    In case you didn't know, goldlewis was supposed to be in the base game but he wasn't ready on release day so they pushed him out later, hence why we got 1 extra dlc character than we will get in season 2 so its not a waste of a dlc slot if there wasn't one to waste

    11:00 true, but there’s a bit of context missing. For one, high damage usually was more situational, or required more (hits, a counter hit, meter, the corner). Another thing is that some characters just do more damage in Strive than in previous games. Last one, some characters were specifically known for big damage (like Slayer)

    To add more about the Gatling Changes.
    While the low level gatling is more complicated with the need of a specific chart, while the older one is simpler to understand.
    However, the script gets flipped the higher you go in skill go. Gatling charts was really important for characters pressure and varying it up. While normally, not all characters abused the full length of their gatlings, having access to an expansive allowed characters to abuse it to vary up their strings. I'll be using Ky as an example , since I play him all GG.
    In older GGs, Barring the Oki situation in Xrd where he just goes " IM A MIX UP CHAR NOW BABY" , he uses his varied options in his gatling to vary his strings to go into 6k or other plus on block options to reset his pressure OR jump cancel for stuff.
    Or end his strings in various points to minimize the enemy immediately doing something out of his string.
    In strive, he CAN still do this but with extreme limitations and in turn making him extremely more predictable.
    Another caveat to this, is that character who didnt have any immediate Offensive mix up tools , like an overhead or command grab, can be pushed up in power levels by compensating them with a better gatling charts. So in turn its another way to add personality to a character by differentiating them to another of the same archetype, or as a balancing tool or both.
    Like you can differentiate two set play schix characters by giving them different gatlingss. One having a good one, while the other is kinda shit and taking power away in another part.
    You cant do that in strive which, personally , is sad cause it limits the aspect of a character they can tweak for nerf or buffs.
    Also makes characters that were reliant on on their gatling charts to mix people up inherently weaker than those with command grabs or mix ups and giving characters that already have those tools a much stronger offense.
    Which in turn moves to my second point, the Special move removal
    I DO AGREE about them taking some special moves out, and yes keep pin out oh Strive.
    What I just want to disagree that characters now are "purer" than their old counterparts.
    Like millia with Pin didnt become a neutral monster
    She still struggled to get in and needed to rely on pin to get in.
    Ky didnt become an offensive monster ( you can argue Xrd iteration sure) etc
    They sstill had clear weakness and strengths despite having tools that addressed those
    mostly cause it was needed due to the tools of OTHER characters in those aspects they were bad in being better and without those moves they would be totally helpless
    **DOE THERE ARE SOME MOVES WHO REALLY ARE JUST EW
    LIKE GREED SEVER AND RIOT STAMP
    Special moves getting booted from striev is just a consequence of lowering the power levels and is done to hopefully not make the game a broken mess
    and less about making them more "Purer" representation of their archetype

    Honestly my biggest gripe with strive is the defense, back in +R you had slashback which had the same timing as IB in strive but give *much* better rewards for landing but if you whiff you literally can't block for a bit, in xrd you have blitz for 25 meter that literally rejects you but like slashback, it punishes you for not using it well. One thing that both +R and xrd have is dead angle which was replaced by yrc (which still fucks with me because yrc was already a thing) which is much weaker. And finally the change to throws making them 2 frames which means there's a disincentive to try anything other than block on wakeup, it just doesn't feel fun unless I am on offense, IB really doesn't help you that much for its risk, FD is strong but with the high cost of 50 meter for anything else almost makes you not want to use it so you can use the meter for later, and the throw changes mean your punished much harder for trying. Running your offense feels god tier, but on defense it's not fun at all unless you're playing baiken because no other characters have defensive options that either are 50 meter for plus frames (yrc), easy combo if you miss (reversal super/dp), big counterhit because it not loses to meaties (throw), or burning meter which you're not getting back without somehow turning the tides (FD).

  • @Nyagro
    @Nyagro 2 года назад +11

    On the topic of the removal of character's tools from previous series you mentioned that they got streamlined and only kept the parts core to their gameplan.
    However, that's only one part. Each character now only has one single goal and their reduced moveset is only focused on that. Sure some characters lost their more gimmicky tools but the hyper focus on only a single goal per character and the reduced moveset across the board made the approach and the achievemnt of that goal very linear.
    Adding the fact that the entire gatling system is the same across all characters makes the roster way more homogenized than before. That in turn makes learning matchups way easier because there is little variation between characters when it comes to routing but also means less unique characters and less freedom when it comes to pressure and general combo routing.

