap around the planet and land softly on the ground afterwards
So early on this song wow. The fun part is that this song is the shortest of Strive songs, and it's still more than 3 minutes, enough for Slayer to finish the rounds.
every time, drumrolltony helps me appreciate all the layers in guilty gear music, making me love them more. this is a brand new track, so I get to go into it with a better understanding of the composition at the start. hellyea
Really like these reactions because it’s like showing my music teacher my favorite music and then hearing them break down the oddities, it’s really engaging Maybe I just feel like a little kid again
Slayer's themes are always great, I said with confidence this would be a banger even before it came out, it was bound to be, hopefuly some day you can take the time to listen to themes of the older guilty gear games, each Slayer Theme is awesome! just as your content, great as always!
@@DrumRollTonyReacts first game came out in 98! but Slayer for examples debuted in 2002, it's an old franchise but it got famous with the last entry, and in this entry is when Daisuke went really crazy with the soudtrack too! but the past games still have intresting songs even tho most are only instrumental
If people want to listen to the song without pausing, they can just go to so many other videos of the full song. The people who want the analysis won't ever mind you stopping. Also the comment about letting the song breathe for a moment made me realise that I absolutely love songs that do that. All gas is good and all that but breaks can be fun too. Leads to better times at times
Fantastic video, and mad props for getting this reaction out so fast. I saw the preview for your reaction before I had even had a chance to listen to the song (which is, as you correctly identified, "killer")!
This character always had very Jazzy themes that felt very different. They're all great. if you ever get the occasion to listen to Jack-a-Dandy, it's a masterpiece for that.
It's so funny, I listened to this song first and I straight up didn't even acknowledge the trumpet solo, I just got into the vibe and then the song was over. Breaking it down slowly helped me appreciate the trumpet solo lmao.
Ty for dropping this so fast cause its how i learned the song had dropped and im glad ya enjoyed and even more glad that you feel find goin back when ya want to cause ofnthe gg community
Tony, I have read on previous videos comments you once mentioned that you dont like to pause much because people click off but please good sir KEEP PAUSING Your insight on music is invaluable to me and many more people and if you paused less it would suck. Those who dont watch the whole thing are missing out
Hey, I love your reactions. It's really cool to see a music specialist react to some cool musics from niches like games and animes. So, I have a couple of recomendations for you. First, from Hades, Good Riddance. From Transistor, We All Become. Finally, from Alan Wake 2, Herald of Darkness (maybe you already heard of/someone already recommended)
I'm gonna have to look up what you mean by "1997 red hot chili peppers". Kinda familiar w the band but not to the point I can pinpoint their style by year. How do you do this goddamn wow
As a drummer myself, I appreciate a professional breaking down songs so it’s easier to learn the song. As the next sing request, I hope you can do Chipp’s theme “Play the Hero”.
The chorus is missheard pretty bad. "Hardly the stuff of bedtime stories Happy endings really just a snapshot in time Life is a journey Not a destination Enjoy the ride With ups and downs"
I've loved GG music since the early days, but man... I have always been irked by vocal tracks. Even on the official covers with native English-speaking singers, it just bothers me. Hashimoto is a good singer, but I think the vocal line and lyrics just aren't doing him any favors. Some of the songs get by, but this one really bothers me. Takes me out of it.
I know I say it everytime... but damn this was SO GOOD!

Definitely never feel bad about pausing, these songs are so dense and full of meaning that it would absolutely be a shame to not discuss them.
I feel like a better way to go about it is listen without stopping, then rewatch for analysis

You finish a ft3 in 3 mins without skipping any cutscenes even. Game is stupidly fast and swingy and I hate it
@@roar104 that's FG for you, it's usually very sided on 1 round and it's fast, especially Guilty Gear

It's specifically the really fuzzy, down-tuned, almost bassy "chukk-ah-wak-ah" guitar, that's trademark early RHCP
Apparently the old opening overlaps perfectly with this one to make one complete song
Feeling dandy
"Heartbeat Stopper" should be "Hardly the stuff off..."
This is the grandfather lyric video lol, official lyrics weren't released I don't think
