revert the 2H nerf

johnny blockstrings take too long im going to start blocking all johnny players instead

shhh

>>537967153
It's funny to me how transparent trannies are about self-inserting onto Bridget and then shipping her/him/it with every female character.

me (I'm an indestructible super genius) and my flexible wife

>>537967674
I do forget sol is actually a genius because of his gameplay

>>537968725
I also forget that with how retarded he acts in 90% of his games.

>>537968725
>>537970596
Him pretending to be retarded and actually being retarded sometimes despite his intelligence is kino

>>537971704
>I've pretended to be retarded so long and for such a consistent period of time I think I've become retarded
All this and more things to discover now that Sol is fucking off.

My hand is not fast enough...

Smurfs and wifi laggers, kindly install SF6 and abandon GGST. Thank you

>>537973491
Smurfs aren't real

So is it fair to say if Venom and Dizzy have become good? Dizzy definitely feels good and is quite frustrating to beat. Venom feels really good too, but I haven't played against him enough yet to say for certain

>>537973479
What are those buttons? I want to try that combo

How much DR do you need to make the sharkussy wet?

>>537974651
dizzy is way better, no one knows for sure about venom because no one plays him

Was Johnny actually nerfed that bad this last patch? He still seems retarded

>>537967674
O_O
^_^
I_I

>>537976178
Yeah his nerfs were pretty bad, but he's still pretty good since the nerfs seemed to focus on making him not as ignorant as he was before. Johnny was pretty much perfect at most things, but now he's much more specialized with his strengths and can't win from existing

>>537976178
Yes
He's significantly nerfed.

He can no longer get c.S after popping card on your midscreen from most ranges after s finer knockdown
OWA on block being removed means he can't loop his positive bonus pressure with high lows like a complete degenerate anymore
His backdash is actually seeable now and he can't backdash f.s shake my hand you anymore
Numerous defensive options are much more viable (FD, DS, FDIB etc) because his dash distance is so much worse
He has to hit confirm from F.s properly to get oki, so his damage is generally lower in almost all circumstances

>>537976774
>>537976803
ahhh then I guess I just need to figure out how I can take advantage of his new weaknesses

>>537973479
You're probably going from 2P to 5P too quickly; try delaying a little between them.

>>537975170
2P > 5P > 6S > 236KK

LULE

Gotta save that 70RP

NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE FAT NIGGER WHO IS ASS AT THE GAME STOP POSTING HIM THANKS

matches keep disconnecting at the intro. wtf. is anyone else experiencing this

idk how people can air throw me when I try to double jump away when I can't do it, it's like freakin magic

>>537978483
this guy's story does not end well.

>>537979337
sin is ready for his first day of school I see

Do you just get auto placed into d3 if your other character is vanquisher

>>537975170
U is Punch, I is Slash, J is Kick, K is Heavy Slash, O is dust. It's PC keyboard input
>>537978187
I fumble usually around 5P > 6S or transition from 6S to Bandit Revolver, but yeah I sometimes struggle around 2P > 5P too, thanks for advice btw

>>537982858
Nah, I just tried a new character and got placed in diamond 1 while my main is vanquisher

Why doesn’t Venom want a wife?

>>537983567
he zesty

>>537983567
he's too baker

how do i be this happy

I don't have time for a wife. I'm grinding ranked.

i don't have time for ranked. I'm schlicking to dizzy.

>>537983567
Why look for a wife when you can be Zato's the wife.

why did none of you tell me that chipp is the most fun character in this game

>>537974651
dizz is outrageous now but you won't see the retards that play this game acknowledge it until a year or so from now

>>537978772
he was in the right 100%

>>537985578
squeeblies aren't fun in strive

is unika’s corner pressure fake? I feel like i’m struggling to deal with her corner pressure most of the time but there was this one time i just held low watching for the overhead and punishing after.

