Who is the most brainless command dash neutral skipping character in the game?
https://x.com/smerinthinae/status/2042227802318278992Gobou is saying that Zato, Asuka, are very strong.He's saying Venom is different but not weak.Unika seems to be fun.I THOUGHT ASUKA WAS NERFED?
So many newfags here and the thread before.
>>563066004Jam
https://x.com/i/status/2042258235445653968This patch increased the skill gap between pros and your average poster in this thread. Good patch.

Hi
https://x.com/i/status/2042220674995966208Nago bros eating good...
>>563065063Sol
I kinda hate that they removed Gios 4 frame anti air jab, it gave her a lot of creative freedom to punish spammy air dashes
>>563066401What does Jam getting paizuried have to do with this
>>563066401HOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY
She used to be cute, no she looks like someone's sad aunt who didn't marry and my cock likes that
>>563067385anon she fucks the rabbit
forgot how clunky and sluggish the characters feel in this game, i'm playing jam ffs why do i feel like i'm playing SF6
>>563067458have you tried using the dash button
Anji is legit one of the lowest damage characters in the game now holy fuck, he also has no oki out of anythingHis actual nootral and pressure are still good though, so don't think he's straight up bottom tier
>>563067709i mean the combos
Gio won!
>female vtuber>male voice
>>563068068many such cases
>>563068068The first million dollar Capcom Cup winner retired and now streams as a female vtuber.
Please tell me Faust got something good out of this patch besides weakened characters.
>>563068408throw the trumpet and jump to catch it
>>563062569>>563062690these characters all suck balls, i'm playing potemkin even though i've never played a 2d game in my life
I could be smelling this game but I'm at the beach for the next 4 days.
why is ABA on Norwood 3?
>>563068408He gets stupid reward out of CH fS
>>563068629The greasy hair just makes her look bald.

brap baiken
>>563068408anon... i...
>Slayer>Chipp>Anji>KyWho do you suspect will be the strongest of these 4?
>>563068991Chipp easily
Well fuck let's try this again East Coast LobbyID: 880876newcomers and returning fighters encouraged, let's enjoy patch day. 2.0ers ONLY and NO GIRLS ALLOWED
>>563068991knowers understand that it's Chipp, but most public opinions will converge onto Slayer
>>563068991Chipp by far
>>563068991Chipp >>>>> Ky >> Slayer = Anji
This patch seemingly put this game back to launch version in terms of meta minus Sol. Zato, Chipp, Nago, Leo all on top again.
>>563068778so uhhh, where can i find guides?
>>563069259that's what I'd like to know but the answer is likely just youtube
where do SEAfags play? the dedicated SEA server or people just eventually coagulate to the JPN/KR one
gimme me some gio tight combos
If you do a Jam/Bridget match you unlock a hidden song, "Jam It Inside Me"
This is my literal problem with Baiken. I will do this same combo structure for the next 2,000 hours. That's it.
>>563068408Love links into 5k midscreen and cS in the corner. Makes afro explode. 6H doesn't whiff on wallsplat. Mix can be canceled earlier so you can super before they unsplat from the wall and situational item juggle corner carry. Trumpet can be caught with just a forward jump. Donut gives like 15% tension I think. The low profile changes seem to be a mistranslation
>>563065854what is your experience in fighting games? do you know how to chain buttons?
Kybros. How did we fare in this patch? I need to know how hard to downplay.
>>563070708He got better, so tell them he's low tier if anyone asks
>>563068408He gets smoked by a lot of characters due to hurtbox and low profile changes. Like if non retarded Johnny puts you in a corner its over lol.
>>563070820We looking at like a solid C tier or do I need to swear he's D tier and should get Greed Sever back because of his non-existent mix up game?
>>563070658>92.9 hours in Strive>440.4 hours in Granblue +Rising (Holy shit I don't remember having that many hours in GBVS)>60 hours in Blazblue>75 hours in Type Lumina>Many more in MBAACC>135 hours in Under NightBrainlet Potential Man who does far more watching than playing and cannot form nor a coherent gameplan because my play entirely boils down to abandoning all strategy and acting or reacting to what worked or did not work based on initial random choices
>>563071302>Holy shit I don't remember having that many hours in GBVSTime flies when you're having fun
So none of the stages lag on any console anymore, right
>>563069064GGs guys wish I had more time before I had to work today.wish daisuke didnt fuck my 4 ball oki setup now I gotta find a new one.Cant believe that one counter blitz didnt break the wall zato it was like right there.Can't believe that dark angel clipped you after your teleport does asuka have an expanded hit box after tele or something idk overall ball is still life this patch glad i dont have to stinger quite so often anymore
>>563069064>NO GIRLS ALLOWEDWhy?
