Should I main Sin or should I main Ram?
Is there a strive cheat to RC whenever a burst input is made
>>493063975noyou're just getting read, brother
>>493064062I refuse to believe that when I run up and gold burst and the guy's reaction is to RCThis happened twice
>>493064924post the replay this sounds hilarious
>>493063975I've never seen one myself but I could easily believe it. Online cheating is running rampant in sf6 and tekken doing all kinds of automatic responses so it's clearly not even hard to make.
>>493063975Autohotkey scripts is the Alternative Play
>>493069440we have to break the rules in order to succeed....
>>493070542Who is this "we"?
>>493070680You, me, and Company Director, silly.
>>493070756The only time me and your Company Director will ever be associated with one another is when he and I pass one another on a street crossing and I clandestinely inject him with a curable disease that he cannot afford to pay the treatment for and he dies painfully and slowly all alone with the knowledge that he died for two reasons: Disrupting the 'flow' of my general and being poor.
>>493070998This but instead of giving her a disease, I'm plaping Company Director bussy
damn jacko is sexy
>>493074403Not a sexy as you.
First for my beautiful wife A.B.A!
ok wtf are sin's options in neutral ?
Can you reversal dp during a blockstring?
post funny frames
>>493077098fs, 2s are pretty much his only good neutral buttons to throw out, 6p has specific uses just like every other 6p, j.H is actually kinda good and elk hunt can catch people off guard. Check high level matches, but sin's buttons aren't great tbdesu>>493078007Only if there's a gap
>>493078497Should've mentioned his k buttons are good enough at closer ranges since they're a few frames faster but I feel his S buttons are more important, 2k is relevant since it's a fast low and has ok range
>>493077098damn just realized with the DP changes Sin went from having one good neutral option to zero
was this a cool comeback or no, I felt like I was done for sure when I got hit by 6H
>>493078440
>>493079435Looks cool yeah
>>493079535Why would arcsys make him look like that? Why did they make just lean so shit? Why does most finer have 0 hitstun?
>>493079435Strive is fun to play, but not fun to watch.
>>493079435the next time you see pot doing slide head from fullscreen and you have 50 meter hit that faggot with an HMCgood conversion for the kill at the end though
>>493079715just lean is kino because it doesn't have the drawn out emotional crescendo at the end like every other strive track... it doesn't have any fat... it's JUST LEAN
DBFZ is pretty Guilty Gear final balance patch now.
>>493079435I can only cum these days when making a sick one pixel comeback. Nice one kid keep stacking em up.
Who should I learn as my secondary to Sin? Johnny or Ram?
>>493080280Johnny is cool. Ram is boring. Do with that knowledge what you will.
>>493080280bedpisser to knowledge check people
>>493080280Learn Rev2
>>493081559voltic deign my beloved, arcsys please give it back sin can have 3 supers as a nod to his father and shit
>>493081958I don't think they're adding more moves after the base roster finishes desu
>>493082386I know, and even then I think oki moves is the last thing they're interested in adding...
>>493061342Rev 2 lobby is closed.Sleepy time.May you dream of the cutest plap-cows.
>lose all my floor 8 games>go down to floor 7>win all my floor 7 games>go up to floor 8>lose all my floor 8 games...
why is nago's beyblade a hkd wtf you can cancel into this from whatever
>>493084474wtf i thought i was THE thread shitter, it's over...
>>493084987yeah I kinda just realized today that move is the entire character and nagos don't have to do anything except punish you for playing around it>oh I see, the ground game is literally rigged because of beyblade and clone>but what if I jumped in neutral, I'll be vulnerable to his 4 easy anti-airs but at least I don't have to worry about those moves>gets anti-air CH by beyblade :)
>>493084987It costs blood :)
Posting Ragna playing volleyball to remind you that summer has ended and he should've been the one who's announced for strive instead of Lucy
I thought this was Ky cosplaying Platinum at first glance
>>493086868This poster was stupid enough to vote for a guest character. Laugh at him. Ridicule him.
It was her turn.
>>493085123watch and learn lmao
>>493079435TechnicalsBros... We are SO back
>>493088903i just couldn’t get through his video. the way he talks and presents things is so faggy and disingenuous even if i agree; he could be saying “water is good for you” and i’d be watching thinking “oh shut up you fucking nerd”
>>493079715Just Lean is Aerosmith kino. Take that back
>>493090713the 1st video is him trying to be professional and fair but the 2nd is pure comedy, you should watch it
>>493061342jaggo op
>>493093231wtf why do I suddenly feel attracted to jack o for the first time
>>493077098Sin's neutral is very dependent on who he is facing. However, most of the time he is relegated to playing it very safe. Sin's S buttons are decently long, but they are marred with big hurtboxes before and after the attack. That means that he generally will trade or even lose when it comes to exchanging normals with other characters. This means that typically you have to play very flexible in neutral since a lot of characters have a few options that are really good in neutral while Sin has only arguably one in 2S. The issue with 2S being that it's 12 frames startup, which is fair considering it has like no recovery, but it's just unfortunate that it's his only great button. Before this season, I would easily say that Sin wins from defense or more specifically, his DP. The nerf to DP hits Sin the hardest by a mile since it was even a decent enough tool to use in neutral if you know someone is gonna use a tool that you would otherwise have no way to cover. Technically, DP is still there to use, but you can't kara super from it anymore and if they block then you are deal time a million. So DP in neutral is pretty much dead now unless you wanna do some mental damage. Sin neutral is just generally bad now, but that isn't to say he has no reward. All he needs is to get one decent touch and convert that into a kara super or at least a wallbreakBasically, Sin neutral sucks. You gotta play it by the ear since pretty much every character can bully you with their tools
is it really that hard for you guys to press your fullscreen low-profile massively plus approach buttondo you need a map to find the button?
>>493061342Sexy clown milf. There should be more
>>493105714Should have left the thread die
>>493105714Possy
breadly sin
The Ram and Leo ship is cute, I wish more people cared about it
>>493084474I did this untile I accumulated enogh matchup knowledge to get to higher floors.
>>493108605It’s funny that Leo gets more female voice lines than Johnny
>>493063975strive cheats can do anything boss nago can do, so prcing based on your burst input or inputting whatever is appropriate based on your wakeup input buffer is what youll mainly see
>>493108605I disagree but I respect the difference in opinion
i would like strive if it weren't for the offense, defense, and neutral all being shit
Why did they change some characters entire kits from previous games? I can get making damage or combos easier and making designs safer, that’s for esports and casual play, but why are some characters irrecognizable to play?
>>493121464>Why did they change some characters entire kits from previous games?They changed the entire game, so they changed their kits to suit the new game. It's not that complicated.
>>493095079Even a floor 4 fucker is going to react to elk hunt lmao
>>493121464Coins and traps are not pick up and play mechanics and filter opponents.
Do you guys actually react to things? I only make reads.
>>493124491I can only react to charged dust sometimes
>>493124491Start playing slime fighter 6 to keep your brain young
>>493090713tranny detected
>>493124491I can react to things with clear indicators, like air dashes, Dust, and dash cancels. Everything else feels like it's not meant to be reacted to and comes down to RPS coin flips.
>>493127079>Everything else feels like it's not meant to be reacted tothis mf gets hit by bull bash
>>493127669BUSHA
holy fuck why is this general so dead
>>493133916it was like this end of s2
>>493133916People are waking up to Strive being bad
>>493121464What the other anons said, Strive is more focused on just getting one hit and going into wallbreak so characters that have to set things up wouldn't work here. See how Deja Vu is instead tied to the character of Bedman? instead of Bedman setting them up on screen. Also if a characters main gimmick requires skill or much thought then that's a no-go, it goes against Strive's core principles of having a low skill ceiling and low skill floor to match so that anyone could get a win against anyone.
seems like they need a reminder
>>493137857oh no no nonono...
>>493137857more like xturd
>>493137857KEK
>>493137857-ACK
I am unironically looking forward to Strive Dizzy at least in part because I know it will make Xturders mad.
>>493139059I hope they add all the xrd characters and I have no real reason to touch xrd other than longing for prime sin
>>493139059why would they be mad if they're not playing strive?
>>493139462I honestly don't understand it but it happens
>>493133916The patch is pretty good compared to the last patch. It just feels like an intermission period since there's no new fancy shit to really ogle at though. No hype tournaments.Also it's 10:30 AM in the middle of the weekday.
>>493133916>AP Inc. dies>general dies with itmakes you think how many employees/followers they had.
>>493061342For next thread we should add some specificity to some upcoming AWT events.Ultimate Fighting Arena (France): September 13-15,2024ThunderStruck (Mexico): September 14-15,2024Clash of the Olympians (Greece): September 20-22, 2024
>>493142130Nah. The dates are already on the AWT site. The france expo is more likely to have a new reveal lol
>>493142637It's for streamboaring. Makes more sense than Having 3 characters that won't be here for at least 4 months.It's on the AWT site, sure, but how many people actually click to stay updated? How many people knew of the AWT event that Gobou just won?
>Kizzington only has 12 viewersWhat the fuck happened?
>>493143143He picked a side and is now paying the ultimate price
>>493143143Nobody said being GAWDlike was easy
>>493143282What side between whom?
>>493143537
>>493143701Yikes
>>493082548Rev 2 lobby is up.Name: gilly gear.Password: no pass.Lobby connection req: 2 or greater.Hosted in: NA west coast.
>>493143143I can only watch so many Percy matches
>>493094265>using faust as an examplei thought it was well known now that fausts buttons are disgusting and his only actual weakness that keeps him from top tier is the lack of damage from combos due to relying on rng items
>>493143701Damn. Unsubbing
>>493143701He should be streaming Overture
oh great, slayer is close to me on my wakeup and going to do cS, that means i can do fd and not get counter hit because i'll block the cSand would you look at that i lost the round
>>493148416The trick is beating Slayer is never getting hit
https://x.com/Nathanielawierd/status/1822246401759154191This is adorable.
>>493152347Cute
>>493152347ummm hes actually gay... you should delete this
>>493144320
when will millia actually be playable outside of whiff punishing and praying your opponent is dogshit and doesnt know the matchup
>>493162764I hope she and Zato remain dogshit even in season 4.
>>493162764When they fix I-no's air dash.