    The real evolution of the story is how in all the early GG games, there’s so much Foe Yay between Ky and Sol and you think they were being marketed as an official would-be gay couple (they had a bara artist even illustrate one of the album covers!) but here we are, where Ky and Sol are now son-in-law/father-in-law, Ky’s married to Sol’s 8 year old daughter with a 5 year old son; and fuck knows what the Valentines are (Sol’s daughters? Sister-in-laws?!) and basically it has evolved into a convoluted family tree so insane it choked out the typical yaoi shipping by sheer weirdness.

    As someone who has slowly grown really fond of the dlc characters (rn I'm maining goldlewis and learning happy chaos) I find it really intresting that you, and a lot of other people, didn't really get much out of season 1. So I'd like to share some of my thoughts for the dlc characters:
    -Goldlewis, the big boy with big boy damage, I started out playing pot in strive because I liked the high risk high reward, and making reads made me feel smart at the start; but the more I played the more I felt like flipping a coin with pot, and goldlewis clicked with me, he was that all or nothing character I really wanted.
    I think that his playstyle is neat, he has some AMAZING neutral tools (like j.D and 684bt) but he doesn't have tools that let him cover all his basis, so he has to play smart with them. I can see why people dislike fighting him, because he can be a really unstable matchup, and because you kinda have to know the matchup or get obliterated.
    -Jacko, I still don't understand how she's supposed to play, and among all the dlcs is the one I'd ask to get refunded if I could, she looks cool but I just don't get how she should play, so it's frustating both playing with and against her for me.
    -Happy chaos, best character design (on par with testament and nagoryuki), 6s is my favourite move in the game it's so silly and I love it; with the newer changes it looks like he's much more bearable to play against since now we can interact at least. He's a really cool character in my eyes even if I feel like I did a finger workout after 2 games with him.
    -Baiken, the most normal and approachable dlc character, which imo is pretty good and was pretty needed in this season pass. She consistent meterless mix (which is pretty rare besides rekkas) which is pretty cool, and all of her moves feel really good to throw out. It was a bummer that we didn't get a more defense focused character, but I still think baiken is neat.
    -Testament, another top tier character design, but they feel kinda weird playing them, I played them for a good while at launch and it always felt like all their stuff didn't flow too well with each other (especially for combos, but I could be wrong since I didn't play nor fight them much since their release). 6h feels amazing tho. I'm kinda happy with testament, but I just wish they worked a bit better for me.
    All in all, while I personally liked the characters overall, I really think arc sys needs to balance what characters they release better. Like the season pass (besides baiken) felt like it was just full of gimmicks, which can be fun for some people don't get me wrong, but I think it should be half and half for season 2, so like 2 straight characters (maybe sin and jhonny/jam), 2 gimmick characters (like delilah and maybe robo ky?) and then one middle of the road (someone like leo or anji)

    About IB, despite it being 2 frame window, it carries almost no risk and It's actually really useful. If you release the stick to neutral while your in blockstun, you are still technically blocking, so when you go back to down back before the blockstun ends, if you timed it right then BOOM.
    IB without almost any risk.

    You forgot to mention the GODAWFUL WAY THIS GAME HANDLES MATCH ROUNDS. I hate the fact that this game just makes each player play three matches no matter what. It feels awful when one player wins the first two and then player two wins the last one. Like, did player 2 finally adapt to player 1's playstyle, or did they just get lucky? WHO KNOWS. And also the fact that your rank can change on the first match with someone is so stupid. I had so many times the situation where I lost the first game, but thought to myself: "It's okey, I think I figured out what they are doing and can beat them now", but then I deranked and can't play with that opponent again and it just feels so bad. I really am surprised this hasn't been fixed yet, it's just so fucking stupid.

    One bit about the lobbys: I never (after a few patches) had problems connecting with someone who is not in training mode. If you are actually in the lobbys you can observe a lot of bugs happening to players and they are always in training mode. Not being in training also gives the possibility of unlimited rematches since both players can simply rematch at the same duel station. This in no way excuses the state the lobbys are in. Just want to say that there is an option (a shitty one) which addresses some of the issues people have with the lobbys. I myself have chosen to not go into training mode since I can get into matches in seconds by just going up to another player and I (mostly) can avoid the buggy states some players find themselfes in.
    Aside from the bugs happening in the lobbys the max number of people in a lobby is absolute dogshit. 24 players is the max I have seen which means there is a maximum of 23 other players I can match with throughout my entire region. Why the fuck ArcSys?

