cut all the melty blood originals to "clean up" the roster
release FOUR fate characters
tease len
abandon the game
I’m just glad with the death of that game Michael Jackson will be back in the reboot
I've become extremely disenchanted with type moon as a whole for what they've done with prioritizing their gacha game over anything else
Clearly they weren’t confident enough in the ip to stand alone
idr them exactly
oh i think so
wait shes in type lumina?
i didnt even blink at her being there ngl lol
Yes
Generationally bad dlc run
I think they had no faith in melty as an ip but their idea of how to compensate is what actually led to such a bad rep for the game
Though the actual gameplay mechanics were unfortunately not great either
It’s tough bc mbaacc is a very hard shadow to stand in
More melty fans wanted a new patch than a new game
yeah and on one hand
i get it
on the other
i see them hosting their grand finals in the bathroom
this is probably not inspiring for type moon to listen to an audience of 4 ppl
Yeah I mean it’s complicated
So much of mbaaccs following is bc it’s free
So obviously in person tournaments will do bad
But mbaacc online tourneys have outlasted titans of the community
It puts up better numbers than bbcf and p4
they just changed a bit too much about melty at its core beyond just the roster I think
mbaacc air game vs mbtl air game is night and day
like obviously if you're making a modern fighting game you can't have moon styles unless you want development to take decades but them straight up deleting characters like nanaya was very questionable
also deleting ryougi from the game because she's from knk but then adding saber was kinda ???
I don’t think the changes to air options in a vacuum are the issue but the over centralization on moon skills definitely feels bad
And part of that is making everything else feel so bad
yeah the game honestly feels more like uni which is like the only game french bread was making since mbaacc but it's still eh
idk the moon gauge also just feels kinda off and idk what they were cooking with awakening
I wish tl felt like uni, I would’ve liked the game more
@vivid furnace @late frost alex situation is worse than we thought
In Japanese the line actually reads:
Before I knew it, she wasn't my baby little sister anymore...
@analog nova
Y'know capcom, maybe you did have a point in never releasing AA7
Capcom would make Apollo x Trucy canon
The only thing saving edgeworth is that he's not blood related
Don't make them reveal that him and Franziska are secretly second cousins
And then make it real
The actual twist that would serve would be making manfred x gregory doomed yaoi
unfathomable levels of character assassination
they legit couldve just done childhood friends to lovers
no cousins
no familial relations
no 10+ year age gap
like dont get me wrong i do like questionable relationships in media because its fun to dissect and analyze those kinds of dynamics but i tend to draw the line at cousin fucking and possible grooming 😐
every once in a while reddit does a funny though
Man these are all demon groups
Group C with 4 evo wins even
No idea who's making it out
@faint ice I haven’t been keeping up with strive is millia actually good again or is LK coping
she is quite good
she actually just converts off all her shit finally, kapel is still a button and speedster buff is real
Did they make her faster?
walter one of the best millias na only plays online really goes to 2 offlines and gets 2nd at both (he's also just nice af)
I saw they made kapel faster now which is crazy
no not faster but she was always "bad chipp" or the upsides were not worth ignoring her downsides etc
Ahh I see what you mean I misunderstood
It kind of looks like she’s actually threatening in non H disc situations which is sort of always what she struggled with in earlier patches
I poked around a little bit in training and the S Disc knockback change is crazy she just pulls up on you
did they give millia back hairpin
Kapel is hairpin for real American patriots
Anyways I also saw that 6h(1) kapel is + is this true??
She's not i-no but she is hitting you for real off stray touches
I guess I can just check myself but if so that’s a little fucked up
ngl idk her frame data well
It used to be like
+1 I wanna say?
Which meant u could just dial in IB and guarantee punish
But dustloop said +3 which on a character with a 4f button that can sort of kill u on CH that’s a little fucked up
Also on an unrelated note I feel like venom players have to just be downplaying
This char feels so crazy whenever I play
wasn't he like a 1:1 import from xrd
they unfortunately aren't
oh they got rid of his teleports
I don't think he's the worst character in the game
but the input output is so shameful
Very diff character
you have to not accidentally do the wrong combos and deal negative damage wasting meter
I mean the hitbox thing definitely sucks
But it feels like 90% of why ppl think he’s bad is bc HC kind of cooks him
Like every trouble I had playing this character wasn’t anything abt his actual kit beyond bad defense
I tried playing bedman with some friends a couple weeks ago and wow that character is just so weird
bedman is cool
I gave bed a decent bit of play near release and getting the right followup is satisfying (after the j.s buffs ofc)
stinger is unfortunately the best part of his kit
command grab is close to cosmetic
like dark angel is hella broken super and supposed to carry, but ur on venom
when u drop giganter kai, you're playing POT
Ok but carcass is also crazy 
carcass is fine I wish air carcass was better
Idk about fine
It was fine before they made both versions + and give conversions on stray hits
Now it’s like actually a very good move 
By data it’s like actually better than +r/xrd carcass
and it almost needs to be better!
there's too many wild savages in this game!
we're fighting slayer with positive bonus!
If you’re fighting slayer with positive bonus a better carcass isn’t what makes that situation better unless the buff involves making it a DP 

