/ggg/ - Guilty Gear General

your threadly reminder that projectile>YRC is the cancer in Rev

>used goods
>best

Will the next new character be:
>Extremely good normals, amazing blockstrings, incredible frame traps and easy huge damage combos. The Ultimate Unga.

OR

>Convoluted gimmick that a character specialist manages to use well enough that they're not potemkin tier

how would u change yrc

That book was good. I cried too.

It's going to be robo ky and he will simultaneously be the most and least unga character in the game

The character voice packs you can unlock in game through fishing, the colors are the things you can't.

YRC doesn't slowdown, but RRC and PRC do
or
(slightly) reduce the slowdown duration of YRC
or
reduce the ability to YRC projectiles

Obviously unga. The other one will be Zappa after they change him for Xrd.

I like the 3rd's attitude, tie between 2 and 1's outfit, and 2's hair is the best. If I had to pick overall best it'd be 2.

t. jacko "player"

most newcomers are pretty boring so probably the first one desu

I want more Robo-Ky and Venom screentime in future story modes.

Who is this girl and why does she have hair in her mouth

get rid of it

bring back FRC

p sure its Byakuren

What's the name of the book?

There's not one, it's just something Axl shouts during matches sometimes.

Will DBZF kill off GG for good

No

No but yes.

Nah

Nope. But it might pressure Capcom to get their heads out of their asses if we're lucky.

prob not if anything id probably grow the fgc

So does Venom even have any really bad matchups? I feel he has pretty good tools against the whole cast.

This has nothing to do with GG or the people that play GG. People make up shit all the time about this though, keep it in /fgg/.

This. There's no actual rivalry between fighting games. The genre is niche enough to have plenty of overlap between series.

If you want to pretend like you know what you're talking about before outing yourself instantly, take it to /v/.

>Bu-but Capcom

I've been on the fence for Rev2 for quite a bit of time. I wouldn't want to buy it and then get slapped by Rev3 or something like that.
How long will Rev2 stay relevant for?

for a couple more months i dont think rev3 is gonna happen soon

One user theorized we might be getting new DLC around Spring 2018 and I feel the same.

Rev2 will be relevant for a while. The update memery doesn't happen as bad as it's hyped up to be. Before a new version comes out it's going to spend months in arcades and they haven't even announced anything yet. Rev2 was announced in mid January this year, went to arcades at the end of March, and came out on consoles/PC at the end of May. The update for Rev3 if there is one would probably be another ~$19 package because ASW has said they were changing their business model away from incredibly delayed PC releases at full price.

I'm not really spending money on much entertainment wise beyond fighting games so the pricing is pretty reasonable to me.

Guess i'll get it then.
It's only 18 bucks so i might as well bite the bullet.
Thanks for the answers guys

Rev2 upgrade is only $13.29 unless your $18 was for some other currency.

>playing fighting games on PC

Get it for PS4 like a normal person, it's cheaper.

guilty gear is the only long running fighting game franchise where the new characters feel like they fit with the old ones

why is this? even blazblue, despite being about half as old, as some issue with this where people like mai or hibiki don't really fit the aesthetic that well

Because Daisuke-sama is way too cool

Considering the prices other regions have the one we have here is a nice offer.
Not an option where i live desu.

>paying twice to use your internet connection for a similarly sized community while also lacking the option to shut off/change features that introduce lag into the game

But the PC version is better

pc ec loby when

I'll probably make it in like an hour if gear or whoever doesn't

Making the room now. Please stand by.

Don't need to sound so desperate guys. The one or two people you might convince won't change how dead the game is on both platforms. Let people pick whatever version they like

The ECPC room is now open. I'll keep it going until around 10PM.
Room ID:cyw5

C'mon in and keep on rockin'~!

...

PC is better and far more active in these very threads.

