one thing to note is that if you want to use Eddie without having Zato use a move you can faultless defense while you press and release the move so Zato's doesn't come out but Eddie's does
Depends on which move you do. D is all of the meter, p you can do probly 5 or 6 hits maybe? Buzzsaw off k you can only do 3, and the shark maybe like 4? If you mix them all together it's all different but you get the idea. Id check the dustloop to be sure
Zato is insane, no other Arksys puppet character comes close. Perfect pressure, perfect mixup, perfect specials, perfect balance of strengths and weaknesses.
@@Aisoreta With how hard he is to play against, it's kinda hard to believe he's low tier sometimes Yeah sometimes he gets hit by an interaction that makes no heckin sense and dies in the combo that follows because he has no HP, but with how good his neutral is, how good his pressure is and how good his mix is, it's pretty hard to get him to mess up
Oh hey i made it into the video! Yeah i was so caught off guard by amorphous outright LOSING in that interaction at 9:45 that i wasnt ready to actually convert off of 5d lol. Im still baffled about that entire situation. Great vid btw
Yoooo, nice video as always! These kinds of videos always make me want to learn more characters, this game just has so many interesting picks, I can't seem to choose just one!
i'm glad you talked about flight and shadow gallery shenanigans movement fraud is the real reason i play zato the puppet shit is pretty cool too though
This format is such a great way of demonstrating the character. I didn't know Zato was this hilarious and wild (in the rare occasions he works lmao). Seems like a ton of work to just learn the character and play it at a good level to show it off properly, but keep up the great work!
I mean to this man since day one of strive and is my first fg, and I have had so much fun with him. His recent nerfs make me want to play Slayer or Jam but still, thank you for this extremely long video
@@LucidButtonMasher Man, Rev 1 Zato and AC+ Eddie still haunted me though. AC+ Eddie with those unblockables + command grab that works both standing and crouching opponents made me MOIST!!!
I'm glad you saw the magic in Zato aswell, he has been my second main for some time now, i'm still a Slayer main but i switch to Edward from time to time, he's just so fun
Ah, puppet characters, hard to learn and even hard to master but they're super fun somehow. Since I'm not so good at using Eddie, Zato's normals and anything that doesn't involve puppet mechanics are my main weapons, doesn't mean that I won't try using Eddie when needed.
Had a great time watching this video And i just noticed how Xrd zato looks so much like +r zato It looks like i am watching hd +r footage almost at times I won against a +r zato earlier today hehe so the animations are still fresh in my mind
Local gorilla learns the beauty of big brain puppet characters, majestic. Also, i feel you on those trials, i did every single character's trials and Zato was the last one lol
hey I was the yellow slayer 'labanana', using my cousin's steam account 😂😂😂 I didn't know it was you! The connection was not bad for Brazil-USA XD Late ggs my friend
It’s so awesome how you’re great at playing so many of the characters in this game, even someone like Zato! Really like the content you do, especially since I’m thinking of maining Slayer myself. By the way, you think you’ll do another “FGC VAs that Went HARD in the Recording Booth” video sometime?
@@LucidButtonMasherI guess I can understand. Though if you’re open to suggestions, I could probably mention some noteworthy ones to you. If not, that’ll be fine. P.S. Really love how his only specific voice line (at least in English) is his 2H where he just says “SHARK”. Found it during completing combo trials and thought it was pretty funny.
honestly lucid, i liked the part of the vid where it was you getting beaten the fuck up and how your character loses to alot of stuff in this game. you should do that more. i will give you a banana if you will...
@@LucidButtonMasheroh it isn't Hm it sounded like Hard Corps Uprising OST (which is done by Daisuke, but I guess I'm not paying attention, I think the common Boss theme 1 in Hard Corps sounds similar but regardless you can never go wrong with the Korean GG oat which I did recognize)
@@LucidButtonMasher Update: im currently in a room being coached by a Venom player on how to properly do the funny blue attack for defense, life couldnt be better
Man if there was a character archetype I wish I was good at, it'd be Puppet characters lol Zato, Carl Clover and to an extent Ms Fortune are all so damn cool but my brain is small and my fingers are weak
no he grabbed my chipps teleport :l lol that combo trail part is the reason i gave up on playing him when i started lol 7 and 10 is just wtf is this lol
Zato-1, one of the few characters that has the privilege of saying:
"GGs, shake _our_ hands."
Or claws
one thing to note is that if you want to use Eddie without having Zato use a move you can faultless defense while you press and release the move so Zato's doesn't come out but Eddie's does
Very true. A bit more advanced but very useful
Eddie:: I got this, fam.
Z: [laughs in Faultless Defense]
notation for this would be 4[P+S] > ]S[
When the Invite is Hell.
Got a good chuckle out of me
"Eddie what the hell!?" Ah yes .The true battle cry of the Zato player.
Eddie: 🤪
It's never my fault. Perfect option select

Never played xrd before, only strive. How many Eddie specials did you get off from full meter?
Depends on which move you do. D is all of the meter, p you can do probly 5 or 6 hits maybe? Buzzsaw off k you can only do 3, and the shark maybe like 4? If you mix them all together it's all different but you get the idea. Id check the dustloop to be sure

