it's so over...
I'd say we are in a much better state than atleast 3 other fighting game generals

how much of your character's moveset do you use? I noticed I don't use 5P or 2P much

>>539688031>Online GGST Tournamentshttps://twitter.com/nafgctoWhy is this random twitter account in the OP?
>>539705336Isn't that Nago the guy who farmed floor 10 players so hard that the elosite had to change how it rewarded elo?
>>539707883You shouldn't have bothered to make this, there's no need to throw shit back at the monkeys. It's really just a vocal minority of very mentally ill Strivers that game war and you don't have to keep it going. You can instead just talk about Xrd normally or talk about Strive's flaws normally, you'll get retarded responses that don't understand how discussions work but that's just part of /vg/.
>>539708423not reading that essay
Just lost multiple 2-0s to the scummiest Nago player on the planetI am losing my fucking mind, I can't get over how fucking retarded this character is, why does he have not only 1 but 2 invul supers, why is his backdash so good why is fukyo beyblade a thing, if he's ever in disadvantage he can do his retarded super and get incredible damage + oki + heals blood or he can just gold burst and now he gets full meter to fukyo beyblade anti air all he wants This character pisses me off so much it's unbearable, so many times in that match I was in complete advantage and he'd just wild assault throught the cubes and hit me and now he got a combo, meter and oki because of course he can do that because this character has so much health he pretty much generates burst by existingOne time I blocked his blue burst, went to punish and got reversal'd in my face because I was my off by one frame I suppose
this but with slayer and chaos
>usually have a fun time regardless of who I play>lock the fuck in against any Bridgets I match withBridgets always play like the biggest bitches in the world I refuse to let them win.
I-No looks extremely fucking boring in the hands of everyone but Daru, I don't know why only he makes her look fun to play but he does.
Finally beat in-o (the rancid cunt) in +R on maniac with sol.Gonna go for order sol now.Wish me luck.
>>539707883Me off screen playing +R
>>539707883if you had even a shred of creativity, you would've put "we don't play that crap here". idk if you're a tourist or just that retarded
>>539709687GGs that was me
>>539709687isn't it funny how this is his worst version ever too
>>539715137zased
>>539694568Nobody cares about Strive enough to grind it
The whole point of a good Elo system is that you can't just grind away points to make number bigger
how do you beat +R sol his 6P bandit bringer gunflame 2D 5K is too
Is Strive basically rock paper scissors with extra steps?
hey fellas just wanted to let you all know that the /vg/ league divegrass friendlies will be next week and as always we can pick 3 teams to play against do (you) have any suggestions for what team you'd like to play against?if your're not sure you can see all the participating vgl teams at https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//vg/_League additionally i want to let you all now i'll be retiring as caretaker after friendlies, i do not believe i can accurately represent the general anymore because i do not acitvely browse the thread or regularly play the game to an extend where i feel comfortable caretaking, it has been a good 3-4 years and if anyone wishes to pick up /ggg/ and avoid its removal from the league please contact me, manager verifications are open and if youre interested in managing or caretaking then i'll be to show you the ropesthank you all once again for all the good years, its been an honor to lead the team for so long and i hope (you) enjoyed the matches over the years
>>539691425>>539693416activity doesn't mean quality, we're much better off than the copium-addicted shills at /sfg/ or the genuine schizos in /fgg/ and /tekgen/

is it true that nihon vtubers are picking up strive recently? will my oshi play strive?
>>539762248i don't know but for some reason my tw*tter feed has been flooded with jap strive players recently
>>539736217Buddy, you play strive.
>>539764581well yeah, this is the guilty gear general
>>539762981chat, is it gay if your gear wife pegs you?
>>539765742Nah you don't get it. If you are postin', you ain't playin. As is with the reverse.
No new player will stick with Strive. New players will start playing and will encounter Pot, ABA, Slayer, Nago, etc who will just kill them in one hit or shit like Ram, Jacko, Zato, Chaos with endless suffocating pressure and will just quit instantly.Lots of players tried Lucy only to find out she sucks. While she's actually kinda balanced character but in the world of Strive gorillas it's equivalent of being shit. So those players quit as well.
werent they supposed to fix matchmaking