The actual quality of venom moves isn’t really the issue command grab notwithstanding it’s literally just his defensive profile and a v unfortunate MU spread
But ppl talk about this character like he’s worse than release Faust

But like stinger is v strong in this game carcass is extremely strong in this game he has crazy mash etc
stinger bot isnt even fun
the vision on command grab gotta go, idk give him negative penalty just let him do real damage
They can actually make his command grab rlly good but chat might not like my solution to that
(Make air carcass guard crush)
now that's an arc sys idea
Or just make his j.d faster so he can threaten actual high low
/ or make the cancel to carcass from j.d safer
there's also something troll about set
I forget
It's like slower to set and do a normal than full set or something
Yeah full set got a huge recovery cut and normal set didn’t
But normal set is still fine in certain MUs
It’s just a weird situation where like balls don’t hit extended hurtboxes which you see most often on characters that are easier to set balls in neutral against
So you don’t see them in neutral which they clearly wanted to be part of his game
But idk I just think this characters offense is better than ppl give credit for
And ppl pretend his 2p isn’t god (it always is)
this might be the closest allegra clark has ever voiced a heterosexual character /j
QRT: FGC_Daily
📰 FATAL FURY - BLUE MARY GAMEPLAY TRAILER!Vocied by Allegra Clark (Marisa, Mary - SF6)
She will be releasing on March 26 at 12 AM PDT
So
How are we feeling about Alex in SF6?
His theme is a bop, but his story mode...
🫤
Well, he's redacted in my mind
...I MEAN CLEARLY
Street Fighter® V
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/tid=CUSA01200_00
Oh right I forgot. He's racist too
SF6 about to be the first game to receive patch notes for the story mode
Fans: Hey, there’s definitely a vibe between Marisa and Manon, right? Maybe between Luke and Jamie?
SF6 writers: Sorry, can neither confirm nor deny! It’s more fun to speculate.
Fans: So, she obviously wasn’t actually—
SF6 writers: ALEX DEF FUCKED HIS COUSIN AND THAT’S CANON
Honestly the wrong takeaway
He fucked his adoptive sister
… was he??
I remember his story in 5 being to the tune of “ahaha we are the evil bads and we have trapped Alex in a training room simulation thing he can never leave now”
Alex proceeds to be so strong as to break the simulation, leaves
“… well fuck”
he accused him frame 1 for no reason
see's one floating guy who asked calmly
MUGGER
He’s from New York to be fair
Also tbf
This is deadass how half the fights in SF just happen in the voiced stories
in SF, more often than you’d think lmao
hmm
See also Rufus running up to Ken, who he has never met and only knows from TV, immediately challenging him, and Ken basically going “fine you meatball” causing Rufus to pitch a hissy fit because Ken calls him fat
Like this really is not “let’s write Alex to be racist” it is “these two characters have literally never met and have no reason to fight but we have to justify it for a story mode, why do they has fight”
“idk Alex is from New York and they’re in New York, maybe he thinks he’s a mugger?”
“At’ll do.”
it's in the same realm for me as
when deku frame 1 thought piccolo was a villian in jump force
just by looks
Like I am very much all for slandering Alex right now but this is getting read into way too much lmao
Especially when they are a few actual instances of horrendous racism in the series
(See also a weird amount of the rival fights in 4, El Fuerte, T. Hawk to some extent, etc)
btw has anyone actually played alex in sf6
i have heard jack shit about his gameplay
He’s a stance character now
SF6 really hates charge motions
Guile is the only one who’s still full charge
So they shifted him to stances for some of his moves like the stomp and his grabs
Ngl his combos are kinda neat but barely anyone’s posting them for obvious reasons lmao

she looks so goddamn good
Strive 2.0 trailer in less than 12 hours wooooo
Strive auto combos lets get the bag
What would the auto combo even be 
Hit f.s twice and it cancels into a special move gg
F.s into new move into charged dust
Wild assault. TWO!!!

I do think the game is getting modern, but we'll have to see
I struggle to imagine how much more modern it can get
Simple special inputs maybe but that’s prob it
Screen overlay telling you if you or your opponent are in c.s or f.s range
At all times
Honestly that would be lit 
I just hope 2.0 makes the UI less weird
And maybe reduce the CH screen thing

