SLASHED:
>>532933681
the balance patch and lucy will save this general
Where's the guy with the lobby at
>>533588156The combination of new character + new balance + ranked mode + Tokon collateral boost will unironically push more people to start playing again. Also no DiddySho at Evo so there wont be any ugly troons shitting the whole viewing experience. Maybe except Razzo but Im betting against him
finna blackmail the competition and win evo
tfw no strive blackmail gf (male)
Tokon actually looks cool as fuck
>>533593832Kappachino disagrees.
Godammit i can't stream snipe everyone's watching EVO
>>533594072Kappachino will continue to seethe until the end of time but fail to play fighting games they claim they like any longer than a week
>>533594072Those guys convinced themselves they loved street fighter 6 and then hated street fighter 6 in a 3 day span
>>533593832it looks like it fixes a lot of problems I have with Strive, but there's still a lot of disappointing modern game-isms and I'm going to wait to see how restricted the combo system and setups are before I get excited

this schizo(i love you) is the only whose opinion about evo i care about.
I know I'm not going to like tokon as much as strive
>>533597294tokon seems like it will follow the granblue mold with babyshit autocombos which kill any skill expressions.
>b-but you can optimizeno, you cant.
Autocombos will literally be optimal.
>>533597294Same just now that I've learn combo limit is similar to granblue.
It just feels so restrictive and limited, it doesn't affect much in midscreen but in the corner it really looks like you have tobalways flowcharting the most optimal combo in order to not have the opponent just autotech like you dropped your inputs.
Gravity feels so much more intuitive, after playing GG titles especially.
>>533598295This reminds me that Venom, Ram and Gio all have white skins but Nago doesn't
>>533602271gio doesn't have any either.
>>533593832tag fighters inherently can't be cool

>>533606241I'll play but don't expect much
at least tokon won't have a big body meta
>>533606521Anon don't make me post the peanut butter complexion nagoriyuki sol comparison. That is NOT white.
>>533598295https://x.com/dragonfgc1/status/1951455666876604457
Apparently, the combo limit gets extended when you call assists and you can get longer combos if you continue the juggle grounded, so staircase combos seem like the way to go
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *faints*
>>533602271Ram ain't black in the first place
>>533620567Daru really into dommes. Makes me wonder why LK doesnt like I-no
>>533620567this girly isn't attractive at all
>>533621380Daru is into dominant women, LK is what they call a "soft boy," someone who likes mature women but not necessarily dominant so he likes Millia but not I-no. Also he already mentioned the reason why he doesnt like I-no, he doesnt like hoverdash characters.
hello I am coming back after quitting like a year+ ago
have they removed wild assault yet
>>533605516Wrong. Combo limits are lame as fuck tho
>>533627521they say they will next patch
>TheSphereHunter cosplaying I-No
My favorite character has been ruined and contaminated D:
>>533628794this already happened like a decade ago
>Tokon's wall system doesn't circle around like Strive
strive really was just a shitty beta
>>533628907But a decade ago troons weren't cosplaying her. it was just regular gays (non-lgbtq+ internet fags)
>>533627815Thats a maxishillian disinfo. Him calling it combo limit is so bullshit. Its just hitstun deterioration.
https://x.com/dragonfgc1/status/1951455666876604457
when are they going to make strive air dashes viable?
Token and new fighters in general made me retire from fighting games and that's not a bad thing. Now I have more time for the games I missed out. And I still watch fighting games from the sideline and enjoy them as a viewer
>>533628794>>533628907>>533629340don't you guys remember that one fat tranny with the glasses?
>>533629340by "a decade ago" I meant "last year"
>>533630307I didn't watch evo last year
I have severe depression and forcing myself to do anything feels like ripping out nails but playing I-No makes me happy
remember when depression was cool? now everyone is all about autism. weird world we're living in.
>>533633602You'll have to refresh my memory on depression being "cool". Was that apart of the emo phase during the 00s or something?
>autismNo idea what you mean about this either. All fighting are easy mode now. No "autism" required like the old games wanting you to spend hundreds of hours in the training mode to even be decent.
this dood really took a post about 'tism and tried to make it into old good new bad
>>533638970Old games were shit I prefer the non autistic modern games because I don't have time to spend hundreds of hours labbing. Not to mention the garbage like old SNK games being stiff fighters. I can't imagine playing that trash. And the autistic "mahvel" games with no neutral and all turn your brain off. And lets not talk about Blazblue. Now where are going to take this?

he thought he deep diving into the usual and it backfired lmao
Every time I read a striver post praising the neutral I hear steady aim sound effects and see beyblade flash before my eyes
>>533593832i really dislike the characters and that's the most important factor for playing a game long term. I can't dedicate years of my life grinding it if i dislike the source ip and everyone on screen. Sad times are coming

It's hilarious how much misinformation or outright wrong shit gets spread out of Max simply because he's a dumbass
It happens every time
>>533643701I can forgive simping if a girl is really beautiful(up to a point) but holy fuck, it's pathetic seeing people simp for ugly roasties.
>>533642002Do you just hate spandex designs in general? GG character archetypes aren't that different from how comic book characters are written
>>533643729>It's hilarious how much misinformation or outright wrong shit gets spread out of Max simply because he's a dumbasslike?
Havent watched his video yet.
>>533643729Dude is actually below average player at this point and giving him coverage access is on par with doing same to random ass eceleb who never even touched fighting game lmao. Id argue its even worse because he for some reason thinks he knows what hes talking about while smelling own farts.
>>533643729#buffLeoWhitefang
>>533643910nta but he said some retarded bullshit about combo system in tokon and after seeing dev footage of devs who know what they are doing he backtracked everything and said he feels stupid kek
>>533643910https://files.catbox.moe/d5cuid.webm
lol
>>533643832actually yes, it looks terrible, samey, and it's cop out for not having to design cool outfits. It's really fucking lazy. That and masks.
Rogue and gambit are the only semi decent looking characters cause they wear a fucking jacket. It's incredible how uninspired this shit is
>>533644678I think Storm looks good...
>>533643910He says theres a hard combo limit in Tokon ala Granblue because the combo drops when the red bar under the combo counter fills up. Its literally just a reverse hitstun deterioration tracker.
>>533644609why do strivers hate air combat?
I don't even play soive btw, I'm an xrd player, I'm also stunned by how this game's playerbase is 75% broke ass slavs on toasters who cannot even run the game on 60fps consistently
>>533648414Because they are bunch of fat troons and nigcels.
>>533648421Why do you play the only game without ABA?
>>533644609uh wtf
i will now play your game arcsys!

is everything except top 8 today?
>>533657216lesbian sex with punk jacko
is it normal that i cannot appreciate the skill gap between me and top players?
People always glaze these players like "huuuur x is phenomenal never saw such a x player" then i watch their matches and it's like every celestial player ever, then i ask them for games and sure they win but it's something like 10-20 at worst and it's like i am playing against a totally normal player, maybe a bit more solid and never asleep at the will.
Maybe i'm affected by severe dunning kruger but i really don't fucking see this HUGE skill disparity
>>533649035I don't care about aba I just like gooning to vinnegal, it's that simple
>>533659847Because the overall skill ceiling isn't that high in Strive by design. There's no difference between a floor 10 player and a top player.
>>533659847That's the Mahjong design they were going for
>>533660835>it's that simplesimple as
>>533643729im starting to think his fanbase is half bots.
When anything marvel or fightan related is posted half the comments are just
>YOOOOO DOOD i wonder what @maxmillian thinks of this
>>533664013Any big youtube "personality" has a pretty significant bot audience. It's in Youtube's favor to artificially increase view counts because that type of metric is often self-fulfilling
>>533659847It's Strive, play a real game and you can see a skill difference between you and top players.
>>533659847are you 2k+ elo?
it's unfathomable to go 10-20 against someone below that range, and if you're above that range then you should take some adderall and go to events
>>533671005then you're embellishing your win rate. if you were going 1:2 against 2.2k elo players you'd shoot up past 1800, and be good enough to drop few games against other 1800s
t. spent 2~ years in that range and rarely got games off top 10 players
>>533671407don't know what to tell you, i play sets with people getting into top8 in eu tournaments and that's the win ratio i get on average. Maybe they are worse than na players

the choker faggot won tho
>>533681346my issue is more with wifiniggers than SA...
high ping you can get used(will have to focus more on reads tho) but spikes make the game unbearable.
Genuine question but why the uptick in transgendered individuals and why do so many LGBT people play strive or anime in general?

