wenissu

are you enjoying the final season?

Nigger I-no pussy
on my face

>>529454887
I will enjoy season 5 more because that's when my character will finally be strong.

>>529455919
there won't be another season

>>529456125
There will be one more season and Zappa will be in it.

>>529456865
based and faith without works pilled

>>529456986
Faith without works is dead, but Zappa is alive.

>>529456125

strive will not get zappa
street fighter 6 will not get makoto
lumina will not get len
blazblue will not get a new fighting game
tekken 8 will not get tifa
hunter x hunter nen impact will not get players
2xko will not get released

breadly sin

>>529459253
>strive will not get zappa
he's more likely than jam

In my opinion, you cannot really improve MU knowledge by playing short sets, especially in anime game like GG where each character is so wildly different.
That's why I've been playing much more park than tower in the last 2 years and really feel like I only really started to improve in the park rather than the tower.
Trying to improve MU in tower is basically:
>finally find that character you haven't played against in 2 months
>first set he rapes you because you're not used to react to their knowledge checks
>second set that retard starts to lag from his mexican wifi, you beat him nonetheless
>third set he RQs second round
That's basically my experience with most Chipp in EU tower.
I've only been increasing my ELO for the last year just because I'm so far above my ratingupdate it doesn't track the thousands of sets i've done in the park instead of tower where I have like 800 matches.

>>529354132
>>529354410
lol

>>529460935
“Show playtime” would look less silly if they posted their own playtime with it first

>>529460935
Umisho should start looksmaxxing.

Making fun of how others' look is something only losers and children do.

>>529460935
>even the drama is giga lame now
man what a raped community

>>529462083
Umisho is distinctly ugly in a way most people aren't. He's not going to read these comments anyway so it's not like I'm hurting his feelings by pointing this out.

>>529459253
Zappa is actually kinda likely. His gameplay is so ridiculously slanted towards old guilty gear philosophy that nobody would expect him to not be changed heavily, and they have his control over the ghosts as an excuse for changing it.

>>529463258
If he doesn't have at least three stances I'll be mad but otherwise I don't really care what they do with him.

>>529463535
Best case scenario is simpler versions of each summon. Worst is each summon being changed from stances to one or two specials each. Actual best case scenario would be him being almost completely the same because it’d be funny and make me play strive more, but that won’t happen most likely.

>>529459253
Why do Zappafags believe that he's actually this super iconic and beloved character that the fighting game masses are desperately asking for
They can't be this delusional, right...?

>>529464102
He’s a popular character that wasn’t playable in xrd so it makes sense for him to be in strive. I want him to come and help Faust get better.

>>529464420
>He’s a popular character

>>529464478
Not like Sol or Dizzy but about as much as Jam. Popular enough for his absence to be surprising.

>>529464619
>about as much as Jam

>>529464676
Among the actual players I meant

If he does come back, you know they'll add kliffs ghost as part of his kit, like venom and robo ky.

>>529463535
Youre going to get 1 ghost, thats it. Zappa was cured in Xrd and all you got from him was him farting into space with Daryl after eating a cursed custard.

>>529464812
>Among the actual players
You mean the 30 current +R players or the all time 500 +R players who were 90% japanese and stopped playing GG a decade ago?

>Watching TNS, Anji vs Sin
>Anji's fireball is so slow he gets grabbed out of it on a good knockdown
>He tries to bait Sin's DP on a long range block string with his dedicated disjoint, still gets DP'd

>>529466967
>Fuujin hits so low a dash lower than an IAD goes over it
That was a funny match

>>529466689
Do you think whenever someone closes a game they forget the game exists? Steamcharts shows current players and +R is always around 100 player peaks a decade after release. Did you get bm’d by a Zappa or something lmao?

my sf6 hours have finally overcome my strive hours...

it's... over...

>plateaued incredibly hard for weeks with almost no improvement
>actually started winning again yesterday
>my character hasn't even been buffed yet
we're all gonna make it

If Zappa were to get in i feel like to make him simpler would be against what the character is about. At least Zato gets to keep most of his Eddie moves because that's what makes Zato Zato
Taking away Summons and reducing It to just 1 or 2 would be against what Zappa's playstyle inherently is. Honestly we would be lucky If we got Raou and the orbs back
He's still my most wanted DLC char and i hope If he were to get added he's stay mostly the same, even thought deep down i know he'll be gutted

>>529468257
Do you think that among the very small community that is +R players among guilty gear players, in the even smaller sphere of people who mained Zappa in a cast with far cooler characters, in the even smaller niche of people who played zappa in +R before Xrd and kept playing GG until Strive, there are enough people to consider Zappa a "popular" character?
For info this 23 yo character is at 400 pixiv artworks and many of them are mistmatched, Ram sits at 5k and is only 11 yo.

>>529472441
>far cooler characters
he's a body horror ghost man with five stances and a jojo stand

>>529472441
Being male instantly makes him get 90% less art relative to his popularity compared to a female character.

>>529470734
I am going to nerf your main.

>>529472182
I am not going to add Zappa to the game.

Why isn't Chipp's overhead rekka also non RCable like Rin or something, this bullshit alone is keeping Chipp on top 5

>>529473493
It’s not invulnerable and he can’t hit you with it

>>529473715
He...
..Can't hit you with the overhead?
Wut

>>529473850
It’s not a mixup it’s too slow

>>529473493
Chippu isu beri beri fastto kyarakuta desu ne
Prease understando

>>529473493
Isn't it reactable? Just block it.

blocking a move that can be RCed does not put you in a winning position, the move must be beatable or else it is unfair

>>529473975
I've tap dusted you more times than you can count

>>529476514
It's -9

>>529477150
when RCed?

Are we getting a patch with the maintenance tonight?

>>529479136
I don't think so, just says "monthly scheduled maintenance". Any actual balance patch will probably come with Lucy.

Wow, they remembered the switch version exists. Does anyone even play that shit? No cross play sounds awful.

>>529479604
The tweet said it's in connection with an update.

>>529479826
Post it?

>>529479826
Wtf wow. Did the previous monthly scheduled maintenances say this too or no?

Update incoming:

>>529479980
I just checked and at least the last two months did say the same thing.
So it's a false alarm.

>>529480464
Damn, well hopefully a real patch is around the corner with Lucy.

>>529472883
What is Bridget?
>b-b-but
What.is.Bridget?

>>529480515
Bridget is an honorary foid.

>>529480515
Zappa is cool but not many people want to fuck him

>another day passes with no information about ranked

anji completely GAPPED zappa in terms of art even before he was announced for strive, and nobody cared about anji. That should show you how little people care about zappa.

>>529482512
like 70% of anji's art was just as a side character in baiken art

>>529482578
the remaining 30% still gaps zappa

>>529482076
Imagine ranked gets botched and ends up worse than the tower system.

>>529482512
>anji mito (106)
>zappa (43)
Right now btw

>>529484473
where? On danbooru it is 153 - 40. 68 of anjis were before his strive announcement. 24 of zappas are older than strive.

