3 mechanics I'm glad they removed from Guilty Gear Strive 

Idk, sounds greenlit to me

yes she does

"Characters are just funtions"

I hope she comes to strive on the story only

no love for elphelt. Sadge.

Had the same feeling with Tekken 7. Not sure if it wasn't the RU-vid algorithm though...

@@sabbatik more than likely the algorithm unless you have personalized ads turned off in your google account settings.

Yeah I wish they removed health tbh, dying because you run out of it is really annoying

Not a miss, I'll say.

Playstation All Stars: My time has come.

@@megablueflash1816 yikes

@@megablueflash1816 Why must you remind me

the more hist you clash the more the zoom intensifies

Danger Time in Strive would probably be 360° turn of the camera upon activition.

I want to see a mod where this happens and watch people play it and try not to throw up the whole time.

Tripping in Brawl is the equivalent of Cross Assault in SFxT. It’s a dumb mechanic but it doesn’t really matter because you don’t run in that game.

The tripping mechanic sucks but i have heard from top players that most people are overrating on how annoying it actually was since it very rarely affected the outcome of a match, it sucked when it happened but yeah that stuff shouldn't even be a thing.

Tripping was honestly even worse than it seems at first glance because the SS tier character in that game, Metaknight never has to run because he can fly and glide across the screen and has five midair jumps, so it effectively buffs what is already the best character in the game. Goddamn, Brawl sucks.

It also took until Ultimate in order to get a stage hazard switch lol

Yeah I'm really happy about that.

Wait, whats the input?

@@fortidogi8620 any button, it's just that it's now one button press to fully "succeed" at stagger rather than pointless mashing during hitstun

Unless they highlight this and emphasize what it is repeatedly in mission mode, people will hate this. Most fgc vets(not just gg vets) have been taught that when you get dizzied YOU MUST MASH. it's been an established solution to get out of dizzy state since sf2. I sincerely hope they emphasize this repeatedly.

@@janematthews9087 Betting the mission mode will with how in depth it's shaping up to be but the bigger issue is idk if people will skip over it lol

I don't know anyone being calm in DT. Either it's an immediate chicken blocking jump back fest or people are just mashing crazy and hoping they aren't the one being eaten alive.

I do neither I play like I was doing before danger time. You guys act like you gonna die in real life if you lose in danger time lmao

as a naoto player, yeah

That was actually funny. I was initially thinking of naoto from persona 4 arena. Then I remembered the thumb crusher from bb....

I-I liked building setplay vs different wake up speeds on all the chars 😌😌😌

@@LordKnightfgc Different setplay is good and fun, but not all setplay is built evenly with it in mind. For instance, Dizzy strictly can't set up H Fish against I-No, Sol, and Ky because they can jump FD clean to shrink their hitbox and dodge the laser on wakeup. Also, P Fish and K Fish work on extremely different spacing rules as well as per character because the different spacing creates different travel time, which makes you need specific combo routes on each character to make certain oki possible. Meanwhile Ky can setup the exact same oki on everyone because the move starts up and stays active early enough and throughout the entire mixup. And then there's prenerf Raven orb oki. Not to say Dizzy's mixup and oki is bad (it's quite scary), but it's way more complicated that it hurts the barrier of entry for more players, which is one of the core design philosophies for Strive (which I feel maybe is swinging a bit hard on that philosophy). However a different game already exists that solves that situation with a deeper and more engaging wakeup system. I come from Blazblue like you and I love that system. I much prefer being able to control my wakeup as opposed to being given 2 set duration that my opponent controls. You give everyone different risks and rewards for different tech options, and when you have an oki option way too powerful (Kokonoe's black hole), the dev team can easily identify it and balance it accordingly.

@@LordKnightfgc I like it too, but I'm fine with it not being a thing. I enjoy the character dependency on wakeup, combos, all that in XX, but don't think it's a terrible choice that they're making some of that more universal.

