SLASHED: >>535986296

How is the patch?

I cant win

Once I get home and download her and lab her you're all on notice

Character representation in the top 100 RP

are we wining?

>>536088952
For some reason 80% of the pros love it. I don't know why. I don't know how people here will think because now they don't have most of the rage bait stuff that they can use against the game.

>>536088980
anji unplayable btw

>>536088980
source?

>>536088980
>slayer bottom 2
LOL

>>536088980
I’m too washed up for pilebunker loops
its over…

I never guess right

I did not win a single placement match.

>>536089765
I won like 3 and got placed into gold 1

>>536088748 (OP)
>>536089765
shlicking to dizzy. my pussy juice is everywhere...

>>536089342

>>536090103

>>536090103
*axe wound pus

>>536088980
source would be fantastic

>>536088952
Reception has been near unanimously positive. Happy Chaos dodged yet another bullet but pros were downplaying him the entire season with some clowns going as far as calling him midtier so it's at least understandable in this instance.

>>536088845
Because these fucking retards gave it to Sol and Leo.
Now Axl is even fucking worse, all bad character with Red are worse, same shit with Faust and Test who got especially fucked by super prc gone, eternally bottom tier.

mod that removes the cyberpunk songs from my game when? Lucy is cool but these songs feel like I'm listening to some teenager radio station.

Haven’t played in a year and ranked platinum with Axl how’d I do?
His 6k buffs seem outrageous

I will kill myself because I am bad at the video game

>>536084636
Found something better (but more difficult) off the same starter, might be able to optimize further.

Are there winstreak bonuses in Plat/Diamond?

>>536092754
ASW will lose the rights to the songs in 2027

Why did it take so long to add ranked?

>>536093602
They sincerely did not think anyone wanted it until about a year ago.

>>536093593
They only lose "I really want to stay at your house"

I HATE CYBERSLOP I HATE CYBERSLOP FUCK YOU ARCSYS FUCK YOU ARCSYS

>>536092754
could such a thing happen? there's a reason we can't buy some of the best ricing games of all times like NFSU through carbon or driver:SF digitally because of expired licences on the cars, could a similar thing happen to rucy? I remember back when dbd fucking LOST the demogorgon licence and had to stop selling the dlc

>>536093483
anyone?

>made it to Plat II out of my placement games
this is more generous than I expected considering I lost a ton on of these. I was expecting to be thrown into gold.

>>536090876
Give testament a fucking minute bro all the routes are different

Lucy won

wild assault feels like shit

>>536095425
losing your reversal is a much bigger nerf than any improvement to combos and setplay could offset

>>536095879
i dont believe in wild assault

>>536095920
It's still right there bro. Stop pretending like you ever did OD PRC

>no "who's ready for tomorrow"
you had one job

I didn't get the reversal super thing, do they refund the tension after the super is over or do they just cost a bit more now?

I cannot play this fucking game man

It's kind of fucked up that they removed super PRC solely because Potemkin was abusing it. They could've just taken away Potemkin's reversal.

Stick / leverless bros, do you use default controls or another layout?

>>536096431
supers cost 50 meter, that didn't change. you can no longer PRC to activate super invuln and keep your meter, you need 100 meter to PRC a super's invuln startup now

Lobby?

>>536096543
GL used to abuse it too because he'd stand there for a long ass time if you fully cranked it. But it sure feels like this bitching is somewhat artificial given I've seen it used maybe a dozen times in the wild.

>>536096589
scripts

>>536096589
PSD
KH
i don't remember if that's default or not

>>536097019
Stop that
>>536097085
That's default yes, thank you for responding though. Would like more answers from other anons if possible.

What am I supposed to do after anji's fish now? Seems like it just loses to everything on block

>>536096589
P S D RC
K H Dash FD

>>536096589
D
PSH
K

Why does Lucy look so smug all the time

>>536097545
What do you use the dash button for?
I would probably only use mine for drift RC, so I place it under FD I don't even have FD assigned, maybe I should look into that.
>>536097652
Keyboard?

>>536097351
it's time to finally learn how to press after minus frames my guy

>>536097689
>What do you use the dash button for?

>add good ranked mode
>game thrives
who would have thought people like seeing number go up

it seems the gameplan is to do charged 214H then super with lucy, on block or on hit

42000RP = 1800 elo

I am already addicted to grinding out these internet points bros

>>536097689
No, leverless (H42 S16). The D is just easily accessible with index between P and S so you don't need to move your hand.

>>536097876
Her ass is NOT doing math she's thinking about getting railed by Sol

I got placed in plat 2.

>>536093602
Tried really hard to Stockholm syndrome people into liking the Tower.

I came back for Ranked Mode but this game is so unfun.

>>536097876
Surely you don't press it EVERY TIME you intend to dash?

>>536096543
Making universal changes to fix a single problem character while also fucking over a bunch of mid/low tiers is the ArcSys way. See for example fullscreen burst, H DPs not being invuln etc.

>>536093445
>You carry over the not-taint state
Nice

>>536099023
yeah you just think about dashing and the game does it for you

>>536099023
surely you don't waste 2-6 extra frames double-tapping when you could use a single button press

>>536093602
Strive has no budget, all major free additions is stuff they are betatesting for Tokon, like the 3v3 was. I imagine Tokon will have very similar ranked mode.

Top 3 is HC, Pot and Chipp

>Win all my sets
Just another normal day in the life of an ANJIGAWD, silly Katano nerfs cannot contain me
>>536088980
Hey I'm in the chart, nice

>play HC ranked
>fight a dude with "HC=FT1+block" in his comment
>he leaves after one game (that he fucking won too)
>presumably blocked me too
Am I bricking my account by playing this character? Anyone here bitchmade?

>>536100260
you deserve it

>>536100260
yes, i'd one and done then block too
it's not like people would do that against every zoner it's just HC

So have Leo and Ram ACTUALLY been nerfed out of top tier this time? Every patch people think their nerfs are severe but by the end of the season everyone is calling them still top tiers.

>>536099451
That makes sense, I forget how much dashing these games have
This is my first anime fighter and I haven't played my first match yet

https://x.com/i/status/1958447366891020794
Mirria is dead

>>536088980
How did my mid tier character end up having the most players in the top 100?

How many games does ranked go to? And is there some sort of infinite rematch?

>>536101273
It's ft2

>>536101229
Because it hasn't even been a day retard

>>536100738
dash>block is a very important neutral tool, especially if your character needs to get close. It's so much faster and more consistant using a macro

>>536100260
HC is a character you play to win tournaments.

weirdly Leo still gets eisensturm 236HS if you don't cancel it from anything pointblank. Are you deranged enough to use a 10f DP with no invincibility as a meaty?

>Watched Kouhide reach Vanquisher in a single stream

Giovanna seems slightly stronger this patch, all things considered.

>>536096589
P S HS FD
K DASHMACRO D

>>536099829
BASED

>>536100473
bt.h22 into mix is legitimately gone. He's +3 afterward but so far f.s whiffs if they fd.

