Another installment of the Ridiculous history series of videos, this time its I-no, and when the twist hits, yeah its all kinda ridiculous. These kind of videos are rare from me since they take a lot more time/effort than a normal video so you guys know I normally don't ask, but likes/shares would be appreciated :)
Hey, great vid. Did not know much about I-No before this. One tangental question, whats the name of the song in the background? Its been stuck in my head for ages.
The extra time and effort definitely does show with just how much of a great watch these videos are alone. I'm new to GG as a whole, and with Strive being delayed, I honestly would love to see more of these on the game's initial returning characters in the meantime so I can have a better idea of what's going on with the cast.
@@i1irevenanti1i90 after gogeta week is done with ill be making another one of these focused on guilty gear yeah. Not sure who just yet but there will be another.
As most ppl probably know, Guilty Gear has a ton of music references and I-nos character design is heavily based on japanese musician Shiina Ringo. She used to play the exact same guitar that I-no uses and also used to have a mole in the same spot, but she got it removed. In my opinion some of the best stuff that Shiina Ringo created are the albums she released with the band Tokyo Jihen, but she's also written a lot of music for other artists and even has two "reimport" albums which consist of her covers of songs of other artists that she had written for them originally. So yes she's pretty prolific!
@@AniVegMinMan I think I read somewhere that the name is a reference to Brian Eno, too. Only the visual designers are clearly inspired by Shiina Ringo. Oh and perhaps some of the suggestive move names, too, since her lyrics are often suggestive as well.
if she was a naturally good person i'd agree, but she's kinda a jerk. I think she will be inheriting the trait of her instant kill, Megalomania. Going crazy with power with the fact she's "the chosen one"
I have been trying to learm GG lore from RUclips for months now. If anyone knows the struggle I give my condolences. This is one of the most difficult pursuits I've ever been on. This lore is hard to find and be consistent.
Check out Tom Oliver's longass lecture on the series. A chunk of it is info taken from Xrd's library because it is the best resource for game lore but he's done a lot if research otherwise and it's just a very entertaining watch the whole way through.
There is a Tumblr page called gear project ran by one of the most knowledgeable people on the series. The community doesn't like him too much though because he only talks about what is cannon.
And now there are articles complaining about how ArcSys handles story modes... smh some people actually want to be interrupted every 5 minutes for a fight in a story.
i saw you tweet the "i cant handle all those balls" screenshot and actually laughed out loud. I was beyond filthy casual at Xrd and it was a shock and delight that i've never seen that before
Fun fact: The guitar that I-no uses is based off of a German electric guitar manufacturing company by the name of Duesenberg. Specifically, the guitar that I-no uses is based off of the Duesenberg Starplayer TV Semi-hollow. They’re very expensive, but I’ve played one at the store before and they are fantastic guitars.
Honestly, I-No alone is tempting me into trying Strive as my first Guilty Gear. Faust's redesign is cool too, as is a bunch of the cast, but 'time-travelling guitar witch hope spirit having a psychotic break' appeals so specifically to me.
@@davidnichol4735 So, I didn't end up playing either of those characters. Faust for general unimpressiveness, but I-No because her playstyle didn' really agree with me. I ended up with Axl, which I think is generally agreed to be the potential choice in that pool that has produced the least good in the universe. But I don't care, because being an enormous troll of a zoner is wonderful and no other game has provided it as well.
Yeah man, bite-size overviews of the cast in Strive I think would be pretty nice for all the newbies to the franchise. I have to admit that even playing the series from the very start that the story is something I usually skip so I even I learned a little bit about my main. Good stuff!
Love the Guilty Gear backstory content. I just picked up Strive so it would be great to see all of their back stories unless this already exists somewhere. Keep uo the good work my friend.
New game plus expo is in a few days from time of me writing this, we might get another look at Ino then!? Also in a few days is the dragon ball battle hour showcasing ssj4 gogeta so watch out for that!
I wonder how I-No will feel in Strive. I never got used to her weired dash in any of the previous games. Definitely gonna give her a try though cause I really love her redesign!
Love the effort you put into these! Helps me learn the crazy lore of this crazy awesome series! She actually has alot more depth to her than i thought at first great vid Rooflemonger!
