Fun Fact: The voice actress of Baiken in this game is the same as May. She is still the voice of the anchor girl too only Baiken have been through 3 or 4 VAs.

I swear the stuff max says can be sold on shirts. "She tried to murder me while I tried to murder her, I didn't like that"

Seeing Sol's ending and us now having Strive's story has me thinking about a certain character's theme: "It took me 10 years to find the answers to something, I forgot about it in 2 seconds."

Max finally reaching Baiken only to get insta killed immediately was absolutely hilarious. The first Guilty Gear might be extremely janky but man is it janky in a fun way.

Remember how Baiken was inspired by Rurouni Kenshin because Daisuke couldn't tell if Kenshin was a guy or girl? Or how people used to theorize that Baiken was That Man to explain her secret character status here? not me, i wasn't born back then lol

Imagine doing this on OG hardware with no save states "Alright we almost there. One more fight and we're at Baiken." AI: HAHA Instakill go BRRT!

16:45 The build-up to the Justice boss fight just goes in so hard. Never fails to hype me up

Justice is like a mix of Evangelion, Xenogears and an 80's rockstar.

You should play as her. After unlocking her battle, she is available for playing in versus mode. There you can see for herself her moves and everything ^^

That first round was the most Biaken thing ever. You aren't even WORTHY of fighting her. She just kills you outright.

I remember seeing an image of baiken in a GamePro magazine describing everybody's relationship or story, and she had just a question mark with a poor quality picture. I always assumed she would be some super creepy character

Those reloads were like Sol asking Baiken "Ive come to bargain"

The intro to Justice in this game has to be one of the coolest intro to a boss

“It’s not a Legacy.” PLEASE DO A FIGHTER LEGACY FOR BAIKEN!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT!! And dam, she had a huge GROWTH SPURT throughout the series!! 😳

I just realized the “destroyed” on May’s instakill in Japanese is Desutoroi in romaji, lol.

Every single time Max gets Instant Kill-ed by the AI within literal seconds of the first round, which costs him the entire match (because that's how IKs worked in GG1), I just instantly think of Simmons laughing the way he always does whenever one of his buds gets killed in a hilarious way. It works every single time.

They were right about each game braiken “grows” alot

I busted my ass off trying to get to and defeat Justice without using a Continue, only to pretty much destroy Baiken first try. Same thing happened when I did it again with Ky.

Baiken's flirtation devices have come a long way.

“I think testament will be in strive retooled with a new design” 🤔😏

"May wasn't so bad before, right?" May: Bye, bye! *insta kills*

23:30 Sol: Exists Baiken: DIE 1000 DEATHS

And here you can see the basic kit she has in Strive. Yonzansen, HS Kabari [Or Kamaitachi here], Tatami Mat, and three slash super. With Strive returning her to this state with new additions I’m hoping she feels great to play

Back of original GG box: - Cool Metal Soundtrack - People Have Swords (One Chick Uses Her Hair As A Sword) - Delightfully Buckfusted

The amount of laughter that moment at 8:18 caused me it's insane!

Yes, Max. I do remember her being a boss. As played this as a little kid... And boy was it difficult for my little kid skills!

That first artwork really shows how inspired by Kenshin she was from Rurouni Kenshin...it's a classic anime and manga, and a good one so I ain't go no complaints about that..also..holy shit she went for an Instakill out the gate..and got it.

God this game is so so broken it’s incredible, like just check out the wiki and learn about all the busted shit. Overheads that whiff on crouching characters, Ky’s instant kill chains into itself on block and ya know instantly kills on hit, and if they cancel the instant kill on hit it still has enough stun to combo into another instant kill. Justice’s literally everything but especially the full screen unavoidable laser that combos into itself on block or hit. Tons of moves have random invulnerability frames, 0 recovery or both. There’s so much more and it’s hilarious, genuinely the most broken game I’ve ever seen and it’s not close lmao

16:58 nostradamus

I love ultra secret bosses/characters in old fighting games. Those that make you really work for the privilege.

What's funny is that looking at her actual art, she's still pretty dang big. I don't think people realize this.

