If anyone posts below me, both (You) and your GG main will be cursed with uggli.

Am i the only one who unironically finds the running macro makes you commit more mistakes? Sure, it's optimal but damn, double tapping feels much more natural.

I'm ok with Double tapping on keyboard but on controller If feels weird to me, problably because i play on analog stick. Before i used to play Skullgirls on my shitty laptop
This actually got me thinking If using an external tool to essentially make a makeshift dash macro for Xrd would be considered cheating

unironically find a strive kikecord you'd have a better time

>>532967249
i think you guys just... play the game.
Granblue is so dead all the dudes do is shitpost in the thread.

>i think you guys just... play the game.

>>532965012
I am playing the game, it has enough players that I can constantly be in matches and I have zero reason or desire to interact with the 4chan thread about it just like with other fighting games I either play or have played so I mostly just lurk.

I'm gonna be honest i entered this thread when everything leaked and stayed around because people actually talked about how retarded the gameplay is
The main subreddit is a fanart and unfunny meme factory

>>532935406
+R would be Broly. Z Broly. They have the same feeling to me.

>>532976473
LOL. Broly would be a different series entirely like SF or whatever else is like 10 times bigger than any GG game.

>>532965012
im waiting for the patch nigga

>>532981153
Nah… Broly is sick as hell… +R is also sick as hell… +R is the Broly of fighting games.

>>532967761

Predictions on how they will fuck up the patch? Here are mine:

>Ranked will be messed up and not work on release because they won't hold an open beta for some reason.
>The nerfs will be utterly meaningless on the top tiers and actually hurt the lower tier characters.
>Likewise, the buffs on the low tier characters will end up being useless.
>The new move will do fuck all if zato gets it, and either be broken or niche on anyone else.
>Lucy will be either really annoying, utter dogshit, or not interesting/too gimmicky and dropped after a week or two, and her song will suck ass but I don't really care for Strive's soundtrack anyways so w/e.

Captcha: PWAPP I thought it was funny enough to include.

>>532983857
My prediction is to play BlazBlue

>>532983857
They're going to overbuff Dizzy and make her top 5. I can feel it in my bones.

>>532983857
I only pray Johnny isn’t hit hard

>>532983857
>how they will fuck up the patch
venom will be made good

>>532983857
guardcrush change will make bedman unfun to play and you'll never see me again

>>532983857
If they dont make venom atleast top 10 then its over

>>532983857
Pot will get even more compensation buffs when they lightly nerf Garuda

>be Leo
>play like a dumbass whole round
>run one blockstring
>get one forced RISC CH
>win
It's that easy folks

also man, I miss the tranny drama. I'm glad they got banned but the general is so lifeless without them, it's not like anyone's here for the actual gameplay

>>532993048
>ONE forced risk CH

>>532983857
If johnny and pot get fucked, I’m good
Venom rework and Lucy being dogshit would be a nice bonus

>comparing johnny to pot
I wonder who could be behind this

>>532994103
I didn't make that post but I agree with it

>>532994103
A based chad who probably plays an honest mid tier

eno butt

>>532995141
My face belongs there

It should have been her.

>>532996504
She belongs to one man only, be respectful. And his name is Axl Low.

>Guard crush will be easier to deal with
They're just going to make a huge CRUSH! popup when you get gc

>>532997915
That kooky brit doesn't deserve a literal succubus

>>532998481
Reduce frame advantage and add more chip and damage to the moves that have it

>>532998481
it's going to be like how unblockable mist finers work in xrd, you're going to have to mash out or get hit(you won't be able to mash out in time dw)

>>532990693
As if anyone plays him now

is tiger knee important in this game?

>>533001419
only for baiken

TBB is by far strive's worst aspect. Aba and pot are disastrous.

>>533002357
What's TBB?

Fuck off retard this shit is "short hair ram" tier garbage where they just slapped Ky's hair model onto ram.

Let me carve your way could be a good song without the horrible, cringe ass ''drowned in pain i lost my mind theres no good or bad in there''
actually impressive that they thought it would be a good idea to have this line play 99 times

>>533013058
I think the best of those linda of mods is the Aba short hair one

>>533010294
Unigga...

hey how is this game for a SAfag?
Been playing SF but after labbing this for a bit this looks sick

There isn't a single session I've ever had with this game where I don't just sit there baffled at how fucking stupid the throw mechanics or lack of recovery in this game are at least once. I shouldn't physically be saying "Whaaat???" with my mouth like a wannabe youtuber and yet I do because what's happening on the screen just makes that little sense.

and 50 years of hitstop. all the footage looks so slow.

nothing can kill strive because no new game can resist having awful features

>>533061505
white nigga
wigga

strive is the worst fighting game... for now.

Someone redpill me on Slayer. He seems good but he has 0 defense? How do I deal with Strive's bullshit if I had 0 invul or DPs? Block? LOL

>>533070028
just hand of doom bro

>>533070028
You seem to be confused. Not having a reversal doesn't mean you can't chimp out on defense and be rewarded for it. Slayer in particular has a unique mechanic with his backdash that allows him to attack when he does it which is pretty bullshit and beats some stuff some characters have that otherwise is unbeatable. Slayer also has a few really good mashing butt0ons with tons of range on them that lead to him doing whatever he wants after. Basically, as long as you're not back-to-corner, you can make them guess what you'll do on defense and sometimes the best thing to do is block

>>533070028
the game literally gives you a "get out of one combo free" button

I thought Sol was the "make up the combo as you go" character but his playstyle seems to be pretty tight in execution

>>533070710
I feel like Ky is a lot more freestyle than Sol is, with meter you can convert from anywhere into anything.

>>533070028
hit the other guy first

>>533070710
Unika is that character now. Any S/H button into bullshit into RC to death

>>533067615
Adding awful features and retcons is what made strive succeed like it did

>>533070842
>>533071160
Whats Sol's specialty then?

