So what can people say about Blazblue's nme game are we back?
The current world is on the brink of destruction, to avert this this group dives into the "Sea of possibility" however only you have been able to traverse it and survive with your form intact thus far, with the exception of losing your memories after the first dive. This ringing any bells from my fellow BB lorefags here? It should, after all, it sure sounds a whole hell of a lot like the boundary and the effects it has on people be it BB's homeworld, Xblaze's world, Es specifically can access to that, Naoto and Hinata as well but that's a bit wordy for what I'm getting at here, Naoto as far as I know has only traversed the boundary through Raquel's power rather than on his own and given what he is, it's only natural he'd get through it unscathed, meanwhile Rachel doing the same to Ragna required Noel to mke sure he came back without harm, so W for Raquel I suppose in terms of sorcery on that scale.
I'm not going to forget to bump this time...

>>557385361This game makes absolutely no sense to me. People just fly around mashing buttons.

Arc should bring back Blazblue for AWT.
>>557438550unironically trueIt feels Blazblue has been getting a little more popular as time goes on, which is good because many of the vets for it have moved on from fighting games altogether and we need more new blood
>>557439269The new blood will just cry about carl.
>>557445198there exists like maybe 3 active carl players in NA who are good enough with the character to make new people cry
So Johnny and Pot are the bs characters in strive now? When a grappler is top tier, it's time to drop the game.
I've been watching Tokon and it doesn't look that tag heavy. Might actually play it.

>>557525425i wish ino was fun to play, instead i really like playing millia but she is not sexy at all
Strive is 50% off right now on steam. Is it worth getting? I'm a fighting game gigacasual who likes soul calibur (my favorite there is nightmare). I used to play some xrd but that was ages ago.
>>557536053Strive is gigacasual so I'd say its worth getting if you just plan on pressing buttons every now and then.
>>557532673What the actual fuck

>>557540236xrd D fish but instead of lasers it freezes. i keep forgetting to give it invul after the first hit. though in the last clip, it went away because dizzy got hit.
>>557540547Can't believe they ruined bridget to please the troons
I'm so bad but I just can't be bothered trying to get better knowing that the game is about to change so much and that so many fuckers are going to have their BS toned down to match my character that's already living in S5.
>>557540547>>557543782No one liked Dual Rulers. Not sure why this has to be re-stated.
>>557545594Just play xturd or any of the old games that wont be changed anymore.
>>557540547I like her still, and this image isn't even true. I play her and Ky. And own figurines of Bridget. I will admit I didn't like Dual Rulers tho.
One of you guys should make a fighting game with ai. It's clearly going to take over. We are so fucked.

I cant be angry at Johnny even if he is broken as fuck bs. Is that gay?
>>557540547this is exactly what trannies are irl though, "trans = whole personality" is exactly what they are
>>557575514Hey now, I'm a tranny and being trans isn't my whole personality. If you were to talk to me, most of what I'd talk about is obscure horror movies and 80s synthpop.
>>557575514it really parallels the goth/emo trend in the 2000s or the brony trend in the 2010s, doesn't it?
>>557579931I don't think so. I actually am a tranny who was in the goth/emo phase back in the day. But I was never a brony, but I only transitioned in 2013.

fucking hate strive so much, sometimes i have flashbacks of old school ggac matches of johnny doing those badass comboss and setups, and remember how he is now in after strive transition makes me so angry, daisuke literaly DESTROYED his own game
https://youtu.be/tOvFLmPXIV0Biggest inspiration in fighting games desu.
>>557633460I don't understand. How can Daisuke ruin his game when Strive is the best game in the world???
>>557633460Strive only has good things said about it because the community is that mentally ill