Well there’s no way granblue doesn’t get a season 3 now surely
They're porting GG overture??
This is the most exciting patch I’ve ever seen
Removing wild assault and replacing it is so fire
Can they please stop adding side characters to tokon
Holy nago move
I get it but also logically it makes sense for Peni to be added over like any other spider variant
She’s probably the most unique in terms of stuff that actually translates to gameplay
Would’ve been cool to see like 2099 or something tho
wait can someone give a quick rundown on the strive changes
Just watch the trailer 😠
Details for the major update "Ver. 2.00," "Season Pass 5," and the newly participating character "Jam Kuradoberi" were announced at the "ARC WORLD TOUR 2025-2026 FINALS" held in South Korea.
Ver. 2.00 will feature comprehensive battle balance adjustments, the addition of new special moves for select characters, and the introduction of a new "Co...
Only thing not in the trailer is uhhh wild assault is removed and jam and Robo ky next two characters in that order
Oh and
Twitter is complaining jam new design is woke 
Do we know what it actually does
I hope we get holy orders? with Robo-Kys release
Also they might actually have deleted guard crush, HCs powered up shots didnt guard crush
we don't, speculation is it locks him out of blood rage due to blue eye glow
more likely that's a hc nerf ngl
Im potentially scared of the compensation change he got after curse was blocked
It looks like in compensation for removing the guard crush he can spend an extra bullet after steady aim to gain extra plus frames so he can rebuild tension
Or reload
So basically what was free before now costs an extra bullet
I mean in the trailer we see him use it and his blood gauge be basically full yet even after teleporting he doesn’t pop his blood gauge stays the same and his command grab only removes half blood gauge instead of all of it
You mean holy order skins? Because that’s what the holy order characters are going to get reduced to most likely
Nah I mean Robo Kys first theme
Oh lol
Maybe, but I hope its universal
yes
Tldr is:
Nago sol ky and leo are getting a new special move
Battle pass
Wild assault got removed from the game, in its place there's an extension you can only access during the counterhit screen freeze, costs 50% burst and gives wallbreak
Jam and robo ky as upcoming dlc
Changes go live on april 9th
This doesn’t actually answer anything
And the cmmd grab change can just be balance
Locks him out of blood rage sounds enough like a move he’d get though
I wanna see how they change my baby
Who did you play again? Ram?
Millia 
Anyways the HC bouncy bullet thing from the trailer looks horrifying
They might lean back into making him an actual zoner
But if that’s what curse does they might be getting rid of rng shots
Well just have to wait for patch notes ig
Did they say when?
They didnt, worst case scenario is when 2.0 is live ig
Does jam not have a release date??
2.0 is 9th of April including jam
There's gonna be a stream talk thing like on the 7th
That's what's known so far
Oh hey robo’s back

(dead game btw

lol
Has this character meaningfully changed since 2015 or something
Or are we just transcribing ancient texts
Strive server got nuked again 
like the discord???
I guess they fixed it again
whats going on over in NA??
Saw a post where this new mechanic is already a Lucy buff
she can force counter hits mid combo so she gets unique usage of counter blitz
Oh true that’s actually sick
Unfortunately it’s also sort of a slayer buff
Well potentially I guess
I mean the nice thing is that we know nothing about it
So for all we know it won’t work with stuff like that anyways
It can’t be done from light CHs uncancelable normals or specials
New aki stuff is sick @faint ice
drive recovery on toxic pop?
Ya
Yeah it's definitely the type of character she seems to fit
It's so interesting SF is getting stuff like this
cuz ppl were saying even on launch "who did they borrow JP from"
I’m not sure why it took how many years now to start making characters actually interact uniquely w drive like that
I feel like it's kinda leaving the realm of "SF" gameplay
like blanka is about as wacky as they're willing to get
Gang I’m gonna keep it real as soon as sfv made characters interact entirely uniquely on a character by character basis with v system it stopped being in the realm of old sf
And then we stopped being in the realm of old sf even more when they made the fullscreen pull up mechanic that also turns every hit into conversions and pressure
Yeah it's true it's the system game
I guess anything goes as long as it's connected to the system
Even in SF4 focus let some characters pull up/dip out unbelievably harder than others
Compare rose FBD to like idk
Fei long
And some characters (Elena) had direct synergies in their kit with how focus worked
I've been enjoying Mai a bit too much I need to get back to playing Jin and Hibiki

Oh absolutely
But tbh I think she is the kind of character the game needs
Very flashy, makes for good content
very cool super

Its pretty cute

Idk if u saw btw but avatar launch roster revealed @faint ice
Azula was obligatory but suki is sick
Ok but who is that
Korra airbending villain
The sol players are scared they cooked hvv for the new move
Sol's new special move in Strive 2.0 | Sidewinder Ignited
This move can be performed as a follow-up from the HS version of Volcanic Viper.
On Clean Hit, it deals high damage, and in the corner it causes a wall bounce, allowing follow-up attacks if it lands early in a combo.
Oh they removed clean hit
It literally says it has clean hit
No clean hit on hvv is fine 
Clean sidewinder HKDs which was the main thing for clean hvv
When has this ever stopped them 
They gave anji fish and barely changed anything else in his kit
Double fujin is kinda big
Clearly not as big as fish was because anji is demonic now
And he still deals a gazillion damage
They came together 

Thing is these are all silly buffs but they add on to his kit
Remember when they took away 236s hard knockdown
Sol players (obv with most dramatic reaction) see this as a trade
Remember what they took from you
Clean hit for new move
Sol players are the most obscene downplayers in the entire history of guilty gear
And also do they not have eyes in their head to see that clean hit sidewinder still HKDs
They tried to convince us that sol wasn’t broken in season 2 and then they tried again in season 3
Collateral nagoriyuki damage
Ok we all know they got their lashings for the s2 moment
I’m just saying that it’s clearly a repeated behavior
They could make 5k a 3 frame normal again and these bitches would complain about it
I just hope this is proof of large changes across the board
I kind of thought that was obligatory
When we already heard happy chaos and asuka were basically getting reworked 
Like it should be
But arc sys momento