>>563068991Chipp is fucking swole now
So uh W or L patch?
Did Anji really go from like top 5 to mid tier or possibly worse?
This seems really underwhelming for a "2.00" version update
>>563073321>Did Anji really go from like top 5I legit never understood how people kept saying this when he was still ass and only a singular person ever was getting results with him, and only seldomlyHe wasn't even top 10 last patch
>>563065605Asuka doesn't feel as bad as I feared he would, but I still think I prefer how he was before. Before you would see some high level players with him not play like Gobou, going for Full Order and fishing for the optimal deck all the time, but I feel like you kind of have to play him that way now because of how nerfed every aspect of his mana is except for auto-regen, which is now buffed. I'm also having a hard time getting used to the new staves, but I'm sure that's just a matter of getting used to it. It's weird how pressing 22K/P felt fairly natural when it was for the charge but now my hands just turn to putty when I go to do it.
>>563073287Overall WL for Slayer because they killed pbunker loops, thus leaving him utterly sauceless in this game
>>563069509her combos are almost unchanged but now you get the old sepultura safejumps from 2K and 5/2P
>>563073491>He wasn't even top 10 last patchRedIAmNot and LK both had him top 5
Strive used to be so fucking big.Mushoku Tensei s1 was directly sponsored by Arc and there was Guilty Gear merch in the episodes.The main girl from My Dress up darling had an episode cosplaying Ramlethal.Onimai had characters playing the game during the show.We had the entire anime playerbase as well of street fighter and tag team refugees. The game was the most popular fighting game since sf4 in and outside the fgc, random content creators were making millions of views of just posting animations, this was fucking Hollywood.Now look at this dogshit game. Irrelevant, the laughing stock of the fgc, ran by a cabal of trannies who can get you ban from entering tournament for misgendering Bridget, every character gutted down, every single legacy mechanics removed, new fun mechanics removed, random characters nerfed to be unplayable. Why can't they plug this shit and release Tokon already, I'm tired of seeing this game get raped even further, how can you faggots enjoy this is beyond me.
it's just fake fun
nobody asked
>>563074073Look how SF6 and Tekken 8 ended up then come read that post again.
it just got 20k peak players and the all time peak was 30k
>73It literally hit its highest playercount since launch today
>>563074073Almost like the game's 5 years old or something. Games dont get infinite marketing budgets until the end of time
>>563074073Tokon is gonna flop, even Arcsys knows it, that's why they're doing 2.0
Oh sorry that our game's patch is much better than your favorite fighting games because arcsys actually LISTENED and DELIVERED.
>>563070468What is this piss baby damage?
>>563065605nigga why is the deflect shield OS still in OP throw tech OS is new boogeyman
>>563074673uh? ds os still works
Did our queen get any buffs?
I never learned how to deal with asuka 2d and at this point I don't care to learn.
>>563070708Far slash is now missing link slow for REASONS.
>>563074957https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-wahs7G2Xg
>>563069064Ggs to all who showed
>>563074415They're doing 2.0 because they have 3 projects in development and have no staff to start dev of next GG. People who think we are getting new GG soon are delusional. They have Tokon,another non FG project with other studio and fighting game project Katano moved to 2 years ago.

I guess i'll stick to Baiken i'm mentally broken by FGs anyway.
is this not swag as fuck
https://x.com/i/status/2042251914876964998Here's your grand viper
How epic does this make me?
>>563076368It's Axel combo swag is the only thing he lives for
>>563076368They truly toned down damage.
>>563076396The scaling fucking hurts but holy shit that's cool af.
>Ending any combo as Anji anywhere means it's back to neutral nowWew
Watch Happy Chaos actually still be good somehow
>>563076727I've got thrown out of going for a c.S meaty so many times today
>>563076891You can get a 2k meaty (lol) on combos that end with rin in the corner if you go for nagiha instead
>>563076727anji is finally an honest character now
Senpaihttps://x.com/veryveryhard_LS/status/2042215950066516228
>>563075274If you think he's going to 2d airdash at him and you will explode him, he cant do anything from 2D as long as it doesnt hit your block/character and the total commitment is like a full second and some changeThis is what I think at least as an asuka-er
https://www.twitch.tv/kizziekay310Kizzingtons, report in.