Lobby when?Lobby soon?Lobby doko?
>>493167402>>493144320There is one already up
All that I’m saying is that when it’s time to pick sides. I’ll be playing plus r (respectfully)
Pronounced like rhino
All that I’m saying is that when it’s time to pick sides. I’ll be playing overture (disrespectfully)
>>493170393All that I’m saying is that when it’s time to pick sides. I’ll be playing isuka (neutrally)
>>493170562Guilty Gear doesn't have neutral
>>493070542this guy is memeing cause those scripts are 1kb but i unironically have a script for the fbrc overhead. It's just such an autistic and game specific input i did not feel to grind it
>>493121464cause some old characters were terrible game design experiments that failed hard. Like +r testament and xrd elphelt
>>493171113I’m scared how they’d ruin Zappa
>>493171113Uhhh actually all the old Guilty Gear fans loved old Testament and Soive ruined him (I have a combined singled digit number of hours in +R and Xrd)
>>493171516I hope they say he choked on a corndog and died and now s-ko takes his place and plays completely different
>>493171810could shoehorn a message about gender dysphoria with her taking over his male body. genius
>>493171810Zappa dies but comes back as a ghost himself with all the powers of his ghosts active at the same time
>>493173226that means sword and dog aren't separate from him so really it wouldn't be that bad
>>493173374Realistically I wonder how they’d do the dog since throw is different now
>>493144694Is Faust really considered like that? I feel like he's not even top 10 in terms of characters having fucked up normals. Well if Faust don't count, then how about top 1 character May?
>>493171519People really liked Testament's character and personality- they're great in the two drama CD side stories on top of having a really unique and cool sounding voice.Gameplay-wise... everyone memes on Test's gameplay, it's generally accepted that they are high S tier in +r and extremely annoying to fight but this doesn't suddenly mean that their gameplay should be entirely changed, just reworked in a way that only a sequel can while keeping the trap gameplay. I'm sure there's a middle ground between unplayable in ML (although this is mostly due to not being able to tech or charge) and top of S in +r while keeping the traps.They ruined both gameplay and character in Strive. That's not even getting into design.
>>493173538This one is also lol worthyI miss Spic Sin poster
>>493173730>while keeping the trap gameplaytraps are an meme anime playstyle and I pray they're eradicated
>>493173730great parody of the dumb r/kappachino non-gamers
>>493173853You're playing an anime game>>493174203Have you actually played any game besides Strive for an extended period of time?
>>493174727>You're playing an anime gameIs it tho?
>>493175945:3
+R is like the current day DBFZ. Total clownshow.If you really want to understand what real XX was like, you should look up previous revisions of that game.
>>493178893I always said +R was the best
>>493178893AC and Slash were even more of a clownfest. The only XX game that was respectable was Reload and it still had shit like Slayer bite loops.
>>493178564¯\_(T3T)_/¯>>493144320What happened to the lobby?
>>493178893dbfz is kino now. it's basically umvc3 with how every character is viable while actually having at least some bullshit thing to abuse.before dbfz was just some characters having better mix / normals but now it's specific stuff which is a lot more entertaining
Those who dream of Heaven

>>493180569Lobby's still up.

what can I do against Axl when he does the low attack where his blades come back and he does a lariat at the end? What is that is that a grab?
>>493192689Finished to this one the last time it was posted. AIs getting pretty good.
>>493192886That's a command grab, yeah. You can jump it and go beat him up for it, it's not active until he comes back so if you see him throw his sickles straight down into the ground you can react by jumping
>>493192689ai art has been really good lately. i've been liking a bunch on pixiv
>>493192689what the fuck are people using nowadays for ai porn? i gotta give this a try if it looks this good
>>493193119Do you also know what to do against that one Elphelt attack where she jumps on her gun and repeats it 100 times ?
>>493192904>>493193120>>493194030Are these all bots?? tf
>>493170849soive is the only gg game without neutral and mobility, 2021joinerbro
>>493194460Elphelt's rekka is basically a high/low/reset that you just have to guess right on two blocks in a row
>>493192886you can back dash it too
>>493194769Nothing wrong with AI when it looks good.
>>493196414You're a stupid nigger who posted shitty porn then replied to himself 3 timesThese threads have gone to shit