>>537986575
>there was this one time i just held low watching for the overhead and punishing after
This is a new strategy, I don't think anyone has ever done this before.

>play fighting games since I was like 7 years old with a controller
>finally get one of these leverless fighting pads
>go to practice tool to practice combos
>can't even do quarter circles anymore and want to autistically chimp out because the new button layout isn't clicking
Should I refund this or is it really worth it?

>>537989435
what a retard

>>537989807
she might be the worst girl in strive

>>537989435
in games with buffers and lenient input reading systems, comfort is a lot more important than anything else. there were xrd evo champs playing on dualshock 4.

>>537991217
But he didn't post elphelt!

>>537992254
>nago thinks elphelt is an annoying bitch
>american BBCism mind controls them to ship them together
With the saudis buying evo, hopefully they can ban trannies.

I love getting air throw when i want j.D its kino and based and player expression

>>537992805
sorry, chuddie. guilty gear Is OUR fighting game now.

>>537994069

Good morning, I would have sexual relations with the version of Testament from the hit game Guilty Gear Strive.

You could feed a fucking family off those things.

Getting into Strive but my Xinput controller doesn't work natively despite Steam saying it's supported? I have all 5 face buttons working but can't rebind them or bind any macro. Is this a Strive specific problem? All other fighting games work natively without a problem. I'm not using Steam Input as there's considerably apparent input delay.

>>537994732
Not reading that essay

>>537991369
Is the dualshock 4 a particularly bad controller option? I play Strive with it and it's fine

>>537991369
>broke enough to not have Playstation or any console/handheld in past
>arcade doesn't have fighting games
>Only have PC just to play Dota and Ragnarok Online
NTA, but what if I start with keyboard+mouse? I currently build a leverless stick to actually start playing fighting games

Any Australians here? Is the game dead here? Was considering getting it but don't want to sit in queue for 5 minutes between matches running into the same 2 people.

WOOOOAAAAH
STORYTELLER

>>537996390
Now that's the kind of gay shit I can get behind. Bridget cannot compare.

>>538000572
The worst thing about the DS4 is the shitty rubber piece beneath the d-pad that will inevitably wear out and rip and need to be replaced. I went through several of those before just switching to an xbox pad.

strive is a gorilla game, no brain just mash, win or lose go next, fluoride brain npc game

i'm in plat, this means the majority of the playerbase is within my grasp. (i'm not leaving plat)

When is the next sale I don't trust Arc Sys not to bundle everything together in 2.0

>>537999924
huh??

i had to make a smurf account to have fun with venom, intentionally lost all my placements and i'm finally having fun with this character in gold
trying to decide if i should throw half my matches to stay here forever or just make a new smurf account every time i get to diamond

>>538008503
evil posters like you

>>538009285
t-they do?

>>538005787
I think conversely though it's the rubber bit that makes the pad good until it wears out.

>>537976178
he's nerfed, but in a Leo/HC/Goldlewis way where he's lost some stuff, but the core of what he does is still retarded so he'll still be near the top.

>>538008503
>getting 490 points per win
i'm ranking up way too fast here, but losing to break my winstreak defeats the whole purpose of smurfing, i want to shit on people, not let them win
making a new smurf account every time i rank up seems tedious and also gives people free wins during my placement matches, i don't want to do that on a consistent basis
what if i pre-prepped hundreds of smurf accounts so i can just switch accounts and shit on scrubs with no interruption? i think i'll have chatgpt make me a python script to create mass smurf accounts and lose the 10 placements while i sleep

>>538011551
just sit in the park?