Is there the info somewhere if there are 14k players in vanquisher or 14k characters in vanquisher?Characters seem more likely considering half of vanquishers on puddle farm are 1k5.
bored
>>557633460Johnny is fun in strive though.
>>557682932So weird remembering that potemkin's heat extend was optional in older games but strive he always does it after heat knuckle. Was there any reason not to do the extension in the older games?
>>557690930for oki and keeping the opponent in throw range. you wouldn't really want to extend if you weren't near the corner. a lot of strive's design is resetting neutral as much as possible and preventing any situations where you can easily loop pressure. it's why a lot of combo starters in the older games are combo enders in strive and send you so far away and moves that used to hard knockdown only softdown, why the wall breaks etc. so it's easier to understand why og heat knuckles was omitted now with this context.
>>557694623>a lot of strive's design is resetting neutral as much as possible and preventing any situations where you can easily loop pressure.that sounds horrible, thank god they added positive bonus and super wallbreak hkd to make the game snowball off one hit bullshit except slower and more boring fuuuck
>>557696073>super wallbreak hkd to make the game snowball off one hit bullshit except slower and more boring fuuuckYou have more time to react and do something.
>>557696796yeah cool, in practice either you are put into an instant safejump -> meter gain -> RC mixup, or you get to play again except you have 1 hp and die from 1 jab, at that point why have the wall break animation, you're guessing anyway
>>557696796lol wut?
>>557697123It's either that or go for a full hard reset which would pretty much amplify the top tiers. Honestly can't think of a solution to still keep the good parts of generating momentum for the guy getting the wallbreak without just shifting around who can abuse the post break state better.
>>557701348they could have just made stages expand gradually or reduce the amount of oki characters get off their combo enders, but no, every character can still just spam close slash meaty, mid screen even
>>557701348>Honestly can't think of a solution to still keep the good parts of generating momentum for the guy getting the wallbreak without just shifting around who can abuse the post break state better.15 second tekken kuso combo extensions

>>557894047Lobby clossed>>557899350GGs. With Rachel you have to play around her projectiles because if Rachel has wind meter she can make her projectiles just fly at you. She is weakest when she has no wind. Instant blocking is important as well to create gaps in her pressure. With Litchi you also have to play around her staff and keep in mind that it can hit you on its way back.>>557908156GGs. I would've stayed longer but some stuff came up that I need to do.

So I've noticed Strive is on sale My main game is SF6, would I like Strive? Main thing that puts me off is the wall break
>>557921231I don't really see why anyone would like Strive. What are you looking for in a fighting game? What don't you like?
>>557922728>What are you looking for in a fighting game?Neutral, whiff punishing>What don't you like?Long ass combos, knowledge checks, comeback mechanics
>arcsys announced an adventure game with genAI slopWe're SNK tier now
>>557921231yeah. it's really fun. you can get ahead of the 2.0 launch and bully the returnees >wallbreakits a pretty minor thing
>>557929129your player and evo counts and sales and graphical quality are not THAT low
>>557923354Strive would be perfect for you. Buy it.
>>557921231AFAIK Strive is faster paced than SF6; it's also more character driven. Wallbreak won't be that big of a deal for you, plus you also get some choice on what happens with it.>>557923354>Neutral, whiff punishingHighly variable based on specific matchups due to being more character focused but yeah we've got that.>Long ass combosOther than Millia wall-to-wall, combos are pretty short; hard to know exactly what you consider long but for example I think the combos in 2XKO are way, way too long.>knowledge checksThere's been a lot of standardization, more common tools, and gatling (normals that cancel into other normals) routes from previous versions of the game which makes it easier to pick up most characters or understand a lot of moment to moment interactions, but it's still a character focused fighting game with like 32 characters that you'd have to know what they do.>comeback mechanicsOther than getting some meter and burst for getting hit I don't think there's much in the way of comeback mechanics. The game's considered pretty snowbally, you don't keep meter between rounds, you can be chipped out, blocking for a long time builds a status that makes you take more damage.
the fuck were they thinking with strive faust?
DRRRT
>>557918092Does this connect to the lore in any way?
Who's most fun in GGST out of these? Chaos, GL, Anji, Ram, or Nago?

