I thank soivers for killing the "johnny is hard" meme, this even the most retarded slav can play this child molester, and in xrd netplay there are a lot of them

I need an economic overthrow

tokon feels like sloppy autocombo babby normiecore kusoge made to substitute fifa and cod for the average dudebro tiktoker. Also the movement is boring, when everyone can fly and do crazy shit out of the wazoo with the simple press of a button it doesn't feel special and cool.
It's fun when there are fast characters who trade speed for something else and slow af character as well, it's the difference in playstyle that makes it interesting. When everyone is special no one is

>>538294216
this, but soive except it doesn't have good movement

>>538294216
I agree but it was really awful to not have an air dash/float in MVC2/3. A lot of the have nots didn’t really have good enough movement tools and strengths to make up for it, characters like MVC3 Hulk are an outlier.

oh right my b I was thinking of METERLESS reversals, his DP ain't half bad in Xrd, generous hitbox, recovery is neither ch state nor airborne, not even crouching so it's not SUPER unsafe on block, 9f isn't the fastest reversal in the world but it'll do the job, also not air unblockable which is very strange

>>538307361
it wasn't ragebait, the post was genuine, before strive, guilty gear had a reputation for being a sweaty tryhard game
people's perception that it was really difficult kept most people away from it, but then strive came along and daisuke told everyone this game will be beginner friendly, so you got posts like that who were scared of the real guilty gear players
their worry was unwarranted though, they got to mash away on the lower floors while the guilty gear players quickly made it to celestial, giving the new players a safe environment to learn the game and catch up

maelis called on his eucf discord buddies because he's getting raped in strive ranked so decided to lash out in the thread

>>538306530
I actually see people say things like this with what seems to be sincerity. Like when I see someone asking what fighting game they should get into as a complete beginner I see them describe Strive as 'scary' or something, and people don't even recommend Strive on the basis that it's simple, always recommending SF6 instead. I do think SF6 is probably better for an absolute beginner, but I do feel like Strive has been out long enough that, at least for people on the outside from GG as a whole, they view it as relatively hardcore as modern fighting games go with sincerity, which is weird to think.

>>538311850
do they though? nothing else boosts scrubs like strive does
strive is the only fighting game i can think of that a brand new fg player can pick up and squeeze out a decent winrate in

>>538312171
I feel like I see it on occasion. I think they misunderstand what the game is like, but I see them say it anyway.

>>538311850
Strive is intimidating because you don't get to play neutral until you're an intermediate player. Low level gameplay is basically nothing but RPS spam.

>>538312331
probably residual reputation from old guilty gear

>>538311850
one game has modern mode and the other doesnt its pretty simple

>>538311850
The most vocal opinion about Strive out in the wild I see is that it's a retarded baby game for (s)mashers
I don't think I've ever seen someone describe it as scary or hard

>>538311850
Not to say Strive isn't a baby game but I think it can really suck for a new player because of how random the matches can feel and how snowbally the game is. A side effect of the game being designed for anyone to be able to win is that this means new players of the same skill level can just luck (unluck?) into getting corner carried into wallbreak into getting hit while the opponent is in positive bonus then dying.
SF6 doesn't have as much built in easy to access oppressiveness for brand new players to get raped by through no fault of their own.
I don't think Strive will ever get a reputation as a hard game, but it has gotten a reputation as a very unfair poorly designed game.

>>538313989
>SF6 doesn't have as much built in easy to access oppressiveness for brand new players to get raped by through no fault of their own.
Lol
Lmao even

So, I decided to try Strive out and I quickly landed in this Vanquisher rank. Is that high? I basically just had to learn some basic-ass mix and I won every game and... ha ha, come off it babe I'm trying to ask a question over here... ha ha, I know you love BlazblueGAWD cock babe, but you're going to have to wait haha.... anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, so I'm like, yellow in Central Fiction, so I was kinda surprised that I seem godlike at this game without even trying? Y'all... you ain't even good at your own game, huh? I guess CF is just so much more in depth and technical that going from it to Strive is like going from driving a Formula 1 car to a station wagon, haha... alright, I got some babes I picked up at my last local that need some attention guys... yeah, they came in with some Strivers, but it didn't take long before they found their way over to the Blazblue set up... y'all know how it is, ha ha. Take it easy Strivers.