>tranbooru

>>529485408
Gelbooru, it’s 152 with mito anji. Looking at it Baiken gave him a boost but he also appeals more to women maybe. Zappa doesn’t have as much to draw artists to him as the others do and anji isnt too much ahead.

everything I don't like is trans

Just pean

>>529490237
this is true

If overwatch can get 17 seasons we can get 5

>>529460935
>>529462278
yeah I've been feeling the fatigue too, it's been going on for so long and nobody's having any comeuppance so it got kinda stale for me too

>trannu_y

>>529491472
Tiger pop and Bunny were at Tatakai Tuesday and littered right in front of Majin Obama, he yelled at them and they both went outside the venue crying like children so much so that the other staff begged Obama to go outside to apologise to them.

loving unika

>>529497418
Where's Leopaldon

i kinda wanna play unika because she's cute but i don't wanna be a tier whore

>>529506843
there's no way that character is top tier

>>529507176
i thought she had le stun dippah and le greed sevah

finna pick a top tier

>>529491472
>non-player complaining about getting banned

>>529507350
people realized stun dipper isnt thay good anymore

Striver

>>529506843
there's no way that character is cute

>>529514573
I didn't know Jack was an alphabet person

>>529514671
Each pimple on his face could be classified as a seperate entity to technically he is they/them.

>>529506843
there is no way that character is low/mid tier

If you're a competitive player there's zero reason to pick unika over sin

>>529517180
What about the waifu powerboost (it is real, look at Daru)

>>529514730
That's fucking gross.

>>529514573
Is this recent? Wondering if HC is still that good.

>>529527085
He's not undisputably top 1 anymore, he may not even be top 5 with how egregious some of the other characters have become but he's still top tier. You're still likely to get at least 2 HCs in any given top 8 at a major.

>>529527085
HC has some of the most polarizing MU in his favor in the entire game.
He's defacto one of the best tournament character in the game because he garantees you to autowin against a dozen of different characters who could upset you in bracket.
Having the ability to whiff punish any move at any distance and chipp away fullscreen from burst is just too powerful in Strive's metagame for HC to ever be bad.

>Mein Striver...
>Der balance patch...

>Twitter Strivers don't post about anything besides how bad the balance is and how they want a balance patch (and also drama)
When it gets to the point that everyone is begging for a patch on the monthly maintenance posts, do Twitter Strivers even like the game?

>>529532361
Question, anon, do you fuzzy jump on Unika or Gio more?

>>529532361
How i block Sin please

>>529514730
that's a bisexual flag tho

why is youtube like this
you listen to a few tracks when playing mahjong and they start recommending you this shit

>>529538947
Whose dick has Jack sucked?

>>529541947
Strive in a nutshell

>>529532361
Strive being so many people's first fighting game it's gonna be hilarious to see how they'll cope when the game ceases dev support and there are still things left in the game that they don't like.

>>529543606
They're just going to move to Strive 2

celestial challenge day

>>529543972
I'm not good enough to fight Celestial players...

>>529532361
have you considered that the people who actually like the game are playing it and therefore not a part of these discussion spaces?

>>529545484
cope

>>529543852
theyll go to tokon and guilty gear will be saved

>>529543972
time to plug

>>529545871
Tokon doesnt have any trans characters tho

>>529547171
tokon doesn't have any trans characters so far...

>>529532361
>do Twitter Strivers even like the game?
S4 was divisive and the drought is gonna surpass the time between 1.10 and 1.18 which had a lower power level too.

finna balm the beasts

i don't think many strive newcomers resonate with capeshit

>>529555857
Good. I don't want trannies in Tokon.

>>529555857
well they don't like anime either so

>>529555857
tranny hipsters are a loud minority

>>529555857
I think they will at least give it a try, assuming there is a beta. But if there is too much mix I think it will filter out a fuck ton of people. It won't be a MVC4 but having 8 people on screen throwing shit out will definitely be chaotic.

>>529543972
I'll try and fail over the weekend

>duff some dude in the park with my sub
>he switches to his main
>I decline and switch to my main
>he fucks off
pussy

>>529532361
Perhaps they like the game and therefore want it to be better? I don't play SF6, and thus don't give two shits about how its balanced. Are you stupid?

dbfz real niggas interacting with strive trannies in marvel tokon, oh my days

Only one more monthly celestial challenge (unless ranked gets delayed which it's honestly looking like it will)

I think everytime a new patch is up arcsys spins a wheel to decides who's gonna be the next top tier
Watch as they buff, like idk, I-no and se dominates the meta for the next 8 months

discord.gg/sfew8fNPng

>>529571436
Ram, Nago and HC sure are good at winning that wheel

>>529555857
Nagoriyuki was a top 4 most popular character for years and I've seen a variety of niggas playing Sol, him and whatever hot girl like Giovanna and Millia since release. They definitely can resonate with it.

>>529573014
what in the absolute fuck does nago have to do with capeshit

>>529566147
anon there are already dbfz players playing and interacting with strive
>>529573265
Nagoriyuki was a new character that attracted many people who haven't played gg before strive and was one of the most popular males in the game on release right after Sol, Ky and Potemkin. He said strive newcomers might not resonate with tokon but if new people resonated with nagoriyuki, giovanna, sol and the like then they will absolutely resonate with a capeshit fighting game that has arcsys designs and still has a wallbreak.

>>529573875
not the real niggas, read well next time.

>>529576593
Is Nitro not a real nigga? He seemed pretty alright.

>>529541947
Thats Strive. I clicked on Johnnys theme recently and also got multiple trooncel videos and channels recommended instantly lol. Had to scroll for 10 minutes and click "im not interested/dont recommend this channel" but thankfully it worked. I aint clicking anything Strive releated on youtube ever again.

>>529577065
young nitro code switches around trannies

>>529577334
Are you sure youtube doesn't just think you're a faggot? I'm listening to crawl on youtube right now and it's just endless engineering recommendations I'll never click on as per usual.

>>529578283
Are you really surprised someone who makes a post like that has enough polshit in their history to get reccomended those kinds of videos

yeeeeeeeeeeah baby right right right right right right right

right
right
lo right layo

>>529541947
>>529577334
Seems like a you problem bros I've watched strive shit since release and haven't been recommended anything like that just more gameplay and ost vids.

which is less bad strive or gbvsr?
trying to pick a game to main since it will be my first fg so i have no experience at all

>sf6

hoping for a sale, no way i am paying almost 300 BRL on this shit

>>529581456
This is a Strive general so I'mma say Strive

>>529581456
Gbvsr feels better to play because wallbreaks are ridiculously annoying

uuuh, strivebros?
they are making fun of us in /gbvsg/
>>529581109

>>529582049
I made this webm :D

i obtained the power of the elusive quadruple gapless fshiki

>>529582708
F shikis are pretty useless here with universal 20f overheads

>>529583007
why? It's a true 50/50 and with the right setup are safer and less expected ofc

>>529583447
The true 50/50 doesn't matter as much when the game has more freedom on how much you can stagger them than other fightans and getting caught in the air is way more dangerous than on the ground

>>529581456
>strive
horrific balancing and dysfunctional defensive mechanics
>gbvsr
boring meta and boring defensive mechanics
you choose

>>529584132
truly a bleak time when strive dont have baby controls but playing the game makes you want to commit suicide

while gbvs is so dumbed down and shallow it can barely be called a fighting game anymore and has baby controls but the characters dont want to make you commit suicide and no wall breaks

frankly as much i hate sf6 its the best fighter this gen, even as a anime fighter fan
i just hope the new projects arcsys announced fare better.

