Guilty Gear AC+R High Level Matches: Klaige (Anji Mito) vs Jason Riot (Sol)

Short description: This matchup SUCKS bucko!
Real description: Another set against one of, if not the best Sol in NA right now. This is far from the entire run of matches I've played against J riot in the past week, but i tried to find a solid run of them where it stayed competitive.
I'm still learning how to deal with this very precision oriented style of Sol, and let me tell you, it's hard. I'm making slow adjustments, but overall im still getting my head kicked in a lot more than i'm succeeding.
As sol players have adapted to this matchup more I'm starting to see it as possibly our worst matchup outright, risk-reward is just brutally tilted towards sol in most common situations, and small mistakes for Anji lead to massive punishment.
Ima keep working at it as I try to get ready for Frosty Faustings in February. Gonna do my best to put on a real show there for all you Anji fans.
Thanks for watching, like, sub, channel membership, blahblahblah.

17:10 That was slick. I'd be caught by that every time.

Anji looks way more fun in this game prolly why I dropped Strive😢

[@klaige]

It's because he *IS* way way way more fun in this game than that shell of a character in strive.

[@robotizedcyborg7788]

​@@klaigeJesus... "Shell"? Just how much did my man lose coming to strive?

[@dj_koen1265]

I don’t think its that he lost anything in particular that makes him less fun In strive
But that you just have way less depth to his gameplay

[@NomadNoah]

Sweet set, thanks for the upload!

[@dj_koen1265]

the round starting at 7:50 is amazing
you have some really nice moves across all of them though

[@abfloorr]

hey klaige. Have you tried the New and improved anji? He is incredibly sicko this time around i think. I dont know if you would like it or not and i like to hear your perspective on things like that

[@dj_koen1265]

i think he is burned out on strive because it was too disappointing for him, but since i personally havent been up to date with strive since the last strive klaige video i would watch it for sure if he makes one

Me again. Notes again. Just think a summary of what can be seen here is in order. My own replays are a bit too bad for my tastes.
Roundstart
6S>5H general purpose. Keeps good distance
236H if it hits, K 66 BFOki
Dont always superjump to get out of corner, 7 66 works fine.
Mashing 2P is FINE (at times). 2P(PP)>2D>236P
Guessing is good, reading is better. 5D is a reading man's tool
Wacky Super Jumps, jD to stop momentum. jS to get overhead in (whiff jH>grounded low??)
Keep pressure with long range moves 6S, 2P>2D>236P if the opponent likes blocking, 2S>5H
Blockstrings
236P BFhit 2P>2K Bhit+66 5S(3S)5S(3S)5S>236P (repeat at the enemy's patience)
236P BFhit 2P>2K Bhit+66 5P>6H for Bait. GP>Kou/Sou
236P BFhit 2P>2K Bhit 214P
Blocking 236HK, keep em guessing which side
3K for throw invuln? may be weak against lack of throw miss anim, req low-hitting 6H from enemy.
6H riskier GP timing. though preferable to GP mid/overhead
The Almighty BnB (if I just say BnB its either of these)
236HD (66 if needed) 236H 5K>5S>623H 236H (light characters/height dependent)
236HD (66 if needed) 236H 5K>5S>623H 29 jK>jS>jH>jD>j214P
236HD (66 if needed) 236H 5K>5S>623H BFOki
236HD (66 if needed) 236HK 5P>623H BFOki
623H goes into 6246H for slight extra damage
236P BFhit )3P Bhit 5S>5H>6P>5H>236HS BFOki
236P BFhit Bhit )3P RC 5S>5H>BnB
6S>5H>BnB

hey man, how about some vs. slayer gameplay in the future? slayer vs anji is a beautiful thing and should be appreciated 😂

[@justplayfly]

Very nice gameplay

[@avalonjustin]

Hey Klaige! I heard you're trained in Japanese swordsmanship IRL. Is that true?

[@ojjo1095]

Anji is godlike

[@ojjo1095]
