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

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

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.

moments before sex with a man

@@snarkyjoe3556 Yeah! That was nice!

Isn't Slayer Nago's master?

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.

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

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

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

It sounds like "But in eternity, i get used to it", makes more sense aswell.

If his face had heavier shading I guess he could pass for Alucard from the 97 anime.

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, 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

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

Congrats!

Boy? That's a whole man right there.

*man!

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

@@JohnnyGuiltyMan you're right. Just thought I'd give my opinion that Strive's soundtrack is weak.

@@lucifer9032 whatever you gotta tell yourself. I simply prefer XX and Xrd's style of music. No cheesy lyrics and whatnot. As do many.

ill be waiting patiently

Sol is also Slayer's rival, I believe.

@@EripmavsDYraid LET ME COOK 😭

Gabriel when

​@@EripmavsDYraid yep even had a unique intro with order sol back in +r

Bedman is included on his rival list too.

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.

New counter hit just dropped 🔥🔥🔥

@@lunchsimulator3995 Yeah, that's what bite did in Xrd. Made the next hit act like it was a counter

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.

WEVE NEVER BEEN MORE BACK DANDYBROS

Bro thinks he’s Yoshi 💀

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

What about that one fight against bedman?

But its not like it was a Complete fight he didn't go all out yet. But he also had a Rival and that was Potemkins Boss ​@@nickjarred5537

​@@The_WIll_OF_D99 still wonder why they didn't make Gabe playable. Like what did he do to have a rivalry with Slayer