>>493229535Strive bashing would be funny or credible if Xrd and +R weren't dead as shit
>>493144694In the words of one of the top faust players"Faust would be high or top tier if Ram, Anji, and Chipp didn't exist"
>>493238864Way older games like +r or Xrd will always have less players than something newer but you can almost always go to +r quickplay and find someone with a good connection to you (there will always be people but at weird hours you'll only see japanese players) and generally Xrd will have a public lobby for you to join and get games in, there has even been lots of new/bad players in these public lobbies lately.Not that you would know.
>>493239823good thing anyone with an iq above the single digits knows that any publically stated pro opinion is 100% disinfo
>>493246919That was more of a Faust upplay statement than a downplay statement
>>493246815Upvoted
>>493250774Couldn't you just let the thread die instead of shitting it up more? Isn't that your goal?
>>493250774epic clapback, sis
>>493246815Yeah +R has the best online system I’ve seen, more games should have the quick play lobby.
>>493251168Schizo
Delilah needs more art
>>493260625I agree. Specifically of the erotic type
i, for one, am tired of the majority of gg artists drawing ram like a cute moeshit 20kg skeleton loli. shame that strive mainly attracts low test cgdct zoomers and trannies
>Base Roster: Primarily Strike/Throw with a Setplay machine and a high/low dispenser as an experiment. Any char that does have an overhead/low mix will be pretty negative because we want more thoughtful interactions.>Season 1: Okay high/low is fun, so let's meter it so people don't constantly have access to it. Making these really swing-heavy chars is fair because they're weak in other areas.>Season 2: This high/low stuff is really cool, what if we just give it to every char moving forward?>Season 3: We need to make high/low mix more rewarding, bc I just don't see the high damage people are talking aboutSeason 4 already has fullscreen high/lows that you can combo off of with Testament now lol
>>493200454no but all the tsubaki themes are bangerhis best stuff is still overture https://youtu.be/7sXYsUZps1U?si=5iWPRxzP-fjbeclV
No offense, but is this series supposed to be homoerotic or something? The males look rlly glammed out and stand in feminine poses. Some of the game covers almost look like a yaoi too.
>>493263824What's gay about admiring men?
>>493263445I wish they were this motivated about the gatlings
>>493262987
>>493263824There is nothing gay about straight flamboyant men.

>>493263445>fullscreen high/lows that you can combo off ofZappa next season confirmed
i can't stand the eu competitive scene. It's a big circlejerk and there are a couple of troons (rarer in eu) that know me and always try to play or spark a conversation dumping their mental illness on me and if i snap i get ostracized by the whole scene and can't practice anymore. Leave me the fuck alone
>>493264262I think their commitment to keeping gatlings universal, more than anything, is why Jam isn't in Strive right this second.
>>493263445Bedman?’s 6H is bad thoughbeit.
>>493251820I love +R.
>>493266558I'm fine with them being universal. Just give them more routing options than the same two options. You're either pressing f.s > 5h, or 2k > 2d.
>>493266558Leo breaks the rules

Reminder if you can't figure out what's safe/unsafe after 1 or 2 matches you don't have the gene and are better off just playing something else.

OHHHH I CANT WAIT FOR NEW DLC CHARACTER SO ME AND MY TRANS COMUNITY CAN EXPRESS OUR SKILL TOGETHER MASHING STRIKE OR THROWS! NEW SEAASON NEW FUUUN! SOON ILL BUY THE NEW CYBERPUNK DLC CHARACTER BECAUSE I LIKE MODERN CHARACTERS
>>493279368All the time I'm saying this
>>493279368this but unironically :3
>>493275345Troons fapping to this just further cement that the tranny stuff is literally just a fetish. Imagine if furfags was considered a protected class. Sonicfox knew this so he had to adopt that silly they/them pronoun.
>>493277902...and they all want to have sissy feminizing sex with Bridget.
>>493280827Truly the most based nation on the planet
>>493266314We feel you habibi
>>493275345I don't care how cute they make bridget I'm not beating it to a penis haver
>>493144320Lobby's up.
What would her Hitboxes look like in Strive?
>>493284182jam was daisuke making racial jokes which he finds funny so he wont ever add her because he knows his new fanbase would scream at him
>>493284182probably not like that. everybody lost disjoints coming to strive
>>493284387https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9osiBE1Ca0She sounds pretty chinky in River City Girls. Also that's Juno in OW.I want to here her AIYAH while I steam her pork buns.
>>493284387racism be damned I want ryujin
>>493284921>"GET COOKED" and pulls out a frying panWhy is she an Overwatch character?
Rev2 is taking over the general
I'm going back to my scrub roots and playing nago, I should've been told that blood lvl 3 5h is like beak driver
>>493285579they didnt know she played a racist chinese caricature im sure.
>>493286434Nago is unironically very funAll the more shame that he's crazy overtuned
>>493286904only reason hes fun is BECAUSE hes overtuned>dash cross screen almost entirely invisible into command grab>high low off round start if you dare press a button>gap closer thats also a combo starter thats also an oki setup thats alsotell me how you would have fun on the character if you cant do stupid shit like tping back and forth then hitting a close slash thats the size of a quarter of the screen
>>493287668The 623H/214H guessing game isn't what's fun about Nago desu. Even in s2 when that didn't exist I still had fun playing himI agree that the fukyo beyblade pressure IS what makes him fun but only because it's juxtaposed against him getting to pretend to play neutral for a while. He gets to be a zero to sixty character in a way that not even ABA does which feels good to play. Even if his offensive options (IE if he went back to just strike throw) got tuned down he'd still be fun
>>493287668/ggg/ always pretends like playing back-foot characters in anime fighters is fun. “Oh boy this would so much better if I’m in a cuck state for most of the round and then go ham”
>>493288359That is wildly low effort
what a heavy day...
>>493288445What are you talking about? /ggg/ doesn't act like that and why'd you bring your cuck fetish into this? Don't you feel embarrassed to have typed this?
>>493289581“BSU should be Slayer’s wincon” and other dumb shit gets posted all the time here
Slayer should get aids when he BSUs gay looking characters like Anji
why did I buy season pass 4
>>493275345how can i summon 1 bridget
>>493291842Unika is probably going to be fun to play
>>493291842queen dizzy footjobs
>>493061342What if likeEvery character in Strive is good and everyone in this game can cook your ass if the player is competent enough Crazy to think about, right?
>>493292389But you just can't with Baiken.
>>493292389This is already true.
>>493292389if only Baiken, Elphelt and Testament players were competent…
>>493292389What is this in response to?
>>493293659Tierlists.Downplaying.Uplaying.
>>493292389nah nigga
>>493296758And yet a Testament can still win against a Happy Chaos
>>493296758At least a third of those results are from events like the Australian major where AssholeFondler94 snuck into top 8 with Pot bro
>>493297452there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop me from complaining about chaos being a disgusting piece of shit
if you need any other proof that strive saved this series from oblivion
>>493297959I know I just wanted to type AssholeFondler94
>>493298346But that's sols classic design
>>493298945doesn't matter. They probably googled sol badguy. He wouldn't even be in the game pre strive
>>493299086>doesn't matter.I think it does matter.
>>493296758It’s nice to see an honest mid tier thrive in a RPS heavy game like Strive. GAWDtano has done it again
Season 4 fucking sucks. 3 characters are turbo brainlet casino simulators and Johnny is just HC lite but with even bigger boy buttons.
>>493298346finna release a classic sol dlc for strive
>>493298346>>493299086It's Sol's classic design from when ML was originally released because it was a playstation exclusive. You can even see him charging before he does a volcanic viper just like in that game if you watch a video of him in action
>>493299086Missing Link released first on the PSX. It is obviously a nod to that, gamewar tard

if this fucking tranny keeps replying to all my posts trying to give me advice i'm gonna fucking murder him...
Would air recovery in Strive break the game?
>>493301870I think it would actually be kinda cool as long as it wasn't mash to techIt would probably go against the whole casual philosophy though since people would have to change combo routing for air tech times and that's too hard for modern fighters
>>493302012could be automatic like the auto ground tech. few frames of invincibility for someone dropping their combo. could even make it recover left or right depending on the di like smash
>>493302669Honestly I'd rather have delayed wakeup than air techingAlthough I guess with Strive recovery times doing delayed wakeup would just have Sol doing cS cS cS on your body until you're up
>>493296758ASW should really just uncuck Axl’s launch jS. The powercreep has caught up with it
>>493301870oh great yet another universal mechanic to make baiken worse.
>>493265117>unblockable move that requires no setup and leads to a full combo meterless is bad??????????
Please don't start this shit again
>>493281191Low test