>>538008503
>smurfing
>from DIAMOND
yeah ok bumass nigga

>>538013530
i have 5 characters in vanquisher, this is about venom, i can't win with venom in diamond because he doesn't carry

>>538014232
>5 characters in vanquisher
>cant win with VENOM
fraud toptiers in vanquisher and struggling to win with a midtier? reminds me of someone

>>538014389
venom is literally bottom 1

i didn't know slayers back dash cancels were just a tk. they always sounded more complicated than that in my head. but this shit is kinda easy

why did none of you tell me that slayer is the most fun character in this game

>>538014505
he's no zato-ichi

>win the match purely by chance
>don't leave the lobby to make the other guy wait 20 seconds for nothing because you can't cancel rematch invites in this stupid game

>>538023164
I feel that and do the same thing most of the time; it's hard to break habits.

made vanq
I'm playing through the entirety of hollow knight so I can understand the silksong hype
when I get back I expect another tournament

>>538025047
it's mid, son.

It's only been like 2 weeks why is Strive dead again

How committed to your main are you

>>538027186
bad game

>>538023164
are you new? cuz that's pretty normal
it helps to try your new combos in casual sets, instead of ranked

>>538027475
what main?

>>538027919
>tournaments aren't allowed to ban people just because they don't like them
sneed freed?

>>538028456
this only applies to umisho

LETS GOOOOOOOO

>You can only play at certain hours
???????
Maybe this is the key to Strive too, that's why the servers feel horrible as they only work at certain hours

>>538029015
This is normal for playtests. They want to concentrate the playerbase in a certain timeframe.

GG is so influential they gave him the FAB colors

>>538029078
It's normal for small scale playtests, but it's not normal for heavily advertised and hyped betas.

damn nigga u are a fraud

>>538030315
If that were true 2xpoopoo would be fun instead of a 10yo dev hell turd

>>538029015
I didn't even get in the beta.

people say "I play better against good players" is cope but even more now that there's proper ranked I realize that it's actually just factual
in higher ELO ratings there's a lower concentration of gorillas, people will make the (erroneous) call of respecting my options and playing it safe, which lets me put to practice my thousands of hours of FGs to work, and overcome them or play evenly and get respectable results by picking strategically better options, whereas a Sol in my own ELO or lower will just run up Bandit Bringer 10 times and I will fail to respond to it 10 times and die, so whoever gets the first turn wins

>>538035321
Elo isn't an acronym

>>538035551
You're an acronym

>>538035321
I'm confused. Are you saying you agree with the cope?

>>538036932
>people say X is cope, but now i realize it's factual
does this simplified sentence help your reading comprehension?

>>538037039
ok cool

you're coping btw

>>538035321
higher elo players actually block, that's why they made it to high elo, but you don't know how to block so how did you get to high elo? you are a carried gorilla

>>538029228
>>538030315
He straight up has a regular Pot color

>>538037686
that's not me, but I'm not it's just what happens, higher elo players are (generally) easier to play well against because, by being careful, they let you play to your strengths instead of abusing your weaknesses

>>538037738
I'm not saying I'm good by any means by the way, I have innately dogshit reactions on top of old man reactions, so it doesn't matter if I try to block because I'll get opened up or lose neutral to stupid shit
but higher rated players are less likely to bumrush me and loop unsafe mix I can't react to, so it leads to me having a better (or more like even) win rate against players with much higher elo compared to players in my elo range
in the old system, over a long set, some players would usually figure out I have paper thin defenses and just start bumrushing me, so a set that started 4-2 could end up 6-12, but in a FT2 format it doesn't happen as often

>tokon beta has select times it will be up
Ah this must be that sony retardation

The next major

My ride has only downs

>>538041051
why that nigga in socks

>>538032160
honestly no. Riot is not the greatest and lol sucks but the ip spawned something decent with arcane s1.
Marvel is rotten to the core, it's the most commercial, capitalistic, megacorp, soulless, retarded, lower common denominator, death of creativity, biggest garbage that ever existed in the entertainment industry.
Also if we want to talk about gameplay, tokon seems limited and extremely on rail compared to 2xko

>>538043858
marvel was good for longer than LOL was good

>>538037738
sure keep blocking sol fS pressure for 5 minutes, till your risk gets to max and you explode or you give him time to adapt and starts mixing throws as well. I'm sure it's the right strat