We decided elphelt struggled on FD so rekka is dash cancellable
Only change
I mean it’s not like they said that was gonna be a huge change up
For as little as the top tiers in strive have changed over the years the game has gotten a ton of huge changes
They aren’t afraid to make characters do whack ass shit
Watch Leo getting a new move somehow be the first significant nerf to him
Nahhh the H flash kick changes have been huge nerfs
Not a DP and no HKD anymore he can’t just run it off any hit
As far as I know people hold Leo in a much lower regard than he used to be
Objectively yes it is but sdp into scramble while never actually having to respect offense is still crazy
I mean yes leo is still good
But he’s way worse than he used to be idk
S flash into scramble is a significantly less fucked up situation than h flash into losing the game because you didn’t safejump
Your fate shall soon be linked. Ingrid, the final character to join the Street Fighter 6 Year 3 roster, is finally making her debut in late spring 2026!
We’re excited to share a first glimpse that highlights her mysterious, yet charming presence.
What is this place? What exactly is a Monoid? And who is she, really...?
Stay tuned for more det...
why do I feel like she's going to make even JP's deepest haters look tame in comparison
oh god is she gonna have a flight mode
i support this
@pearl zodiac let me put you on dnf duel
you ping me for this horrendous statement
Nothing horrendous about it
Dnf is lit
In a kinder world it wouldn’t have come out during Covid
isn't that the game where every char has an infinite
No
I'm a big fan of dfo but idk
But like 60% of the roster has a TOD
But it’s like awakening + full meter stuff 
With the patches the game got it’s actually significantly more balanced
Still super high power but shrug
characters also just don't interest me personally
Can’t help you there
I think the roster has a ton of sick chars but I’m not super familiar with dfo admittedly
Specter is so hype though
the guys are a bit too butch for me but brawler is cool
And berserker is also hype
He’s also top 1 smile
interesting
I kinda wanna play inquisitor
She’s like the guard break abuser
Cool char though
Sort of millia coded…
Her like big move is a giant wheel that spins on you
It’s +166
ooo
COUNT THE MEDALS ONE TWO AND THREE
LIFE GOES ON
ANYTHING GOES
COMING UP OOO
how convenient... all my opps in one place
I WOKE UP TO LEO BACKTURN GETTING BUFFED @worthy crystal
how did they buff it
1 sec
【Ver. 2.00 New Special Move Reveal: Leo】
◤Brynhildr Stance◢
Brynhildr Stance can now be followed up with a jump.
While airborne, Leo can perform a unique jumping attack that covers both the front and back.
P, K, and S attacks from Brynhildr Stance can now be jump-canceled, making his offense harder to predict.
This also opens up new options in neutral when entering Brynhildr Stance, such as jumping in with the new aerial attack.
#GGST #GuiltyGearStrive
????????????????????????????????????
HUH
did they just make brynhildr a real stance
This is elphelts only strength and it's on Leo too LOL
Akali tomorrow
Pog
Due to the volume of changes, detailed information on battle balance adjustments will be provided separately.
The battle balance patch notes will be published on April 8 at 12:00 JST
(05:00 CET / April 7, 20:00 PST).
They're doing batch releases on a fucking balance patch how do they even do it
Thank you netflix for bringing us 2.0 cour 1
I mean we’re getting a 2.0 breakdown live stream tomorrow which wouldn’t be as interesting if they showed balance notes before then
Also saying they can’t post the notes yet because they’re so massive that’s a cool way of building hype as long as the notes are actually large
I think the bigger frustration is posting “patch notes” that have nothing in them
Just to say tune in tomorrow
There’s some stuff there
Like the new ranks
I really hope they’re still addressing plugging this patch despite it not appearing in the patch notes but maybe it’ll come with a later patch 😢
This would be so good, alt f4 actually changing points and actual winstreaks
This is nothing that couldn’t have been in the full patch
WE HAVE BEEN FREED FROM HC
- curse blockable doesnt bounce
- gun flip less launch
- steady aim less launch
- deus ex doesn't refill bullets
Every single change in this stream has been amazing I can not wait for patch notes
No prc on throws or supers, sol fire ball is longer making more like a traditional shoto and nerfs to pobo this is PEAK
allen walker pfp #realknower
Now what’s the catch 
I didn't mention it yet
but at the ready became his 5H
it is peak
i wanted to put someone else from dgray-man but i didnt' really find any good pics of em through google
So this is how they got rid of rng shots…
What was with the bouncy bullet though
im not sure, theres gameplay and I think gun's been reworked with a portal followup

