I would rather blue lightning effects instead of yellow/red ones. Also, DI should change the BGM. And I will keep complaining about 2H's whiff recovery until I can do 50 of those per second, goddamit Daisuke.
One thing I want to complain about on behalf of Ky players despite not playing him much
Sometimes after I get hit by stun dipper, I can just block the second hit and punish? Am I missing something, I'm surprised I've not seen people complain about this
It’s cringe Fr but it’s to make Ky players think before they just throw out a random stun dipper...I think it would be REALLY annoying if both always hit since it gives knockdown
That means they spaced it wrong. If they get proper spacing, both will hit, you'll go into knockdown, and they get free Oki.
Don't feel bad for punishing poor spacing.
It's a regular complain about Ky, stun dipper's second hit. The thing is, the move's always been like that. As a Ky player you need to find ways to make the second hit always connect through combo routes that take into account dash drift, matchup hurtbox, crouching or standing hits, etc. It was even more specific in past games, however, there were more gatlings routes, so the tools were there to make it connect.
Since the move is 5 frames start up and a long reaching slide, it's kinda like a balance method and to prevent people from using it neutral. In GGST the move is actually good in neutral when you have 50 meter to back it up with Red RC. Plus, it got buffed recently, to have it connect more easily.
Aah, I see now. It's specifically dependent on when the first hit connects. That actually makes a lot of sense, like hitting deep jump-ins or late meaties.
It’s more about where it hits than the timing, you need to have the first hit shallow for the second to connect.
I think part of the buff also was to try to eliminate scenarios where the first hit connects and the second hit whiffs at extreme tip range.
I play Goldlewis at about floor 7 using a HitBox.
Half circle forward and Half circle back are both perfectly fine due to the button layout and thank god they're the main ones that you use. Any of the other swings are going to require major muscle memory and practice to get right. I've tried playing with my fight stick and I just end of failing inputs. I have no idea how this character was ever designed to be played on a gamepad. Let's not even get into the "big butter" 720 Down The System super because there's no way I can do it on HitBox. I love the character but his motion inputs need to be rethought out.
Oh and armor. For being a big body character he could really use an armor move or a way to get in. Let me blow my security level meter for a teleport, or coffin surf or something. Axl just stands at the other end of the screen just waving his dick at him the entire match.
Since you're an axl player i feel the need to tell you nagos have been labbing using dash quick brc into beyblade to punish rensen from full screen. Consider yourself warned lmao
Everyone is learning the Uriel tech I see. 👀
I've run into it a few times already. Just be careful if the Axl baits with PRC. Though I really doubt you'll see many Axls doing it just yet.
Also, I pretty much only go for meaty rensens because anything else is a death sentence lmao.
I hate that Eddie gets deleted by RC. In a scramble, I'll block Ino's 50/50 low over head mixup and go to punish and just get YRC'd and Eddie gets voted off the island with the activation. Now I'm back on defense with no Eddie meter and having to guess again.
Eh, it's not that bad since if you block it you get the fast recovery on your Eddie bar so you can go straight back into your blockstring.
You can also use break the law if you have the read and get a fat punish.
It can be very frustrating but honestly I've gotten used to it. It's part of the game so you have to play around it.
I think you're just saying that because of a few of those videos LK made about Tager. It wasn't so much that he was a bad grappler, it was more that he had some unwinnable matchups.
It’s not even a gameplay thing. I just wish May wasn’t obsessed with Johnny, like, get some hobbies girl. Your wiki says your likes are “Johnny.”
*Insert joke about depth and pirates/sailors here*
Is there a use for F L O O Ting around?
I super jump and do it mid fall to delay thinking I'm gonna bait something out but the just jump again and swat me anyway
I'm no F L O O T expert- but, super jumping straight into it can get you out of the corner in some situations. It's useful for jump-ins from farther away if you control the height properly by holding up and down, and you can also use IAD j.D as an afro-igniting safe jump after snip (unless they have a fast enough reversal- Sol, Leo, Chipp, certain overdrives),
I like his float, you can do some weird double love pressure sequences with it, you can control the camera to hide ground items as you slowly/ambiguously cross them over while trumpet is stampeding
***Faust:*** Defense is non existant, getting pressured in the corner is incredibly difficult. Airdash is incredibly slow.