>>538044010
when? in the 60s?
i admit i'm not american so i did not grow up with this shit but to me it always seemed the most soulless garbage ever made just to sell figures, more than star wars
the stories are really fucking dumb even for kids, and unlike mangas where they are made by a single person with a vision they always change artists and writers so they can't even keep it straight and come up with the most stupid bullshit to justify it

>>538044668
>when? in the 60s?
yeah

>>538043858
>arcane s1
opinion dropped

>riotgarbage better than capeshit in anyform
>using arcane as the sole example of something decent from riot to say it's better than capeshit
South American, Brit, Slav or Australian.

finna mash fS

Why does every single other zoner in this game just pulverizes Asuka into atoms, doesn't help most of them are braindead easy, I feel like I'm being raped by a bunch of retards
The only one I can excuse is Venom because he actually takes braincells to play but Stinger is still really annoying
Dizzy Axl and Test can all rot in hell

>>538046195
Because you are playing a zoner that is supposed to excel at fighting non zoners idiot.

Lucy is so bad lmao

https://youtu.be/lPtA21mTo6Q?si=GWkDCqDKuMfUlWoM
Lol

Not clicking your shit. Get a real job, clayton.

>>538039484
>higher elo players are (generally) easier to play well against
ok, but do you actually win against them more often vs low elo players, or do you just feel better about your losses because you're not cheated by random bs?

if so, what good is your defininition of "playing better" if you're not winning more?

It's time we talk about The Millia Question.

>>538046195
>I feel like I'm being raped by a bunch of retards
Funny. That's how everyone else feels fighting against Asuka.

>>538047437
Doesn't matter if we do. no one good plays her at a high level or in tournaments so she will be getting buffed soon

>>538043858
>it's the most commercial, capitalistic, megacorp, soulless, retarded, lower common denominator, death of creativity, biggest garbage that ever existed in the entertainment industry
You ever play strive

>>538045092
>>538045257
marvel doesn't even have an arcane. There is not a single quality work spawned by that ip

ASW is cooked, they only push out baby games ever since DBFZ
2XKO is the future of fighting games unfortunately (i'm not a fan of tag fighters but at least it has some depth)

>>538048591
2XKO doesn't even have motion inputs.
The truth is that fighting games are just done as a whole.
Big companies went full casual and will never come back, indie companies can't sell / advertise enough to survive, it's over.

>>538048443
>marvel doesn't even have an arcane
Do you think they need one? The 1st two Iron man and Captain America movies, Hulk movie, 1st Avengers, any spiderman movie and a vast amount of animated shows they have made in the past 3 decades are considerably better than arcane. Get riot out your ass brother.

you're defending megacorporation slop
think about that. think about what you're doing

I wanted Persona 5 Arena.

>>538049562
I'm not defending shit I am stating an objective fact riot has not done a single damn good thing while capeshit has done some occasional good things.

I hate how much Slayer players suck but they can still fraud wins off me

>>538049149
all garbage. You are insane if you think they are on the same level of arcane

I'VE BEEN FIGHTING NOTHING BUT SLAYER AND ANJIS TODAY
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE
SAVE ME 2XKO

>>538052386
Bro 2xko is not your savior that shit is dnf duels fans, bbtag fans, mvc2 fans and gg xrd fans coming together to make an abomination. More specifically xrd Faust and I-no players which is even worse.

>>538055008
But I also like DNF MvC2 and Xrd

>>538055194
dios mio

>>538055194
>But I also like DNF
Then you deserve your suffering in this game and that game

>>538055595
>>538056001
DNF was just UNI but simpler and with cooler character designs

>>538056113
more like UNI but retarded and with worse character designs

>>538056113
>UNI but simpler
absolutely not
>and with cooler character designs
fuck no.

