thoughts on vidya redesigns?
I don't play kusoge shit
>>7371656472015 is the best. Looking more fancy without hiding her sexy features works wonders.
wow, i guess i haven't played any gg in 10 years
>>737165647Dizzy's is pretty good. It shows her growth from innocent forest maiden to queen and MILF.
>>737165647Almost never good. And guilty gear is a great example of it getting worse every time.
>>737165647Xrd Dizzy is the best. Top tier animations, probably the best in the game.Strive is not as milfy or regal as should be
>>737165647>sleeves2024 for sure
>>737165741usually i would agree, but canonically the time between the second and third image is just 1 month. i couldnt believe it myself before looking it up.
>>737165647Strive completely bastardized not just the visual designs, but the actual mechanical designs of the characters. The only possible exception is A.B.A, though she still lacks some moves/depth from XX; she was always a pretty straightforward character despite her gimmick, so that wasn't too hard to fuck up.
>>737165647Daisuke is a hack and Mori was the real talent.
>>737165647>what a hobo in the GG world wears>what a royal concubine in the GG world wears>what a queen in the GG world wears
>>737165647Middle is perfectiont. don't know this character nor the game she's in
>>737165647It's weird to live in the modern world. In real life, people are becoming sluttier and girls are choosing to become e-prostitutes, and you're supposed to support this unquestioningly. But then you turn around and anything that appeals to the male gaze must be removed from all media.
>>737165647>2024>Dizzy if she JRPG npc
shit game either way, but the design from 2015 is pretty peak, the hair bows add a lot of nice shape to the overall silhouette and ngl the belly button peek is 10/10, rather than the boring ass 'lol what if bikini' from the 2000 variantI also like the sleeves and the weird ass socks from the 2024 design, a mix of both would be pretty good IMO
>>737167306>Dogshit ugly feminists manipulating the world to benifitWow who could imagine such a thing could happen?
>>737165647edges sanded off, soul gone
>>737165647SOVL SOVL SOULLESS
>>737165669>I don't play shitty game shit
strive is non-canon
>>737165647Her face looks so cute, though. Best one I think. Wish they gave her the OG outfit.
>>737167195guilty gear
I wouldn't mind her new design nearly as much if they didn't rape Undine and Necro and turn them into the same shitty black blobs as Eddie for literally no reason.
Dizzy really changed alot in such a short amount of time, she's a mother of two now, a queen of a nation and has two sisters, semi connected with her mother and father and a whole bunch of other shit. It's hard to believe she was the defacto heroine of the franchise for a little bit, now GG has no heroine, Dizzy's story is over she got her good end, El and Ram have nothing left for them other than to get fucked by a samurai and a politician/swordsman who keep trying to avoid them but they want their men and are gonna keep chasing them til they give up.
>>737165647Xrd is peak.strive is shit. shit designs, shit gameplay a downgrade in every way.
>>737169969btw I've never played Xrd
>>737165647>redesignsInteresting way of spelling "censorship done explicitly to appeal to westrannies that hate you, hated your game series forever and hate your culture in general".arcSHITS deserves to go under ASAP
>>737165647Everyone hates this one but I think original Dizzy looks like shit, like a true deviantart OC. Modern Dizzy shows less skin but I'm attracted to her more than whore Dizzy
>>737165724If you do her 100 meter super, it actually rips her clothes off and it resembles her old design for the rest of the match
Reminder that GG since it's inception had westerners in mind with all the characters just being western musician references. Also reminder that GG since Xrd was like uni where 99% of japs didn't give a fuck about it(or atleast actually buying and playing it)and that strive would not exist if people actually gave a damn about playing Xrd as much they did give a damn about fellating it from it's release to now.
>>737169709I didn't know Dizzy and Ky had another kid besides Sin.
>>737168247>became the top ranked Ky on the leaderboard>got match replay uploader channels hounded by seething homos who were upset about his name being displayed in titles>BTFO'd Hotashi the nigger tranny defender in a ft10 and took his money>did it all while hating the game and troons I applaud this man's autism and ability to play a game purely out of spite and hatred for as long as he did
>>737170904Unika from the OVA and a DLC char from an alternate timeline where she was born instead of Sin and Gears killed everyone after a virus makes them all berserk. Yes, her story is just Terminator because the retards that made Strive's story wrote themselves into a corner with everyone getting along and getting happy endings
>>737165647Like remakes, /v/ only ever wants to talk about the more controversial ones so that anons can push the narrative that all redesigns and everything was so much better back in the day when characters looked the way they did in that fighting game they never played. At least in terms of fighting games, I do think that most of them hit the mark and I don't really ever find myself longing for the classic look unless something got turbo fucked.Also /v/ only ever gives a shit about fighting game character redesigns when it's girls. Only male examples that come to mind are when the new look has to be extra horrific like banana ken from SFV.