    -Story wise is actually quite good, and they improved a lot since XRD, since not many ppl like the VisualNovel aspect of it, in this one they literally made it fully animated rather than animated in specific sections and end with portraits and dialogue box's all the time and you could tell they where deliberately cutting corners in Xrd/Revelator with those in-game animations a bit(but ArcSysW was a small team back than so gotta be mindfull of that). Not that I dislike it, I love VN's my self, so having more to read, means more time emersed in the world of guilty gear that's a franchise I grew up with. But definitely, understanding all the story from all guilty gears will make this story feel like the final blast and conclusion to Guilty Gear as a whole.
    - DLC, specially Jack-O... thats how Jack-O newbies plays, real jack-O's going to troll you so hard and miss atks at point black you will want to pull ur hairs out. Also she is the queen of "freedom of expression" her combos are so vast, that I can literally play dozens of matches and still pull off 1 Unique combo you have never seen previously in each one of them, and this was before the patch, now she is soo smooth to play with.
    - Happy Chaos, just got rebalanced now with this new patch. And is still quite cool to play with regardless he got patched or not.
    - Meanwhile for me Baiken is boring af... but most of this is just personal opinion.

    you can cheese boss Nago as Gio pretty hard. start a round with a throw and then 2 consecutive wake up throws, after that, you can just bait Nagos super and blood rage, block either one, and even if you are a full screen away from them, you can dash twice and land a charged dust combo. wake up 2D IABD and repeat

    Been thinking a bit about this video since it came out, specifically the portion about the character designs.
    I disagree strongly that the characters have been rounded off into a more pure, naturalistic state. For the vast majority of the roster, the characters have just been changed or lessened.
    One of the examples used in the video is Ky, where you rightfully point out that he is no longer a setplay character, but more of a traditional shoto. But that's kind of the issue, isn't it? Ky was a setplay character, who used a shoto-like fighting style to achieve that. Now, he's just a shoto, and not a particularly interesting one at that. You also mention Baiken, and I don't think I need to go through why she is a travesty in design.
    Some characters have received adjustments that keeps them in the overall archetype, but a different sub-section of it. Potemkin, I'd argue, is a pretty great example of this, as he used to be a more mobile grappler with a bigger toolkit to getting in and staying in. But they changed him to have an overreliance on the Potemkin Buster, which was wacky fun for the first few months, but at this point, the damage output isn't as fun or interesting as a well-rounded moveset would be, for either Pot or his opponent.
    Other characters are just a hollow shell of what they're supposed to do. Faust is based around throwing a random item and then converting off of it, so they decided to make his item-pool significantly less interesting, and removed his pogo-stance to make it harder to convert. If his archetype is playing off randomness, why is he worse at it?
    I'm generally not against changing characters, but there has to be a point to it. Street Fighter V ran headfirst into this wall in season 1, where just about everyone was less interesting than in previous games, and Capcom spent five years apologizing for it. This apology-era got us wonderful reworks of Cody, Poison and Seth, and introduced arguably the best versions of Rose, Oro, Dan, Blanka, Dhalsim, Honda, Guile, R. Mika, Guy (by way of Zeku), and finally and hopefully, Street Fighter 6.
    But as Capcom learned their lessons, Arc Sys decided to run straight into the same wall. They probably even aimed for the marking of Capcoms bloody nose. And based on how season 2 is going, they've begun their own little apology-arc, but from the wrong angle. They've broken open the system in ways that makes the overall game worse, while ignoring the core issue that's been plaguing this game since release: Everyone is the least interesting version of themselves.

    Question
    I beat Nago in arcade mode with an AI partner. Didn't go back since then. Does that mean that the game resets and I can play against Nago myself as that same character next time in arcade mode?
    And do if I play decided before I beat Nago with that character, that I wanted to fight him as a different character, would I be fighting him solo or with the AI?
    Also does he go berserk the second time I fight him whatever difficulty I'm on?
    Also what is life?
    Also will I be fighting berserk Nago with AI help if I lose to him the first time?
    And is there a steam achievement for these pointless things I'm asking?
    All things popping in my mind that I dont know and didn't think about until this vid told me I could've beaten him solo but I was clearly to trash for that. Major oof

    The problem with the Story is you won't really love it unless you know the story in Xrd and followed it. I do agree it needed more fights and i wish the whole hide and seek with the president didnt take forever, but you can't say the whole ending with I-No didnt look AMAZING. It was GREAT. But unlike gekko, I was more invested with the chars in the main story than the second story XD (tho I love them both XD)