Is the Soiver trying to convince people he's happy playing Xrd?
Do you think Justice was trying to trick him?
>>493307914But I am having fun with Xrd?
All I'm saying is if Revelator was so good why didn't they make a Revelator 2?
Lol nice ragequit bitch. Get back here and give me my Celestial
>bait parry with gunflame>oops actually baiken did super, get counter hit :)>miraculously clutch the round, showing i'm the smarter player after all>about to win the last one now, bait parry with gunflame prc backwards this time to cover super>he did super again, gg i win, just need to block the rest of it>wait they actually got hit by gunflame? fuck it's not over>hit him again, get some good oki>bait parry with gunflame just to be safe>does super againyeaaah that's enough strive for the week
>Blue archive OST playing>Dustloop open>Nago selectedyep, striving time
>>493310024Second RQ of the day already. I love Celestial.
>>493310024>>493311314why aren't you exposing them? at least say what character they were
whenever I watch top eights for any fg it always looks soulless even if the game itself is cool as hell
>>493313297except xrd, don't know how I left that out haha
I thought xrd fuckers could not get any more cringeI stand corrected
>>493313394>>493313570We don't play that crap here.
>>493313570Right? They're so cringey. Now let's get back to watching literally any top strive player stream so that we can avoid cringe.
>>493311429I got my satisfaction. I know who they are. Let's just say I've seen one of them in lobbies here.
>>493265243And even if it hit the frame it's active the animation is so fucking unique and readable you'd have to be asleep to get hit by it
>>493314189You got a problem with my n*gro LK?
>>493314414fuck, you're cool

why is sin allowed to press buttons non stop like a brainless nigger
>>493316246Why are you letting him eat so much?
>>493316246sin is specifically bad at doing that, what are you doing
>>493314414what was the matchup?
>>493316246Sin is like the only character that I have a good time punishing buttons for. What are you doing nigger?
just rizz he was mogged
>>493317517KEK
It's been 3 days
>>493319032Since you looked at me
>>493319032ready for the rematch?
Hello? Paging AP Director for Proof of Destruction regarding your copy of Guilty Gear -STRIVE-. If you could send that over, we can get to work dissolving that branch.
>>493322443Not sure how ready I am, didn't do as much training as I wanted, but I am ready
average pot fraud btw
>>493322614i really don't know what other proof to give you other than this. i told you guys i'm done with strive.
>>493323369make the room!!
>>493322982steam://joinlobby/520440/109775242824466182/76561198084957948 i haven't really been training either. just been playing mario sunshine desu.
>>493323660WHO WON
>>493326728me ;^)
>>493326728It was closer than it looks
>>493327308Me in the background having tea
>>493327397why are you black
>>493327454Got left in the oven too long
>>493327308>>493326728I got curb stomped trying to get in on bedman's zoning is hard. ggs again bro.
>>493327868xrd bedman showed me that tier lists mostly mean shit until you learn the matchups and get good enough at the game
>>493328023Wait, is he supposed to be low tier???
>>493328167zato, axl, pot, bedman and jack-o are the bottom five characters in xrd from my perspectivethis tier list puts answer instead of jack-o which, yeah, sure, he's not all that good either
>>493327308Bedman is the kind of guy it would feel really good to beat up
>>493328474wait wrong dustloop I guess elph can't be that low
>>493327868I think you were going for too committal of options and really wanted to keep your zoning and grinders set up, it let me keep my distance once I had my task A seal up because I knew what you were gonna do next. I think there are times when you can zone (like when you've got me in the corner and are chipping me out with grinder enhanced projectiles) and times when you have to run in. When you did run in, you tended to get a lot of good damage off of me. Start up of Task A is long (37 frames!!) and I have the bad habit of never using yrc so you've gotta see that and go on the offensive. Also there were times when you were letting me get away with fake shit, grounded Task C is -2 on block, you threw me out of it like once but other times you just let me mash and I'd normally be able to take me turn back (people don't know this... once I fight better people I'm gonna start getting blown up). Also the good combo you do let's me tech at the end, idk how Ky works but you should try to find something that'll knockdown because teching like that let's me set up Task A (even if I didn't do it in our games... oops). I'd also say that you're ending your corner pressure at a place that let's me take my turn back pretty easily, Bedman's doesn't have a lot of good defensive options so take advantage of that.Sorry for the unsolicited advice but I figured you would appreciate it, I'm looking forward to fighting more. (mostly since I never once got to do the combo I practiced!!)
>>493328637Japs would always put Elphelt low compared to Americans as I recall, with a lot of the dominant Elphelts being outside of Japan. Kind of similar to how they put Leo lower than the rest of the world in Strive.
>>493328167one of the worst, he does pathetic damage on most hits and his pressure is faker than it seems, his neutral is surprisingly good in most matchups but has a couple where he just can't really play and his only reversal is a super that isn't throw immune and can be grabbed post-flash(but is plus on block at least)Still yeah Xrd is not a game where tiers actually matter until you're playing the matchup "for real," if you don't know how to deal with his stuff he's overwhelming, you're constantly running into shit and he just loops djv pressure, tick throws and instant overheads over and over>>493328474>>493328637japan never had any good Elphelt players so they always underrate her. Answer is also definitely not bottom tier, he was just really underexplored since the game was on its way out when he released.
>>493329273Another thing about grounded Task C, the gap inbetween the fit and 2nd hit is quite long, you can anti-air or DP if you don't want to punish it at the end. In general there was lots of fake shit you let me do, most of my pressure was fake, go study dustloop.>>493328167He's a very knowledge-checky character, once you learn what he can and can't do and how his moves work, there's a lot that you can take advantage of.On top of having a weird airdash which is good for mixups but not good for getting out of the corner, only reversal is a a pretty slow low-range super that can be thrown, his defense is pretty bad.And requiring seals to do good damage, control space effectively, and do effective mixups (the dreaded 2 step gameplay).All make him pretty low tier once you know the matchup. That isn't to say that he's unplayable, Xrd is relatively balanced minus a few outliers.I yapped a lot but I don't really know what I'm talking about... so take it with a grain of salt. GGs again.
I'm so tired of faggots rq'ing during celestial challenge. Why are fraudlewis players like this?
>>493331048It is annoying, but I have some sympathy for them just because the Celestial challenge is so ass. They probably just want to get it over with.
>>493329273>grounded Task C is -2 on blocki thought it was plus. every time i tried to punish it i got hit with 2ps afterwards so i stopped trying to punish it. i was mostly trying to dodge and air throw but kept whiffing. it's really hard to tell what's punishable in this game with the 'punished' text like strive has. i'm used to playing zoners, so running close corner pressure is something i need to get used to.
>>493246815>less players than Concord before refundsI wonder how many poor fools you guys baited into buying Xrd just so they can see empty lobbies all day. Better hop on pisscord and hope and beg to get a match with some terminally online imbecile.
>>493331048johnny 6k is cheaper than anything in gl's kit and i'm glad he rq there instead of giving you an easy win
>>493331940>get a match with some terminally online imbecile
>>493331940Fortunately, we don't actually play that crap here.
>>493331048The whole playerbase is infected unfortunately. Especially big body chars for some reason.
There are only 8 non-PC players in the top 100. What gives?
>>493332869The game is just predominately played on PC. I think the only modern fighting game with a good amount of good players on console is Tekken, and even then that's probably predominately PC players, I just see more console players in tournaments and shit compared to other games.
>>493331539Yeah Punish text would be greatly appreciated, one of the few UI changes in Strive that help communicate something to the player.
>soivers need the game to tell them when they're punishingcan't make this shit up kek
>>493334067lmao

