Cool guide. Didn't play Strive for a while now, but I think I'll pick it back up now that Faust's been given new toys to play with. Also, I believe you didn't mention his 3rd super. It's W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-what Could This Be? The move is 236236236P, uses 100% Tension and throws out 10 items instead of 4 like the normal version. It's a bit meme-y, but it can get you out of clutch when the opponent's at low HP as it essentially eliminates neutral for a couple of seconds
Bro I thought you were trolling me! I had no idea this was a thing and I'm so glad u mentioned this. I'm going to pin this comment so others can see. I cant wait to use this in a match
@@Ladewaybac yo dude i dont want to come off as annoying but fausts need anything they can use. many of the combo routes/options followups rc tips and the likes are not good for faust or dont really use his strength in combos to squeeze out that damage/oki/corner carry esp in the mix use (holdin up etc) dont want to come off as the dude who didnt make a guide and throws shade but since other people will look to replicate what they see i think you should update it have a good day fam and keep the faust army growin if you got questions @me im always happy to help :) (im just too lazy to make a video its too spooky for me)
just play ranked, plenty of sucky players in ranked (like me) and then you have a better chance of facing someone at your own skill level. i can tell you there are lots of people in ranked who dont know wtf theyre doing :D (like me)
the scarecrow above is good if you anticipate an opponents attack, and you can't use your super, it's quick, get's you out of the way, and if they aren't expecting it, it's almost always a free hit.(it's also great for dodging some supers if you can manage it, like sol's forward super, or zato's super)
Great guide! I just got into Guilty Gear by playing with my friends and I love Faust, but I was having trouble understanding his moves. This made things a lot clearer and you explained everything really well! Keep it up!
You put me on to Jack O, and now Faust, thank you! Also, you can combo off of Mix-Mix-Mix if you travel downwards, input Mix-Mix-Mix then go 6 - 3 - 2 (end on 2) and right after you can c.S -> 2S to another Mix or Super (if you have meter), or another c.S -> j.S -> j.Hs -> (Mix-Mix-Mix) Wallbreak.
This your guide is so nice, i always wanted to play faust from day one but my motion inputs sucked. However i have gotten a lot better at doing the inputs in the heat of battle and your guide is helping me learn Faust.
Hey bro nice guide here's some niche faust stuff: you can back dash the weight say you spamming item toss you see a weight, throw another item then back step to dodge impact then keep spamming. Also faust dust attack can work on his other items not just bomb. try it out lol
I used to play Faust at launch, but then became a May main. Now that I'm ready to use my brain again instead of mashing, I'm excited to return to faust. This guide helps me a ton! I couldn't figure any wallbreak combos out myself, thanks!
thanks man, after like 70 hours with nago only, I wanted to pick up a 2nd character that can actually jump haha. and I love the chaotic energy of faust
Glad you mentioned the guard break on Afro Love. You probably forgot to mention that Afro Love detonation cannot hurt Faust, unlike regular Love. So it's better against opponents who want to jump up and trade hits when you throw out Love. Also, are you aware of Super PRC with Faust? You can PRC during the invincible startup of Bone-Crushing Excitement and in total it only spends 50% meter for what is essentially an invincible PRC. ApologyMan uses it a lot into grab and Snip. It's a good mix-up on opponents who tend to block your wakeup Overdrives. I think Krackatoa does a great job in one of his VODs on breaking down why using 2P in neutral opens up some opponents to low dive kick (j.2K). Kind of gets into theory, maybe beyond the scope of this guide, but useful none the less.
just pick up that character and had no idea what he is about and what am i supposed to do when playing him. your video helped me alot! and it is version 1.10 THAT is huge
fausts super can be used to counter a super you're expecting, it will straight up go through it, but it can be risky, if it's may's whale, or something that is ranged it won't work, but if someone is near you, you can pull it off, and it feels great to pull off
I have a friend that plays sin, and it is so funny when one of us gets wall broken and we both mash out supers lol. Usually my shin breaker wins out, but it depends on the situation
22:17 to make it better, 214S > RC > 6321454HS (reversal) >> RC > snip snip/forward dust (remember that both reversal and dust work way better if fast rc) reversal > rc takes only 50 meter and gives invincibility
Yo dude, awesome guide. New player from Xbox. But I've been wanting to play forever. Faust is by far my favorite character to play, but he's a bit too hard to play for me rn. Do you have any suggestions for beginners?
Solid information in this. I'd advise a word of caution on just through j.D out there though. The hurtbox on it is not in Faust's favor/disjointed in any way and will lose to c.S or 6P all day. Your best bet is to mix up your double jump timing if you're trying to drop on top of them with it.