>>737165647I always hated Dizzy's sprite in +R, her neck looks so retarded. Xrd Dizzy is like the complete opposite because she's in the running for the most well animated character in the game.
>>737170864>the rest of the matchi did my meme beam, the match is over
>>737165647>good>very good>tr00nslop
>>737173610wrong
>>737165647Niggas will complain about Pragmata and completely ignore that Dizzy is like 10 in Strive and was canonically fucked and impregnated when she was 3 years old
>>737171094I'm so glad they got rid of the fucking leg belt strap thingIt was so stupid.Iori looks fiited the fuck out now
>>737171094Hi sis
>>737166897Strive is by a country mile the most mechanically complex GG guy, especially due to the gatling system.
>>737175061Why do you believe this?
>>737165647I cant talk since my first gg was strive but the new designs are goodBut the previous ones are just way betterLike ryu in sf6Beard ryu is cool but the classic is a classic
>nobody posted shitting dick nipples
>>737168247>>737170952How did he get a perfect score?
>>737166061Well Dizzy is a Gear. She's like 5 years old or something. She doesn't have to abide by human rules on aging.
>>737177453Be the change you want to see in the world.
>>737175221It’s not belief, it’s objective fact. Especially gatlings. Capcom invented the magic series from which prior GG was inspired specifically to make conforms easier. Having every normal having separate rules for chain canceling is objectively more complex than basic lol my light chains sequentially into each button.
>>737165647Small wings = bad, big wings = good.
>>737166061That is because rev redesign are just alterations to their old design in 3d.for nostalgia, Dizzy wears a normal outfit in the story cutscenes https://youtu.be/sl0tx-q4BD8?si=CIx3O0rsTdGyzjB9People cry censorship with strive but they only made the outfits for everyone less anime
>>737165647>Im ready to settle down now
instead of this becoming another gay ass culture war thread i'm gonna post the best fighting game character rework of all time
>>737165647You guys probably won't cry about it if the game has a costume select.
>>737178463Which is actually counter-intuitive for new players getting into the game in my experience. You can gatling S into H, but not P into S? Not K into S? But you can gatling P and K into specifically 6H. It was more difficult for my friend to learn this than learn the gatlings in Blazblue.It's more complex, sure, but with the trade off of being restrictive in terms of player freedom and creativity, and makes the game more homogeneous.
>>737165647wokeslop
>>737179138Ok but it doesn't, so what's the point of your stupid ass comment?
>>737178463jeez
>>737165647I actually think the Strive design is cute, but ultimately it is the result of self-censorship which is cringe.
>>737168247based
>>737170294you don't know what censorship means. if it was censorship it would be arcsys going back into the old games and replacing the old designs permanently from xx and xrd, which hasn't happened and will never happen
>>737165647burqashit
>>737179270To give my stupid thoughts about it.
>>737179408This is disproven by Ino's round win pose being exactly the same as other games but with a shirt hastily added which makes the pose pointless
>>737179528so if you played xrd or xx right now would that old design not be there anymore?
>>737175061Oh fuck off lol... Unga bunga the videa game. Once Strive is no longer the "newest" Guilty Gear nobody is going back to this one. Xrd had its problems but people still play that game and for good reason.
>>7371656472015 kino 2024 slop
>>7371656472000s had style 2024 has sharia compliance.
>>737179581Ahh the leftist method of argumentation I seeI'm sorry I thought there would be room for discussion without acting like a disingenuous retard my mistake
>>737179528That is not how censorship works you imbecile, ino's redesign is in line with everyone else's redesign, if looking at her back is so important to you can play the old game.
>>737179959anon you literally used the word censorship wrong, i know what your point is but you're coming across as low iq by not making the correct argument
>>737179973>>737180043It is very clearly a design that was censored shortly before reveal, otherwise her having the same win pose as before but no reason to have it makes no sense
>>737170952Wasn't it just Jakub goofing around? That guy jerks off to diaper porn.
Strive, not even once.
>>737166897She is kinda fucked up now with how hard is to go into Jealous Rage and how little time you have to make as much damage as you can. Also, Elsphelt players are totally fucked.
>>737165647She went from slut to sensibly dressed. I can only see this as a positive change.
Should we blame this on character development or...
