Vikala revived my love for this game..., because it means i dont take everything too serious

bought the game two days ago. Never picked up a fighter before so this is my first but hey it's one of the few fighters that piqued my interest! Hopefully it grows more in the future

The part about negativity hit the nail on the head. Negativity like that feeds on itself and destroys constructive conversation. I actually quit for about 2 months because of the 2B backlash. It was a constant stream of negative feedback that I've grown all too accustomed to in other FGs. Every ranked session had 8 or 9 RQers, people openly dodged me in the NA lobbies, discredited when talking about MUs or asking/giving advice, and generally hearing GBVS players talk about the character was always negative for "not playing the game". I'm used to this type of thing (played 17 + Fusions in FighterZ), but I genuinely just didn't want to deal with it when I could do anything else for fun. I did hop back on when she was eventually nerfed, but I can tell I've been playing less.

For me the only major issue are the fucking spammers of dash l, that's totally ruined the gameplay mechanics, that's so bad 🤔

I played Nier when I first played this game I wasn't really into the series before but a friend sent me the trailer for her and I was excited to play her, literally the only reason I got the game was to play nier 😅 but when we played I got nothing from him but complaining every fight even tho he was winning because he's just better at fighting games but I just got sick of it because every time I even loaded the game I was met with toxic posts about Neir players, the fact that shes been nerfed like 6-7 times now and he's still complaining has just kept me from playing it again and its a shame cuz I really enjoyed it but hey at least he's having fun on it

Every time I saw people talk about this game, content creators or top players or randoms, it was to to trash on it. People really love to hate this game, its the worst game of the decade apparently. It got really tiresome so I ended muting anything related to the game on (ex)bird app. I love the game, hate the community/what I see online.

First Granblue fantasy is actually a WEB BROWSER game no hoop required and the english translation is official and needs no external programs or Apps to activate it, it's actually not difficult just go to their website. Second: How to fix this game? stop buffing Belial every patch. Stop making all "boss characters" stupid good and sometimes stupidly easy on purpose undermining half of the cast just because they are "big powerful villain". There's a good game in GBVSR but there's a clear preference of making some characters stronger "just because they should be" They really need to take balance seriously, because a lot of character are unfairly easy to play and ok if you want to make an easy character I don't have an issue against it, but damn son don't make them clearly top tier on purpose. Hey maybe it's just myself, but It's kind of insulting how a character like Belial/Lucilius pressures and does their frametraps, compared to others like Yuel or Lowain where everything is heavily minus and it's really easy to know where their pressure stops. So imagine if a new player sees like "oh I love this Lowain guy he looks funny" he picks it and doesn't know how to pressure well because his pressure is kind of hard to understand and then they have to face a Belial pressing 5MMM > EX wheel > Overhead/low mix like a complete Orangutan and being +50 on any close interaction. It's not funny to a new player and it's not funny when you see the same thing for thousands of matches. And it's not even a Belial thing, Versusia kind of has the same thing with her enhanced followups every one of them is at minimum +5 IIRC. Lucilius you gotta react to a very specific move and do a forward dodge or he can pretty much get you in a situation of infinite blocking. You could argue that "well they can pick them" but people don't have the mentality of "I'm gonna pick the top tier" they want to pick the cool character that catched their eyes. I LOVE the game but there's some characters that it's like "oh here we go again"

Stand proud because of this video i have purchased gbvsr.

I love this game myself, it's the first fighter that really clicked with me and helped me start intergrating myself to the community, but I'm always a bit hesitant about doing online play - I know myself and I know I can get really, REALLY hard on myself if I start eating Ls and seeing a rank or stat reflect that.

What to do now? i think nerfing Belial is a good start. Also buffing characters that actually need it like ferry or yuel. Not having stupid reasonings like "skill gaps" as reasoning for nerfs would also be good. Tbh, not really sure why ppl would trust their balance team at all after that, especially if they never played the game before. I sure as hell dont and I really really wanted to like the game. And it definitely reached ppl who dont even play the game, why would they play the game and invest time to get better, after hearing that they would get penalized for getting better

Noice stuff 👏👏👏 God speed to GBVSR

It's kinda hard to play this game in EU. Most people left after few weeks to go back to SF\Tekken\GGST 'cuz they're just more popular.