>>533687145>gold enters match>gold leaves match with a winI hate this fat fuck
>>533682182anime has always been autism central
autistic incels+no pussy+exposition to waifus and goon material non stop = some develops the weird desire of wanting TO BE the waifu, the goon material, and from there it all spirals downwards. Why do you think so many trannies go into porn?
>>533688304So porn addiction + AGP? Interesting. Are there papers/studies talking about this phenomenon?
Also will Lordknight job today?
How do you think they will change the three mechanics they said they would in the developers backyard (Guard Crush, Wild Assault, and RISC) and do you think we will get any big universal changes for season 5?
this dude is in LK's head
LK choking a mirror might be a metaphor for his whole carreer.
They don't call him Choke Knight for nothing.
Unc absolutely doesn't still got it.
>>533688970for gc, keeping absolute guard to buffer reversals safely. Burst and yrc available
for risc they will probably make it deplay faster, moves removes bigger chunks, stuff like that
for wa i have no fucking idea. Honestly i think they should remove orange and white altogether
>>533689361Jobber but fr what happened
>>533689485He choked game 1 and it threw him off for the whole set.
>>533688970can input queue after guard crush
non-cali people might not know but bigwil is actually good
>>533689443>GCSo it will just remove throw protection for better strike/throw.
>RISCI hope they actually lower the damage in this game but this is a good step in the right direction.
>Wild assaultYeah I also don't know. The developer's backyard says:
"Revise the properties of Wild Assault::The plan is to reduce the utility and dependency on Wild Assault"
Idk how exactly they would do that. Also is WWA that good? I feel like OWA is the biggest offender.
>>533689892>>GC>So it will just remove throw protection for better strike/throwthat they will never do. Removing the throw protection is the purpose of the whole mechanic
>>533690048No, I mean that if it has absolute guard and has burst and YRC available that guard crush will be just to remove throw protection, not that throw proection should be added to guard crush.
>>533690329yeah right. I misread
Is Chipp still good in Strive?
>>533691338ggs
nice to see you around
>>533691443he's decent
he got what was probably the coolest new move of the base cast too if you played before rope was in
>>533691606Yeah I played before rope was in. I left shortly after Wild Assault was added
wow that last round from LK was sad
If this Faust wasn't already up two games that drop would've been heartbreaking
>>533691443summit got third at evo japan a few months ago
>misinput tk.MMM
>die
that's him. he's me
>>533692262Nice. He was the player I watched the most for Chipp tech even if I could only do like a quarter of what he could. Marvelo is the only other high level Chipp I know.
We are heading towards an all Faust top 8
pot deserves to win this
look how hard hes working
>>533693164who put ino there bitch thinks shes on the team
is flick really that strong in this MU
>>533676503Yeah but they're not guilty gear related are they
>>533693164I wonder how arcsys feels about none of this season's dlc being here
>>533693609dizzy and venom are bad on purpose and you won't convince me otherwise
not sure about unika
>>533693164Where did all the honest Ky players go? Also I thought Slayer was supposed to be good?
based faust gatekeeping p*temkin
that potemkin was literally mashing and he almost won
good set for pool jobbers
could tell the faust player knows what he's doing but had crazy nerves. drops, misinputs, playing super safe
>>533694000>Also I thought Slayer was supposed to be good?Why did you think that? Because scrubs complain about him?
>>533674714pools has been pretty good but still my heart still blazing
I would like to strive with (you)
>>533693671I feel like people who would compete in tournaments would rather pick another character over Unika even though she isn't bad and other people stick with worse characters but I can't articulate why.
Surprised by no Sin, Unika or Slayer
>>533693164You quad niggers perma seethe about sin, slayer and Leo yet here we are, explain yourselves
>>533693164No May or Sin is shocking ngl.
>>533694000Ky lacks explosiveness/is too honest (for strive) I'm guessing but slayer I am also surprised.
Someone needs to introduce Jack to looksmaxxing.
>>533694202Yeah. Also I assumed he would be top tier like his previous iteration.
>>533691445good to see some familiar faces too; haven't been playing for a while but I'll play more when ranked is out (I don't care about rank I just want real match making)
>>533694000nice trips
the season 4 nerfs were not a meme despite what /ggg/ might tell you. he actually has inconsistent MUs
yata lost to marvelo's chipp 2-3 so we almost had a slayer in winners
>>533693164>millia nowhere to be seen>ino top pickedcan we finally put it to rest now that millia is dogshit awful and that ino really isnt that bad?
jack looks like an ugly bastard from a doujin
jack may have the skin of a mummy but he's pretty good at happy chaos
>being a chipp player in a potemkin meta

haha soivers still playing their dead game??? lmaoooo
who marvel tokon SOVL here?
>>533696820I'm going to play both
>>533696820I'll definitely pick it up. I've been getting the itch to play a fighting game again and everything I've seen of Project L has been awful
>>533696820>literally called fighting sovlskino
>>533697041How many years for absolutely fuck all? What a disappointment. Remember to buy your $500 Ahri skin so we get (minor) updates.
>>533696820for me it's both
>>533697041I was hyped for Project L until I played the first public alpha.
>>533697338Thought they might of had something, but that first gameplay footage makes everything look so floaty and slow. Nearly a decade of development for like 8 characters and a handshake.

>>533700614Pot has been top 1 for at least 8 months.
>>533700614Yes he is one of the best characters in the game (or even the best character in the game).
>>533700614>Did they buff Pot to the moon?Yes, at the start of season 4 they gave him a bunch of buffs when they took his karas away. Then they gave him his karas back anyway

WHAT THE FUCK WAS ARCSYS THINKING!
>>533703189legacy faust player and code monkey that they hired to do strive's netcode
after his contract he said that their work environment is toxic for gaijin and that he wouldn't be working with them agian
>>533703396gajin always say japanese work culture is toxic, but I think they simply lack a work ethic. i heard the same thing years ago with some indie devs teaming up with sega.
>>533703396Grim.
Also what was the problem between Aboii and Juno?
>>533703814A controller got disconnected and one of them had a stock taken away as punishment.
>>533703396Didnt they hire Zinac for that? Also no his contract expired and they never contacted him back. Zinac never fell out with ArcSys but he did express (in deleted tweets) that he shouldve spent more time with Daisuke because he was his idol but he never did
>>533703684Nah man, japanese work culture is.
>crunch today,crunch tomorrow, CRUNCH FOREVAAAAHNo one wants to leave their house 8AM and return 10PM every day.
little known fact, but LK actually did the rollback implementation for bbcf
>>533704128wait shit zinac you're right
wrong z name
When did Ino become top tier?