PLEASE DONT MAKE MODERN OBJECTIVELY SUPERIOR

>>529583813
so what do you do 5D>RRC>low/5D instead? For characters without any way to safely cancel into 5D or combo meterlessly from it you still need to either spend for brc to make it safe or rc to extend while with a fshiki setup you can cover one for free

>>529584492
sf6 will never be the best with that horrific character design, artstyle, music and gameplay

>>529584492
nigga why do you keep trying to squeeze in wallbreaks as if they have any impact on the meta

>>529584648
Neither are rewarding without rc and you likely want fast rc for better meter gain meaning who cares, just autopilot with a fast rc into a button even on block

>>529584492
Anon wallbreaks are not a negative. They are a complete non issue in strive and trying to say "has no wall breaks" as a positive for gbfvs is like complimenting a retarded cripple for breathing.

>>529584802
strive is literally cancerous to play
sf6 bad side is throw loops but yeah, visually wise its trash

>>529585163
>>529584808
ok lets ignore wallbreaks
i hate how much damage there is, and how it isnt gated by SHIT
legit be having 30 second matches, this is fucking annoying

if wallbreak had a faster animation people would complain waaaaay less

>>529585292
>legit be having
shiiiiiit nigga it do be like that

wallbreaks break the flow of the round and i hate it

>>529582049
Holy HYPE!!! Grapplers are such chads they work so hard for so little!!! Can we get our boy Pot another buff?!?!

>>529585292
Have you actually played SF6 or are you just some tribalistic retard? SF6 is also a very high damage game. If you reach round 3 and someone has a level 3 it's generally going to be a short round.

Wallbreaks makes you play neutral again so I like them.

>>529585163
Wallbreaks are bad. Games without wallbreaks are better. Even if they didn’t make snowballing worse than normal corners, the cutscene loop of wallsplat-cinematic super-wallbreak would still be annoying as hell.

>>529586068
zased

>>529585292
No strive's just the usual anime fighter bullshit with the tekken/gg1 tier damage. You don't like the damage, that's fine but it sure as shit aint a objective negative.
>>529586239
No not having wallbreaks does not completely make a game better. For example, bbtag, tekken 8 and dnf duel are all worse with tekken 8 probably needing more resets to complete neutral like strive than anything else.

.

>>529587463
she should teleport on my dick

>the head of New Head FGC admitted they didn't believe the accusations against RedIAmNot and only banned him because it was bad optics not to
this whole community is just fucked

>>529587050
A game that would be of similar quality to a no wallbreak version of Strive is better than Strive. Wallbreaks don’t reset you to neutral the way you’re saying they do. Having too much time spent in cutscenes instead of playing is a negative and someone else already replied to that webm saying the same thing. Wasn’t my point but the damage is also ridiculous and a negative, look at that webm.

need i-no dick inside of me

>>529587929
Wtf is this

>>529587915
wallbreaks are a spook
you're mad because of the damage

>>529588095
Not so much wallbreaks but what they add to, the annoying cutscenes. If they break the wall with a super they could at least skip the wallbreak cutscene. The damage is also part of this because it means you barely get to play the game compared to the time spent in more cutscenes and menus. Wallbreaks themselves are a problem because they’re worse than normal corners when it comes to snowballing.

>>529587915
Bro it's 4 fucking seconds relax

>>529588536
Add the combo into wallsplat and super cutscene and it’s longer than the gameplay portion. Look at that webm, more time spent in potbuster’s animation, god forbid he use hpb.

>>529587998

I-No's 6S from Xrd.

>>529587915
anon the wallbreaks are like 1 to 3 seconds with the longest being the overdrive wall breaks. Even those busters were only 2 seconds long each.

>>529588965
Did anyone actually pass it? I saw everyone in the community make fun of that guy.

>>529582708
if you play gio then thats lame

>>529589541
why? let me have some sauce

>>529589126
A bunch of actual top players signed a google dockey petition to ban Carl (not even the top 1 in BBCF) from majors.
Everyone made fun of them and they even got dragged by Jiyuna.

>>529589724
Who the fuck is Carl and who the fuck is Jiyuna

>>529589290
Each potbuster was 3 seconds, and that’s not a short amount of time with how quick the actual matches end. I timed it from a tournament just now and it was a total of 11 seconds between hitting someone with a jab in the corner and them being able to move again. A short combo into wallsplat, into super into wallbreak. If the damage was lower so you spent more time playing it wouldn’t be as bad.

>>529589975
Carl is like Zato if he was top 2.
Jiyuna is an old school /jp/ shitposter that's somehow now a pillar of the poverty anime fighter community.

>>529497418

>>529589724
banning stuff in a game seems like a smashfag thing
half of the new gen of anime players give off smash player vibes, very creepy and whiney

my cold take is the anime fgc was always smash lite

Fighting a good Testament would be fatal for most of the modern fgc

>>529591603
smash players don't ban characters either
meta knight was just allowed to ruin brawl (which would have still been a shitty game without him admittedly)

>>529592146
They banned Steve for the same reason as Happy Chaos or Carl. I think this idea of banning any top tier that isn't a rushdown or grappler you see in the new anime players came from Smash refugees. There's other bans than Steve in the smash games but I don't remember them. Nintendo started shutting down tournaments that banned him and they still would silently boot you from their discords if you played him.

>>529592494
I haven't followed Smash in years but whenever an Ultimate video comes across my youtube page it seems to contain Steve gameplay.

>>529592587
I know for a fact he was banned from any community ran tournament and they tried to resist Nintendo's push against bans. Nintendo might have succeeded in scaring anyone who wanted to ban him now. I don't follow it closely either.

>>529591934
smash(4 and ultimate specifically) has a lot of the game design and pacing you find in anime games. a lot the characters in both are very gimmicky, and winning matches come down to whose gimmick is more powerful instead of actual skill.

>>529592494
Steve was never banned. Just a few nobody locals.

>>529591603
Its just covid-era kids who first discovered fighting games. They may press buttans good which is possible due to tech and guides readily available now compared to 10+ years ago, but you cant erase scrub mentality, which is unfortunately most of these players have now

>>529593191
That's far from the impression I got and his ban seemed to be a widely agreed upon thing from whenever I talked about bans being bad with smash players.

>>529593216
>Jiyuna is too chuddy for the average anime player in current year
how the fallen have mighty...

>>529593308
nah. the debate of banning steve went around the internet for a while due to one good player having a win streak, but everyone eventually got over it, and nothing came of it. just more content slop like the recurring modern controls debate.

>>529593742
I've definitely seen it come up a few different times longer than a week but if him actually being banned wasn't a big thing I guess I was wrong. Still think the sentiment of banning top tiers comes at least partially from Smash players.

Finally bought Unika. Now I can't wait to chug the highest quality glue

They didn't. The thing about banning Steve was that it could make Steve mains not decide to compete and Steve is tied to a super popular IP. Back in the day people thought more tech would come out to counter/check him, which didn't really manifest

You do know Kakyoin and Petshop are banned from HFTF tournaments?