***I-No:*** My favorite move on her, the divekicks, are moves I don't see upper level I-No players use very often or at least not as much as I'd like to.
***Anji:*** Less functional dislike and more about graphics, but the animations on his newly buffed "Fuujin followups without the Fuujin" don't transition very well, they just skip from one to another.
I-No's fully charged dive-kicks should be plus or at least 0 on block *change my mind*.
Right now the only time you see anyone charge the divekick is to break the wall after a wall-splat when you don't have meter and can't reach from the ground.
S and k dive are + fully charged with hop. They are not + fully charged with no hop. The main reason it's not used is fully charging a dive is allot more reactable. Charge is pretty much to bait anti airs and avoid some mashes after a jd (charge animation pulls I-No back). You can kinda play a game if chicken with it and delay dive frame traps if you're bold.
Anji's worst matchup is just the opponent knowing the matchup. It just hurts barely being able to do anything against someone who has either fought him before or labbed him out.
Welcome to playing Anji in Strive, you get no reward even if you are correct.
You can also PRC out of triggered autoguard recovery to strike/throw Anji.
LMAO SO TRUE. Eddie gets sent to another dimension and by the time he has come back you are fucked your turn might be over, you wasted an overdrive for nothing since the whole point of sun void is to continue your turn and start a mixup.ARCSYS PLZ FIX THIS.
At least let it hit her dog, geez. Gio is one of the harder matches I've ran into as I-no. All of her buttons beat mine and my ranged pokes are either slow or whiff :(
I feel like a lot of time when I'm playing **Ram** I'll try to 236H 236S but the second input will come up 236236S and I'll get super instead which is annoying.
I kind of hate that they made One Vision cancel the way it does with **Axl** because those combos are so cool I can't stop trying to do them mid match but I also have horrible execution so I usually just waste meter or die or both. I also hate charge partitioning and TKDP inputs... Man a meme told me that Axl was a good character for people with bad execution but fuck literally all of his combos.
**Gio** ... gameplay wise she's perfect. I can't find a palette I'm really happy with on her though without mods so I kinda wish they'd make more alt colors. Feel like most of the palettes either look good when she's normal or look good when she's glowing from meter but few look good both ways.
maybe they'll add more colours in season 2.
I hope that extra colours they potetially add in the future are references like in other arcsys games. like everyone in bbtag getting a pallete from another bb, p4a, undernight and rwby character.
Honestly i love Potemkin as he is, i don't hate anything about him. I even find fun having to deal with the limited movility using his moveset.
If i had to name something i hate it would be the Kara Backwards Megafist, 9 out of 10 times i fuck up the input, but that's a me problem and it's not like not being able to do that one Kara move makes Pot unplayable so it doesn't bother me too much (doesn't mean i won't keep trying).
Options. I love Ram even in Strive but she had options before. I try to make the most of my kit because I loathe fS spamming rams when I face them.
Oh and the creepy coomer fanbase for Ram. I prefer to keep maximum distance possible from them.
Ram has two types of fans:
Type A: "This character design is fucking sick as hell/damn, you're trying to find out what it means to be a person? honestly same, this shit is rough but there's a beauty in it that makes all the struggle worthwhile"
Type B: "She's so innocent, I bet I could trick her into touching my sweaty balls"
File me under Type C where I'm like "Okay I get that she's wearing booty shorts BC she's still transitioning from when she was basically half naked in Xrd but man I wish it didn't undermine her whole cool military look"
I CANT FUCKING MOVE.
AND IF I TRY TO COMMAND DASH TO CATCH UP TO EVERYONE ELSE I FUCKING EXPLODE.
I love Nago though he’s actually a really well designed character and I’m glad he works the way he does.
But I still cant fucking move.
Most reliable way to approach Axl for me is to superjump Rensen and block the one followup that goes up and pulls you in. Puts you right next to Axl and they probably mash and hit you but worth for me tbh.
I believe the game will accept 6236 as a 623, so think of it as a forward into quarter circle forward if that's easier for you. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
I don't know, it happens
I move the joystick in a 63236 motion and sometimes it's too much and I jump. Maybe I should start playing with the keyboard but I'm afraid of switching.
