“I’ve gotten good at holding back.”
Oh god he’s back.
Holding back but not down back, just sweep him lol.
@@KarmaSpaz12 slayer 6p clashes with most sweeps, sometimes it counter hits them
I feel like this is a inside joke for Slayer mains as we do not know how to block (a.k.a. hold back) lol
And right after that he goes into his Dead on Time super punch LUL
We are so, so, so incredibly without a doubt beyond any questioning, BACK
Going from the most unhealthiest relationship with ABA to the most stable and happiest relationships with Slayer in one season is crazy.
The funny thing is that Slayer knows ABA and Paracelsus personally and ENCOURAGES their relationship 😂 He was the one who told ABA where to go to put Paracelsus into a body back in GGXX. If you actually read some of Slayer’s quotes to other characters and mirror matches with himself, he is extremely similar to ABA in how jealous he gets for Sharon.
@@ElementroarSharon's the one that normally gets jealous for him.
@@truegraham6780 they both get jelly, check his quotes. He got said Sharon wouldn’t fall for his mirror match; and he got jealous of Axl and accused him of looking at Sharon. When he fights Zappa, he says word for word that “obsession is also a form of love” and then addresses Sharon.
@@Elementroar I know it's both. Sharon seems to take it to another level though.
Season 3 Pass is all about relationships it seems - Johnny trying to woo all the women while managing a complicated relationship with May, Elphelt manically trying to FIND someone, ABA and her questionable relationship with Paracelsus and now Slayer with a healthy relationship with his immortal wife. T H E M E S
I love how the characters in season 3 have been, in order, the ultimate straight man, the ultimate straight woman, an incredibly devoted wife, and an incredibly devoted husband.
Elphelt is not straight she has win quotes in xrd that imply it
Bachelor/Committed is probably a more accurate dichotomy
@@swag66_ Cry about it
@@swag66_True! She was literally staring at baikens boobs in that one win quote. Bisexual icon.
@@swag66_ Yeah Elphelt is marriage sexual. She doesn't care about gender, just wants to marry somebody. Anybody. Even her sisters aren't off the table.
His intro went from "Gimme your blood real quick so I can win this fight," to "Finish your tea, my queen. I've got this."
I'm sure it was because of the west that he no longer drains his wife and tosses her aside...
Maybe he already got blood from, well, some husband-and-wife activity earlier, hence why they're taking a tea break, and Slayer gotta make it quick so they can have a Round 2.
@@luislee3247 you're weird
@@thegreatcharles69 Come on, they're married for God knows how long. Sex in the inevitable.
bad ending: he drinks her period blood
OH HIS VOICE ACTOR IS PEAK WE ARE SO BACK
WE NEVER LEFT
Both JB Blanc and Takaya Hashi are top tier picks for playing Slayer, though I'll always miss Iemasa Kayumi's performance.
He sounds less like Sean Connery this time though
Also Kano "me Sausage" from mortal Kombat. Kinda unbelivable lol
@@vulcan422RIP iemasa a.k.a the father. No Wonder he was the choice for Old Slayer. But I like Moriarty and Paradyne Fludd as Slayer
So what you’re telling me, is that not only did my Xrd main receive a banger theme song, not only did he come back with some glow, but he goes naked during his meter move? Fuck. Yeah.
Naked AND young, yes
😫
Under the Heavens
There can be no higher stakes
Let's go commando
Me replaying his strip to see if I can see anything interesting.
You just had to make it weird.
“How many days till the theme drops? Well, I’ll be waiting patiently.”
Yeah
What's it called?
Ups and Downs
Nah, I'm waiting very impatiently, I want it asap
The wait is truly bullshit blazing
Slayer: *powerstrutting towards the Player* "My lovely wife is waiting. Let's make this quick." I fucking love the delivery of that line.
0:08
0:53 GOOD GRIEF HE'S NAKED
"OMG. You could grind meat on those things."
Sharon: Something is piling and it’s not his Pile Bunker
"OH NO, HE'S HOT"
He is Guilty Gear Soriz at this rate LUL
EL-EGANT!
