yeah, i'm thinking it's time for some good ass xrd

newfags leave this board please, its time to discuss real video games

>>538290232
Has videogames.com ever commented about Soive or Xturd?? I think not

why it call mappa hunch and not mappa punch

it's mah pahunch

because mappa has a hunch you are going to eat a ch neutral skip right about now...

I thank soivers for killing the "johnny is hard" meme, this even the most retarded slav can play this child molester, and in xrd netplay there are a lot of them

I need an economic overthrow

tokon feels like sloppy autocombo babby normiecore kusoge made to substitute fifa and cod for the average dudebro tiktoker. Also the movement is boring, when everyone can fly and do crazy shit out of the wazoo with the simple press of a button it doesn't feel special and cool.
It's fun when there are fast characters who trade speed for something else and slow af character as well, it's the difference in playstyle that makes it interesting. When everyone is special no one is

>>538294216
this, but soive except it doesn't have good movement

>>538294216
I agree but it was really awful to not have an air dash/float in MVC2/3. A lot of the have nots didn’t really have good enough movement tools and strengths to make up for it, characters like MVC3 Hulk are an outlier.

>>538294216
>babby normiecore kusoge made to substitute fifa and cod for the average dudebro tiktoker
but enough about soive

Why does Axl get a reversal and I don't

>>538297032
Why don't you have chronomancy too nevermind a reversal

>>538297032
he's an honest legacy character, he plays real guilty gear

>>538294216
Doom looks slow.

game so bad made me try 3d fighters after being a Guilty Gear fanboy for a decade

yup, potemkin is still overpowered

>>538299250
Why did you let the grappler approach?

>>538299342
I didn't. He hit me from the other side of the screen.

>>538299576
You were predictable and got punished

>>538297032
come on xrd axl(I assume you're talking about xrd, that's the only game in which he has a reversal), is severely outclassed by a lot of characters such as Raven, Faust, Sin, Venom, dizzy and John Money. Let him have this one sole singular thing that he has above those fraud chars

>>538301250
He's got a reversal super in both +R and Strive bro

Yeesh... these soivers be soivin, huh? Haha, feels good to be a Central FictionGAWD, gotta admit.

>>538301430
oh right my b I was thinking of METERLESS reversals, his DP ain't half bad in Xrd, generous hitbox, recovery is neither ch state nor airborne, not even crouching so it's not SUPER unsafe on block, 9f isn't the fastest reversal in the world but it'll do the job, also not air unblockable which is very strange

>>538301768
I didn't ask about any of that stuff

>>538301768
a zoner shouldn't have a DP, fuck axl players

sunday evenin takin a ride up the crick to see unca for some weekend xrd... yep, world's changed a lot and not for the better... dern soivers wunna undahstand I reckon...

i'm not gonna drop strive until i mastered it and reached vanquisher with all my mains and placed at least top 8 on a online bracket
this was my first fightan and i'm not gonna leave until i learned everything
it's like changing your uni course when you have 3 exams left

soivers try and beat the "strive was my first fighter" challenge: impossible

Stole some soivers bitch... bitches just can't control themselves around a BlazblueGAWD, I guess... Felt about it at first but honestly? If she datin a soivah, she already ain't got a man in her life as I see it

>>538304439
some of them played mortal kombat first

this game was made by people that hate a defender having a presence during pressure and mixups

>>538305262
if you think defense is bad in strive its a skill issue

>>538305262
pick a character with a dp and say that again

>>538305678
everyone should have a dp desu

i need to learn how to deal with DPs because i am losing so many interactions to failed DP baits

Strive... Now that was a hardcore game...

>>538293696
Johnny combos are hard but Johnny just doesn't need them to be retarded on netplay and win.

>>538306530
it's insane how much engagement ragebait gets on the steam forums
this post probably has multiple clown awards

>>538307361
it wasn't ragebait, the post was genuine, before strive, guilty gear had a reputation for being a sweaty tryhard game
people's perception that it was really difficult kept most people away from it, but then strive came along and daisuke told everyone this game will be beginner friendly, so you got posts like that who were scared of the real guilty gear players
their worry was unwarranted though, they got to mash away on the lower floors while the guilty gear players quickly made it to celestial, giving the new players a safe environment to learn the game and catch up

EU xrd lobby:

>>538308213
https://steamcommunity.com/app/3787240/discussions/0/597408771468235879/
It's a post on the Tokon forums saying to ban people who play Strive from Tokon so that people who don't know how to play fighting games won't lose matches.
It's very obviously ragebait and as I predicted it has 2 clown awards.

>>538308571
well my point still stands, i saw multiple posts just like that when strive came out

>>538308214
Can east coast join?

If I block one thing Slayer does it's game over

>>538308696
I don't remember when jester farming became a thing but there's a chance those were also ragebait.

strive would die immediately if they added a ranked mode to xrd

>>538309481
xrd and strive don't even share the same audience, strive is a baby game

>>538306994
well he doesn't need the super duper optimal stuff, even the basic stuff hits like a ton of bricks and he has a lot of training wheels
both level 2 and 3 mist finers stabilising combos with their tumble, depending or wallstick on the version used and not being have to crouch confirm anything, at all

>>538309481
um... anon...