I just played for 5 hours straight and now my brain feels like mush

My hands start feeling numb after an hour

My hands just feel extremely cold and I don't know which would be worse

That sucks, I only get stuff like if I play a shit ton for a few days in a row.

Damn, wish I could join but I'm cooking some stuff for tomorrow.

well miss you

that confirm was nice axl user

>try to find axl footage against my main
>all but a few matches are Rev so it's sparrowhawk memes because the stance didn't end when it got blocked
epic

That's okay, plenty of time for later. What are you cooking?

there is a ton of footage of rev2 axl are you looking on keeponrock.in?

read again

>a few matches
and I'm saying there is a lot of matches

FOR
MY
MAIN

I've watched tons of matches for every character vs axl

thanks for all the games. sometimes it's a grind, but today was fun!

Two of the characters I play have a grand total of 5 listed R2 matches on keeponrock.in

There's definitely not a "ton" for every character

ggs to better axl, faust, and baiken anons. i had a lot of issues dealing with your Rerere Thrust faust user. Id try to counter it but always fucked up the input.

The ECPC room is now closed for the night. Thanks for stopping by everyone. GGs and I hope you all have a nice Thanksgiving with your family, friends, better half, and/or waifu/husbando on your desktop monitor as applicable.

GGs to Jjj'jj, Dildobag, Wallet, smirk, and GodKing. My Sol feels like it's on the right track. Honestly nothing much more to say than keep grinding.

Also, I have no idea if this will actually be helpful but I made pic related for you Dildobag. It's what's going through my head when fighting your Baiken. You did much better when you were controlling your space in the illustrated "Danger Zone". You could probably ask GodKing for more details, but this is how you'd at least counter what I was doing tonight. Plus you gotta pay me back for that IK I landed on you.

GGs and goodnight everyone. I had a lot of fun.

learn from cag. i almost can't do it in a real match unless i have meter to yrc punish some of your moves, similar with iads

ggs

A pumpkin cheesecake, and tomorrow a turkey

Very nice. I usually cook for my family on Thanksgiving too. I actually made a turducken once. Somehow I pulled it off without ruining it or burning my house down to the ground. I'm going over to my sister's boyfriend's family for Thanksgiving tomorrow, so I don't have to cook this year.

why wont red bull sponsor gg events bros...

he seemed like the only thing was his spacing was better. Not making light of spacing i know its very important but i just want to make sure i didnt miss anything. It seemed to me like he was standing either right outside or inside, it then would either counter or IAD in when you threw it out.

Also two questions about baiken. First off where can i push buttons / get away from her kabri block strings. I am having a pretty hard time dealing with baiken anons use of it. Also, her dash seems to me like it has different amounts of armor when she uses it. Im sure thats not the case but can you stuff it?

youtube.com/watch?v=T5dxM1dPiJg
Because giving people THESE wings will result in thousands of deaths. Maybe even millions.

Just stick with Close Slash Champagne. It's much safer or at least it was in Sign.

The game is niche when it comes to sales and the community. Hence why there are only like 3-5 sponsored GG players in the states and 0 around the world.

haha, i wasn't expecting that much assistance. I'll definitely use this (and set it as my wallpaper)

for now, the IKs are my tuition fees

From that distance, your best bet is to pressure with 5k, 2s, or 5s and cancel into a tatami or dash imo.

IABD tatami is also an option, but you're giving sol lots of space to move out of the corner. Don't AA Claw (S Kabari) from that range since it has a very slow startup and fafnir will counter hit a whiff.

yeah, he stays out of my f.s range whenever i'm in the corner and punishes it when i throw it out. spacing is incredibly important against faust.

for kabari you can blitz it, you can backdash after it hits if you have decent iframes, jump fd, or attack with a fast normal (not an axl player but look at 5k, faust's fastest normal 5p is 6f as well but they can get blown up if she goes right into a ), and you can mash/jump your way out of the command throw followup because startup is long. for suzuran, the armored command dash, as long as you hear the koto you can punish it with a low so try 2k or 2d. I use 2p 2s to hit baikens out of that into full combos. if you don't hear the koto it means they did the followup right away and you can't punish the dash itself.

her s kabari, the air chain, needs to be fd'd to block it. baikens will bait a tech in the corner so you need to hold fd when you air tech like when you're playing an axl else you'll get hit for a reset and a lot more damage.

thanks for all the advice user! I actually really like playing against faust, and axl, because its more like airdash footsies than can you hold this bullshit for long enough to get out and run your bullshit.