>>563076790He is decent just that with no more guard crush, no 5p or tap dust into wall break, considerably butchered zoning and the only steady aim combos he has now requiring you to be precise and not fuck up with the directional fire, he isn't completely brainless.https://x.com/MUROI_GGST/status/2042183209807687907
>>563077651>mcdonalds ad when I opened it upcant make this upalso wasnt he dooming on the patch notes how is his mental state now
c.S anti-airs getting gimped is by far the best universal change
>>563077651HEY HEY HEY BIG NIGGA KIZZIE UP IN HERE
Ramfags have been suspiciously quiet
>>563078036They all switched to Nago or Leo
Strike throw..home...
>>563078205The custom ui borders are already out? Thought they were tied to the battle pass coming out in may
Haven't played Strive in a years. Is the in-game ranking system actually good now or do people still use that one 3rd party ELO site?
>>563078326Yeah man...I legally bought the BP........and the DLC chars.............
>>563078423The ELO site only displays the ingame ranks now so you're stuck with it either way. It's alright, not really any different to any other fg ranked system.
>>563078423its actually good now, tower is dead
>>563073321>Top 5>Literally hasn't won anything in the entire history of the gameStop outsourcing your opinions to random internet talking heads
rip s4 248H combo filler slop
>>563078929"Ramlethal is an honest mid tier, she hasn't won shit" ahh post

sajam's thoughts?
Oh come on
>>563076409More epic than me.
>>563078205Real Ky Kiske gameplay right there. When they told me Ky had a daughter from the future, I wasn't aware it was Lucy Kushinada or should I say KYshinada.
Why does Bridget sparkle now when rolling from the yoyo throw? What does that mean?
>>563075274There's nothing you can do, it wins every interaction.
>Zato pierce mashable on hit thank you overworked arcsys intern
>>563079017Nigga did you literally forgot the 2 patches in 2 different years where she was broken as fuck and everyone was abusing her for tourney wins? frauds like RedDitto made a career out of abusing the character when it was broken.
>>563079661Yeah now how many majors did she win
Suicide hotline has been receiving an influx of calls over the Testament nerfs
>>563079264>choosing to use a quick option to punish the mixSilly fool. Mix is something you eat and GGST will make sure of that.
Sajam said that Strive has no purpose in a market that 2XKO exists in.
>>563079517Pls respondI looked at her command list and I don't see anything about it. I'm confused.
>>563079073What in the unholy fuck is that monstrosity?
i guess i need to order that HitBox cable for Baiken
>>563079769ARC World Tour 2024 Finals, bruh
>>563079862Does anyone actually care about Testament? Easily the most nothing character since his release.
>>563079862Idom...
>>563079862Bro nobody cares about Testament's diagonal fireball slop. Just pick up Axl
>>563080075Trannies do.
Those disgusting faggots keep shipping him with based Johnny. Total Testament fanbase death.
Maybe a dumb question but what's the benefit of any of Jam's installs?
Jam reminds me a lot of Vegito from DBFZ.
>>563080130Unfortunate. I pray for their speedy recovery.
>>563079401Lucy is a combination between Ky's big normals neutral and Giovannas speed
>>563080484safe on block, more damage, faster startup, more hitstun
No one answered my question about what Bridget's sparkle thing does :/
>>563069061>>563069126>>563069129>>563069250>>563073210Long time fighting game player here thats still bad. How hard would it be to play Chipp at a respectable level? How hard is it to use his rope properly? Also anything else that would be hard to understand?
>>563079947>2XKO exists
ABA is still braindead what are these retarded niggers whinging about?
is potemkin fun
any recs on who should i try next?
>>563080075I care about Testament. Really good design and interesting, unique gameplay. Unfortunately he never made an appearance after +R. Would be cool if they added him but I'm not holding my breath.
>>563081080Sol, Ram and Leo seeing as you clearly like gorillas.
>>563078205This won't work in vanquisher. Nobody is taking a throw there.
jacko deserves rape
FIRST RANKED OPPONENT WAS SLAYER AND HE LITERALLY IMMEDIATELY LOSEQUITS!!!
hi my name is jack o.
>>563081506truthnuke
Why did they think Leo needed backturn safejumps?
>>563081291do they all mash there or is it too reactable?
>>563080648Sure, but are they worth chasing over better pressure and oki and if so are all of them worth it or just some?
>>563081732King of Illyria needs more frame advantage.
>it's a 3f rollback nigger that mashes throw on wakeupDo they know this only works because you can't get the meaty timing right since the rollback is high? Fucking retards
>>563081732
Congrats to Nitro on his free wins of every tournament from now on
>>563081841They just fuzzy jump all the time.
when is tempestgod coming back?
>>563083004when Johnny finishes his turn with May
What's all in the battlepass?