@DJ RADIO RABBIT So meatis is the meta of Strive?

I enjoyed baiting techs with air grabs, but yeah that mechanic had more negatives than positives. Also staggers literally only had negatives, I'm glad they're gone.

When it happens we both just go like oooooohhhh fuuuuuuckkkkk

I can't wait to die

She was revealed in a steam screenshot

@@ViBeZ-mt6tn nah that shit was fake. However a really recent interview reveals that for the base roster it was Ram or El and they went with Ram, so she’ll probably come soon anyways Here’s the translated interview (www.reddit.com/r/Guiltygear/comments/nsktek/new_4gamer_interview_with_ishiwatari_and_katano/?)

@@kidbuumer4780 I'm too lazy to read But this is exciting if you're correct

Legitimately I really love what they did with Ram, so I would actually really like to see what they do with Elphelt.

your comment proves his point, its party game mechanics. Its bad for the competitive players. You could have the ability to turn it on or off maybe?

@@hil449 If you don’t cater to casuals to some degree, you don’t get the sales needed to support the game. Strive is doing better because it’s more casual friendly, but having things like that certainly wouldn’t hurt it. Calling them “party game mechanics” is fair to a degree, in the same way insta kills in older titles were or AH in BB are. Yet people don’t seem to complain about those for some reason…

Me too

To remove Guts they would have to rebalance a lot of things.

@@JaquetaoSlayer Not at all. Guts is just effective health at the end of the day. Make a standard health system and give characters more or less total health based on what their total effective health was with guts. Same thing except more clarity.

Not after you hear it a million times, just like every song

That's because the maps are smaller

thats the same complain x2 players had about xrd lol

@Donovan I don't prefer it and it's a little jarring but I just gotta get used to it.

@@dishinthetruth8146 same. also it feels like strive camera is a bit more zoomed out than xrd but you see way less vertically

That still happens in Dragon Ball for instance, but in Xrd you can be punished for hitting an opponent in the air, or even having the opponent stealing your turn.

Party mechanic.

@@Wiziliz all fun n games until Sol lands a dustloop during danger time. thats when the partys over

@@gear_impact6707 that would suck in a tournament. Its totally random

@@hil449 im well aware, my comment is mostly a joke, tho i do, in fact, find it hilarious whenever this mechanic kicks in

Maybe the super CH effect in Strive was based off Danger Time....

I can see where you're coming from but some of these mechanics just end up being unfun, if the devs add some crazy mechanic that makes the game insane and cool then all the power to them, but shit like danger time becomes incredibly unfun due to its random nature. It feels like at times some random bullshit happened rather than some cool mechanic that enhances gameplay. I'm not against crazy cool mechanics that enhance gameplay, but there are just some ideas that just aren't fun and the game might be better off without it.

I don't think the blame falls squarely on the players in the FGC, but also the unconscious influence of the "spectator" aspect too that's pushing devs towards making mechanics/ games that are fun to watch, but don't always end up being fun to play. I.e. Danger time. Incredibly hype to watch it happen, but not every player enjoys the mechanic when it happens.

I got some good news for you buddy.

Feels like there are a lot of legacy mechanics in GG like that, which were implemented for poor reasoning, or to 'fix' issues, and they just kinda remained in the game because 'they are guilty gear', even though they are pretty bad. Aka, guts, wakeup timings, character weight, stuns, mash tech, defense ratings, etc. Sadly, even though they are bad mechanics, a lot of the community will defend them because, again, these mechanics 'are guilty gear'.

@@Yepmyaccount Defense and Guts are nice as they can be a factor to balance out characters, many games have such mechanics though I would prefer a simple life points system. The other points I agree entirely.

@@Yepmyaccount what's wrong with guts or defense rating?

