Evo train just keeps right on a going! Guilty Gear Season 3 we knew was happening, but now its very official, new moves, new balance, new core systems, and its THIS MONTH. Also Johnny finally makes his long awaited debut as the first DLC character of Season 3 of strive. Watch the vid and let me know what you think!
Hey Rooflemonger, with Johnny being the first dlc character for season 3 and 3 more left to announced, do you have any predictions or wants of characters you want in season 3!? Mine is Dizzy,ABA and Raven.
To note, the two new mechanics don't consume Super meter: they consume your Burst meter, which means you have to decide whether you want to do that or to have a burst available
THAT makes a huge difference, for bit there it looked like it was trying to exactly copy SF6 DI but it just more like forward moving or repulsion Bursts.
I don't think this was mentioned in the video (I just noticed on watching this again in the video) but the new quarter-circle dust moves actually cost 50% burst meter not tension which is pretty interesting
And yes the MK stuff, getting covered do not worry. Right now Capcom might announce something soon, deal with that, and ill have the full reptile/ashrah/havik breakdown for you tomorrow morning. Already made 1 MK video today anyway, turns out Evo is very busy season for this stuff, who would have thought!?
Johnny’s card toss is pretty much similar to Dizzy’s air Bubble special where you have to detonate that projectile to juggle your opponent. I can’t wait for Johnny’s stylish card toss combos!
It was pointed out to me by some people on discord that at ~3:34 in the top left corner, you can see Giovanna dash canceling her 2H, but it's quicker than a normal c.S or 5K dash cancel. It could be a command dash or possibly her wild assault.
Probably just one at a time, but it'll be interesting to see if he can still item toss normally while storing the other item, or if the next time you toss it has to be the item you're storing. I'm hoping it's the former. Having that much control over the items you can use will be so fun
yep! im in a situation with the vegas internet is so bad i gotta pick and choose my news stories right now. When i get home i might do a catch all of everything that couldnt get a dedicated video
I was a little disappointed about the only 6 but it's cool that more will come later for the other characters Wanted to see some old moves comeback but it's cool that they are making new moves
You're the man for getting this out so fast Roof. I didn't play any of season two and figured I might be done with Strive, but this all looks crazy cool.
I never thought they brought back Xrd’s Blitz Shield & Attack but at the cost of half your meter instead. I hope they bring back the blitz shield jump install for more stylish combos.
"Wild Assault" and "Deflect Shield" both seem like interesting mechanics, because they cost half the burst gauge rather than tension. Will they be worth giving up burst? Who knows? 🤔
It'll most likely be situational in some instances and give more player freedom and creativity which is a great thing imo having more options is always great
VERY excited, but so much happening right now I have to pick and choose. When I get home ill probably do an overall evo impressions video or something akin to that and ill talk about it. Very happy with the direction they are going
@@Rooflemonger thanks for your hard work covering Evo Roofle, I always like to know your opinions in fighting games and of course the great guides you do. Thank you!
As soon as I saw "new special moves" appear, my mind INSTANTLY went "VCL please?". And I'm curious who the other three Season 3 characters will be. My gut would think it's 3 out of Slayer/Elphelt/Dizzy/Jam, but we could absolutely get like a surprise A.B.A. reveal in there somewhere.
The things I noticed we haven't seen in Johnny trailer were upper Mist Finer and Air Mist Finer at all. I'm gonna be hella sad if air Mist Finer is gone. Bacchus Sigh is absolutely gone and I kinda expected that lmao.
5:25, just calling it, this is going to be "Thats My Name" where johnny signs his name in fire before it explodes. and it looks just as good as i could ever want, i didn't see treasure hunt, but the new card super looks great for a ranged finisher, and maybe Johnny has a card limit, so he needs to reload with this super.
I figured johny would be mentioned before dizzy but I hope dizzy is the second dlc character at least. Johnny looks cool though and hope the Johnny fans out there are happy.