Is Nago even top-tier anymore?
>>557970621he is in blazblue
Clayton believes in Marvel Tokon so i will too.
>>557961908It does, I'll spoiler it from here on Their world does not really exist, Lime, Fox, Ti, Cafe, the professor herself, they were all created by Kokonoe during the events of Chronophantasma's climax and Central Fiction's climax right up to Kokonoe being deleted by Es, She created this little world as her final hope in case Ragna and Noel were not successful in stopping the doomsday, the goal was simple, find a possibility within the sea of possibility, basically the boundary and use that to reboot the world that would be fated to perish, The player character is never seen on screen but they have the ability Noel and Saya has, they are unaffected by the boundary or sea of possibility as they know it in game, Kokonoe's final instruction was for them to gain the power of an observer and use it to observe their little world, the player succeeds in this and observes their friends as real people rather than data including the doctor she's now a real person too in the end, despite being living flesh and blood now and Ragna saving everybody they opt to continue monitoring possibilities just because it's all they know how to do.In short, this whole story is a side story to what's going on during Central Fiction's plot when Kokonoe wasn't on screen.
>>557983363To add to this once you realize Kokonoe made these characters it shows she really does like Tager, Litchi, Roy and Kajun and wishes she could of worked along side them crunching numbers, it also shows despite how she acts she does like Jubei because the doctor is modeled to look like him, her tails even furl like Kokonoe's do as do her ears, the avatar character tho is a real mystery considering Kokonoe is behind this and the powers they ere made to have and how everybody comes to confide and rely on them odds are that this character is either based off Lambda 11, Noel Vermillion or Celica A Mercury, through I'm only thinking that because of their power, another possibility is she based the avatar character off RagnaSadly, for those curious about the blazblue cast due to the memories the only ones who appear on screen are Izanami CelicaNuRagnaJinHakumen, no lines for himArakuneLitchiTagerRoyKajunReliusBangEsKokonoeTsubakiMakotoHazamaKajunOther characters speak but are not seenMai NatsumeYuuki Terumi All lines are recycled from the games themselves none of the returning VAs for the new characters speak new lines as the old characters
The last hint is that most if not all of the shards of possibility we see throughout the game involve Kokonoe, Tager, Litchi, Roy,Kajun or someone who works for Kokonoe that was there to witness the eventHowever only a select few memories have no involvement from those characters two of which stuck outThe memory of Takgamagahara firing on Ibukido's lab where Noel is "born" which we now know happened because Mu 12 at the time before she became Noel had nothing but scathing hatred of Yuuki Terumi for what he did to her when she was still apart of Saya and at that time he was trying to force a merger with her like what he does once he regains the susanno unit in the climax of central fiction, however 12 resisted this and instead forced Takemikazuchi to fire directly on her to commit suicide through it failed and the rest is history.another is the scene where Noel, Tsubaki and Makoto become friends for the first time after Makoto's near death experience, none of Kokonoe's group knew about that nor did it have anything to do with them. so these two events must resonant with the player character in some way.or were read hearrings to make us believe these are legit just random memory data they came across and not at all painting a collective

https://x.com/chochoske/status/2024483941651304473
The input reader in Strive is generally very forgiving, but I don't understand why it isn't more configurable. If I'm using the dash macro I NEVER want 44 to be backdash, and I NEVER want 66 to be dash. The only possible reason those inputs will show up is a part of a fuzzy block / jump or a shimmy; much like the change they made to Sol with 623K not being cancelled into on hit it's just never going to be an intended input. On a more extreme but related note, why does the down input exist outside of special inputs? Humour me, is there ever a situation where you want just 2 instead of 1 or 3 outside of a special input? If I'm blocking and switching between a high and low block to respond to my opponent's pressure there's never a situation where those 3f of just down where I got hit were intentional.
>>557996453>You want to see the same marvel characters always or something?
Damon and Baby is a dumb title
I'm so hungry...
>Daemon and Babby ends up actually being a fun multiplayer coop titleIm scared bwos
>>558010808I'd play if it ends up being coop fun.
So is Nago's thing that he just self-destructs if the opponent successfully blocks his pressure?
>>558012602Nago's intended playstyle is to never let himself get into blood rage mode unless the play is enough to win the round. So instead of letting the blood meter reach 100%, you're supposed to back off and use his extended normals (which lower the blood meter on hit / block) to fight, until the blood meter is low enough to use special moves again. There's more nuance to it but yeah

Yes arc sys works
>>558060706the idea is good but it's really annoying how obviously and intentionally restrained it isyou can tell what the designers wanted to do and how they only got 70% of the way there because they don't feel like they are allowed to use certain design features, but still do all the other aspects of the design in the same way they would have if they were allowedI-No is a great example of this, her design is pretty good in a vacuum, the ass cape and bigger hat are cool additions that work well with her movements, but also it's really obvious that at some point in her design process they went "Hey wait a second someone reign this shit in, don't forget the new target audience" and now her win pose has no reason to exist

>>558164620He's better but still ass. The main things were:>Balls do more damage (30 -> 40)>S carcass raid is better (now +5 OB point blank)>5P and j.P now move balls further>Various moves now have better hurtboxes for ball hits onlyhttps://www.dustloop.com/w/GGST/Venom/Resources#tabber-4.07>
>>558164620not as many people playing lucy anymore, which is good for Venoms because that matchup is miserablein general he's fun until you get a matchup that doesn't let you do your shit