>>533705717Razzo won't let him hit if he doesn't make top 8
>>533704306and that's where i think the lack of work ethic comes from. you assume it's all crunch but they really just take pride in their work. it's more than just a paycheck to them.
nice to see hotashi still mashes 2S at midscreen like it's season 1
>>533705863At the end of the day, people just want to get their money and go on with your lives.
Unless you are on a contract where you get part of the company shares... yeah you are being made a fool of.
>>533705863In Japan it's acceptable to fall asleep at your desk because it means you've been neglecting basic physical health in favor of your job.
They have that boomer mentality where everyone is expected to sacrifice for the good of the company. Probably have good pensions, at least, just like boomers did.
>Hotashi seething
Holy kek
>>533705863There's a huge difference between taking pride in your work and just plain being taken advantage of by a company.
>Nago lost but Johnny won
Not sure how to feel
Did Hotashi just get 0-3'd
Johnny is so fucking broken
>>533706206Yep. Hotashi and Lordknight jobbed. It really is over.
>>533706245What the fuck was Arcsys thinking with johnny and pot?
AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>533706261Is he still sponsored by Charlie? Dude must be regretting that investment.
>Top Ram player literally has "reddit" in his tag/name
>>533706818This is the reddit game so it fits.
>>533707237reddit hates strive THOUGH
>>533707298I thought reddit loves strive but none of them would ever actually play the game
>>533707404no they hate it
it gives me some validation that even hoetashi cant block johnny overheads
>>533707982Doesn't have a true unfuzzyable high low 50/50?
GOD PRECHO IS SO FUCKING HOT
I WANNA PLAP THE PRECHUSSYYYYYYY
>>533707595only those krappachino retards
>block one (1) attack from GL
>lose match
Daru has lost so much fucking weight it's crazy
it feels weird to see pot and goldlewis in evo top 24 winners after all these years
>>533708370no one else on reddit has played it for more than an hour
the gg sub doesnt count
god i wanna fuck precho so badly. I'm gonna ask xir for sets when xir comes home and see if one thing leads to another knowhatimsayin
finna get balls deep in da prechussy
>>533708785total bigbody victory
>>533708785goldlewis has always been broken people just didn't know how to play him
>>533708841Unironically r/fighters have played it far more than Kappa since Kappa is just streamboars and armchair theorists
guys i think daru is broken
>>533709517i'm broken too, but i still have hope that i meet a girl who can fix me one day
Just imagine being Hotashi
>fat ugly tranny chaser
>managed to gain relevancy and decent results in a niche anime game by playing the most fraudulent ass gimmick robbery character possible
>still never won much and got washed by Lost Soul all his carreer who also was a better Elphelt
>switch to strive when it comes out and play the game 18hours a day because he's a jobless autist
>picks AGAIN the most fraudulent robbery top tier in the game Nagoriyuki
>gets absolutely raped by Punk, a fucking jive player on his own genre
>somehow frauds out a frosty win with his carried top1 char and boast about it endlessly
>never won anything afterwards despite entering absolutely everything in NA
>3 years later gets 3-0 at evo by a way more fair top tier while still playing his nigger overbuffed toon and seethe about it post match
>also had to flip burgers because his team dropped him
If I was christian I would honestly feel pitiful for him but complaining about every single character that he doesn't play since the game released despite playing top tier all his life makes me think he deserves his fate.
>>533710052kek i completely forgot about him working at mickey ds
>>533710158At 34 years old? Damn I actually feel sad. Don't rely on eat sports as your primary income, kids.
>>533710052how is he so bad at this game when he used to do this for a living
>>533710331carried, in the truest sense of the word
>>533710052I really don't think he's ugly, just fat. If he worked out he'd be doing way better than Razzo.
How you do feel good about yourself winning with this overpowered comedy toon goldlewis.
>>533710641GL I-no is a 50-50 matchup. Just look at the past ten minutes of the stream
>>533710331he stopped playing because he thought he was too good to play or practice
then he fell off completely
>>533710773Daru is not a fair point of comparison.
>>533710052i relate a lot to hotashi that's why i can't hate him
we both are 35 years old jobless narcissistic autists with negative charisma and with no future that put too much time into meaningless shit without even managing to be that good at it.
My taste in trannies is more refined tho, i will never fuck umisho and razzo. Only the prechussy is passable in the strive community, otherwise i stick to ashemaletube.com
oh and i'm white, but he isn't a real nigga either
>>533710052Johnny is not less cheap than Nago this patch but fuck hotashi anyway
>>533710892>ashemaletubeBro? coomer.su exists
>>533710052>by a way more fair top tierlol
bro I hate nago but Johnny is way more cheap this patch
>>533709517Daru is an outlier. Like most character specialists, theyre always exceptions
How did they even come up with goldlewis. They must have sent one of the devs to get a lobotomy and then told him to design a toon for 5 year olds to play.
canโt have a strive top 32 without a trans mirror
>>533710052Moist dropped him? I thought he was still there last 6 or so months ago
>>533711518To be fair he was garbage tier on release. Katano just loves big bodies. Any game where big bodies are good will give a frustrating experience. Even other modern fighting games know this and have actively avoided making them good
i thought these were both ugly foids but it's just a generous camera angle that hides the masculine cheekbones
>>533711554Moist went bankrupt paying for Hotashi's PrEp.
>>533711554Moist restructured with another team so I guess someone had the idea to cut off the fat
Did someone notable have sex with Aneema that name sound vaguely familiar to me
>>533712043Your ass is fat
>>533712121I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU
>>533712121That's going in the google doc.
>>533711554Liquipedia says he was dropped on Jan 17th, 2025.
https://liquipedia.net/fighters/Hotashi
>>533712043>>533712121>>533712217>>533712228I don't get it. Explain?
>>533712121Why is everyone replying to this i don't get it
>>533712428>I don't get it. Explain?The best strive player in NA got permabanned from the scene because he tried to smash trannies by getting drunk and saying he loved them during the traditional post-major orgies.
>>533712628Oh, TempestNYC. Anyone know what he is up to now or did he just log off forever?
>>533710052Hotashi is a fat sperg who lurked here and is on a record saying shit like "lgbt is a mental illness" lmao. Him becoming tranny chaser spamming trans rights is another eternal classic of faggots having stockholm syndrome.
>>533712885>is on a record saying shit like "lgbt is a mental illness"proofs? this seems like it would ruin his career if it got out now
>>533712885Any screenshots of him posting here? The only other fgc player I know who was on 4chan was Broski.
Why no sins in top 24? I thought he was broken now.
>>533713340Im pretty sure Jiyuna used to spend his time here around s1-s2
>>533713434Sneed did not attend.
>>533713340>>533713450Jiyuna was a /jp/ tripfag. I think that shitpost copypasta about uneven mirror matches was originally his.
>>533713434None of the good ones showed up
>>533713450Interesting. How do people figure this out? Do they use a tripcode (like Broski) or is there something else you can recognize?
>>533713705Hotashi used to have /ggg/ open off-camera while streaming. He also used to post lobbies here in season 1.
He stopped hanging out with us when he started banging Razzo.
>>533713450kek no way hes too old for that
he played melty on /jp/ like 20 years ago and thats it
>>533713705For Hotashi he would literally play in lobbies here
Pot vs Sol
Johnny vs Ram
Leo vs Johnny
Ino vs Goldlewis
losers
Goldlewis vs ABA
Nago vs Ino
Chipp vs Baiken
Jacko vs Goldlewis
Goldlewis vs Chipp
Happy Chaos vs May
Bridget vs Elphelt
Happy Chaos vs Johnny
do you think hotashi noticed my rants?
>>533713281Discord calls and shit. Im a knower and I played with a lot of spergs from fgg and gens here overall through years. Hotashi wasnt just browsing and posting GG gens. Still remember when Baron smoked that fag in BB he had mental breakdown kek. Hes lucky no one recorded anything. I was wondering if anything will come out someday but it seems no one was autistic and obsessed enough about him to do that.
>>533713834He was super active in /asg/ around 2012-2015 since that was the only anime fg general and was the height of BB's life as a fighting game
>>533713864Every Goldlewis, Johnny, and HC player should be killed immediately.
any bedman in the bracket ?
>>533714664But I like leffen and jack
holy shit that's an upset
>>533716147>upset >in strive this game is literal coinflip simulator with almost non existent skill gap
>>533716147kill all potemkin players
When is the finals from now? I wanna know when to watch so I can see the character reveal if there is one
>johnny and pot flooding the bracket
I preferred nago and sol tbqhwy
>>53371650110 AM PT Sunday I think.
>>533714752brone lost to axl and faust lol