>>563083004His name is Godpest
*clears throat**ahem*Soive
>>563083004i cant believe he got cancelled for being drunk
>>563080075i think scythe users are cool and i liked his moveset in XX, but he's a completely different character in strive, from design to playstyle, and they also just ignore his story up to this point, his redemption and return to some kind of humanity after ML was engaging, but like most other story bit from before strive it's not really carried further and they condensed his humanity down to a long list of things in the likes section of his bio.
Wasn't Tempest the best player in the world for over a year straight and counting until he got cancelled?
>>563082613That's not how rollback works.
>>563083358Yes. I remember watching that combo breaker top 8 where he won every match solely off flashkick rc. His death was for the greater good.
>>563083358Canceled over what?
>>563080109>"pro" player who lives at some no name weeklyHe'll be fine.
>>563082942*delays button to catch jump startup*Hehe… nothin’ personnel kid…
>>563083496tried to get some tight bussy
>>563083246>More battle ui skins>More wanted posters>Acessories and alt costumes possibly legacy costumes too>Short stories which you can actually get it for free once the pass ended or watch it in youtube
>>563083563Earned cancelation.
>>563083534Idom is a Capcom Cup champion.
>>563083565There's no way they gonna have battlepasses without in game stores right?
TRYING HARD IS HARDSO I TRY HARDTO TRY HARD
Lucys damage is so fucking low jesus
>>563081584ggs that was me
>>563081506I wish someone would rape me (consensually) while wearing my Bridget hoodie :(
>>563083496he noticed a fat ass
I noticed I'm able to do reflects a lot easier now. I still don't know the input for Counter Blitz though.
https://x.com/i/status/2042195651929284706Don't look
>>563083436Yes that's how it works, when rollback is high delay gets added so you don'tt eleport around the screen
No more CP
>>563084826Yeah but the 3f rollback doesn't mean there's 3f of delay, it means there's 3f of rollback.
We need that giga nigga in the back as the next char.
everyone says that gio is a braindead gorilla but I can't play her for shit I just get hit out of every approach i try to make and i can't pressure for shitguess i'll just go be a hyper gorilla with leo again
>slayer has to use big body exclusive pilebunker on everyone now >may can now use big body exclusive dolphinloops on everyone now nigga
>>563081264what are Ram and Sol plans in neutral?i can see the vision with Ram fuckoff swords, but Sol seems very close range pressure focused, what are you supposed to do, besides going yolo with bandit bringer/revolver RC?
>>563084937no more what?
>>563085704You probably Gunflame a lot more on him now that it goes so far.
Switch version status?
>>563085587she's so basic that she becomes hard just like ky
And here we go
>>563086320nah bruh jam with the diddy interaction ?? baka daisuke wtf man
Damm i really need that dammned HitBox cable before playing Baiken breaks my wrist on Arcade Stick.
The command grab nerf was so retarded
Now that the HUD is metal, will Obama finally kiss the ring?
>>563085647they removed fucking weight forever ago, did you think size dependence was safe?
>>563086804after the roster stop dressing like Ken-sam sure
>>563086804obama is too busy shucklin and jivin for namco
jams enhanced dragon kick deals so much dmg jesus
>>563086871not pictured: the rabbit's fat cock that jam worships several times a day
jam isn't in the game, nobody knows who that is
>>563087238dont worry she is nerfed by the time robo-ky comeshave gun ow
>>563087238Imagine if their intention hadn't been to lower damage across the board! You'd have been killed in one hit.
It cant be overstated how dogshit the dlc colors in this game are
is testament still bad?
Why is the positive bonus so slow now for meter? It's irritating.
>>563088296tension penatly after supering/RCing now affects positive bonus
Everyones grinding ranked while Im just chilling in arcade mode
>>563088154True, shame since it's the best looking FG so far
Is Pot still good?
>>563088985hopefully not
>>563088985Yes
I have never personally seen or felt a character so utterly devastated by a patch as Baiken is. What is the point of this character anymore?The loss of okizeme after kabari is a total deathblow. A bullet to the back of the head. So I turned my attention to the one last hope, the rope.It doesn't hit reversal 6P. WELP IT'S OVER IT'S SO FUCKING OVER NEVER BEEN SO OVER.Thankfully Bedman's buffs are cool. Now that's how you do fun. Baiken? you don't need fun. All combos taken away enjoy your uhhh... 2H sweep with fuckass oki.
I lost Vanquisher so now I'm quitting on every match till I get it back. You can get mad at me all you want, but I know people here who would do the same. I twas stolen from me and I'm taking it back
>>563089174You never get demoted from vanquisher lyin ass nigga
>>563088985Yeah.