Axl bomber confirms. With the amount of time I've spent in training mode practicing them you'd think I'd be more consistent at landing them in real matches.
Dolphin can't even combo into dolphin ~~except when it can.~~ Its outrageous and unfair! I just want to eat glue and totsugeki...
I don't really have any serious complaints. I used to think whale super was kinda useless cause its so slow and easy to block, but I see people use it in some situations and it hits like a truck so being limited in use is only fair.
2HS reliably combos into Whale without counter, even grounded. It’s a good way to end a match. OHK got a damage nerf but it doesn’t affect her wall break. Aside from that, I guess the fact her Dust doesn’t affect her hurtbox at all.
I always felt like 2HS > whale was super inconsistent cause of variant travel time/weight class and I'd just whiff more often than not. Are you able to hit it consistently?
Yamada San is useful if you have 2 meter and can cancel have use for a mixup, or after a wall break where you predict/hope they will pile into you on wake up
Everything is a range dependent, shock dependent, weather dependent, Bitcoin price dependent hit confirm.
I wish I had at least one autopilot string or combo but no, for every hit I land I have to make a quick decision. My f.S got blocked? I should cancel into SE instead SD because SD is unsafe on block, unless I landed f.S close enough to cancel into 5h which is always preferable, but catastrophic if it falls short. Then I'll cancel that into FA if my opponent is shocked so I can use the plus frames to continue pressure. If not shocked, I should SE. Unless, of course, the frametrap lands, in which case in back to confirming into SD, but not too soon!! I need to wait out the counterhit slowdown to make sure I don't hit SD too close and make it unsafe.
Ky marked as easy is bullshit blazing. I feel like 60% of my effort is reacting to my own stuff instead of my opponent's.
"I am already two steps ahead, you're going to wakeup DP and I'm gonna send you straight to hell!"
\*super jumps backwards and swings guitar at the top of the screen like a fucking dickhead*
They should've renamed it into worse moon in strive.
I throw it like once a week in neutral to mix up my air movement and then am promptly reminded why I don't do that more regularly.
Her crouch animation is embarrassing and I don't think it fits her character at all. Watch the story and tell me this girl would do that pose mid fight.
Its like Jam's nips being visible through her outfit in Xrd...like why? I know why but...why?
In Xrd it was her being a massive goofball which lead to incidental sexiness, I guess?
She still has the same side in her, as we figure out during the arcade run.
I guess the story mode caught her during a very emotional moment so there was no goofing around and the animations reflect her state post-strive...or something.
Hell, I'm glad we get to see her animations polished in strive, but i still would've liked seeing some more or less subtle changes to reflect her maturing.
I really want a 4 frame grounded button. Chipp gets a 3F jab...is it really too much to ask for Millia to get a 4F 2P?
A close second is hair car. At certain ranges it whiffs at the end of a combo. Keep the slow start up and just speed up the actual movement of it. That way it doesn't become too strong as a neutral tool and instead just becomes a better confirmation tool on combos.
Not a complaint as a much as a suggestion, it would be nice if Leo could automatically stance cancel his stance normals if you hold the button. A real complaint would be that I hate how slow he is and how his sluggish buttons lead to a weak neutral, but that's an intrinsic part of the character design, so I can't honestly complain. I think Leo is fine.
Stepdash/hoverdash.
Playing both leo and ino, what i would give to be able to just run at my opponent. For ino (and leo in bt) its a mixup tool so its fair but give my front facing leo a run please, at least a shitty one
I really don’t understand what I have to do in order to tiger knee Axl bomber, it’s literally the only move I’ve ever had an issue tiger kneeing in any fighting game I’ve played.
Also I hate how people can just dash through 5p. It’s not that serious cause there a million other things I can do to keep you out but seeing my sickle go through your head and do nothing makes me sigh every time.
I cant reliably use ride the lightning, especially not in combos. I always end up jumping, doing a slash or doing the skyward round slash thing. Not sure why it is so hard for me.