hosting a lobby once pools ends for today
What's the point of having wallbreaks when people just get positive bonus to negate the tension penalty from using their supers? Free safejump into looping more wallbreaks and postivie bonus, feels really dumb.
>>533716694pools been over
we're in top 24
>>533716713it took you over 4 years to realize that wallbreak is retarded and design wise they clearly didnt knew what the actual fuck they are doing? took you long enough. meter in strive is so potent due to limited character kit options that wall is basically glorified cutscene since due to offensive nature of game systems and meter gain you would get raped in corner anyways but now you get raped after cutscene. Simply splendid.
>>533716713Not every character has a 9 framer safejump but yeah it should have been patched out ages ago
>>533717213wallbreak isn't the problem, wallbreak giving HKD AND positive bonus is. one or the other would be fine
>>533717334You are responding to a shitposter
>>533717389of course
we're in /ggg/
>>533717334Super's that break the wall-> HKD, everything else -> positive. Would this be good?
Also let's go redditman.
>>533717334>wallbreak isn't the problemspeak for yourself, anything that takes me out of the gameplay is jarring and doesn't belong in a fighting game, this includes cutscene supers and counterhit slowdown
>>533717726play divekick you stupid dork
Daru will win Evo. He said this is his last tournament for Strive. He's moving on to Tokon. A fitting end since he's the hardest working man for this game since day 1
There is a suprising lack of rosterfagging itt
>>533717726I like the CH slowdown but really long supers are no bueno. Strive usually does a good job with this though (compared to other games).
>>533705259i bet eskay has a secret crush for brian
>>533717874I mean theres 0 info if theres a season 5 or not. The shiny new arc fg just showed off its gameplay, the rosterfags went there. The /v/ threads for Tokon is literally 75% /co/mblrs
>>533685543"Coded" is just a politically correct way of saying "stereotype". If a character acts stereotypically in a certain way twitter retards will say "coded" instead
>>533717834Will he goon to storm like Jwong? Does he have any wishes for the roster?
>>533717874For season 5? Don't we already kind of know who the possible characters are? Think people care more about balancing the game and ranked than new content as of right now.
>>533718078He wants dominant women so Emma Frost
>>533718029I mean season 4 did about as well as prior passes going off steamcharts and we had a rosterfagging poll for future dlc. It might not be an entire pass but I expect at least a teaser for 1 or 2 characters
>>533716501>the character reveal if there is oneif you mean lucy it's already confirmed they'll be showing her
if you mean season 5 announcement i don't think that will be tomorrow but i guess it could be
>>533718029>I mean theres 0 info if theres a season 5 or not.it's unconfirmed if we're getting a full season 5 but it does seem quite likely since miyauchi said we're getting skins soon and it'd be weird to invest in that if they're cutting support
>>533718902inb4 'skins' means more overpriced alt colors.
Where can I view the bracket? Start.gg is shitting itself rn.
So if there is a Guilty Gear fighting game after Strive does Goldlewis make it or is he only popular now because of tier whoring?
>>533718078Is it finally time for Jam?
>>533717874There is no goodwill in Strive after Lucy. Legacy chars will return but be bottom 1. Then there's the aesthetic changes.
Fat Man, Little Boy, and Grooming Tranny all dropped on the series pretty recently too, so it's kind of hard to be excited about the game.
>>533719578gold is way better than answer or kum
>>533719726There was that drawing of Jam with glasses and footage of her in a really early build in strive (with supers and everything, the artstyle was really different). I am 99% sure she is going to be in season 5.
>>533719726God I hope not. Jamfags getting cucked every season is so funny.
Daru back to back and I'll cum endlessly, none of those bitches deserve it.
>>533719578goldlewis is unironically the favorite newcomer of the dev team
>>533719578I can see him not making the cut mostly because i don't think many people actually like him, they really just play him because he's top tier
I might be the only person on the planet that actually likes GL as a character, mostly because i'm an autist for cryptids
Gameplay wise to me though he's boring af
>>533719829Who are Fat Man, Little Boy, and Grooming Tranny.
>>533719726Yeah, she'll get revealed right after Makoto in SF6.
>>533719935That was confirm fake
>>533720119Tempest Bridget and UMISHO ofc
>>533720276The drawing? Damn. But the footage was real, right?
>>533720482Yea the footage was real, the drawing was fake. We "know" this because everything besides the art was taken down off of twitter posts related to the leaks.
>>5336933980 recovery + giant disjoint that makes challenging it aids + flicks every item including weight shockwave which there is no counterplay for + pushes pot out on block to a range faust cannot threaten anything from. faust at least has buttons that can play around pot even if itโs still a satan matchup idk what venom oscar and dizzy are supposed to do. the pot was basically retarded and still almost won off being a pot toddler
i can't wait for jam to button button special and lose all of her gatlings and specials.
>>533720658Who made the drawing though?
>>533720770>including weight shockwavethat's bullshit
>>533720863Fanart inserted there for engagement bait.
If Potemkin is supposedly top 1 why is there only 1 left in the tournament?
>>533720887he can also flick afro pop, which is way more ridiculous but way more niche. you just cannot do anything about weight shockwave being flicked so items are off the table in neutral unless you keep getting god luck
What the fuck was that Sol combo he was literally just hitting buttons and it worked
>>533721067Person hes playing against is low IQ.
Whatever happens in GF tomorrow at least its not this
https://x.com/TokyoDown/status/1951734089117282351
>>533721363i don't know how people have ever liked mortal kombat
you are missing grasping1 having a melty in the youtube chat
>>533721363MK is not real.
Did Nitro and Verix get knowledge checked by Johnnyโs wallbreak safejump or am I missing something
>>533721820I don't see it
>>533721756I understand its early iterations. I don't understand how it maintained its popularity though.
I do like the MK theme song though. Test Your Might. But I think that was from the old movies.
>>533721756I can't remember the last time people liked MK outside of the NRS onlys, but even NRS fans hate MK1
>>533720119Fat Man is Pot because he nukes your healthbar
Little Boy is Asuka because he's a fledgling mage compared to HC
Grooming Tranny is Goldlewis because he groomed Bridget
Also why the fuck is replying so slow?
>>533722176>Also why the fuck is replying so slow?Glad its not just me then.
UK probably tryin to crack down on something again.
I'm glad we're starting to remember again that Leo has been a broken top tier since the beginning of Strive
>>533722176>Asuka did you wake up from a coma?
this matchup is putting me to sleep
>>533722767this is strive's version of el classico
>>533722501Does his flashkick still have invul frames? Combine that with one of the best fireballs in the game and all his 50/50 cross up shit and yeah he is just a really good char.
>>533722176Asuka is mid-low tier now
>>533723563Yes, his S flashkick still gets invuln but he can't go into backturn off it any more.
If Nitro stayed loyal to Gio he would have won.
>>533724050Losing to fraudlewis doesn't count.
Ending the night with goldlewis mirror kino
>precho made it top 24
is GL really that broken? i can usually go even with him in online brackets...
>>533724386This guy needs to do more interracial with Millia
>>533725019never reply to me with this shit again
fraudlewis eyerape after leo eyerape this is gay! im going back to persona 4
Ainโt a strive evo top 8 without a trans queen
precho started playing fighting games for the first time in 2023 after watching a gekkosquirrel video and now it's evo top 8. Let that sink in
what a lame match to end on
>>533716694put up a lobby so I can cleanse this foul taste from my mouth
>>533724386Goldlewis a a bracket demon. If he doesn't run into someone who is very adept at beating GL and/or play a character that actually beats him, then they basically don't lose
all i'm gonna say is that my nigga daru better stack some fucking bodies tomorrow
striva lobby
naec
all regions welcome
580654
580654
580654
>>533725576I think he mentioned he specifically labbed against big bodies sometime after evo japan
>>533725363The whiff mash 6P "space trap" is very 23er coded
Cool, atleast the brackets arent completely cursed. Precho vs Jack means its either HC or GLD and not both. Pot being matched against Reddit is ok, I at least tolerate Reddit's Ram. Verix is the only respectable Nago
>>533725964verix's nago is pretty sick
the fact that he's actually willing to downback and think rather than chimp out and pray makes the character look cool
This top8 is fucking cursed and is also literally top tier central lmao Ram, Nago, Pot, Hc, GL, Johnny, shit's hilarious.
>>5337261864 horses of S4
3 classic top tiers
A man with a dream
>>533726115Yeah especially when Nago's 2S was still fucking broken that every Nago back then was just spamming 2S, Verix is the only one I see actually thinking about spacing