That guy is right about DNF having better character designs than UNI

>>538058249
That's not a high bar considering most UNI characters are boring as fuck

>>538058319
no but dnf really does have some banger character designs check it

>>538058249
>>538058475
No. Maybe if they used the NEO awakening versions, which probably would've made the game less of a boring piece of shit as well, or the cast wide 2nd awakening designs instead of just monk maybe but they didn't. Also enchantress looks like boring shit compared to any uni or general french bread design.

>>538059575
>Asking for the stupid over the top NEO versions
>Hating on the cooler 1st awakenings
>Shilling for generic highschooler vs highschooler casts in the meantime
You got a game with zombie Vergil with a ghost swordmaster buddy fighting as one, you got a dude who chugs whiskey for more damage on his shotgun and explosion attacks and Lu Bu and you decide that pic rel is better?
Jesus, do you also think BB has good designs?

>>538060709
I like Byakuya because his claws are cool and I like his bolo tie.

DnF Duel is a cool game with cool designs and I hope it one day gets its Grubble: Rising version but UNI designs aren't that bad
I like Hilde, Gordeau, Waldy and M*rkava (hate fighting that rat though)

guys just be unemployed and you can be great at video games too

>>538060709
>NOO THE NEO DESIGNS ARE TOO OVER THE TOP
>NOO THE UNI DESIGNS ARE TOO SIMPLE AND GENERIC
>DUDE PALER VURGIL AND LU BU
You wouldn't know good if it sodomized you.
Only reason I got dnf duel was because of troubleshooter and even then he and especially ghostblade are still mediocre compared to the designs from any other anime game. And yes bb has good designs the only anime game I have thought had bad designs is xrd.

>>538061614
>the only anime game I have thought had bad designs is xrd.
And I was about to call you a retard and argue with you, too... I kneel

>>538061550
I can confirm this is true.

>>538061614
Jesus fucking christ anon why are you seething so hard when you can't even grasp the concept of balance in a design

>>538061795
I thought trannies were supposed to be good at this game

>>538061842
I understand balance you dunce but the "balance" in designs of most of the dnf duel cast makes them fucking suck compared the most of their other forms and to most other games

I genuinely felt bad for most of her opponents.
the be fair, the ranked system is partly to blame for not pushing people up fast enough

>>538061550
I hate nearly every single modern FGC guy like you wouldn't believe.

>>538062857
>Oh my science is that shaggy hair and glasses?!
Yeah ok bitch.

>>538064515
Why the fuck do you post like a r*dditor dude

Winning with Sin feels dirty.

>>538063760
yeah it also illustrates that her getting good wasn't some natural thing she literally has the ear of actual pros who wouldn't give the average player the time of day

I don't know if I feel more robbed by Slayer or Unika.

I-no should rob me of my semen

Get the FUCK out of here, Axl

>Ranked doesn't let you immediately block one and dones in ranked
Fucking gay

>>538066483
block me if you want, i already got your points :)

>>538067149
I don't care about the points, I just hate fags that take forever to make a choice and just dip out after the first game.

finna low forward

Can someone explain how this fucking shitty move needs to have a hitbox as bad
It's the slowest 5H in the game after Nago and it doesn't even hit crouchers till 2 frames afterwards
It's only 4f active
It leaves an extended hurtbox
It doesn't combo from long range pokes, not even pure tip range
It's -8
It's stupidly slow to recover
Why is it OK for one of your most important buttons normally to be so useless it's just combo fodder here

brcing fafnir. gold bursting fafnir. throwing fafnir. dping fafnir. reversal supering fafnir. armoring fafnir. backdashng fafnir. you will never hit me with this gorilla move

>>538076348
This, but beak driver

>>538076348
What is the explanation for these parts of the hurtbox anyways? Slower 5H buttons with so many downsides are always big disjoints designed to be used for counterpoking in GG games. It still works the same way in Strive for similar moves.
Anji feels like a beta character they never bothered to update, alongside his lack of smear frames and vfx.