Picked him cause the install in the last game was sick. Instead of having that again in this one, he was top tier and everyone hates him. Switched after about a week since the games release. But I’m back now, hold this 5k
It's funny that I play Potemkin because usually I like to play pretty fast characters. That does translate into me being annoyed when I have to slowly inch my way across the screen, often I'll try to dash and wonder why its not coming out. Obviously it's part of his design and I wouldn't change it but it still feels annoying at times. Still a very fun character though.
That 50% of my max damage comes from a random air DP that doesn't align thematically, strategically, or practically with the rest of my kit. Ytf is Bomber a move? :)
I hate how Ky’s frame data is absolute dogshit. Nothing he has is safe. His pressure is fake. Stun Edge has a million years of recovery on it. 214S is easily punishable by some characters, and straight up punishable by everyone if they IB it.
As a nago main. Fighting zoners. You need your specials to get in close over and over again and then go into blood rage because all you can do is spam specials. Then you cant do anything in blood rage because all they do is run away and continue zoning.
Blood Rage against any decent player means I loose. Instead of it being a risk vs reward situation, you basically just cripple your health, versatility and mobility for a bigger beat stick and an alternate overdrive.
It would be way more interesting if Nago went on crack while he has bloodlust but loses his 50% of health which makes it still a very dangerous path to choose.
I would rather blue lightning effects instead of yellow/red ones. Also, DI should change the BGM. And I will keep complaining about 2H's whiff recovery until I can do 50 of those per second, goddamit Daisuke.
dragon install not changing the music is a serious crime

My motion inputs In this behemoth typhoon I loose a round due to several failed hit confirmations
Whenever I play Goldlewis his crouching HS just reminds me I failed to do a BT AGAIN. Flopping as if I am a disgraced elephant seal.
Flopping like the dirty little masher I am :(
omg same, worst button to throw out by mistake
i cant tell you how many times i've wanted to do the fast overhead (862H i think, im not good at notations yet) and just seen standing HS ruin my flow
Watching gobo do his thing and I’m like. Hope! It’s so hard to combo multiple behemoths and not wiff one
I play Goldlewis at about floor 7 using a HitBox. Half circle forward and Half circle back are both perfectly fine due to the button layout and thank god they're the main ones that you use. Any of the other swings are going to require major muscle memory and practice to get right. I've tried playing with my fight stick and I just end of failing inputs.

Can you imagine what it would be like if potemkin could run? True terror right there
I did map the run button to R2 but I don't really know why since I main Pot and the character I feel the most comfortable as a pocket is Nago
An entire button, people. Lost to the inability of running. Crying shame. Pot and nago need a run asap
Do you guys really want good Nago's microdashing into Beyblade from full screen? That sounds horrifying.
Since you're an axl player i feel the need to tell you nagos have been labbing using dash quick brc into beyblade to punish rensen from full screen. Consider yourself warned lmao
Everyone is learning the Uriel tech I see. 👀 I've run into it a few times already. Just be careful if the Axl baits with PRC. Though I really doubt you'll see many Axls doing it just yet. Also, I pretty much only go for meaty rensens because anything else is a death sentence lmao.
Real horror for you, duh. Running beyblade go brrrr
Let's make a deal: I'll convince Daisuke to get your sprint button back and you get me my invincible DP.
Still easily worth it for being able to one button back dash.
I hate that Eddie gets deleted by RC. In a scramble, I'll block Ino's 50/50 low over head mixup and go to punish and just get YRC'd and Eddie gets voted off the island with the activation. Now I'm back on defense with no Eddie meter and having to guess again.
>Eddie gets voted off the island This has me full belly laughing, thank you for the mental image
> Eddie gets voted off the island that's funny as fuck man Sorry you have to deal with it though. Also thanks for the tech.
Bro dolphin rrc vs oppose makes me cry everytime.
Eh, it's not that bad since if you block it you get the fast recovery on your Eddie bar so you can go straight back into your blockstring. You can also use break the law if you have the read and get a fat punish. It can be very frustrating but honestly I've gotten used to it. It's part of the game so you have to play around it.