>>533726186>the only respectable players are the 2 asians and the africanHoly fuark I hate NA so fucking much, EU isn't much better.
>>5337256673/9
swapping to ft3 rules
>>533726186So Daru is the good guy and all other outcomes kind of suck
>>533726547Verix is also ok
>>533726547Daru is the main character. He already said this will be his last Evo playing Strive. He's defending EVO JP champ. The good ending is him winning. I could see another Daru vs Reddito run for GF especially since Daru was left with a bitter taste with his win at Evo JP due to a technicality
>>533726186SENEGAL MENTIONED YES!!!!!
LET'S GO SENEGAL I FUCKING LOVE SENEGAL GLORY TO BASSIROU DIOMAYE YEEEEESS SENEGAL!!!!!!!!
>>533727019You guys need this win especially after Akon screwed you guys over
>>533726186Patch so shit the day 1 twitter meta was right on the money.
>>533726547Daru is obvious good guy, dare I say /our/ hero, /our/ oldhead, /our/ coomer.
Tatuma is fine, typical japanese salary man lab monster, plays the main chara and plays dilligently.
Verix is honorary /our/ nigga by the virtue of being actual african blood and probably thought about stoning trannysho and trazzo for being freaks, I garantee it.
Redditto is a SEAscum toptier slave but honest about it and consistent competitor anyway.
Kshue and Precho are giga carried scrublords, never did shit before s4 obviously.
Aboii actual piece of shit faggot, typical Pot player, probably uses reddit, most likely seethe on private discord about muh low tier grapplers, this fat fuck winning honestly would make me quit the fucking game if pot isn't nerf tomorrow. My profile card is Pot player = carried niggers since february at least.
>>533727284I forgot to mention Jack, he plays HC, I think I don't need to elaborate further.
Just a note, historically HC consist of Leffen (most toxic fgc figure to ever live), Umisho (tranny cult leader) and TigerPop (banned) lmao.
I hope sanakan doesn't have much skeletons in his closet.
Anyone have the Leffen tweet?
>>533727712Who's the teenager HC? I bet he's into otokonoko
>universal guard crush nerfs are either a nothingburger or goldlewis and johnny get amazing compensation buffs
call it
>>533727849Poka, I think he's too young to be ever dislikeable.
I don't know if it's a coincidence but it really just westerners HC who actively try to be hated.
>>533728564Ever since HC's capabilities was unlocked by DEB I know that character was going to be used by the most insufferable players ever. Literally unlikeable function and playerbase
>>533726797Is he quitting competitive entirely or moving on to another game? Looks like he got into shape
why are the best mains for every recent dlc besides venom trannies
>>5337256673
take pity on the odd one out. come join
>>533727284Aboii flipping off the ABA player after forcing him to lose a round because of the disconnect and Pot players wonder why theyโre called faggots.
I'm enjoying Blazblue, how is your tourney going, Strivers?
>>533729812daru is carrying this tournament on his back
>>533729240Is DEB still alive? playing?
>>533729718Do they have a history or something?
/ssbg/ checking in, how'd our boi big leff do today?
>>533730634He did it because they didnโt fist bump, dunno if itโs anything beyond that
>>533730802>/ssbg/you guys still exist?
>>533729718>>533730906So the ABA doesn't fist bump so the Potemkin gives him the middle finger after the ABA has a disconnect giving the Pot a free win?
>>53373080213th. Lost to other top tiers. No footage of his run iirc.
>>533731187So why does this make the Pot player the bad guy?
>>533731251The rules should be enforced, I just think flipping the guy off when heโs clearly salty is petty. The stream chats were not happy with Aboii when it happened.
>>533714428lol
That was based
https://streamable.com/5afeba
>>533731390Not returning the fist bump is bad banners so the Pot player returned the favor.
>>533730120Unironically demoralized and 100% depressed. Trooning out was NOT the way to go.
>>533729473He's moving on to Tokon. He said so in one of his xeets before evo. Nobody deserves this evo win more than him. He was there day 1, he worked hard he never gave up, never started bullshit drama, never participated in xitter faggotry, hes just there playing and getting better
>>533731490>>533731390Theyre both very salty. The ABA player was late by 45 minutes. The Pot player out of sportsmanship let it rock. At the end of the set they just wanted to fuck off
>>533732104I appreciate him sticking with I-No even during the lean seasons.
>>533731971what happened? why did xir drop strive?
>>533732656He dropped off around early s2. He was obviously very depressed, the content he got famous for was Strive but he obviously hated Strive and he was a mid tier player at best so he tried moving on to becoming a variety streamer and that fell flat. People made fun of him after the face reveal. He tried getting back to Strive when ABA was released but he still didnt like the game. Very sad turn of events really.
>>5337296624/9
Come fight Milia, Bedman, Bridget, and beat up on Sol.
Why don't japanese transfolk play strive?
>>533732960that's pathetic not sad. xir should have stuck with strive and made a shitload of money, xir was one of the biggest strive streamer around 1k viewers daily. What a dumbass lmao
is gobou not competing at na evo?
>>533733991Trannyism is a western mindvirus. Notice how literally everywhere else, you dont see troons playing this game? Only mostly in the US and a handful in EU.
>>533734156He didnt go. The guy's still in college and travelling to Vegas is getting expensive for Japs
>>533734241>Notice how literally everywhere else, you dont see troons playing this game? Yeah, that's why I asked. There are trannies in japan tho.
>>533734097Won't know unless you try
>>533734471Ok... F2 welcome?
>>533734418The reason why Strive got popular with the gays is because of Bridget and troon personalities in the pro and content creator sphere. It isnt seen that way in Japan, also Jap trannies are actually gay homosexuals and not AGP autistics like in the West, so they arent the type to spend their time playing videogames.
Now there is ONE famous jap otokonoko model who played Strive, _OnaDo. He stopped playing iirc and he didnt even go pro, just played casually
>>533734418There are trans people everywhere. It's just most of the US Trans people are anime adjacent which is why they somehow wound up in every weeb place including strive.
>verix and tatuma are gonna have eliminate one of themselves
this fucking sucks dude. Not even gonna say who I hope loses because I'm afraid to jinx it.
>>533719578he's genuinely the only newcomer that's unironically, honestly COOL besides happy chaos
>>533735482Every strive newcomer is cool.
X/XX games newcomers(except jam and bridget) > Strive newcomers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Xrd Newcomers
>>533736250Xrd is the better game though
>>533736250>Jamsisters faces when season 5 pass is Kum/Answer/Akuma/Spawn
>>533736250answer's pretty cool i'd say
and kum's idea IS cool is just that the execution is kinda shit
>>533736250Kum is sick doe.
>>533735482HC should have never been added even though I will agree with you the idea of bending the rules (hitscan weapon) and his concept is very cool but even though he got nerfed I hate him. Goldlewis is also cool but annoying.
>>533736814Fuck no kum and answer are both complete dogshit with kum basically amounting to being a mistake that happened because daisuke wanted an old man but mori wanted a girl so he decided to make the dumbest compromise and mix the two
>>533737184No
>>533737516ur a penis sucker
>>533731458i didnt think he would sound like that
>>533737784hello newfriend
>>533737184learn to dash block against the currently most honest character in the game
>>533737516No to which part of my reply?
>>533738129I do fine against him I just don't like him that's all.
>>533737673ur a kum sucker
>>533738296The kum part
>>533736250>Strive newcomers: Nago, HC, Unika, Gio, Goldlewis, Asuka>Xrd newcomers: Kum, Elphelt, Ram, Raven, Sin, Leo, Answer, Bedman, JackoI'm not sure
Like ignoring everything beyond how vaguely "cool" they are overall, Nago is pretty cool, HC is admittedly cool in some ways but also lame in a lot of others, Goldlewis definitely isn't cool, Gio might have been but is so boring so is nothing instead, Asuka is neat but I wouldn't call him cool, and Unika is actively lame. Overall maybe 4/10 coolness? Pretty weak.
Kum is average, Elphelt is uncool, Ram is pretty cool, Raven is kinda cool, Sin is pretty lame, Leo is simultaneously a bit cool and a bit lame, Answer is really cool, Bedman is cool, JackO is really lame. There's more cool characters but also more uncool characters, maybe 6/10 average?
Neither are amazing overall but Xrd's cool characters are cooler and despite Elphelt and Jack-O bringing the average down I think it has a small advantage.
>>533736814I've been seeing more cool stuff from Kum players lately, I used to be a Kum hater but I think people got better at blocking the 5H/6K thing so they can't just loop red ball oki into kick loops and have to do more shit in neutral, and her neutral is actually kinda cool. The old guy robot also looks cool but loses a lot of points for how badly implemented the girl in a mech idea is, and it just being kinda dumb in the first place. Overall definitely not cool but not that uncool either.