A “game” 
Damn looks like Guard Crush is still in the game 
Oh is it live already?
Yes
Neat
Hmm, her normals feel ... slow?
Well I guess Ill just wait for people to figure out the character
2.0 patch notes won’t even open because of traffic 
I got them open now, took a bit
Apparently everyone now has 5f as their fastest move at most
Pot buster doesn't have armour anymore
Giganter Kais duration is now 105 frames from like 445
They made Mirazh no longer a low profile move????????????
Leo can still dash through the opponent in his stance (I think?)
Goldlewis BTs do 10 less damage and cancelling BT into BT now costs 100 security gauge
They also mention that BTs have heavier damage proration but the notes don't write any details for that
This strive patch is so good they nerfed everyone
did they make combos longer
Doesn't seem that way
Reload is always 41 frames now
Also something about his stance changing that I don't understand
You can stack testaments stain twice now, one stack is weaker, two is stronger
Very few changes to Testament otherwise
Sins food actually has a use now (it improves his unique resource gain)
You can't cancel his DP into other followups if it's the first one anymore
Asuka is fucking dead now
They removed tension and health to mana conversion, increased his mana costs and reduced the number of mana generating spells in each test case
Johnny's Mist Finer doesn't have the counter effect anymore, but his dash is special cancellable
sigh
my biggest issue with the game is how short the combos are
Yeah that doesn't seem to be ArcSys' view
Anyway, first impression is ... I think Johnny is the winner of all this?
It's him, Leo or maybe Ky, but I barely looked at Kys changes
Big losers are Asuka and Aba
Asuka looks to be functionally dead and Aba looks even more feast or famine
Mirazh change is the most perplexing, its main purpose is to low-profile and it just ... doesn't anymore?
And nago
I guess it's just a combo tool now
Backwards
It’s definitely Leo btw idk
I don’t like how they rehomogenized the roster in a lot of ways
Mirazh has not been used for that primarily for a very long time
And the compensation buff is now that she has bad moon HKDs which is more than likely well worth the trade
The Artemis nerf seems way bigger than the mirazh one lol
I mean sure I don't think Millia comes out of this badly I'm just confused why Mirazh basically only exists as a cancel in her kit
That’s what they want it to do idk
It doesn't seem to serve a purpose otherwise
In xrd they took away most of rolls neutral utility as well save for specific matchups
Oh Artemis is for sure worse but tbh she got off lightly
I think we just
Dash 2k being consistent is nice
Need to see the knockdown off of bad moon
The Mirazh change just perplexed me
Because there’s a world where she can do c.s corner to corner and set up disc
And I hope that’s the world we live in
I think the worst set of changes are for sure Asukas
They wanted to make asuka easier to play and less explosive
They’ll retune as he goes
Probably but unless I'm missing something he's gonna be the worst character in strive history
No fucking shot lol
Like I don't see how removing fast mana gen, increasing mana costs and reducing mana charging spells is meant to work out
Do you remember how bad Faust was on launch
Yeah
That character was punishable on hit half the time
I'm not sure Asuka having less health than even Chipp when mana is down (which will be often now) is much better tbh
I’m not saying asuka will be good or whatever but
People also said the same thing about asuka having the least health in the game the first time too
I would've thought they'd remove the mana to reduce damage gimmick with these changes, give him a normal health bar
That way the fact that you run out of mana only means you're not casting spells instead of also taking 50% more damage
And people also said that chipp wouldn’t be good because he dies in 1 hit also and. Well. We see how that ended up
It’s also important to note that the actual quality of the spells did not go down, and because staves are now no longer in deck he doesn’t have to worry about finding blanks
Instead you have the worst of both worlds, you are way more limited on the spells you can use and you also die once you're out them which is ... not ideal
Again I don’t think he’ll be good but worst ever in strives history is extreme
This game has had characters who didn’t work
Well see, that's just my first impression after all
Launch Faust and Anji were basically not real
Aba is also gonna be rough but at least she still shreds in her install
Ino after they made stroke minus and then added HC was the least played character in the roster by like multiple margins of error
Strive has had like actual bad bad characters
Yeah I think Asuka is gonna be one of them and probably not real either tbh
Also I still don't understand how HC works now
I think you’re v much overreacting but either way we have to wait and see
You get a powered up stance after 6 shots but you can only have 6 shots at a time?
Lucy deals even less damage now????????????? @faint ice????????????
They made gun usable at least
You get a guard crush on 5HS 🙃
Stop making new guard crushes ArcSys smh
OK reading it again I think they just made it so the sixth shot you fire in a row does more damage?
Lucy needs it
Unironically
Pretty sure they also made venom worse
QV is 0 but now stinger is -10