I like Stun in GG cause it gets high health and aggressive characters to be more careful with there approach because if they eat too many hits even if they don't lead into combos, they could lose the game very easily, it's not something that happens all too much when ur opponent is adapting to ur playstyle, also it just feels really satisfying to stun an opponent and get an IK

@@HellecticMojo In any game with health, defense, etc., it eventually just becomes a math equation that equals 'Effective health' a character has. Defense and guts just obscure visual clarity in the game for the sake of creating hype moments. Guts was designed to create more moments where both players are on a pixel of health, instead of letting it happen organically. It's an artificial hype mechanic. Sure, other games have defense rating systems, but for the most part, *most* fighting games just operate on a health system where some characters have more or less health. Now, there is an actual aspect to the guts/defense system in GG that creates 'more depth', but it has nothing to do with balancing aggressive characters. It creates situations where certain combo routes become less effective than others because of number of hits scaling down the maximum damage of attacks. Some people argue this creates more depth and flavor, but for the most part, it's just more artificial depth added to the game that creates higher barrier to entry, and becomes a memory game more than an actual test of skill for player interactions.

I'm not saying the wake up speeds aid in player expression, I mean that it is another aspect that makes the chars different and unique. I do understand it is a kind of arbitrary barrier for new people so I don't really mind that it's gone, I just like small details like that. You also have to plan around it and can potentially build some situations with it, which is cool.

sadly, that has returned

@@ThisJustOne Air tech is gone, and staggers are a timed button press in Strive

Ps4/5 preorders get you the game 1 day earlier

LK typically defines neutral as the part where no character is directly attacking the other. Trying to define it by "advantage" gets weird. Just ask the Enkidu players about the myth of "neutral" against Yuzuriha.

I think it's called okie I believe, you have to use a projectile like move or hit them as soon as they wake up. I could be wrong, fighterz was my first fighting game that I played full time, this is my second, so sorry if I'm wrong

I'm gonna have to disagree on YRC, but I don't like moves that shut down neutral like that in general. Zoners obv benefit from YRC too, they get to do projectile YRC from full screen and just lock you down 😭

Pretty crazy normals specials and pressure. A versatile character with unblockable setups and priority, just really strong and annoying to deal with.

@@maxrusty3596 and remember to say its super easy to use

Unga bungas hard and makes it hard for you to unga bunga and have fun;

Not to mention vanilla Elphelt had unblockable oki vortex. Meaning if you let her get ONE knockdown, you might as well drop the controller. Terrible first impression

Video soon????

They just share the name, they're not the same mechanic.

No fighting game is perfect, but xrd was fun, and I am betting Strive will be to, even if the games does have some negatives.

Tournament players aren't swinging wildly most of the time. And yet they still happen. It isn't a good mechanic for competitive play, only spectacle.