>>533734623>>533725667closed, had to take care of something and never posted sorry for short lobby
>>533738515I mostly agree with these takes (except for goldlewis, and I'm predicting Lucy will be whatever so the average won't change). The whole musical girl in mech doesn't really work but Kum visually looks sick and old men in fighting games is always a plus in my book.
>>533738557What the fuck lmao.
>>533738515Finally someone who comprehends the brilliance of Answer's design
>>533738557>>533739046>not even the smelly autistic skinny white tranny like razzo I bet its just some guy saying he's trans for the free gibs and social credit because I refuse to believe he's being unironic when he says he's a woman
>>533738515Goldlewis, Asuka and ESPECIALLY Giovanna are cool with her speed and her being one of the only other pure hand to hand(with a little bit of wolf) characters, Unika taking parts of sol and ky with the way she swings and slams that fuckhuge thing of a weapon she has like sol but has direct moves and some normals from ky.
Every xrd valentine is lame as shit. Raven is negative level cool especially with the way he looked in the games pre xrd being eradicated for THAT. Leo is SUBTERRANEAN GARBAGE level cool, as seen by the people who played him in xrd(like fuckin jiyuna). Answer is the complete nothing you think giovanna is which is why this is one of rare times in the past YEAR this general or any place on the internet for that matter has talked about that fucker.
>>533739726I guess this is who Juno is dating (mentioned in the bio):
https://x.com/sunnyseele
Anyone have any info on them or even a picture?
Bridget is a Strive newcomer
>>533738954Maybe I'll come around on him eventually like Kum but I don't think so. He's too goofy and his whole shtick feels like it's simultaneously trying too hard but also afraid to take itself seriously. Kliff was a funny old guy with a bunch of jokes in his moveset, but he never felt like self-parody.
Also his design screams "Barafag homosexuals worked on this" like those spyro remake dragons
>>533739903You'd think a secret agent hand to hand fighter with a wolf spirit would be cool no matter what, so it's extra lame that Gio manages to not be.
>>533740000This is just straight with extra steps. This is a bit im sure
>>533740235>Also his design screams "Barafag homosexuals worked on this"That's every male in soive.
>>533739903Unika is definitely not cool. I agree that Strive has more interesting newcomers overall but Unika is unironically the lamest character ever in the entire series. Literal deviantart OC tier both design and gameplay wise.
>>533740402usually I donโt agree with a lot of canned gameplay design complaints but unika is legitimately the most canned, one intended way, no ingenuity character in the roster
Whoever this Juno person is they seem to be very very based
>>533739726>she/her in twitter biolmao it was literally just some nigga
>>533740235>his design screams "Barafag homosexuals worked on this"Anon what is wrong with you that you see a fully clothed fat man with a coffin played entirely seriously with zero skin or sexual undertones and you think this?
>>533741019porn addiction, many such cases
>>533738515I think Bedman? should count as a newcomer. He's practically a whole different character.
>>533740858Her gameplay being so uninteresting is what makes me the most upset because desu her visual design/lore (not that I really care about lore) is going to be boring because it was supposed to attract a large audience to the game via the anime (idk if that even worked) and she has to be simple for new players, but I wish she at least had some kind of sauce or whatever. I know strive is simple but god damn she really has nothing interesting going on for her.
>>533740896>>533740884>>533740000Its apparently a bit. Le genderswap meme zoomers do.
https://x.com/sunnyseele/status/1780364482524348430
>>533741310it's strive, every character in the roster is uninteresting
>>533740235this is the same series that had a guy nailed to a robot bed called "BEDMAN" and another wearing a headband with BAD GUY printed on it using a literal giant fucking lighter as a weapon
a giant fat fuck biker glowie swinging a literal area 51 coffin with a live alien inside and using prohibited tech as a weapon like an actual fucking minigun seems like just par for the course here
>>533741259I thought about it, and Testament for the same reason, but decided Bedman? would be cool and Testament would be lame so they'd cancel each other out anyway
>>533741259It's still the same bed from Xrd, and in that game you control the bed for pretty much everything
>>533741363I guess but like you know what I mean.
If Daisuke is no longer working on fighting games who is in charge of Strive?
Ngl I kind of miss old night raid vortex even if the new one is better,
>>533740235Ok I think we are just diametrically opposed when it comes to what is cool because gio mad dashing around the screen using her legs to beat people beat people to death is considerably cooler to me than ninja #2 but 10 times lamer than ninja #1.
>>533741772a potemkin main (Katano)
>>533741995BUSINESS NINJA!!
>>533742479Yeah like I said, 10 times lamer than chipp. I get that he has a purpose with chipp and chipp's kingdom, maybe introducing other modern ninjas, but that doesn't make him any less of a fuckin uncool dweeb compared to chipp or anyone else.
>>533741995>Gio "mad dashing around the screen" ie shuffling around on the ground pressing 2D: Cool>Answer literally flying around the screen using scroll dashes: basically just Chipp again, lame>>533742938I guess the difference is I'm thinking like 60% about gameplay and 30% about visuals and 10% other shit but you care 80% about, I guess like how cool a vague description of them sounds?
The only cool shit Gio actually has in the game is her enhanced flip kick combo shit, those are actually pretty neat. I don't think this is even a controversial opinion is it? Like "Gio's gameplay is kinda lame" is a really widespread opinion, that's why they gave her such a big change when handing out new moves.
If that was all there was to say about her then she'd have gone from really lame to maybe kinda cool when they added it, but she's also still got the really lame meter buff that turns her fucking lime green, and the fact that you can literally just delete the wolf's model and not change any of her animations and basically nothing changes and sorry she's still uncool. It would be like making Venom and then he just punches people while holding pool balls instead of using them as projectiles.
>RED could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from the source manually
I've drank the blood of Christ, yet heaven still rejects me.
>>533743542>you can literally just delete the wolf's model and not change any of her animations?
I think pot needs to get his tiny little legs broken
They should just combine Pot and Goldlewis into one uber carried faggot.
>>533746297She can kick dust with her own feet
>>533746493>>533746663The wolf is literally irrelevant, she can do those moves without it. Hell, her fS is basically just Jam's 5K > 6K animation-wise
>>533746883Might as well have been random green particles
>>533747026>She can kick dust with her own feetbeyond delusional
in the files, her wolf actually has some unused animations in her dive kick super that never get used. it's nothing really special, though
>>533746297You'd think it's supposed to be the dog's foot that has the hitbox but nope it's just a dust cloud anyway, if you delete it it makes basically just as much sense that Gio did it herself
>>533746493She's supposed to be leaning on the dog, but her weight is barely on it, and it's still not the dog attacking, if you delete it she just looks like she's leaning over kinda awkwardly
>>533746663The dog does nothing in her throw, what? It literally just watches her do it.
>>533746883Yeah, in motion these barely look off at all. She does all the attacks herself and the dog just follows her foot around.
Youtube search is useless dogshit so I can't find the video with real gameplay again but you can actually just mod the dog out https://gamebanana.com/mods/364131 and aside from her intro where she rides him barely anything changes significantly, it doesn't do anything
>>533747917Anon she is directly attacking by using the dog in sepultra like in her WA and air super and if the dog is the one kicking up the dust in her 2d with her ass up and feet behind her how is she kicking the dust? she is also directly using the dog to throw people in her throw. Hell the mod page itself shows how stupid her 2d looks without rei.
>>533747724a backflip, the stomp from the super, then a dash that reminds me of valkenhayn