Vidya redesigns can be fine, but I don't think I really like any of the visual design changes introduced in Xrd/Strive. Well, I liked Xrd Ky, I guess. Baiken and Testament got it the worst, off the top of my head.
>>737171094I liked banana ken...
>>737179010old deejay was such a boring design, his glow up in sf6 is legitimately insane. they made him feel completely distinct from guile. he might be the most fun charge character of all time now
>>737165647This was a disgrace, a very metal black and white leather outfit on the two previous games, and now we have a literal nun dress, I youre gonna make a redesign be sure to maintain some elements from the previous outfits, because the new one is plain and boring as shit.I really hope to see an option to change the outfit of the characters, ( Dizzy, I-No, Millia, Jam) to the ones of the Xrd version.
>>737179408... what? You're the one that has no idea what censorship means. Something can definitely be censored before it's released to the public.
>>737180665It's legit character development, Dizzy went from someone as shy and timid as Noel Vermillion to a mature someone what silly mother and queen it's not out of character since she's a gear she was destined to become like this but people are mad she's not so innocent anymore, not even El and Ram are innocent anymore as Ram has the hots for Leo and El has the hots for Nago, Guilty Gear kind dropped the bombshell innocent waifu with Overture, every girl in the series now either has a companion or is looking for one, Jam and Gio are both still looking for a man, Gio has her tits out because she's trying to flaunt while remaining professional and Jam just kinda waiting around, she's not chasing after Ky anymore since it's public knowledge he's a married man now too so she's just kinda just hanging around. Even Balken is implied she's gonna fuck the shit out of Ange at some point and he's a bit scared of it and Jack o going by her own words she and Sol have been making up for lost time.
>>737181052>I really hope to see an option to change the outfit of the charactersThere's going to be alt costumes and accessories on May after EVO Japan. No info on legacy costumes yet.
Lets compare once again Blazblue to Guilty Gear by the end of it's story only one of these girls actually got into a relationship, the rest of them remained single or died.
Let's be real, Dizzy's theme in Strive sounds awful.
>>737181248jesus look at all of those censored designs
>>737165647since I has Alter's figure of her I absolutely detest the latter twos censorship attempts
>>737165647Christian women should dress modestly
>>737181127censorship means the old art is completely unviewable anon. if you can still look at art of xrd dizzy it isn't censored. is this board all thirdies now?
>>737180112That doesn't really make sense to me bro. She takes off a jacket and faces away from the camera. That's just a pose. Whether or not you do that tits out is entirely irrelevant.
>>737165647The designs themselves are fine. But as Guilty Gear style Rock and Metal designs, they've failed.
>>737165647I'm from the future
>>737165647Holy shit... dizzy demake. I don't don't mind redesings, especially for timeskips, but they can look worse. And this particular redesign is probably to avoid western wokeness.
>>737181815Very missed opportunity.
>>737181248You say only one but I see Nine and Tsubaki
>>737181923What is this, a porn game?!!, Put more clothes on this slutty bitch!!.Also if you can, make her gay an lame.
>>737181534Look, I don't know what redditor or breadtuber you got that definition from, but it's wrong. Just read this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-censorship
>>737181248kinda glad it died before it could get ruined by retarded devs with DEI and woke shit.
>>737182048Nine died remember? Only Tsubaki got her guy
>>737182025>vrchat model>lack of hair and feather physicsCome the fuck on people.
>>737165647I assume anyone who plays or likes this game is a tranny. It is really off putting and makes me unwilling to even consider picking it up. Trannies are horrible to have in small communities they push women away and start social problems with anyone even relatively normal.
Yeaaahhh...
>>737170864grok, is that true?
>>737171075It's not like GG was shy about writing alternate timeline bullshit stories before.
strive is dogshitplay fighterZa game somehow less dumbed down than strive
>>737184484An fg thread is right next door sir.
>>737184484I can't help but watch this and see Goku, Piccolo, and fucking Broly beating the shit out of Gohan's wife for no reason. What did she do to deserve this beatdown? Overcooked the eggs?
>>737165647Isn't this series that was overtaken by trannies?
>>73716564715 >>>00 >24
>>737184791They are beating the tomboy out of her so she becomes a Saiyan baby factory which is all women are good for in this universe.
>>737181208What about the rest of the characters
>>737181248Blazblue character designs are such trash, literally anyone from Strive has more charm and personality than all of these light novel rejects put together.
Kill all women.
>>737185523Only Sol, Ino, Ky and Dizzy are confirmed so far so it's possible everyone will have it.
