lmao

[balmy parrot]

BROTHER.

[worthy crystal]

But currently playing tao

[balmy parrot]

oh that's cool

[worthy crystal]

This characters offense is godlike

Her whole thing is just that she doesn’t do any damage and you have to play out of your mind on defense/ in neutral vs certain characters

[faint ice]

I can see it

[worthy crystal]

So you have to work like 3x as hard as like

Izanami

[faint ice]

she's blitzing but doesn't seem to have large enough normals

[worthy crystal]

Who has the same exact offense with none of the downsides

Her air normals are godlike

Ground normals are ass

But her air to ground approach got mutilated every game

Until now she just sucks

Oh

Ok then

[faint ice]

ahh

[worthy crystal]

Is it steam maintenance or is it my internet

[faint ice]

maintenance is tuesday no

[worthy crystal]

True

I thought it was Tuesday

Odd

Maybe it’s a sign I have to leave soon

gg though

We should play this game more

I just feel bad because most of the characters I have experience with are crazy ass knowledge checks and the only one who isn’t is just obscenely overtuned at everything

[faint ice]

I will practice fighting back to get more fun gaming

dont feel bad, not my first rodeo

[worthy crystal]

Sigh I’ll just play litchi next time

Im actually pretty sure im creeping towards 1k now

[balmy parrot]

I'm playing Hazama now but I have like a Ragna I can play I guess

and a Mai

[worthy crystal]

Everyone has a little bit of a mai

I have a mai from when I tried to play tao in this game

Before I realized how foolish I was…

[balmy parrot]

I'll probably just play Hazama though

need to play more sets with him so I can commit my lessons to memory...

[faint ice]

im ac al ittle interested in giving jubei a try

[worthy crystal]

He’s cool

Personally I find him a combination of some of the most obnoxious archetypes in fighting games but w/e

Idk what types of characters u play in anime actually

[balmy parrot]

keep in mind jubei is kinda weak but that's not like a deal-breaker

[worthy crystal]

He’s fine

People have been more up on him since rollback

People revisited and after routes got optimized he now dies roughly as fast as everyone else with a few exceptions

Elyon makes him look godlike

Mobility oriented rushdown with strong setplay, install super that makes you unblockable

Has a very strong IoH mixup

The counterplay is to stop blocking because most characters normal crouching hitbox is shorter than their crouch blocking hitbox but

Bit of a flawed response for several reasons

Generally his weaknesses are just in comparison to others

Characters like izayoi work on a very similar function but she has stronger defense and a more flexible gameplan, he takes more damage than anyone else against most characters because he always takes crouching hitstun, very notable weakness against Mai and Carl

I know a really really good jubei player if u want the hookup @faint ice

[balmy parrot]

after my Hazama arc is done I might hop on Izanami

would people stop wanting to play with me if I did

[faint ice]

surely there's too many villains in this game for ppl to start being picky about opponents

[worthy crystal]

I still got games on my izanami arc

Only characters u see ppl dodge are kune clovers and nu (lol)

Sometimes Rachel

[balmy parrot]

I would never dodge a character unless it was Carl yeah

even then I'd still give them a couple games

[worthy crystal]

I only dodge Carl when they prove they know how to play the game and not just crutch on their character breaking system mecuanics

Sometimes these mfs don’t even know how to ibfd

[balmy parrot]

irritable bowel flatulence disorder?

I think they call it barrier block in blazblue

or instant barrier blocking

[worthy crystal]

They do

But ibfd is universal language

If I say ibb idk

That’s a world chalice synchro

[balmy parrot]

just say ibs because you be shitting out all your barrier

[worthy crystal]

Only against the twink

Or Izanami

Everyone else barrier management is pretty reasonable

You just have to know when to use barrier and when to do regular ib

[faint ice]

AHAHAHA

@worthy crystal there were so many bb copers lmao

[worthy crystal]

Anyone who thought bb would be main lineup was on crack

This game seems tight

[faint ice]

Ngl I was starting to believe in soul calibur

With the French effect similar to dbfz

ignore the caption I just thought it was cute

[worthy crystal]

@balmy parrot @faint ice any sets to be run?

[faint ice]

Busy for a good bit

But still possible later

[worthy crystal]

Sighge

I’m free for approximately 4.5 hours

[balmy parrot]

later kid

[worthy crystal]

I won’t be here later…

[balmy parrot]

man I wanna learn mu so badly

but I literally can't land these half-circles

[worthy crystal]

If it helps I’m pretty sure Blazblue only checks cardinal directions for half circles

I can check in a few minutes but pretty sure 426/624 are all you need for them

360s only check cardinals so don’t see why it would be different

[worthy crystal]

Ok apparently they changed it in CF nvm

[balmy parrot]

it's alright, just had to get used to the input again

well I went into training mode and found the issue

I'm on leverless and I didn't emphasize the down input enough so it always read as 6314

[worthy crystal]

Leverless not for the faint of heart

[balmy parrot]

it's ok!!! I got it!!!