>>539713242Good luck. All I need for 100% is to do classic survival mode and it is pure hell.
EDDIE NO DON'T EAT THAT
If you have 3rd world internet youre not allowed to play characters like Millia or Chipp. You can only play Goldlewis from now onThe number of matches I've lost because my opponent is playing from the fucking Phillipines with 200 ping and 5 frames of rollback is fucking infuriating. It fries my brain to snap react to something only for Millia to teleport into one of her other 56 options half a second later. Sacrifice a goat, hold a tourist for ransom, whatever the fuck you have to do, just get a STABLE FAST CONNECTION YOU FUCKING POORS
>>539770140tbf even 100+ is already too much for online even with rollback
>>539707867idk I just took it from the previous thread
>>539767912I guess it comes with the territory of having so many characters but Strive really feels like it has the worst balance out of the big 3 GG games. There's more problem characters that are broken on a more fundamental level on top of poor game mechanics that leave the game feeling more unfair than where Xrd and +R are at right now.
this dood really replied to his own bait
>>539709687500+ hour nago player here, git gudNago is the most heavily handicapped character in the game, and he just got nerfed (for some reason). He has no double jump, no airdash, no forward dash, a command dash that costs resource, hes the only character who just fucking dies if he ever spends his full gauge, he has one super that's incredibly situational, and another thats even more situational available only after he (somehow) survives popping blood rage and leaves him with literally 1hp.In exchange for all that he has pretty big normals, the big body grab range, and the ability to punish mistakes pretty hard. So just don't make mistakes You dont even have to worry about high+low mix any more because that was just too much for the average striver's sensitive palette
>>539770421I’ve fought Japanese chipps on +R and I feel like 180ms is the highest it can be fine with. Really depends on the quality of someone’s internet.
>>539772583it helps when they don't drop frames tooprobably easier to achieve in +r than strive (not that strive is demanding but still)
I think the best new Strive character is the Loading Screen eagle or eagles.
i love guard crush and c.S spam Strive is so cool i want to be like Strive when I grow up
c.S f.S c.S f.S c.S dash thrownow this is Striving!
*6P's your f.S*yep it's Striving time
>try IAD j.k or j.s>hit it>get thrownThis keeps happening to me and idk what to do, I'm supposed to be in advantage here dammit, when Chipp or Sol do it they get to start their pressure but when I do it i just get fucked?
COUNTERRRRRRR*camera zooms in**screen blurs**time stops*still my heart is Striving!
Pressure starter?c.SAnti-air?c.SWakeup button?c.SYeah. I Strive
>>539771201Hard disagree. I think the difference mostly comes down to the fact that Strive top tiers are far easier to pilot, and thus your average player is far more likely to be at the receiving end of kusoge retardation.
>>539776360>Anti-air?>c.SThis is the most annoying shit ever.
>>539776758>Strive top tiers are far easier to pilotIs it because their rewards are way more tangible or "scale better", or because characters below a certain threshold are ass versus them so newer players can dom the MU against their peers, and bank on character bloat when fighting people who are better than them but may be playinga guy with less tools or reward when cashing out damage?
>>539776758I think less tools on everyone means the strength of each tool is more important. Movement being gutted and damage being ridiculous and wallbreaks causing snowballing also contribute to less player interaction and skill mattering less.
>>539777587No, I meant they are mostly way easier to execute, as in you don't need nearly as much physical dexterity and timing to be able to do the things that make them overbearing and abusive.
>>539778348>less player interaction and skill mattering less.Not exactly sure about that.
>>539779168explain yourself
Just played +rA.M.A.