My first Guilty Gear was X, and I fell in love with Baiken. Then went back and found a copy of the first Guilty Gear. I spent an entire day just trying to unlock her until I finally, finally did. Been a Baiken main since.

I love her new design, but damn the old one just radiates badassery.

16:32 *SHINRYUUKEN!!* 🔥🐉✊ 17:21 Wow, _Vision of Escaflowne..._ That took me on quite the nostalgia trip. My mother and I loved the series! (Even though story-wise Mom preferred the movie retelling...)

26:06 The way she just jabs with the hilt of the sword is badass to me. xD

I know this vid is supposed to be about Baiken, but I just have to say that god damn Justice is so fucking cool, what a rad character.

Max playing GG for Playstation Legacy: 'This is look like a fuckin Overwatch stage dude.' Max playing GG for Baiken Boss: 'This look like an Overwatch stage dude what the fuck!' LOL

Not just that but remember when Faust was originally Baldhead? I still forget that at times, that and that Baiken was a secret character to fight. Man, things with the later games.

A yes when Baiken was a Samurai X walking reference

13:24 Dude, Roman Cancels were introduced in Guilty Gear X (which, fun fact, is pronounced "Guilty Gear Zex"). This game still has my favorite rendition of Baiken's theme, "Momentary Life." Sounds like some Garage metal band tried to compose it, and it goes super well with her gruff design in this game.

Testament coming back in Strive would be nuts. But you know what would be even MORE nuts? *KLIFF.*

Not only I remember, but also is a pain in the ass trigger her boss fight on PS1...

This playthrough was brought to you by Daisuke Ishiwatari cosplaying as Maximilian Dood.

The running sound effect AHHHHHHHHHHH. POV: You hear the sounds of Sol coming to steal your kneecaps

A fighter legacy for Baiken would be awesome though. I'd love to see it

I mean, if you look closely at Baiken's sprite you can see she also has big proportions here, combine that with the more cartoonish style of the 3d games and there you go. I guess people prefer the old design because is more akin to the more simplistic Himura Kenshin wandering samurai type of character

8:18 Old or new, Totsugeki will always get you …

So Baiken is basically Guilty Gear's Akuma?

All these years never knew she was a hidden character

I thought the sound effect during the bandit loop infinite was Max going ham on his fight stick, but it's just the fucking Mr. Krabs running noise 🤣

Instalkills are not only spamable and sometimes safe but they win the GAME not the round.

When Sol Badguy said: "I am Guilty Gear", I felt that

GG1 is so completely jank and busted. I remember seeing ads for it in Gamepro and Tips and Tricks and thought it looked amazing. I didn't actually play it until years later after i had already played GGX and XX, going back to this game was hilarious and jarring to say the least. It has it's own charm tho admittedly. A nice easter egg is Andy, Terry, and Joe FAR in the background on Axel's stage. That was a nod to SNK. On a side note: Potemkin's theme in this one is one of my favorite themes in the entire series.

The running sounds are so hilarious. I giggle every time

Gotta love the pitter patter when running XD

Dang, Baiken didn't always have Eyedol twin heads on her chest, that's crazy

Damn this game was way ahead of its time in the Cool factor. I was too busy playing Tekken and Street fighter back then and didn’t hear of this till a long time later. Gonna pick it up on PS1.

Loving the video you made for baiken..by the way has any one ever told you that you have one of the best KZfaq intros out there. Question how did you come with KZfaq intro or better yet what inspired you make it the way you did it?

Man, I legit love this game. I remember playing it on-disc back in the day, trading back and forth with my friend on the Sol run where we finally made it to Baiken and we were both super relieved that you could continue once you were there.

Almost every fighting game boss character goes Champion Edition these days.

I love how Chipp just oneshot Max at the beginning of the round and refuses to elaborate further

I recently played this to rediscover the awakening of baiken, people say a lot of stuff pertaining her design but non of the Guilty Gear games she did'nt have revealing chesticles. main change is the Artstyle kept changing from Anime to Fanime. Crazy how much fun this still is

12:28 best part of the gameplay, the comments, the soundtrack, the timing, the reaction, destroyed + Perfect.. perfect

I can totally relate to getting the GG soundtrack and listening to it in the car.