I’ve played GG maybe once in my life, and always remembered Faust. I just picked up Strive, and I think I’m going to main him. Long road ahead, but he just looks to much fun.
@@Ladewaybac thank you! Now my worries are gone I'll invest alot of time on this character in the near future I want also to have 1 female character to main, ill choose Milia Rage (she's waifu) what does she excel at?, Can you define her if it's ok? My reasons One male character to main and one female character to main. These will only be my two characters to put a lot of attention.

@@Ladewaybac Cool
This isn’t even in the command list lol, this is incredible
@@cuno6118 how do you do it on console?
"it's slow, but you will land it" truer words have never been spoken
Love the vid. Im not great at combos so this helped a lot
Glad I could help
One of the best character guides I’ve ever seen
Thanks bro! That means a lot
Thanks for the guide. It's hard to play as Faust, but I love him. I only play casual.
Your welcome! I've taken a liking to Faust as well, he comes second to Jack-O though. I'll be making more Faust videos in the future
@@Ladewaybac Cool! Faust is the only reason I got the game and from playing old Guild Gear during childhood. I like old Faust design better.
just play ranked, plenty of sucky players in ranked (like me) and then you have a better chance of facing someone at your own skill level. i can tell you there are lots of people in ranked who dont know wtf theyre doing :D (like me)
He’s the first character I ever played so he’s all I know lol

Very concise guide, thanks for making this bro. He’s a pretty weird character so it really helps to have an up to date guide.
Happy to help! We need more Faust players 😁

I've never tried dust attack on Faust other items. Thanks for the tip bro, imma go lab this 👍
Love the guide! Great video. The Scarecrow into Snip-Snip-Snip literally dropped my mouth
Glad you enjoyed!
As a faust main stuck on lvl 7, this video earned my sub
Happy to have you here bro!
I used to play Faust at launch, but then became a May main. Now that I'm ready to use my brain again instead of mashing, I'm excited to return to faust. This guide helps me a ton! I couldn't figure any wallbreak combos out myself, thanks!
Happy to help! Faust is to fun to put down
Thank God, one less may player
thanks man, after like 70 hours with nago only, I wanted to pick up a 2nd character that can actually jump haha. and I love the chaotic energy of faust

In my video yesterday a Faust was canceling his overdrive on wake up and I was confused by it. Makes sense now
just pick up that character and had no idea what he is about and what am i supposed to do when playing him. your video helped me alot! and it is version 1.10 THAT is huge
Glad I could help! I have tons of Faust gameplay if your interest 👍

fantastic guide, keep it up! Faust supremacy babyyyyyyyyy
Glad you enjoyed it! How about dem items!
I'm a Faust main and I must say this was well done and informative, bro.
Sidenote: your voice sounds like Andre 3000
You aren't him right?
Lol I just sang an outcast song and I dont hear the resemblance
I’ve played GG maybe once in my life, and always remembered Faust. I just picked up Strive, and I think I’m going to main him.
Long road ahead, but he just looks to much fun.
This is also my first Guilty gear, and I must say Faust is very fun and extremely satisfying when played good
Afro bag doesn't explode Faust himself.
Thanks for mentioning 👍
great vid!
Thanks bro! hope it helped you
I stayed away faust but after testing his movest without using items is pretty good
Kinda late but u frgt to include you can backdash to not get stun from the 100 ton. Very good vid tho learned a couple things thx!
Glad I could help bro 👍
great stuff thanks!!!!!!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
faust can be slow, but he has range, and he's good at confusing an unprepared enemy,
he has cool sneakers, gonna give him a try.
Solid reasoning 👍👍 light this afros on fire
Thanks.
BLUE RED AND BLAAAAAAAAACK PAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRAAAAAAANNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

is there specific timing for his safe jump after command grab? or do you just press j.d as soon as possible? i get hit by DPs sometimes trying that
It has to be done as soon as possible to work
I just started playing this game and im choosing faust is he good? Ive some people say faust is bad!
Hes not bad. It just takes a lot of work make him work
@@Ladewaybac thank you! Now my worries are gone I'll invest alot of time on this character in the near future I want also to have 1 female character to main, ill choose Milia Rage (she's waifu) what does she excel at?, Can you define her if it's ok?
My reasons
One male character to main and one female character to main.
These will only be my two characters to put a lot of attention.
Is it possible to get good playing on controller?
Yup! I do pretty good and I use a PS5 controller