>>539787941if there's no god, how do we exist?
>>539789641Random chance. Also, that's an argument from incredulity, because you think we need a god for the world to exist.
>>539790157what do you mean by random chance? can you go into the details?
>>539790279Random cosmic events lead to creation of a planet that has just the right conditions for life to emerge and then billions of years of evolution happen and here we are.
>>539790825what is "space"? why does it have "matter" and "energy" in it? did this stuff always exist? how does it exist in the first place? what is existence even?
You niggas will really talk about anything but soive

>>539791705All Strivers are ex-Jiverites who escaped the generational Capcom infidel purges.
>>539792139>many great scientists throughout history believed in a creatornot the guy you're arguing with but that's a retarded metric to use as a justification for a higher beingthere's tons of beliefs throughout history that propagated despite not being true, like the idea of humors.
>>539792351it's not a justification, it's a wakeup call that all because you believe in Science™ that doesn't mean you have to be an atheist being an atheist is no more a rational position than being a theist, simply saying "i don't know" is a more intellectual take than claiming that there is no god
>>539792139>the sheer complexity of any lifeform combined with the mind bendingly low odds of life itself formingLow odds don't mean that something is impossible especially when there are billions of years you can work with.>intelligent designDoesn't seem particularly intelligent even when you look at humans alone. Our spine wasn't made for walking upright. Plus, we have a lot of documented cases of 'complex' structures (such as eye) forming in different species.>many great scientists throughout history believed in a creatorSo what? Being good in one field doesn't mean you know everything and some people just really like the idea of everything having some greater meaning. >>539792549>being an atheist is no more a rational position than being a theistThere are more good arguments for god not existing than for god existing.

I feel like I've been playing at a level that can barely even be described as functional the past two days.
Christcuck: God exis-Atheistchad: Problem of evil.Narrator: COUNTERChristcuck: AAIIIIIEEEEEEEENarrator: Atheistchad wins!
>>539793974this, but insted of two days it's my whole life
>>539792753the "low odds" are factoring in those billions of years, as well as our understanding of the vastness of the universe. the odds are so astronomically low that they are truly next to impossible 1012 is one trillion (1,000,000,000,000).1080 is often cited as a rough estimate for the number of fundamental particles in the observable universe (protons, neutrons, electrons, etc)10100 is a googol1010000 is a googolplex. this number is so vast that writing it out as digits is physically impossible in our universe (it would require more space than the universe contains)10-40000 is the calculated chance of a single celled organism forming on Earth every time you add a 1 to this number it's not just adding to it, it's exponential with each increase, your mind cannot even begin to fathom a number that large (or a fraction that small in this case)if you want to place your bet on those odds then lol i wouldn't trust you with my money at a casino
>>539794229did your ^ key break or something
>>539794229oops 4chan doesn't support superscript
>>539794229>10-40000 is the calculated chance of a single celled organism forming on EarthWrong. That number wasn't for life forming on Earth but for odds of a cell forming all at once through random combinations of amino acids. It assumes that there's only one right answer and that it's achieved through total randomness. It was a long proccess, not a single event that required perfect conditions which means the chances were much higher. Even if we were to assume that the chances for life to form were impossibly low... it still happened. Next to impossible doesn't mean impossible.
>>539794987>it still happenedobviously, the question is was it actually random chance? again if you want to believe that it's on you, but don't pretend you are being logical if you do
>>539795254>ignores the fact that his numbers were wrong and tries to move onlolStop repeating creationist talking points. Besides I've already said that the randomness created the conditions and then evolution happened (which means the process of forming life wasn't fully random).still no argument for god btw
>>539795254>something low probability happened>therefore a higher being must have orchestrated it to happen!that's not a logical deduction, that's schizophrenia
Guys this is the guilty gear general
>>539796412then talk about the game faggot
>>539796210>>539795668prove the big bang happened. also explain what the conditions were that allowed this theoretical big bang to happen, specifically how did the "energy in the early universe" come into existence? you can't just have a theory that begins with "we don't know" or it can't be a sound theory. it carries the same weight as an ancient man looking at the horizon and saying the earth is flat because he doesn't know what's beyond the horizon. you're just looking as far as you can see and deciding "yeah, that's what happened". more data keeps coming in that questions the big bang theory and our understanding of the universe entirely. science is an ever evolving process, it's not truth written in stone.moral of the story: stop acting like you have all the answers, but if you must, don't think you can look down on someone who settles on a different answer than you, because you're both doing the same thing: believing in something you can't prove.
they literally copied GG story 1:1
>>539797335There's a lot of data supporting the big bang.On the contrary, we don't have a single proof of 'god'.some evidence > no evidence>more data keeps coming in that questions the big bang theorySuch as?>science is an ever evolving processYeah, the more we know, the less we need your god of the gaps.
>>539798336on the contrary, the more we know, the more we realize we don't know
>>539798436Except nothing we ever learn points towards a god. It just means there's more to learn.