Hold that or play a better character shitters

It actually blocks automatically.
I release the stick, put in neutral and it automatically blocks.
how i disable the automatic block
all i want to do is the megafisto

>>538089565
it's a true blockstring, no gaps, you can't take any action except YRC or burst during a blockstring, so it keeps you blocking. you still have to block high/low correctly though.

>>538091647
>you can't take any action except YRC or burst during a blockstring
during blockstun*
not all blockstrings are true blockstrings, if they have a gap you can act, but you'll probably get counterhit unless the gap is big enough

With win-streaks existing only until Plat 1, Plat 1 has become the new floor 10. It's the largest collection of players in Ranked (and will only keep growing) and has enormous diversity of skill because rank is character specific. You end up with game experts on their off characters that can't quite make it to diamond but have enough game knowledge to beat casual players on fundamentals alone. In about a month (without any changes) Plat 1 will likely have over 1/3 of ranked matches.

The first game was an extremely mediocre metroidvania that didn't deserve any of its hype so I'm 90% sure it's just astroturfed, talk about real games

Real games, like REV2!

>>538047310
Yeah, I said I win more. Read, nigger, read.
Or well, win an even amount. If I graphed it it'd probably be an even win rate at bleow my elo and 200 above, but in-between it dips

Hollow Knight is popular because it's cheap and the kids haven't played the original metroidvanias. HK really isn't special at all.

god I fucking hate bugs

i loved hollow knight, and silksong is such a fun expansion of it. not as good as Guilty Gear Strive though ;)

i am fucking trans btw forgot to mention that not sure if it matters

Wow a decent looking nude mod

Is ranked broken? I just finished my placement match and im gold 2.
For context ive had a cheatbox for a year now so i can electric in tekken.
Finally decided to finally switch to my cheatbox for TK and kara with the ranked update so haven't played till I felt comfortable in training.
Anyways im dropping combos left and right. Feel like im fighting the cheatbox more than my opponent(no balls to kara or tk in a real fight yet).
And still managed this placement. I've only hit celestial 2 or 3 times and that was in first year. I legit suck.

>>538112417
Gold isn't that good so you do in fact suck.

I was watching Maxdood playing and it was putting me to sleep, I booted up SonicFox and Zane's stream and it looks a lot more fun
That said I don't care for capeshit or tag

Why does this game have the reputation of being “trannycoded”? Is it just the Bridget thing? I don’t want to get into a fighting game with a shit community.
>inb4 “thats all of them”

took me an hour and a half, but learned the fraudbunker loops, gotta take them online soon =)

>>538121528
Bridget's a big part of it but anime fighting games attract trannies in general and a number of Strive's top players are trannies.

Tokon looks... graphically way worse than any modern 3D Arc Sys game? I don't get it? Isn't this the next big game?

>>538121528
>Why does this game have the reputation of being “trannycoded”?
It's just the Bridget thing
>Is it just the Bridget thing?
Oh.
>I don’t want to get into a fighting game with a shit community.
That's all of them
>>inb4 “thats all of them”
Oh.

>>538124080
100 character roster. trust the plan.

>>538121528
Dont listen to the other soive shill, half the playerbase are trannies mostly due to pandering with bridget and testament just check reddit and twitter. You give them an inch and they take a mile

Aba is you

>>538121528
fighting games in general are already pretty autistic
add anime on top of that, you're gonna have a high ratio of trannies. The bridget phenomena is a symptom, not the cause

>I don’t want to get into a fighting game with a shit community.
You should keep every online "community" at arms length.

>>538124080
I think it looks way better than strive and granblue bh. Might just be the colors though

>>538125963
it def looks better than granburan

>>538124080
The animations clearly have less time put into them, probably because they want to churn out many characters.

>>538125963
It's probably the most consistent in its presentation. The character, stages, gameplay effects, UI, and menus all compliment each other.

