Ridiculous characters of Fighting Game history - Baiken from Guilty Gear

Here we are with the latest installment of Ridiculous Characters of Fighting game history! Today Baiken will be our focus, the famous Samurai from Guilty Gear! Baiken will be joining GG Strive about a month from this posting, so why not get caught up on her backstory and what she is all about! These style of videos are outside the usual wheelhouse here on the Rooflemonger channel so if you could give a Like/Share it would be sincerely appreciated. Its also Christmas Eve when I am posting this so Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

yes, her cool prosthetics, eye patch, and gruff nomadic samurai archetype are totally why im picking her up. 100% yes

Holy shit I just realized something. Baiken is the female Jaapanese version of Guts. They are both missing an eye them both are missing an arm they both use prosthetics both have cannons on there arms and are both loners and have 1 person they want to see killed.

Baiken didn't lose her eye, it just grew up to become her child when it fell out

As one of the few Baiken fans from back in the original game, long before those (ahem) big additions to her design, it warms my heart to see how popular she's become.

I just love Baiken. I love her personality. She's sexy, like Revy from Black Lagoon. She's rough, foul-mouthed, and informal. She likes to smoke and drink. She has a disability yet is deadly with her sword. She's a swordsmen. She's just awesome.

Alright barring some crazy news dropping in the next few days, don't expect any videos in the next few days! Enjoy the Holidays friends! We will come back with lots of Baiken coverage early in the next year, KoF XV launches in Feb and that will be getting the royal treatment, DnF is also next year and its gonna be great times on the Rooflemonger channel for 2022!

If she isn't a match against that man, then what hope does she have against happy chaos

Oddly, her response to Happy Chaos…was oddly mellow when facing him which is…odd. At this point I’m just happy for her interactions with her power bottom Anji.

I'm interested in seeing how Baiken's story will end in Strive! I hope for her sake that she'll find the answers she's looking for!

To be honest as GG characters go, pretty normal

I love her forward walk animation.

First of all, Happy Holidays Rooflemonger! Your videos have been a great, consistent and concise source of fighting game news for as long as I've known of the channel. Keep up the great work! Second, after watching the video I really appreciate how straightfoward Baiken's story is. A traumatized character who devoted herself to revenge, crippling injuries be damned. One of the reasons why I picked her up back in X and X2 is because of her relative simplicity compared to other characters.

Using that X2 intro is a great choice

I have a feeling that Delilah might try to steer Baiken away from her path of revenge just like what Anji has been doing though there was little success on his part. Considering based on the teaser trailer she's trying to be a friend/mother figure to her, but she can't do that if she's burdened with all of that bitterness and rage.

Thank you for covering baiken, baiken and eltnum (unist) were my first characters that i genuinely sat down and learned and got the appeal of fighting games i hope you can someday cover eltnum too love your content and merry Christmas! :D

really enjoying these vids dude keep it up

Great video.great topic and format. I am about to see all of your remaining story videos

If I could recommend a character, I think Zasalamel would be a neat one to go into detail on one day. As far as SoulCalibur picks go he's pretty out there.

What a Christmas gift! Celebrating her upcoming release later in 2022 I'm glad you made something like this to help people like me who started in Strive get used to the lore which is a DAUNTING task with how much lore there is. I hope you make more Guilty Gear ridiculous history for more characters!