>>539821601who do you play
>>539821650Asuka
>>539767912bullshitevery single character in the old games feels like bullshit you just dont remember what its like to be a new player
>>539822658Yeah, so no matter who a new player picks, they will get to do some bullshit to their opponent. And stronger defensive mechanics + not literally having a mechanic that gives free damage and a damage buff and a defense buff and a tension gain buff and a burst gain buff SOMEHOW makes the game a lot less snowball-y. Especially against players of similar skill who still have to get used to your character's wakeup timing even when they get you knocked down.
>play old gg>they put me in the corner and mix me until i die >the offense looks so confusing i learn nothing
Okay so how does slowdown from FRC work in strive, exactly?
>>539823132>Yeah, so no matter who a new player picks, they will get to do some bullshit to their opponentHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>539823409The old games are actually more beginner friendly due to the intuitive gatling system and everyone is broken = nobody is broken philosophy THOUGH
>>539824040This seems contrary to a lot of easily made observations
>>539823132You complaining about the details of positive bonus further proves my point that you dont remember what it feels like to be new in old GG let alone any fighting game.Like nigga who gives a fuck about all those details relating to positive bonus, to a new player it just looks like they got combo'd and get a chance to breathe before going back to mashing.In old GG if they get combo'd in the corner they are immediatley waking up to oki which they WILL get hit by, followed by another combo into knockdown.The situation might be similar in reality but it doesnt SEEM that way to a new player and getting raped in the old games feels worse cause the combos take foreverAll this invalidates the "Le hecking gatlings make them easier" argument because those gatlings arent even standardized (Not intuitive at all)
gatlings are intuitive niggas when they see axl
>>539824040how's a not global gatling system more intuitive than a global one
>>539824462>getting raped in the old games feels worse cause the combos take foreverno they don't lol
>>539824801nta, but being able to do P>K>S>H as a combo/ blockstring is pretty simple. You're just pressing all the buttons in order.the Strive system makes swapping characters easier after you've learned it, but for day 1 beginners i don't think it's very intuitive.
Can someone disable Deflect Shield in my game so I don't fall temptation to using this useless mechanic
>>539826029the os is good tho
>>539824801Not him, but I get what you mean but I think they more so mean the general magic series of P>K>S>H rather than the specific gatlings.At least when I started going from weakest to strongest attacks was easier in the other games I played as a beginner rather than the specific gatling tree Strive has.It's too late to change them now but the old system could have been tweaked to actually be (mostly) universal/standardized while having some exceptions here and there like Strive (such as chipp and millia being able to gatling 5k into itself or 2k, hc not having a tradition HS, goldlewis not having traditional P button cancels, and nago, lucy, and unika having extra followups).I know strive marketed itself as being more helpful for beginners and I guess simplifying the pressure by limiting gatlings makes it simpler to defend/take back your turn but 2xko also markets itself for beginners and keeps the generic weak to strong into special that other anime and tag games have.
is disc after haircar fake
>>539829971maybe
Whats with the trend of western games having hype loud announcers yelling lines and eastern games having a bored monotone guy politely softly reading every line.