While the Strive characters clearly have a ton of effort put into them, most of the ancillary visuals look like they were duct-taped on as an afterthought. (Something I hope they'll improve in 2.00)

>>538051454
Trooncel.

>>538121528
Overwhelming majority of playerbase are troons,gays and weirdos in general so yeah thats why.

chat i really don't like tokon, it's dbfz all over again. Super chaotic and samey and i can see myself getting bored after a week. What do i do now?

>>538128332
Your only choices are Tokon and SF6. Tekken and Strive shat the bed.

>>538115761
>how do I frc into specials consistently
look up the window on dustloop and grind it out in training
some are 2 frame windows

>every nine slayer just airwaves forward and none ever fds
>constant 6p heat knuckles and 6p heavenlies or just raws
What is with these guys, I hit a may with 9 6ps and a row and in the request they still spam jumpins.
I was surprised people knew decent combos in gold but people don't fd or adapt at all down here.

Where's the update that makes you not match with the same nigga 20 times in a row

thinkin bout trannies

>>538130623
It can stay i like it. Anytime anyone runs after one match and we reque into each other I chuckle.

It is such a tragedy that LordKnight has convinced these j.S/Yozansen spamming monkeys they're actually good at the game and playing a hard character

>>538131383
I don't even care about j.S and Yozansen
The parry/5p/throw/backdash on wakeup is what gets me
They will literally do everything but block

I can't win with slayer

how do you deal with jam +R puffbaalls. Why does she get a horizontal dp that confirms into a combo with high damage and knockdown plus FB cards

>>538132156
I never had to learn because 99% of Jam players are total retards that I win against no matter what.

Is every character going to fight at exactly the same range again? Dooberz didn't have zoners or anything did it?

>>538132439
Tokon nooch looks more like strive, or granblue with more air options

>>538132934
dbfz = trash
gbvs = trash
strive = trash
tokon = trash?

>>538130623
What if it's just Celestial again under the hood but with a forced requeue

>>538133221
They all play very different from each other, regardless if you think they're trash. You can post without being retarded anon, I believed in you.

>>538134289
Would bet money on this, it's 100% just another tower lobby that's invisible. The rematching will be either you not getting into the 32/32 room or not waiting for another game to finish before matching.

>>538134475
>You can post without being retarded anon
you're right, you said tokon looks like strive so it's DEFINITELY trash, no question

Why is it that when others dodge a move with backdash they get a full punish but when I do it i can't even get a fucking 2P in

>>538130623
you need players for that

>>538134475
Why are you replying to the lazy reddit bait

It's kinda distracting how S3 and S4 are overall higher quality and even a somewhat different artstyle than earlier Strive desu

My impression of Marvel players is they want to spaz around the screen and instantly skip neutral straight to offense. I hope Ghost Rider is disgustingly top tier, need him to have MVC2 Cable level zoning to counteract this.

>>538121528
Have you every heard of the term "community leeches"? That's more than 90% of the Strive community. Most of them didn't play Fighting Games until Strive. They didn't attend tournaments until Strive, and they didn't even cosplay as the characters... until Strive.

it's not just Strive either. The FGC as a whole has become a safe haven for outsiders and everyone one in charge loves it while everyone that has something to say about it gets cancelled from the community. The most leech shit I have ever seen in from community came from the FGC - hosting tournaments for non-fighting games gamers with zero interest in fighting games, but, letting them in and paying them simply because they are a big twitch content creator. And making these event "invite only". Literally disgusting how open this community is about letting others leech off of them

why do I have to learn so many combos on Slayer

>>538137516
define 'so many'

>>538137516
Do you really hate "combat depth" that much?