>>529596407
That's the difference. Almost unbeatable characters compared to particularly powerful top 1s like Carl and Happy Chaos are different. Steve is more like the latter, from what I can tell, so the idea of banning characters just for being stronger than the rest feels like it came from Smash.

>>529596626
>Happy Chaos are different
Happy Chaos at his peak pretty much made Strive look like a joke.

>Steve is more like the latter, from what I can tell
So do you know what Steve actually can do? Imagine if you had a character in Strive who can literally turn your + frame pressure normal into a minus one at any moment due to an exploit and you have no way to actually determine if he was intentionally doing it or just waggling his d-pad/stick.

>so the idea of banning characters just for being stronger than the rest feels like it came from Smash.
It's been a thing in gaming and many comp formats for decades.

>>529596915
>Happy Chaos at his peak pretty much made Strive look like a joke.
he has retardedly uninteractive gameplay that, i agree, looks retarded on screen but hc has always had other top tiers who sit on his level, like nago in s1/2 or the current crop of big bodies and johnny etc

>>529596915
HC was never on the level of real banned characters. I don’t know all of what Steve can do but from what I’ve watched he isn’t either. The threshold for widely accepted or requested bans in fighting games looks higher than what Steve can do, definitely higher than what HC could ever do.

>>529596407
I thought I heard somewhere that Pet Shop was unbanned.

>>529596915
>Happy Chaos at his peak pretty much made Strive look like a joke.
HC was never untouchable. Even when he was top 1 the other top tiers all gave him a run for his money in bracket.

if gg is an homage to metal who represents linkin park?

>>529597475
HC got thankfully nerfed. Steven never had that to make him more tolerable to play. I don't think you grasp how much he outright defies the rules of the game or literally can just go like:
>nah fuck you.
And outright refuse to interact with you. The guy can edge camp without ever touching the edge at all.

>>529598023
i don't know anything about smash at all but ultimately HC exists in a game with burst, and when all his shit was unburstable he existed in a game where nago forced HIM to guess at roundstart for game.

>>529597908
No one you'll get brazilian metal band and system of a down references and you'll like it.

>>529598023
I don't really follow Smash but I did see footage in a video a couple weeks ago where Steve put up a wall and started digging and Diddy Kong just had to sit on the other side of the wall like a cuck while Steve maxed out his stats. Steve would reset the wall every few seconds and Diddy couldn't approach.

>>529597908
>an homage to metal
>jpop about popcorn starts playing

>>529598629
Heh, I see what Daisuke did there.

>>529598629

>>529598845
Some characters should've been banned, like early HC, Raven early in Xrd, Lars and Bob in 6, BR and TTT2, Leroy and Fahk in 7, Kokonoe when she could do all that

>>529599437
No.

>>529599437
No dickhead banning does NOTHING good. Better to put that retardation front and center so devs(hopefully) have to notice.

Where the fuck are any of the normals in this combo? How do you even sparse what's happening between the dozen of net and tree setups into exe beast and badland juggles?
Also does poison just nullify gravity scaling, the fuck you can string eight 5Ps in a row?

>>529607928
Testament a genuine mistake character that even arcsys admitted to not putting him in xrd because they had no idea what to do with him.

>>529606027
amen

>>529607928
He knows the curse pattern

>>529607928
5K and cS are easily recognizable.
Most of it is special move into a trap.
air throw -> curse hit -> tree set -> badlands -> tree set -> trap hit -> teleport -> 5KcS - > trap set -> trap hit -> EXE beast set -> curse hit -> trap set -> exe beast hit -> trap hit -> super -> OTG into tree(the second one set towards the beginning) which strips OTG -> air combo -> trap tree exe beast curse FB skull -> tree strips OTG again(why does it fucking DO THIS) -> trap hits -> air combo -> CURSE HITS AND THIS IS UNTECHABLE???? -> trap set -> badlands into tree(I've lost track of when this was placed to be honest) -> OTG into curse hit allowing for trap set into more OTG(baiken is still in OTG state despite being multiple character heights off the ground)

>>529599718

i'm frustrated
every time i learn some piece of tech, three new more obscure implementations spawn out. Just organizing all my notes for this shit is a pain. Then i have to remember to do them in game, pick up the best for every situation on the fly. Also faggots keep stuff hidden from me in secret discords i'm not invited cause they don't like me. And this is only the MY CHARACTER part. All the matchups to lab, all the interactions. I can't fucking take it anymore. One thing i learn 100 comes in my way. I should enjoy the learning process but for me is just stress and anxiety. This is worse than fucking college unironically

>>529665639
I feel that and am largely stuck in the same bog; I learn / maybe even practice something and then struggle to remember to apply it in game. I go through cycles where I remember something in the middle of a set and start using it / trying to force it, then forget it or something else later etc. It feels like playing a game where you only get a handful of slots to assign techniques / options to, or like a hand of playing cards. The feelsbad is of course that those limits are defined by your own mental / brain. The solution is to build familiarity generally to get some spare mental cycles, and to train on specific (general) situations, not just your ideal but everything you want to remember.

if he's not good you'll be able to beat him pretty soon. just practice
quickmatch sends you to the tower. if you're floor 2 or something then you'll be getting sent to an empty floor that nobody ever goes to. just enter the tower manually and choose the lowest floor with players

The bnb combos are a little harder than the other cast but strive is not a super difficult game execution wise for most characters.

I would say he is worse, his main win con is balls but it takes longer to come out than jacko servants despite being worse. Damage buffs would absolutely help but I don't think they want him to be a high damage character, so I would rather have balls be better (I don't know how exactly) and only have some damage buffs. He is fun but yeah he is dogshit lol.

>>529728198
He's truly worse than Dizzy
He's harder, his defense is worse, and he's more inconsistent.
He does no fucking damage.
His matchups against the top tiers are slightly better than Dizzy's matchups but its like going from dogshit to cowshit.

the content drought is making everyone project their desires onto me, g3. i don't care about balance. i just want to make my dumb kusoge with ex moves.

Ky's jD not lingering at all is probably the most offensive out of all the changes that character had for strive. It was like, the ONE thing he had that wasn't super basic white bread character, yet it was still a straightforward move that fit. Now it is gone. More than losing his overhead, more than losing his crossup, more than taking away the CSE setplay. He can't even have his little star projectile.

Nta but what do you mean "disguised"? It's very blatantly both with the only surprise being that it's from a Japanese artist.

>>529799547

It’s proudly tagged as otonoko. Japan doesn’t believe in the Bridget retcon.

Please bring him back

>>529827518

I would actually be pretty happy with this if it added a way to get W$ and maybe level up characters faster. Those would probably be online-focused but it's still crazy to me how there's really no good offline way to do that.

>>529829583
idk why it isnt the same priority as frame data honestly

How do Leo's buttons just magically always win every single fucking interaction

>>529829859
I think there was a scrapped battlepass (could be wrong) so I don't see any dailies and the like being added.

>>529829583
Uni2 also has replay takeover doesn’t it?

>>529829858
Kliff isn’t that tall. Young Kliff could work like Order Sol did, and have time travel as an excuse. Now that I think about it they might not want to have a character with Kliff’s height in Strive.