Lobby
>>539836437If you want something done right...
>>539837873Lobby
Why can every other character turn any stray 2k into a wall break but Sol has to sit an exact distance from the wall and only gets to do 1 specific combo to have a chance of getting a wall stick
>>539840165nigga sol can wallstick whenever he wants with hvv
I don't think I hate any characters in all of fiction more than Sin and Unika
>>539841253>the only character in the game that has to stop their combo early to use the dedicated wallstick button>when he's already in the corner no less
>>539841296You hate them because they are hot and fresh while you are cold and moldy. The time for Geezer Gear is over now『Old Man』
>RCing after burst startup>not letting you cancel burst when someone RCs before burst startupI need at least one of these things fucking GONE
>>539842189Sin is an older character than like 3 quarters of Strive's cast
>>539824462Not knowing about the exact details doesn't change that they're still there. A new player doesn't have to know what Tension Balance is for them to see that their opponent's meter stays full the whole time as they're getting raped by big damage.Why are you assuming that the new player in Strive will get a time to breath and can comfortably mash on wakeup, but the new player in +R or Xrd will be met with a perfect oki setup? When it's much easier to continue getting raped in Strive because there's no defensive options that allow you to punish your opponent on your wakeup like throwing them if they're too close.The combos in real GG don't take forever, this shows that you are either retarded or being disingenuous. Do you know what actually takes forever? The longer cutscenes you have to watch at the end of any combo that ends with a super into wallbreak AKA all of them in noob matches. Oh but to you those are just giving them a chance to breathe.None of what you said had to do with gatlings but yeah, P>K>S>H are way more fun for literally everyone.
oh for sure dude
>>539841695if you think insta wallstick is bad you might be the bigger shitter ever
Why does it feel like charged dust is just an instant marker of a nonoptimal shitter combo
>>539805778ayyo this dizzy kinda drippy
Is a bar of meter for 162 damage off a corner throw good?
>>539847554depends on who you're playingbut probably not
I have so little idea what Chipp does that I genuinely do more damage to him just randomly mashing 5p than I do actually trying to play the game against him
>>539844279In age you dumbass coot. See you managed to prove my point, you've gone senile yet tried to be witty yet you forgot basic Strive. I'll let you know, we can HEAR every snap crackle and pop of your Rice Crispies fingers and joints whenever you type.
Why does Ragna have heterochromia, how do you make the edgiest design possible and add a finishing touch cherry on top of edginess to it

dumb soiver
>>539853503>taokaka>coollol ok man. Extremely fuckable yes but not cool in the slightest.
Susanoo, Makoto, Kokonoe, Hakumen, Litchi and Carl are the only good BB designs
>539854026This is why I dont interact with gooners
I am the biggest Striver imaginable and I will admit that Susano'o is one of the sickest designs in fighting games
>>539853503How does her face work? That shit pisses me off.
I dont understand mirrorsI either just steamroll the other guy with basic knowledge checks or just get completely outneutraled at every single millisecond with no inbetween
>>539854943i've always had the opinion if someone is bad at the mirror they're a complete frauddepending on the character some mirrors are really fucking stupid because it becomes a complete RPS fest. i don't play either character but watching the baiken or leo mirror looks like a horrible experience
Mirror of the World is literally one of the loudest, most frantic battle themes in the game and no one will ever hear it without a mod because Daisuke decided his cool 50 second long samurai intro was just too important to keep as a soundtrack only version of the song
>>539854943Because sometimes one of your worst MU can be yourself. It's only "balanced" since you can put the hurt on them too, but that means it turns into a Looney Tunes sequence dynamic where two guys take turns being the Bugs Bunny or the Daffy Duck
>Fight garbage slayer who folds so easily he gives up>play him later>he's been winning the entire nightfeels weird
>>539855514From my experience the Asuka mirror is literally just who can get to TC3 and shoot out cubes faster
Why do characters that already have a DP need an invul super, just have one or the other
>>539857969>Play vs Sol or Ky or any male character>they act like they don't even have a dp>Play vs Unika or Lucy>mash dp and super every possible moment really makes you think
mashing 2P should trigger negative boner
>Venom can just do ambiguous crossup safejump oki on loop off almost any knockdownokay someone explain to me why this character isn't high tier
>>539859025>does no damage>has wet noodle hp>combo can break off a slightly incorrect oki tool positioningand all of that is disregarded if he just plays like a zonerdo you wanna guess who cant do that and is actually a bottom tier
>>539859562>does no damageLike low damage relative to Strive norms or like outlier "so low it's like I have a passive defense buff on me" levels of ass damage output?
block my burst? hold this plug
>was in top20 for my character in s2>can't break 40k rp in s4
how do you even play against Ky when all your pokes can be low profiled
>>539866654What do you mean? Are you just eating stun dippers? Just block it or play in the air if your character does that well
>>539859025It's a joke from old gg
>>539824040>everyone is broken = nobody is brokenreddit philosophy, when everyone is broken then everyone is broken
>>539870365Yeah but everyone isn't actually broken, it's just easier to say than everyone has very strong tools along with things they can do better than other characters which means that everyone has what they need for whatever strong options are used against them. Arguably the most clear and best way to balance a game due to homogenization being the worst way to balance a game. Not saying +R or Xrd are perfectly balanced and not saying that there aren't some fucked up matchups, but everything works out to where the cast are relatively equal and there aren't any characters that are just better versions of other characters like in homogenized games.
What would you do if Leo was right outside your door
become gio
>>539868598>my pokes get low profiled>"just block bro"ah okay, I'll just never throw a button in neutral ever, thanks
>>539871693hold block and punish his dp
>>539870798everyone having strong tools in a fighting game is not beginner friendly dough, because of things like the execution barrier and neutral and even just being all on their own instead of having a teamthis creates a rich-get-richer type situation where people who are more experienced in the game are able to leverage those strong tools betteri would agree with a statement that strong tools make for a more interesting competitive environment but saying it's healthy for beginners feels to me very obviously untrue.
>>539859905his mix leads to 100 damage without meterdecide if it's low or high for yourself
what the fuck
>>539884058placements? or a giant rating gap
>>539884112Nope, we both had ~40k RP.
>>539881804>people who are more experienced in the game are able to leverage those strong tools betterdear god! we cant have that! better take some inspiration from mahjong!