i hate pressing 66. i miss my dash macro so much. i don't like micro managing my inputs hoping my 236 doesn't turn into a 623. yes, im gonna keep complaining about this.
someone fight me
>>493336924Sorry I have to take my dog to the airport
>>493281441Lobby's back up.
>>493336924In rev2? Sorry we don't play that here your loss
johnny shouldn't be able to cancel mf. he would be much more balanced if mf was an actual commitment
i gotta seethe cuh thats what being a lil soivahs all about *dilates*
>>493336730What moves?
>>493336730lil soivah...
>>493339384what did she mean by this
>>493339916These moves
>>493340353Try 2366S/H I guess?
GG1 Keep Yourself Alive is so fucking good.
retard proof characters
>>493339916stun edge. vapor thrust. i know someone said do 4236 but i gotta get used to that.
>>493345470There are like 7 chars I would put before Elphelt
>>493346379yeah well 6 of them are right there
>>493346449I don't see a Millia, I-No, Goldlewis, May, Axl, Bridget, or HC there.
>>493345470>>493346628>neither my main nor the character I'm learning were mentionedI need to be more retarded
>>493346628Millia and May are the only ones that have mash buttons like that
>>493347576It's not just about the power of the button, it's about the retardation of the playerbase too. Axl has the worst masters with 2K, more than Sol and any other button, even when DP RC was a thing.
>>493348512the biggest culprits of not blocking right now by far are aba and slayerback in the day it used to be zato and faust
>>493348512Mashers* Gosh I sure hate autocorrectAlso I should have added Asuka there too, because he along with GL and HC win off of making you block, regardless of if you're actually hit or not.
>>493348512the meme is quite literally about the power of the button
>>493348665Yeah I can agree with that. So much HP to burn and if they're right, you guess for game on next touch.>>493348703So why isn't Axl there? It's a better abare than Sol 5K.
I should be allowed to use this super at blood level 3
>>493349094nigga i made the fucking meme. don't fucking tell me what my meme is about you mouth breathing nigger
>>493349505based
>>493345470Putting Slayers 5P on the list before Bridget 2K is valid af
>>493349505Cool and?
>>493349505S-s-s-s-sorry sir
>hit 100 hours of xrd
Stop giving me negative penalty for trying to maneuver around Johnny for fucks sake
>>493352059Gotta love how a “zoner” gets more tension for doing blockstrings than rushdown characters

>>493355763Celestial reset is goofy.
>>493356446>Celestial resetOh shit it's the beginning of the month fuuuucck I forgot.
>>493356696I still see similar shit later in the month too, it's still fucked all around even if you take the reset into consideration.
>can only play when everyone is asleep because my family is on tiktok or whatever the hell they do on their phones to slow down the internet>same time as when all the 200 pingers come and play on my regionfuck off
>>493355763>>keep running into people with 1000 wins and Celestial badges on floor 8 wtfWins with these people mean nothing when you take into account the time most of them have wasted just beating their faces into their controller
yeahhhhh i'll probably play xrd for another week then move on to something else. i'm being filtered by the 66 input(again) and it's honestly not fun playing around it.
Once a soivah, always a soivah.
>>493358554it's not even strive, it's just the ps5 controller feels so gross to play on.
dash macrocels…
What situational uses are Sin's 6K and 6H and how do I route into them?
>>493359041It's just better....
>>493358293I recommend +R
>>493358293just don't play a fraudulent dp character and you don't have to worry about input overlaps
>>493362149Not like my reversal dps ever come out.
>spend 3 years mastering the game and optimizing my character to the fullest extent>dlc character comes out that does everything mine does but so easily and consistently, a floor 10 player is now my equali never thought they would release a character this busted but here we are. i give up fighting these slayer fuckers. elo site is a lie, it is not possible for a slayer to be below 2K points since he is LITERALLY playing himself
>>493362959Maybe Fantasy Strike is more your speed lil soivah.
>>493363531I would pick the character with a 1 button dp, but i'm genuinely sick of playing her after so many years.
>pot gets 50%>hammerfallanything you do now can win him the round and it's completely out of your control
>>493368346SKILLISSUE
>>493345470anji 2p is a 5 framer that covers the entire screen with a blue box dont lump us in with 4f mongoloids stupid nigger
lil bro is red-blue colorblind...
>filtered by mashingYour offence sucks
God it feels nice to main Slayer and make delusional fags like >>493363403 upset that they have fooled themselves into taking a casual party game seriously
why don't you just make a dash macro in xrd with autohotkey? Takes 1 minute to do it
dizzy doko
why don't you just be bitchmade?
>>493379994I'm going to edge for the entire month of September + October to prepare
I know it's kinda an out of place request, but hear me out:My gamepad is kinda struggling right now to keep up with me, and I'm afraid it'll break soon if I continue mashing on Potemkin/Tager/Kune enough, so do any of you know any gamepads with D-pad that's layed out like dualshock, but as different buttons like, not a single piece of plastic hidden behind the case, but as 4 individual pieces/buttons? I just can't find any of those online, and I can't play on any other pad, because such D-pad has spoiled me too much
new moves doko desu ka?
>>493382359The Victrix ProCon lets you slot in different types of D-pads depending on which kind you prefer and people tend to like the controller generally speaking from what I've seen, however it is very, very unreasonably expensive. Aside from that you'll probably just want another DS4 or Dualsense.
>>493358293>>492943596god fucking dammit
>>493382783by buttons being individual pieces I meant something like picrel doe pardon my quality, it's hard to doodle when in train>aside from that you'll probably just want another DS4 or DualsenseAw, damn. I thought I could find some cheaper alternatives. But alright, I'll look into that
>>493384375Why did you draw cocks?
>>493384375Series X pad?
What's the point of push back if characters like Johnny can just get back in for free?
>>493358293Can you seriously not do anything even a little difficult (it's not even difficult, you just don't want to put in any effort to change your muscle memory)? Maybe leaving fighting games would be best for you
>>493386480That's when you need to use IB. But it's a 2 frame window and doesn't even change frame data so if you have bad buttons then you'll just continue to get fucked up. Goodluck anon!
>>493386480>back inlike happy chaos axl and nago, he never left
Should I play Strive?I really want to play this game competitively. I REALLY love the graphics and character designs more than Xrd.The problem is that I hear it is dumbed down and easy compared to other anime fighters and characters lost a lot of their moveset. That puts me off. Am I being stupid?
>>493359272>OOOGA BOOGA ME MASH DASH NOWThis is your mind on dash macro brainrot. No thoughts. Head empty
>>493387618yeah youre being silly. it has the same amount of moves as an sf6 character and no one calls that game's movelist dumbed down. (other mechanics though...)
>>493387750sf isn't really an anime/air dash fighter though, but you have a point
>>493386480Look at this goofy nigga that thinks he can jump out. You VILL play the 6P mini game and you VILL like it
>play Pot and watch replays>wow you can IBFD and get a slidehead whiff punish cool>play other character and watch replay>yeah just press your mid/low crush fasterThis is so gay
>yeah just press your mid/low crush fasteryeah. literally all you do as a s3 dlc character
https://youtu.be/jVwIV9AYmX4slayersissies.. our response?
>>493387618The skill floor and skill ceiling and scrunched very close together, you will feel braindead the entire time you play, and the game is extremely unbalanced in an unfixable way due to core design changes from past games. But if it's your first fighting game then you'll enjoy it until you know better.
>>493393362i disagree on the you will feel braindead. That really depends on who you play. Any S# character will make you feel this way but if you play someone like Ky, Bedman, Asuka, Gio, Pot, Jack-O, etc that goes away
>>493392897blud made a whole video seethin about slayerGAWDS
>>493387618It's more accessible. Some people confuse that for easier. In the same breath they'll complain about IB windows being too tiny or not being able to save meter FRCing. The restrictions put in place actually add more nuance to the game.
>>493384375This makes me want to open my PS5 controller and chop up my dpad into pieces, then put it back together, but I'm scared it'll have ruin the controller.
>>493383216Your first mistake was betting on me.
>beat this guy 15 times in a row>he wins one>leavesdamn i guess he won ggs
>>493395964the last match is the only one that matters so yeah, unironically he won.
>>493394310Could you please describe how it's more accessible without making it painfully clear that the game is easier?You'll find that the IB window being so small actually just makes it easier for the attacker to just mindlessly keep up their offense, this goes double for the top tiers who have moves that help them move forward or very long range moves because they don't have to think about FD either. And then they are guaranteed to break the wall and 9/10 times get a hdk which makes it easier for them to not care about meter with positive bonus. That's assuming they haven't already killed you thanks to Strive's high- much easier to obtain than older games- damage.No 25 meter options actually make it easier to know the one or two times that you should be using meter on you character along with using super to break the wall and Strive's meter gain is so high that you shouldn't really be running low when you do get to the few times you should use it.
>>493395964you beat him 15 times and you're still mad?
>>493396939no i just thought it was funny and wanted to share
>>493395964HOLD THAT SHIT NIGGA AHAHAHAHAHA
>>493395964downloaded ggs, literally no point in ever playing you again, I would've blocked you even
>>493395964It only takes one.
>>493061342Does anyone else feel bad when they beat someone who is supposed to be better than them a few times? Like I was expected to get destroyed by someone who is high rank but but instead it's just 3-6 because they kept doing stupid shit. Like DPing on wakeup almost every single time on the games I won and never changing their gameplan. Sure maybe they're just having fun and messing around but it's sad because I wanted something better from them and didn't have fun.
>>493398590nah i just think "why did he do that" "must be having an off day" "maybe he's drunk"and move on
>>493398590when I play against someone I know is garbage I usually play like a retard for the sake of trying new things or simply seeing how retarded my opponent is. this leads to me losing games I normally wouldn't lose and my ego stays intact because I know if I played seriously it would be an easy 10-0 sweep
>>493398590I only really feel bad for robbing someone when it comes off a dropped comboIf I fraud someone out in neutral or on defense it's all skill
baiken's fat milkers in my face
>>493398986Careful. This is the same mentality that created 'Alternative Play'.