>>533071250
he punches things

>>533071250
good question.
>He does have big buttons but so does everyone else.
>He does big damage but so does everyone else
>has a DP but a lot of characters have that
I guess he has an install you can go crazy with?
In the current version of the game I see no reason to not pick Leo/Unika over him.

>>533071250
he does a gorillion fucking damage and has a bunch of good tools that might not be best in class but are more than sufficient

>>533071545
sol and leo aren't really that similar

>>533072009
>sol and leo aren't really that similar
it's just gorillas going about it in 2 different ways. Leos way is kinda harder overall but he gets better results. Sols is more straightforward but it's inferior overalll

>>533072351
i don't really agree with your premise that leo is all that similar to sol or that leo is better
for one thing sol has a much more favorable matchup against the top-tier big bodies this patch simply because he can kill them much quicker than leo can

>>533072661
leo is a lot better simply because of back-stand pressure, not sure how anyone could argue that.
I still feel Leo does well against current top tiers, he has his S-HS repeating string, his really good fireball and better offense overall.
I don't think Sol is bad, I just think Leo is beter OVERALL. though in certain matchups yea Sol will come out on top.

>>533073235
backturn pressure is extremely strong online but gets much worse offline. saying leo fireball as a strong point against top tiers is bizarre to me when GL, pot, and nago all have ways to completely shutdown leo using fireball as an approach tool

Sol fucking sucks and I'm glad people are starting to be forced to face that reality

>>533076454
sol is really bad if his player sucks at the game

>>533073235
>really good fireball
its mid

>>533074748
EVERYONE PLAYS ONLINE YOU RETARDED NIGGER

Does Raven have a chance of coming back. He looks fun in Xrd

>>533079798
yeah

>>533071250
High BST

>>533077117
but I thought he was a braindead top tier gorilla for mashing retards???

>nago vs nago matchups
All full set can be done in under a minute.

>>533072009
What tools they’re all death on block

>>533083094
What the fuck do you mean death on block. You are playing Sol. You have the best "you die if you press" buttons in the fucking game

bring out the lobster

>>533083723
Every special he only has fS that’s all he has all he can do everything else is combo filler

I have no Idea what Sol's routes look like. Is it really just 6S>vortex>2K>Fafnir? I'm not even sure If that works

>>533086363
Many things go into vortex 2k 6s fafnir or fs 2h vortex 2k hvv

What's the current verdict on Ky?

>>533088549
not guilty, he's the king so he can just pardon himself, and most people don't even know she's only like 8

>>533083723
>Bandit Bringer - death on block
>Bandit Revolver - death on block
>Night Raid Vortex - double death on block
>Fafnir - leads to rps but only if your opponent can't reaction grab/dp it (they can)

midscreen counterhits barely make a difference in damage, wall counterhits are nothing special when you remember Slayer Goldlewis and Unika are in the game.

>>533084675
no anon you don't get it +2 fS into run up and grab is the strongest offense in guilty gear strive

>>533086363
you got the order wrong, it's any hit (except for p and k, you only get bandit bringer or kara viper) bortex, 2k, 6s fafnir. Meter barely makes combos do any more damage unless you're adding a tyrant rave to the end of a corner combo. On a midscreen big counter you can do fully charged bortex into a c.S 6s fafnir instead of the 2k for like 20 more damage in total.

I genuinely think that if they don't put out the patch note immediatly after EVO ends I'm killing myself.
I don't care about having the patch itself in a month at this point but if they give us the patch note 2 days before the patch this company hates us and for sure that I'll be RQing every single faggot once ranked drops.

>>533089117
Isn't BB safe on block

>>533090597
If perfectly spaced you'll just eat a 2k or a turn end instead of a close slash

>>533091467
its -4 doe
it has enough pushback to be safe from all 2Ks

>>533070028
hand of doom is pretty good against anji and uh…

>>533103064
>Average strive tournament goer.
Imagine how many times this has happened at EVO or whatever tournament. Having to sit there while the guy in front of you soiled his trousers.

Where them zesty white boys at?

If ArcSys wasn't so allergic to fun Slayer's dash kara would sideswitch like his regular dash.

>>533089117
nigga the frame data on his normals is godlike. You don't have to cancel into anything on block and you're fine.

>nothing special when you remember Slayer Goldlewis and Unika are in the game.
Look at these 3 characters that do something better than mine. Downplay 101

i really cant believe that they never nerfed happy chaos.
i don't know what kind of gibbering retard you'd have to be to pick anything but happy chaos if you're gonna play this game competitively.
genuinely and unironically the single most carried character in fighting game history.

>>533079103
Most of us don't. Not our problem you don't get invited to locals.

sometimes I see people on the internet say arcsys is too woke and wouldn't allow platinum in bb strive, but delilah is right there in their wokest game yet. what do you think, /ggg/?

>>532933681 (OP)
lol Ky's nipple is censored

>>533110906
i've been looking at tekken drama and knee, a bryan player, basically said the only people that call him op can't play him to prove it. if he were really op, then everyone would be playing byran and he would get more results, but they don't. so now you have bandai listening to twitter about a character balance and nerfing a character for people that don't want to learn the matchup.
i don't know if it's true, but it reminded me of current hc, and how a fun character was ruined and no longer gets results, yet people who never tried to play the character or don't know the matchup are still calling for nerfs.

Won another local with the Bed. It was tough but i'm goated like that.

>>533115741
Daisuke unironically said teching is too complex for strive babs pre release.

>>533118860
Ackshually, its because Xrd babs were complaining that forward airtech airdash was so hilariously strong in Xrd that they decided to get rid of it completely, because what do you mean I can just go in immediately after getting bursted

>>533119173
and they are right. forward air techs are annoying af in xrd and I hated playing around it. but I would have increased the untech time instead of getting rid of it entirely.

