Why Axl Low is my Favorite Guilty Gear Character

Axl Low is literally in this game

Very good video, Axl Low is based and epic. While I think he's morally a good guy, if I was given the option, I would steal the white house. Keep up the making of videos and pondering of hunks.

"despite being british, is a really good person" good video lol

If I had a nickle for every video I’ve watched of someone explaining why a guilty gear character is their favorite, and in the later half of the video going into how this character helped with their mental health somehow, I would have 2 Nickels, which isn’t a lot but I’m really glad it’s already happened twice

One really fun thing about Axls story is that in Xrd he says that his favorite thing about Megumi is her smile and in Strive he can identify I-No when she smiles in the end.

Axl is the guy who was given a bad hand again and again. After working to make his street a better place and getting a nice girlfriend he lost it due to time shenanigans. He continued to hop from timeline to timeline, suffering for it and having nobody to ask for answers towards. He has every single reason to be bitter, resentful and angry at an uncaring universe... and willingly chooses not to. Even when he got his godlike powers in control he could've told the universe "fuck you" for separating him from his girlfriend and giving him a hard life... and chose to be kind instead. Basically the biggest crime of his is being bri'ish.

The best part about axl getting that burger is the fact he most likely paid for it and gave a good tip

Axl seems to be the type of guy to be the vocalist of a band known for its guitar solos and high pitched vocals

Chaos isnt pure evil Him helping i-no become herself again was an entirely benevolent goal He wants a story and will play whatever role he needs to fill to make it happen, which has usually been the villian because humanity needs something to unite against to progress

lmfao someone just linked me to this, thanks for the shoutout and glad I was able to help you with the Axl bombers!

one thing I want to clarify for viewers, the original mentioned as the one who gave a message for Axl to deliver to That Man was Happy Chaos, they are one in the same

This is a wonderful video. Video essays made by ppl describing their favorite Guilty Gear character makes me so happy. You can make British jokes about Axl all day but it's impossible to deny how amazing of a character he is, and the resolution of his and I-Nos story in Strive still makes me cry. Hes a legendary character among legendary characters

dawg how does this have only 100 views this is so fun

I don't main Jack-O because shes hot, I play her because I set unhealthy expectations for myself with gender dysphoria 😎

I think there's a couple points you should have included: how for most of Rev until the end he's depressed to the point of inaction until he's inspired to help by Sol's never giving up, and how his role in Arcade mode (both his own and Giovanna's) is trying to track down Nagoriyuki to just have a conversation with him, which to be fair about half the cast's arcades are them trying to reach out to Nagoriyuki in some way but still. I'd also like to mention Happy Chaos does stir shit up cause he believes humanity surviving bad things makes it stronger, and he both tipped Axl off about the apartment attack and could seemingly move in Axl's time stop but did nothing to stop Axl from saving civilians, so he's not exactly just killing people and causing destruction for the hell of it.

man i absolutely love this genre of videos, more close and personal analyses of guilty gear characters (or other characters) are my SHIT. The quality of this video is actually unbelievable compared to the view count and your subscriber count. i’m excited to see more out of this channel, keep it going!!

You probably know, but, the reason for the Union jack flags in his design and the jorts, is because of Axl Rose. Thats where the jorts and bandana stuff comes from

Anji isnt the weirdo. Hes the underdog chad character.

I absolutely loved this video ❤ You really did the best job of explaining what makes Axl so appealing as a character in a game full of over-the-top characters. His unnatural optimism, his himbo-like kindness, his responsible yet goofy use of being a LITERAL TIME GOD NOW! That's why I adore his Strive intro. He moves around his frozen time, but is always aware of butterfly effects... Simply just letting time and life be as it is because it's already complicated enough. Pretty sure he doesn't even actually touch the butterfly when unfreezing time, he's just getting into a cheeky pose because Axl is the embodiment of a "Silly Little Guy" and I love him

I don't really think Chaos did what he did because reasons. He sure loved to say he did, but his real motivation was revealed in his little brawl with Asuka: he and I-no just shared a shitty fate and he wanted to help her which is pretty endearing