Great balance *zato is always low tier in the final version of the game besides GGML* insanely well balanced
It makes me cry, so bad in xrd. Down played to hell in +r though
Yeah plus r he's real good
@@Aisoreta With how hard he is to play against, it's kinda hard to believe he's low tier sometimes

a 12 minute vid on zato? its a good day fr
I try my best. Enjoy
Oh hey i made it into the video! Yeah i was so caught off guard by amorphous outright LOSING in that interaction at 9:45 that i wasnt ready to actually convert off of 5d lol. Im still baffled about that entire situation. Great vid btw
Many thanks. I remember you were like "i feel bad" in the lobby after lmao
5:19 BRILLIANT WORDSMITH
I try my hardest
man, zato is my antithesis, being someone who hates playing patiently and blocking, but god does it feel good to enforce that pressure on someone else
the same, however, cannot be said about arakune in BBCF
not only is he hard but he makes me need therapy
Yeah if i gave arakune another try i could possibly do it. But zato makes more sense. I suggest Relius instead
For me Zato (And Eddie in XX) was that character where I just pressed buttons, never really understood what I was doing, but it somehow worked.
It was hard to get over that phase
@@LucidButtonMasher As long as it's fun **shrug**
Facts
arcsys puppet characters hit different.
It do
Yoooo, nice video as always! These kinds of videos always make me want to learn more characters, this game just has so many interesting picks, I can't seem to choose just one!
No reason to hold yourself down play everyone!
Eddie silly teehee
He's a silly little boy
10:13 "It's SHARK WEEK"
It do be
You still alive old man......
Nice to see you again
I be here
11:00 Dead Silence! Haven't heard that in a while, good choice!
Just feels like a good song to end the video on
I was looking for a zato guide thank you so much for this!
Hope it's sufficient and realistic!
9:27 JP learned from Master Assassins
Oop
i'm glad you talked about flight and shadow gallery shenanigans movement fraud is the real reason i play zato the puppet shit is pretty cool too though
Gotta use every tool in the tool box
Finally I was starving for good content.
The month long wait is over

It's a fun challenge ngl
As a Ramlethal player I feel you on the weirdly specific combo trials. Also losing your overdrives in trades.
Combo trials are weird. Meh
I mean to this man since day one of strive and is my first fg, and I have had so much fun with him. His recent nerfs make me want to play Slayer or Jam but still, thank you for this extremely long video
Big welcome. Enjoy
he did it he made the vidya i can finally eat food again for i have a lucid vid to watch
I relate to that too much
7:54 grabbing a command grab, dont get more guilty gear than that😂
It do be like that
0:26 Fly, Eddie, FLY!
XD
He's doing his best
1:54 DAIGO DIMENSION!!!
Daisuke*
This is Rev 2 Zato btw aka who got nerfed to low tier just like his AC+R incarnation.
Plus r still really good tbh