>>533119173
look buddy, tech jS is the way to go in these games, no matter which char you play

Air teching has singlehandedly ruined tokon for me. I'm no longer interested in playing that kusoge.

I don't mind air tech as long as you don't have to mash desu

>>533113743
a common bed W

>strive with air techs
could you imagine

>>533115741
Strive was originally a more focused game. Years of patches ruined that though. Air teching should be in the game at this point. More gatlings too fuck it.

I retain the genuine (and correct) opinion that Happy Chaos players are simply better at the game, and that a lot of tournament level players pick Happy Chaos because he's one of the only characters in the game that actually rewards you for investment. everyone here cries about tierwhoring and character loyalty, when its Happy Chaos players who have stuck with their main all this time even now that he NEVER wins anymore, and every time you open the game you see a big UMISHO who was actually a huge Sin fan all along and played him in secret for years instead of just jumping on him for a few months because everybody knows he's broken.

when's the patch coming out?

>>532965012
strivers are trannies
I am still planning to reinstall after the update so expect more low quality posts around that time
>>533122910

respect badbro, really fun character

>>533147173
I just know there's one faggot lurking that can answer but too shy to do so

>>533148201
Now I'm not gonna tell you

>>533148345
made you post tho

>>533148201
>>533147173
Isn't it after EVO like usual? The only thing different this time AFAIK is they usually launch characters in the existing sandbox rather than making changes to characters / system mechanics alongside a new character.

>>533148669
I don't know... When the evo is...

>>533148852
Starts this Friday around 12 noon EDT. I'd expect the patch to be either Sunday night (because JP) or Monday morning. They'll probably give us the specifics during EVO.

>>533149209
well great, now there's one thing less to talk about

State of strive?
Is wild ass(ault) still fucking gay and prevalent?
Did they patch any low tiers out of hell?
Are they actually implementing actual ranked?
Follow up: is trying to connect to someone still a fucking nightmare?
And lastly
Is the game fucking dead?

strive? you mean that game gay people play?

>>533070028
You have a reversal super, really good 2p and 5k. You used dp as a cruch, learn when to ib into throw, and when to fd into 5k

>>533151460
That's the one yes

>>533151223
They're nerfing wild assault, ranked is getting implemented, connecting to someone is still likely to be the same as it always has, and the game is not dead surprisingly. What's happening to low tiers will be decided with the actual non-vague patch notes with the update that drops in August...

>>533152218
in strive sol asks him to touch more

>>533151809
They removed the startup invul of super mappa hunch in season 4, bro

>>533151819
hmmm

>>533152005
>We do not plan to strengthen other systems to compensate
their first good patch in years, potentially
Not gonna hold my breath but maybe if they put some respect on my character this game isn't completely fucked

>>533151223
Axl, Zato, Millia, Testament, Faust are still considered bad. Pot, Sin and Anji are considered top 5 now. Bedman? is aight. Venom and Dizzy get called bottom 5 too

Pot's command grab being twice the range of Chipp's with faster startup and higher reward is... Interesting, to say the least.

They should have stopped at like mid season 2
Nothing that's come out or been changed since then has made the game any better.

>>533152828
>Axl, Zato, Millia, Testament, Faust are still considered bad.

>>533151809
>You have a reversal super
oh no no no no no

>>533152898
The grappler weakness is supposed to be slow and fat, so if you dare to approach without advantage you die.
Pot subverts this by being in an anikuso and literally sliding and flying across the screen, but retaining the strengths of his archetype

>>533164230
he only plays neutral

>>533164230
between round start and round end pretty much

>>533164885
>>533166402
Zoners don't play neutral by definition because they're advantaged during it

>>533166468
every time axel does something he potentially kills himself so he's never at an advantage really

>>533166715
If he's at a disadvantage it's still not neutral

>>533166948
it even out it when he isn't killing himself so it's back to neutral

Every time [my main] does something [s]he potentially kills h[er]imself so [s]he's never at an advantage

>>533167403
Is this about Gio?

You can delay tech if you’re getting tech trapped

>>533181859
I fucking hate air tech
I hope the marvel slop flops so that we don't it doesn't become a trend setter

We’ve lost so much faith in fighting game developers that we are now celebrating games having air recovery

If HC, Asuka and Venom can't have reversal supers why does Jack'O get one

>>533197572
she used to have the worst reversal super in the game but then they changed it because in strive characters aren't allowed to have weird gimmicky moves

finna jack-o(ff)

>>533205560

>>533197572
She has to pull out her servants to access the gimmick meanwhile the others have instant access

>>533151223
Wild assault was nerfed last season and is getting nerfed again. Potemkin is now top 1 and no one is happy about it.

>>533170741
Millia looks nothing like this

>>533158932
Pretty much, but he's more like one of the 100s across the board 'mons like Celbi or whatever. Sol doesn't have any bad matchups, but he also doesn't have anything to stop any of the shenanigans Pot, Chaos, Asuka, or Slayer normally pull.

>>533211008
LoadKnight is saying the Raven player is excited for air tech because Raven players are infamous for doing forward airtech>airdash from across the screen so they can just reapply pressure. Especially potent because of his dumb airdash

>Sol doesn't have any bad matchups
Ask me how I know you don't play Sol

>>533214462
then how did you know it was millia?

>>533214462
Her body is literally like that in game thoughbeit.

>>533215712
People draw Millia like this frequently

We still don't know Unika's english voice actress

>>533218474
I forgot there was a dub.

>>533218474

>>533113651
HC still gets the most results out of any single character. You'll see one or two at EVO top 8 too.

>>533245693
Imagine if instead of Happy Chaos doing a full combo and wallbreaking you from a charged gunshot across the screen, he could only shoot you like one more time and then you jump out.
If air teching was in the game, many characters would have more tame conversions and there would be less oki across the board. You know how you get to choose where you fly around after unsticking from the wall if your opponent doesn't do anything? It would be like that. Naturally movement would be more emphasized since neutral is played more.

muh movement muh muthafuckin nootral bix nood

Reminder that it is canon from Daisuke himself that JackO acts like a toddler at home so Sol does all of the housework and makes all of the money while JackO sits there watching youtube shorts, eating candy and twerking.

