The greenskin with full tension made me think ofShe-Hulk, so I had to switch to literally any other color. Orange with white pants is kinda nice, maybe the grape drank one, too. The brown hair, blue pants palette comes dangerously close, but I just pretend she's the Baja Blast Gio

may's sea creatures are nonsentient and nonfeeling magical constructs that only exist for as long as they're on screen
the only difference between an asuka cube and a may dolphin is that asuka understands the nature of his magic which is why it appears as a basic cube, the same reason Happy Chaos's magic has square digital particles.

I am new player
I am an executionlet
I want to play a female character with nice honkers, a round ass, or both
Please help me choose one by ordering these characters from most gorilla/braindead to least.
Ramlethal - Elphelt - Giovanna - Dizzy - May - Millia - Lucy - Unika
I like Jack-o' too but I already know she is busy as fuck and has to work a lot for her setups.
>>
>>
>>563701269
elphelt was made to be playable by single cell life
ram is a close second
retard tier: may, unika
pick up and play: gio, lucy
a bit new player unfriendly: millia, dizzy
millia and dizzy are pretty easy but not great if you're new to or otherwise ass at fighters
>>
>>
>>563701545
I see.
I didn't expect to see Ramlethal ranked like that, I figured that having to keep track of when and how to use your swords, and also learning how to play without them would make her at least moderately complex.
Thanks for the input Anon

nah you pretty much only throw your swords in the corner as pressure (in which case you're following a pressure flowchart) or as part of a hit confrim (in which case you're executing a combo)
she's super simple because her swords are god buttons or suffocating projectile pressure. you either swing em or throw em, easy as
>>
>>563702050
Ram is considered easy because she has retardedly good neutral thanks to her h.S, f.S, j.S and her j.214s. On top of that, she can just loop f.S > h.S > 236k over and over again. She's just a neutral monster who arguably has been good the entire game but was overshadowed by Nago and HC

That makes sense, thanks for the more detailed explanation.
Well, both Ramlethal and Elphelt have delicious looking thighs and a fat ass, plus it looks like they are both easy to use and at least Ramlethal seems pretty strong, so that sounds like a good starting point for me while I work my way down the list.
Dizzy's frozen ground thing looks fun to I want to eventually at least give her a try as well.

Fuck. Robo Ky will be the one on the main screen announcement when EVO Las Vegas starts right? I was hoping it was going to be a new character.
That said they maybe allude to that character during the trailer in the main stage.
Since it's EVO it's going be a character from an old GG game that people have wanted for so long, or a character from GGST that people have been wanting in the roster since forever.
In short, it's going to be either Zappa or Ariels. I'm sure.

I dont get why they neutered her parry. I get that her normal state is supposed to be bad and im ok with them nerfing her normals but why her parry? Like without the invincibility on it she really has absolutely nothing. She could have at least stolen turns if she kept the invincibility as a sort of last ditch effort to build meter and start her mix but now it really does feel like she has nothing going for her. There are some matchups that legitimately feel hopeless to fight against.

You have that the wrong way around retard. You are actively losing massive amounts of drive gauge for blocking. The one attacking is the one regenerating drive meter, even on drive rush strings (the only exception is DRC strings).
Don't ever defend SF6 again, it doesn't deserve it.

The thing is they ARE two different characters
THAT'S WHAT THE POINT OF THE MASK IS (was)
They could have had their cake and eaten it too, they could have had fun jacko be in the mask and aria jacko without, but for whatever reason they're OBSESSED with her never wearing her mask ever again and just being generic anime girl, so they don't even do that, you HAVE to be able to take her mask off in-game, she HAS to take it off in the victory screen, it has to be off in her official art, so they would never actually ever write her wearing it again into canon. She's just there to be there, in-game AND in the story.
>>
>>
>>563741324
It’s honestly ruined the character for me. I love crazy Looney Tunes masked Jack-O but can’t stand how much they’re forcing uguu anime shit with her. Wouldn’t have guessed in a million years that Elphelt would end up the most interesting out of the Xrd girls.

Whole Aria thing felt extremely forced and honestly was my very first major disappointment with Strive's story direction. For years we were convinced that Aria was back in the end of Xrd (because it exactly what happened) only for them to start Strive with retarded retcon for some cheap nonsensical drama. Aria wished to reunite with her friends in very first GG but in Strive she suddenly traumatized for action she was forced to do. And it's not like she literally burchered every single weeb on a planet in FPV but just launched some nuke ray so what the actual fuck? And now Sol gets to fuck 3yo girl voiced by Airi Akizuki with his former wife living inside her head. This is bullshit.

Elphelt might be the only fanbase that was happier in the transition from Xrd to Strive.

Gears can be and are literally whatever Daisuke wants them to be at the time. Literally, unironically, the ONLY thing that makes something a gear is that it has gear cells, which give them infinite energy and giant natural magical power.
The sole canonical throughline we have for gear appearance is that humans with gear cells' hair grows really fast. Nothing else has been written down.
Daisuke fucking loves dragons but can't put them into the setting he wrote so gears are 9 times out of 10 just robot dragons.

I seriously can't settle down with the fact Guilty Gear has only two Charge characters and the other of them is LEO WHITEFANG and the other is May spamming totsugeki.
I know it's my fault for programming my brain to play Leona Heidern and Guile/Blanka, but come on now. Where are the charge characters Daisuke? Yeah it's cool Leo has Temu version of Rugal's Genocide Cutter but you can barely count Leo as charge character.