>>536099829
What do you think of the new 2HS, king

>>536102047
If vanquisher is anything like master rank in SF6, that should be where most competent players end up. Then you're in the altered ranked system inside vanquisher

This is bad bros. I think the patch is actually good.

>>536102649
Don't be deceived by the allure of rankedboaring.

>Anji c.S > 2HS is a 9f gap
Jesus

Johnny's nerf was too much

https://x.com/i/status/1958469966203638036
Testament is just better Millia this patch

Potemkin's nerf was too much

They gave Asuka new voice lines when he charges for some reason.

Gold 3... home...

>>536103023
stop showing me right in their face useless cS combos nigga
anyone reacts to this anyways

>>536096589
K S HS
P D
dash macro on alt, and movement on wasd

I forgot how half the cast has unbearable voicelines and Reddit personality

>>536103017
He feels dogshit to play now and I dont mean his power level meta wise. Hes more clunky than how he was at release.

>>536103606
>>536103017
get owned faggots

>>536103260
Ah yes nobody ever lands a cS combo

i hate how the match confirmation popup defaults to no

>>536103806
yes you generally dont

Ooeygooey has been labbing potential uses for the new 2hs but it's legit worse than you would've expected
Shit is not just stupid slow but you generally get pushed too far away to do shit

>>536104414
you have to be pretty frame perfect to beat a 2P using 2S after it

>>536096589
kick slash heavy
punch dash dust

I don't use any macros, dash RC is really easy to press with this layout.

uuhh what do I do after f.s 5h now?

>>536096431
Genuinely why does HPB have invul on startup, what's the point, most people are gonna be pressuring you while grounded

>>536105107
Because if you've spent 50 meter on something that only hits people jumping getting kicked in the face by someone jumping feels real bad

>>536104414
>It also no longer works in most combos
>For the very few it does work, it's not even close to optimal
This move is DEAD
>>536105018
Throw card and zone out bro
Haha

Another quality ArcSys product https://x.com/SachaDow/status/1958493532768899348

>>536102540
For most intents and purpose, don't even bother. At most it can catch someone unaware of the patch notes once or twice but the gap is too big on all the gatlings leading to 2HS

Chat, could it be? Sex appeal...?

>>536105913
i love tails

>>536101354
Thank you for spoonfeeding, I will use a dash macro then.
And thank you to all the other anons who answered
I think I will go with

P S HD RC
K D FD DASH

I will see you guys in the lowest possible rank!

>>536105913
That's a thick tail

>>536106074
>HD
*HS

>>536106074
I promise you the rightmost buttons are not comfortable to access with your pinky. Do
K S H RC
P Dash D FD(you don't need this one really)

I got placed in Diamond 1, is that good?

>>536105913
Chat, I'm gonna.... I'M GONNA...!

>>536106519
Isn't D important for throw breaks? that spot is kind of awkward for me, and it being in the corner might make it easy for me to plink into drift RC
But I will just take your advice since I am new and just try it

>>536103349
>"Shifting structural phase"
>"Altering particle flow"
>"Vincian antiphase"
>"Noarmi Theory"

This guy's just shouting nonsense to try and sound smart, he's literally me

>>536106717
>Isn't D important for throw breaks?
You don't throw break intentionally in this game, throw breaks only exist to account for situations where both players press throws at the same frame.

>>536106717
>Throw breaks
This isnt a gay game like sf or blazblue, you backdash throws like a man

Finally, ranked mode!
>first match takes 5 minutes to find and is 25ms but 5 frames rollback
ahhhh, that's some good ass online

>>536106576
It's messy, chat... It's everywhere. It's on everything.

>>536106845
Okay first of all, you're Reddit for playing the fame in English

>Everybody, even people who don't play or like Anji can tell he was nerfed
>Everybody already knows the 2HS became unusably bad
>LK can't stop fuming and saying Anji is buffed and will go out of his way to reply to anyone claiming otherwise by saying 2HS is buffed ignoring fish
Bros...
Is McMillia finally washed..?

I can't believe they shot my beautiful fish

What does it take for a match to get canceled? I just played a match that had several freezes and upwards of 10 rollback and the prompt to cancel the match never showed up. Was that a lit to make people think they made a good online?

>>536106576
>>536107056
no tail, not interested

>>536107475
mash alt-enter and see if it pops up.

>>536107302
Well you gotta understand, Anji did well into Happy Chaos and we can't have anybody being better than Happy Chaos. Last patch we had people think he wasn't even top 5 for Christ's sake!

>>536103017
Johny nerfs were justified, it allowed floor 6 players get into celestial. Have fun in gold.

>>536107302
no way, twitter trannies(the majority of strives playerbase) jump on bandwagons instead of thinking for themselves?
anjifags still have the same victim complex as 4 years ago

This game is incredibly boring and the characters are annoying. I'm going back to Street Fighter

>>536107943
Unika bros... I'm afraid...

>>536107965
Bro it's 27frames for advatange worse than needles or stagger c.S and nullified by just fd'ing on reactiona

should girls from dystopian futures be this plump?

>>536107302
>LK can't stop fuming
Anji has always made retards seethe, and in LK case he is always consistently wrong about everything, that's what makes his ass so funny

ended off at 42000, grind is easier than I thought it would be so far. You can probably climb with a negative win rate

Does Ranked have winstreak bonuses?

>>536108757
unfortunately no, I won like 5+ games in a row and got nothin

>>536108912
dix has it at 10 winstreak

>>536108224
>Not even using the purple color that fully show her plump tights
Weak

Why does Lucy call everyone a troon or whatever? Does she frequent /ggg/ or something

>>536109175
She's based

>>536103023
This shit not only was relatively possible before but those air stain pops get you 0 fucking reward anyway.
Now that super prc is gone and dizzy+venom got giga buffed Testament is the one true bottom1 left.

>>536109248
how was dizzy giga buffed? they made ice spike better but the rest of her problems are still there

>>536109248
Dizzy's buffs were even weaker than Testy tho??

theoretically speaking, could Millia fuck herself with her hair?

>>536109248
This post is made by a Ky faggot to make us Testament players appear way worse than we already do

God damn there's already ranked rage quitters.

>>536110515
Do you still get your points when they do and do they lose points

>>536096589
P S H dash
K D fd rc

Wait, so is diamond 3 higher than diamond 1? I won every single one of my placement matches and I got diamond 3

>>536107302
Don't know why he seethes so hard about Anji, Baiken wins that matchup pretty hard

I feel like placements shouldn't be allowed to put you up that high desu

>>536110835
everything before vanquisher is a tutorial

>>536110835
>good players should rape bad players for hundreds of matches
yeah ok

Is ranked character dependent? Like you could be Plat on sin but vanquisher with Ky?