0:48 Just two vampires chilling
Glad to see no vampire on vampire violence.
I love that synced finger snap. I like that Nago and Slayer are just like "Yeah you're cool bro"
moments before sex with a man
@@snarkyjoe3556 Yeah! That was nice!
Isn't Slayer Nago's master?
The “loving your wife is gay” crowd been real quiet since this dropped
Probably because Slayer beat they asses...
0:47 Nago and Slayer both clicking their fingers in synchrony lol!
The devs had to time that one in sync looool,so many bloppers Iam sure recording it XD
it's snapping... please remember it is snapping lol.
@@Windsuke Oh yeah, it was off the top of my tongue at the time, just couldn't remember so I used _"Clicking"_ instead, thanks lol!
DANDYISM!
Slayer getting naked in the punch motion is actually a call back to the early concept of Mappa Hunch, where, as "mappa" literally means "naked" in Japanese, he dashes forward so fast that he leaves his clothes behind.
It's called Mach Punch in Isuka's manual, so I always assumed Mappa Hunch was a translation error they kept.
Then the underwear should've been good too, bad game design smh.
I can't believe he punches his own clothes off. That's peak right there
@@artemi7The outfit couldn't keep up Dandyism, what a chad
well not exactly
They really slayed his new design, huh?
MY MAN IS ROCKING THAT HAIR STYLE!
He looks like he’s gonna touch me in a way I won’t like
He looks like he’s on EDP type business
@@ObiAlmighty???
@@ObiAlmighty bro he looks fabulous not ridiculous
HE'S STILL SCOTTISH BOYS, WE ARE SO FUCKING *BACK*
Enjoy
Why are you acting like you know anything about gg shut up lol
@@goby1764 What's up?
@@goby1764I don't see what's wrong with that
@@funkyboi3987 Cause every time one of these trailers comes out posers like to act like they care about gg. Despite strive being the worst gg game
Can I just say how awesome it is that Strive is nearly 3 years old and Arcsys isn’t slowing down one bit with supporting the game? Normally a fighting game either stops or releases a new version around this time, but Strive just keeps on trucking with new characters and features. It’s becoming one of my favorite fighting games ever, and I can’t wait for the 3v3 mode.
his voice actor is KILLING it omg
That's JB Blanc for you.
@@MimebladeGMailno, that's "Settle for Me Sausage" Kano for you. Lol.
How can someone voice the Unliving Pcture of Dandy and at the same time the Me Sausage Picture of Bogan? Lol
@@turinmormegil7715 He was Slayer first 😉
He was Walter first, from vampire slayer to vampire Slayer 🤓
he is slaying it
It’s amazing how cool simply putting an overcoat over a characters shoulders can make them
Scientifically, the only thing cooler than a cape is an overcoat draped over the shoulders
Ikr it’s so damn cool
No fucking way this works for everyone
Gonna try that irl lets see if it truly works
@@monikaisdonewiththeinterne2039 Well... Did it?
@@violetprimordial1067 well i got more waves than usual, but it doesnt sound like it worked well
...
Maybe the overcoat needs to be longer?
0:43
that wasn't a counter, that was a **UNIVERSE**
I'M THE LIGHTBRINGER
I'M THE FUCKING UNIVERSE
O
M
G
XD
Pretty sure slayer's bloodsucking universe grants a guaranteed counter and damage boost
It's so sick that they gave the guaranteed counterhit that unique text
I love that in his intro, Slayer doesn't feed on his Sharon. That always left a bad taste in my mouth (No pun intended) and instead doesn't want to keep her waiting for tea time. Very wholesome and I also love that Gone With the Wind win pose with her.
all the "flattening fetish" fans who played xrd disagree with u
TBF, she’s immortal and shit so she _can_ handle it.
Still nice to see.
@@AuntBibby And?
@@ShinRyojin you know how nagoriyuki has blood rage? cononically slayer would too if it wasn't for sharon. sharons the goat
@@AuntBibbyflattening fetish is not something I ever expected to read but it’s hilarious.