[vivid furnace]

half circles on leverless is ez ngl

[balmy parrot]

damn izanami is hard as fuck

[faint ice]

yeah basically only got back and exhausted ngl

[worthy crystal]

Top 4 characters are also probably 4 of the hardest characters in the game

[worthy crystal]

Rachel is def the actual hardest

[balmy parrot]

I always have a character crisis when I play this game and it hurts my desire to improve

every character has a frustrating aspect to them that halts my progress

either that or they're low-tier or someone I'm not too interested in playing

Mu, Hazama, Izanami, Naoto, all really fun but they hurt my hands and their routes are really tight

@worthy crystal how do you practice characters do you just go into training mode and try to do BnB's every day

like if I wanted to just commit to Izanami should I do a bunch of other training arcs and play baby-ass characters or should I just practice every day until I get more consistent with her shit

[worthy crystal]

Play actual matches

ESPECIALLY if it’s Izanami

Learning combos is good but that character is learning a diff game

You have to learn how to play the game without actually blocking 80% of the time

[balmy parrot]

sigh

I'll just play Naoto and Hazama...

microdash 5B can't be that bad

[balmy parrot]

just got off a set with some friends

yeah Naoto is fun

[worthy crystal]

Certainly

His buttons are shockingly good in neutral for the type of character he is

[balmy parrot]

his DP is pretty good, as it turns out

I also got to try out a bit of Izanami in an actual match, I got my ass handed to me and levitate combos are gonna be a bitch to lab

but she's fun

I think is the important part

[worthy crystal]

The best, even

[faint ice]

bnbs are cool

but I literally forget to use my meter when getting my ass beaten by cake

and that's just not putting enough hours in yet

[balmy parrot]

wish Nu was a bit better in CF because I like playing her

[balmy parrot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07TGKpm7WcU

this version clears the original ngl

[worthy crystal]

No character in CF is too bad to play imo

And even if there were any characters who were nu is far from that

[balmy parrot]

she seems unexplored

also I lowkey hate the attitude some BlazBlue players have

I look up resources for characters like nu and terumi and it's mostly either shaming or discouragement

[worthy crystal]

Extremely

[worthy crystal]

This is from dustloop era

[balmy parrot]

I dunno what that means

[worthy crystal]

Discourse for a while (esp after rollback) was entirely centered around dust loop pro/con lists

Which is why dustloops for bbcf no longer have pro cons

[balmy parrot]

ah

[balmy parrot]

it's a Sunday night, I have like 15 tabs relating to Nu-13 open, I've got nothing to do on Monday, it's time to ruin my life

[worthy crystal]

Let’s run it @balmy parrot I’ve been picking her up

[balmy parrot]

fuck no I'm hungry and it'll affect my performance

I'll play next time whenever you want

[worthy crystal]

Sigh

Tm afternoon? @balmy parrot

[balmy parrot]

sure

[worthy crystal]

LFG

[worthy crystal]

@balmy parrot @faint ice watched all the promotional material for hxh fighter

I’ve gotta say

Possibly the single ugliest fighting game I’ve ever seen relative to its time

Possibly one of the single worst advertised fighting games I’ve ever seen relative to its IP

[balmy parrot]

I have had negative interest because of that

[worthy crystal]

Possibly some of the most hyped I’ve ever been for a fighting game

I think it’s so fucking ugly it goes back to being charming

This game actually 1 for 1 reminds me of bftg

Maybe that’s why they added active tag

Because they wanted it to literally be bftg

I saw supers you can combo out of, infinite OTGs, horrible VFX, bad references to a medium people probably don’t remember

Literally bftg

Which is a goat game

[balmy parrot]

I'm hoping it ends up being good

but I would've loved to see a main stage for CF at EVO

we would even get to see Monarch come back probably

[worthy crystal]

Would’ve been nice but very unrealistic

[balmy parrot]

speaking of CF I completely forgot that Tsubaki and Izayoi exist

I should try them out

[worthy crystal]

Izayoi is so sick

[balmy parrot]

from what I can tell both are just

Potential Man But With Actual Potential

[worthy crystal]

Tsubaki kinda mid

And pretty easy actually

Izayoi is extremely broken but nobody plays her and probably hardest resource management in the game

Tsubaki is sort of just a mid dispenser with forever pressure

Strike throw but her command grab doesn’t have super high reward without resources

Her overheads are ok but they’re mostly pressure resets since they’re hyper reactable

2b is really good though

[balmy parrot]

I'm not averse to strike/throw but I like 50/50's or high/low mixups more

I do wanna try out tsubaki because she seems like the wagner of this game (white woman with sword and board that I'll enjoy playing the most)

[worthy crystal]

She plays sort of similarly yeah

Wagner is much more aggressive though

[worthy crystal]

@balmy parrot 5 minutes?

[balmy parrot]

sure

[worthy crystal]

Bet

steam://joinlobby/586140/109775242324187163/76561199155971047 @balmy parrot

Roast dodging me…

@balmy parrot where’d you go…

[balmy parrot]

sorry I'm back, was grabbing breakfast and took care of my dog

[worthy crystal]

Grahhh

[balmy parrot]

how I join this thin

[worthy crystal]

Paste link into browser

It takes u to steam which then takes u to game

[balmy parrot]

aight

[worthy crystal]

It’s whack but this game is 10 years old

[balmy parrot]

sigh

lemme try again

I'm in

[worthy crystal]

Cockmuncher su….

[balmy parrot]

don't play variable heart

that is all

[worthy crystal]

Don’t tell me what to do

Remembering combos

You can hold buttons to tech in this game

So you can avoid blue beats

[balmy parrot]

that's right

[worthy crystal]

If you mash to tech you can both miss techs and also accidentally mash bad things on wake-up or airtech

I apologize in advance

One more with Izanami just trying to derust my fingers

[balmy parrot]

I can't do hakumen combos it's fine

[worthy crystal]

I was texting someone sorry

Didn’t mean to pick this one

Fun fact this character is millia rage

[balmy parrot]

awaugh

[worthy crystal]

Ok 2 things

1 ground normals are air unblockable without barrier, against supers like that one you have to start holding barrier no matter what if you’re in the air

2 don’t try to roll through setplay like that because roll has less invuln

[balmy parrot]

alright

look at the money I farmed off this kid...