>>536112158
yeh

>get matched up against the same lv234 bridget 3 times in a row
This game is fucking dead in south america, i should go back to street fighter

All those anji nerfs and they didnt remove the romhack zoom across the screen thats made him fucking annoying for years huh

the gold journey begins

>>536110948
Yes

Imagine Millia being your mom
Imagine her losing sight of you and panicking, only for you to be behind you and she accidentally bumps you with her butt, flooring you
Imagine crying, but Millia comforts you and says it's okay, she'll make it up to you tonight by taking a bath with you
Imagine that

>havent played seriously in 2 years
>Plat 2
Ok

your old ELO and ranked placement?
trying to get a sense how the distribution is

>>536114009
plat II seems to be the floor 10 equivalent

>>536114104
42000
1870

First to 2 is a horrid format

When do you stip earning more than you lose on losses

>>536114104
I'm going out tonight so I won't really have an opportunity to play until tomorrow (and am too tired from being up for patch release anyway). Do you want me to post my results in whatever thread is live then? (I'm also curious about the distribution, assuming you'll share when you eventually collect enough data)

>>536115919
this nigga thinks hes the most important person in the thread

>>536115878
Grandmaster, just like every elo system

>>536108301
>Anji has always made retards seethe
Sajam also seethes incessantly over Anji, I actually think you might be onto something...

breadly sin

Am I shadowbanned from rankings or something? My character is level 7K, but I don't show up in the character ranking for character level. I definitely have a lot of total wins, so why don't I show up at all? Hell, I just played in celestial real quick to see if I just needed to refresh my rcode or something for it to show up and still I don't appear. Funnily enough, the one thing I still show up on is survival. Anyone experience this?

>>536108301
>anji has always made retards seethe
do anji players really believe they're the high IQ ones in any match ever

Everything in strive's menu is so sloooow dude, some nigger with 600ms from africa wanted to 1v1 you? have fun waiting for him to connect so you can back out.

Sorry cant play the game you paid for due to arbitrary rules like requiring a cable for a router thats shoved inside the fucking walls

>>536116085
>this nigga thinks hes the most important person in the thread
Couldn't be further from the truth; I'm a nobody and a bum at the game.

>>536116614
bro just drill a hole?

>>536100260
No, people that rely on blocking players to avoid characters are going to get hard stuck in ranked.

>>536115919
i doubt i'll get more than a few responses, but i was mildly curious because i'm smack dab in the 50 percentile ELO wise so it's a nice middle point to build everything else around it

gold 3 btw if you care, i could very realistically make it plat 1 if i played a bit, given the skill of the people i'm up against

>>536116732
You mustve never paid rent if you think a landlord wouldnt rape you for less

>>536116614
getting off wifi is NOT arbitrary, paulo

>>536113778
Damn that's ai? How'd you make it anon

Pot is still so fucking retarded holy shit

now that EVO is owned by Indians, Pot will get his nerfs reverted

>>536116235
did you use cream api or have any mods installed? because they added an anti cheat measure in the game with this update.

>>536118170
It's over...

>>536118170
I'm using creamapi and I'm fine

>>536118170
My I-no model has her pussy hanging out and I'm fine

>>536118170
Im using creamapi and im completely fine

>>536118170
Nta but all my mods work just fine

Rock the baby

>>536118170
what anti cheat measure? i'm still able to play online with dlc characters lmao

Venom still isn’t playable

>>536118170
DONT SAY THAT

>i'm just fine
you're in a shadow lobby with other hackers. sorry chuds...

I get perverse joy in one and doneing happy chaos players

>>536118919
If Arcsys actually tried to make a shadow lobby it would probably lkil the servers

>>536119305
Johnny should go lower its looking dire

>>536119964
wow so this is the power of strive huh

>>536120121
what? what is wrong with the webm

>genuinely going to soive again just because they have actual matchmaking now
The tower was such a piece a shit

ok but who won? and who's next?

>>536120435
Tower is still better thoever.

Reminder that they never actually solved the hackerman issue. He just got bored and stopped doing it. He can come back any moment.

>>536118919
this was so funny in granblue when all the people you could fight were other .exefags

Got ranked down because of the nago-asuka mu

>>536120196
I'm mad you're having fun in a game I hate

>>536119305
>Anji
>Slight buff
how?

>>536118170
It is so rare to see good bait on modern 4Chan.

>>536116803
Alright, well when I finish my placement games I'll post my old (middling) elo and what rating I end up starting with.

>>536119964
ah that's how you use the gun. I've been a fool

Either I became godlike in my months long strive break or 2H vault deal c.s is way easier

I've won like 30 games in a row and I'm still getting the same meager portions of RP. This shit is so ass

>>536122459
youre just on johnny nigga

>>536122582
There's something fucking wrong with the japanese. How can you copy sf6's ranked system one for one, but not include all the improvements they made after launch?

GGs lunch :)

>>536106545
no
because i am in the same place
that means we are equals, that means i am a shit
so you must another one

are celestial badges an exclusive thing now?

>Nagoriyuki match on ranked
>Immediatly roundstart Gold burst
Why are people like this

>>536111235
why would that be noteworthy 95% of the people on her planet are humans

>read the dp reversal because she's dp'd literally every time i've knocked her down
>parry it

unc still got it, it seems

>>536097921
its not about number go up, its about the matchmaking
no one wants to interact in those fuck ass lobbies just let me queue like any other modern game

>>536124072
95% of the people on our planet aren't humans, I imagine the numbers are even worse in GG world with gears and all that.

>>536097921
Could they patch in fun in the next patch please?

>>536124072
Gears love breeding with human men. Specifically, wh*te men

Master Hammer hkd lol

>>536124117
>find a second match
>alt f4'd on again
holy fuck when did you guys become so pussy. is this real?

lobby?

The fact that arc sys listened to all the redditors crying about Johny and actually nerfing him when he was an honest mid tier makes me wish a horde of indians get shipped to Japan and replace everything one of those nips.

love to see a johnnynigger get humbled

>>536119305
This fucking fag LK put Test in winner just to spite me because I one guy'ed him yesterday for 5 minutes of seethe.
The worse is Test playerbase is so filled with trannies and subhumans they will agree on this even though Test sucks even more cock now with RWA and super prc nerf, fucking great.

bruv said johnny was mid tier

>>536124823
>your honest mid tier gets nerfed because people who can't play the game lose to him and call him top tier
first time?

>Leo player surprised people don't like him and are willing to alt f4
Hey it's just like Tekken!

>>536125759
nobody did it in my previous 1k hrs of playing tower but i spose this ranked point shit is serious business

>>536126153
yes you retarded faggot, those people just dodged you in the first place
how can you be this dumb

>>536124710
>>536126153
there is an option to only play with non-ragequitters so we can assume there's some kind of low priority queue where the scrubs can alt-F4 each other to their hearts' content

>>536124117
You're playing soive. Ranked will be semi dead soon because half of playerbase wants to dodge a lot of the cast lol.

>>536126263
it's just kind of funny, i dont rly care that much i guess

>>536126262
idk i didn't get dodged much either

>>536125612
Sauce? Yandex/saucenao didn't work.

>>536126153
Do you at least get points if they ragequit or whatever?