This is one of the rare times where a Strive design was *more* intricate and complicated compared to the original. It really makes his animations stand out way more, I'm real excited to see more of him!
Woah, didn’t expect to find you in here! Fully agreed, the strive design and new VA activates all of my neurons
bro literally just put on a coat lmao that's it
I wouldn't say that the strive designs were really less complex than their previous ones, just more grounded in reality (sol, i-no, axl etc), some being mostly unchanged from their older design (baiken, Johnny, jack-o). In conclusion slayer goes hard and this design is his best one hands down my lord it's so good
@@ax9583 "grouned in reality" these are 200 years in the future after humanity abandoned technology, that's why 90% of the redesigns suck balls by being incredibly generic
@@Nukesnipe ITS SUCH A GOOD COAT THO
I really love how the overcoat is standing in for a traditional vampire cape, with the whole popped collar + black outer/red inner color scheme it's got going on. Looks elegant and dandy as hell!
The coat is such an awesome design addition, he probably has one of the best redesigns in Strive
HE KEEPS THE CONNERY ACCENT YESSSSS
I MEANT IMPRESSION. GOT SO EXCITED I FORGOT THE WORD I MEANT LOL
For a second there I was wondering why you weren't just saying "Scottish".
But imagine if the Japanese voice actor also did a Connery impression; basing it off his simply impeccable Japanese in "You Only Live Twice".
Not Shown In Trailer:
Your health bar getting DESTROYED.
Rivals Potemnkin Buster
I mean who can't do that in this game? But from what I've heard Slayer is built *different* so it's probably going to absolutely annihilate you if he so much as breathes in your general direction...
0:41 he's even *more* cartoony and Darkstalkers-y in his animations we're so fucking back
Plus the fact that his two supers change his appearance presumably for the entire round
This man is a walking Dimitri homage
@@Shuttergun1I don't think his cinematic super will change him for the full round but the other one totally could. Considering that once of his powers is literally manipulating his own clothing, I wouldn't be surprised if he went back to normal after both of them
Darkstalkers
@@insertcleverjoke8383Suspecting a sort of install on one of 'em.
@@SeanTheShinigami Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see one, but I'm not confident it'll happen. Shame we have to wait so long to find out
Johnny Elphelt Aba and slayer back to back, it’s like they’re catering to me
I know this specific outcome won't happen (since I predict Raven and Malcolm Myers will be Season 5), but if we get Slayer, Venom, Zappa, Raven, and Malcolm Myers back to back, then it'll be specifically catering to me
@@Demi-Joker Season 4. This is still season 3 lol
ROBERT KYLE
I BELIEVE I HOPE I BELIEVE I HOPE I BELIEVE I HOPE
ELBOW SHOTGUN
Still no Kliff...
@@RetroOnly32 Are you expecting Kliff's ghost? He's been dead for a while lol
0:29
Why is nobody talking about THIS moment? They look so deliciously good together, and the way he pulls her out of the coat and then holds her like that is-ungh! 🥴😭 I want to be done like that too!
Morticia and Gomez vibes, very lovely 😊
I didn't think I'd start simping for Slayer today, but here I am, simping. For Slayer.
Because most of the people in this chat are either zoomers, independents, or people who just played video games all day and never learned what romance is.
True gentleman and ladies are a dying breed. sorries
@@nekoraver6179What pointlessly spiteful and insipid thing to comment. It's as if you woke up today and chose to talk like a dollar store Ben Shapiro.
@@nekoraver6179This comment is drenched in the bitterness of some who’s just projecting
0:57 I like that he got Younger after consuming blood. I wonder if that will be something that carries over for the rest of the match like Zeku's Strider form in SFV.
It *looks* like it's there as a setup for a super?
Like whatever he's about to hit some poor fool with might knock him back to older, after.
THE DRIP
THE WALK
THE SWAGGER

THE DANDYISMS
How should I say this.......
I GOT ......A BONER
Same mah dude
Boner.
BOKKI SHIMASHATA
Fr bestie, why are vampires so hot in this game😭
Bro young Slayer might have just given me a Bi awakening
I can't believe we got the dysfunctional couple AND the functional couple in Season 3
🎵 The darkness is pierced by the morning sun, but beaten to a knee, I get used to it.