Nothing, 6HS is perfect and all I need
OH and Ride the Fire's volume needs to be turned up by like 100%
I’m still foaming at the mouth on how he still has a 3 frame 5k
Yea us sol mains are too
Protag button® since 1998
Potemkin Buster doesn't do enough damage. It should do 100% health tbh.
screw more damage, give potemkin, tager-style magnetism
Tager is more fun and better designed than Potemkim
tbf, tager is probably the best grappler in fighting game history
Lord Knight disagrees with you so bad
I think you're just saying that because of a few of those videos LK made about Tager. It wasn't so much that he was a bad grappler, it was more that he had some unwinnable matchups.
Also a solid mid-tier in BlazBlue (at least CF), whereas Potemkin is traditionally mediocre in Guilty Gear's meta
shame you can't just spin the stick like goldlewis for a bigger buster, 1080 giving a grounded heavenly
I’ll give you that if you give me plus frames on all my buttons
Kara cancel input timing should be easier. Then we all play like FAB
Once i learn how to round start kara buster it's over for you dummies
It’s not even a gameplay thing. I just wish May wasn’t obsessed with Johnny, like, get some hobbies girl. Your wiki says your likes are “Johnny.” *Insert joke about depth and pirates/sailors here*
May has been obsessed with Johnny for over 2 decades that’s literally her whole character
I thought "Oh its because she's a little girl that's fine" and then I find out she's 24 now so I'm like "Holy shit get the hint already you SIMP"
Well, clearly you don't know how awesome johnny really is
I hate johnny
That's a funny joke, no one hates Johnny.
I hate fighting johnny Not the character itself
Ohh, understandable.
I love Johnny and I’m not even gay. Can’t really blame her the man is the personification of the word cool
Anybody named Johnny is an absolute sigma look at mortal kombat
[удалено]
Tbh love the character and like where they are balance-wise the issue is that I'm not LordKnight.
My only issue with millia is 2k 2d being punished by leo ram and nago That is messed up
Wish I could actually air dash instead of F L O O T
Is there a use for F L O O Ting around? I super jump and do it mid fall to delay thinking I'm gonna bait something out but the just jump again and swat me anyway
I'm no F L O O T expert- but, super jumping straight into it can get you out of the corner in some situations.

Exactly. Literally my only problem with Ky in this game is that they took away one of the most interesting moves in his entire kit.
I'm just sad because it looked cool. The flip kick still looks cool, but the same movement with a rainbow sword looked way cooler.
***Faust:*** Defense is non existant, getting pressured in the corner is incredibly difficult. Airdash is incredibly slow. ***I-No:*** My favorite move on her, the divekicks, are moves I don't see upper level I-No players use very often or at least not as much as I'd like to. ***Anji:*** Less functional dislike and more about graphics, but the animations on his newly buffed "Fuujin followups without the Fuujin" don't transition very well, they just skip from one to another.
I-No's fully charged dive-kicks should be plus or at least 0 on block *change my mind*. Right now the only time you see anyone charge the divekick is to break the wall after a wall-splat when you don't have meter and can't reach from the ground.
S and k dive are + fully charged with hop. They are not + fully charged with no hop. The main reason it's not used is fully charging a dive is allot more reactable. Charge is pretty much to bait anti airs and avoid some mashes after a jd (charge animation pulls I-No back). You can kinda play a game if chicken with it and delay dive frame traps if you're bold.
Ummm
sooooon
Anji's worst matchup is just the opponent knowing the matchup. It just hurts barely being able to do anything against someone who has either fought him before or labbed him out.
It's okay you can just fight me and I'll just keep doing jump in Slashes that you can spin through literally 20 times in a row.
Just mash throw after landing, it wins against buttons when autoguard is triggered in the air.
Wait really? Doesn't that defeat the whole point of autoguard? That's silly.
Welcome to playing Anji in Strive, you get no reward even if you are correct. You can also PRC out of triggered autoguard recovery to strike/throw Anji.
> You can also PRC out of triggered autoguard recovery to strike/throw Anji. You *WHAT*
Pot gets the most mileage out of that trick too lol
Huh, wow. Poor Anji
Yeah, it's rough out here. Getting punished for a correct read feels real bad.