>>536126542
i mean i too want to dodge half the cast but i'll take my lumps til i get bored

>>536126608
no idea, i'm just doing my placements rn

LOLLLLL YOU AND RAMLETHAL PLAYERS DESERVE TO SUFFER FOR ETERNITY

>>536125612
nice pic

>>536126542
how have you been so angry at this game for so long

I wish I could see my total win/loss record

I don't think dodging is as common as dodgers tell themselves it is. If it was, no one would play HC because they wouldn't get any matches.

>>536127740

>>536127728
>stating a fact means youre le angry
ok

>>536127975
So there's a vast group of people who respond to random posts with your cute catchphase "soive" while fuming?

>>536128139
>still projecting
ok

>>536127868
the retards that play this game have been convinced by the "pros" that chaos is a heckin honest gud boy mid tier dude

>>536124823
Vast majority of the player base don't play the game and do shipping wars or coom posting like this tranny.
>>536125612

>>536127952
which one are you

I haven't seen Edgerunners and Lucy's inclusion makes me want to watch it less because she's so lame.

Bedman is ignorant as shit now. Glad I gotta deal with this bullshit now

>>536129156
he barely fucking changed

>>536128576
>Vast majority of the player base
Bro 100% of the playerbase play the game. You're talking about the fandom and secondaries

Damn nigger you sound like a bitch.

>>536129407
Nothing significant other than the entirely justified 2h nerf

>>536129509
Me on the left

>>536129407
Slow? They haven’t changed anything about his movement.

Where does "rankedboar" originate from and what does it even mean?

>>536129041
i was never going to watch that shit and then they added lucy and i went from not caring about it to actively hating it

>>536129707
fgg from 10+ years ago, you just grind rank

>>536129707
Like most things, it originates from sf players in fgg and sfg and means someone who only or mostly plays ranked and only has experience playing a game in ranked

>>536129972
>>536130027
So some random person in a thread said the term and now it stuck? I wish I had that kind of influence.

Not needing to space stundipper is kind of dumb imo.

can someone give me venom bnbs thanks

>>536130186
it's a variation of streamboar or trainingboar, referring to people that only watch streams or sit in training mode instead of actually playing the game
I don't know where "boar" comes from though

i dont like lucy but her intro glitching the opening is... soulful

>>536130720
ky fags always pretend they care about legacy mechanics but they removed his dp whiffing on crouchers so why wouldn't they also remove that

>>536129156
Nerfed actually

why does lucy's model look so weird

I'm tripping balls bro, there's so much grass and a monster energy shirtless dude

>>536124117
you're a leo who knows to block wakeup dp instead of running the flowchart offense.
you're clearly in the top 0.01% and smurfing

>>536131949
im washed as fuck desu... i used to be celestial i used to have hands. now i'm plat 2 getting my ass beat, but i guess that's what happens when you skip out on two whole seasons of a game lol

I NEED MORE GOD-DAMN INTERNET POINTS

so how do you feel about the ranked grind? it seems pretty slow no? i dont think there are win streak bonuses

if i could get diamond 3 in multiversus can i get master in strive

>>536130720
>Not needing to space stundipper
wait, really?
it just works now?
is that why i did P-P-stun dipper and it worked?
that seems kinda ignorant, i liked spacing it

>>536132404
Aren't those radically different games? I was global elite in CS but ass at apex legends

>>536119305
>LK of all people backpedaling instantly about venom buffs
uh oh

>>536129041
the show is shit

>>536130932
PLEASE im gonna cry please give me bnbs please

Not gonna lie these EU wait times are getting kind of spooky

>>536132291
Slow? Time is meaningless, the grind never ends.

>ky player presses stun dipper at full screen
>rbf jumps to 6 and suddenly he teleports underneath me
sasuga ky faggots i hate every single one of you so much it's unreal

>>536132863
what? im watching leffen and hes getting insta matches

Is US ranked split between EC and WC still?

>plat
>get matched with another plat
>it's a celestialfag who threw his placements
>get stomped
wow it's just like I'm still in the fucking tower's tenth floor!

Omg OWA is minus on block now its literally over

>testament got nerfed
>happy chaos got buffed

>play Johnny, May and Sin prepatch
>Sin nerfed to uselessness
>Johnny still seems very strong but kinda boring now
>May hurts my fingies if I play her too much
I guess it's finally time to dust off Chipp for the ranked grind.

Ino actually feels like shit. Why did they do this

>>536132863
Do you mean because it's instant? I am speed typing this right now in a loading screen. See you on the battlefield bitch.

>>536133772
>kinda boring now
>now

>>536132863
maybe you have your region set to something else

>>536133767
>>happy chaos got buffed
it's really funny that this happened desu
actually fucking insane
the retards that play this game see a char that's plus on whiff and went "yeah that seems fair, let's defend this because the guy that got a teenager to kill himself plays him and we like him for some reason"

>>536133547
that's me, sorry

Lucy may be a good MU for Asuka holy shit

haven't played since release because of floor autism and decided to check out ranked, anji is supposedly strong now? what happened

>>536134501
yea his 2h is broken

>>536098058
This can happen? They can end it early?
Just started doing placements (and I'm from SA so it's probably gonna take a WHILE)

>>536133767
Testament getting nerfed is good because he's a boring faggot.

>>536134501
he got buffed in every patch
also FISH being the most braindead move ever made

>>536116108
Is that plat or dia here

What a life

>>536116156
Leffen too, that retard unironically thought Anji was top 10 at worst and actual top 5 material even back on release

>>536135278
Its DR or some shit

>>536116537
No, but the character does stop random mashing
Anji is the tard wrangling tard

i can't beat dizzy.

>>536135380
Fuck Pot

>>536119305
>Everyone tells him his Anji placement is retarded, nobody ever claims otherwise
>Still in the same slot
Lmao

these placements are weird, I either get people who haven't touched the game in years like me or fucking gods that shouldn't be placed this low.

>go to celestial because I want the cool gold border
>instantly glitch out on battle station endlessly trying to connect me to a match with no one to the point I have to alt+f4
Nevermind then.

lorejunkies, why is sins 10th figure pose this?

Jeez Sin is hard to win with now. Some characters don't feel too bad to fight, but his weaknesses are a million times more glaring when he doesn't have his bullshit to compensate

>>536136313
Ranked was just added, it'll take time for it to even out.

>>536136620
He was in that armor in the After Story.

Why does lucy have unreactable 1 frame full screen combos?

>>536137038
I 6p those

this game's so much more fucking fun now that i can actually just sit in matchmaking and get matches instead of having to do tower
just beat up a potemkin and man the adrenaline
i kinda missed strive idk how long i'll keep playing (well i do) but it's nice to be playing it again

back in my day balance changes actually changed the characters

I wish there was a sound effect when you find someone to play against. I just want to tab out and tab back in when I get a match.

you guys are acting like this was supposed to be the 2.0 patch

>>536137323
back in your day gay and trans people were put to death so dont act like humanity had it good back then

>>536137323
you also paid 60 dollars for your balance patches so...

>>536137558
Yeah but for all we know 2.0 isn't coming out for another year+.