Down for more lore dumps, I am new to this franchise and I have a soft spot for fighting game silly lore. Was gonna look up stuff but hearing you do it is pog.
She's basically what i'd want in a character (both lore wise and gameplay... MAYBE minus the crazy.) My favorite character in this series, which shows how much I love her as my favorites of GG are also: Sol, Sin, Raven, Jack-O, Jam, Baiken, Chipp, Ramlethal, and THE BOI, Slayer. I-no just slaps TOO hard. Def a 10/10 imo of Fighting game characters. Idk if she's my favorite FG character tbh, as that has Ryu, Evil Ryu, Yun, MK2011 Sonya, and Cerebella from SG. Aside from this unrelated stuff, great video and thanks for covering I-no
In case anyone is interested, her guitar is a Dusenburg Starplayer, specifically hers is a Starplayer II, an older model. But they still make the Starplayer. It is real. You can buy it, in pretty much this exact color.
These videos are so sick, thank you for making another banger! I cant wait to see how Strive's story plays out, especially with Axl getting a grip on his time travel powers. Its definitely gonna be hype as hell.
Yeah, the story going into strive is supposed to be the final showdown between Sol and That Man, but I feel like before its all said and done it will become the Axl show, he's been slowly building up over time.
Really love this type of video! Great work, and would love to see more of this type of thing if there’s a slow patch with not much news or anything pressing to work on. 😃
My friends don't know guilty gear nor even play fighting games at all BUT i will be sharing this with them cuz i want them to know the greatness of my time traveling, guitar wielding witch *I-NOOOOOOOOOOO*
I love these videos, found you when the beta came out and I have been binging your shit big time after the beta. As an ino player who only played her becase I wanted to be her actully knowing what she is about is really great for me haha, keep up the great work. Looking forward to strive and the boost it will give your channel.
please more! please please please! more guilty gear before strive releases because I actually really love the GG story by man is it hard to find and understand. another ep on a GG character would be great or if you did a longer video covering lots of characters or even a story recap of different games before strive comes out. GG is a unique franchise in regards to how weird, deep and scattered it's lore is.
THATS. MY. GIRL!!! God i remember when I was like 11 at an burger joint with a single arcade cabinet, a classic GG cabinet, and immediately I picked Axl cause Kusarigama are badass, and subsequently got my shiz kicked in by I-no. and that was my first time ever playing an Arcsys game. AND NOW 13 YEARS LATER SHE'S BACK FOR STRIVE LOOKING MORE FABULOUS THAN EVER BEFORE
good stuff! I'd love to see an SNK character next time--my vote goes to rugal bernstein since he's got a Thing for detonators and vehicles named Noah. also maybe the NESTS bosses bc MAN
I liked this video PURELY for the winamp reference. Not saying everything else was bad not at all, it's just I usually only like a video for something important. AND THAT REFERENCE WAS IMPORTANT.
Is it actually implied that the future is “bad”. From what I understand, and from her words, she just describes it as boring. That can be really subjective. Like what if world peace was achieved and she thinks that’s boring? Edit: I’m getting into the lore rn so I’m genuinely asking
In the future she comes from all humanity was wiped by Dizzy, she's literaly the only one that exists in the timeline she comes from, so yeah, you can imagine why living in a world like that could end up being quite boring.
@@HiImDaisy That was the timeline where she never met the Jellyfish Pirates nor Ky, so she ends up losing all faith in humans and decides to rebel against them and avenge her mother together with Testament. In that timeline to be precise Ky died, which is why they weren't able to know each other there.
I've already done a few others on a few GG chars. These vids take a lot longer to make than the usual fare I do so I don't really think I could get around to everyone in anything approaching a timely manner. That said ideally there would be a few more
The most ridiculous thing about her is that she plays a hollow-body single-cut guitar with a Bigsby but it's a bolt-on instead of a set neck. What the hell?
10 min version is literally impossible without just skipping most of the story. People been asking and I gotta wrap my head around it if its feasible without just making my own 3 hour video.
Interesting, the Fate series have something similar to her. Its humanity's strive to survive, called Gaia, or refered as the World commonly too. Its basically just that, ensures that mankind survives from its own mistakes, and makes sure of this by employing Counter Guardians. Basically notable humans who made an eternal contract to serve Gaia and ensure its purpose, but it kinda turns them into mercinaries when you think about it, with a fucked up mentality since they have to die over and over again to keep working, while killing millions of people that were thought to be dangerous.