Surrounded…by precious things…the heart turns into stone!
Hardly a proper bedtime story, happy end is just a sad short detour! Life is a journey, not a destination, enjoy the ride…with ups and downs! 🎶
It sounds like "But in eternity, i get used to it", makes more sense aswell.
THEY SOMEHOW UPGRADED HIS DESIGN YEAAAAAH
_THE COAT IS SO COOL_
ALSO HOLY SHIT YOUNG SLAYER
DEADASS I DID NOT KNOW I NEEDED TO SEE SLAYER SHIRTLESS BUT I CAN'T GET OVER THIS
Sol: "You're never gonna *actually* retire at this point, will you old man?"
Happy the Dandy Vampire returns along with his poems with a new design, and his theme Ups and Downs satisfies my taste for *freeform jazz* & metal.
Nago and Slayer vibing gave me life.
Also his theme song sounds like it's gonna be one of the best in the game.
0:59 scott the woz if he locked tf in
OH GOD HE’S BEAUTIFUL
Absolutely
Without question 😮
How do they so consistently take 10/10 character designs and turn them into 20/10 character designs
DAISUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RELEASE UPS AND DOWNS EARLY, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
LEAKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS
LEAK THIS THEME AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
I COULDN'T EVEN PILEBUNKER TO THIS! 6P'D IMMEDIATELY!
CLEAN UP ON AISLE AMBER FEST
THEY ACTUALLY DID THE YOUNG SLAYER FROM THE CONCEPT ART NO WAY
That glimpse of young Slayer makes him look a bit like...Hellsing's Alucard?
If his face had heavier shading I guess he could pass for Alucard from the 97 anime.
He's a real fucking vampire now
That face looks straight up like Belial from GBVS lmao
Everything about Strive Slayer screams seduction to me, his DILF range is off the charts
"Hey kids wanna see a dead body?!"
@@whyareyoureadingthissmh I'd bet he used to go on very enthusiastic walks through the woods back then lol
Gosh , “Walking straight into Camera” intro look so overwhelming badass
0:08
I love how Slayer just gets cooler with every game he’s in.
Slayer biting on his opponent just to make him younger becomes more dandier than ever!
I never thought Sharon couldn’t resist his rizz and his Dandyism.
He looks like Anji there.
Hmmmmmm
where chops tho

his goatee makes him look like the postal guy

IT SHOULD'VE BEEN M
My favorite thing about Slayer is how much he and his wife love each other after all these years
"How many times have you watched this since it released??"
"Yes."
Bro’s Imma be honest, can’t even wait to hear Slayer’s full theme
I really hope it won’t have a stupid minute and a half breakdown that kills the flow like a ton of other Strive songs. Mirror of the World, The Circle, and Symphony get kneecapped and interrupted for no reason for a slow chunk that goes on way too long
@@malikoniousjoebro, those are the best part of the song. I’m praying for this song’s sax solo.
@@TerraKnyte_64 If it’s as good as Jack A Dandy’s sax solo and doesn’t slow to a crawl with some braindead lyrics we’ll be golden, but I absolutely can’t stand the slower breakdowns of so many other Strive songs just for how long they are. Mirror of the World has a fun intro, but it last roughly a minute in a game with rounds on a 60-90 second timer. Then that final bit where it sounds like Kermit is singing both sounds unpleasant and interrupts the rest of the flow for what feels like another eternity. Symphony’s breakdown is just a retro music reference that again kills the momentum the rest of the song delivers, and The Circle was so incredibly cut in the initial Bedman? trailers that it ruined the final full version of the song for me. It’s not that Strive has bad music, but it’s far more experimental and self indulgent than Daisuke Ishiwatari’s older works so while you get higher highs you get way lower lows and often both in the same song. His older works are just more consistent so if I like a part of an Xrd or XX track I find myself safely enjoying the whole song with little interruption or desire to fast forward.