>>536137558
2.0 isn't a patch it's a 70 dollar video game that adds 2 characters

Did they change something about the input buffer? Been missing most of my reversal supers and even combo supers all day.
I'm pretty rusty and I've always been kinda bad ad 236236, but this has been ESPECIALLY bad

strive doomposting goes crazy

this game is pretty fun once you accept that not every game has to be as good as sf6

>>536138340
Every hobby and every genre of every everthing has doomposting. New wow xpac, doomposting, weekly elden ring thread for several year old game, doomposting. Dawn of war 4, doomposting. Check out some other hobbies, doomposting. Check out threads for anime I like, doomposting. I'm convinced there is a jewish demoralization campaign to doompost everthing.

What does ITEMERO even mean? GL yells it a lot

the doomposting is just the same 2 or 3 fags from fgg that are mad that strive is still alive while their game is a discordfighter

>>536137558
this is 2.0 for people who were fed up with retarded carried characters lol

>>536138564
>as good as sf6
>sf6
>good
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL

That's it??? That's the character????? She has like 4 buttons! The song choice isn't even good! What the fuck?

>>536138712
It's how 4chan works now. "Wow I love this game!!" doesn't get you any hot yous. Being a negative nancy does. There used to be more discussion but it's tedious typing up something and immediately being replied with "THAT SHIT FUCKING SUCKS FUCK YOU I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT"

>>536139146
>now

>>536138903
why cant we all just get along with our mutual love for guilty gear?

>>536137323
back in my day balance changes actually deleted the characters

>>536139085
She's pretty cool once you realize you need to constantly hack instead of spending it on RC. You just do 214H super on hit or on block

>>536138724
it's slang that combines the word 'item' and 'yamero' やめろ(stop). it basically means "eat this". with female pronouns it is 'itemete'

which low tier do I main so I can have a cope ready to go when I lose

why does ky say kai cenat when he gets hit

why does pot say melon fisto when he does mega fist

>>536139382
Really? thanks bro

>>536139085
>The song choice isn't even good!
Which would you have picked?

>>536139719
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CwFNFGSQV0

>>536139609
melon(メロン) is a japanese onomatopoeia for a crashing sound. so he's basically saying 'boom fist'
>>536139649
no problem :)

Someone tell me how bedman and faust are after the patch

>>536140149
johnny is still good

With GL getting a full combo off CH 624HS up close another niche use of his regular HS vanished. They might as well delete the move and instead the alien holds up a sign saying "I'm a fucking scrub that fucked up a BT input"

I won't stop complaining about Slayer until his 2H no longer low crushes my 2S

>>536140149
Johnny and Ram are still good. Slayer got a slap on the wrist. 2H is still a warcrime of a move.

>>536140329
asuka amazed by high tech pistol

>>536140149
>Johnny, Sin
heh

>>536140329
Incorrectly using the metron arpeggio was more damaging than getting shot three times in the face there

>>536140559
this but instead of Slayer it's Soive, and instead of 2H it's 6P, and instead of low crushing 2S it's beating 90% of my grounded buttons

>>536140149
the leo nerfs aren't actually that big a deal and more importantly he's been nerfed literally every patch since launch (granted yes he's gotten a few things in exchange for his nerfs like....... german stun dipper i guess)
in short, for me, it's always like this

The character I've ran into by far the most on ranked so far is Slayer. And this is in high diamond, did they all just fraud their way to this rank with robberies in their placement matches?

>>536141085
Its First to 2. Robbery characters are better in this format.

>>536140329
Why does this company keep making characters specifically to counter me

It's kinda sad fighting these Lucy's that haven't got the timing down for 2h partial charge whip yet. Feels like I'm bullying a scrub

>>536140132
>bed
more or less the same, yrc hurts his guard crush but it's good for his zoning. spike now cause soft knockdown and more pushback on block on it's first frame only, so it makes 2H safer and can get people off you occasionally.

So who are the early contenders for bottom tier now? Sin seems like a solid contender

>>536141494
dizzy again

>>536129509
Giovanna feels good this patch (by virtue of every character above her getting nerfed).

>>536141085
He's a very popular character, only a few bad matchups and has vast robbery potential. An intelligent choice for ranked I suppose.

>>536141572
Newfag here, what's wrong with Dizzy?

>>536141043
>yes he's gotten a few things in exchange for his nerfs like....... german stun dipper i guess
downplay of the year

>>536140149
>Nago

>>536141791
idk i haven't been keeping up with strive since the start of s3 when they added wild assault and it was the worst shit ever lol
but i still prob know more about the character than you and i'm not interested in listening to people who don't play him talk about him

>>536141494
It's always funny seeing how the top tiers got nerfed in pretty significant ways, but they mainly kept their main gimmick being strong. A character like Sin literally had one thing going for him and they gutted it so now he's just completely washed

>>536141883
nigger you're donwplaying Leo's 2D do you realize how insane that is

>>536142141
you're absolutely free to interpret me saying "leo got german stun dipper" as "leo's 2d isn't very good" i guess

remember that one leo player we used to have that was incapable of doing anything?

>>536142673
yes he's now playing street fighter being known as blue deejay

>optic hack
Lmao what the fuck even is this, they're not serious are they? Nobody's using this shit lol, this has to be a mash punisher or something this is beyond useless

>>536142853
she has an IOH with jH on crouchers

>>536142521
saying he's gotten nerfed and in exchange got "german dipper... I guess" I guess is a pretty clear downplay I guess
I guess

Who are the actual easiest characters in the game now

>>536142765
At least street fighter doesn't have the literally impossible 632146 input

Is it just me or do higher level players seem to play in the most monkey ape way possible?
They always burst immediatly, dp immediatly, YRC immediatly, etc
Is it because top tiers encourage this type of playstyle or what? Literally my first match against a Nago today started with roundstart gold burst
Is the optimal strategy in this game really to just pick the most retarded top tier you can find and go full ape-shit?

>>536143084
he's actually not THAT bad at sf6 either all things considered.

>>536142673
yea
thats not me tho im the one that posted "sex with leo whitefang" almost every day for like 2 years
poor guy is suffering worse in sf6 than ever before (that game is significantly worse than strive)

>>536143012
yeah i guess the way i said it sounded that way. i'd give up fast 2d to get back eisen->rc lol

>>536143037
Rougly ordered: Unika, Elphelt, Baiken, Gio, Johnny

>>536143210
he wasnt that bad at strive either besides just not being able to do the super input.

>getting matched with aura players who threw their placements so they could dab on lower players
LOL!

>>536141043
>nerfed literally every patch since launch
it took them until johnny was added to meaningfully nerf anything about him (it was a universal dp nerf) and then they straight buffed him the next two patches

I haven't played this much strive in a day since 2021. Good fucking lord how did this game survive this long without a proper matchmaking system

>>536141683
Her buttons suck, her zoning isnt that good, her combos reward the opponent with tons of meter and burst

>>536143142
I think mid-high players do that stuff less because they second guess it more, whereas high level players do it more because they have a better sense of when they can get away with it.