>>533749254She does a big roundhouse kick and the dog follows her foot
If you remove it it just looks like she's doing a roundhouse kick, same with the uppercut swipe thing in her WA
Go look at her throw animation, the dog does literally nothing during the attack part and doesn't even touch the opponent, if you watch it extremely closely there's a tiny bit at the end where she lands on it before returning to neutral but it's barely noticeable, I've seen her throw dozens of times and never noticed that until right now when I went through it frame by frame. So I guess not literally "literally" nothing, it does actually touch one of the two characters on screen for a couple of frames, but basically nothing.
And this barely looks worse than her normal 2D's nonsensical dust hitbox, if that's the most significant impact the dog has on her entire moveset I think it's pretty inarguable that it does "basically" nothing. If you remove Goldlewis's coffin, all his Typhoons would look weird as shit, if you removed Ky's sword or Faust's scalpel none of the attacks that use those would make any sense at all. Removing Rei results in, at worst, a couple of slightly awkward animations liker her 2D. For such a large element of her design visually that's an absurd waste.

It just looks at them while she does the throw entirely by herself, then she lands on it. I'm not sure what you've been seeing but the dog is not involved in the throw at all.

>>533752186there's a surprisingly decent scene but random netplay lobbies are limited to specific hours from what I've seen. There seem to be one or two EU lobbies most nights, and there's a few on and off weekly events.
Alive but if you want to play low ping matches at all hours you might need to join a discord or something. If you can tolerate EU to EC connections then it's probably fine most of the time.
>>533739903I refuse to believe someone has such backwards nonsensical opinions
>>533750618you are genuinely just blinding yourself for the sake of your argument man. In all those moves I posted, including the 2d comparison which you posted but somehow don't see the issue with removing the wolf, it is very evident how she is directly hitting with the wolf and how removing it makes her attacks not make sense due to both the range and effects like that big ass rei sized air trail in her wild assault. Even in the moves where she is not directly hitting with the wolf it's clearly how she uses the wolf to empower herself such as with trovao and ventania
>>533712885i used to be his number one hater cause of that time he won online evo against sonic fox or some shit. he basically had peak aura for being an xrd player beating that annoying pos, but then he IMMEDIATELY went full ass kisser mode and said something "i disavow these people saying this was a win against trans rights" basically shedding any personality he had in that moment. from then on he became what i hated most, the representation of the strive community, nothing but ass kissers who give up their soul for twitter clout and esports money
>>533710892 how?
If the potemkin wins tomorrow it will be very funny
>>533733991Asian tranny are people who truly want to be a girl and only interested in fashion and make up. and the only weeb thing they like is cosplay. Modern western tranny is just mentally ill freak who think being women will help them escape their shitty life. But again they never tried to doll themselves. Just like they never try to groom themselves when they were a man. In the end they are just men in their mom's clothes. No plastic surgery, make up or whatsoever. Because they never tried.
>>533753967I think we're talking about different levels of effect here.
Yeah some of the animations look a little bit weird when you remove 50% of the models involved, but considering you're straight up removing the single most significant element of her character design they really don't look that weird, most of the actual motions still make sense because she's doing all the attacks herself and the dog is just there. If you remove it there's a big swoosh effect and the hitbox is a little bit bigger than where her hand reaches on her WA? Come on, that's fucking nothing. Again, compare it to literally any other equivalent element of a character. If you modded out Testament's bitches, every single animation they show up in would make no sense. The dog is only a bit less prominent in her design than Paracelsus with ABA but if you removed the key most of her animations completely stop making any sense at all, not just "Oh well the swoosh effect on her kick is a little awkward and the hitbox doesn't line up quite right"
Maybe if the patch notes look okay I'll reinstall Strive and install the mod to record a new video since I can't find the old one, it is legitimately kind of impressive how little she changes in motion with Rei removed. Yeah there's a little bit of jank in a couple places so you could tell something was weird, but if you didn't already know there was supposed to be a wolf there I don't think you could have guessed anything remotely close to "an entire character model that is normally with her 100% of the time has been outright removed," you'd probably just think it was a mod with a scaling issue or something. If Arcsys hadn't given her a dog for some reason, she would have 98% identical animations with just a couple small tweaks and would look perfectly fine and no one would think anything was missing.
>>533756274I want Daru to win since he is quitting strive but it would be funny if pot wins and then pot gets gutted. It would be REALLY funny if he wins and then gets unchanged or even buffed.
>>533756905what will daru's main game be?
>>533756982I think Tokon?
>>533727712ah man tiger being banned is good for my soul, that insufferable dickhead had pubes instead of hair and a retarded orbiter clique, I'm so glad he got banned trying to appease a 4/10 tranny grifter(not even a player) that has already bedded half of strive scene, he was constantly acting like he's god's gift to man and he got his comeuppance. Every day I'm vindicated a smidge more
>>533730120>>533731971>>533732656>>533732960>>533734040a bit of me feels bad for Deb, not because he was a very accomplished xrd player but because he wasn't a part of the extremely toxic tranny sex pest clique that is still allowed to run rampant in soive to this very day. but things were going well for him he had a CLG sponsorship and everything, still you could see how porn brained his trans persona was with the almost LK obsession with big boobs, nevertheless I hope things recover for him, hope he gets his act together, drops the tranny bullshit and pieces his life back because despite the fact that he opened the pandora's box that is HC he's still a (seemingly) good person in the end and wishing ill on good people is not good
a few years from now, we'll look back and say "strive was a good game"