[worthy crystal]

Did game die

Oh I see

I need a new laptop

Do you wanna play a few more or nah @balmy parrot

[balmy parrot]

nah that was a good place to stop I think

[worthy crystal]

Felt bad playing Izanami but I needed to make my fingers wake up

And didn’t wanna play litchi

[balmy parrot]

starting on P2 side and my button presets being wrong screwed me over but gg's

[worthy crystal]

[balmy parrot]

but I didn't wanna come off as a john...

[worthy crystal]

We could’ve switched lol

[balmy parrot]

you could probably tell naoto is someone I actually play and the others were just characters I knew the buttons for

[worthy crystal]

Mai was a character u knew one button for but it is possibly the best button in the game

Guy why do you keep doing that

[balmy parrot]

my rotation was characters I knew at least one button for and could play third strike ken with

I can't learn combos yet...

I was also not used to having to barrier brake but it was good practice

[vivid furnace]

https://youtu.be/t5TZ8wk32_4?si=RFHJi6PjYS1ktN66&t=6028 god i love watching tony kila play so much

he neutral techs presses buttons every time, starts every match with dash-up S like his life depends on it, and does j.S whenever he's in the air

and each fucking time it works out

[balmy parrot]

wow that

that explains a lot

I kinda wanna play lambda...

but nu's colors are better...

but I hate how limited my tools are with nu...

how hard is lambda actually

what the hell I'm looking at their moves and lambda is just super juiced and nu is so tame in comparison

what do you mean AUTOMATIC FOLLOWUPS

[worthy crystal]

The automatic follow ups are a blessing and a curse

Lambdas zoning is worse than nus but she has insane setplay and good midrange

[haughty zodiac]

meanwhile in strive i could cheese half circle forward by just doing a full circle really fast

[vivid furnace]

a 360 being easier than hcf is crazy to me

even if its pot buster input

[worthy crystal]

Also if this is your dissuading factor get improvement mod

[balmy parrot]

nah I was mostly joking

but if there's a mod that just lets me slap nu's base colors on lambda then sure

[late frost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n49Pmx-bNc

[worthy crystal]

Improvement mod lets you create custom colors

Which includes copy pasting Nu palettes

I have custom colors for bang, izayoi, Tao and Izanami

Never made one for litchi because her colors are so good

[balmy parrot]

ah

I'll check it out

[worthy crystal]

It also makes training mode better

Actual wake up settings, frame adv counter, infinite meter if you wanna be funny

[worthy crystal]

@balmy parrot wanna run a set tomorrow

Like in 12-14 hours

[balmy parrot]

I'll try to make it but no guarantees since there's a non-zero chance I wake up at like 5 in the afternoon

I've sorta lost the will to commit to a good sleep schedule for now

[worthy crystal]

Joely

I can also play at like 5 in the afternoon

[balmy parrot]

sure

[late frost]

[faint ice]

Strive leaked everything... @worthy crystal

[worthy crystal]

Apparently they’re taking legal action for this one

I still don’t know what even got leaked @faint ice

[small furnace]

a fuck ton

p sure the full source code got leaked and we got to see lucy

[worthy crystal]

That’s crazy

Anyone have sauce

[small furnace]

its been getting nuked from the gg reddit

but im p sure some other forums may have it though if they are taking legal action who knows how long its gonna stay up

[worthy crystal]

gg discord currently has 6h slow mode on chat because of it

❓

[faint ice]

It's jack'over..

[worthy crystal]

Personally that’s unreal

[faint ice]

Supposedly the s5 chars

[worthy crystal]

No way

[faint ice]

Build with unika & lucy

[worthy crystal]

Jam and Kum got leaked

But like also jam and kum have been “leaked” since season 1

They updated the files apparently

[faint ice]

The game's source code is scary because it's not very secure in general (this ruined s2)
So hopefully no malicious actor happens again

[worthy crystal]

The models look good at least

[worthy crystal]

Surely they actually fixed the insecurities after S2

Surely

[faint ice]

[small furnace]

[faint ice]

Inb4 otherworldly factors are forcing me to play sf6 (I'm not complaining)

[worthy crystal]

I found the pictures but the videos were dead so idk what happened there

Is Lucy the cyberpunk one

[small furnace]

ye

[worthy crystal]

She looks cool

Wish I could see unikas moveset,,,

[gaunt cloud]

Apparently the leaked build also has dbfz's ssj goku model in it

For some reason

[worthy crystal]

[pearl burrow]

[worthy crystal]

@balmy parrot play?

@faint ice play?

@nova pagoda run the set noob

[faint ice]

I'm out gamer, sf6 later thou?