Been trying to learn a new character every day since 2.0 dropped and I’m realizing that it’s actually a bit difficult to truly “learn” a character just playing against people because it seems like they’re all designed with really abusable shit that feels good but isn’t actually real. So you end up playing a character “wrong” for a long time until you finally run into someone that checks you. Spent two days on I-no for example and not a single person has challenged j.S->j.D or the second hit of 6H.

i'm not sure what you mean? you can force counter and there are only 2 character classes now; bigs, and everyone else. unless you mean for frame trap setups, you can set the dummy to reversal x action.

I like him when he's in a good mood or seriously tries to explain something (when the ms paint overlay comes out), but he's insufferable once he's upset.

Also going c.S to 2H is not that hard but animation cancel in to 28H is kinda tricky because you can cancel it too early or too late, but still an interesting mechanic.

I've changed my mind: Sol's not a functional character at a mid level. I think they just need to give his 5F 2K back to stabilize him, though the depths of the other system changes fucking him over continue to deepen.
>>
>>
Sol cannot ever be anything but a top tier character as long as they keep all the things he's supposed to have intact. It's why they keep retooling him and changing random things, they don't want to take away the things that make him 'Sol', but those things will always keep him as top tier. He has to have buttons with insanely privileged framedata, he has to have insane damage, he has to have high health, he has to have tons of evasive moves, he has to have zero recovery in everything etc.

defence in ggst is mostly systems-based. you have some DPs and faster reversal overdrives, or more zoner/keep away characters, but that's about the only distinction.
you could say Faust, he's a hybrid with big buttons and can fill the screen up with trash, but his ultimate goal is usually to melt your brain enough that he can get in and command grab.
or Ky, he has strong fireballs and a DP, but again, it's Guilty Gear, he ultimately wants to oki and pressure you to death.
Dizzy, Venom, Bedman?, Jonny, Chaos, Axel... pretty much everyone like that go by the adage "the best defence is a strong offence" - they still want to maul you, it simply starts at a longer range than the super fast rushdown characters.
>>
In my opinion they should change the ease of use of Jam from 4 starts to 3 stars. Bitch is not easy to use unless you're just using her really straightforward. Which will not work with the kind of moves she has. She's not Unika.

I don't fucking understand why RISC exists in a game like this
I feel like getting frametrapped endlessly is already a winning position for the attacker. If Goldlewis churns butter on me for 10 seconds and I block it all, why should I take more damage for eventually getting hit by the overhead than if I mashed like a retard? Isn't that lopsided? I feel like it would make more sense for the gigantic COUNTER to be the worst thing that could happen to you in a fighting game, not you being punished for playing defensively and respecting the opponent's options. It's not as bad as SF6 burnout, but I just don't understand why an already aggressive game needs this

Oh also (and this is the most important part), it's not fun. I've had my ass beat the entire time I've played this game (at least against the regulars here) but I've never had less fun than now. I really don't want to doom any more because that shit's cringe but I don't know what to do.

this is my problem as well
it just feels like the same sol as last patch but increased gravity on everything
everything just works less and feels worse, but now he has an extra special out of hvv that's a pain in the ass to convert off of anyway
>>
>>
>>563801925
Additionally, by buffing HVV, they have MADE HVV LESS COOL.
When I Kara HVV I want the screen to pause for a full fucking second on impact to tell both of us you just got owned
The screen pause on ((("""""""""""sidewinder"""""""""""""))) feels artificial and unearned, not nearly as impactful, and infinitely less cool
I have next to no desire to play Sol anymore.

it was hard to respond with in game chat but I actually fw the vision they have for faust
- faust got hella new routes now cause of the hurtbox changes allowing for way more stuff. made his meterless routing 10x cooler
- all the degen stuff was nerfed (afro, scarecrow prc GIGA nerfed) meaning there is more room for faust to get healthier buffs
- items are now way more fun to use and item super is legit really good. donut giving you and the opponent meter is a fair trade for every item being at minimum good now
- he is doing way less damage than previously which is mostly just funny. but I have legit had multiple matches go down to 30-20 seconds.
basically I was an omega level doomer but the patch showed me the light. it seemed obscenely grim given his patch history but things turned out pretty good. idk how good he is overall but he's out of bottom 10 at least I think.

I still find Sol about as fun as ever, but he's definitely weaker. They took away his high low in the same patch that they made strike/throw an extremely hard commitment.
I feel like as long as he has his basic strike/throw mixup and the vortex conversions he got last major patch I'm pretty happy. I wouldn't mind if sidewinder had more nice applications than "midscreen combo ender" or "single-hit confirm in the corner"

I'd like to be able to get a bit more reliable carry out of vortex conversions by bringing back the 5F 2K; I also agree and wish sidewinder was more interesting.I'm having a harder time opening people up now that I can't threaten as much with BR FRRC
I think it would be easy to fix Sidewinder; reduce the damage and give the current wall-bounce behaviour (when near the wall) to the non-clean hit version while making the clean hit version a launching wall-bounce to allow for better conversions. If reducing the damage isn't enough to balance that you could even make it non HKD on normal hit.