I feel like kliff and justice won't come back, at most they will have a move given to another character.

This makes me so mad but also so hard...please kill me please

>>529831769
I don’t consider a game a discord fighter unless you actually need discord to play it. Even strive has discords but you don’t need them.

>>529834241
it looks kinda bad imo. we need some of those overwatch animators.

>>529834769
Yeah, that's why I hate it turning me on. It's badly animated.

nothing is out of character for elphelt because she's the iltimate pick me and would do literally anything if she thought it'd get her more male attention

>>529844667
i still imagine her doing more hugging finger/leg locking and being submissive than being dominant with a weird i-no impression.

the reason why this game is disliked is the huge amount of rps. Do you agree? How would you fix it?

>>529799547
>go to store after posting
>come back to all of that
Trans boys and girls turn me on so that's why I have it saved, and I love armpits. I didn't even notice the book because I was too busy staring at the armpits that I want to lick so bad before I posted it. Based artist.

Hey, I haven’t played Strive since its release, how’s the game nowadays? Did they fix the huge damage output, add more moves to the characters that were cut from Xrd, added more combo routes and freedom to the characters and fixed the ranking system? Also how’s Dizzy compared to Xrd?

>>529846573
no
no they added different moves instead (although some characters got their blitz animation used in the new moves)
the combat depth is deeper than s1/2 with owa and more routes but i assume if you liked xrd you'll probably still be disappointed
ranking system is coming this month
dizzy is bottom 2 but she has 2 fish

>>529846573
They lowered the damage
the added the missing moves
they added more gatlings
they removed wall breaks
ranked is coming next week
dizzy is top tier
there's more players than ever
10k full celestial lobbies

it's so kino bro you need to jump on this

>>529846573
>how’s the game nowadays?
it's better than it was on release but if you really hated what they released you will probably not like what it is now
>Did they fix the huge damage output,
it's not as high but it's still really fucking high, especially for certain characters (sol, nago, potemkin, slayer are probably the worst offenders)
>add more moves to the characters that were cut from Xrd,
no but they did add entirely new moves to most of the base roster and the rest are going to get one at some point
>added more combo routes and freedom to the characters
sort of
>and fixed the ranking system?
no but they will some time this summer
>Also how’s Dizzy compared to Xrd?
complete dog shit, worst character in the game by far, barely functional
t. dizzy main

>>529846573
The new moves are still not done and most of them are not that good.

>>529847827
>Amazon Web account required to play
Wtf is this for real? Fuck that shit, I didn’t buy SF6 because they pull the exact same shit, why is it so hard to find a good modern fighting game that also respects the fucking players, man?

>>529848143
nigga what

>>529848184
It says that on the Steam page.

>>529846573
>Huge damage.
Kind of? Idk man, still a high damage game.
>Add more moves.
Yes, characters got new moves (most of the base cast). Five have not.
>More combo routes
I guess? Sol has fafnir loops on the ground (grounded sidewinder) and wild assault allows from some more combos. Different routes compared to before and c.S and 5k are universally dash and jump cancellable along with more air gatlings/stuff iirc.
>Dizzy compared to Xrd
She sucks in this game. She got michael sword from Justice from the XX series, can turn the floor to ice, and has a move called wings of lights (gimmicky wincon). Also only has one airdash instead of two. Lost a lot of moves because Strive.
>Ranked
Not yet, but coming with Lucy from what I remember. There will be something at Anime Expo that will talk about it.

Over all, the current top tiers are aids but the gameplay itself is not too bad. If you wanted Rev3 or +R 2 then don't come back, otherwise it's fine ig, everyone is just waiting for a balance patch and ranked.

>>529848301
i don't have an amazon whatever and i've been playing for four years

>>529848301
I don't have one and I can play? Unless it automatically makes one or some shit. Never noticed that.

>>529848143
Where do you see that on the Steam page?

>>529848502
Is it appearing just for me? Maybe because of my region?

>>529848762
Huh. I guess it's there. But I don't have an amazon account or whatever and have been able to play just fine. Is it new or something?

>>529848762
I have never been asked to use an Amazon account. It logs me in with my Steam account with no problems.

>trannies here thought the anime would save this game
stupid trannies

>>529848762
I think thats a mistake, the game runs on amazon servers but you dont need to make an account

>>529861893
what's wrong with reading the wiki (i need a basis for a char i don't know nothing about) open training mode, see how their moves interact with mines and write this shit down? I streamlined the approach a lot, instead of writing from the perspective of a player maining that character, learning frametraps, oki, mixups, etc, i just write the fundamental stuff i need to learn from a gio perspective. I don't even play them online anymore. I went from 10 days per character to two at best. What else do you want me to do? Ofc i know this shit is surface level but it is supposed to be a base to refer to

How does he do it? There is no one on this guys level it's ridiculous. People really are capping when they say he isn't the goat.

>dizzy is the worst

>xrd player
no wonder, probably dogshit at strive

I don't think there's a fighting game with more dichotomy between story/gameplay than Guilty Gear.
Virtually every character in the franchise is based as fuck and would deserve their own spin off but all of them in gameplay are fucking cringe as hell gimmick abusers and knowledge check fiesta.
I love Leo and Potemkin up until I boot up the game and I want them and their players beheaded.

Bro called bridget, testament and the Xrd valentines based as fuck lol
Bro said answer and kum deserve their own spin off LMAO

>>529863874
venom may or may not be worse than dizzy but i play dizzy and i don't play venom so in my opinion dizzy is worse
dizzy's 2H whiffs all the time in combos based on very slight spacing issues and it's the only way for her to route into high damage
she also can't loop oki off her high damage routes but that might be true for venom as well idk

>>529865574

eruferuto?

nago kept doing this thing that looked like c.S>f.SSS to me in the corner
i could chicken guard but not actually get out of the corner so he just kept looping it and cranking my RISC
am i supposed to 6P the c.S because that seems like a great way to eat a full counterhit nago combo

>>529867107
Add Zappa

>>529867351
the third S is minus
if he's special cancelling the second one then you can mash forward fukyo and bite, jump out on back fukyo, and hold everything else
I IB his f.S rekka and backthrow on the second S. it's not a true punish and I won't do it more than once against a strong player, but nagos are all carried and haven't labbed the frametrap. I've hit it on 2K elo nagos
it's smarter to IBFD it because then you can chicken block without even thinking about a throw. I usually don't use meter on it because he doesn't give a shit about spacing for catching your jump out attempts

>>529867169

>>529867850
maybe i should lab the IB timing on that rekka
I've definitely been letting nago get away with too much

>>529868074
it's a great one to practice learning to IB on because it forces you to focus on one attack level
learning to IB cross transfers to every move of the attack level you practiced. same as learning to frametrap. when you learn to frametrap you intuitively learn to frametrap each attack level. once you've got it internalized, you can frametrap on every character

>>529867994
>desperate cock starved slut is the only one who doesn't get a sexy costume
love this gag

>>529868445
>learning to IB cross transfers to every move of the attack level you practiced
doesn't it depend on the attack level of the move before AND the startup of the move you are IBing?
i haven't really practiced it in part because this makes it seem really impractical except for specific strings