>>538309713
Yeah because Xrd doesn't have an audience lol

>>538310012
nice try soiver

this has been the cover image for strive on my steam since launch

are we being raided? this thread seems worse than usual

>>538311260
Yes.

>>538311260
maelis called on his eucf discord buddies because he's getting raped in strive ranked so decided to lash out in the thread

>>538306530
I actually see people say things like this with what seems to be sincerity. Like when I see someone asking what fighting game they should get into as a complete beginner I see them describe Strive as 'scary' or something, and people don't even recommend Strive on the basis that it's simple, always recommending SF6 instead. I do think SF6 is probably better for an absolute beginner, but I do feel like Strive has been out long enough that, at least for people on the outside from GG as a whole, they view it as relatively hardcore as modern fighting games go with sincerity, which is weird to think.

>>538311850
do they though? nothing else boosts scrubs like strive does
strive is the only fighting game i can think of that a brand new fg player can pick up and squeeze out a decent winrate in

>>538312171
I feel like I see it on occasion. I think they misunderstand what the game is like, but I see them say it anyway.

>>538311850
Strive is intimidating because you don't get to play neutral until you're an intermediate player. Low level gameplay is basically nothing but RPS spam.

>>538312331
probably residual reputation from old guilty gear

>>538311850
one game has modern mode and the other doesnt its pretty simple

>>538311850
The most vocal opinion about Strive out in the wild I see is that it's a retarded baby game for (s)mashers
I don't think I've ever seen someone describe it as scary or hard

>>538311850
Not to say Strive isn't a baby game but I think it can really suck for a new player because of how random the matches can feel and how snowbally the game is. A side effect of the game being designed for anyone to be able to win is that this means new players of the same skill level can just luck (unluck?) into getting corner carried into wallbreak into getting hit while the opponent is in positive bonus then dying.
SF6 doesn't have as much built in easy to access oppressiveness for brand new players to get raped by through no fault of their own.
I don't think Strive will ever get a reputation as a hard game, but it has gotten a reputation as a very unfair poorly designed game.

>>538313989
>SF6 doesn't have as much built in easy to access oppressiveness for brand new players to get raped by through no fault of their own.
Lol
Lmao even

So, I decided to try Strive out and I quickly landed in this Vanquisher rank. Is that high? I basically just had to learn some basic-ass mix and I won every game and... ha ha, come off it babe I'm trying to ask a question over here... ha ha, I know you love BlazblueGAWD cock babe, but you're going to have to wait haha.... anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, so I'm like, yellow in Central Fiction, so I was kinda surprised that I seem godlike at this game without even trying? Y'all... you ain't even good at your own game, huh? I guess CF is just so much more in depth and technical that going from it to Strive is like going from driving a Formula 1 car to a station wagon, haha... alright, I got some babes I picked up at my last local that need some attention guys... yeah, they came in with some Strivers, but it didn't take long before they found their way over to the Blazblue set up... y'all know how it is, ha ha. Take it easy Strivers.

Do you think that burger joint markets itself as having a burger so good it stopped Ramlethal's crusade to wipe out humanity?

When did /ggg/ become a larping thread?

Can someone post some Baiken titties to get this thread going again

>>538312374
>low level gameplay is nothing but RPS spam
This is better than what SF6 often devolves into at mid to intermediate level, infinite reaction checks with a bit of RPS mixed in. You get to do a little bit of movement in Strive in any given match, if someone's just hopping at you over and over again in SF6 you better anti air them every single time or you plausibly just threw the round off of endless 50/50s

>>538317610
I dunno when did Xrd get revealed again?

>>538318559

Some of the strategies people use in platinum are really weird. They don't really work on me even though I'm also in platinum, so I'm not sure who they're for.

>>538318559
Built for Leo Whitefang

Playing older titles made me appreciate and dislike strive more as a new gg fan. I love characters such as faust johnny venom now but uhh xrd is more fun to play than strive desu. Maybe it's because i'm playing with people i know and not randoms from online play but trying to hit a instakill after getting beat on purpose is so fun.

>>538322856
They’re all different games, I try not to compare a fighting game to another unless I fucking hate it. then I do it to shit on it

>>538325640
>all
xx and xrd are not different games, they have slight differences between them but the two are interchangeable in the sense that someone who is good at one of them can pick up the other and be good at it also

>>538319059
People aren't using strategies in platinum they're just holding on for dear life.

>>538326187
Not different games and slight differences my ass you're completely delusional about the way the two play completely differently.

I like Strive and you can't stop me from liking it

I'm trans btw. Don't know if that matters.

>keep getting matched with the same person 5+ times in a row
It's always someone actually competent. Is there just nobody else playing fucking Strive ranked sometimes? Let me go back to farming rank points on free players.

>>538334047
mmmm... boob

The reason a character like Venom can never be fun to play against or to watch in Soive is that the game is too simplified for zoners to ever be cool.
They simply don't have enough zoning tools, so their optimal gameplay is reduced to making you slowly dashblock up to them while they loop the same couple options, then if you get close enough they'll throw their one abnormally good button or do a safe setup, all in hopes of creating distance so they can do it all over again (unless you're Johnny, who is also lame, but he's different in that his aim isn't specifically to play keep-away, it just coincidentally happens that he can fuck you up from 2 time zones away).