[worthy crystal]

This kid thinks I’m playing sf6 before elena drops

[faint ice]

Fellow capo enjoyer

[shrewd furnace]

i enjoy capo but not run away heal

[vivid furnace]

goku would go crazy as a strive character ngl

[gaunt cloud]

The mod sold me on it a lot imma be honest

Superdashing is so funny

https://tiermaker.com/create/the-shoto-archetypes-380310

saw some interesting posts on twitter about this

[austere garnet]

They already labbing Lucy

[small furnace]

putting everyone in a to c based on vibes and then s tier on my faves then d for dan

[balmy parrot]

k (snk guy at the top)'s most iconic super move starts off with him throwing his sunglasses at the opponent

he goes in the highest tier

[small furnace]

roast im mexican i know snk dw

[balmy parrot]

I know I was just stating it for the record

since the name of the tier is "I don't play SNK games" but he's at the top

[small furnace]

i actually like playing most of them here. naoto i dont really play but i like practicing his microdash combos

everyone else is based on vibes

so no point posting

[balmy parrot]

hell yeah

ryu should be in his own tier just because he's the OG imo

[boreal hound]

I mean Lilith does have shoto buttons

LI is literally the raging demon imput

But yea I agree she kinda also does her own thing

[worthy crystal]

Lilith is like almost a shoto but I feel weird calling any vsav character a shoto

[boreal hound]

That's fair enough

[boreal hound]

Also because he feels clean as hell to play in 3rd strike

Like idk, 3rd strike ryu is just

Nice

[worthy crystal]

Jago was supposed to be D tier

Oops

He’s just boring and ass

Well he’s like broken in newest patch I think

[balmy parrot]

I'm glad we put Sol Badguy below Ragna

[worthy crystal]

Sol is an average

In strive he’s not a shoto in xrd he’s high high A in +r he’s an incredibly cool character but also not a shoto

So I averaged out

Was very close to putting the samsho characters in not shoto tier too

But whatever

Putting Yu Persona but not minazuki or mitsuru is crazy also

And not including kaguya, elt, or basically any fpan rep

When fpan has made the sickest shotos of all time

Word me @small furnace

[small furnace]

hmm

u rite

[balmy parrot]

mario in not shoto is a bit odd

but I get you

[worthy crystal]

Smash characters aren’t shotos

Because smash isn’t a 2d fighter

[balmy parrot]

also I was just ranking these guys off of how much I like them

not how shoto they are, per se

I'm not sure I'd consider mitsuru p4au a shoto since she's got charge moves

[shrewd furnace]

smash seems 2d enough for me

[worthy crystal]

Charge characters can be shotos sigh

She has a projectile and a forward traveling special move and a DP

And good midrange buttons

[balmy parrot]

well first we need to set up a definition for a "shoto"

[worthy crystal]

Charge character as a descriptor for a character doesn’t encapsulate playstyle

[worthy crystal]

It means whatever you want it to be

[shrewd furnace]

guile is my favorite shoto ngl

[worthy crystal]

Also wait just realized Seth isn’t on the list

But oni and evil ryu are

That’s crazy

I guess technically no DP

[balmy parrot]

I consider moves that serve as a reversal similar in concept to a shoryu and moves that serve as a projectile as important to the identity of a shoto but generally I think a "shoto" is a (typically) main character with little gimmicks that serve as an intro to the game they're from

[worthy crystal]

I don’t really agree with that

[balmy parrot]

well, also a jack-of-all-trades

[worthy crystal]

I think those attributes often lend themselves to characters who are shotos but

Es for example is not a main character and has multiple gimmicks

And is definitely a shoto

Ky has had a very centralizing gimmick in xrd and a pretty present one in strive

Dan, sakura, etc aren’t main characters

Many many many snk shotos both have gimmicks and also aren’t main characters

[balmy parrot]

well es is the protagonist of (at least one entry in) xblaze and is pretty easy and a good intro to cf for many

[worthy crystal]

Easy characters can still have gimmicks

Blazblue is kind of a case study in that

[balmy parrot]

to be fair, I've played mark of the wolves like once or twice and outside of that I have no experience with snk games

so that's like outside my peripheral

[balmy parrot]

I feel like the easier characters have less intrusive gimmicks though

[worthy crystal]

Well sure that’s why they’re easier

Certainly still gimmicky though

[balmy parrot]

I suppose

[worthy crystal]

You can play es and pretend she doesn’t even have a gimmick and just use normal special moves and press drives like they’re just weird combo buttons (they mostly are anyways)

[small furnace]

i think gimmicks def can dq a character from being a shoto for having a gimmick but also meh

[worthy crystal]

But ragna is the only character in BB where u can just like. Pretend there is no gimmick

[small furnace]

depends on the fighter imo

[worthy crystal]

Also just realized celica isn’t on the list

[worthy crystal]

I agree to a point

But I don’t think any gimmick at all is immediately disqualifying

Like technically Carl is a shoto in version 1.0 of CF

He has a frame 1 armored move on wake-up , a forward traveling special move and a projectile

[balmy parrot]

I'd say terumi's gimmick is up there too

[worthy crystal]

Only 1 of these things was removed from the game

[balmy parrot]

extra meter on moves is cool but there's not much going on there

[worthy crystal]

Terumis drive is like not a real gimmick yeah but the cancelling supers I think constitutes

[small furnace]

man yeah carl was born to be a pos

[worthy crystal]

And also if nothing else he’s like the OD turbo character

Celica drive itself is also just pretty vanilla buttons

[balmy parrot]

terumi is a shoto ngl

[worthy crystal]

No real projectile

Don’t say 2d

In the 34f it takes to startup I IADd at you and landed ch 5b before you were done saying it

Celica is def a shoto

Nine is a shithead answer but

She does have a DP, has many many projectiles, and forward advancing special

Unironically idk why lambda isn’t on the list she’s actually just a shoto

Litchi is also kind of shotocoded

[balmy parrot]

celica is a pretty unorthodox aesthetic for a shoto but I get you

[balmy parrot]

nah that's way too many gimmicks

[worthy crystal]

Well yeah

That’s like an extreme end of the spectrum

The very classic bb meme is that Izanami is the best shoto in the game

The zoomer version is that izayoi is the best shoto in the game (when she’s not in shoto mode)

Izayoi is also a shoto in my opinion btw

[balmy parrot]

new hard rule: shotos can only be MEN

[worthy crystal]

When Rachel could wind on wake-up people also made a lot of jokes about how she had the best DP in the game (flying to the top of the screen before her invuln ran out)

Possibly the worst mechanic ever conceived, word me once again @small furnace

[small furnace]

yeah genuine dogshit

calamity trigger was actual garbage lol

[worthy crystal]

That shit lasted until

CF 1.2

[small furnace]

wait fr?