And jd carcass doesn’t true string
Imma just stick to 2xko for now tbh
Maybe check in occasionally to see how strive develops
WHAT THE FUCK DID THEY DO TO MY GUY???????
They really just ominously said “ensenga now has a unique blowback effect on a secret new second hit we gave it” and didn’t elaborate
Did they give him reverse enkasu??
Also ino can now simply no longer combo into MLA from what I can see
We will have to see how this patch is received over the next few days but 2xko and strive both releasing back to back very well received patches that are mostly nerfing things and nerfing system mechanics can hopefully undue the buffs>nerfs balancing meta 
If that was your takeaway from the tuko patch I think you missed some of the characters in it
Anyways I take more issues with the fact that they’re rehomogenizing the roster more than that they’re nerfing characters
Especially because most characters are still getting net positives
But like why are we going back to universal button speeds, why are we going back to universal 6ps, why are we taking away low profiles
This isn’t granblue characters are meant to be different
Yeah I still think it was mostly nerfs but maybe I don’t play 2xko enough to know all the character specific stuff and how impactful it is but I do know the system mechanic nerfs were pretty big which is still a good thing we need in a lot of fgs
The caitlyn and jinx changes are v big
Blitz buffs are nice but he’s also still blitz
Ekko is the only one who actually got real notable nerfs
I personally enjoy the characters have more similar 6ps but yeah I think the universal everyone can’t have 4 frame buttons anymore is weird
I think making every 6p the same is just like really silly idk
At that point why not give everyone a matching identical universal DP
They did it before and it wasn’t well received then either
I just really enjoy good anti airs on all the characters I play
is the changes to 6p a net positive for most of them or negative?
Nerfing testament and buffing Nago because every 6p needs to be the same
Sort of 50/50
A lot of newer dlc characters had 3f low profiles
Ok
Which are now universally 4
Also I think it’s odd that they wanna reduce damage but are only touching damage numbers for characters who don’t do a ton of damage as is
Mf you say damage is too high but then you don’t touch a single number in Leo’s kit
Maybe this is part of arc sy plan to have less strain on them for balancing when they have 36 characters in the game
They did lower sols and slayers damage tho that’s nice
And chips not that he does a lot but he does average which is still wrong for him because he should be a pixie
It’s definitely not wrong for him idk
Chipp normally does around 3 touches when everyone else takes 2 to kill him
Depending on the matchup, 1 
Making that number difference much more notable makes him a strugglefest of a character
His compensation for low health is high mobility it shouldn’t be damage on top of that it’s how pixies work you have low health but great neutral and you have low damage but insane mix
Especially because being a pixie in strive where everyone’s movement sucks is not terribly important
Chip has insane defense, neutral and pressure
Chipp has literally never had low damage before btw
Chipp has always had on the higher end and sometimes some of the highest damage in the game
Every hit leads into a loop of plus on block safe from dp left right mix for most your life
He is balanced that way intentionally by arcsys
And this is just really not true
Idk or care what he did in the past games but he shouldn’t do good damage in this one
This is
I can tell you don’t know because you’re just saying words
Chipp reset to neutral on most of his combos
Unless he was spending meter to secure knockdowns or already had the corner (in which case he still often reset to neutral)
That’s probably because most chip players can’t properly do his mix 
It’s manually timed but it’s a left right mixup that’s plus because it’s a jump in off tight rope
Yes because tournament players who succeed with characters infamously don’t know how to play their characters
I’m not talking about the strive setups I’m talking about chipp historically as a character
Why
Has never been low damage and is balanced the way he is for a reason
Why are we talking about past games that are historically extremely different from this game where he doesn’t even have his most influential move
Chipp suffers disproportionally from damage nerfs compared to the rest of the roster
Do you realize how top tier chip is in strive?
Ok?
I mean if you want me to be snide that’s also just how chip always is 
But I’m just explaining why I think it’s weird that we’re toning down all of chips damage numbers but not Leo’s
I think it’s because they want him to be a pixie character ig
Idk where the perception of pixies not doing damage comes from
It’s literally the definition of pixie
???
If you post the infil dictionary shit god help me
Please form a thought with your own brain and not someone else’s
Chipp is the most iconic pixie character ever and has never been low damage as just discussed
Sorry for using dictionary’s for definitions
My bad
We should just argue our own made up definitions instead I’m sure that will be productive
Because dogmatically using a single persons opinions to make all of our ideas for things which are notoriously fluid and varied based on individual instances has always been a good idea 
I’m already extremely radically opined on fg character archetypes but pixies are, even among them, an extremely vague description with little to no consistency
Akuma is not low damage. Chipp is not low damage. Twelve is low damage, but plenty of people contend that he’s not even a pixie. Taokaka (was) is not low damage
I’ve deadass never seen someone call akuma a pixie before
A glass canon maybe but never a pixie
Kimberly is a pixie
You weren’t an 09’er then
If a pixie is just a fast character with low health then what pray tell makes Akuma not a pixie btw 
Who said pixie is just a fast character with low health
Are u about to tell me Akuma hasn’t historically been a character with strong offense and mix
Anyways even if we ignore the word pixie for a moment what’s the issue with the concept of chip has low health so to compensate he has insane movement and he has low damage so he has insane mix other than that’s not what he used to do?
Because his movement and his mix just aren’t actually that insane
Compared to the rest of the cast of strive sure but
You just didn’t mention mix in that statement is all but sure but he doesn’t have low damage so I don’t think he’s a pixie 🤷♂️
Being a pixie in a game where everyone’s ankles got broken is probably still slower than a shoto in sf3 
Ok then chipp isn’t a pixie character either
So they are insane then because he’s in the video game strive and I’m talking about chip in strive
Strive chip has insane movement and mix
Yeah I agree currently but post patch he will be in strive
Arc sy ruined the two main pixies in strive a few patches ago
I severely doubt it unless the alpha change is an unreactable crossup 
He doesn’t need better mix because his mix is already good
I think we have different definitions of good mix
I mean his strike throw got a bit worse this patch so ig maybe but tightrope mix is super strong
I think we should reopen the schools zoomers have gone too far @small furnace. make them play millia blocker for 17 hours a day and then put them in +r against Zappa dog
Ppl complain about sol being +1 lets make them deal with xrd Johnny strike throw
they just dont make them like they did before
I hate sounding like a boomer but they really wash out a lot of the flavor in fighting games these days
And modern fg players actually can’t handle blocking for 3+ seconds…
Every patch strive gets farther from the older gg games i thank God
Maybe if you hate gg that much you should try playing a different fighting game 
I dont like the OLDER gg games which I dont play
I do play the game I like
Which is strive
which is fine but
i agree
that wasnt the guilty gear i became a huge fan of
kids should get lightning looped 
I’ve been disrespected endlessly at locals for playing old fgs as if they aren’t somehow the same ip
And frankly maybe it’s just because I’m finally closer to 30 than not but I truly have just started to be very frustrated with the thought process of most of the younger fg players in my community 
Ky lighting loops in strive 🥱
Though to set the record straight most oldheads are also shitheads
Maybe… fighting game players are usually just bad people… that can’t be…
But my generation of players suffered in a way that no other fg player will ever understand (I had to block millia on delay netcode online during covid)
they made combos shorter?
sigh
I feel like they heard people make that meme complaint about blocking for 20 seconds or getting stuck in a 20 second combo and they overcorrected
so you hate me
If you insist
pixies are actually just gay twinks
Not universally but yeah a couple characters got shorter combos now
that's lame
They took so many routes from my main sin which is a strange change considering he was already losing a lot of combo potential with wa gone😢
I get why they're distancing Strive from the other Guilty Gear games because the main FGC is a mistake but it still sucks that I can't play the newest entry in a franchise that helped me meet so many people because it's just kinda bad
Dont worry after granblue is discontinued and strive is turned into the new granblue tokon will be the fast paced alternative
I’m really excited to see how this patch is received from the masses because they did deadass just overall nerf like 3/4 the cast
I wonder if most casuals enjoy stuff like this or not
I already play Johnny... @worthy crystal
Worst timeline is I don't even switch character...