@@hazelv.a.7976 It mostly happens off of attempting to whiff punish an clashing or anti airing an clashing with the jump normal so those situations are hard to avoid. Think of it like an opportunity to get rid of your opponents burst an to do massive damage. We're playing Guilty gear a proper counter hit combo after cranking risc does more damage than danger time..... Get counter hit by Sol 6H or CH 6P. People just panic, get hit an blame it on danger time. We all love the mechanic when we aren't the one getting hit during it. How is it not good competitively. Both competitors know about the mechanic an go in knowing Danger time combos specifically for the situation. A lot of people have a bad mentality about danger time possible cause they were blown up by it the first time it ever popped up an ever since then they thought it was bad. I play Sol so it's normal for me to chase down my opponent an Sin so im used to doing a ton of damage for basically little effort so Danger time is fun to me. I get to murder people in less time than it normally would take. I taught my friend Guilty Gear an I ended up bodying him when danger time came up while explaining it to him. While he was hitting me he felt amazing but when I got a CH 6H into Bandit Bringer he said "Man, I see why people hate this mechanic" He said it cause he was salty he got hit. An now every time it comes up he mentally gives up an just tries to out run the timer. It's the wrong mind set. He's ingrained it in his mind when he sees that timer that he is going to get hit an lose when he's playing Sin Vs Sol. All he would need to do is Beak Driver, Bull Bash, or Elk hunt preemptively to stop my BLIND approach an hit me but he's alright mentally given up. So knowing that I just blindly run around like sol with a time bomb stuck to my chest trying to wild throw the dude for fun. What I'm saying is dont look at Danger time with a preconceived notion that your gonna get bodied instead think of it as a time to fight for your life, make a few dumb gambles etc. For competitive play you get 3 seconds to decide what you want to do. If you can YRC an make quick decisions then Danger times count down clock is a test in Yomi. I don't think what I am going to do when the countdown starts I think what will my opponent do.... "Oh I'm playing sol an I've Dp'd a few times so they think I'm going to DP" so I gamble on a Ground Viper an hope they don't mash, DP, or Run up wild throw. If I chose wrong an they block an counter.....shit I gotta hold that. It's bad for competitive say that to a slayer player who gets you in a combo an finishes with his Burst super, or a Sin who hit you with Far S Beakdriver Rc while you have no burst. The game is filled with situations that cause you to lose over 50% of your life. Danger time is just a rare scenario that can lead to even more damage. "It's bad for competitive play" Makes it sound like the person who wins cause of danger time doesn't deserve the W. They are top class professional players their combos do massive amounts of damage danger time or not. It's a fun mechanic that adds a layer of anxiety into the already high octane game of ground based footsies we know. Kekw

@@defianthound407 I reccomend this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mQJhfxEp2EM.html I have never had danger time make me lose, I play Sol and my friends who play aren't great at the game. Every time it activates it outright takes infinitely less effort and skill to win the game at that point. It might as well make all attacks instakill due to how easy it is to win once you so much as graze your opponent. Boiling everything down to one interaction sucks for the player that has the life lead. In a situation in which one player isn't 1% and the other at 100% danger time makes it possible for the 1% player to just win by touching the opponent once. If danger time hadn't activated they would have to have touched the opponent multiple times just like they did in order to make a comeback. To your point of many things doing over 50%. Remember that guts is a mechanic in guilty gear. The health bar isn't an accurate display of your actual health %. Doing the same 50% combo on someone with 40% and 100% health on their bar won't do the same amount of damage. It is bad for competitive play because it ignores whatever the situation is, it ignores health the characters have. As I said before 1% and 100% are almost the same thing in it. It is hype, it is exciting, for the viewers. The person who hits first doesn't inherently deserve to actually win the match. It's a shit mechanic that lets both the worse or better player win.

Probably as Sony is the main sponsor of Evo now, and Sony having lot of money invested in Strive (console exclusivity, exclusive skins etc), ArcSys _had_ to release Strive at least 2 months before Evo. Which lead to content not making it in time: IKs, combo missions etc

fuck off. no

Ngl Raven's lore is actually od

No, dont't even joke about that

The match between Bears and Daymendou

You can pick Millia on the character select screen. That's pretty cool.

@@LordKnightfgc I guess.

I think I could follow up a couple things. YRC does eat inputs but people found you can just repeat the input again so you'll get it. Things like burst and DAA won't come out until after the slow down though.

@@LordKnightfgc The issue wasn't that there wasn't a counter to it, it's that it is the most jarring element to exist in a fighting game series known to pride itself on tight and fast controls. It makes the game feel and play like garbage when it happens, and I was never capable of getting used it.

Ngl I'd love it. I just person love Ram, Jack-O and elphelts character design. Hopefully they arent as obnoxious tho..

I had grey hair out the womb boss

@@LordKnightfgc Deeam

@@LordKnightfgc Btw r u playing Melty? I hope you do

I love her design and concept for sure and she is fun to play. However there is a reason why people hate playing against her.

She's pretty much the best character in the game by a large margin, which really sucks to fight.

@@Kaizanor Visually she is also best girl... I get that

He downloaded or imported the Japanese version to get the game a few weeks earlier.