>>538334796
i bet you suck at strive

In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair

>>538334796
venom was never a zoner, he could zone alright if you were skilled with him but his main strength was using them as oki and pressure tools

>>538334959
everyone except like 3 people suck at strive, and 2 of them don't even post

So far, ragequitters in ranked have been exclusively Nago, Zato, Baiken and Johnny players for me

Remember when this button actually got you fucking killed for randomly throwing it out

>>538340194
you clearly haven't thought about the dash block chud

>>538340194
yeah it's broken
I remember thinking to myself during slayer's release that blocking his 2D would put you in the stupidest situation in the entire game

>>538340286
It keeps beating my pokes because unlike what I fucking have it doesn't extend his hurtbox

>Activate cS when i'm literally in throw range
>Still get fS because pressing cS with momentum pulls your activation back
This is grubble tier retardation

We haven't let Canadians have one Stanley Cup for 32 years.

>>538343343
Except every single notable player in every single winning formation has been Canadian for the said 32 years

I think FGs need to revolutionize wake up interactions. We already have Oki. Why not Dokey or even Artichokey for those who managed to truly master the new oki-dokey-artichokey setups?

what the fuck this ain't /hoc/
if we're gonna be a shitty spee general we should at least be /heem/

>>538343438
Not a single Canadian team.

>>538343831
All canadian players, Stanley Cup is nothing but a ways of taking burger funds and giving it to skillful canadians while both sides feel good about it

>>538343920
Still a cope and no excuse. Toronto the city of Mid, managed to win the GF back in '19.

>>538344140

So how did my fellow Strivers think of Tokon

>>538346897
>tag fighter

>>538346897
i hate marvel and marvel related things. i don't care what yipes' black ass says that shit is slop.

>>538346897
The movement was way too fast for my liking.

>>538346897
i haven't watched any gameplay outside the original reveal. it looks fun enough. like granblue with better movement. I'm just not into modern arcsys titles or superheroes anymore to want to play it.

>>538326251
Not true, they are using strategies. The strategies just don't make sense.
The match that inspired that post was against a May who kept doing super jump and then attacking on the way down. Then he would jump cancel and do another attack on the way down. He missed hit confirms multiple times because he was just tunnel visioning on his weird pogo strategy.

>>538351268
This reminds me of the multiple Baiken's I've faced who's entire game plan broke down because I could consistently 6P IAD j.s and IAD yousanzen

>>538354717
That's at least a skill check.
This May player was just doing something that straight up didn't work.

How do we look? Not cute

I like the transsexual

And it will STILL beat Gunflame.

>>538347820
Yes Tokon is a tag fighter. Is there anything else you'd like to know?

>>538289645
you sir have just won the internet today! take my upvote

>>538357878
nothing else anyone would need to know

who are the 3 good strive players here? there's sneed and...

>>538360771
just look at the last tournament results
alternatively: me and whoever I allow to take a round off me

>>538360771
Me but don't look at my rating page, I've been on a losing streak

>>538346897
Its DBFZ 2, unironically. Its probably the only tag fighter, let alone fighter that has a 1:1 skill carry-over from DBFZ. Same combo structure, same movement, same kind of "mix," the difference is you dont have to worry about full screen ToDs (yet).

>>538362136
which eceleb did you get this opinion from?

Why the hell my abare never works? I know they gonna throw me, I press 2P, they throw me.

this nigga gettin strikethrowed

>>538365303
I say that and look like that

>>538364532
0 frame startup, also you are human so you can't always be frame perfect

>>538326187
I think they are very different games but you won't be able to have a good healthy conversation about that anywhere online. Certainly your skills transfer over, it would be weirder for them not to like in strive but that doesn't make them only slightly different.

What character should I pick in Xrd if I really like Nago

>>538367472
Elphelt

>>538367472
Sin unironically. Nago stole his gimmick like their lot always do

>>538367472
Yeah probably Sin
Also consider Slayer or Leo maybe but Sin is definitely where like 70% of the ideas for Nago came from

>>538356172
actually a good change, in neutral you can just call assist before whiffing a move and get rewarded, while it makes pressure less cancerous (can't react to someone jumping out by calling anti-air assist)

>>538367472
Nago is just a tanky version of Sin without the bulk
If you want to be a tanky character and shit out damage then the other choice is Kum

>>538346897
It looks slow

>>538356172
The reply he added makes him seem paranoid

Kinda related but im hoping tokon siphons away some of the creepy american players from strive cause I have no interest in it and marvel deserves it

>>538365303
what do you call oki?

>>538372545
say okizemi but in the most insulting chinese accent you can

>>538372649
Like this?

the biggest retcon of soive

soivers are fucking trans

>>538369349
xrd sin is such a weird character, maybe it's because of the characters I played before him but I find his gattlings to be really weird, limited and clunky

>>538375561
Its to compensate for special to special cancels. I really like how he can do 3K>6H, its my favorite DP bait

>>538375561
His gatlings look mostly normal to me but I've never played him so maybe I'm missing something.
I feel the same way about Baiken though, the holes in her gatling chains throw me off when I play her, not being able to 2P or 2K>2D, f.S>2D, 6P>f.S etc, and 2S and 2H being slow and not comboing normally etc, makes me drop confirms or stand there like a moron on block when I autopilot a normal string. She definitely doesn't need more though. Also her 6K is throw immune on startup but not during the active frames so if you actually meaty with it they can throw you on wakeup, that's just fucking weird.