>>538137764
define 'combat depth'

>>538137632
errrrrrm, more than 1 fS and 1 cS combos
>>538137764
I am just lazy with combos, and the way you learn them is inherently boring because instead of building your own you just look up bnbs online and spam them in lab a bunch

>>538137764
slayer routing is not that hard, it all ultimately leads back into pilebunker loops which my friend new to the game was doing consistently in 30 minutes

>>538137832
Okay.

Arc System Games THEN
QUANTUM PHYSICS
Human Advancements

Arc System Games NOW

That's combat depth in arc system works history but there was still a LIMITATION. Arc System can only see 2 dimensions (versus game with only left/right high/low mix) while Capcom can see in 8 dimensions (versus games with access to the full dimensional plain see: MvC2/MvC3)

>>538137304
you wrote all that just to say
>new players bad
didn't even mention trannies, which was the original question. Train your AI better next time

>>538121528
top 8s usually consist of all trannies, 9 out of 10 players in lobbies have "TRANS RIGHTS! :3" in their profile comment

>>538138714
You don't have to be a tranny to leech onto fighting games. it's the norm in the entire FGC now. The games aren't even targeted at fighting games players. And soon I bet non-fighting game players will start making fighting games and you will all slop it up even if its bad lmao

>>538138410
>Arc System Games NOW
>Elementary School Teacher
sounds like someone hates solid fundie based games

>>538135606
my impression was that everyone wants to spam big buttons and assists from far away to fish for one hit that leads into a 30 second combo

Strive is frustrating to play but it doesn't make me want to scream like Dix does so I guess that's a win.

>>538139267
That's like saying if Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton just suddenly stop giving a shit about science and all the advancements they made to become a school teacher you'd be okay with it.

Arc System Works were the INVENTORS OF FIGHTING GAME DEPTH. Read that out to yourselves. That's what they were. They pushed the genre forward along with other 90s developers. Only to end up making games for your Slave Masters who can't comprehend your work - America. Look at this way, a lot of people didn't give a shit about Science. However, as soon as you put someone with a personality in front of the camera, like, Neil Degrasse Tyson, suddenly the mass audience looks your way.

I am an appreciator of Video Game Technical Depth Advancements. You're not. You're a casual. Simply as that. Arc System left that field of work behind.

Alright, so the trannies are localised to twitter and reddit, that’s fine because I don’t use any of those platforms. The game looks cool to me and since it’s my first fighter I have no frame of reference to think it’s shit and I’ll just hang here for advice. You guys are chill right?

Right?

>>538139948
that's just fraud cope

95% of strive players are so sad, you answer their simple, retarded, and misinformed gameplans and they break down and cry and piss and shit their pants and leave after 0-1, sometimes they put their controller down before the the first loss even
they are all like this until you get to diamond, but even a lot of diamond ranks are fragile like this. are strivers just not cut out for fighting games?

i'm not denying that is its own form of faggotry, but all because you are getting completely disgraced doesn't mean you should put your controller down like a bitch
at least try your best, giving up is just sad

>>538140712
Oh shit, nevermind thats fucking egregious. Tried street fighter but it inputs are unresponsive on console, tried tekken and actually liked the gameplay, but boring character designs. Granblue is dead apparently. What the fuck do I play?

>why aren't my opponents rematching me
are you retarded
your opponents might as well be training dummes with the skill disparity
you should be able to relate to them since you're also dodging your own rank

>>538143630
>go and play with your own ranks
i'm a believer that to really improve, you need to play against people who are better than you, people who are at your level, and people who are worse than you
>>538143670
i'm not dodging my own rank permanently, i need more practice on the character i'm playing though so i started over on a new account

every character has its own rank
just shut up man thinking you're the main character and everyone should adhere to you, you're exactly the type of soiver that you say you hate

finally got to gold with slayer............. I thought Id be a silver forever...............................................

how can auto combos deal more damage

>>538146262
a strive killer will never exist because fighting game devs all have a genetic condition that force them to add dumb shit to their games

>>538146262
auto combos max out the combo limit gauge really quickly, they will end up doing more damage