When i saw the jack card i actuakky screamed so loud and jumped so much my mom in the other living room watching with the rest of the family the hit movie legally blonde 2, looked at me concerned and called me out on. I basically said "tough shit its my ewuivalent of the world cup" cause i live in a football country
We'll have to see how they rebalance the game. They might nerf other parts of their kits. Overall strength aside, they are two of the more simple characters design-wise, so adding specials to them makes sense in that regard.
@@NickJJU I've been hoping for a long time they take the time to rework these two. They're too linear and easy with too much reward. If they're giving them new moves to refocus their play styles and make them more fun to play with/against, I'm all for it.
I’m excited for Johnny but honestly I’m more excited to see what they do with Testament. I’m hoping for a new way to proc stain I think that would be really cool and fun
What in the Setsuka had a baby by Gambit is going on here!? 😂 I don’t play GGStrive but the character design and art style of the series are so captivating.
I hope Potemkin's properties are similar to Gold Lewis's since he has the same problems but even more so since he doesn't have the same mobility options.
I feel like after you get burst baited you’re not likely to get all of it back later on. So maybe then the new mechanics will seem more appealing and give you something to do with your burst gauge still.
So what new special move are they going to add for Millia Rage? Does she need a strong reversal move or are they going to bring back her Secret Garden? Or perhaps make her flower install overdrive into a special instead that she can charge stocks to power-up her moves?
The whole card shtick for Johnny was acually how I thought they were gonna handle his Mist Finer just with coins instead of cards. Basically my idea was to remove the whole lv up mechanic for Johnny but making sure that you could preform an enched Mist Finer even on whiff by slashing the coin mid air so I'm glad arc sys made something similar. Also watch this Johnny have more specials than Xrd Johnny, I have a wierd feeling its gonna be the case.
I could see the rest of this season pass including dizzy and aba. anybody who gets name dropped or alluded to in strive so far are on the table, and those two seem like the most likely candidates. not sure on character 4. I'm sticking to my guns on slayer tho. he's not happening until we get more on happy chaos's paradox. slayer willingly allowing happy chaos to use him to escape the paradox he's in and accidentally pulling justice, kliff, and ordor sol out of a portal feels like where this is going
Questions for the chat. Is the hacker server stuff and or the match making with cross play all fixed? I remember they were still issues when Bedman came out so hopefuly that's all worked out.
AFAIK the hacker stuff isn't happening anymore, and it was only affecting streamers anyway, so no reason to worry as a regular player. The matchmaking is "fixed", but it's basically back to how it was before Xbox crossplay launched, so it's still not perfect. I still play all the time with very few issues though
Ranked system is okay. There are 11 "floors" that represent your rank. Lower floors are pretty unpopulated, so most people play on floors 5-10. Once you get to floor 10, you get the chance to enter "celestial", the highest rank. You're allowed to enter celestial lobbies at this point, but you have to win 5 out of 6 games to stay in, otherwise you get sent back down to floor 10. If you win 5/6 games, you can't derank from celestial until the next month when it resets. It's a dumb system, and the skill gap in celestial is huge, since it's intermediate level players all the way up to the best in the world. Up until that point though, the game is pretty good at matching you with players of a similar skill level. The lobbies aren't great either. They hold up to 32 players, and you have to go into the lobby to play ranked. There's a "wait in training mode" function so you don't have to interact with the lobby yourself, but the game is still putting you into a lobby and either randomly matching you with other players who are queued up for a match, or allowing players who are in the lobby to walk up and challenge you. Thankfully, there are still a ton of people playing the game, and even at weird hours in my region I'm always able to find games. The netcode is also fantastic so if you and your opponent are both on a wired connection, it's often super smooth even if you're fairly far apart. The game itself is super fun, so I'd recommend it despite the issues with the online experience. Getting into a match can be a bit more difficult than it needs to be, but once you're in, it's a blast.