>>538376254
3k or 3p? but yeah his awkward gattlings are there to offset special>special stuff he has. I miss when gattlings were a balancing factor

>>538377743
Its 3K, the weird diagonal stickpoke that has a disjointed hitbox. It can gatling to 6H but its mostly used to stuff DPs

>>538360771
I am good for my rank

Hello my fellow niggers

>>538375212
correct, I'm fucking one right now and it's a heavenly experience I can't lie

why is it always that the lowest ranked players are the laggiest
how am i supposed to beat this 3rd worlder anji playing the game on his phone

why there's black May but no white Nago?

>>538383474
Black may,elphelt etc. is just a fetish content for people like me i think but i love basic white girl aba too.

>>538384136
>two stars
What's so hard about her? Just transform and spam broken moves ffs.

>>538384998
Managing a guage is excruciatingly difficult please understand

>>538384998
Playing her properly with a raging boner due to her dick sucking lips, voice, and fat ass

>>538391175
TRUUUU

so faust's afro completely negates 6p upper body invuln?
jarvis, line up every faust player and shoot them in the head

>>538399694
i don't think about points, if anything i want to lose them so i get more opponents i can crush

Had a 2 hour nightmare tilt session last night where I ended at +10 DR. Never play this game while angry.

I had a rare chance to actually play a couple different Asukas with my pocket Unika yesterday, I remember people were saying Unika's laser special fucks up Asuka but I don't see it. It's too slow and gets stuffed too easily. It does mean he can't can't just shit out a cube fullscreen to hold the neutral and do stuff safely from behind it, but it's more the threat of laser locking an option than laser ever actually doing much.
Her 2SS (low laser) is pretty good on the matchup since it goes like half screen, but it's not too dominant since you also won't have a chance to use it against his pressure and even in neutral it's telegraphed and not hard for him to avoid or stuff.

I still think it's a Unika-favored matchup, but I don't feel like any of the stuff people talked about here works. Well, 6P dipper does work, but only as well as any low profile does against him.

>venomfag spams stinger
>I preemptively jump, IAD my button
>I evade another stinger mid air dash
>and eat a ch 6P
how am I supposed to counter his zoning again?

>>538395371
to a degree, some characters have moves that beat rising j.d (gold 2S, aba 2S) that have hitboxes higher than the afro. some characters also slink their head to the ground during 6P like ram and bed that can avoid it

>>538403672
>Throw a cube to hold down the neutral
You mean the cube that you can just delete with 236H or with any normal?
fullscreen cubes are really fake unless he throws a bunch in quick succession to trap you (even then they're still relatively fake since you can just normal cancel out of attacking one), and even if he does they will also lose to a single really active, long range or advancing move.

>>538404475
idk, forward jump, try not pressing a button on approach after an air dash, and if you block a 6P he'll probably go for carcass which you then then forward jump over and CH him or go for a disjointed poke / far reaching low during said carcass startup if you have the privilege or having one / that starts up quick enough

>>538405282
thank you gamer

tokon's music fucking sucks

>>538405207
did you stop reading right there and not get to what was right after
throwing one set of random cubes isn't meant to win neutral, it just lets him freely and safely do certain moves from behind it (if you don't have a way of punishing him from far)

Max said Tokon is mid

>>538404475
>spams stinger
not a real venomfag

>>538405618
The vocals in Iron Man's theme genuinely sound like AI. I don't think they are, but they sound like it.

>>538408203
max also stole tech from a bedridden gamer and never mentioned it came from him

>>538408203
I am convinced the only fighting games Max actually likes are MvCI and KI2013

>>538407583
No, I did read everything, but it seems like the main assumption of how the MU goes comes from the cube(s) zoning you out and the speed of 236H.
>it just lets him freely and safely do certain moves from behind it
The point is that it doesn't, he can't freely and safely do stuff from behind them if you can delete them at any point and cancel into your other moves out of them.
>if you don't have a way of punishing him from far
Why is there an "if" here, you said you're playing Unika, there's no "if", you "do" have ways to punish him from afar.

Unika's ground presence is so much stronger than his, and if he starts jumping and throwing spells from the air this means he doesn't get to recover mana, if he stays grounded you have multiple things to stop him from doing what he wants, even if he throws out cubes to zone you, 236H, 236K, f.S/2S~S, f.S/2S~2S, f.S/2S~5H, 5P/2P or 5K into 236H, 236K, 214S, jump and dash cancels.
As long as you're not really bad at reacting to neutral cubes and know your spacing enough, all it really takes is for him to run out of mana or get bad luck with spells for you to snowball the round.

>>538408203
I don't care what max says but clayton says there needs to be more variance since your combos and extensions are so railroaded so I agree with him

>>538404475
you know stinger has a lot of recovery and is - right? You being mid range of him puts pressure on him using it or not, IADing is still a great option against it you just have to use it when he's not expecting it. Otherwise vary your jump in attempts, low profile it, dash block.