>>529869320
only if they're churning it out
if they're leaving a 1f frametrap, which they probably since it's the layer 1 play for 99% of people, then you just have to memorize the blockstun of each attack level and practice IBing that 1f delay timing
if they are mashing out their inputs then they get to sidestep your IB, but then their offense is way less threatening. and you won't even be at risk getting hit for attempting your IBs. there's probably some unique exceptions where a cancel's earliest timing is naturally 1-2f earlier than the end of your blockstun, in which case you'd get clipped trying to IB, but I have no idea what those are and I'm pretty sure I've never encountered it
t. IBs constantly

>>529869876
>if they're leaving a 1f frametrap, which they probably since it's the layer 1 play for 99% of people
does everyone just do this unconsciously?
i definitely stagger my pressure but i don't think at all about how big the gap is that i'm leaving open

>>529865873
venoms 2h is actually worse on its own, but he doesn't rely on it for combos like dizzy does, and its a low too
He gets to loop oki off of his "high" damage combos easily though, and off of pretty much anything really

>>529870021
yes, it's one of the first things you grind out. if you can't consistently represent frametraps then your opponent can just mash and safely block your blockstring while hedging for resets
>isn't it fine to have a 2f+ gap?
it is in a lot of situations, but in just as many situations you'll get backthrown
get backthrown enough times by some floor 10 ape and you'll wake from an anger fugue with all your frametrap timings down

>>529870565
>get backthrown enough times by some floor 10 ape and you'll wake from an anger fugue with all your frametrap timings down
that's fair but now how do i stop getting thrown every time i jump in on a big body

>>529870774
>jumping in on a big body
do you want to eat a 300 damage combo from an antiair starter?
if you're getting thrown on jump ins then you're getting scared and pressing too early. you need to be deep enough that they don't leave blockstun before you land and can hit them

>>529870231
>>529865873
What specifically do Venom and Dizzy need to be not bad?

>>529870926
>if you're getting thrown on jump ins then you're getting scared and pressing too early. you need to be deep enough that they don't leave blockstun before you land and can hit them
i know... but it keeps happening, and it happens way more against big bodies than anyone else
i play dizzy so my best jump-in is j.K which has fuck all blockstun and that makes it even worse

>>529871242
idk about venom but dizzy needs 10% more horizontal range on her 2H, more consistent oki setups (fish is currently fake after everything except non-CH 2D at close range, and often gives very little frame advantage), and better frame data across the board

>>529871242
venom just needs some damage. his pressure and mix is pretty good. memorizing the carcass minigame makes for an annoying knowledge check and then the RPS itself is pretty good. ball set neutral is a bit of a meme but it does what long range pokes are supposed to: encourage your opponent to over extend and hang themselves on impatience
dizzy has some fucked up behavior on freeze. her oki opportunities are finicky in the same way early strive pot was which is a big deal because a core part of her kit is being a mix up rapist and sneaking in wings of light
>>529871494
it's not your best jump in if you can't use it you silly bimbo. dizzy can't even gatling into j.D. save it for the fish mix
play grounded more

>>529872334
>pressure is good
completely falls apart to FD

>>529872334
>dizzy can't even gatling into j.D
she can but it's questionable because it doesn't hit high

with a little bit of testing it turns out that dizzy's j.D is actually insanely minus at point blank even if she's quite close to the ground when she does it
it does seem to push her out of grab range after a shallow jump in though

>another day passes with no information about ranked

I-Yes

>>529877273
I-Pod

What is this info drop / panel people are talking about (happening on Friday) and where is it being posted / broadcast? I don't see any upcoming videos on asw yt channels, anything on the official game site or twitter.

>>529879694
It will be at an anime convention. I actually have no idea if it's going to be streamed. It's specifically focused on the art side of adding Lucy to the game but we are coping and praying it will also include some other info, or at least a release date.

>>529872334
>venom just needs damage

how about focusing on the mechanic he is known for, balls? Make them last longer on screen, have a bigger hurtbox so you can hit them more consistently, have more ways to take advantage of them moving back and forth after hitting them, make unused balls move to your current location after summoning another ball, have the command grab be more nuanced than 5Ping it in the corner, have more diverse pressure options than using HS Carcass, etc.

"OH BUT HE'LL BE AN OPPRESSIVE ZONER" no he won't be because he is actually designed better than HC and asuka.

they made dizzy bad on purpose because they don't want peluna to win every major

>>529885453
>have the command grab be more nuanced than 5Ping it in the corner
no ones doing that anymore bro

soiver here
sometimes i genuinely think fondly about the time before bridget's announcement like it was some kind of better era

wake me up when ranked is here

>>529885453
>What would venom need to not be bad
>lists things that wouldn't effect him being bad
ball set would have to be HC 5H tier bullshit for him to be good despite having to 6-8 touch in the 2 touch game
that woukd be awful
all he needs is damage

finna loop c.S for pressure

>>529891720
cuz I'm not thinking in terms of sheer powercreep but how to have fun and more options to overwhelm the opponent. Venom getting more damage would solve the problem but there's no nuance to that answer

I don’t have the not throwing during blockstun gene

about less than 5 hours away from now I think

>>529931392
Yeah I remember reading about that. I also saw a rudimentary network analysis from that launch period as well. There are some limitations that would be difficult to work around like the design of their API, but even some of that may be able to be improved by caching certain info or providing an alternative source. Most of my speculation is based on what I remember from that early analysis where the game was pulling huge amounts of info about shit like character roster and your level / etc with each character and more, as well as making individual requests for each piece of info (overhead!) instead of bulk (or ideally some serial / head value and a delta). I think it was also going all the way to Japan for this too which magnified the overhead of all those connections.

Alexa, play The Gravity by Daisuke Ishiwatari.

All things as they are. Thanks Alexa

Surely they'll announce when ranked is releasing at a CDPR panel...

>>529943563
they aren't going to announce when ranked is releasing because you will not be getting a ranked mode.

Goldlewis players are so few and far between that whenever I match with one I think that surely he can't be as bad as I remembered and then you match with him and auto-lose the moment he sends out drone and you never want to play Strive again.

>>529943563
actually it’s listed as a GG developer panel thobeit

>>529943563
ranked is just going to die like other anime game ranked modes, then it's back to lobbies

>>529943678
but they promised... they even showed the rank icons...

>>529933979
Is Fahk super OP?

>>529943950
Legit question, why does no one play Goldlewis? Isn't he a top tier on par with Leo, Pot or Ram?

>>529944085
Ranked is alive when the other options are slower. It’s the only place uni2 has players. The tower will be dead compared to ranked because it’s fucking miserable.

>>529944875
His design only appeals to a small subset of gay men.
He is absolutely busted, yes.

>>529944085
Strive's player count is much bigger than any other anime game's.

>>529944875
gets assassinated in bracket by meme match ups
eats shit to johnny
he is really good overall

>>529944987
There's no way people don't play one of the strongest characters in the game just because he isn't some anime broad

>>529945260
There is one Leo player in all of Japan.

>>529945260
People probably find half circles too hard.

>>529945260
coomer genre

>>529944875
The half circles take a lot of getting used to, he initially struggles with a lot of MUs (Axl, Test), then even when you're good loses to HC and Johnny (but who doesn't) and his design is a fat glowie.
If you just wanna pick a cool dude who's top tier and steamroll fuckers then there's Johnny and Sin.