>>533740120Technically you're not wrong. His kit is fucked and he doesn't speak, act, or move like the real Bridget at all.
>>533763924lol
I heard there was a discussion about newcomers between Xrd and Strive and all I gotta say is Xrd wins by default by just adding Ram (I hate everyone else) and Strive loses by default by having Unika (I love everyone else genuinely).
Unika is such a fucking garbage ass fanfic OC from some tranny on Ao3, not even created by Daisuke, she removes any semblance of objectivity I have towards Strive newcomers.
She is the worst character in Guilty gear history, quite simply, I don't see anyone worse, not even leopaldon, not even judgement.
>>533783031Judgement and Leopaldon are rad tho
I wouldn't mind If they added Judgement as a non canon DLC char, i think It would be cool to have another villain besides HC
>>533783031I think Unika is cool (I did not watch the anime)
>>533785715Literally no one did.
should I buy rev 2 on sale just for answer
like how jank is the training mode really
>>533786404No, don't bother.
>>533786404Yeah, they're gonna ruin strive in the next patch and everyone will start playing Xrd again for sure.
>>533726186Jack wins these
>>533786404xrd is fun, but dead. I'm posting whie sitting in an empty lobby, labbing tools suck ass, people say "oh just install 17 different mods" but that's not helpful, also at least for EU the playerbase are faggots, there's this one baiken who'll do every cheap thing in a match like mashing reversals on hit, mashing his screenshot key so that the game lags and then if you win he calls you a slur and kicks you from the lobby
>>533786769this time for sure 0 doubt
>>533659847Strive is very straightforward in gameplay, so thereโs not much to improve on once you learn how to actually play. Hope the next game has better air movement and more moves.
The patch comes in 5 days

Looks, personality and lore only of course. I'd rather not fight HC or Xrd Elphelt.
>>533789685wtf
whats your problem with bedman
>>533790201It's a fucking bed, man. Stop wasting slots on furniture. The underaged cheerleader vaguely improved things by having personality but you're still playing a sentient non-speaking bed.
>>533790423a creepy, suicidal, edgy flesh-bed
bedman (man) is great because he's a smarmy little shit and 2chan debate lord incarnate
bedman? (bed) is great because he's a breaking down freakazoid that wants to die. the layered tragedy of a tortured existence that's forced to go on is kino
also he has an explosion motif and explosions are cool

Daru is the anti Strive player.
He is a veteran with 20 years of GG.
He is a character loyalist who never once even thought about switching.
He's a pure hard worker who plays everyday, never complains and wins by simple high/lows.

Jesus fuck, I know that Strive community is absolutely dreadful, but I refuse to believe that even these disease-ridden trannies would sink so low as to root for Happy Chaos.
Poor Jack has to win more engagements and land more combos as HC to match the equivalent damage of one Goldlewis attack
>>533812168I like Strive and I root for both player to have an aneurysm and dying on stage.
>>533812168Commentators have always sucked HC's dick even when he was at his most cancerous
Remember "only Umisho can do that"?
who the FUCK are these two ugly troons?
>>533812168looking from the outside HC is pretty fun
kek nigga put on a mask
that gold player must smell terrible
What Fighting Game should I play if I want to participate in transgender orgies at locals?
Why does every FGC "girl" have awful hair? You can pinpoint them a mile away because it looks like they've just grown it out and then never attempted to style it in any way. It always looks like a frizzy mess or a greasy mop. Meanwhile you look at any real life girl and they'll have that shit looking good even on days they're never seeing anyone.
>>533813227Nobody on that stage knows what shampoo is. Except the asians.
>>533813227If you mean the trans girls? It's because they were poorly groomed men before transitioning and if you can't groom yourself as a dude how are you going to do it as a girl which requires more effort?
>>533812914Guilty Gear -STRIVE-
>>533809587Johnny's calling card is that he's a very simple and uncomplicated character with a low skill ceiling since revelator. Don't let those assholes gaslight you with MUH ZWEI KDS or MUH MIST DASH TREASURE HUNT Johnny is so fucking easy
OOGA BOOGA ME SOL OOGA BOOGA I PRESS SLASH HUEHUEHUEHUE
>>533813227unironically the patriarchy. If a man doesn't mess with his hair, nobody cares. If a woman doesn't take care of her hair, she'll face judgement.
when is -STRIVE- getting the keep yourself alive salvatore gannaci remix
This was the last time Daru would ever play Ino at Evo.
Now that she's dead in lore.

>>533814613>Kill by Sol in the story>Kill by Sol in gameKino
>>533814613Yeah, just like Zato stopped being playable after Guilty Gear X.
>>533815089He might as well be unplayable kek
>>533814613Her arcade mode has a bullshit time travel reason for her being in the next game. Before people cared about arcade modes.

Tatuma please I need you to win.
ABOII should demand that Kshue drop a round for wearing orange
Not even watching this gay ass top 8 please spam when ArcSys announces anything thank you
You should be allowed to punch your opponent in the face in real life if they choose Pot on character select.
So how exactly do people watch top 8s like this and then continue to act like Strive is a good game?
We hit the bump limit, can someone make a new thread? Already at page 8.

>>533817417sorry i'm too butthurt over daru losing
>in b4 we are very sorry we smol team ranked delayed for next year
I'm rooting for a nigger playing Johnny, honestly I think I'm the cuck in this story.
>big button characters when having to deal with a grappler
Just know that I have been claiming gigantar kai to be the most broken move in Strive since season1 and some faggots argued otherwise. I'm always right everyone suck on my cock immediatly.