Holy strive took tekken 8s back to basics patch for themselves
They made asuka play mtg instead of ygo siiiiiiiiigh
Drinking a.b.a main tears for breakfast godbless
Fitting an extra champ this year
Prob qiyana/eve for kda/whatever the other ones called 
True damage
Id like qiyana more than eve
I feel like she's more popular and a great canvas for a cool kit
I think both would be v cool
This is the first time I’ve heard qiyana’s more popular than eve
Qiyana has more potential for a more interesting kit because of lore ngl
Evelyn is an invis champ so I’m not sure how u find a unique differentiation from akali
But I guess teemo was also an invis champ no?
It would be funny going from 5 gun characters to 5 assassins though
And still no mages
Senna sort of
Ahri?
in the sense that she can kill you quick but thats most mages
She's more of a mobile burst mage
Also I dont think were gonna get zoners for a bit
On the other hand, Syndra as a setplay character could be fun 
Azir 
Would be incredibly sick yes
He would be so cool in concept
Hwei is my dream pick but he’ll probably never be in
Also works with Syndra 
Eh Hwei is reasonably popular
And he fills a very particular niche
Hwei can do something incredibly funny because of how 2xko’s input system works 
But were probably gonna see safe picks for some time now
My more realistic hopes are fiddle/gwen/kayn/diana
Just have his specials do nothing unless you follow them up with other specials 
I don’t think it’s a niche riot wants to fill
I want irelia, they could go in so many different directions with her
Eh, Id be surprised if they didnt
Kayn is probably happening sooner or later, Gwen is also likely, the other two I think less so
She would be cool
I think fiddle is v likely idk
Halloween champ drop gg
Popular is maybe not the word I would use but fiddle is a notorious champ
Yuumi, take it or leave it 
And there are definitely a lot of freaks (myself included) who play those kinds of characters
Imagine fiddle hits the break on you into setting up double scarecrow oki and instead of going overhead they do crossup command grab gg
how many characters did they say they were adding per season
I mean I do think Fiddle would be neat
League just has far too many cool characters
But I think he is too "risky" as it were
Plus he is a war crime character, you add those on launch or once the game is stable 
If u mean specifically in like a “post senna post akali” sense then yeah they’re prob just gonna do garen or fiora or some shit like that
But as an overall I think fiddle is a design that is pretty fg adjacent
unfortunately with the layoffs I think the 6 planned this year are gonna be older season characters and next year we'll be lucky to have someone around zaheen's release window
Assassins lend themselves well to fg design bc their kits are often designed with 1 on 1s in mind
I mean like this year early next year
Past that I can see fiddle
Im still hoping for Kha 
My dream roster for the rest of the year is hwei gwen tf
Tbh TF probably has decent odds
He's popular, well-liked and unique
Plus people who fight with cards are a niche that is in fact very sick
Though I dont think he'd go full Oswald
They should add petshop to the game with the jjba moveset/mechanics and just say it’s Anivia
you can really smell the venom fan in this message