>>529946816
>sin
>cool

>>529946948
I dunno what the kids like man, but there sure are lot of Sins so maybe they like him? I personally think GL is cool.

>>529946948
Sin appeals to women.

>>529944278
He was when he released in t7, we currently don't know about 8 as he didn't release but there's plenty of reason to hate him even ignoring being op
They showed his kit a bit and he still has some really fucking busted tools, a tool for everything and a punishment tool for every fucking thing where you generally lack a few options like maybe a 11 and 12f punish options with other characters or suffer from weaker ones. Meanwhile his look great on top of having them.

Will the Lucy showcase from AX be streamed anywhere?

>>529947067
why are women so pedophilic

>>529947346
All women are shotacons. It's why there's a shota in Battle Fantasia, the first ASW game directed bt a woman.

>>529947346
Little boys are adorable and cute

>>529945260
It helps but in anime fighters you can't get someone to play something they seriously don't like. Look at Carl being the best blazblue character but nobody wants to play a nerdy shota.

>>529944278
Imagine if you launched Street Fighter was just unmodified Ram Valentine

>>529947346
Little boys are cute and adorable. Accidentally posted the wrong image, oops.

Man I fucking hate video preservation came into the genre so late
I was looking up a major from just 2017 and I couldn't find the videos of Xrd there even though Capcom started uploading high def videos of their crap on their own channels by then, this isn't even ancient era

>>529947116
>>529948587
Knowing how Tekken plays, do you think a basic fast and safe mid poke can reach from this range?

>>529948835
No.
Of course not.
There is no fucking way... That would be the best button in the game...

>>529948835
>>529948943
Whoops haha
There are moves with this range in 8, but I can't think of a single one that's a regular ass poke
No this isn't edited, this is from the clip the devs uploaded on twitter themselves

>>529949141
Obviously this is reactable and can be easily sidestepped and punished, right?
...right?

>>529947346
Wrong image again, sorry

>>529949229
Did you miss the fast safe poke part
Even if this crap was like -17, who the fuck can easily punish from the range after he finishes the animation
It might end up steppable but we can't know till he actually launches

Imagine if we got a new GG and they announced HC, showed him doing a gapless blockstring from fullscreen erasing you slowly or a new BB with a Kokonoe showcase that starts with her winning off a single jab
The devs have to hate the players to go with this fucking mong

>>529949704
This is insane. Didn't Harada himself acknowledge that the game is bad now? But the devs are just not trying to fix it? They're deliberately making it worse?
This is good news, actually. It means we're going to have tons of Tekken refugees flooding in once Ranked comes out.

>>529950006
To be fair the characters for the DLCs are probably decided really early and work put into them too
Not a real fucking excuse for Fahk but still

>>529950238
Didn't the patch come out on April 1st?
They've had plenty of time to make him not like that. This is a deliberate choice.

>>529951165
Unfortunately, there is no choice that they will announce the removal of Potemkin from the game.

>>529951165
miyauchi will say that ranked drops on the same day as lucy
trust the plan

watching tene's latest videos and I don't think I realized just how much system mechanics favored Potemkin
I knew he was broken but I didn't realize that the entire game is just built to make him broken.

>>529951784
I mean, unless they're delaying one it is very likely that's how it'll go yeah

>>529951165
Lucy's debuffs are:
>go down one floor if your lose
>uninstall the game (1 in 1 million chance)
>ddos your network
>add input lag (like valentine from skullgirls)
>switch to delay based netcode (both players)
>roll the game back (up to 5 seconds)
>kill you irl (1 in 1 billion)
>the character you play can no longer be picked for 24 hrs (if you have no characters left you can't play the game)
>forced orgy with unwashed cosplayers (strive characters only) at an anime convention

>>529951165
That armpit belongs to my penis

If they'd only fix the haunted stands in the tower/park

>>529948587
I don’t like how many channels break the top 8s into a bunch of different videos. I remember YouTube had some restrictions on video length or something but not all of them did that.

>>529945260
groomlewis is corny
not even americans will tierwhore that hard when one can just play a guy with a dp and have fun for free

>Anji's 5h fully extends his hurtbox 4 frames in
Can anyone explain why he has quirks like this in his kit that're not anywhere else in the game

>>529960270
He needs it

>>529960270
Strive feels a lot like it was balanced by a team of individuals who were only allowed to pass notes to each other every half year
>hmm Rin would be kinda strong if you could combo off it
>lmao what if GL could cancel his overhead into a second overhead into a kill combo

>>529960270
Sol fS used to do that. Probably others too.

>>529960270
Same reason why you can still punish his main gimmick on reaction after he took a risk and got the correct read

We are not getting ranked info

>>529961091
Sol fS moves him forward way before the active frames
We're talking about moves with 0 momentum

>>529962039
>>529961091
>>529960270
Sol's 6S also has him take a step forward, but also extends his hurtbox WELL before it becomes active. The thing is a trade machine.

>>529961875
why does blackbeard have jaundice

>>529962039
I meant before strive, so I'm sure someone else other than anji has that since the concept isn't new.

>>529962437
Alcohol?
The number 1 reason for jaundice?

>>529960270
A lot of moves extend hurtboxes before they're active dough, that's how you stuff moves at all. Like Millia f.S

>>529962350
Doesn't Sol's 6S consistently make trades that hugely favor Sol in terms of both damage and frame advantage

>>529962437
he's a pirate they are not traditionally known for being examples of healthy lifestyles

>>529962702
it's about how early it is for its start and how much it extends, you absolutely never fully extend the full hurtbox 4 frames into 15 frame moves with no movement

>>529963007
True but fuck Anji

>>529963139
>shoes on bed
god I hate white women

>>529962725
>Doesn't Sol's 6S consistently make trades that hugely favor Sol in terms of both damage and frame advantage
Depends what it trades with, and at longer ranges not really. It can also be low profiled, jumped over, and has 24f of recovery if you whiff.

>>529960270
They clearly had a different vision for the game early in development and he's a remnant from that era that they never bothered to truly fix him. Honestly it all makes sense when you watch the gameplay videos from back when they had the old HUD

>>529963913
My bad, I was thinking of 6H. That move is a menace.

>>529964035
So is 6h, don't let the Solfags downplay it

how long until the group suicide

>>529964471
I said 6H.

>>529964549
6S...
Whoops.

>>529960270
For me, it's the fact that this slow ass move that isn't even useful for DP baiting having 5k range at 15 frames

Who're the dedicated characters I'm allowed to seethe about today

>>529966617
Always Pot

>>529966684
If that's so, I wanna seethe about the buttslam hitbox and kara buster range, discuss.

cyberpunk s2 seems to be megakino with that director

>>529967345
That is not the consensus kappachino came to, my friend.

>>529963007
>>529965486
Wait it's 15f startup? Lmao what the fuck?