It's more like the auto combos from tokon desu. You can do full combos and run oki just by mashing square. Hell, it's even worse because it auto blocks mixups for you.

too lazy to make a video about it on console, but it was Ram's OTG normal > rock
didn't try with other stuff but I'd imagine it's easy to see with any special that has a lot of active frames
off throw, if you hit the OTG later than frame ~15, the opponent recovers a frame earlier (or 2, sometimes???) so whatever you do is slightly less plus

>>538448741
Spin loses to lows
Kou has 10x more recovery
All Anji players past and present are gelded in real life

stylish mode is actually pretty neat
it's completely nonviable in serious play, not being able to chose what gatlings you do dooms it on its own, you're effectively incapable of doing pressure and can only do the most basic combos, and then you take 20% bonus damage on top of everything else, but they put a lot of work into the autocombo system and it is actually pretty neat, it tries to adapt to the situation without relying on artificial homing properties and shit like in DBFZ etc, and there's a bunch of specific changes to moves like anything with iframes loses them on the first active frame, anything with plus frames has extra recovery even if you do the motion normally, some launches are worse etc.
It works really well for what it is, a mode that lets a couple friends that have never touched a fighting game in their life pick up a controller and mash and get a feel for the game while cool stuff happens on screen, with enough limitations and weaknesses that a new player will very quickly want to graduate to playing for real. There's a reason not a single person ever used it competitively, unlike SF6.

>>538448151
it blocks highs and mids if the stick is neutral, but you still have to down back to block lows. It actually will block crossups automatically, but it really doesn't help that much since crossups aren't that important in Xrd, Blitz covers obvious left/rights already and every character that regularly does crossup mix can also do high/low/throw in those situations anyway. It is a real if not massive advantage but is pretty insignificant compared to the massive limitations.

I am the better Dizzy player.

How am I supposed to play Asuka? When I watch other people play he looks like a suffocating zoner, but when I play I just die

The evil is back

>>538454934
Follow this pattern
Spell>bookmark>recover mana
K mana and S mana are preferred over P mana
Use meter for YRC and full order super when you have a bad hand or no spells but do have 50% meter, you can use particle sphere in critical situations where you don't have mana or want a wall break hkd
Burst is very valuable, DS can help too, YRC and DS are the only real defensive options you have
DO NOT try to zone with him, mana recovery rate is range dependent, the farther away you are from the opponent the less mana you recover, only zone with him if extremely necessary or if you're sure you'll be able to close the round with it
In combos, you need to manage resources in-between combos and pressure, Asuka's spells are all plus on block allowing him to continue pressure as long as he has resources
You can try to bookmark new spells, recover more mana, or change TC while they are up in the air after a cube hits
The best spells for this are MS Processing, Delayed, Delayed Tardus, Accipiter, Bit Shift, and RMS
This is very important, use 6K, has very good sinnergy with most spells, 6K into howling is a true blockstring, into delayed they can get you with a 6P, anything slower they can mash, 6K counterhit combos into anything except arpeggio
Also, use arpeggio wisely, it's very good but also very slow, use it when they're in blockstun from another cube like delayed or Tardus, or from afar where you're safe, if you were able to get Arpeggio out it usually means you have some time to breathe and manage resources or go for a mix, though some characters like Millia are very mobile and will try to get over you so watch out
6H is a slow and strong overhead, use sparingly and try to be unpredictable with it, if they've shown they can't react to it go to town
Best staves are accelerate, gravity rod shooting and low pass filter, you get an instant overhead with low pass and j.d
Memorize what each spell does, especially support ones

>>538453436
Whenever I see Dizzy my body loses control and ovulates

That's extremely relatable.
Unfortunately I simply do not believe there are any femanons in /ggg/.

>>538458678
How can you find it relatable if (YOU) are not a femanon, huh?!

>>538458678
What board has the highest femanon concentration? Asking for a friend

>>538458950
Because Dizzy also triggers my instinct to reproduce.

>>538459004
Almost certainly /cgl/.
I'm sure there are plenty of femanons on this board as well but they'll be in gacha generals. Guilty Gear is played exclusively by men and failed men.

>>538454934
Sticking to TC1 while you're learning the basics is perfectly fine. It keeps things simple and you still have guard crush to open people up. You don't need to overcomplicate things unless you specifically picked asuka just to meme on people

>As long as you're not really bad at reacting to neutral cubes and know your spacing enough, all it really takes is for him to run out of mana or get bad luck with spells for you to snowball the round.
I do vaguely agree and think it's a small part of the reason the matchup is favored, but also you're just saying "just survive until he runs out of resources bro" which is like... Bro.

>Because I'm speaking in general...?
Sure, but we were obviously talking about the MU as Unika - Asuka.
>but also you're just saying "just survive until he runs out of resources bro" which is like... Bro.
No, what I'm saying is that once you force him to run out of resources, the round is pretty much yours.
If you got in before that, then that also works, since most combos will drain a huge chunk of his mana too.