>>737171094XV Iori is solid but not quite lightning in a bottle like the OGXIV Kyo was an abomination and most of the redesigns in that game were for the worse
>>737184791You shouldn't need a reason to beat up women, them being women is reason enough.
>>737185820>I-No and Dizzy.Oh ok that's acceptable, I can still use a mod to give Millia her Xrd outfit.
>>737185820>hag dizzy in slutsuitimagine
>>737187213>hagstrive happens something like two weeks after xrd
>>737187286thats like 40 bajillion years in gear yearsshe is even starting to wrinkle
>>737187398Sol is over a hundred years old so it's still safe.
>>737165647I can't believe Guilty Gear went from the most metal fighting game to the gayest. Fuck this clown world.
>>737187530elves rulebut still, imagine hag dizzy in her old slutsuit. How will modern GG community react? like 40% of it are insufferable twittards who came in because bridget transitioned or some shit
>>737181248Mori gives characters what they deserve.Daisuke jumps through hoops to redeem everybody.
>>737182304BlazBlue embodies the unabashed animu degeneracy of the 00s to mid-10s. Part of me has come to appreciate it more for that post-mortem, years later
>>737187731Metal was always for fruits
>>737165647I was in love with the GBA version of dizzy. Didn't play the other games.
>>737181248I fucking despise what strive did to Guilty Gear as a franchise, but blazblue doesn't even come close. doesn't help that most GG characters are defences to bands or songs that I like.
>>737188794At least metal was edgy. This bullshit is the gayest thing possible.
>>737165647boobs should've gotten bigger wtf
>>737181534>censorship means the old art is completely unviewableNo it doesn't
Everyone is bitching about the redesign when I'm shitting bricks over her learning how to use michael sword. She's slowly becoming Justice without even realizing it.
>>737181426Looking different in a sequel isn't censorship you mouthbreathing retard. Learn what words mean.
>>737189376>She's slowly becoming Justice without even realizing it.Peak character development. That aside, use it for zoning and as a combo ender.
The funniest thing is that the paid outfit for Dizzy is literally a hijab.
>>737165647Her original design was frankly all over the place. Strive Dizzy looks the best.
Isn't Dizzy also a command gear like her mother?
>>737190002Yes. Sin and Unika too.
>>737166897The visual design of Strive was just the natural continuation of Xrd. Its literally the best looking fighting game on the market and its not even close. The designs of characters are great and the weird hatred that so many have for it on /v/ is retarded. Literally the only character that legitimately felt like a mistake was what they did with Bridget.
>>737185541Don't play any of the games but I was about to post this.>>737181248God damn these look generic af.
>>737165647SJWs censored her in 2024? WTF happened?
>>737179167It’s the exact opposite of making it homogenous dipshit. You have different chain cancelable routes depending on what normal you hit with. In a system with free chaining between any normal it’s basically a magic series, your fast starter confirms into everything. That’s actual homogenous gameplay. >player freedom and creativity You are not creative when you do a magic series chain cancel lmao, get the fuck out of here
>>737165647I like the strive design except for the fact that necro and undine are black blobs and that she seemingly cut her tits off
>>737190252Tranny detected
>>737192086her tits are huge, why do you think whatever mantle she has on curves out so far?
>>737191653I am talking about variability in pressure, not combo variety. In Strive it is very limited. Consider your opponent blocks c.S, you would never do 5P/2P after that, that's stupid.
>>737179010strongly considered picking him up when his trailer dropped. the redesign was next level and his voice actor did a great job too. launch era sf6 was the first time in the series i had more ENG voices on than JP. the dub voice actors actually did a really good job for once but the quality fell off after that.
>>737171075>unika>design is the most unimaginative shit everdid they do that on purpose?
>>737178463So gatlings were the beginning and end of the complexity of prior GG's for you?
>>737192483>Consider your opponent blocks c.S, you would never do 5P/2P after that, that's stupid.cS>xP is a frametrap for every character that doesn't have a -1 cScS>xP will beat YRC on both cS and 2PcS>xP can beat slow 14f reversals cS>xP can be option selected with a kick normal to catch backdashes 5/2P is plus for Goldlewis, 5P is plus for PotemkinxP>6P is a frametrap on every characterxP>6K/6H is a frametrap for many charactersxP can be staggered further, allowing either tick throws or resets if your opponent sits still
>>737165647The original design is forever a classic. But the 2024 design is actually good and I will defend it. The important thing to remember is that it is not trying to portray the same thing. Dizzy is a mother here. She is a different type of character in a different stage of life.
>>737165647All the characters looked perfect on Xrd, shame, besides censored or lame I would describe Strive's designs as baggy.