This game has so many small annoyances. I love the idea of the game, but everytime I try to pick it up again, it pricks my hand with a hundred needles

Honestly out of most fighting games this is the most fun and personally the most balanced. The playerbase is low for some reason but the game itself is really amazing and could be even better over time

Just bought this game. I am a few years into fgc and I try to try lots of games but my focus has far and away been street fighter 6. This was on sale and seems like something I could enjoy as a secondary game. I also didn't play Vanilla, and I'm also looking to play cotw when it comes out. But until then I wanted something to play when I'm not in the mood for sf6 and after a single day lol I'm happy with this. Looking forward to learning more from your video (I 'joined' the fgc in 2019 and I remember watching lots of gbvs on nlbc streams back then. Always looked really good to me I just neve jumped on board til now)

Either that or striker letting you know it's never your turn

To me, I really had a hard time fighting against the combo in this game.

In my opinion version 1 Nier is easy to beat, but belial till this day is still struggle to beat because I get comboed and wall comboed soo hard

Brand new player to the game, the only thing I want is more players. Please people, play this game. The game, to me, feels very fun and I love the art and the quality of the animation. The netcode seems very solid too.

I can address some of the points mentioned in the tweet. It'll be a bit long, my apologies: Large cast, Crossplay, and being easy to pick up are a valid. The other things though: Good netcode. True, but there's no Wi-Fi indicator (at least, I didn't see one when I played).While the netcode for the game is great, I have no way of knowing if my opponent is on W-Fi before accepting a match. When I play Street Fighter 6, I can see my opponent's connection quality and type before I accept a match. Some may think: why play a game without a Wi-Fi indicator when I can play a game which has one? Free-to-play version. I would contest this somewhat. It's good to have a version which allows you to play for free, but the issue is character rotation. All characters don't appear equally. It would be different if it was Gran+the top left characters in week 1, then top middle week 2, top right week 3, etc. Or, the characters are put in a hat old-school style, and the ones which get picked in one week can't appear until all characters have shown up, then it begins anew. This isn't happening. I've seen Nier and Siegfried more often than I can count, or it's based on tournaments. I question this. And, it doesn't allow you to buy characters individually. DOA5LR/6 allow you to buy individual characters, DLC or otherwise individually. Granblue should allow this also, IMO. There are other problems: Questionable balancing and AFK farmers. For the former, they tend to leave problematic characters alone (or make them stronger!), while weaker characters--especially zoners/projectile-based characters--tend to get weaker. Granblue is no exception to this rule, sadly. For the latter: Due to the battle pass (another hated element in games recently), there are a lot of people who queue up for ranked because they have to do it to unlock cosmetics/other bonuses. These can only be unlocked by playing online. So they just go onto ranked and set the controller/keyboard down. Being able to unlock things offline would allow those who want to focus on cosmetics to do that without messing up the online play for those who want to play.

Man never mentioned SA. Brazil is still here fighting for it. Great video, loved it!

I see two main problems:Balancing of characters and Ragequiters or no punishment for quitting.

I really like watching GBVSR more than playing it, original GBVS is one of my favorites so it's really hard for me to enjoy it without comparing my time in both. I enjoyed the slower pace of games and having to interact more per round to win but at launch of GBVSR it wasn't rare to 2 touch your opponent with the damage increase from BP , and winning or losing I wasn't enjoying it. I try to come back every now and then but I just keep up to date on content which has been a little scarce if it isn't just a tournament VOD.

They took the best neutral game since CVS2 and made it feel like random mashing bullshit blazing. There's way too many bullshit anime games in the market, there's not a single one neutral footsies heavy game anymore, they had a unicorn and they killed it. So long as they keep trying to force it to be Strive- instead of VS+, it's not gonna gain back the loyal audience the original game had. Making it more like Strive is the absolute worst thing they could have done. Haters have always been around. Nothing Sajam does now will walk back the damage he did to Vs and DBFZ with the "us vs them" rollbackia bullshit. But Versus had an army of lovers CyGames chose to betray by turning the game they championed against all odds into a lamer version of the game people were using to bully and berate them. BRING BACK VERSUS!