Either punch or summon. I love it
Didn't know GUREITO WHAITO can be used that way,nicee
The pingpong clip is awesome as Hell!
Thank the combo trial that taught me
@@LucidButtonMasher Kid named Broken Fingers:
That one was easy by comparison to actual eddie control
Good shit, subbed
Many thanks stranger
damn...first clip was fucking cool
Took me a week to land in a real match. Worth
Big thx for the 10+ min vid 💜
Enjoy
I wish the next can be Leo, it's true that maybe it's not the most interesting one but want to see if I can learn more about my main.
If the people vote it next!
As a slayer main: Zato makes 0 sense lmao
Same but i did it
@@LucidButtonMasher slayer mains are starting to evolve past apes
ed, edd n zato
Breaking jaws as usual
Ah, puppet characters, hard to learn and even hard to master but they're super fun somehow.
Since I'm not so good at using Eddie, Zato's normals and anything that doesn't involve puppet mechanics are my main weapons, doesn't mean that I won't try using Eddie when needed.
Yep that's how it starts. You'll get there
Had a great time watching this video
And i just noticed how Xrd zato looks so much like +r zato
It looks like i am watching hd +r footage almost at times
I won against a +r zato earlier today hehe so the animations are still fresh in my mind
They're pretty faithful to each other luckily
Local gorilla learns the beauty of big brain puppet characters, majestic.
Also, i feel you on those trials, i did every single character's trials and Zato was the last one lol
He's tough as nails but fun
Zato is a sophisticated gorilla
🦍 🍷
I love the shark super, it sucks that it gets you so little reward though. Zato players straight up dont use it.
You know, all 2 of them
Well 50% thinks it's cool so I'll keep it up
@LucidButtonMasher hell yeah man, fun for fun's sake
Don't talk to me or my evil demon ever again.
Body parasite? Something like that
@@LucidButtonMasher Shadow Demon, Body parasite? Same thing.
10:05 poor man's dark angel
Very poor
hey I was the yellow slayer 'labanana', using my cousin's steam account 😂😂😂
I didn't know it was you!
The connection was not bad for Brazil-USA XD
Late ggs my friend
Ggs bud. Rollback is a dream come true
ok thats cool, now show it vs. slayer 6p
Hopefully Eddie takes the hit
Your vids got me into Gear and I gotta thank you for it. Time for the Lucid Carl Arc?
I briefly had his arc in my last streams of bbcf back like 2 years ago
Does anybody know the name of the song used near the end of the video, it's not in the 3 songs listed in the description
Whoops i forgot to put it for some reason. Didn't think i did 4 whole songs. Dead silence (mirror match theme korean +R)
It’s so awesome how you’re great at playing so many of the characters in this game, even someone like Zato! Really like the content you do, especially since I’m thinking of maining Slayer myself.
By the way, you think you’ll do another “FGC VAs that Went HARD in the Recording Booth” video sometime?
I dunno, its been awhile since I've heard any good quotes, the 3 videos were all i could think of at the time
@@LucidButtonMasherI guess I can understand. Though if you’re open to suggestions, I could probably mention some noteworthy ones to you. If not, that’ll be fine.
P.S. Really love how his only specific voice line (at least in English) is his 2H where he just says “SHARK”. Found it during completing combo trials and thought it was pretty funny.
I use his plus r version of the shark line for some of the censor sounds on this video lol. It's more "ssshaaaaark"
@@LucidButtonMasher Oh, just heard it. Though I kinda prefer his more monotone delivery in Xrd.
It's more fitting for the character in this game for sure
honestly lucid, i liked the part of the vid where it was you getting beaten the fuck up and how your character loses to alot of stuff in this game. you should do that more. i will give you a banana if you will...
Lol so complaining?
Question, is that the Hard Corps Uprising music I hear at the beginning
Not sure what that is, music is in description though if you're curious
@@LucidButtonMasheroh it isn't
Hm it sounded like Hard Corps Uprising OST (which is done by Daisuke, but I guess I'm not paying attention, I think the common Boss theme 1 in Hard Corps sounds similar but regardless you can never go wrong with the Korean GG oat which I did recognize)
Ram/Bed guide when? (Im looking for that last push to buy the game and these two seem really interesting to me)
Haven't touched ram, but i played a good amount of bedman and made like 2 or 3 videos on him then. Id check them out!
@@LucidButtonMasher I’ll report back when I hopefully master the character to show u how useful the vids are (This may take decades)
Also touch Ram it’s probably better than grass
I'll put her in the next poll if the people want it
@@LucidButtonMasher Update: im currently in a room being coached by a Venom player on how to properly do the funny blue attack for defense, life couldnt be better
I'm just glad he's inevitably becomes low tier in every game he's in, lol.
Not plus r luckily
Isn’t he considered low tier just above bridiget and robo?
funny dio voice man
Agreed
Man if there was a character archetype I wish I was good at, it'd be Puppet characters lol
Zato, Carl Clover and to an extent Ms Fortune are all so damn cool but my brain is small and my fingers are weak
Little by Little you'll get there
Can you do a Eddie video of ggxxac+r pls? 👉🏻👈🏻
Maybe one day. Down to go through plus r characters like this
Where are you finding these matches brother? I’ve only gotten 1 in the past 3 weeks
Pc. Go to the player lobbies. World lobbies are dead. Or better yet, host a lobby and add to the list. Do recommend
@@LucidButtonMasher thanks brother, now I shall become a button masher
Enjoy. It's fun out there
Ed Boi!
Life has many drill doors ed boy
wait were you playing zato in a public lobby like a few days ago against a ram i SWEAR that was you
Could be. If it was "Lucid" haven't played xrd in awhile though
zato's normals do overall feel like worse nrvnqsr normals although to be fair eddie is around more than summons
Now that i think about it yes
Make jump D a knockdown 😏
That would be wild
Only off the wall at a certain angle hard knock in neutral with jD is S+ tier shit aha
I'm so fucking embarrassed. I played Eddie/Zato my whole life and he's already better then me
Probably not. I cut these into highlights for a reason lol
@@LucidButtonMasher
Trust me, you are
no he grabbed my chipps teleport :l lol
that combo trail part is the reason i gave up on playing him when i started lol 7 and 10 is just wtf is this lol
Honestly they're too specific and don't need to be done like that. Just start playing him and ignore those
@@LucidButtonMasher alright i guess i might play him a bit but my love for baiken now is to strong
It'll take a bit but just toy with him if you're fighting someone too easy for your baiken
when are you going to main Carl?
I tried him for a bit in my last blaz blue streams way back when
@@LucidButtonMasher you don't play the game anymore?
It's been awhile. Focusing on gear mostly but i do want to play bbcf again. Wanted to look at funny wolf man
Zato looks and animates so weirdly in this game compared to Strive.
Definitely a different game
I personally like zato in strive more visually speaking although I can’t say that for every character
For example i much prefer elphelt design in xrd
Pad zato?
Indeed
Big props, what are your button binds?
Everything's default expect blitz on right trigger
Sees 6p and no Slayer.
*sad Dandy Steps* but seriously Eddie and his stand seems all Jojo like. MONKE character?
Pretty much. Dio voice actor so very jojo
@@LucidButtonMasherJotaro voice actor also, so EVEN MORE JoJo.