>>493400517wtf is going with their ass in this picture
Is Johnny a bad matchup for Leo? I feel like I can never beat him unless I snowball him as hard as possible and it feels like Leo doesn't really have the tools to deal with card pressure. I'm just stuck in the corner getting guard crushed until he makes an obvious mistake that I can "punish".
>>493400678
>>493395964you only got meaningless points due to randoming him out, while he achieved a monumental victory through persistence and deep insighthold the loss retardbro

>>493406348No it isn't, have you even seen an ass before?
>>493400770>Leo doesn't really have the tools to deal with card pressurethat is literally every character at least you can stuff his frame traps
>>493406785i'm not playing this game with you. either look up how the ass works yourself or die retarded. i don't care.
>>493395964Sometimes I’ll play long sets with people and be losing and think “okay this is the last one before I go eat” and then I win that one and feel bad about leaving then
>>493407207You will forever be a stupid nigger retard because you can't accept that an artist drew an ass wrong
>>493396750>You'll find that the IB window being so small actually just makes it easier for the attacker to just mindlessly keep up their offenseActually, due to the change in gatlings, it's about equivalent. Going through the suite of gatlings into whatever gimmick you have from a 6f poke in older games, yeah no. There are also stronger defensive mechanics too. YRC is there, and hey, if you can't hit a 2f window, by reading your opponent's timing, you can always Deflect Shield. Dead Angle is character based and as such, not every character's is usable. Blitz Shield turns into a mini-game.>And then they are guaranteed to break the wall and 9/10 times get a hdk which makes it easier for them to not care about meter with positive bonus. Down from 10/10 and burst OS grabbing you so your Burst doesn't even matter.>That's assuming they haven't already killed you thanks to Strive's high- much easier to obtain than older games- damage.This is a psy-op. Every Guilty Gear has pretty retarded damage when you learn combos. The older games just have the benefit of less eyes focusing on them so less people have the optimal combos.>No 25 meter options actually make it easier to know the one or two times that you should be using meter on you character along with using super to break the wall and Strive's meter gain is so high that you shouldn't really be running low when you do get to the few times you should use it.No it's still about the same. You just feel pidgeon-holed because RCing for mix/combo extensions is usually the answer... As is in older games. Or you can use it to start pressure... Just like in older games.It sounds like you're just complaining that Strive has been learned as opposed to the older games, which have been forgotten. Tech lost and buried due to time.

If your character doesn't have any obvious gaps in their pressure and I have to spend meter in any way, shape or form to get out of said pressure, your character is fraudulent. Simple as.

>>493144320Lobby is UP.
Hello, AP Productions? I’d like to send a care package to one dude. Get him fitted with some stuff, just so he knows that the Director remembers. He's is not the military, just a regular dude, but he loves to dress up like he's in the Matrix sometimes. Or as that hairy-chested spy, Austin or whatever, the dude in glasses. Leave the package at the park, he will pick it up, I’ll let him know. Just hide it someplace between the cabinets, so that nobody sees it.
Hey AP 'Director' I have a proposition for you. Leave your badge in 5th floor restrooms, the stall with the Xturd floating in the bowl. I've got a plan to put you back on top. Do you still Strive for success?