@malikoniousjoe That's fair, but in the end it just comes down to preference. Some people prefer Strive's themes over Xrd, and there is nothing wrong with that.
@@malikoniousjoe it also seems like you hate lyrics
His new theme is already killing it!
Hey, good to see you, how are you? You haven't uploaded for quite a long time
@@toughbreaker3378 I’ve been working on 3 projects that I haven’t finished and I’m pursuing my college degree as an animator, practicing on drawing, visualizing, and designing as a first-year student so I haven’t uploaded videos for a while.
@@gmvchill2182 I see, I hope you will succeed in the study
I hope you will succeed at college, because this theme would definitely be great for an GMV
"Young slayer is not real, he cannot harm you!!!"
Young Slayer: 0:59
I'd like to see how Sol will react to Slayer's "retirement" once again
Wow, Season 3 just went 4/4 with absolute banger themes
Lmao if you say so. Strive's soundtrack is weak.
@@MrAllBlack015 Well it's all an opinion and up to taste, isn't? Same goes for gameplay changes, I personally like how Strive Johnny works but some hate the lack of coins and fast MF cancels
Strive Songs are the best
Honestly the only reason people say they like xrd more is because it has more music that and they are blinded by nostalgia.
@@JohnnyGuiltyMan you're right. Just thought I'd give my opinion that Strive's soundtrack is weak.
So I think his command grab will grant him access to that “universe” counter hit
Which sounds absolutely terrifying for a game like strive
They’ll be seeing stars alright
That’s how it was in Xrd
In previous games, command grab guaranteed a counter hit on your next successful hit. Looks like they are just making it clear when it triggers
@@xxNightxTrainxx Honestly I vibe with it, the COUNTER text is such a big part of Strive's visual identity and it's cool to see them giving a character some way to make it there own. I really hope that the purple screen effect is part of it too
@@insertcleverjoke8383 It seems like it will be in the Game...
There is no reason to edit it only into the Trailer, and it is visually completely in line with what's already in Strive.
If there is one thing I hate about waiting for characters to release it's the pain of having to wait for their full theme as well. The snippets are always a tease of something you know you'll love but it is torture having to wait.
Guilty gear is the only game that makes me hyped for the new ost as much as the new character
"How many years until our rematch? Well I'll be waiting patiently..."
Gabriel was his rival... 👀
Sol is also Slayer's rival, I believe.
@@Character_Selection_Screen LET ME COOK 😭
Gabriel when
@@Character_Selection_Screen yep even had a unique intro with order sol back in +r
Bedman is included on his rival list too.
He feels so massive and strong now in comparison of previous appearance, THAT'S IS AMAZING
It's both him getting the "Spooky vampire lord" silhouette from that coat,
And also him being drawn like an 80s anime guy, but attractive. Like holy hell his muscles have muscles.
He also seems absolutely more manic. His face in some of those frames is so demented and I love it.
I need this theme fully uploaded asap omg, the rock and jazz mixing so perfectly, Love it!

Damn Slayer has the drip ngl. Bro got released looking like a Mishima
0:27 this is the hottest thing I've ever seen in a fighting game.
I seriously need to start playing Guilty Gear again because hot damn I'm already likin this guy's style
0:43 i am scared at what universe could mean
Basically when he gets a command throw his next hit becomes a heavy counter hit. Looks like they just changed the wording so it doesn't confuse new players on why they're getting counter hit if they not even pressing a button
In Rev 2, they made his bite command grab ("Bloodsucking Universe") grant a brief self-buff, causing his next on-hit special move to become a forced auto-counterhit (on a character who, even pre-Strive, had some massive fucking counterhit starters).
his command grab, bloodsucking universe, grants him a buff that makes his next attack act like a counterhit. in xrd, this was only the case for a set duration after the grab, and it didn't apply if the opponent blocked, so i imagine it'll be a similar situation here
0:23 those kicks are one of the best animations in strives
Bro thinks he’s Yoshi 💀
I'm going to send SO MANY Chipps to the shadow realm with this one is not even funny
ill be waiting patiently
I love the "Enjoy the ride" part of the song so much