Remove PRC.

Change YRC into FRC with easier windows.

ggs wallet, dildo godking and gearhead

also i checked and left v-sync on so my b for any frame drops, should be fine now as long as you don't super into 10 huge meteors

you missed out on a ton of damage because you would either not anti air or drop your combo

don't forget f.S/5H/6P counterpoke, IAD j.H/BB to go over horizontal, and dash braking>block to see if they'll push themselves out or backdash to make pokes whiff

ya i was having a lot of issues with my 5P combo tonight, which sucks because thats the combo i usually have to aa with.

>First off where can i push buttons / get away from her kabri block strings. I am having a pretty hard time dealing with baiken anons use of it.
Kabari is +2 on block and Baiken's fastest normals are 5f. You can mash the follow ups since they leave a gap, but if we don't use them and just try to go for a 5p or 2k, we can continue pressure fairly easily unless you IB.

>Also, her dash seems to me like it has different amounts of armor when she uses it. Im sure thats not the case but can you stuff it?

Dash has high guard point meaning it blocks mid/high attacks as long as they are coming and we dont cancel into a follow up. Use moves that hit low to outright beat it. You can, technically, stuff it with moves that hit more than a few times, but it's mostly the Baiken making a mistake at that point. Overly relying on the dash is something I need to work on myself actually, but it's definitely one of the best tools we have.

>you can backdash after it hits if you have decent iframes, jump fd do you find these things work when you kabri people?

Good new from venom user, had some talks and probably gonna be changing to cable internet soon with faster speeds than I get at my current isp. The reason I disconnected from lobby/quit out of matches was cuz I was getting 10 frames and left to switch some graphics settings. Hopefully gonna be getting my 3-4 bars back and back to a stable 4 frame or less delay. Feels great cause feeling like you won due to lag is the worst and guts the feeling of achievment out of it. In the meanwhile i'mmah brush up on dustloops and get a pocket sol ready to UNGA.

For the most part yes. All viable options. Backdash depends on the character. Blitz requires a hard read though, but if low blitz catches low/mid moves, it's your best bet since Baiken has 2 moves that are overheads: TK Youzansen and 5D. And TK Youzansen is situational because you need to RC it to follow up (and you'll probably be spaced too far if you try it off a kabari).

ib the chain to make yourself plus or the normals before the chain comes out to try a long fast range normal because both chains take awhile to come out (20f). You can also react blitz it. If you expect the dash after the chain use a low like 2d or 2k to stuff it and convert depending on your character. The dash only blocks high and mids. It doesn't stop lows or throws. If you're too scared to press buttons after a chain try to backdash. Most of her chain follow ups only have 3 or less active frames except the dash uppercut which has 6 i think. The chain itself has a lot of active frames though, and even on whiff she can still follow up so don't try to backdash that unless you're slayer or something.

Should I just drop the money for a stick? Getting shit out with my pad is inconsistent as fuck.

It couldn't hurt. I only had a 360 controller and decided to get a stick. Happiest decision I've made in gaming.

I just want to be sure that it's the controller and not me being a fucking idiot.

You're gonna have to re-learn how to play on stick, and while I personally think everything except maybe movement is easier on stick (bigger range of movement is required for stick) once you past the learning curve it's a damn good time. Also pay attention to gates, they influence how the stick ultimately handles. 8 way is gonna feel different from a 4 way.