What if we got another one of Chipp’s guys and he’s like Ginyu where he has other ninjas as assist moves

>>529825862
The panel isnt even going to have a trailer lmao. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with ArcSys marketing. Like, why even do a panel at this point? A total waste of time
https://x.com/AFGCNews/status/1941243658579378503

>>529968957
Jesus, why

that jap faggot with the lip filler and the bogged cheeks at the panel cracks me up

>>529968957
Really nigga? I hope they at least talk about some stuff for the game. If it's just art then it's over.

ARE YOU READY FOR DISAPPOINTMENT?

>>529968957
it might be over

https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1941257719564075441

Bros I made celestial on my first day of playing this month

damn we got robbed of Geralt

>>529972008
still not a rpg

>>529972430
Geralt is somehow even more fucking boring, good riddance

>No GG news.
Am I really going to listen to them shill CP for 140 minutes?

>>529972908
YES

>>529972908
We'll be discussing all things Lucy's addition to #GGST and how this collaboration came to be! :)

this fucking sucks, i'm not watching this. lucy should never have been in this game

they'll turn the next GG into anime fortnite

>>529973936
Unironically. Next game will be some kind of team based arena fighter or moba or whatever with a fuckton of guest characters/crossovers.

>They're not even willing to tell us what the moves they're showing do, just showing the drawings
But why

I THINK she has a command grab but I might be wrong (bottom left of the sample drawing).

>Lucy is a Grappler
I will now buy your character.

>Balance patch confirmed.
FINALLY.

>>529974330
>>529974452
Hitgrab like the keygrab for the debuff
You heard it here first

i was in the shower did i miss anything

>>529974794
Yes
Pot players will be forced to get an enema on stream in a week

>>529974851
daisuke's vision... the game is saved...

>>529974367
Her 5D is just Unikas?

>no trailer until EVO
it is SO over

>Won't even bother showing anything till EVO
Jesus, they really meant the ass end of summer huh
I fucking hate businessspeak

lucy should grapple me

>>529975180
She could get released the day after EVO like what happened with Bridget.
Or like, a week later.
They usually show the trailers very close to release, for some reason.

>They just straight up said Lucy won't be a gr*ppler
Peace...

>>529975319
Yeah but even then, August is the last month of Summer
>We could've had Smasher as a playable character instead
God fucking damn it

>someone asked if Dr. Paragon will get in
>the answer was "anything's possible"
that means "no" but it's interesting how it's not an "absolutely not"

Any info on ranked?

lose those fucking lips miyauchi

>>529922781
even COTW online is damn fast despite the game being dead, there's no excuse for Strive

>>529975489
>Paragon
i meant PARADIGM
sumimasen daisuke-sama... gomenasai...

>>529975918
>even COTW online is damn fast despite the game being dead
Lol no
I mean, the infrastructure is but the wait times are stupid at certain ranks

>soft-confirmed that they wanted Geralt and got Lucy as a consolation prize
lol

venom will not have buffs because he was recently added

Lucy's game.

>>529922781
SF 6's splash screens and connecting to the server isn't super fast itself.

>>529976302
>special arcade mode
I missed this part, did they say anything about it or just that it will be long?

>>529975992
>Lol no
it is, you lying bitch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wwa564AbOh0&t=4226s

>our lead artist was really passionate about the possibility of turning a 3D photorealistic character into Strive's art style
more confirmation that they originally asked for Geralt

>>529976302
I hope it's just an arcade mode without you having to lose on purpose to get the whole story. Strive is so shit.

>>529976538
They talked a lot about Smasher too and he was in the bidya gaem

>>529976538
They asked for Ciri, actually. Are you niggas hard of hearing. Stop spreading misinfo.

>>529976538
They should’ve asked for rebecca

>>529976710
Sneed, please.

He practically said he wants Gabriel playable

"remember strive, it added guest characters"

Is this the legacy you guys want the game to have?

>>529976789
yes? guests are cool

>>529977030
spoken like a true NA monkey that poisoned the JP well

What are the chances Tokon will have a GG or BB rep

>>529977058
you are not japanese

>>529977058
japan had guest characters first

It should have been Leopaldon

>>529977150
japanese game

>He just said costumes will be a thing, likely in s5
Nice

THEY JUST CONFIRMED SKINS HOOOOLYYYY

>skins soft-confirmed
whoah...

Well why the fuck isn't Cyberpunk 2077 getting GG stuff though, imagine if we could use junkyard dog there

"no season 5" doomers absolutely BTFO

Doomercucks... I thought s4 was the end...

>More strive.
Xturd xisters...

Honestly who the fuck wants a season5?
Do you want 4 more bottom1 characters like dizzy and venom or rehashed kits like Unika?
Strive went from having a lackluster roster of 15 characters to being overbloated with characters at 32.
Then you go and seethe about no patches or terrible MU spreads motherfucker this game is an orgy of toons with weird ass kits, the more the characters they had, the harder it becomes to balance all of this. For sure we would have had a patch earlier if there was 10 less character that we have now.
Reminder that the last viable character that was added in the game is Johnny, everyone since have been nonexistent in tournaments either offline or online.

even if they were quitting with S4, after the last arcsys event, they'd definitely change their minds

>>529977482
this could possibly happen, there is an upcoming patch for cyberpunk

>>529977657
keep crying bitch

>>529977726
The CDPR guy also practically confirmed something about ArcSys will appear in either the anime or that game so we'll see
I hope it's not gay

>>529977657
I want it because I like Strive
It's not rocket science

>>529977657
>Honestly who the fuck wants a season5?
me

These fuckers aren't gonna ask about ranked.. I'm gonna lose it.

season 5 will lower damage, bring back proper gatlings, make air dashes good like in previous games, and give characters crazy movesets again, right?

>>529977817
>I like Strive
I do like Strive and I'd like to see more than 1 patch a year instead of focusing on bringing back Zappa or Jam for you retards to seethe they've been dumbed down and end up unplayable anyway.

>>529977893
They are nerfing zato and buffing potemkin.

>>529977927
You think there will be MORE patches if they are no longer making money?

>Just 1 new move for 1 character this patch
Jesus, japs are so slow

>one new move in the lucy patch
it's happening...

>>529978294
i would bet money that it is NOT for zato

>>529978294
Tokon cannibalized the team prease andahstandu

plz surprise patch for +R

>>529978363
Good. Fuck Zato.

>Nago is getting a fullscreen plus on block guardcrush.
Finally.

please give niggeryuki his new low special and make spin a medium again PLEAASSSSEEEEEE

guilty gear will be saved in 1 month

>>529977893
>right?
no maybe

Nago's new move will be a manual blood pop and his blood modo buttons will be buffed even further

>>529978450
no, the based team is working on tokon. the woke team is still all hands on strive. just goes to show how incompetent DEI hires are.

>>529978860
>team
No such thing as team blue and team red anymore after BBTAG.

it wasn't THAT bad cmon, it was even funny

>>529979490
they confirmed skins so that's something

>>529979629
skins, 1 new move and one gg character that was never playable in the future

>>529978004
As opposed to now were we have no patch despite them making money, and the frame data counter sucks fucking ass.

>>529979629
make all the women have skimpier clothing

>>529979786
>one gg character that was never playable in the future
That is only actually confirmed if s5 is too
It's Gabriel for sure.

>>529980025
They confirmed that ranked and balance are both coming in the Lucy patch? I missed the beginning of the panel.