Man you weren't kidding. There are parts of it that are cool (intro, slap base) but over-all it feels like a mess / schizophrenic. I think people have generally set their expectations for this game too high; it's discussed in an almost messianic fashion like it's going to be the "one game" that will unite the entire FGC. Streamers and pro players making main game change declarations left and right, Leffen setting subathon goals at intervals in the 2500-5000 subs range. A lot of people are going to be very upset if it fails to gain traction like CotW, or they fumble it like Arcsys would.

its completely over

I'm too smart to mash now.

>>538499113
there's something weird about strive where everything is harder to react to than older games. overheads with the same or even slower frame data are harder to block for example. i think it has something to do with the special rollback netcode they made.

I would slashback that pussy (I have not played +R so I'm not sure what this means)

>>538513118
it means you dodged it

>>538513118
that's kind of gay

>>538510538
dude who the fuck are those people with kshue

>>538514296
who the fuck is kshue

Who's the best fraud in the game?

>>538513118
even people who play +R don't know what slashback means

>>538514860
Chaos, always has been and seemingly always will be.

>Some random tw*tter tr*nny that doesn't even compete??

This has to be a smear campaign

>>538519402
Witchhazel does compete.

We're relatively balanced I guess

>>538519756
Nearly 2500 for a local WW is actually crazy SF6 is redefining what a FG playerbase is in real time

>>538519962
To be fair Japan is unironically like 75% of the playerbase somehow

>>538519756

You get positive bonus for having less than 35% hp. Discuss

>>538519402
Strive in a nutshell

>>538523456
You don't need comeback mechanics like that in a game with the damage strive has

>>538523616
But I never get positive bonus because I lose too much. I want to experience the fun mechanic too

>>538523456
a very small, barely noticeable boost to meter gain MIGHT be acceptable as a comeback bonus
something as big as free positive bonus is retarded though

>>538523456
fuck you, you shouldn't be rewarded for losing

>>538510538
Isn't Killakobes the guy that's sucks off Blazblue at every opportunity? It feels wrong to see him as team UNI, I only have a passing familiarity with him, but I didn't even know he played UNI from that passing familiarity.

>>538524095
what if the meter gain on positive bonus was less?

It would be a lot more interesting if using a super for wall break only gave HKD but no positive bonus. It'd make a more meaningful choice between using a super to wallbreak or not using it to get the positive bonus.

>>538519027
>RedDitto beat his gun demons
Huh. When was the last time this happened? Month? Months?

>>538514337
the evo winner

>>538525587
I don't think it was designed with the idea of it being a choice. I like the idea of making wallbreak super less obnoxious but that change sounds too unbalanced in how hard it'd benefit and screw over some characters.

>>538525587
i dont' think there'd be a choice at all really. Some characters would prefer the HKD and others would just take the positive. Once you've decided which is best you'd just do that every time.

>>538528420
If they did do it they'd need to nerf meter gain hard because some characters would just use the super for hkd and then one blockstring later they're already back to 50 meter

>>538524095
for a comeback mechanic, a meter gain bonus is pretty tame, though I wouldn't personally like it
also making high defense/guts characters even tankier just automatically by hitting low health would be evil, would lead to retarded shit like low damage characters who already need two combos into wallbreak to kill Pot at 35% to need THREE
actually, considering his bulk, damage, and how he already shits meter, it'd probably make Pot go up a whole tier

This game has such cool character designs. Genuinely everyone stands out. I wanna learn it just so I can create art. How often does it go on sale?

>>538528748
It's often on sale but half the roster is sold separately. You can creampie your computer to pirate them, though.

>>538527510
they still have strive at evo?

>>538530128
Yeah it's kinda crazy when you think about it. It was the fourth most entered game at the tournament, and it was only 70 entrants below a brand new game that had a bunch of advertising
People really love it

>>538530589
>People really love it
i don't know about that one

>>538530589
don't forget that it had 600 players more than 5th place and almost 1000 more than 6th place. 4 years after launch too

>>538530685
>just because it's popular doesn't mean it's popular
what kind of cope is this

>>538528748
The designs are terrible. It is prohibitively expensive and already abandoned. Give up your dreams of art and return to your office cubicle.

>>538530939
wait, you actually think anyone likes strive? LOL

>>538528748
It goes on sale decently often. The DLC is gonna be the pricey part, but... You can use creamapi to get the DLCs for free with ZERO repercussions. I've been doing it since release and still no issues
>>538530589
>People really love it
It's kinda odd to think about, but yeah. The playerbase has been pretty loyal to the game since release and it's so distinct both visually and gameplay wise that it keeps people coming back. Biggest reason I still play the game is because it's visually the most beautiful fighting game by a large margin compared to anything else. The only ones that come close are games by the same creators

>>538531484

I advise you to listen to it.

if you exclude Japan this is pretty close to sf6. I am being 100% serious

Ain't no such thing as turns in this world. The only turn is the one you take for yourself.

strive is finally dead. it's over. we can play xrd again.

>>538541863
i've been playing xrd bro

>>538541586
I literally cant press when I am blocking so its not my turn

>>538541937
you can IB throw

>>538541903
wtf how? I thought strive made xrd unplayable??

>>538541937
Just play Baiken in +R.

>>538542231

why do they eat the balls?

>>538544289
this is too hard to parse

>>538531484
Damn my pc is too shit to run strive so I’ll be playing on console. How essential is it to purchase dlc, can you still lab against the dlc characters even if you haven’t bought them?