>>536143210
he just does the equivalent of c.S, f.S, h.S autopilot, which is enough to delete 90% of player because nobody ever blocks more than 1 attack in sf6 until super high ranks.

he doesn't even throw or do high/lows. you literally can't take damage from him if you just down back

>>536143450
not my fault i was getting matched against demons in my placements

>>536143608
yeah but he played leo in strive so you could not actually just hold down back

Alright bro

>>536143142
>Is it because top tiers encourage this type of playstyle or what?
Yes. Most of the top tiers have high health or high guts so it's much more beneficial for them to burn the burst as soon as possible because they're more than likely going to get it right back by the end of the round or the start of the next round.

>>536143719
Ah that's why you have to wait so long after the 2H pop

>>536143502
wrong sadly
s1 leo was a completely different monster compared to rn
not having this conversation btw

tournament doko?

lucy's animations are so bad

it's pretty crazy they didn't touch the meter gain of characters like pot

>placements
>random floor 10s
>evo finalists
>now have to spend the entire day climbing through retards to get to vanquisher
god forbid we add a winstreak system

>>536144334
everyone else said she is extremely well animated

>>536144424
how else is he going to spam the best super in the game?

>>536144424
Erm he needs it did you see what they did to YRC

i'm still not over unika's 2d
it looks like she sweeps in slow motion

>only ONE song actually from Edgerunners
This crossover feels so extremely phoned in

johnny's still laughably broken btw

>>536144529
Who would you trust more, a bunch of random people youve never met, or your local shitposter youve known for years?

>>536144796
did you know that 95% of songs from edgerunners are from the game?

>>536144796
>random character that doesn't fit the lore at all
>non-combatant in the show why pick her of all characters for a fighting game
>character is a fucking ad for a cartoon that was an ad for a game
>her song is only available for a limited time
i've been screaming this since she was announced lol

>>536145096
to make it funnier the ad is YEARS late

>>536145035
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLl-vhnGPY7cpGmDrC1P5qzY9QebtwuYAe
Literally not even close to true unless the only songs you know are the opening and IRWSAYH

>lucys BWA and air dash have glitch effects instead of the normal sigils
kino and soul

>>536145181
>>536145096
>everything is le ad
Life must be suffering for people like you

I will genuinely not jump into ranked before all my character's new tech is found out.
I'm not giving games to more carried fags now that I can't dodge them.

>>536139649
i'm feeling remorseful. i lied about the >>536139382 thing. sorry...

my bank account is zero zero zero

>>536144796
i only wanted let you down because its by my goat...

>>536145397
It's okay bro I didn't believe you and was being sarcastic

>>536145376
Which character?

>>536145216
I actually thought it's all copied from the radio since the Maine song is also from there and like 3 other instances
I mean they're obviously going to put the more popular songs than...I Will Follow by Snot Abundance

>>536145346
what do you think the crossover character is

Two questions
>When do DLC characters tend to go on sale
>Why is it every tournament match is on one stage

>>536145594
You've kinda got it backwards if you think Lucy being in Strive is an advertisement for cyberpunk

>>536145734
so... it is an ad then?

>>536145594
Yeah man the char that was accepted in 2024 june is an ad for the anime from 2022..clearly this is just because they saw every other FG do collabs and wanted to see how it'd be received in GG.
Edgerunners was a popular anime...CD Projekt always lands out collabs...so they put the anime char in an anime game

It should've been Becca

>still bitching about a guest character
Jesus move on already.

still can't believe they took away all of sol's damage

pretty sure pot is still top tier lolololollo

>still pressing button button special
Jesus play BlazBlue already.

I wish my girlfriend had a penis and it was bigger than mine
Asuka main btw

Lucy is fun but mirrors sure are tedious. If you could all stop playing her that'd be great.

>>536146179
>>536138903
lmao

>>536146179
The game with RWBY guest characters? No thanks man.

>wash my hands
>gain 200 rp
stinkybros, were we wrong?

10 match placement feels too much like gacha in a game like this, I got placed in like 25k and saw some of the people I usually play against at 40k (one of them, I even double perfected in a placement match)
considering how volatile rounds are in soive and how few points you get for winning a match after placement, feels kinda wack

what's up with rams flip thing where she lunges at you and is plus?
I thought I used to jab it last time I played but it feels instant? like a frametrap almost? I know it's coming and it's still stuffing me

the hell do you do with this?

I have never played this game before but is it true I need to be Indian or trans to play this game?

>>536146658
Yes

>>536146625
fuck you mean, it's minus as fuck now

>>536146658
No, black chasers are also allowed to play.

>>536146658
dunno about indians but a pride flag is like an 80% performance boost minimum

Why the fuck does my game have water-y sound, anyone experience this? It sounds really low quality for some reason

>>536146658
I think Tekken is the fighting game for Indians, this is definitely the place to be for trannies though.

>>536147215
Tekken belongs to LATAM, if Brazilian economy allowed them to travel or even play online consistently they'd take over the world

>>536146658
pretty sure poos don't fuck with western rock references

>>536146658
you need to take adderall
the HRT is just a bonus

>>536147176
>It sounds really low quality for some reason
yeah the soundtrack is dogshit

am I supposed to be playing ranked in EC?
I got the same guy twice in a row on WC

>muh placements
>muh grind
who cares? just play the game, if you deserve vanquisher you'll get it soon enough, it's not a race

>>536146658
No Strive is for half white half asians with awful acne.

i really dont like how they made giovanna be a chauve bot
why add this special? you basically do it everytime now

holy shit I am really enjoying the game again
stun dipper hkd is fucking amazing

>>536146007
It should have been fucking Ryuko bro

I'm so godlike

Does Unika have a small hurtbox making zato jD jD setups whiff or what? Anything I can do to make them hit??

>>536149202
Half-circles are fine, but otherwise I agree those are garbage inputs and shouldn't be in fighters.

>>536149587
>>536149202
retarded bot

>>536145346
yes, crossovers are ads.
that's objectively what a crossover is.

>>536146007
even worse holy shit a collab with cyberpunk edgerunners is top 3 worst ideas in history far worseer than 9/11

>>536146625
Not sure if this is a shitpost, the move has gotten changed a lot of times, before it was + and you had to stuff it on reaction but now the grounded version is like -9 and the air version is -7, either way you block and get a free punish.

>>536149915
Becca at least did some fighting in the show, though obviously it should have been the protag if you really have to pick a character from Edgerunners.

does gogetabros still play here? i'll drop the game if he's still here

>>536149915
Tranny game tranny anime, why are you surprised

>>536150049
>Replace roman cancel effects with a sandevistan activation
It'd be so kino

>>536150049
collab chars are female chars with lots of fanservice, dude

>>536150084
it's been more than a year bro let it go

>>536148264
Just made a challenge acc, how do i sign up?

>>536150220
Yeah, like Terry, Ken, Clive, Negan, Geralt, Vader, Yoda or Noctus. Damn all these female collab characters, why can't they just pick a man for once?

>>536150285
tell me does he

>>536150181
cause i want a cool tranny pick like Ryuko matoi fucking faggot

Soul Calibur had the big bux to get both 2B and Geralt in one game, yet Arcsissy can barely get 2B in Granblue, and got denied any Witcher char for Strive. Even Monster Hunter got Geralt.