I have been playing Nago since day one. Recklessly. You think Johnny penalty is gonna stop me? 😂
@@prachetasnayse9709 nah, probably not. The only thing those two have in common are wielding big swords
@@ShinxBOOM247 I have been waiting on Johnny since the game released, played Nago as copium.
Oooooooh what the fuck, that's new. I'm scared and kinda into it
1:53 One minor detail I appreciate: Confirmation it isn't a low, by having Sin walk back into it and block it standing
The fact that evrybody screamed "Noooo" when the saw May with a new special is funny😂😂
I don't think this was mentioned in the video (I just noticed on watching this again in the video) but the new quarter-circle dust moves actually cost 50% burst meter not tension which is pretty interesting
True I didn't notice that
Johnny looks really cool in Strove and I hope either Slayer or Dizzy are next

Much love and ty for the hard work
Rooflemonger getting these videos together immediately on the scene! Thanks for all you provide the community
Just noticed that those new mechanics uses burst gauge and not the usual super meter
Loving it. Hope some of the simpler characters get the new specials first. Also Gio needs a dog move asap
Johnny’s card toss is pretty much similar to Dizzy’s air Bubble special where you have to detonate that projectile to juggle your opponent.
I can’t wait for Johnny’s stylish card toss combos!
I'm hoping Ditzy will be in this pass. As for the new moves, it's gonna be interesting.
It’s insane how fast new content for strive is coming out
It would be insane if they actually add some good content instead of literally just more inputs to press.
@@gofyjeans it’s insane you think arcsys adding new special moves isn’t a good thing.
Is it really that fast when the game came out 2 years ago and the last update was 4 months ago?
It was pointed out to me by some people on discord that at ~3:34 in the top left corner, you can see Giovanna dash canceling her 2H, but it's quicker than a normal c.S or 5K dash cancel. It could be a command dash or possibly her wild assault.
Faust having a feint item toss and can release it afterwards is amazing.
I wonder if he can stack his items just to reserve it for his arsenal.
Faust with FIVE UNKNOWN ITEMS IN HAND

I hope Jam comes in soon!
Also, Rooflemonger, GBVSR finally has a release date too, and has a free to play version as well!!
yep! im in a situation with the vegas internet is so bad i gotta pick and choose my news stories right now. When i get home i might do a catch all of everything that couldnt get a dedicated video
5:24 Happy Chaos is going to the moon.

*Half your burst gauge, which is more interesting ngl.
They finally gave Johnny his legs back
We had May without Johnny for awhile, how will she handle this news?

Good job, Roof.
Proud of you, man.
Will Johnny be glad about Bridget's switch?
Slayer fans are never gonna eat…
hes been in the files since S1, just gotta keep waiting
Good!
Dont worry guys there's still 3 characters and if that's not enough, there's still season 4, then maybe in the next life.
Haven't touched this game since season 1. I guess it will still be collecting dust since there's no Slayer
So annoyed season 2 was straight trash for me...sin was cool tho
Nice coverage of every announcement but i'm also waiting for your impressions on Fatal Fury City of the Wolves. Thanks!
VERY excited, but so much happening right now I have to pick and choose. When I get home ill probably do an overall evo impressions video or something akin to that and ill talk about it. Very happy with the direction they are going

The things I noticed we haven't seen in Johnny trailer were upper Mist Finer and Air Mist Finer at all. I'm gonna be hella sad if air Mist Finer is gone. Bacchus Sigh is absolutely gone and I kinda expected that lmao.
Bacchus was a mistake. It never should have existed. As it is, guard crush is op in this game, just straight up ignoring block would break it.
Ram's new special move isn't an explosion, a big boulder pops out of the ground. She's doing some rock-bending right there.
My brain is exploding after this and everything else. I have never had so many character crisis's at once.
Did Faust just eat an item..?
I love it.
Imagine potemkin defensive push back into kara pot buster lol. I hope he gets air potbuster for his new move.
Half of burst gauge, not tension gauge.
5:25, just calling it, this is going to be "Thats My Name" where johnny signs his name in fire before it explodes. and it looks just as good as i could ever want, i didn't see treasure hunt, but the new card super looks great for a ranged finisher, and maybe Johnny has a card limit, so he needs to reload with this super.
I figured johny would be mentioned before dizzy but I hope dizzy is the second dlc character at least. Johnny looks cool though and hope the Johnny fans out there are happy.
Maybe there’s still hope for Venom!
I wonder if asuka can just hold forward + d as a followup to his spells
The deflect is huge , this is what we all needed for sure
Awww baby's first block string is too cute
Nice overview. Looking forward to that.
Strive & KoF15 are my two main fighters. Still want to get SF6 ASAP. 😅Good vid.
YYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
The MAN is back. Time to get back into Guitly Gear once again.
I will warn you guys..... He is PERFECT!

