Ridiculous characters of Fighting Game history - Faust from Guilty Gear

The latest installment of Ridiculous Characters of Fighting game history is here, with Faust from Guilty Gear! He was easily the most requested character that is brought up everytime I did one of these videos so here ya go! Also you guys know I normally don't ask this but since these kind of vids are so out of the wheelhouse I normally tread in so its harder for it to get traction on youtube so likes/comments/all that usual stuff you know, very much appreciated!

I love how his door teleport is a canon ability. He used it in GG xrd's story for a last minute save in a vital operation against the conclave, but messed up and ate dirt for like 10 whole seconds before pulling off the sickest landing I've ever seen.

Faust in xrd: lol giant funny man Faust in strives: being alive is no longer something you can achieve

The way I interpreted Xrd's gallery seemed to imply that Faust is so clinically insane that he is a minor reality warper, hence why he pulls stuff out of hammer space and swims through the air.

Faust playstyle: RANDOM BULLSHIT GO

Yoshimitsu: Finally a worthy opponent!!! Our battle shall be RIDICULOUS

Everyone is talking about how Faust is relapsing but I think our boy is just tired. You seen some of these doctors who do 10 hour shifts, 6 days a week? They look like the walking dead, too.

Faust is why I got into GG

"I am a doctor" "A doctor of what?" "Yes"

Faust is one of the characters in Guilty Gear I wanted to try out the most. Glad to learn some crazy lore about him. I never knew of his rough past as "Dr. Baldhead" :o

one of my favourite goofy faust facts is a bit from the codex talking about how hes one of the best magicians on earth and maybe ever; his item summoning is material displacement, which takes mastery of All kinds of magic, and teleportation is an incredibly difficult technique by itself. adding doing so much magical research with whatever "rigorous physical training" lets you stretch your head out a few feet, and hes just one insanely dedicated doctor. smth about the amount of work and care he puts into being goofy and eccentric makes him so charming as a character, esp when you consider hes very fond of children. love that funnydoc.

Faust's back-story is so wacky I honestly thought you're making stuff up on the way

Seeing old Faust makes me seriously question what happen to Faust in GG Strive

It isnt mentioned, but even fausts powers are really interesting, he’s not a deity or a descendant of a great person He’s literally just a guy He got his powers after returning to normal after being dr baldhead

Faust feels like a cartoon character in a series where everyone is an anime character.

"the joker pope, which is a real thing." this series is... certainly A series.

At first I've always thought that Faust was a bad guy of Guilty Gear story but i was dead wrong

I'm gonna be a dick real quick, but I promise I'll make up for it by the end: 'Faust' is actually pronounced like 'Foust' which means 'fist' in German, but besides that is clearly a reference to Goethe's Faust from which we get fun idioms like 'Faustian bargain'. In the novel 'Faust', the titular character makes a deal with what amounts to the devil, shenanigans ensue. The novel's character is heavily based on a presumably historical figure who went around practicing magic and wonderously healing people among other things. Not quite a regular medical doctor.

About time Dr Baldhead got some respeck on his name
