The PROBLEM With Goldlewis Dickinson...? 

sorry for delay had blood infection xD FIGHT CREW STAND UP! discord.com/invite/raynfgc

The problem with Goldlewis Dickinson is that he isn't a charismatic, dashing, zoro-inspired, adoptive father figure to his own pirate crew all while being hated by the God of failure. Alternatively, its because HE KEEPS BEATING MY AS--

Are you ready for opinions? First off, I really like Goldlewis. Maybe it's just fatigue after so many fighting game heavyweights being trash, but having this archetype be good is super refreshing to me. Same applies to Pot and also Nago to an extent (Though Nago is a little to overpowered even for my tastes( Objectively speaking, yeah Strive absolutely needs to increase HP by like maybe 20- 30%? Or at least enough to give more interactions per match. And also some general damage nerfs to some characters. BUT personally speaking, I'm really scared about this hypothetical change. Going by ArcSys's track record, this would inadvertently screw over some already low-damage characters like Bridget, Faust and Bedman? pretty badly, and they wouldn't be adjusted to compensate. I also like guard crush, but that's pure bias on my end as a Bedman? main. But I do think too many of the cast have consistent access to it.

What if Goldlewis was just the beta version of slayer…? They both have the same strengths and weaknesses…? (And they’re both hot)

When I get Garuda meatied by my friend who plays pot I want to kms as opposed to dealing with two guard crushes

Always high quality video from you Rayn 😎

honestly about the point you made earlier about metaslaving on goldlewis, i dont think ive seen a single non-pocket goldlewis player who didnt also play the character pre-s3, although that is most likely just because his top tier status was largely based on wwa and everyone knew that wwa was going to get shot regardless

I don't actually care if the game is one sided personally, because the rounds are short enough that it's fine, but I find myself really annoyed by how much of Guilty Gear is spent in pressure. It feels like the vast majority of the game is spent with one of the players in blockstun, and it's the main reason I don't play the game as much anymore. It just makes the game feel so slow and boring. I don't like doing blockstrings and I don't like being forced to block for a long time. Then they added the ability to take away burst from the opponent and that was kinda the final nail for me. Burst was kinda the great equalizer where you could use it offensively if you wanted, but if you ever didn't have burst, it was your own fault. Now with burst being able to be taken away (especially on block) it just kinda defeats what made the mechanic good for me, and it compounds on the feeling of endless pressure in the game. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not gonna be one of those dudes who's all crying about there being not enough neutral or whatever. I love Melty Blood, which severely lacks neutral, so I'm totally okay with "neutral skips" or whatever. But if you're gonna end neutral, just put me in a combo so you can do your cool stuff and we can get back to it. I don't wanna sit in blockstun for the whole round. What I like about Melty's shield system is that it skips neutral while still being both cool and fun, and it also solves a lot of other problems at the same time

I don't think Goldlewis having mix and generally high damage is necessarily the issue. It's more so that once he gets BT pressure going he traps you in the gulag and your options are limited- leading you to relying on options which could lead to him getting a bigger hit if you don't play it right.

3:51 didn't have to say he had his own gravitational pull, Rayn 😞 Once again, wonderful video!!

The problem is that his cake rob my attention

goldlewis is my main because i love big man with big attack. but i cant help but feel carried a lot of the time and i have no idea how arcsys should balance him.

It’s not a big deal.

problem is that zato is not as good as him

Is this mocking gekko squirrels videos

Photos printed?

GoldLewis my goat, the coolest fighting game character ever designed. I will not be watching the video but, I'll assume that's the conclusion.

I agree guard crushes are a problem especially for strive cause most characters with them have high dmg or High chip dmg like Asuka & Lewis . I’ll say this guard crush in other games are just as bad but because of how it is in strive it means the only options out are burst & deflect but depending on situation they become useless to u . I don’t think giving everyone a guard crush will fix the problem we have with it except make it a mess to play defense and become a mash fest . P. S 0:34 love the meme song here but bottom line strive has a problem but I doubt they will fix it but instead pile in dlc get the bag and dip after last S5 or 6 .

Wait why’s your voice so deep in the first bit.