[worthy crystal]

THATS the fucking insane part

[small furnace]

man blazblue was actual dogshit

[worthy crystal]

Carl could wake-up doll in real time

First year CF was at evo pretty sure Grover won with wake-up doll

[small furnace]

ig i was lucky i never interacted with rachel players

[worthy crystal]

Kune could also wake-up bugs until that version

Negative edge worked during techs

So any applicable situation

Izanami could wake-up bits with OD (actually LOL)

Trollest shit ever

Litchi OD during wake-up was also a famous one from bbcp

[balmy parrot]

I think fighting game archetypes are a spectrum and it ranges from charge to shoto in the middle to rekka

[worthy crystal]

As far as I remember that’s all the negative edge drives in the game

But the fact there were that many and they just didn’t gaf is crazy

Rachel uptech up wind into tempest into being +40 into setting up 2 rods from her own knockdown was actually the craziest shit ever

Now people have to at least backdash into it like real honest Americans

[worthy crystal]

The real version of this is zoner shoto rushdown

[balmy parrot]

lambda is a shoto...

[worthy crystal]

She unironically is

[balmy parrot]

nah charge shoto rekka works because it's a spectrum of how well-defined the archetypes are

[worthy crystal]

That is… poorly?

[balmy parrot]

yes

[worthy crystal]

Poorly to poorly to poorly

People say charge character like it’s a playstyle and not just a gameplay characteristic

Like May and Guile play the same

[balmy parrot]

I mean I feel like most charge characters are designed around their charge moves more than like

"rekka" characters

[worthy crystal]

Bleh

People also call any character with any multi part special a rekka character

[balmy parrot]

like may and guile are more similar than lambda and yang

[worthy crystal]

In truth imo rekka characters are an extremely dying breed

Because in the above example, I wouldn’t even call either of the above actual rekka characters

[balmy parrot]

chipp stands alone...

[worthy crystal]

I def don’t think he is

Anime doesn’t rlly do rekka characters

Dbfz has yamcha i guess

IMO the most important part of being a quote unquote rekka character is having the variation in your options from rekka

So that you’re able to effectively build your entire pressure sequence around it

Noel is kind of an example

[balmy parrot]

that's true but yang is like

[worthy crystal]

But they want her drive to do so much at once I don’t know what to even say about it

[balmy parrot]

nothing without his rekka

[worthy crystal]

Yang is still a divekick

Wait

Wrong brother

I mean he’s still a divekick but

[balmy parrot]

so he's more like a rekka move than a rekka character

[worthy crystal]

Rekka move with a good divekick is crazy

Kagura is also like halfway a rekka character

Anime just is weird about it

I’m sure there’s a ton of examples I’m just forgetting right now

It’s like actually the tip of my tongue

I’d call strive ram a rekka character but just because of how insane rekka is

Fortune in skug

And technically peacock in skug also but that’s cursed

[balmy parrot]

never played skullgirls so eh

[worthy crystal]

Good game

Fortune rekka is like an actual good example

Safe mid unsafe high/low

But it’s also a bad example because fortune barely uses it in pressure because it’s skug

Enkidu is real example from anime

Or ogre

Or ryougi

its way different than the task/dorm/doom but like... these characters feel right

nova feels super clean to play

and i already feel like i know the optimal bnb, not even fuckin kidding

confirm into grounded magic series, sjc magic series except s, flight, magic series, 6h and call spencer, 214h, hard tag doom, i think one rep of footdive and j.236h j.214xx, whatever spencers cinematic is, tk 236h, and then most things there should be dead

maybe not 'optimal' but the normal bnb

GG v BB roster. 8 characters each who you picking?

X · May 12, 2025, 7:45 PM

it's funny because it's really hard to narrow down BB's roster but GG's roster was already narrowed down for Strive

I'd probably go with

Sol, Ky, May, Axl, Potemkin, I-No, Zato, Millia
Ragna, Jin, Noel, Rachel, Hazama, Nu-13, Azrael, Tager

[shrewd furnace]

Faust faust faust faust faust faust faust faust

[balmy parrot]

you could maybe replace Zato or I-No with Faust yeah

Faust and Rachel interactions would be funny

[wicked quarry]

I'd say Hakumen over Azrael

Also Arakune over Hazama

I want war crimes

[small furnace]

cs arakune vs xx dizzy

[balmy parrot]

no

hazama needs to stay

you could cut like tager instead if you really want

[wicked quarry]

Nah Tager has to stay for sure

Tbh I picked Hazama because he fills a niche that is already filled but like

I would prefer both to be in tbf

I think Hazama is a neat design for sure

[balmy parrot]

it's mostly just because there's a villain quota here and hazama would probably be the main villain with I-No or whatever

[small furnace]

bold to think they wouldnt add bridget

[balmy parrot]

well it's who I'd pick and I personally hate bridget so

[small furnace]

u hate women!?

or

u hate brits!?