I like how easily you can bait Axl/Chaos/Chipp players because even a mosquito bite is enough for them to burst
I beat most Potemkin players because despite being as braindead as he is is still not retardproof enough to not be able to easily outplay the average Potemkinfraud.
>>539688031
How do you even play neutral against Johnny if he can just full screen mist finer you constantly?
>>539913712Give her a gun.
The fact that Gio has bigger boobs than Baiken and no one even notices is crazy
>>539932610It's minus on block AND his dash was nerfed, show some respect.
sol's neutral is too good in +R
>>539936264It's okay because he's actually a very high-skill character at even a low level, so be sure to not lump him in with the other babymode characters, he's VERY difficult.
>>539937527gunflame is too safe in neutral, I can't IAD to punish them most of the time and nothing else can deter them from doing it since if you try to poke him out of it, you'll eat a fat CH
>>539938125He's working ten times harder than you. Get over it.
>>539938192I really doubt that

Daisuke here's a freebie character idea.Catgirl character who has a wincon where if she stacks enough "ailuranthropy" stacks in you she turn you into a her catgirl/catboy thrall. Theme is a Swamp Rock based.

Strive is the first fighting game I've gotten any good at, I'm about 40 hours rn and I feel like an idiot because when I play the older games I feel filtered. Should I kill myself for only being good at the low skill floor troon game?
>>539835138Yelling causes a fuss in the east
>>539978723no, you should kill yourself because you're unemployed
>>539978723>gotten any good atYou're 1700+DR? Because if you don't you're shit.
the only reason i got good at old GG was because i was already in such mental and spiritual anguish that losing over and over couldn't make me feel any worse, so i was able to take the amount of L's necessary to get good that would make an ordinary person give up and move on to something easier
I never played old gg because I couldn't play online
>>539968795Anime catgirls aren't furry. At least the ones with juat an ear and tail(s)
>>539980346it's a slippery slope
>>539980475Are you saying catgirls are a slip n' slide into some summer fun? Anon, it's the end of September.
>>539980641I'm not saying that at all, you furry freak
>>539979723I actually think that the average person has the ability to be determined enough to not give up when having fun but being challenged and that your poor mental state didn't give you any benefit over healthier people.
>>539983405then why are fighting games so niche?
>>539985556Just because they have the ability to do so doesn't mean that they will. Most people don't actually like being challenged, they just want to take the easiest path to feeling good. But (you) can still be better than that, break free and do hard things and you will feel rewarded on a whole nother level.
You've inspired me. I'm going to start rock climbing.
>>539967134My anime fighter character idea is a character that manipulates time and does little damage. Their primary way of winning is through time outs. They have specials that apply slow down debuffs to the opponent and speed up buffs to themselves. And a super that speeds up the game timer by 1.5x, and one that adds 10 seconds to the game timer.
>>539989137Peak because of it's retardation
>>539983359My name is Phu-REEK the Fury. Not Furry. Please get my name right.
Will Unika and Sin be the protags for the GeeGee sequel?
>>539990114jackel badguy, sol and jko's kid, will be the protag, and sin will be the ky rival. unika is in the bin
I can't wait for Bridget Gaiden!
This general resembles /tekgen/ more everyday, and I mean that in the most derogatory way possible.
I'm so fucking tired of fucking up reversals and getting punished for 70% by Slayer frauds. Why can't reversal window be massive? Why game actively prevents me from using defensive options?
>>539989137Feels like everyone else doing way more damage than her would result in most timeouts being in the opponent's favor. Timeouts are always better as an alternative win condition that either player can go for if it seems right rather than being something that one character has over the other or their goal from 99 seconds onward.