>>737195026one anon said this earlier, he was drowned out by culture war nonsense
>>737165647xrd looks like a skullgirls character
>>737192239VERY cool anon
>>737195026she was a mother in the middle already.
>>737194801Didn't know that it beat YRC, nor about the option select for backdash. And 2P/2K/5K>6H is not a frametrap for my character. I just don't know why you would c.S>2P/5P unless you were planning to 6P frametrap after.
>>737165647I like the redesign of Mai...
>>737165647I'm not attached to previous designs (Xrd one looks great) and I kinda like 2024 for what it is. Looks "trad" to me in a good way.
>>737165647Hear me out, 2024 but they cut the white chest cloth a bit higher so it lands toward the top of the breasts, trim the dress a few inches higher, and put the thigh-highs back on.Everything you'd want to see but classier.
>>737195792Yeah. Hence why something else fits her better.
>>737165647It's nice to see these side by side so it's obvious just how badly they fucked up Dizzy's design in Strive. I don't even care that the old one is showing more skin. There could be black cloth over the navel and thighs and it would still be way better than the Strive design. It's like they hired someone who had never heard of Guilty Gear and told him to draw a woman.
>>737168247
>>737179010Top 5 for sure but Terry is the winner for that one
>>737179010>no maximum pantsactually legit shit. SF6 rapes everything it touches.
>>737190252>The visual design of Strive was just the natural continuation of Xrd.this is only ever said by trannies and shills, fuck off.
>>737201845
>>737165647I like Strive's design for Dizzy overall but I think it was clearly made for a character that wasn't supposed to fight. Like I'm convinced that Arcsys didn't expect Strive to be as successful as it was and so they didn't plan DLC beyond the first 2 or 3 seasons. Queen Dizzy was important in the story of Strive, and in that context I think it really portrays her elegance and refinement. But in a fast-paced fighting game it's just too much. There's just too many different colors, shapes, and designs cutting across too many parts of her silhouette. Like compare Xrd Dizzy with her blue hair acting like a halo around her entire body, complimented by the blue edges of her sleeves and the blue part of the ring around her feet. It nicely frames the black/white parts of her design. Meanwhile Queen Dizzy has a blue interior with white accents right in the middle of her black dress. And rather than her hair framing her body, it cuts across her white top and is partially hidden behind a bunch of flowers and her wings. This doesn't work in a fighting game because each body part needs to be way more readable. This is reflected in her movelist too. Dizzy has always used Necro/Undyne, her tail, and ice as part of her normals but they have to be so much more emphasized in Strive because her normal design doesn't communicate movement well. Compare something like 2S, 2HS, 5HS, etc from +R, Xrd, and Strive. Dizzy herself barely moves at all in Strive because if she did, it'd be impossible to read at a glance. Meanwhile +R 5HS makes Dizzy turn all the way around.
>>737201910To add on to this a little, I think from a narrative standpoint it makes more sense for Dizzy to rely more on Necro/Undyne for attacks, and her integration of these two personas into her own is nicely reflected by them being black and white, it does the design no favors from a fighting standpoint. Again you get an issue where the moves lack visual clarity, so they really have to lean in on particle effects. And even then, it's hard to tell at a glance if it's Necro or Undyne doing the attack. Meanwhile in +R/Xrd, the dark green or bright blue instantly lets both players know. I like Queen Dizzy as a character in their weird anime-style Story Mode but they really should have made some kind of "battle suit" for her or something. It doesn't have to be a clone of her earlier designs, but it should definitely have taken what works from them and iterated on it. But Strive has a weird relationship with redesigns. Some are pretty good and others are just hilariously bland.
>>737201845It is said by everyone including the people that ignored Xrd entirely but still sucked it's dick causing strive to exist and the people that actually played and went from Xrd to Strive. ESPECIALLY the Japanese ones.
>>737190252>Literally the only character that legitimately felt like a mistake was what they did with Bridget.Testament was much worse
>>737165647gg was ruined aesthetically as soon as it went 2.5D
>>737202814I have a version of XX, Xrd and Strive, and I first played Guilty Gear decades ago. Strive designs give up a lot of the cartoonish exaggeration from Xrd to be more generic. There are extreme examples like Ky going from a cool guy to a kid who's mom cuts his hair, to Baiken who looks nearly identical but all the changes minimize everything unique about her. Basically, Xrd characters look like they're in the Guilty Gear series, and Strive characters look like commissioned fan art.