[balmy parrot]

no I specifically hate bridget she's annoying

[small furnace]

agreed

easily the worst part of her being popular: people dont actually main her much

shes just a meme in a sense

but actually playing vs bridget is awful

[balmy parrot]

trans rights are human rights but this move is like a reverse mlk

[small furnace]

not an honest day's work for her

[late frost]

https://youtu.be/YFWpUoDe0Zc

[haughty zodiac]

ok damn 8 makes that really hard because yeah guilty gear has all those long time chars

i would've wanted to say nago but yeah can't be replacing the long timers for him

surprised at no chipp

[teal pebble]

8 characters is way too short

[worthy crystal]

Missing link has 13 characters and they’re all incredibly iconic in the series

xx adds a few more characters that are similarly extremely popular in the series

[small furnace]

strive originals are relatively popular but u can def skip some

*xrd

[worthy crystal]

In a pretend world where GGvBB game happens you kind of have to have more gg characters because there just are more gg characters

[small furnace]

but this also applies to strive in a way

[worthy crystal]

Xrd originals all suck

But like xx introduced dizzy/jam/bridget/slayer/venom

And many others

Who are faces of the game

[small furnace]

i'ev taken to calling jam an xrd original to piss off specific ppl

[worthy crystal]

Lowk pretty hype for jam in strive btw

[small furnace]

we need more monkeys in strive

[worthy crystal]

She was made for that game I was made for that character I hope they port her data exactly like they did with slayer

+3 on block low 5k

[small furnace]

yeah she'd go crazy in strive if she had even her xrd frames

[worthy crystal]

Comparatively also, bb just has less characters that are as iconic in the same way

imo at least

[worthy crystal]

I mean this is true of every strive character tbf

I just think it’s funny to meme about it with apes like slayer/jam

[small furnace]

u rite

despite how annoying carl is in gameplay idt anyone actually gives a shit about him

there are also more literally whos in blazblue than guilty gear since gg has done a better job at keeping their cast pretty tight with each other

[worthy crystal]

Like truly iconic bb characters are like

Arakune

Nu/Lambda

Ragna/Jin

Hazama

[small furnace]

hakumen?

[worthy crystal]

Yeah

[small furnace]

yeah yeah he is

[worthy crystal]

Tager

[small furnace]

kokonoe?

[worthy crystal]

Honestly idk

I don’t know what non anime players know about bb because I’m a bb player

A lot of people know like the extremely extremely memetic characters from BBCT

[shrewd furnace]

Mai

[worthy crystal]

And then either nothing else or very little else

Mai is well known for,

Other reasons

[shrewd furnace]

Nine

[worthy crystal]

True nine is a very well known one

[shrewd furnace]

Both very fun characters

No other reason at all

[worthy crystal]

If nine could run I would’ve mained her 6000%

Unfortunately I hate teleport dashes

Also it’s funny when people talk about cf and still think nine is like top tier hyper broken unbeatable character

Sigh,,, the times have changed

Rock is now +4 not +23

[balmy parrot]

I mean Nine is still one of the best

it's just the competition is Izanami Carl Rachel and maybe Litchi

[worthy crystal]

She’s much worse

I think she’s maybe top 10 now charitably

And before she was easily the 2nd best in the game

She wins obviously but that’s not exactly demonstrative of much when terumi also wins

[balmy parrot]

that's not fair

Terumi is top 1

[worthy crystal]

Top 1 at dispensing mids

[balmy parrot]

top 1 at gaining meter

top 1 at being cute when I feed him strawberries

[worthy crystal]

This isn’t even true sigh some characters build more meter than him off similar starters in midscreen

In the corner or with OD though sure

[shrewd furnace]

Top 1 at being cute is Mai

[worthy crystal]

There are some hyper woke people who say mai is contention for top 4

Might be some sicko who thinks she’s actual top 1 too honestly

[shrewd furnace]

Indeed she is top 4 adorable

[worthy crystal]

Disagree…

Top 4 is jubei (literal cat) kokonoe (literal half of a cat) Rachel (has a literal cat) and naoto (feral dog boy)

[shrewd furnace]

But can any of them survive Noel’s cooking? I think not

[worthy crystal]

I’m pretty sure kokonoe has

[shrewd furnace]

Damn, so koko is part of top 4

[wicked quarry]

Smh not even considering the peak cuteness that is Arakune

[shrewd furnace]

True

[worthy crystal]

Shit

I left the bb server and don’t have kunebuff anymore

Tragedy

[shrewd furnace]

So far it’s ara, Mai, koko

[worthy crystal]

Taokaka has also survived Noel’s cooking

[shrewd furnace]

And is a cat

Tao top 1

[balmy parrot]

top 4 is hazama, terumi, nu, and adachi from cross tag battle

for cuteness, of course

[vivid furnace]

huh

[worthy crystal]

Fwara truly the woat

Ain’t nobody done it worse than him

[worthy crystal]

@small furnace I was playing melty and it made me remember how walk speed used to matter in fighting games

It still does in sf but even in anime walk speed used to be huge

[faint ice]

type lumina's the latest old school airdasher

[shrewd furnace]

Remember when vakiha walked faster than some characters dashed?