>>533262630
did DR lie to me about my jack-o housewife?

>>533262794
Thank you for reminding me that literally everything in this god damn series is made up from moment to moment and Daisuke couldn't give a single shit about continuity or story

>>533262417
they made me feel cool

Today I learned Daisuke was completely uninvolved in XX's story and he outright refused to write one for it.

>>533259862
why would you spend hundreds to go to the most competive bracket in the circuit when they have their own platinum qualifier coming up. The prizepool of awt is 20x smaller than capcom cup and the evo prize itself is a joke. Tatuma only went because he won playstation qualifiers

>>533263212
Weird how it fits guilty gear more than his recent work did, I wonder who wrote it then.

>>533262794
didn’t Sol say his african cooking was better

Is it possible to perform well with Johnny (i.e. hit floor 10 or celestial) without being about to do the crazy stuff like the instant overhead mist finer? Or is he just shit tier or broken with zero in between?
I haven't played in 3 years but I'm getting back in, I main May, but I want to pick up Johnny and make him my secondary because its Johnny, but I'm bad at high execution.

Sex with the sacred briars

>>533264452
idk. i only watched 3 episodes of this shit

what gets me about Dr is that even the hype moments and aura were bad.
Even if it wasn't animated like janky trash, the giant-ass outlines and soulless coloring rob any screenshot or video of any potential of looking good

>>533265584
Did it even HAVE any hype moments or aura besides Sol punching Unika's non-canon mini gears?

>>533266184
unika accepting her trans identity was LIT

>>533259862
So providing Tatuma doesn't get knocked out early by some Ram or GL, there will be 1 Sol in top 48, maybe even top 128?

this'll probably be the final year strive makes evo sunday unless 2xko fails catastrophically

>>533264913
bro just practice 9214 after cS for s bit
his strike throw ain’t bad though with his 15 frame stepdash recovery and guard crush plus frames high level johnny’s win matches without using a single overhead

>>533269132
really? i thought it was still the fourth-most popular game or so

>>533271893
Actually you're right, I forgot COTW was the 3rd sunday game. There's no way that shit's making sunday next year.

>>533271996
what do you think is gonna displace it?

>>533272380
Probably 2XKO. The FGC illuminati is way too behind that game for them not to push it to be on Sunday. Unless Tokon comes out before next August which I doubt.

>>533272503
>Unless Tokon comes out before next August which I doubt.
why? It has a playable build and a presentation breaking down the mechanics on friday.

>>533256108
what if happy faggot took skill to play

>>533269132
LOL what's gonna kick it out? fucking 2xko or cotw lmao

>>533264427
>The story for Guilty Gear XX was written by Kaihou Norimitsu, who also wrote the novels Guilty Gear X Lightning the Argent and Guilty Gear X The Butterfly and Her Gale, as well as the Guilty Gear Xtra manga.

>>533279479
He also wrote Dual Rulers

>>533262965
Strive's Story: Sol says that Jack-O is a regular human now while chastising her for getting involved in the fight with Malcom Myers
Dual Rulers: Jack-O says "I'm far stronger than a human." and takes out multiple US Soldiers on her own

Why be interested in the story when nothing matters?

>>533279640
No, he is listed as "Series Composition"

>>533280898
Nigga what the fuck do you think that means. Besides he's also credited for the script

The evils of Lucy was all around me

Being a fan of guilty gear has taught me that the only people who care about guilty gear's deep epic lore are secondaries who don't actually engage with the games.

bedman is so fucking cool

>>533281765
It's true and most of the fanarts come from these people because fighting game unironically filters them.
Still I rather have a person that do not play the games but respects the lore (bridget is a boy) than dealing with elphelt and bridget tranny players who open their mouth about strive's balance from floor7.

floor 8 gio here
I think they need to buff Pot

Floor 7 sol here
I think they need to buff Gio

Floor 6 slayer here
empty p dandy needs less recovery

If gio was in xturd like she was meant to be her dash would go through projectiles

>>533283889

kys retarded secondary defender
>>533284707
If she was in xrd she'd look like shit the same way everyother 1st timer in that game does.

>IBd the second hit of ram's j.214S for a guaranteed punish
lab boars are the most powerful race on earth

the game needs IBs to be a 5 frame window

>>533287084
no. it'd devalue me being the only person who can do it consistently

>>533287537
that's like saying you're the best sprinter in a 1 legged race.

>>533269132
>unless 2xko fails catastrophically
So strive is confirmed for Sunday for 3 more years at least

>>533287895
2f IB is a clean 400 meter sprint but gear sissies are too lazy to get on the track
even at top level play hotashi is the only one who would regularly go for it

But enough about /ggg/

>>533289003
hoetashi is only one going for it because the reward for landing it is lower than normal block or fd. there's nothing in strive worth ibing by design. he only looks silly for doing it.

>>533296449
Aren't there some safe on block moves that you can punish If IB'd

>>533300124
>Aren't there some safe on block moves that you can punish If IB'd
Yes. The change in expected pushback can also throw off an opponents rhythm or give you an opening if they autopilot.

They don't even fly out Katano or Daisuke for this shit anymore. Seems like they're trying to make this Ken Miyauchi producer the new face of the franchise

>>533302194
Daisuke is working on his passion project.

Nitro will win EVO again, but this time with Giovanna.

>>533300124
it can also lets you leverage gaps that you wouldn't usually be able to
like you can back throw gold trying to meaty c.S -> 942 bt if you IB the c.S

>>533272503
man if tokon releases before fucking 2xKO i will lose my shit lmao

also, i think 2xKO will be succesful no matter how shit it is cause poorfags and teenagers love free shit, and well the strength of the IP.