Hey director, sorry for not responding in lobby- it is -2 but I'm mashing a 5 frame button so you need a similarly fast or faster button, I suggest going for the backthrow into setting up a grinder if youre gonna go back to Ky. And setting up the bubble so that I can't zone you out was funny
AAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
hmm i forgot i rolled to play xrdi guess i'll install it tonight and play it this weekend
>not having fun>go back to jack-o>don't need to worry about combos>don't need to worry about neutral>don't need to worry about moving>my air backdash is good>projectiles can't hit me>i can dp with 1 button>i have a command grab>i have a grounded overhead>just place houses and jd>suddenly having fun againi want to punch whoever told me to not pick my old main when switching games. i think it was LK.>>493466594nah i think i'm dropping ky. not my type of character. good for learning fundies but he's not as fun to me as i thought he would be. and now i have a way to deal with bedmans stupid head
>>493439432why do they keep doing thiswhy did they think it was a good idea in the first placeyou learn nothingthe downsides are colossalwhat idiot keeps making the calls that fighting games should remove most button pressing because apparently simple memorization is asking too much from some people but they do nothing at all about matchups, movement or teaching strategy
>>493471297I mean, if you don't want to focus on execution and prefer to focus on spacing and punishing, like in Granblue or Naruto Storm (which I like), it's really fun. But everyone can quickly play around it since you only have a small route, and the only influence you have is from special cancels. And if you're starting in a game with 25 characters you don't know the matchups too, having the game assist you in defense is really helpful.
>>493470939I've never fought a jack-o before so I was more just taking everything all in but you better watch out for 3H fucking you up next time you think you're safe, it can still get you over there. And sadly the minions aren't always active hitboxes but if I can learn the timings for their attacks then I should be able to teleport behind you from full screen. It's fun when faust throws a mini faust and then I'm able to choose whenever I want to teleport just by dashing into it because it's always active, I was hoping the minions would work the same way. On second thought, thank god the minions aren't just a horde of hitboxesAlso you probably don't need stylish mode on Jack-O, I feel like it's better to learn without it.
>>493472862Nah I turned off stylish mode shortly after we stopped playing. I only had it on to mess around. I can pick up and play Jack-O in the version no problem. I should feel more comfortable next time we play.
i'll practice rev2 combos... tomorrow...
I’m looking for the strive general I think I’m in the wrong place

>most fun people are having in GGG in a good while>they're playing rev2lolthe bitter boomers were right
>>493477305This is the season 4 intermission.
>>493477557Unless season 4 fixes all problems with Strive and makes it fun to play, Rev2-time will last. Although I hope to see all the big 3 games being played here. And maybe even ML, Overture, and Isuka too.
https://x.com/Fishy80957512/status/1831957923280626006I understand why some people ragequit now. If you fight a Slayer at some point in your session, you might get tilted the rest of your playtime.
>>493478147If s4 does kill Strive (which I doubt will happen), this general will go too. There's not gonna be "Rev2-time" after that
>>493480041Full doom and gloom.

>>493484947Wow she can spend 50 meter to do 80 damage and get bad okiImplessive
*counterhits your parry*heh should have worked on your defense more
>>493484351Nah. Entering the 4th year of Strive and design philosophy of characters has changed over time.3 chars have been top tier since launch and will remain forever. I think once we reach 30 chars, it'll be interesting to look at the tier lists and compare base roster vs DLC placements.
>>493486058>3 chars have been top tier since launch and will remain forever.Why do you think this is?
gg
>>493486576sol, may, nago

>>493503358oh yeah I forgot english is not phonetic. I was thinking about the -ɑː(ɹ)d sound like Charizard
>>493501608it is called xrd because they didn't think they could get away with XXX so they swapped out the 3 in 3rd, if you have no idea how to pronounce a word that is 3 consonants in a row just using the real word it's obviously standing in for is a reasonable choice

AAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>493516772Good post
>>493514004Even when Ram was decent I don't remember people bitching about her desu
>>493518026Ram was easily one of the most bitched about characters when the game was new.
>>493518236I didn't play at the very start of season 1 but I definitely don't think any of those DLC characters complained about Ram lol
>>493518369I don't know if Goldlewis or Jack-O players were complaining about Ram specifically, but I definitely think you would be more likely to see complaining about Ram over those two. Chaos was after that though, obviously people complained more about him.
>>493518483At the very least people in s2 didn't whine about Ram specifically. More that in general the s2 non-Asuka characters were all on the weaker side on release
>>493518369Eddventure won that set
>>493518369>>493518483goldlewis vs ram was unwinnable because ram corner pressure was unstoppableno, nothing you come up with would have worked
>>493518369Goldlewis 6P sucked as at counterpoking Ram before the buffs.Jack-O has to set up and Ram had a very fast dashHC can not do curse for freeTestament was quite literally a worseRam and the fireball startup were free CHs Ram hate was huge during 1.10 online discussion where she was topping Spooky top 8s
>>493518026ram is tied for worst character in all of strive with ky in omega tier and people still are totally deluded about what she actually can (and mostly cant) donot particularly shocking as the guilty gear community is only second to 2hu in not actually playing and understanding the gamewhats more grating is that its also full of 'people" like LK, hotashi, sajam, leffen etc, who have a large following for being good players, and yet make videos on youtube in which they get the framedata wrong for their main characters that theyve played thousands of hours on, so most certainly intentionally and maliciously using their room temperature iq fanbase for downplay purposes and secondary disinfo spread.framedata mod and dustloop are freely accessible to everyone and yet the general community will keep bitching about ram, sin, may and consider johnny, pot, and slayer low tiers - as long as twitter users dont find out about the framedata mod, because they prefer to watch lk lie about baikens (and everyones) framedata or whatever
>>493522969pure unfiltered mental deficiency

>>493063975theres a ton of (if X do Y) scripts in tekken and SF, im sure someone can make an anti burst script if they wanted to
>>493522969LolLmao
anyone notice how HC's results have been much worse since the patch dropped? What's up with that?
>>493531765He's mid tier at best. So is Slayer but don't tell /ggg/ that.

>>493531765A bunch of the top HC players took themselves off of rating update in case arcsys looks there for balancing. Otherwise I would expect him to have stats similar to the other bullshit characters this patch

>>493061342I saw an image on Twitter showing different Guilty Gear HUDs but it was missing a few games so I made this. It's a bit crunched and lower quality than I would like but tell me what you think. And also which one is your favorite? What aspect do you like about a HUD that you otherwise dislike?For me Slash is my favorite, I like the placement of things. And I dislike XX and Reload showing the animations of characters at the top a lot but I like how they reflect the color that you choose, more games should have the HUD show your alt.