Good times

[small furnace]

airdash became too popular

[worthy crystal]

I wouldn’t even call it an old school air dasher

It wants to be 2 games at once

It wants you to remember how hype mbaac is without actually having any of the hype stuff of mbaac

Uni is what I’d say actually gets closest to that feel

[worthy crystal]

All kids these days do is press 96, mash 2a and lie (about how good their character is)

[small furnace]

yeah thinking about it, just sf has important walkspeed nowdays. but like 3 gens ago, there was basically every fighter. even tekken has a ton of approach options and speed has increased. its not bad. just an interesting development

[shrewd furnace]

They should make dashing have more lag

Yes it’ll feel a bit clunkier but it’ll make walking more useful

Uni is good but wouldn’t call that a Traditional airdasher either

[faint ice]

you can't make dashing weaker nooo

we are already in the mud

[shrewd furnace]

The mud is where I thrive

[worthy crystal]

Isn’t walk speed universal in tekken too

[small furnace]

its faster now

[worthy crystal]

Yeah I just mean like

[small furnace]

and options to approach are a lot more free

oh as in

[worthy crystal]

Every character has the same walk speed no?

[small furnace]

yeah

tho different characters had different approach speeds

[worthy crystal]

Yeah from diff tools and heat engages etc

But standardized walk speed itself makes walking less important

[shrewd furnace]

Remember when sc made sidestep counterhittable

[small furnace]

8 feels like the walk speed basically is irrelevant tho and approaches all felt super fucking fast

[worthy crystal]

Hime and Vaki walk speed is broken because they can approach at a speed where you can’t escape without committing, but they aren’t actually committing to anything

For example

But if everyone walks at the same speed that’s not a thing really

UI is as close as modern anime got to making walking important

And he was somehow one of the most hated fg characters of the decade

Because he had good defensive tools

[small furnace]

defense is for chumps

i get it tho like a lot of ppl hop on anime fighters bc they are wack

[worthy crystal]

I mean yeah but also ppl bitched about that character so bad bc ???

Like all the reasons people ever gave sound so skill issue

[faint ice]

and the tour begins

Chipp players are the biggest downplayers in guilty gear

[faint ice]

everything is so much more lame when u die in 1 hit

[wicked quarry]

Oh

Yeah

Chipp at least has a DP

[worthy crystal]

Chipp is actually so villainous

Tightrope made me hate him so much more

[faint ice]

he neeeeeeds it I swear

[worthy crystal]

Chipp needs his HP nerfed even more actually

And his DP should be frame 3 invuln

Instead of f1

[faint ice]

oh no potemkin will 1 touch instead of 1 touch

rope is awkward to get used to ngl

but it is definitely broke

[worthy crystal]

Make it so low that ky 1 touches him

[faint ice]

in a normal game he'd be so broken

but legit kudos to whoever makes this work vs pot/leo/johnny

[worthy crystal]

I mean that’s how Chipp is in every game

Except the one version of xrd where he’s top 1

“This character is insanely broken but because he dies in 1-2 touches against every good character he’s high tier instead”

[shrewd furnace]

Just play better 5head

[worthy crystal]

That one patch in xrd when he was Satan was because they accidentally made him really easy and then also like doubled his damage

So he killed everyone as fast as they killed him and he worked less for more reward and better offense

@small furnace u know what’s so fucking hype

1F links

I’ve been playing melty again in case u didn’t notice and I forgot how fucking tight hard execution was

[small furnace]

real

actually enjoyable

practicing them and landing them in a match made u feel like the next best thing since sliced bread

[worthy crystal]

Ya I just booted up against my friend w c satsuki

And I was like there’s no shot I still have the muscle memory for this shit

Turns out IM GOATED

Hit the 2f 1F 1F loop x2 and came in my pants

[small furnace]

i wonder

nowdays theres tech for a lot of shit in older fighters

i wonder if theres specific button presses that guarantees the 1f links like theres buttons for iad in +r

[worthy crystal]

You can plink everything to make them an extra 1F

That’s not a super new thing but I’m pretty sure they didn’t know about it in arcade days at least

Which is why c sats is a character who doesn’t have a lot of legacy players besides sandoori

[small furnace]

oh i didnt know that. guess i've been pretty away from melty tho

Idk if actually everything but it’s all satsuki combo theory

And as far is remember it wasnt a thing (or at least a super widespread one) when I played the game in the dark ages

[small furnace]

oh even less likely i knew about it. i have never played satsuki or against her idt

[worthy crystal]

I think its for air links

Which is a lot of satsuki 1F/2F

I actually don’t know if you can do it for her ground links because they all have other ways to stabilize and make more consistent

Less hits of 2c is the big one

Idk how many other characters have to do links on air normals like that though

I don’t even know how many other characters have 1f links in this game besides vakiha

And CRoa and Carc

CKoha prob does

[shrewd furnace]

Iirc ckoha does but she moreso rewards mastering the basics rather than stuff like that

Or was it that non-1f combos had more reward

One of the two, I can’t remember

[worthy crystal]

CKoha is just really really hard

Idk why because I never played her but she certainly looks incredibly high APM

[sage cedar]

to be honest balance adjustments and fixes are more needed than DLC

[gaunt cloud]

Topic i stumbled on somewhere else

How many stance characters is too many in a single roster?