The Capcom cabal and its useful shills clearly don't want this game to succeed as it is a direct competitor and they need to suck Capcom's schlong about SFVI and shill that slime rush simulator endlessly. This is why you rarely, if ever, see the larger part of the popular FGC talking about this game As a vanilla player, I'd say this game does have its problems but it's the only one with pure FG and aesthetic soul in it (and there's no ugly woke crap which is also what the current neo-progressive FGC doesn't like) It's disappointing and sad how much it flopped. Season 2 will be the final cope

66L. That's the reason, that will always be the reason, no amount of nerfing or beating around the bush is going to stop that from being the reason. Doesn't matter what the people playing the game think, that's what everyone who isn't playing the game thinks. And yes, they are the majority. You're welcome.

I love this game and even I don't know why I don't play it more.

It is so wild that Feather isn't in the game yet Bro is literally Rock Howard, he was made for this

Great vid at of your points really resonated

I like this game a lot but the lack of popularity really hurts the experience for me, specifically matchmaking taking too long and the repetitive player pool you’ll get sitting down for a play session. Sitting at S+1/S++5, Ranked matchmaking really struggles to populate that skill bracket without branching out really far in either direction.

We need a Sajam Slam for this game lol. Its not gonna fix everything of course but given how it went for SF6 and T8 it would help GBVSR a lot.

My cousin showed me the ropes of the game the other day, and I'll be buying the Deluxe edition tomorrow. Really looking forward to playing it.

i love gbvr more then almost any other fighting game thing i dont like are mashing out of grabs and broke characters im a 2b main and she is nuts and doesnt belong in the game she is crazy and alot of people say she shouldnt be in the game if they fix grabs and make it the old game way where to tech you need to press grab buttons

I hope in the future we’ll see more variety in the content pool for gbvsr. If I can I would love to post a few videos about the game. Maybe some funny shenanigans with each character. But I agree. We as a community need to come together and create content. Show the world how fun this game can be ^.^

Nobody does RPG modes/tower challenges with gears and stuff videos which is weird to me, it has a lot to digest and a lot of newcomers are not confortable palying against player but ok playing solo content.

Man as someone who doesn't play any granblue games at all I never realized that folks weren't making stuff for this game. This game basically doesn't exist 99% of the time as far as the YT algo is concerned too. Vikala just dropped and there was a spike of interest that led me to this video but once thats died down this game probably wont show up on my feed until the next major content release. That's from content creators who don't even cover this game regularly. I also wanna say i just type in granblue fantasy and there isn't even stuff that comes up for the adjacent games. RUclips is weird like that.

The RUclips channels I watch for anime fighting games. They were heavily into grand blue versus But for Granblue versus rising they might’ve uploaded two videos on the game so I just felt like no one within my RUclips circle cared about this game. Also I don’t like how they handled the battle pass. it’s filled with worthless crap And 1 skin. OK maybe it’s not as bad as street fighter and Mortal Kombat but that doesn’t mean this is good either. Alternate colors COOL. They’re all that same crimson blood red. 1 skin so it’s only a real value to whoever plays this one character specifically. Honestly I think people are just buying the battle pass for the coins. Oh so this game doesn’t even have fight money!! Where I was before I quit I no longer care about honest fights anymore I’m just playing to grind my Dailies. This is just another crappy gotcha that I have to play every day. Only my first three matches matter They forced me to play every day but they don’t reward me to play very long. And by the nature of being an online fighting game often my first opponent is incredibly annoying. This is yet another digital job I just want my money I would prefer to just steam roll my opponent But they just so happen to be fighting back. Man, fuk the other guy for simply fighting me in a fight game. Like what an asshole. OK sure you got me playing every day but I’m not having any fun even a little bit I just want my money. This is why I quit. That in despite it being a technically free game you can’t grind it without PlayStation plus