>>493540586I like Rev 2's the most, though I don't like the portaits in Rev 2, not necessarily a problem with the UI itself though. Honestly the worst for me might be the ones around #Reload, Strive's UI is obviously worse in general, but just looking at what's here the absolute worst thing to me is the mini-sprites on the health bar that reflect whatever each character is doing at any given point. I find that shit so obnoxious, it's the only UI element I find outright offensive here, whereas Strive's worst offense with its health bar/Burst/RISC is just being bland.
>>493539361Ky & Sin
tranny game lol
>tranny game lol
>>493486576My theory is that when they designed Strive they unintentionally simplified out the importance of certain mechanical dimensions, particularly movement, but then balanced characters as if they still existed in the context of previous games. Some characters started out much more juiced than others, and the juiced ones tended to be fundamentally better at playing Strive too, so it's taken years of shoddy arcsys patching for everything to start balancing out.
>>493546491that's a pretty spot on analysis, it's why strive leo (despite being fundamentally extremely similar to xrd leo) is so much stronger
>>493540586https://x.com/AbbyIsNotComing/status/1832092567712006306
>>493540586i like the flat old health bars way more than strive's but holy shit i can't stand the old burst gauges
>>493531947See nobody would have a problem with Xitter troons if they were actually attractive, funny or both, but of course they had to choose neither.
>>493540673
>>493551673I am conflicted. The tits made my dick twitch but the flag pissed me off.
>>493549165Yeah this is the image I saw, just random shit at very low resolution missing a lot of games, in the wrong order, and featuring dustloop's image for +R and combo trail mode for Rev2. Just really annoyingly messy.Also the cope is some of these comments for Strive's UI is strange, they're trying to say that it's a different metal aesthetic but in order to do that they need to make things up about it, they have to pretend it's something entirely different in order to defend it. At least the people trying to defend it while acknowledging that it's just boring modern have some basis in reality.>>493549464The old burst gauges have a lot of misses, they started off weak and never really got to a point I would enjoy. Though I think Slash and base ACs are the closest to what I would like. Reload's is better than base XX but the metal frame around the word doesn't show how much burst you have so at certain amounts it can be hard to determine what amount you or your opponent has. None of them are as symmetrical as I would like and while obviously you can't make the word BURST symmetrical, it has very different shapes throughout, I would prefer if they tried to stylize the word so that it has a similar shape on each end. Perhaps by creating a point coming out of the left side of the B and shortening the point coming out of the right side of the T. AC+R does a surprisingly decent job at making it just one solid shape that doesn't have one side stick out a lot further than the other and it's still clear how much burst each player has at any amount but I just really hate how it looks.Though this is all a bit nitpicky, it's either full or it isn't and they are all clear when they are full thanks to changing color and (normally) becoming animated.
>>493265243>2011+13>still crying about greed sever
Leo is for children
Ky's sexiest iteration was xrd everything from his voice to his design, and even those cute pink glasses he wears.
>>493556065looks too much like a girl
>>493358293who the hell even uses dashes mid combo besides johnny anyway? if you're worried about doing stuff like runflame or whatever that shit is probably not even mandatory and you can get similar damage out of your character without dashing
>>493556065I'd say it was Overture, I like his crown and hair a lot there, shame they removed his fancy king design in Vastedge and never went back to it. There's also this image which is very nice but doesn't have the Overture outfit, looks more like Xrd Ky except this is when Sin was still young, guess Ky doesn't really age anymore thanks to gear aids.
>>493557621Sin is still young. Ky isn't even 30
>>493558624Yeah but he looks literally the exact same. Though by Sin being young I really just mean it's been 2/3 years.
>>493549165a better question is, why has no one ported an alternative hud into strive
fucking fraud
>>493560182Because UI modding (for the main bars) is really hard and the only people who do it just end up creating their own unique shit- I genuinely have no clue how they manage to make the Strive UI even worse or what compels them to do so.
>>493560484Wow lol. Slayer faggotry never ceases to amaze.
>>493560484we have to make a mutual pact to decline all slayer matches, had one ragequit on me too but I didn't post
>>493560182they did but fags refuse to update them
>>493560484kek he would have survived the super wallbreak
>listening to linkin park while i wait for games in guilty gearlife is good :3
>>493564438same, do you like the new singer anon? At first i didn't but halfway the concert she warmed up and did well. Really like her Faint and Paperclip rendition. Her and Shinoda's voice go well together
>>493556985I'm not trying to do anything fancy. Just basic movement and the inputs required to play. The output is super inconsistent, so I never know if what I want will come out or not. It's honestly very annoying. I'm trying not to say "clunky" but that's how it feels. Like my dpad hasn't reset to neutral completely so it ignores the following input. That type of clunky.
>>493565492Doesn't Strive have the same problem except worse where you get random inputs you did ages ago?
>>493565126She's good. I like how she still has some grit like Chester

god's strongest pot main
>>493566315If it does I never noticed.
>>493566750imagine playing a 9-1 match up and complaining when the guy you're raping has had enough
>>493566750wow. can't believe a johnny player would run an auto burst bait hack. there's no possible way you could've read that
>>493566392Justice time! (later)
>>493565492>Like my dpad hasn't reset to neutral completely so it ignores the following inputback when i played I-no on pad i'd do the diagonal with the analog and then one forward input with the d-pad, that makes it so you only have to do 2 inputs (9>6) to IAD instead of 3 (9>66), it made her airdash pickups much more convenient for me.maybe give that a try.
>>493566750Strive Johnny is so sauceless that his players need to clip #718th ranked Pot armor RC pop burst bait and RQ
>>493567929it's not like mindless zwei yrc is any sicker desu
>>493567929awwww did the widdle babby not like me making fun of his bwainded gwappler chawacter? :(
>>49356675lmao i think this pot is the only person i've ever seen who has the red skull icon
>>493566392Ah... pretty empty. Well I'll sit around in training mode a bit. Need to get rid of Xrd muscle memoru
>>493567929Are you a retard? Ragequitters should be made fun of. That's far more entertaining than any combo could ever be.
>>493568415Potemkin is one of the least braindead characters in this braindead game, chief. Pot meet slightly darker kettle lol
>>493566392>>493569626Bye-bye
finna fisto
>>493570930you closed it?
>>493566750johnny's card disappeared so quick wtf i feel like it should definitely stay on screen permanently until he gets hit
>>493549165Strive would’ve been so good if it was a direct port of +R with the same artstyle and gameplay
johnny should not receive anymore buffs. any balance changes he gets should be strictly nerfs. he's one or two tweaks away from being better than slayer
>>493571808No, it's open. I, a person who joined, just left. Sorry for the confusion, if you join then I'll join back.
Every move that's gotten reduced startup over the patches should get a a frame or three of extra recovery.
>>493573825MFC will be plus 7 weeks from now
>>493573825Why would that be bad exactly? Having a harder character be top tier is better than whatever Slayer is doing.
>>493574206I audibly sighed when they made Jack-O’s 2D faster
>>493574504but Slayer is harder than Johnny though???
>>493574637jack-o needs knockdowns.
>>493574637Yeah same. It made the mirror complete ass to play.
>>493576243jack-o needs a Slayer’s 2H to the face
>>493576918https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1725746254439583.webm
>>493576918jack-o needs to aba j.D onto my face
They should put Madara in Strive
They should put Aizen in Strive
>>493539180Once I get to 50% that's honestly good enough for me.
>>493579090I like when jack-o does 2d a lot
Elphelt should've had Jack-O's gameplayJack-O should've had Ram's gameplayRam should've had Elphelt's gameplay
>>493582960Why?
>>493582960why?
Every character in strive should’ve had their previous gameplay
>>493586391How would ram, bedman, jack-o, etc. setting up shit work with wallbreaks which would remove all of the work they did?
Next OP, don't forget the /fgg/ tourney: >>493213027Also you should probably remove that EMEA twitter account which is there for no reason.
>>493586391Nah. Cutting back on the special moves while retaining character identity is for the best. Otherwise everyone becomes too versatile and ruins character identity. Daisuke and ArcSys agree btw.
>>493586614just let them force a real knockdown at the wall 1 time regardless of wall health, even if they wallstick instantly on the next hit the reward for the mix is wallbreak damage and positive bonus which is plenty>>493587009>retaining character identitylmao
>>493587009They’re not the same characters at all, look at Johnny or Sol or Jacko or Chipp or anyone. Their character identity was very distinct before.>>493586614Pretty easy, don’t do wall breaks.
>>493587009>Otherwise everyone becomes too versatile and ruins character identity.The opposite happened where cutting down on special moves required the special moves to do more things which resulted in characters playing more similar- AND players playing those characters more similar which is lame. They certainly didn't retain character identity. You can see for yourself that while characters in past games had different tools, they still had clear strengths and weaknesses- that's character identity btw.>>493587390That would go against Strive's philosophy
Make a new thread
>>493588243It’s a bad philosophy, changing characters so much.
nu>>493588728
>>493588540Strive was made to kill xrd. Xrd tried to build from +R and yeah there was some character and system progression but mostly it was one step forward one step back. Strive trimmed down the fat by starting from the ground up and is the more popular and interesting game for it.>>493588769Good girl
>>493588903> tried to build from +R *#R
>>493566750dude i found that guy earlier, he has the dodge pin on his card and hes been trying to do his celestial promos for fucking days