>>536150452
>bringing up tekken and soul calibur
those are party games

>>536150437
click this >>536149091

>>536150501
if he does it's under a different name idk

>>536146007
No that would be 10 times lamer. Anything they made with her lame ass hulk hands + gun only appearances in the show would be worse than lucy

anyone else getting connection issues in ranked rn

>>536150565
So? You were clearly talking about guest characters in general, not just in fighters because you referred to them as collab characters, and nobody in the FGC does that, guest is the term used. Fact is, guest characters are usually characters that are popular and/or recognizable so that they can be used to advertise their original product, gender does not enter into it, unless you are exclusively talking about coomer gacha games.

>>536150748
>"walking arsenal" would be worse than "I whip people"
Somehow, I doubt it

>>536147307
>Tekken belongs to LATAM
lol you not have internet for the past two decades or something retard? Tekken belongs koreans, pakis, blacks and a few euros who often hang around and act like blacks

>>536150679
does he

Is plat like the minimum/base rating? I've been getting matched against a lot of people who're clearly still learning the game

>>536151012
no

Why do people want Rebecca she literally got killed by a guy's ass

sometimes when i want to masturbate to the gayest shit to exist i do it to this forum cause u faggots arguing is exactly what i need to get off

>>536151024
It's on-brand, the tower had 11 floors out of which 3-4 were in actual use.

>>536151194
ur welcome

>>536151194
what the heck

Landed plat 3 on baiken after i got home. is it over for me?

>>536151212
People played in floors 8 and 9? Is that an East Cost/Japan only thing?

>7 players already
NO NO NO NO STOP STOP STOP STOP SOIVE SOIVE SOIVE SOIVE KILL YOURSELF KILL YOURSELF KILL YOURSELF

Which girls would be improved if they got turned into a loli?

>>536150938
>walking arsenal
oh yeah ms 3 gun will definitely be a walking arsenal lmao. She'd be a lamer elphelt when elphelt is already a lame piece of shit.

>>536151601
When the game was more populated, people would get demoted to floor 9 during Celestial resets and proceeded to play there to avoid all the Celestials flooding floor 10.

>>536151024
Yea...

How do I Jack-Off
I wanna have my little buddies play the fighting game for me and make people uninstall

>>536151873
you have to jack-off inside a woman and wait around 4 years for them to become smart enough

>>536151754
elphelt

>>536151851
Game made me play against 4 different pro players over 2 characters of placement matches so honestly I can imagine someone landing near the bottom just from sheer bad luck

i dont even want a new special i want one (1) good air to air button
i don't even want a jump-in just give me ONE good air-to-air button

>>536152556
What character so we can know if you're full of shit

>>536152821
Ram

why do they keep streamlining stuff? at this rate by the end of 2.0's life cycle the game will just be anime divekick

>>536153021
sick sf6 clip

is unigga fun?

Lucy is too fucking fast wtf

>>536151851
She has nothing to lose, pretty scary...

Matchmaking without the ugly ass habbo hotel avatars running around me feels kind of empty....lonely....I miss them

fuck HC

Why

>>536088748 (OP)
How i get good like you bros?

>>536153939
gg was me

>>536154274
9/10 people do this

>>536154274
so do you play xrd or +R

>>536155410
lol

>>536155410
i play gbvsr

>>536153939
only umisho can do that

>expected the general to talk more about gameplay and ranked system
>it's shitposting over console war type shit and gay posting again
fucking gogetabros

>>536155589
isn't that hypocritical

>>536155678
what did gogetabros do this time

give me my points back or die irl

>guard crush still eats your buffer
SO WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT

>>536155678
gogetabros is dead...

>>536156492
we already fell for the 3v3 meme
it's not happening

>>536156581
i hate this bitch so much it's unreal
>BUT SHE'S BAD
no she's not

>>536156830
she's a baddie

tell dizzy and ky to stop having kids

>>536157828
would've been nice if someone said that before we got unika
what a flop

>>536157859
she's fine she just needs a new haircut

What the fuck is wild assault? You can spend burst for a sort of Roman cancel? Isn't that just making the game more volatile?

>>536156603
Literally just a test for Tokon. Explains why they put all that time into it when no one asked.

anyone else losequit and block every opponent after 1 loss?

>>536157990
yea brudda strive has dat sauce yaknoewudimsaiyanbrudda

>>536158182
only against chars i don't want to play against

>>536157990
it used to be stronger before today, you're experiencing the dumbed down version.

>>536158668
that's every character for me

>>536157990
we have cr.MK>drive-rush at home

>Asuka's new freeze spell cant reliably combo into cubes on grounded hit
Well it does wall slump setups atleast but it couldve been more.

>>536157990
back when it was first made, if you broke the wall with it, you got a hard knockdown in addition to all the other shit lol
that was when i dropped the game
glad they came to their senses

>winquitting Unika
Holy shit we're making new analogies for Faggot never seen before

>>536155937
why would it be

why hasn't gobou played yet, has he quit strive

>>536159496
how long does the freeze last?

>>536160186
aint that nigga a salaryman
it aint even friday yet let him be

>>536145719
unranked newbie here
1) Season passes are on sale right now on steam. then every few months with Steam sales, sometimes Arcsys does seasonal sales
2) I'm pretty sure Strive will use different stages, its Granblue VS that only fights on that one castle stage

>>536145719
every stage is on sale for free using creamapi
tournaments use certain stages for more frames because ps5s suck cock

>>536160409
unbelievable

>>536160409
The Jive'n'Strive Alliance has never been stronger!

>>536157990
not nearly as versatile as RC and there are 3 types that are either for pressure, combos, or is invincible

>>536160409
This is proof that trying to reinvent the wheel for ELO for ranked mode was a mistake

>>536160343
Enough to follow up. The problem is the gravity scaling affects it so much you cant end with a cube shot, they just fall off the combo.

Just realized the new ranked mode has no badges yet, all the badges are only for lobbies or rooms

>>536160994
as always, let me remind you that there were unironic transgender retards in here who argued in favour of the tower
strive's ranked system isn't even good, but at least it's a fucking ranked queue

I am actually rather astounded by how bad Sin is now. I wouldn't even mind it that much if Pot and Chaos got hit that hard too. At least one of them deserves to be gutted as badly as Sin was

>>536161248
Sure anon
Not even a single person defended it without the intent to troll

>>536159714
For me it was a win quitting baiken ape

>>536161454
I swear it was their revenge on sneed

>>536161454
Id rather have Sin have his grilla buttons than HC be any where be this good or even decent. That shitter has gotten away with so much since forever, just gimp his j.2K or his fucking whiff shot alrrady, hell nerf ONE of them at least

honestly this guard point was sick as fuck and i felt really good about it. it feels so weird to be playing a game where characters are actually unique again instead of just system mechanics. had more hype moments in one afternoon of striving than in two whole years of str**t f****er s*x

>>536161038
now you know the pain of playing dizzy

>>536161756
You ever see Bottoms? Its one of those quirks of the universe where god hates you but you cant prove it, so shit goes wrong in the most ridiculous ways to you but everyone else sees it as normal

>>536161908
This but one year of Tekken 8%. I hate tekken 8 and it's devs so goddamn much dude glory to arcsys and strive.