I love a lot of things about the game. Don't like some others. Overall I'd say it's a good/above average game that I'd mess around in from time to time, but wouldn't actually be passionate about unless they really spiced up the overall amount of complexity they allow in each character's kit. BUT The controls kill it for me. 1 button specials with almost no downside. Block button. Dash button. I can't speak for anyone else, but these in particular are my line. Some more than others. There are some games where I can tolerate a dash button despite the fact that I'd really rather it didn't exist, but the other two are HARD nos for me. The funny part is that I don't even mind 66L that much. lol

i bought the game at launch and ngl i kinda hated it compared to the OG the 66ls, brave stuff and nier kinda turned me off. But i tried a bit after Beatrix came out and and tried out 2B and she was one of the most fun movesets ive played recently. i havent played since the Beatrix update, and during the time it still felt pretty rough to get into(yall are really good ngl)

I was already intersted in the game before and I recently found out about the free version. I tried it, I did a little bit of the story mode, went to train with Katalina and had a lot of fun with her. She felt like a character I could main and play for hours. But the next day to my surprise she wasn't playable anymore and I couldn't see myself training with another character. I'm not saying the other characters aren't interesting, I just wanted to learn the game with her. It would be cool if some characters could be bought with an in-game currency. I would've played with another character just to have the ressources to buy her.

It took them way too long to gut nier and the devs seem stuck on 66L even though 100% the game would be better without it. I love the game but it almost feels like its a good idea to go full hiatus until season 2 sando hits and everyone who played competitive comes back.

Kudos for trying to get the scene more noticeable. I just kinda fell out of the game. The more I played the more I disliked it. And no matter how many breaks or mindset resets I do it just makes me angry to play. So now I just play Djeeta(a char I never know would grow on me but that changed cuz of relink and the anime and even princess connect) and Sandalphon when hes out(shares #1 spot with my fav girl Ilsa) and play just when I think, guess I play a bit of rising. Dont get me wrong I originally liked the game but somehow it just turned south for me and to make sure I keep my love of the ip cuz I play the browser game I just play when I feel like it. Maybe one day I'll like the game again but as of right now, waiting for sandalphon and praying Ilsa and Monika gets in.

I love that the defense of the gameplay is "yeah, but you have to pick your poison" which usually refers to a few characters/mechanics and not core aspects of all parts of the gameplay

Huge fan of the game, I tell everyone. Wish I was better so I could put more content out lol. I got 1 new player from getting them to try free after 6 months swearing it is good

I won't lie to you, I'm sure there were plenty of us casuals who were waiting for it to get cheaper and then just forgot about it lol. I have fantasy versus already and $50 for a game that was essentially an update on the surface, with a new character or 2, is a hard sell to a casual. Also, I've never been a fan of the f2p style of here's 2 or 3 rando characters lol. So I didn't even bother. Particularly when there's so many good games out there like mentioned in the beginning of the video

one thing I think needs more attention in this game is the single player, not everyone wants to just play online over and over, a good offline mode that offered good leveling would help solve two problems at once, it would give the game more single player content, and it would likely help cut down on the afk farmers because honestly with how grindy they made cosmetics in this game, I honestly don't blame alot of afk farmers who just want to unlock cool things for their characters but are forced to play online (likely against the same few players over and over again)

My main issue with this game is the strike throw game seems to favor the defender too much with L techs. Also it’s super duper knowledge check heavy. But my last straw was yuel getting nerfed. I’ll come back if they fix her

I love the game. I have the Platinum Trophy in Rising and the original Versus game. Vikala is freaking amazing, and the series, in general, is Phenomenal, like AJ Styles. I can't see people hating this game. Sure, it's not Street Fighter, it's not KOF, it's not Tekken, it's not Guilty Gear, but it's an amazing game. I love it. I hope others learn to love it, too. It's an Amazing Fighting Game for an Amazing Franchise. I do stream it on Twitch, from time to time.

Rising has been my favorite game of the year. I'm not a tourney player but I love the system, there's enough people in the lobby for me to get games against, and I love the IP and what surrounds it. It's a shame to see people hate on different games still to this day. I'm very excited for the future in season 2 and what changes come about from it.