>>538545081
>can you still lab against the dlc characters even if you haven’t bought them?
nope

>>538545081
>How essential is it to purchase dlc,
Not very unless you want to lab against a DLC characfter.
>can you still lab against the dlc characters even if you haven’t bought them?
no

>>538289127 (OP)
Since Saudi Arabia bought Evo, are all the GG pro players gonna get blacklisted?

why does strive have this insane pushback on every hit you do? also the jump is way more floaty and the dashjump doesn't give you nearly as much forward momentum. just a couple of many reasons why strive feels so clunky and bad to play

>>538548440
honest anti masher game

>>538548440
If anything it's too easy to stay right in the opponent's face in Strive rather than too difficult, so the hit pushback is fine in my book. I also think the jump feels fine but I don't like the lack of momentum from dashing.

>>538548440
part of it is that dash jump goes farther in xrd so you landed deeper and stayed in c.S range

>>538548440
>pushbback
because you have fewer gatlings and blockstrings don't last as long
>floaty jump
so it's easier to react to
>dashjump momentum
because the screen is more zoomed in

Different game plays different? That's crazy bro

>>538528748
Just get +R or Xrd Rev2 which both have better designs

>>538549436
>Different game plays different? That's crazy bro
obviously, i just prefer the more stronger movement in the old one, and blocking not being like FDing by default

>>538550227
>blocking not being like FDing by default
i meant hitting being like FDing, blocking is fine in this game, offense is strong so i get it, i just wish offense wasn't so limited

>Xrd
>better designs than anything
LOL

>>538550614
Xrd Elphelt's design was so liked that she has been a crossover character in multiple games. I don't see Strive Elphelt being a guest character anywhere.

>>538550614
The designs that changed drastically, like Ky and Elphelt for example, are just better in Xrd. And the designs that barely changed like Baiken and Jack-O are clearly objectively better. You can't really deny that the symbol on Baiken's clothes looks better being bigger in her idle pose or that Jack-O's red inner hair provides a better "background" for her clothes and face than the white in Strive.

Can we have a 3f ib window for 2.00 and um urc for 45 tension?

why did they take away slayer's cross shirt?

>>538551515
Censorship

i got into the twixo beta but i don't think i want to install chinese spyware just to play a mid team game

>>538550995
A lot of the Xrd chars have been in other games, Xrd May was in like 5 other games if I recall correctly.
Strive May has only been in like 1 korean gacha in the last 4 years.

>>538548440
>why is strive strive
i don't know.

>>538552075
>had to start within f.S range
>spent 50 meter to do fuckall damage with no HKD
the point of my post was to complain about movement being worse and the game feeling clunkier, not sure what the point of your clip is

>>538552340
>the point of my post was to complain
we know, sis

>>538552051
there was some game I forgot the name of recently that had themed costumes foe faust may baiken and of course bridget

>>538550614
Xrd designs are homosexual. Look at Ky, sin and axl

it's basically out already

>>538557283
What Did He Mean By This?

>>538551441
I've heard people unironically want a 3-6 frame window for IB. Why? Why not just make it 8 frames like it had always been?

>>538557869
Anything more than 3 or 4 wouldnt be possible without system wide changes

>>538557283
yea but 2xko is free

>>538558094
If you want it for 2.00, isn't that the time for system wide changes?

>>538558280
I just don't believe in the possiblity of Arcsissy dismantling strive and making it more like the old games which is what you are describing

god damn aba is growing on me bros
I didn't really expect it but it's actually her normal mode that feels so satisfying and rewarding to win neutral in

Apparently 2XKO is a truer Guilty Gear sequel than Strive was...

>>538560683
how do you figure

>>538560775
It's the word on the grapevine s'all. Been seeing it in the discords where real Gearheads commune.

>>538558718
Being more like the old games is more or a coincidence here, I just want IB to be a defensive mechanic that can be used by most players if they want which I feel would make both offense and defense more interesting. 8 seems like a good amount for that purpose. But this unfortunately requires them to design the game with using IB in mind, which it seems they haven't. This would also probably make IBFD extremely broken and I feel like they should change how it works or remove it, also making it coincidentally closer to the old games though I don't mean it to.

“There’s no reason for me to play a game where Potemkin is the best character.” - Leffen

>>538561532
He must be relieved to be playing a game where Happy Chaos is the best character then.

>>538561532
Potemkin is stupid good, but how can someone who plays Happy Chaos even utter the words that someone else is the best character in the game? How shameless can one faggot be?

>>538561696
He’s dropping Strive for 2XKO

Is NM ABA's gameplan really just praying to the heavens she gets a counterhit 5H

i'm trying 2xko
they are fucking mental if they think this game will be a success with casuals
lack of motions is the only concession this game makes, it is WAY harder than marvel babykon

no motion inputs, I don't wanna play it

genuinely, do you guys think marvel kills strive? I could see arcsys just not giving a fuck about strive after dropping marvel
the thought is kind of sad, I like strive this patch

tranny characters are piloted by genuinely mentally ill ragequitted individuals
chudd characters are piloted by conceited pricks
no one normal plays these games huh

Tried 2xko for the first time as a friend gifted me a code and this game isn't for me man. I don't even mind tag fighters it just feels a bit bland. 100 more years of Strive for me, at least until as Tokon drops

>>538568295
>bland
not the word i would use to describe it, game is going to take forever to master

>>538566123
Marvel Rivals does a great job at making you care for its characters with all of it's cinematics and animations and you don't even have to pay for to play as the new characters. I boot up 2xko and I feel no desire to play anyone. It feels soulless in making you want to care for these characters outside of the gameplay. In game they look good and animate well but as a complete casual to the LoL universe I'm not feeling inclined to spend money or grind to unlock any characters at the moment.