If she is the embodiment of humanities hope/will or whatever, the line "Any of you think you can stop me?" is actually kind of positive.

Use the fan wiki. GG's lore is relatively easy to understand. But Blazblue's... Now that is complex...
My thirst for Strive story mode grows ever stronger.
And now there are articles complaining about how ArcSys handles story modes... smh some people actually want to be interrupted every 5 minutes for a fight in a story.
“She’s just a much sexier Bill Murray”

"unlocking the power of the Winamp equalizer" also made me literally laugh out loud...im so old...
I’m guessing that’s a reference to something?
Huge fan of the Ridiculous history series! Great work
Yes same, more please!
Same here, these are the type of videos I would rewatch in the future

Well, alright then lmfao
Playing Happy Chaos arcade mode in Strive after the story says I-No is still alive, yay
I always wanted a Guilty Gear Vs Darkstalkers game just to have, if nothing else, I-No and Lord Raptor team up to rock their opponents to death.
At least we're getting Guilty Gear Vs Samurai Showdown!
@@WardofSquid true, but as a Darkstalkers fanatic, is it too much to ask Capcom to let SNK use Bishamon or Donovan?

Were you disappointed with both those characters?
@@davidnichol4735 So, I didn't end up playing either of those characters. Faust for general unimpressiveness, but I-No because her playstyle didn' really agree with me.
I ended up with Axl, which I think is generally agreed to be the potential choice in that pool that has produced the least good in the universe. But I don't care, because being an enormous troll of a zoner is wonderful and no other game has provided it as well.
@@EinDose I see, you chose the dark side. Can't say I blame you, but don't mind me if I hate you lol
You either die a rushdown, or live long enough to see yourself become the trolling zoner.
The real life version of her guitar, Marlene is the Surf Green colored Duesenberg Starplayer TV which costs about $3000. But it does look beautiful.
And here she is, slamming it into the concrete on a regular basis. Very responsible, isn’t she?

Yo roofle video that isn't a tutorial.
Chilling and Chatting about characters maybe some opinions and bias. I like it. Would mind more of these

And your head will be too deep in the GUITAR by the time she’s done with you.

I’ve been playing Ino in Rev 2 to prep for her strive debut. Perfect time for this to come out, thanks man :)
Love her new design, she totally rocking that *n no pun intended*
That quadruple overhead in her Strive trailer is gonna open me up like crazy.
Great video! Your sense of humor definitely helps make the complicated lore more accessible. I hope we see more ridiculous history videos!
Always love to see the creators I love explaining complicated things so that I don't have to spend hours trolling wikis. Keep it up!

That was very interesting to watch about my favorite character from GG. Good job lad, fair play to ya.
You missed the part where her Backyard ID at creation overlapped with one that already existed, bringing Axl Low into the future

Conspiracy theory, I-No was Karla in dark souls 3 and saw the dark end. Its cannon now
I-NO is one of those character's if you lose to i don't get mad at expect her when she's was a boss
So she’s like an unwilling savior...oof.
She may go the Mayadere Anime stereotype route, starting off as a typical villain then falls in love with someone or something and becomes good.