he played with balls once and never stopped thinking about it
balls 
Only if I’m able to smack them away
Somehow not even the worst nerf she got
Not to keep beating a dead horse but Leo just got a new move btw 
Truly a patch of all time
ive heard akali mix seems hella fake
Seems to be the growing consensus yeah
I’ve been doing 2x assist with ahri and double down with illaoi
Both have been v fun
Doing illaoi tentacles into smokescreen super lets u do some unethical things
Yeah I just dont wanna play Illaoi lmao
I did look at Ahri though, but Id have to learn her from scratch
I was thinking Sidekick just because Akalis own assists seem ... bad?
They aren’t the best
But sidekick is also not the best fuse 
I also did a little bit of double down akali jinx with the command grab super
They should buff it tbh
But yeah idk, Ill figure something out I guess
They dont want to make either of the single character fuses too strong I think
U could prob take any team with vi on it and put akali in the slot instead they fill v similar roles
Id be more likely to run her with Vi tbh
They said as much yeah, I just think theres still some room to buff them
Both are pretty hard point characters
Akali moreso than vi but she’s not exactly known for her assists either
I know, Vi is just the only character I have even a basic understanding of
Even if I dont know how to do Electric loops
Also Idk what good assist character I wanna pick up
I still havent figured out Yasuo
Jam is very cool
Apparently her rabbit is a handsome customer that got transformed from her cooking
and she has no idea
I expected her to feel like another gio but honestly reminds me more of slayer
you've made me incredibly sad
I thought that UI was how the game actually looked like now
its not a mod I got it with s5
wait how do you get it
oh ty
Millia bad moon HKD is between +40-45 depending on height differences
Not enough for a good disc setup but definitely a little spooky
If u do really weird combos u can do backshots and be closer to +50 which lets u do disc against non DP characters
Artemis knockdown in corner is now +60 which means you can disc +safejump 9f or slower dps
This ino change looks so goofy @faint ice
She literally just clips to the ground 
This character seems a little cooked compared to before personally but
It’s a nice change
I wish they gave it to her out of her regular dash
She still explodes u in the corner btw not sure what the point of the air hcl nerf was
LMAO the 5h buff looks goofy as fuck too
Magnetically pulled into her guitar
Wait since when does dive not knock down
Also I’m not sure how reasonably testament can actually apply the double stain
I think this character got sniped for no reason
Apparently double stain isnt even good
U wanna talk about sniped for no reason they removed aba from the game bro
It just scales your damage to hell
But yeah this patch randomly nerfed a bunch of mid tiers 

(she actually deserved it)
why was normal mode aba just a normal character when she could turn into jealous
did they go too far? maybe
I promise you her internal stats were likely disgusting
Normal mode aba was gross I agree but if ur making normal ass u don’t also then need to nerf jealous rage 
And Leo…
leo and nago have new move privilege which I will technically allow
Johnny does not deserve it actually
^
and I play him HAHA
5h revert would have already made it christmas
crossup ensenga
weeeeeeeeeee
With how pushed the move is I half expected Leo move to be an ioh
It just does everything else
I guess he already had an ioh anyways
Ok time to figure out how the HC stuff works
Faust might finally be a character again but every day we stray further
the portals seem to have unique gun properties or something
Portal shot is +30
.
-+40
I don’t have hands for this character
Down portal HKDs up portal is a big launch
There’s a bit more reason to that 
Aba was not good enough to warrant the shit she got I know she made everybody salty but please bfr 
Yeah her changes weren’t great
Most characters are being nerfed into a certain direction like turning sol into a proper shoto and turning chip into a proper pixie but aba they simply nerfed every single part of her kit
Maybe the direction is just having aba be perma low tier like Faust or elphelt or dizzy
I feel like with aba you either have her be weak or make jr rage and normal closer in power
Because her gimmick is just not fun to deal with or I think healthy for the game as it was
What’s the problem
I think she's lowkey a winner from this patch
Interesting
DPs not being autoloss, projectile mechanic is good, stability for casino character
Has anyone played the invincible vs beta
Me I have
Very fun game
Very Good netcode
Idk how I’m gonna survive the 3 weeks between the beta end and the release of the game
Ok I have realised ... I have no idea how to play Akali
is birfday, i redo the stickers on my hitbox
i now have doctor doom aura farming
for reference
Happy BDay
thanks 
ive still gotta seal it and then rewire everything but i'll do that tomorrow
@faint ice they accidentally gave millia insanely sick confirms
They will probably be removed by the next patch 
If u do badmoon backshots she can pickup with 2k
The same way if u do weird back hit on Johnny deal he can pickup with c.s 
Idk if there’s a name for that knockdown
Fake HKD
Like. Lol
If u do crazy whack combos she can actually do c.s pickup
Also testament players are leading me to believe that character no longer exists
Also.
True string.
Every character’s players are trying to tell everyone their characters are dead 
Not HC players
And certainly not millia players…
They’re all dooming about how bad moon is gonna get removed from the game next patch
A lot of ppl are at least a little bit up on their chars
Nah right before this HC players were dooming that their character’s dead
Hc accidentally got an infinite so we'll see how we from there
Sick design
I didn’t really have expectations tbh
The game is fun tho
Even if not super mechanically deep
is it a good tag fighter