>>737195567Well skullgirls was heavily inspired by guilty gear so it makes sense
>>737203643>kid who's mom cuts his hairYOU MEAN THE HAIR HE HAD BEFORE XRD WHICH IS CONSIDERABLY BETTER THAN THE XRD HAIR THAT IS ONLY PRAISED BY PEOPLE WHO STARTED WITH XRD OR WHO ARE FUJOS? Also you don't get to pull that commissioned fan art shit while praising Xrd and it's fucking pseudo GG blazblue adjacent fanfiction designs. Xrd Ky, Millia and Axl. Xrd Potemkin, sol, and Raven. Any of the shit ass Xrd newcomers that look like they fit in GG less than any newcomers before or after Xrd. Also strive Baiken is better because her hair looks better due to the different shape and color and the way it got rid of the stupid eye patch even if the solo goggle retardation Xrd added is still there.
>>737201451>another MAXIMUM pants appreciatornice
>>737206267that shit is important.
>>737181248Es is so goddamn sexy it hurts
>>737204875The hair he had before Xrd is wild and gigantic with huge spikes extending way off his face. Kind of like it is in Xrd. And unlike the Strive K-pop hair where every strand is combed as close to him as possible.I know you tried to use over 10 year old XRD IS JUST BLAZBLUE WITH SOL BADGUY claims again that have already been proven false long ago. I'm not going to dignify them with a reply.Finally, I don't care much that Strive Baiken just has the Xrd eye covering but now it's see-through. I care more about stupid decisions like making the print on her kimono way smaller so they don't accidentally draw attention to a character. Like I said, she looks mostly the same, but every change is for the worse.
>>737165647I hate how the HUD looks compare to Xrd games, i hate that character select screen doesn't have its own theme instead of just being "smell of the game" instrumental , i hate how some part of the ost are recycled from previous game (victory's theme)
>>737190252>They covered my characterhmphh, gooner....>They covered BridgetSo you chose death....
>>737192086>necro and undine are black blobsis it explained what happened to them in arcade?
>>737192086SAME. The Strive redesign is fantastic, except for the fact that Necro and Undine don't even have any fucking defining features like they have since forever. The people constantly screeching about censorship (in this particular case) are fucking retards that can't see the bigger issue which is that the two defining side-characters for Dizzy (literally) have had all their defining characteristics removed.The whole point what that Dizzy just became a refined version of herself now that she's a queen, not that she loses some of her flavor in the process. She can't look like a stripper now that she's in a high position and the work they did with that is perfect. It's just why are the other two people that define Dizzy's design dull looking faceless protagonists of some doujin. They should've kept the green and blue motif for Necro and Undyne and bolster both of their designs to be more regal looking like Undyne looks like a nun or some sort of female saint and Necro looks like a bishop or a knight or something associated with medieval royals.>>737199329Fair. That would also be a pretty solid Dizzy design for Strive.>>737182025Dizzy is a cute. CUTE.
>>737206267>MUMI?>XAM!
>>737190252I generally like how Strive handles its characters in terms of personality and visual design, though the gameplay design has often been disappointing, but while Bridget was the one that got the most attention, Testament is so, so much worse. I'm not the biggest fan of Testament in the first place and even I was taken aback at what a bizarre and shitty direction they took him, they literally bimbofied him. He doesn't resemble the character that was before at all, and it's fine to have character growth, but it's extremely inorganic character growth compared to anyone else in the game. I don't even think it was offbase to lean into androgyny for Testament but they moved the needle way too much towards femininity instead. Testament is the worst redesign in the game by a significant margin, I'd also say he happens to be the worst gameplay redesign too as it happens.
>>737207630Ky's strive hair is the exact same level of spiky as his +R version though which is both good and the point since strive was trying to dial back on retarded shit Xrd pulled like traffic cone Millia and Xrd Axl which can be summed as a 100 times worse looking version of ML Axl. Could've gone a bit further like getting rid of the Xrd pot design but he looks bigger and more like a human tank in strive so that's fine. Also that Xrd looks too blazblue thing is not a claim it is a fact especially when you look at it's newcomers.
>>737209292Xrd Axl isn't great but he's certainly better than ML Axl.
It is so fucking weird to me that a 5 year old Guilty Gear game has more players right now than a 2 year old Tekken game.
First one looks like a tranny 2015 was peak last one is unrecognizable
>>737209535Strive patch may as well be a new game
>>737165647Um excuse me she's only two years old you disgusting slur.
>>737207630>>737165647>they keep putting more clothes on the women>they keep taking clothes off of the men>Bridget retconned from cross dresser into tranny>tranny infestation in the FGC on the riseThese are not coincidences.