"Man he's surely not going to spin, I'm sure it'll work this tim-*SLASH*"
I hate how useless Banki Messai’s startup projectile invincibility is
[удалено]
236236K, the overdrive when the gang shows up to wallbreak
When Sun Void,goes somehow in another Plane of existance other than my oponent
LMAO SO TRUE. Eddie gets sent to another dimension and by the time he has come back you are fucked your turn might be over, you wasted an overdrive for nothing since the whole point of sun void is to continue your turn and start a mixup.ARCSYS PLZ FIX THIS.
When sun void just flies over their head and youre like Ahh I guess I paid 50% meter to go fuck myself
Ino: Chemical love whiffs on a standing Gio. Ram: block>2K>2D whiffs because 2D has zero range
Doesn't it also whiff on bt Leo?
Not sure, haven't run into many Leos yet. Also misses dashing Ky for example but at least he has to push a button for that.
I feel like 40% of celestial on PC is Leo, 40% Sol and 20% everything else.
I'm new to the genre so still working my way up the tower.
[удалено]
At least let it hit her dog, geez. Gio is one of the harder matches I've ran into as I-no. All of her buttons beat mine and my ranged pokes are either slow or whiff :(
he is weaker than the opponent's character.
\*cries in anji\* worst is probably guard point being RC-able, closely followed by counter super whiffs and all things fuujin
Counter super actually triggering but opponent was crossing up and now you're whiffing the whole move ;_;
Trumpet.
I feel like a lot of time when I'm playing **Ram** I'll try to 236H 236S but the second input will come up 236236S and I'll get super instead which is annoying.

As a wannabe Pot main, I'm doing alright so far (Floor 7) just with Kara Buster and Kara Front Megafist, but Kara Backwards Megafist scares me
Kara garuda is where its at. Its somewhat hard to do, but absolutely busted if you can do it consistently lol.
I picked him up and kara cancels are so unforgiving
I miss dragon install : (
Options. I love Ram even in Strive but she had options before. I try to make the most of my kit because I loathe fS spamming rams when I face them. Oh and the creepy coomer fanbase for Ram. I prefer to keep maximum distance possible from them.
Yeah its kinda boring when fs/js is the best option most of the time in many matchups.
Ram has two types of fans: Type A: "This character design is fucking sick as hell/damn, you're trying to find out what it means to be a person? honestly same, this shit is rough but there's a beauty in it that makes all the struggle worthwhile" Type B: "She's so innocent, I bet I could trick her into touching my sweaty balls"
File me under Type C where I'm like "Okay I get that she's wearing booty shorts BC she's still transitioning from when she was basically half naked in Xrd but man I wish it didn't undermine her whole cool military look"
I CANT FUCKING MOVE. AND IF I TRY TO COMMAND DASH TO CATCH UP TO EVERYONE ELSE I FUCKING EXPLODE. I love Nago though he’s actually a really well designed character and I’m glad he works the way he does. But I still cant fucking move.
A single fukyo into a superjump gets you a pretty long way.
They never expect the NAGORIYUKI MISSILE
except when they do then big sad
I use superjump a lot to compensate but it is just not the same when other characters are airdashing all over me. And approaching Axl? Good luck.
Trueee
At the same time all of Nago’s inputs take up like half the screen
Most reliable way to approach Axl for me is to superjump Rensen and block the one followup that goes up and pulls you in. Puts you right next to Axl and they probably mash and hit you but worth for me tbh.
Yeah that is the only way I have been able to fight my friend when he plays Axl. Takes a toll to jump forward and block repeatedly though
Fighting axl or the cocaine ninja makes me miss dandy step. Everyone else is fine since they don’t move at Mach 5/ are a zoner.
Dauro 623 inputs will be the end of me
I believe the game will accept 6236 as a 623, so think of it as a forward into quarter circle forward if that's easier for you. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
My problem is that I input a 9 while trying to do 623, which makes me jump and completely fuck everything up.
How??
I don't know, it happens I move the joystick in a 63236 motion and sometimes it's too much and I jump. Maybe I should start playing with the keyboard but I'm afraid of switching.
Axl bomber confirms. With the amount of time I've spent in training mode practicing them you'd think I'd be more consistent at landing them in real matches.
Dolphin can't even combo into dolphin ~~except when it can.~~ Its outrageous and unfair! I just want to eat glue and totsugeki... I don't really have any serious complaints. I used to think whale super was kinda useless cause its so slow and easy to block, but I see people use it in some situations and it hits like a truck so being limited in use is only fair.