>>533286080
I hate people who never lab counterplay and just cry about it.
Yeah, top tiers are strong its why they are top tiers.
But you need to try to find how to play around them, top tiers will always exist... though preferably not this strong.

It's been a while but Im gonna start training a bit for the ranked queues

>>533317017
Nigga he was working in marketing and was overseeing communication between ASW muttland and main Japanese branch before becoming GG IP producer lmao. He had nothing to do with direct development of Strive. Producer of GG IP for like 20 years was that dude who is now executive producer on Tokon. Miyauchi got position because Strives biggest market is america and he knows english and was already overseeing marketing overseas in general. Same marketing that people were dunking on and saying how dogshit it is for years by the way. That dude is now general producer on GG IP.

bro...?

>>533321126
and that is bad because?

>>533322158
I hate this kind of dick and that type of boob
abhorrent image

>>533281765
Unironically true to some extent. The "lorebait" stories with technobabble and zany designs like GG and BB really attract secondaries who are more interested with the lore and characters than the actual fighting game aspect. People who play these games just play it. Its one of the downsides of making a detailed story for a fighting game, because then you'd attract people who are only there to discuss, not to actually play.

>>533302194
So Tokon is on the Sony booth?

>>533323228
Agree with the long thin dick but that boobs are amazing

wtf

fellas... getting filtered by ram auto combo into overhead, what do?

Watched edgerunners. It was pretty fucking great.

...and also makes duel rulers even more embarrassing. I can't imagine the show ever getting someone into the games the same way cyberpunk did.

>>533327851
in Xrd? She can't do an overhead out of her rekka thing in Strive right?
It's pretty gay but she can only do it after one of these moves, and only the first one has a low followup. To actually be good at the matchup it's important to learn all her strings because whether she starts on 2P or 2K matters a lot for fuzzy blocking but at the start just look for these to be ready for the overhead and if they're being too predictable you can mash to interrupt it or blitz or jump out etc. When she's got swords on you it gets a lot more complicated but it's pretty easy to shut down low level Rams that rely on mashing out random strings into the overhead with a little practice.

I just watched the first 4 episodes of Dual Rulers. I don't get what people find so bad about the animation, its decent enough and for sure leagues above the animation in Strive's story mode where you'd have characters sliding across the ground doing their in-game walk/run cycles.
Also I feel very vindicated that the ending of episode 4 shows the takeaway I got from Bridget is exactly what the takeaway was supposed to be; he doesn't care about proving himself one way or the other anymore, he's just gonna be himself, you can call him a boy or girl, Bridget is just Bridget.

>disable crossplay
>LITERALLY NO ONE IN THE TOWER

wtf

>>533330324
>I don't get what people find so bad about the animation
most of the run time is a slideshow

>>533329815
Her right foot's bandage on the right animation pose looks like it is positioned incorrectly. Also wow, strive really did get a graphical upgrade (not that Xrd looks bad).

>>533330410
yes

>>533330410
if you disable crossplay, you can only play with other people who have also disabled crossplay

>>533331507
what sort of retarderd implementation in this, disabling crossplay should just make so you dont "see" people on other platforms.

>>533331578

>>533341047
Meme, learn mandarin spanish or korean if you ever plan on actually using it

nice try, seojun

>>533341047
The language isn't bad at all. It's just that Germans like gatekeeping people (and often times themselves) way too often. It's one of those things that happens but you can't talk about it openly becauae everyone denies it.

>>533331507
>>533331578

It's designed as an opt-in pool rather than a filter option.

i got the full version of this game for free due to a steam transition error and I still don't play it much.

>>533343647
Yeah but that is stupid, just because i dont want to play with console players(because most of them are on wifi) doesnt mean i dont want to play with players who dont mind playing with them, for some reason.

>>533371998
why would i waste my time on a discord game?

>>533377168
true, thats why I play sf6 instead of soive

someone post the webm

Strivers will look at the Granblue roster and ask, 'Where are all the black people?'

>>533379194
I look at the roster and say "Damm that's a lot hot bitches" and then I don't play it anyway

>>533377168
Yeah I dunno why anyone talks about strive anymore

>>533379194
they have bubs zooey and eustace. bubs is even a zesty ass nigga with his hair braided up

Anyone want to play some +R?

>>533389339
how many players +r has on fightcade?
considering picking it up cus strive keeps giving me disconnects.

>>533390707
You play it on steam, it's not on fightcade. It has 24 players right now, it goes up to about 50 in peak eastern hours. Only counting players actively in quick match. It's really easy to get into games in it.

>>533391168
/ggg/ has a peak of 50 posters and I can never get games here

>>533391245
Very few posters come here to play. Everyone in quick match wants to play.

>>533391479
I do, still waiting on that lobby

>>533392014
For +R?

>>533392763

Yeah but i got no money

>>533396429
It's 3 dollars and 74 cents...

>>533393958
I see, I don’t play strive or I’d host one.

>>533397539

>>533397539
3 dollars and 74 cents too much, I say!

>>533405904
I do... it's not very popular on SA that's true but i can get 120-180ms matches and i will accept those, SF is too fucking boring.

ARCSYS LET ME FUCKING PLAY STOP KICKING ME OUT HOLY FUCK AGAIN IN A MATCH WITH GOOD CONECTION I AM DISCONECTED OUT OF THE BLUE WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME FUCK FUCK FUCK
i give up, i am going to play tekken

>>533410750
because it's hot, homo. and it is physically impossible for a woman to dominate any male.

What if you have no arms and legs and she's got super powers like Baiken

>>533411459
>tekken
At least play the slime fighter

>>533417542
yeah or that. It's just that everyone is so fucking ugly in sf6

>>533417012
when then i'd want her to fuck me like a human sex doll

>>533411771
>physically
that's why you send her pictures of you playing strive for blackmail

>>533417637
Even Mai?