idc about the more to come in later updates fineprint, May and Ram getting a new move first is criminal
"coming first to 6 of the 15 initial roster and Happy Chaos"

MY DUDE IS BACK! FINALLY!
Man this really got me rehyped for GG. Strive was the one fighting game that got me into the genre so seeing this is amazing
I’m excited for Johnny but honestly I’m more excited to see what they do with Testament. I’m hoping for a new way to proc stain I think that would be really cool and fun
What in the Setsuka had a baby by Gambit is going on here!? 😂
I don’t play GGStrive but the character design and art style of the series are so captivating.
The card mechanic of jhonny just feels like Testament's stain but with fewer steps wow
I was absolute terrified when I saw GL do the wild assault. It's like shooting a human cannonball in your face, the horror..
I swear to god if sol doesnt get DI i riot.
oh nice the card is like stain! i think im ready to finally have a character crisis in strive!
In the same day of armored core VI, omg!
I hope Potemkin's properties are similar to Gold Lewis's since he has the same problems but even more so since he doesn't have the same mobility options.
Potemkin: *Projectile invincible command grab dash*
Isnt Johnnys first super they show his old instakill in like x and xx?
I feel like after you get burst baited you’re not likely to get all of it back later on. So maybe then the new mechanics will seem more appealing and give you something to do with your burst gauge still.
But tbh may had that dolphin cancel in accent core and xrd so how is it any different
Maybe the changes will bring me back, but probably not I have not been happy with the changes they’ve made in the past year
Watching Faust consume a hammer makes me happy for a more ridiculous-looking Faust (akin to Rev2).
So what new special move are they going to add for Millia Rage?
Does she need a strong reversal move or are they going to bring back her Secret Garden?
Or perhaps make her flower install overdrive into a special instead that she can charge stocks to power-up her moves?
Seems they brought us both johnny and venom with the same character
Cmoooooon Jam, literally the only thing that could bring me back is puffball babyyy
I thought we'd never get johnny im so happy rn
The whole card shtick for Johnny was acually how I thought they were gonna handle his Mist Finer just with coins instead of cards.

Will blow the webbs off my strive game after seeing johnny
I've never been more excited for this game than since it originally released.
I wonder if Jam has a chance to get in in season 3?
Gambit, is that you?
I very much hope he still has his mist cancels. If they cut those I'm not playing him.
Is there any hope to get ingame frame data? Eh, I guess not :c
I was heartbroken to hear that characters were getting new special moves only to find out that Faust will not have pogo stance or doors 😭
I could see the rest of this season pass including dizzy and aba. anybody who gets name dropped or alluded to in strive so far are on the table, and those two seem like the most likely candidates. not sure on character 4.

How are the rank/lobby system in this game? Is there a healthy amount of people playing it?
Ranked system is okay. There are 11 "floors" that represent your rank. Lower floors are pretty unpopulated, so most people play on floors 5-10. Once you get to floor 10, you get the chance to enter "celestial", the highest rank. You're allowed to enter celestial lobbies at this point, but you have to win 5 out of 6 games to stay in, otherwise you get sent back down to floor 10. If you win 5/6 games, you can't derank from celestial until the next month when it resets. It's a dumb system, and the skill gap in celestial is huge, since it's intermediate level players all the way up to the best in the world. Up until that point though, the game is pretty good at matching you with players of a similar skill level.
The lobbies aren't great either. They hold up to 32 players, and you have to go into the lobby to play ranked. There's a "wait in training mode" function so you don't have to interact with the lobby yourself, but the game is still putting you into a lobby and either randomly matching you with other players who are queued up for a match, or allowing players who are in the lobby to walk up and challenge you.
Thankfully, there are still a ton of people playing the game, and even at weird hours in my region I'm always able to find games. The netcode is also fantastic so if you and your opponent are both on a wired connection, it's often super smooth even if you're fairly far apart.
The game itself is super fun, so I'd recommend it despite the issues with the online experience. Getting into a match can be a bit more difficult than it needs to be, but once you're in, it's a blast.