Kind of a weird character to serve as a secret boss, but maybe it's because I'm thinking of "secret boss" as an Akuma situation.

The run sound effect will haunt my dreams forever

When he said fuck busted instead of buck fusted with no correction lmaoo my dude 😂

One of the things you must have in mind with this game is the instant-kill command, you will constantly have to do the reversed command to set yourself free from those against the AI whenever the screen turns red (funny how in GGXX Accent Core Plus instead you have to tap 3 directions to get free or lose a round when that happens, plus, that's pretty much the easiest way to see Dizzy's instant kill in the game... yeah, because of how the instant-kill command is to perform, is very unlikely to see Dizzy's one under normal conditions).

Such good memories seeing this game again. Bought it in 2000/01 on a whim in a game store, it was in a box of random PS1 games kinda hidden away. That Justice fight brought back some Post Traumatic RAGE Disorder. And holy hell, I did NOT know you got to fight Baiken as a secret boss in this game!

Sol's goofy sounding run takes me back

Damn, Daisuke the man himself stopped voicing his boi Sol at ac+r and yet Ky is still the same VA since the very beginning, crawlies

Me: *Presses button* Computer in this game: I see you have chosen death (instant kill).

After seeing this it makes me wonder if and when he'll take on I-no and Order Sol on the hardest difficulty? Regardless Max's performance was badass as always. Loving this video

I first heard of this game when it came on a ps1 demo disk from the Playstation Underground subscription service. They had a bunch of demos coming down the pipeline and then a couple of Japanese import games that made you reset the system when it was done because the Playstations in Japan worked different. Or so they said. I was solidly into SF by this point and when I played the demo of this game, it blew my mind. Everything about it seemed so different. You could only play Sol or Ky and the stage was that grand stairway level with the blood red carpet. I was constantly resetting my system and sitting through all the loading times just to get another match. The 3-5 minutes it took to load everything especially sucked when the AI used an insta-kill on me 15 seconds into round 1. I never saw it again until I stumbled across a copy of GGXX at a friend's house. I've kept tabs on the game ever since.

Baikens 1st round was so damn clean 😄 straight up anime swordfight, ended in seconds, sat down and smoked. Love the energy

"i have to press some crazy button to follow up after her" literally just has to press the up button

Over the last few days I wondered where I knew Baiken from, since I never played GG... And then I watched your intro again 😉 BTW after a longer time now still the best intro I can imagine. Super animation, great lead guitar... Hypes up every time

"Meet again" Justice has the coolest theme.

Well... Finally discovered where those old MUGEN Kenshin Rimura sprites came from...

the pitter-patter of the run is funny

I remember being a kid back in the day thinking "Damn this game sounds so cool..."

For some reason, Sol's running sound cracks me up.

May's wake up insta kill was priceless as was Chipp's and Baiken's insta kill

I had a similar experience with my introduction to GG. I heard the soundtrack, and got it burned to a CD before I had even found a copy of the game. A few months after that my bestie found a copy of GGX at a flea market and the rest is history.

That Sound that Art style is one of the best .... the first one is a jewel😊

Used to like Testament's theme in this game. Back in this game, characters had moves that they could charge (up to a max of 3). That's what Baiken was doing in the first part.

Max: Potenkin u little ass man. Potenkin: fly...

This game is incredible. I spent a great deal of my teenage years playing it.

That's a quick turnaround from stream. Max I feel you watching fight baiken that night.

The Sound Effects of this Game are ... on another Level

Baiken in Guilty Gear: Kenshin Himura Baiken in Strive: THE CERBERUS

When she turns around, the arm changes sides.

Seeing Baiken's chest not look like balloons is simultaneously omega blessed and omega cursed.

DId you know that in this game, you can kill your friends guilt free?

12:29 *walks in* *instant kills* *refuses to elaborate* *leaves

The running sounds just crack me up

I did that back in the day without savestates on original hardware and it took me ~6 hours of constant trying.

Loved this. This is also one I never really got to play

I'm subbed to over 100 channels on KZfaq and you have the best intro.

The BGM is fantastic in this game