I hope that going forwards Arcsys finally understands that Lucy is weak competitively because she has so little tools and is made for retards, they should stop making baby-brained characters for single-celled organisms and actually try to make the next characters have interesting specials and mechanics The problem with Lucy is that the quickhack thing is kind of "shoved into" one of the most boring shotos in existence who has 4 specials that are all things other characters doProjectile, DP, combo ender, advancing move with followups, you get the idea
I hate mix characters
>>540001481Why is Justice so short

>>540007103They just can't create normal fun characters. They either create some insanely complex characters or just dumb gorillas who can safely spam op pressure with little risk and loop mixups indefinitely.
There isn't a single dlc character that has made the game more fun to play by their inclusion. 5 years and the game still hasn't topped the mid original 12 characters.
>>540020239Asuka was fine.GL was good after they nerfed drone but before they gave him WWA and turbobuffed it.
>>540020642you're really not making a case if cubeslop is your example of making the game more fun
>interested in playing asuka>spend an hour labbing>play a match and remember this game sucksrip
>>540020781I despise Goldlewis because he can just keep wild assaulting throught my cubes and from there there are 2 possible outcomesEither I block it and now I'm in RPS because this move is -3 or whatever, and if I do win the RPS I get a combo which builds him more burst so he can wild assault more because this character has the healthbar of 3 elephants, or I get counterhit from WA and now he gets do his 300+ damage combos with huge fuck off buttons that cancel into eachother that end in wallbreak which gives him meter+oki+even more burst so that he can keep wild assaulting
>>540026763It's fun when you play Asuka.
bros our evo winner is playing a better game...
>>540028226it's really not. managing an entire other game while my opponent drools and turns the floor to ice makes me just want to do something else. cool character though.
>>540028273It is, and turning the floor to ice doesn't even negatively affect Asuka that much so I don't see why pick that out as the braindead thing you have to deal with with him. It can be frustrating to play him at times because it feels like you're putting in a lot of effort when you could just be playing Slayer, but knowing you could be putting in less effort for more reward is just what happens when you choose to play a difficult character over a gorilla in any game.
>>540028495i have 2 hours of playtime so i have no idea what you're talking about.
>>540028568You could have zero hours of playtime and know what I'm talking about, it's not something unique to Asuka or even Strive. It's just the nature of choosing to play a difficult character in a fighting game, you're going to have to fight the simple but still strong characters in the game all the same and you will lose to them ungaing out. It's maybe exacerbated in Strive because of it being an easy game with a lot of braindead characters, but it's not unique to Strive and it's not unique to Asuka even within Strive, it's just part of having characters of differing difficulty levels at a conceptual level.
>>540028826i'm clearly salty anon, im aware of all of this lolty tho
It's weird how I should think that Baiken is cool and super sexy with her massive titties but I hate fighting her in Strive so much that it makes me hate character itself as well.
>>540035979be glad you don't have to fight her in the games she's actually broken in
where do you go to learn combos in this game? the dustloop has a good chunk but it's missing/outdated stuff even for a character like ky which I would assume would have one of the most complete sectionsjust watch good ky players I guess and wait to see him counterhit a 2d or 6h midscreen and see what happens?
What's going through that guy's mind right now