Strive Elphelt >
>>737209506Huh? I could understand thinking both are shit but calling Xrd Axl better when it's supposed to reference the ML one or be based on it but does it in a much shittier way is strange.
>>737209695But they are putting more clothes on the men as seen with Sol, Venom, Slayer and Sin.
>>737209292I'm not trying to quantify levels of spiky when I say his new haircut looks like his mom cuts his hair. Even in that picture of AC Ky, his bangs visibly go forward way off his head. Strive Ky's hair is short and combed close to his face. That makes it seem much less wild and makes him look more like a K-pop singer.
>>737209767I don't think it's done in a shittier way, the roided out look doesn't suit Axl at all and his upper body in Xrd is a lot better than this tied shirt. Xrd Axl is nothing exceptional, but it easily clears the low bar of surpassing ML Axl.
>>737166061She's also openly a queen to an entire nation and has to not look like total shit in that month's span, so running around in battle panties isn't the best of ideas.
>>737210201I don't think you understand what that phrase means because ky's hair doesn't look like that at all, if anything it looks like he himself cut it at worst but the shonen hair is still there just in a different direction or era if that makes sense. Also if any kpopfag had haircuts like strive Ky they'd actually look good.>>737210275The strong look literally fits Axl the best in the 1st game man use the actual ingame looks. Xrd axl's problem is that instead of looking like a full hoodlum he has the damn jorts WITH the stupid Xrd preppy top half that has the dumbass giant singular zipper and with the Xrd pose that makes the jorts look even worse.
>>737165647She moved past her slutty era
>>737209726Elphelt has had six designs and Strive's is the worst of them. It doesn't even have the animal (bunny) theme any longer, that Valentines used to share.
>>737211507The ingame look doesn't do him any favors, if anything it's worse. Looking like an angry brute doesn't suit him at all on top of the outfit just being ugly, at least his expression in the art of him reflects his personality.
>>737203024Testament was a hermaphrodite in old print works, they/themstament was an inevitability rather than a 180 on the character's arc
>>737179138Strive's redesigns wouldn't be nearly as hated if they had classic costumes, but they don'tThe game actually just announced they're doing battle passes with alt costumes, and the design they teased it with was a new Dizzy costume in a hijab
>>737171075>UnikaWho?
+R lobbysteam://joinlobby/348550/109775242372501226/76561198095320851
Awful. They ruined all the characters. Censored and personality and lore ruined. Some things just stupid design wise or make no sense.
>>737209726I hated this version the moment it was revealed. Totally ruined my favorite character from Xrd. Also gameplay redesigned to be worse and annoying.
>>737187213Forget the slutsuit, I WANT HER WINGS BACKWhy the FUCK are they a pair of Eddies now!??!
>>737165647anti-male designs are the easiest red flag of a woke slop game.
>>737165647...I highly prefer the 2024 version. For me it's 2024 > 2000 >>>>>>> 2015
It just symbolizes her hymen being torn apart.
>>737165647I like Queen Dizzy. Don't get me wrong, I like her old designs to. But I like her new one, it fits with her story arc.
>>737208881Testament was sentenced to sissy bimbofication therapy for his crimes in +R
Make dizzy jizzy
>>737216537and is still paying for those crimes because they nerfed him in 2.0
>>737211974>It doesn't even have the animal (bunny) theme any longer, that Valentines used to share.Gee, it's like she's becoming her own character now and not just another Valentine
>>737165647Jesus, all three of these look terrible
>>737178463(you)
>>737211974They explicitly show in Xrd's story where they immediately get them both to quit that animal shit and with Jack-o's existence that the animal shit is only when they are enemies and tools.
>>737201451he has them in costume 2
>>737165647Redesigning an established character can be alienating to longtime fans.
>>737204513i mean her proportions
She may be basically wearing a hijab in her new outfit but I honestly think her latest design is really cool. Hard to put into words what I like about it.
>>737169969>>737170014this
>>737201451nigga it's a different outfit
>>737165647Don't mind them as long as the original outfit is still available. In some instances they can look better.
>>737217449"Mordern" Sonic is weird to think about when you think about how Sonic Adventure wasn't even 10 years into the series' life and tweaking proportions aside, the only other redesign Sonic's cast has gotten was in Boom and that was promptly buried.
>>7371656472024 version is just trad wife shit. You should be happy
>>737213310>How to make a boring zoner even more boring.They really want to get rid of the character fanbase or what?
>>737165647Every design is a massive downgrade. Another case of Japan chasing the mythical modern audience
>>737165647I like it. You gotta remember she's just a child when she was first released. She didn't grow up to be a slutty cumdump. Actual character progression.