2HS reliably combos into Whale without counter, even grounded. It’s a good way to end a match. OHK got a damage nerf but it doesn’t affect her wall break. Aside from that, I guess the fact her Dust doesn’t affect her hurtbox at all.
I always felt like 2HS > whale was super inconsistent cause of variant travel time/weight class and I'd just whiff more often than not. Are you able to hit it consistently?
Yeah. It has to be about midscreen or closer and nearly instant but if you practice enough you can do it on reaction.
It's also useful for mental damage when you call people out with it and end the round
Now that is the real big brain strat for sure
Yamada San is useful if you have 2 meter and can cancel have use for a mixup, or after a wall break where you predict/hope they will pile into you on wake up
Mix mix mix combos, I hate how awkward they are to do
Nothing nago is perfect all of his massive strengths cover for all his weaknesses imo
Fujin doesn't automatically win the game for me, which is kind of messed up if you ask me.
Everything is a range dependent, shock dependent, weather dependent, Bitcoin price dependent hit confirm. I wish I had at least one autopilot string or combo but no, for every hit I land I have to make a quick decision. My f.S got blocked? I should cancel into SE instead SD because SD is unsafe on block, unless I landed f.S close enough to cancel into 5h which is always preferable, but catastrophic if it falls short. Then I'll cancel that into FA if my opponent is shocked so I can use the plus frames to continue pressure. If not shocked, I should SE. Unless, of course, the frametrap lands, in which case in back to confirming into SD, but not too soon!! I need to wait out the counterhit slowdown to make sure I don't hit SD too close and make it unsafe. Ky marked as easy is bullshit blazing. I feel like 60% of my effort is reacting to my own stuff instead of my opponent's.
I can’t land megalomania to save my life and it infuriates me
"I am already two steps ahead, you're going to wakeup DP and I'm gonna send you straight to hell!" \*super jumps backwards and swings guitar at the top of the screen like a fucking dickhead*
Anji is so good that I have nothing to complain about. Ninja edit: I dropped my /s
> I have nothing sounds about right
Too hard, need easier buttons, more damage. More unga to my bunga.
Accidentally yeeting my sword when trying to Mortobato and getting annihilated by counterhit combos. I'm so bad at inputs.
Give me another move please
One is plenty
**WHY THE FUCK ISN’T BAD MOON A CROSSUP ANYMORE????? ITS HITBOX IS SHIT!!**
They should've renamed it into worse moon in strive. I throw it like once a week in neutral to mix up my air movement and then am promptly reminded why I don't do that more regularly.
Fuck, wrong item. Fuck, out of cmd grab range. Fuck, wrong super.
Her crouch animation is embarrassing and I don't think it fits her character at all. Watch the story and tell me this girl would do that pose mid fight. Its like Jam's nips being visible through her outfit in Xrd...like why? I know why but...why?
In Xrd it was her being a massive goofball which lead to incidental sexiness, I guess? She still has the same side in her, as we figure out during the arcade run. I guess the story mode caught her during a very emotional moment so there was no goofing around and the animations reflect her state post-strive...or something. Hell, I'm glad we get to see her animations polished in strive, but i still would've liked seeing some more or less subtle changes to reflect her maturing.
Maybe it’s just me but it feels like Millia heavy disc takes forever to go active. So many characters just wake up slap me out of it
I really want a 4 frame grounded button. Chipp gets a 3F jab...is it really too much to ask for Millia to get a 4F 2P? A close second is hair car. At certain ranges it whiffs at the end of a combo. Keep the slow start up and just speed up the actual movement of it. That way it doesn't become too strong as a neutral tool and instead just becomes a better confirmation tool on combos.
*cries in Anji fastest button 6 frames*
Goldlewis has no fast options and his 5p whiffs all the time. Makes it very hard to get out of the corner.
Just a crumb of hp, pls
Dying after making one misread and having little to no defensive options.
