    Sins aesthetic activates my neurons in just the right way where i have for the first time ever found the desire and motivation to actually lab out specific scenarios to get better at him and really learn this game. Like usually ill play fighting games by having my handful of super simple combos, at most ill practice by drilling myself on mission mode combos but won't go out of my way to further explore the game's depth. Sin is the first character that has me excited to take part in the full learning and growing process.

And then a few days ago I see the Sin trailer, immidiately get Season 2, and have been duking it out online.

    To anyone who actually cares about what a gear is, here's more or less what we know: gears are, more or less, bioengineered super beings, created with magic. It was a project worked on by sol, That Guy, and the lady who will be justice. Sol is a proto gear, and, justice is a control gear, is I believe it's name. Basically, they can control all the other gears. Long and short of it, the gears, because of justice being pissed, cause more or less the second apocalypse after justice blows up Japan with ease. And that's basically what we know

    • @senounatsuru6453

      Yeah I felt that way for a little bit, but there's always a more optimal combo, better reads, roman cancel usage and counter play to learn. Really you don't need to grind something in training mode or something insane like that, you just need to keep playing the game, and if all else fails, you can change characters. I had a really hard time first starting out as May, but then I switched to Baiken and she just clicked better. Idk if it's the same for you, but I used to get really annoyed at losing, which would just make me lose harder. You can't let losing get to you, and you can use those losses as something to learn from when dealing with a certain playstyle or character.

      The reason being how they’re trying to recreate 2D anime art style in Xrd and strive with 3D graphics.
      With 2D fighters, they simply flip the sprite work, so what they do here is flop the model. It actually requires work as usually, that’s not how 3D games are made, so it’s done intentionally.

    Not a fan of any of the Xrd characters.
    And the old ones that came back has been a disappointment for me.
    This game is gonna have to create something really special or unique to make me come back and play it again.

      Thanks for saying something. I feel real similar. Like, with this Sin video, I just turned it off. Yawn.

      The term is "shota" which means boy

    Am I the only one that hates the combo counter and "COUNTER" splashes that come up on screen in this game? They're so obnoxious. If a combo gets high enough it takes up a good third of the entire screen. I really feel like it takes away so much of how great the game looks otherwise. Less is more imo.

      Guilty gear has always been the over the top presentation game. I think it’s okay because of how interactions work. Like how it slows down for a few frames so each player can really take in what just happened.

    whats up with the thumbnails lately?
    i like max, but the "clickbait" sometimes disgusts me so much, i dont want to click on the video anymore
    they just seem bad
    why exactly is cartoon max screaming at sin?

      Seems to me like the content of the video exactly matches the title of it. Doesn't seem like clickbait to me; you must be new here.

    Careful with the gender in RUclips titles, Max. They might up and 180 Sin to a trans male. "Sin started as a female this whole time (off screen)."