>>533418497
Mai is literally the only good looking character but i dont like how she plays.

>>533418578
That's fair, just making sure your dick wasn't broken

I dont get why the 4chan hivemind has decided Mai is the only acceptable character in sf6 that you must start jerking off to the moment you see when she's rendered and modelled in the exact same photoreal art style as everyone else

>>533423070
It's her tits ass and face combo retard, simple as. She dresses like a slut too.

>grabs wallbreak in tokon
man fuck strive

>>533423581
What an vile response

No surprise you don't get why people think the hot character is hot.
Youre a dickless faggot

>>533424207
you are disgusting

>tokon has normal airdashes without the long ass startup they have in strive
So what happened to the excuse of them needing to be like that because of the dash macro?

You're a eunuch freak, or worse knowing this generals demographic.

>>533423660
>implying we're not getting this in S5

>>533424864

Because you have assists in that game.

stfu revbab

>>533423070
Juri and Chun look good and Cammy looks OK
The problem is the newcomers pretty much all look like vomit

Tokon looks cool but i dont think its for me
i guess ill be playing strive and melty blood forever

>>533429525
the lack of burst is what worries me

>>533411304
me too...

>>533426880
There will be an announcement at EVO that they don't have a planned release date for S5, but that they are planning on releasing one once they feel they have enough content and "direction" for it be "satisfying for players". In the mean time they'll say they're exploring options for content beyond just new characters and stages for the next season, and will be soliciting player feedback soon. The survey will ask about adding characters, outfits beyond just colours for characters on a per-character voting basis, and ask for player input on the scale of balance changes to the game going forward.

>>533429704
wallbreak is basically free unbaitable burst
there doesn’t seem to be any wall hard knockdown

>>533429704
you have brave guard from granblue, somewhat. and also a counter.

They made BBTag 2 and then painted Marvel over it

>>533430941
the fuck is a brave fart?
sorry i don't play gran poopoo

>>533431497
an unblockable guard cancel and guard break

It still has some unfortunate leftovers from Strive, but Tokon seems like it might be an actually good game.

>>533327851
>>533329815
well her strings that end in the overhead start from 5k/2k and the 2nd hit is always pic related, she can go for a low instead but the overhead is +3 and the low is -12 so if she doesn't have meter she won't go low, probably. if you IB the 2nd hit you can throw the overhead, if you suck at this game and miss the IB you can still blitz

>>533431739
he said it with a period so you know hes super serious

>>533429704
The perfect parry thing will not only get them off you, it will lock their assists. I think if its moderately ok to do, thats already a fucked up defensive mechanic I feel

>>533432050
cant you just 6P the overhead?

I wish i could 6P my wife

>>533431704
so not in combos. That's the problem. You will have to endure aids triple assisted 20 second long combos all the time

>>533433172
>endure aids triple assisted
That's only if they have all 3 of their assist gauge up
>20 second long combos
That's the wall brother

>>533432901
Sol, no

>>533432901

Its ackshually the BBTAG with some DBFZ, Strive and Grubble strands baked into its dna. If anything Id praise it for its approach on a 4v4 fighter being a 2v2 fighter where you need to build to your 3rd and 4th team members; instead of copying Marvel vs Capcom formula for the 3rd time in thr past 8 or so years

>>533432491

>>533437485
strive always has boring round 1 pools
there are no international players to rob

I've been playing more and more XRD Leo and I've been noticing that people that play pixie characters have the self preservation instinct of a fucking hamster, you should be alarmed, a fucking caveman is in your no no zone and is about to bash your skull in with a rock, do you try to carefully diffuse the situation using FD, IB, Blitz Shield and other tools at your disposal or do you mash 2p/hold upback and hope for the best? like stun is a thing in this video game and CHs apply a stun multiplier, I'm winning yet I'm still mad

>>533440340
The only players that respect their own safety are zoners
And they are punished for it

>>533440340
We don't play that crap here.

>>533440340
pixie players tend to be chimps on defense because they feel like if they can run their degenerate gameplan then they'll snowball the round and win

>>533440340
>you should be alarmed
pixie fags downplay their health bar in every discussion so they can always play on layer 2

This thread has been up for almost a week, is guilty gear really that dead?

>>533442340
Yes

>>533442340
shitposters got bored
90% of thread activity used to be bridget and gamewar posters

>>533440340
blocking Leo just fucking sucks, especially for lower level players, he's plus and forward moving on everything even outside of backturn, cautious defence just means you have flashing risk when he opens you up, might as well guess early
better players will at least try to guess in safer spots and ways but there's very few characters in the game that can punish "carefully diffusing the situation" harder than Leo, and especially in terms of relative skill. Leo offence requires like 80% less brainpower than defending against Leo offence so outside of the top level the Leo player will almost always be a couple layers ahead in terms of adaptation because his end of the interaction requires so much less execution and thought.

>>533442340
this patch has sucked ass for basically the entirety of 2025

>>533442340
What is there to discuss outside of being /fgg/-lite, and the abhorrent state of the online play and balance? Just wait for the patch and ranked

>>533442340
Previous thread lasted 8 days. Last DLC is a shoto with a shit gimmick and leaked 3 months ago. Last balance was i9 months ago. Canon anime sequel was awful. New features dripfed after evo. Damon&Baby waiting room

>>533442340
They'll probably announce S5 at evo, just wait

>>533442438
I started seeing declines with two major events:
Season 3's release
And the launch of SF6
I'm not staying or implying anything about those two events specifically

Tokon looks a lot like DNF with more mechanics based on this video

S-ko taking over the Lucy trailer would be kino but Miyauchi ain’t chill like that

Has there been any patch of this game that wasn't complete ass?

>>533445076
The one where my main got buffed

>>533443723
I don't really see that, could you explain why you think this?

>>533443723
???