>>536162050
dizzy is broken

>>536162243
i would never play tekken but i hear your pain, i've heard basically nothing but negativity about 8 since it dropped and then s2 somehow made it even worse allegedly lmao

I don’t get the point of playing when Potemkin is top tier.

>>536160994
Now just wait til they remove the wall and HC

>>536162470
they would literally never make hc anything but top tier. it's clear that he's a favorite and will never be made sufficiently fair.

?!

>>536162285
as in barely functional? yeah

>>536162538
it really does not help that his design is so popular with LGBTs

>>536160994
>>536160409
i know soivers are retarded, but you know a major patch was released today right? for strive, not for sf6
the is a biannual peak for soive
it's a temporary low point for sf6

>>536162952
we do not claim him
homos are more interested in almost every other guy in the game lol
can't speak for the others but i guess i cant deny his popularity with trans ppl like my mind goes straight to umisho and deb

>>536162538
It's not that he's a favorite it's just that he is a literal mistake that they have no idea how to sufficiently deal with much like xrd elphelt along with +r baiken, zappa and testament so they're just changing shit around with him knowing they will make sure to never do something like him again by completely removing him as a playable character in later installments or by making him play completely differently next time he is playable.
>>536162952
>popular with LGBTs
but japan is the one that loves him like a motherfucker as a character, thinks he's cool and is the reason that he doesn't get nerfed since no one over there can play him right.

>>536143142
have you not been paying attention to the game since it was revealed?

chaos is not a lgbt character hes a chuuni character

I got home and I havent played in years, whats Gio new BnB.

>>536163547
same thing

>>536161756
arc is strangely stubborn about pretending certain things aren't overly strong and totally has counterplay.

>They rightfully nerfed zato from ac but made zappa basically the same thing in +R. They shuffled testament's power and he basically didn't get nerfed despite that being the intention.
>They allowed arakune, carl, and izanami to exist in blazblue.
>In p4a arena ultimax they made a puppet character who never lost their puppet gauge.
>In xrd, elphelt and raven had very effective mix for no good reason.
>And now in strive they pretend HC is totally a fine design decision. Although I like asuka, it's the same thing with him.

>>536162642
if she looks at me like that I'm going to schlick ferociously

>>536163318
literally all it would take to get me to stop dodging the character would be to remove whiff bang. the character would be completely retarded without it, but it wouldn't straight up feel like a mugen boss character.

>>536163627
Nono chuuni makes him popular with manchildren(leffen, japan) and literal children(that 14 year old that played him at evo and again japan)

Sex with Lucy.

Giovanna's en214k gives her back her easy knockdowns from neutral pokes and even gives her a way to fight DP
So i have to ask
Why the fuck did they take it away in the first place

they kinda cooked bros
I had fun playing strive today

>>536165018
will you say that next year too

>>536165018
The most degenerate character of all was nerfed
Tower

>>536146618
Really feeling this so far. I've been on 2 20+ win streaks because too many people in plat actually don't know how to play, and I'm still not even halfway from plat 3 to diamond
Making placements put you on apparently anywhere from 10k to 40k on a game this volatile when you get ~100 per match might've been a bit too much

NA Lobby
818160
closing in 15 minutes if no one joins

so is unika just a sin for retards

>>536165813
they're both Ky for retards
Sin is just Ky for tier whores and Unika is Ky for coomers

>>536163620
Bwos please, I am dumb and bad.

>>536165494
players doko

>>536165917
>Ky for tier whores
Not even that anymore

>>536163703
raven isn't really an example of that, yeah he's kinda boring and some of his shit is too good for how simple it is but arcsys did nerf/change him pretty significantly every patch after he came out and were moving in the right direction, and his shit does have decent counterplay it's just frustratingly hard compared to how easy and mindless it is to do, and they didn't get a rev3 or GGXXXX or whatever to do a big enough change to really fix him despite pretty obviously being aware of the problem
Elphelt is really a perfect example though, because all of japan thought she was mid tier somehow, and Johnny despite everyone knowing he was the best character in the game Arcsys were just really stubborn about him. Still rather fight either Elphelt or Johnny than Zappa though.

>jump dust with 23 frames of startup
Holy useless

>>536165334
nigga idk right now it's only today

Unika is the worst Strive newcomer - FACT

Where are the win streak bonuses?

The game won't even give me the update, I can't get steam to start it. Anyone else have this issue/know how to solve it?

>>536167781
restart steam

fart assault

>>536168894
that's a funny run animation

>>536168005
Steam restart and computer restart did not work, which is the biggest issue

>>536169193
try verifying integrity of the files?

>>536165494
ggs
might rejoin later if it's up
>2K+ elo lobby
lol. ranked brought you all back huh

>removed the infinite Elphelt rekka despite it not even being good in the first place after your first time seeing it
NO FUN ALLOWED
Man fuck this game

>>536169845
>learn the fuzzy
>still trapped blocking it forever
may all elphelt players burn in eternal hellfire
this is the fate you deserve

>>536169845
i know on paper that it's a knowledge check but i simply never learned the right answer

Lucys Kara cancel doesnt even feel like a kara cancel it feels intentionally developed by the devs
Which makes it infinitely less cool

>>536170462
You just 6p lol

found an exploit to ragequit matches without getting flagged for ragequitting (i think it even makes the game think my opponent ragequit)

>>536169845
I know people say this about any character they dislike but genuinely Elphelt should not be allowed to be good. THOUGHBEIT I feel like most people would have been happy with just the bomb vest nerf.

What characters won this patch bros

>>536171301
Millia

>>536171301
Leo. He's was already a low-mid tier character and only got weaker this patch, but now retards in the tower can't dodge me anymore because they refuse to learn the matchup of an underplayed character. They have to play at least one match against me now (before blocking me) if they want to avoid playing me that bad.

>>536171864
>He's was already a low-mid tier character
he has the most consistent tournament presence of any character besides HC

>>536171864
look, your bf is very cool and all, but leo was strong as fuck

>>536169845
Just rekka dash cancel bomb and start again

>>536169845
Eat a bag of dicks with the ramlethal players in hell nigga

>>536169635
Just gonna reinstall and hope that does it

>havent played for 3 years
>go in without labbing anything
>diamond 1
huh

>>536174990
sajam is back in strive
black players are running in fear

>>536174990
I dont want e celeb opinions, I want pros seething about characters

>We made no changes to Unika because she's too new
Oh fuck off with this nigger bullshit it's been retarded every time, it doesn't take a genius to realize that at least stupid shit like one of her supers being unusable should be fixed

>>536174951
it's the minimum rank you can place at in modern games. snowflakes need to feel like they are special without having put any work in

>>536174990
sajam says basically whenever he plays strive that there's something about it that he likes more than sf6

>>536175795
some people just want to have fun and not sweat

>>536175795
i only got gold 3...