It wouldn’t be nearly as bad if there was an option to choose the classic/Xrd costumes.
>>737189483>Looking different in a sequel isn't censorshipok DEI blackrock investor
>>737181815Oh no, you poor thing! So oppressed! You should probably kill your entire family and then yourself and become free of the awful awful oppression you're going through D:
>>737175061The entirety of air play is nearly absent in Strive, so no dust loops, IAD combos, IAD mix, etc. Variable wakeups and proper facing up/down routes are gone. Stun is gone and so are IKs. Dust is streamlined and braindead. No more DAs, Slashbacks, and the tech that came with them, also the RCs got simplified (again). Most characters literally lost a third to half of their movesets, with some getting it worse or just totally reworked into retard padded kits. There is also the tons and tons of OSs and character specific quirks like install cancels, techless dusts, grounded tks, etc. that are obviously absent. I am glossing over a lot, but you really do not understand how much simpler Strive is compared to older GGs, especially XX.
>>737180282>a diaper faggot goofing around did all thatEven more hilarious.
>>737211507If you're expecting him to look like he has a bowl cut or something, no, we can both see his haircut isn't as bad as that. It's just gone from crazy huge spikes extending way off his head to looking like he spends half an hour brushing it straight down. Ultimately, I don't expect everyone to agree that the Xrd designs were better. I just don't want anyone to think they got an "improved version." They're different designs in Strive going for different things. They're not bad on their own, they just don't look like the characters I got used to in GGX and Xrd.
>>737170864This. The problem is so many people are plebs they would not be able to pull this off. When I first saw it I was laughing my head off at all the complainers.
>>737181815I wanted to see it to make sure. Yep, she still looks good.
>>737181815Praise Allah
>>737217728yeah and its dogshit.
ghey
I lost all interest in Strive when I saw they censored the females. Praying the supposed classic costumes unfucks the censorship and I'll actually buy a copy of the game.
>>737170864You know I fell out of playing and never followed up on it, but when I first saw her new outfit my first thought was "That's all going flying with a Gamma Ray isn't it?"Feels a bit vindicated knowing my (king's) girl is still a freak under all that.
>>737208803I don't know...
Is Ditzy dlc wotrh a buy? I got back with Strive to play Jam but she's a huge disappointment and I need to fill this gap.
>>737230956Dizzy is kind of whatever right now. Wouldn't exactly recommend playing her.
>>737230584Its a modhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNZP5RQegeM
transexuals ruined the fgc and gg
>>737190252>Its literally the best looking fighting gameIt's not. Looks like shit, plays like shit. Play R+ instead.
>>737210353Now explain Jam's radical outfit design in a mere month. Did her new bnuuy friend infect her with a "panties bad" mind virus?
>>737223485Holy fuck, nobody sane can actually miss the variable wakeups. What am I reading
>>737232932I dunno about you bud but I try to change clothes at least once a month
>>737223228God forbid a person complain on the internet. What's the world coming to?
>>737181815Muslims are fucked in the head.
>>737233210Sorry, that is simply not permitted under the current Online Regime.
>>737179408Typical bootlicker response.
>>737232650I believe I will choose to live in ignorance rather than face a retarded truth.
>>737232946Just go back to your modern fighters where you don't have to worry about matchups, movement tech, or defensive options.
>>737233690What fucking nonsense. The variable wakeups sucked ass because the top tiers had shit like a fat CSE grinder to catch all and the middle to low had to frame perfect their meaty. Nobody liked that shit dude. Unless you were a real tier enthusiast I cannot see how you enjoyed learning dozens of timings just to do what others did for free.
>>737165647Strive is so fucking shit
>>737181248>Blazblue character designs are such trash, literally anyone from Strive has more charm and personality than all of these light novel rejects put together.
>>737230956Yeah if you like that kind of character. She's one of the characters that received net buffs going into the patch that nerfed nearly everyone. If you want to play her because you played her in previous games, she is unfortunately very different from how she played before. I don't know why Ishi did it but it's annoying to change the playstyle of a character this much
>game>skullgirls>cg anime
>>737187213wtf s this shit, where are her wings?
>>737237220Dizzy is the ultimate test for if the people bitching about her design change actually care about guilty gear. People that bitch about boobies are as big of secondaries as bridgetfags. People that bitch about how hard they raped Necro and Undine actually care about guilty gear. What they did to her wings is like Eddie but a million times worse since at least he had an excuse of already being a shapeshifting shadow blob.
>>737237220What? Undine has never had wings.
She IS the wing
>>737237494Based.