>>533445076
Season 2

My main concern for Tokon is the balance being shit, the second is the wallbreak-adjacent mechanics, if those turn out to be good then it might be the only modern game I play.

>8 way airdashes
>magic series
>dp motions
Cool. If the damage is scaled properly I think Im ok with this. 1 lifebar for a tag fighter feels weird, then again this is 3 rounds.

I just find it pretty funny Strive was basically a testing grounds for this game. I just hope the dumb damage doesnt carry over

>>533445857
wallsplat giving a character is kinda gay but it still sounds better than strive snowballing

will this general include tokon when it comes

>>533450628
Would be separate like the usual with fg threads.

>>533442340
>character output has slowed down and people are not exactly brimming with passion over strive's gameplay
>game is not shiny and new anymore

>>533450628
no but its arcsys so itll be talked about anyway

Dumb covid era blaznigger (who was still in his diapers when BB was alive lmao) throwing a fit

>>533453156
throw being an instant wallbreak is gay as fuck though

>>533451112
There could end up being an arcsys general if tokon is popular enough that people who haven't played strive want to a non-tag fighter

>>533453156
are you taking pictures of your own tweets like how baikenfartsniffer would

playing unika as a a zoner is fun
but damn are her buttoms slow

>>533453156
He's objectively correct here even if he is a nigger

>>533453156
crying about shit mechanics while defending mvc2 infinites is wild behavior

>>533446710
So with Strive 3v3, I'm pretty sure there was kinda some strategy with who you have out at what amount of health due to guts. I'm concerned that characters won't have any changes to how much damage they take/health they have due to the one health bar which removes character identity and an avenue to balance them.

>>533453308
Isnt it corner only though?

>>533453156
It's just a game son.

>>533453156
I hate this guy and that other zoomer AERODAT so much. Theyre the equivalent of high school know-it-alls who think theyre too smart or good for everyone else. Yes I think Blazblue is the best game evar, no I wasnt alive when BBCT came out and only played it when rollback came in, yes Ill be a retarded fucking faggot about it.

>>533453156
This nigga is really gonna be seething about arcsys not pandering to his little zoomer blazblue clique while still playing and accepting gbfvs for some reason, for eternity lol.

>>533453156
at this point i give up, the modernizing of fgs cannot be fought. As long as they dont make it so easy for newcomers that they lose any identity and skill expression... i am fine with it.

>>533455990
Is there a problem with thinking a game is the best of its genre even if you only discovered it some time after its release?

>>533460370
Yeah

>>533460534
Incorrect. That's proof a game is timeless.

>>533460370
yes because it means you didn't have the foresight to play it sooner

jack-o rimjobs

do you think I-No would do cbt?

>>533460370
There isnt, but fags like him are so obnoxious. Its actually counterproductive to what him and his clique allegedly wants to happen (more people playing BB) when in reality they just want to feel special. These zoomers want to play an old game but then want to ban Carl fucking Clover

>>533459907
>the modernizing of fgs cannot be fought.
What is this even suppsoed to mean at this point? The genre is so dated it's like 12-5 years behind the times.

So what does she actually do thats different from other characters?

want to pump her bussy in the evo hotel

>>533463937
making the game easy.

>>533462142
I know the guy in the screenshot, like most Blazblue players, was very against the idea of banning Carl.

>>533464631
Releasing a character with zero sex appeal is pretty revolutionary for the genre ngl

>>533464631
Her 320 damage wall to wall combos start from normals that are longer range, more plus and more disjointed than the other characters that do 320 damage combos that don't go wall to wall

can a br play +r?

Actually this reminds me of that whole thing that happened some years ago when the Xrd va for Ram stepped down to let a black woman voice her

These people love to put targets on their backs then cant take the heat. I actually like BB warts and all from all the way back Calamity Trigger, which is lucky because if I havent played any if the games and my 1st exposure is either this nog or Killakobes I wouldve skipped on the games out of spite

wait a second...why is arc going back on what made strive successful with tokon? if it's not easy and accessible like strive than they won't make as much money with tokon

UNIKA LOVE!!!!

But he was against the Carl ban

>>533499314
His entire thing is he also jerks off the Nu-BB community as a "really good community ackshually" compared to Strivers which to be fair, the bar is in hell, but to pretend that group doesnt have its own issues that make them insufferable in a different way is equally stupid.

Fighting games as a genre ebb and flow. Also, thank the Cannon brothers for the last 10+ years adding new people with their push for simplicity. Once 2XKO comes out and bombs, their opinions will be properly discarded for a while and the genre will enter a new era of rising complexity, perhaps with inputs tailored for digital inputs this time rather than analog. Experimentation is what makes the genre worth continuing to play after like 30 years.

>>533505068
what does being tailored for digital inputs mean
am i gonna have to play ddr on a hitbox to do supers

I really hope that the granblue/tokon "motionless input only get a small damage decrease" design stays out of gg/bb.

>>533475480
Its awful, just like that art

>>533302194
miyauchi finna hit niggas with those nasty ky shockstate mix

>>533508624
Something like a 462 input since it would require far less effort and naturally be faster than other control schemes for reasons. There could be an input on hitbox that's as rewarding as a DP on stick that just hasn't been tossed around because of people playing it safe with inputs and staying on the beaten path.

any good morning strivers up for a lobby?

>>533514727

>>533524417
I-No is stunned, this is due to her being hit/counterhit repeatedly in a short amount of time. Basically a punishment for shit defense so you can't just mash until it eventually works.
Leo is performing a Blitz Attack (costs 25 meter and has different levels of charge based on how long you hold it down for), normally this can reject (cause the attacker to go into a state where they can't do anything besides blitz) moves and itself be rejected by an opponent's blitz shield. However I-No is stunned so she can't do anything. Blitz Attack will steal some of I-No's burst which means she won't be able to burst out of the start of Leo's next combo. Which he will be able to start because max charge Blitz Attack causes the opponent to go into a crumple state.
Basically I-No fucked up handling Leo's offense and the Leo is capitalizing on it as much as possible.