>>538567258
thanks, you ruined it for me

how the fuck is there STILL no mod to mute the music in the god damn ranked queue

>>538568949

The only thing that kills Strive at this point is the end of dev support and even then this game will still have a sizeable playerbase until the next GG game.

LMAO

>>538567467
The fanbase is too big now, they cant pull a rev2 again it would be a disaster

>>538602653
Bridget was never a joke character though, there was always a decent chunk of people who liked them even back on XX days, the char in-game isn't a joke char either, that's Robo-Ky's job.
Is just that it brought a different type of crowd now, half of which doesn't even play.

>>538648667
Asuka is, with zero exaggeration, the best thing about Strive.

>>538648667
powerful new characters are fine when they do cool shit

i unironically loved dashblocking into that fucker's cube vortex and then instantly pulverizing him off of one counter-hit

I will say tying Asuka's resource directly into his defense was a genuinely good design decision
Unlike characters like Zato

>>538649253
The way Zato works is fine on paper, he's strong with Eddie but weak without, and the opponent is able to take Eddie away from him if they're on the ball. That premise has always been fine, but it just seems hard to balance because across each GG it can often be the case that they seem unwilling to let him be too weak without Eddie, or they'll just make it too easy to let him keep Eddie.

The idea is still fine and has worked in the past though. Chaos would be an example of a more fundamentally flawed design.

>asuka
>complex
When will this meme end? Hes just stance character where 80% of his kit are fucking projectiles lmao.

asuka having such strong control of the match with all of his spells but literally instantly dying if you catch him out once is just HC but executed correctly. people used to say 'ah bro HC is weak when he's out of resources" except it's really not that big of a deal to play neutral with him and one correct guess and you're instantly back to playing top 1

>better to play 20 EXTREMELY annoying faggots than 2000 mildly irritating tards playing a gio tier chick over and over
No.

>>538649704
Answer is cool but Kum is boring.

>>538649704
>Imagine not liking Answer
way to out yourself as a fag

>>538649704
gio not as boring and as annoying

>>538649704
answer is based

>>538649671
When asuka players and beings that for some reason suck the character's dick despite not playing him stop existing

>>538649671
name five other RNG-based card game hand management characters in fighting games

asuka is a character for nerds, they don't even look at what is happening on screen, their nose is buried in their spell book the whole match (staring at their spells and mana gauge) while they vomit out cubes as fast as they can

im a test case 2GAWD tho

The only good xrd newcomers are jack-o and ramlethal with both deserving that moveset change as much as testament did

>>538650664
so they were both good and needing of a rework? interesting

Remember to ask for buffs for Happy Chaos, Goldlewis, and Potemkin in the survey.

>>538649984
Every single char on Hisoutensoku (all 20 of them)
I agree though, Asuka is the most complex Strive char.
>>538649671
He doesn't have a stance though, and sure he has a lot of projectiles but all those projectiles have different startups, # of hits, effective ranges, recoveries and then there's also all the self buffs, hand modifiers (full-import, random-import, auto-import, chaotic option, sampler 404), staves and the 4 teleports.

Is not that his kit is difficult to understand, is that it's hard to play properly because you have to adapt to all of those things on the fly at same time you have to manage your mana, constantly re-stock cards and be aware of your opponent, while also being on Strive, a game were every other char will just throw a half-screen advancing hitbox that will kill you if it hits.

If Answer was a shortstack shy nerdy blondie office lady with huge titties everyone would be calling his concept amazing and beg him to come back
In similar fashion if they simply changed Giovanna to male literally no one would care for her in the slightest

it's simple, we kill the cumbrains

>>538652361
>shortstack shy nerdy blondie office lady with huge titties

example(s)?

yes, one gio sexo post, please

>>538650664
Ram moveset was fine, or at the very least, it was so much better than Strive Ram and it was actually fun to play as.
If anything, Elphelt was the one who really needed a moveset redesign, but I don't think Strive did a good job at making a better one.
>>538652361
Answer concept is amazing, people who got to see the char know he's cool, is just that he came out by the time Xrd was dying out.
People don't really ask for him more because there's other fan-favorites before him that people obviously want more, not because his design is bad.
>if they simply changed Giovanna to male literally no one would care for her in the slightest
True, but that's because Giovanna is already a boring character, all she's good for is the sex appeal, nothing on her fighting style is anything new and she had no relevancy on the story.

>>538653096
Nah, Xrd Ram sucked too, just in a different way from Strive Ram. She was boring to fight and her combos drag on forever with her slow Tekken strings and her getting to 5D mid combo. Every character that can do that in Xrd has overlong combos.