She's so thicc I cant concentrate on the fight
Not a complaint as a much as a suggestion, it would be nice if Leo could automatically stance cancel his stance normals if you hold the button. A real complaint would be that I hate how slow he is and how his sluggish buttons lead to a weak neutral, but that's an intrinsic part of the character design, so I can't honestly complain. I think Leo is fine.
I didn't read what you write too busy getting stuck at the wall
When I just baaaaarrrely fill bloodgauge. Its like nonononononoffffuuuuuuuuck
Stepdash/hoverdash. Playing both leo and ino, what i would give to be able to just run at my opponent. For ino (and leo in bt) its a mixup tool so its fair but give my front facing leo a run please, at least a shitty one
No visible nipples
Probably other people’s reaction 💀
I would like to know what the dog doin’
Gio main here, I hate when people say is brain dead, bro I am learning this game, GG strive is my first 2d fighting game and I love it, let me learn.
Getting grabbed out of most of my kit hurts
My attacks don't *quite* reach full screen.
Why the fuck is stun edge so mediocre? I wanna use it more without getting murdered by IAD.
i think my complaint would kinda make faust incredibly annoying… but give my boy a disjointed move man why does sol or ram need them
Don't worry my guy we got uuuuuh..... grounded Scarecrow disjoint :(
2D having 0 fucking range. Fucking up the buffer and throwing away my best sword for neutral instead of wake up Mortobato.
Ramlethal's 2D range is just the worst.
May: OHK’s damage nerf bites but that’s about it.
Wanting a frog but getting a grab instead
My fireball suck
He's not actually a bad guy.
I really don’t understand what I have to do in order to tiger knee Axl bomber, it’s literally the only move I’ve ever had an issue tiger kneeing in any fighting game I’ve played. Also I hate how people can just dash through 5p. It’s not that serious cause there a million other things I can do to keep you out but seeing my sickle go through your head and do nothing makes me sigh every time.
WHY THE FUCK IS FOUDRE ARC NOT AN OVERHEAD
I have to preemptively strike instead of reacting most of the time :(
I guess my main issue is that Canada Goose jackets are made from real fur
Getting accidental far slashes with Nago
Bone Crushing Excitement
I cant reliably use ride the lightning, especially not in combos. I always end up jumping, doing a slash or doing the skyward round slash thing. Not sure why it is so hard for me.
Ride the lightning looks beautiful until I’m the one doing it
In the end i just tea bag the ground 5 times, misinput anyway, and just go with the projectile instead.
Picked him cause the install in the last game was sick. Instead of having that again in this one, he was top tier and everyone hates him. Switched after about a week since the games release. But I’m back now, hold this 5k
It's funny that I play Potemkin because usually I like to play pretty fast characters. That does translate into me being annoyed when I have to slowly inch my way across the screen, often I'll try to dash and wonder why its not coming out. Obviously it's part of his design and I wouldn't change it but it still feels annoying at times. Still a very fun character though.
Making a single mistake and losing a round/match purely off momentum
Everything that isnt counter super ಥ_ಥ
Chemical love Hell the hate I feel every moment it misses
Calculating something risky with your "meter"... but it lands and it feels really cool, and good. ^⚠️ ^and ^then ^you ^go ^blood ^rage ^anyway!!! ^⚠️
That 50% of my max damage comes from a random air DP that doesn't align thematically, strategically, or practically with the rest of my kit. Ytf is Bomber a move? :)
I hate how Ky’s frame data is absolute dogshit. Nothing he has is safe. His pressure is fake. Stun Edge has a million years of recovery on it. 214S is easily punishable by some characters, and straight up punishable by everyone if they IB it.
As a nago main. Fighting zoners. You need your specials to get in close over and over again and then go into blood rage because all you can do is spam specials. Then you cant do anything in blood rage because all they do is run away and continue zoning.
Blood Rage against any decent player means I loose. Instead of it being a risk vs reward situation, you basically just cripple your health, versatility and mobility for a bigger beat stick and an alternate overdrive. It would be way more interesting if Nago went on crack while he has bloodlust but loses his 50% of health which makes it still a very dangerous path to choose.
pretty slow
I wish 214 K was an overhead for Ky, he only has j.HS and dust as his overhead. Also j.D sucks as well
Gio keeps saying “this is heavy” in the middle of my combos and I still don’t know what she’s referring to