>>533525509

>>533532839
i'm watching and it looks way slower than fighterz. Honestly it looks very similar to strive

>>533532839
jokes on him. it's a reskinned granblue!

lmaoooo this shit is just strive 2 with all the flaws ironed out and MORE accessibility. 2xko is way WAY faster

I can't wait till they announce lucy and the balance patch that starts after evo ends. I wonder what non-predictable thing they will announce

they should put bridget in tokon

I can't believe people convinced themselves Nen Impact would be good

>>533546968
Overpriced and dogshit netcode. If it was cheap and had good netcode it would be fine. Idk how good/bad the balance is but the visuals are not amazing but lowering the price would make that less of an issue.

>>533542859
no one did though
it got 180 players on launch

>>533532839
He keeps saying shit like that when its obviously just 80% BBTAG, 10% GGST and 10% GBVS. Honestly the stage trabsitions doesnt even last long, what really irks me is the combo limit

>>533547598
>costumes or skin DLC announced
delusional, the game is 4 years old no one would give a fucking shit about this and it would be another fucking waste of development for a game with dogshit lobbies. Everyone mods Strive anyway.
>s5 announced
lmao, I'm certain s4 was released last month for miyauchi
>ranked mode is badly implemented
Literally every single individual that has ever touched Strive knows it will the be case. There isn't a single thing in this game that wasn't broken at some point. We got a YRC bug that lasted 2 months.
>patch is last week of august

Costumes/skins were confirmed during the Anime Expo panel (I think someone mentioned Adam Smasher Potemkin as an example not sure if he will actually get that as a skin and also not sure if that is for this update in particular).

But everything else yeah not too optimistic lol.

>>533549992
Yes, I also browse /v/.

Axl low status?

>>533542859
I think it's alright desu. My only gripe with it is the roster size compared to umvc3 and the datamined dlc isn't helping that (another vacuum character instead of shoot or knuckle). I hope the rollback fix patch doesn't come out until september lol.

Why isn't /OurQueen/ UmiGOAT playing this evo?

Very true actually. I tried getting info on Asuka's matchups and his page is literally empty apart from some characters like VS Bridget or VS Por
Doesn't help that trying to do the reverse gives no results either because Asuka is a rare and difficult to analyze matchup for pretty much everyone. All i can really do is watch GGST High Level Replays and try to take my own conclusions

Hes a nigger

Pools is so fucking weird. How did this dude who can't do the basic combo hardstuck f10s can do think he was going to get anywhere in this tournament.

>>533576701
he just tryna have fun?

is tatuma the only jap who shows up to this shit anymore

>>533576701
Its pools anon. There are dabblers trying to maximize their entrance fee. I would join CotW even if I havent played an hour of that game just to see where it goes if I were at Evo

>>533576879
think jiro and daru are there two

>>533576701
It's like 225 for entrance fee and 10 to enter per game. Might as well since there's nothing else for a bunch of nerds/autists to do in vegas.

>HC player
>Looks like a troll from warcraft brought into the real world
I don't know what it is with HC players and being particularly ugly as fuck but I think it's really symbolic.

>>533578369
the unika player is a million times uglier though

Brisket on the screen!!!! :3

Super late reply cause I hadn't played in a couple days, but I just hopped into training today and I literally cannot do 9214, even trying to spin all the way around with 963214 doesn't work for me, I can't even get it once, tried to even do it on analog for a cleaner and faster spin and I just can't get it.
I did get manage to get 2147 to work though, timing is weird cause you have to hold 7 for a second to jump, but I could probably work with it with practice.
But yeah the 9214 input just doesn't even make sense no matter how many videos I watch, I think its physically impossible for me.

>>533579889
cant you just do 2147
9214 sounds like a meme

>>533578369
You just ignore the ones that don't suit your fanfiction.

Axl players such fucking tardlords I swear.

>>533580428
Supposedly 2147 loses offense because you jump away.
While doing more practicing though I realize its all pretty dumb because you can tap 8 during blockstun of cS to buffer a jump and then just input the regular 214, its a thousand times easier than the other two though I guess if I wanted to do a 50/50 out of the blue I'd go for the 2147.

Gonna take a 30 long minute piss and then finna make a lobby

i stand by this

>>533583760
Some of these would be good, like reverting Sol 5K or keeping Zato in the cuck cage

>>533583925
Disgusting Sol faggot run directly into traffic

>>533583760
>lucy is trash (setplay)
you know your game is dogshit when being a setplay character means they suck

>>533583760
i just want more poses in figure mode...

>>533584419
Yas sister!!!! I love singleplayer games!!! I love player expressing all over them!!!

>>533584591
imagine being so bad at fighting games you think blocking setplay is impossible so you call it a single player game

>>533584659
We agree! Coin flips take skill and practice to block!!!

>>533584762
>unironically thinking fighting games involve coin flips
oh you poor little faggot

venom will finally be playable

>>533584858
>thinks they don't

>>533585157
you could argue that grapplers force 50/50s, but even that is not comparable to a coin flip, you can't read a coin, you can read a human.
if you try to apply that to anything besides grapplers though i'm just going to laugh at you and call you a faggot again

>>533585397
grapplers inherently skew the game far more and force way more disgusting 50/50s when good than setplay characters do

does anybody want a new thread

/xrdmain

>>533583925
I don't get wtf you guys want them to do with Zato, you complain he's shit yet don't want buffs??

>>533585679
I will fight to death before I let corporations censor and take away my right to look at fat anime girls

>>533585816
I don't complain he's shit I think he deserves to be trash because when he's strong he's nearly as toxic as HC is

>>533585816
most people don't want zato to be good
that shit was so ass

It is the best new fighting game in many years, that's just not saying much.