[small furnace]

1

[worthy crystal]

This is like asking how many of literally any archetype

But also stance characters are notoriously not similar to each other in playstyle

The same way charge doesn’t denote a playstyle stance doesn’t either

Most fighting games actually have 0 stance characters but imo at least as long as they each introduce something new to the game there’s no such thing as “too many” of any archetype

Besides grapplers

[late frost]

Is this in relation to Tekken 8

Because in Tekken
Stances are associated with canned mixups
And in T8 they gave a lot of characters stances with canned mixups
Which contributed to the cast feeling same-y

[gaunt cloud]

Convo did start at tekken yea

[late frost]

It's different than, say, Gen or... the old guy from SFV
Where stances are used to separate options available

Chun Li is actually that kind of "canned options out of stance" character in SF6

[worthy crystal]

In anime land stance characters are a whole other thing

Because anime already has mix so often stances in those games tend to have much more diverse tools

[austere garnet]

True

I was very scared t1000 was gonna be left top 1

Please don’t end mk1 with t1000 top 1 nrs please

[worthy crystal]

Ok but actual question what are they gonna name the next mortal kombat

MK13? MK2? MK 1 (3)?

MK1.0.1

[gaunt cloud]

MKL

[austere garnet]

Gonna name it mk vs dc 2

But I hope they just go back to the 3d era game names like mk Armageddon and mk deception and give us something like that

why are there people pretending like keyboard is a difficult controller for fighting games

its just a hitbox with smaller buttons

[faint ice]

Well it's not as nice

Obviously usable (at home)

[vivid furnace]

for tourneys yeah

offline and parsec tourneys you cant use it

[faint ice]

But between so many keys and easily hitting ones you don't want it can take getting used to

Why cant you use parsec keyboard

[vivid furnace]

you really wanna let random people have keyboard access to your computer?

there's technically a workaround to have windows register your keyboard as a controller

but idk how it works

[faint ice]

Trueeee

I've just never played anything with unplayable online tbh

[vivid furnace]

the joys of mahvel netcode

[vivid furnace]

this i also dont believe ngl

if you use a keyboard for any video games at all, you already have experience not doing this

[faint ice]

I've actually only given keyboard a real try in T7
I hated it personally
But I'm also not a leverless player

80% of keyboard users are wasd maybe some numbers/bonus letters and their mouse

[vivid furnace]

asd space and then my standalone numpad when i used it

[paper notch]

ive basically only played keyboard and the only game ive had problems with it was kof

[faint ice]

Asd space numpad definitely makes sense

[vivid furnace]

tried wasd and its just too many buttons for those three fingers if that makes sense

[faint ice]

Games generally default to like IUOL or something (idr the orientation) and that might be part of my dislike

[vivid furnace]

IUOL is foul

[faint ice]

Like

Not movement

But your buttons

[vivid furnace]

ohhh

still bad

if i had to use the full keyboard, 12 buttons total, i'd probably do ASD space OP[] KL;'

[faint ice]

Was this a specific moveset or the game was just rejecting hardware

[paper notch]

idk what it was i just couldnt do specific inputs consistently in that game on keyboard

i dont even remeber which ones just that i eventually switched to controller

[balmy parrot]

that won't stop me from pulling up to locals with a corsair rgb keyboard

and doing 360's

[faint ice]

Godspeed (but make sure it actually works)

[vivid furnace]

these are the one inputs i do think are actually difficult on keyboard

360s, 720s, and those fucked up half circles from gold lewis

but then again, i've also figured out how to do mahgnetic blahsts on keyboard, so its just a skill issue

[shrewd furnace]

I use erf space for my movement on keyboard

[late frost]

Would’ve been cooler if there was just a bit more fluidity with her 6h/follow-up normals

Also did anyone make comparison videos with the beta version of her

And/or optimize her super yet

Either would be very funny

Tried to cr.MK xx DR on Zangief
That was fun

[vivid furnace]

did you get scooped

[vivid furnace]

also im genuinely considering dropping akuma if i continue in sf6

i love the guy but, as it turns out, if a character's too good i kinda dont want to play them

[late frost]

I was the one doing the scooping

I was definitely scrubbing it out
but I went streaking in Gold so I got a ton of ranked points

had to spend a few games retraining my instincts
your panic buttons on Gief are definitely not the same as on Cammy

6 frame cr.LP and 7 frame st.LP
wack

Elena next week
you think we get the Season 3 roster reveal at Summer Games Fest?

[faint ice]

you've plenty of shoto choices

[faint ice]

I guess we will right
I think we're gonna get costume 4 revealed like they did last time
I feel like there's a few secrets they've held back for switch 2 launch so hopefully something cool also

[teal pebble]

[shrewd furnace]

But how do you know if it’s because of you or because of your character

Also just play who you want lol

[vivid furnace]

its how my brain works i aint gotta explain shit

[vivid furnace]

so how kusoge is it

[shrewd furnace]

Look at all those otgs and tell me

[worthy crystal]

We are so fucking back

This game looks so heat

[faint ice]

Yes

[vivid furnace]

perfect

[vivid furnace]

that's basically a normal umvc3 doom combo tbh

Just needs a YOU HAVE NO HOPE at the end

[shrewd furnace]

You saying umvc3 isn’t a kusoge?

[vivid furnace]

oh its an unbalanced mess but idk if I'd call it kusoge

[shrewd furnace]

it's one of the least kuso kusoges but it is pretty kuso

[small furnace]

a kusoge in the good year of our lord 2025?

[late frost]

As a reminder
Same devs as (U)MvC3

[vivid furnace]

you can wavedash btw

[worthy crystal]

Certainly is

If u compare to the actual match pace of the most infamous kusoge of all time it’s def very in line with those games and their balance

[worthy crystal]

@faint ice what if I became the villain

[faint ice]

"became"

nah but that character gets away with murder just because nobody wants to play him

[worthy crystal]

Cram it

[faint ice]

Elena is looking like deejay 2 so capcom has all my flowers

[worthy crystal]

Word

She looks so tight