>>538312374
>low level gameplay is nothing but RPS spam
This is better than what SF6 often devolves into at mid to intermediate level, infinite reaction checks with a bit of RPS mixed in. You get to do a little bit of movement in Strive in any given match, if someone's just hopping at you over and over again in SF6 you better anti air them every single time or you plausibly just threw the round off of endless 50/50s

The reason a character like Venom can never be fun to play against or to watch in Soive is that the game is too simplified for zoners to ever be cool.
They simply don't have enough zoning tools, so their optimal gameplay is reduced to making you slowly dashblock up to them while they loop the same couple options, then if you get close enough they'll throw their one abnormally good button or do a safe setup, all in hopes of creating distance so they can do it all over again (unless you're Johnny, who is also lame, but he's different in that his aim isn't specifically to play keep-away, it just coincidentally happens that he can fuck you up from 2 time zones away).

>>538326251
Not true, they are using strategies. The strategies just don't make sense.
The match that inspired that post was against a May who kept doing super jump and then attacking on the way down. Then he would jump cancel and do another attack on the way down. He missed hit confirms multiple times because he was just tunnel visioning on his weird pogo strategy.

>>538351268

Also consider Slayer or Leo maybe but Sin is definitely where like 70% of the ideas for Nago came from

>>538356172
actually a good change, in neutral you can just call assist before whiffing a move and get rewarded, while it makes pressure less cancerous (can't react to someone jumping out by calling anti-air assist)

>>538367472
Nago is just a tanky version of Sin without the bulk
If you want to be a tanky character and shit out damage then the other choice is Kum

xrd sin is such a weird character, maybe it's because of the characters I played before him but I find his gattlings to be really weird, limited and clunky

>>538375561
Its to compensate for special to special cancels. I really like how he can do 3K>6H, its my favorite DP bait

>>538375561
His gatlings look mostly normal to me but I've never played him so maybe I'm missing something.
I feel the same way about Baiken though, the holes in her gatling chains throw me off when I play her, not being able to 2P or 2K>2D, f.S>2D, 6P>f.S etc, and 2S and 2H being slow and not comboing normally etc, makes me drop confirms or stand there like a moron on block when I autopilot a normal string. She definitely doesn't need more though. Also her 6K is throw immune on startup but not during the active frames so if you actually meaty with it they can throw you on wakeup, that's just fucking weird.

>>538376254
3k or 3p? but yeah his awkward gattlings are there to offset special>special stuff he has. I miss when gattlings were a balancing factor

TRUUUU

so faust's afro completely negates 6p upper body invuln?
jarvis, line up every faust player and shoot them in the head

I want instant rematching like SF6 in 2.00

i don't think about points, if anything i want to lose them so i get more opponents i can crush

Had a 2 hour nightmare tilt session last night where I ended at +10 DR. Never play this game while angry.

I had a rare chance to actually play a couple different Asukas with my pocket Unika yesterday, I remember people were saying Unika's laser special fucks up Asuka but I don't see it. It's too slow and gets stuffed too easily. It does mean he can't can't just shit out a cube fullscreen to hold the neutral and do stuff safely from behind it, but it's more the threat of laser locking an option than laser ever actually doing much.
Her 2SS (low laser) is pretty good on the matchup since it goes like half screen, but it's not too dominant since you also won't have a chance to use it against his pressure and even in neutral it's telegraphed and not hard for him to avoid or stuff.

I still think it's a Unika-favored matchup, but I don't feel like any of the stuff people talked about here works. Well, 6P dipper does work, but only as well as any low profile does against him.

how am I supposed to counter his zoning again?

to a degree, some characters have moves that beat rising j.d (gold 2S, aba 2S) that have hitboxes higher than the afro. some characters also slink their head to the ground during 6P like ram and bed that can avoid it

>Throw a cube to hold down the neutral
You mean the cube that you can just delete with 236H or with any normal?
fullscreen cubes are really fake unless he throws a bunch in quick succession to trap you (even then they're still relatively fake since you can just normal cancel out of attacking one), and even if he does they will also lose to a single really active, long range or advancing move.

idk, forward jump, try not pressing a button on approach after an air dash, and if you block a 6P he'll probably go for carcass which you then then forward jump over and CH him or go for a disjointed poke / far reaching low during said carcass startup if you have the privilege or having one / that starts up quick enough

thank you gamer

tokon's music fucking sucks

>>538405207
did you stop reading right there and not get to what was right after
throwing one set of random cubes isn't meant to win neutral, it just lets him freely and safely do certain moves from behind it (if you don't have a way of punishing him from far)

Max said Tokon is mid

The vocals in Iron Man's theme genuinely sound like AI. I don't think they are, but they sound like it.

max also stole tech from a bedridden gamer and never mentioned it came from him
