A big reason for that is that many fighting game content creators are also sponsored players who make a career out of competing. That's a super sick part of the FGC, and that's why people watch their stuff, but numbers wise, they probably make up less than 1% of the community. I'm not throwing shade at pro players or their content, but it can give people a skewed perspective on how most people engage with the genre. It's the main reason I made the channel, I wanted to show people that someone who is average at these games can still have a great time with them and slowly improve their skills along the way. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy fighting games more this time around! Remember, you only get to be a beginner at something once, so enjoy it while you can 👍

Let's goooooo

@@sefflikejeff1917 never felt more rage

@@LowTierDrift first fighting game?

@ yep then i played fighterz after to see if that was any easier

I've been playing it a little bit, idk if I'd make content about it at this point, though. It's a good game that I don't have too much to say about

Don't take my whining personally, it was just whining lol

@@sefflikejeff1917 ya I know I ain’t up set it was just funny

When I filmed this there were only around 5 people in each floor (US West servers). The lower the floor, the less populated it will be, but if you go into training mode Matchmaking for like 4 minutes you'll usually always get an opponent. It's gonna feel really overwhelming at first, but try to always play against people who are a bit better at the game than you are. This will make you progress like crazy. If you do end up having issues finding matches, there's always the GGST discord or the SeffLikeJeff Discord, tons of Strive players in both. Good luck! You only get to be a noob once, so enjoy it!

@ appreciate it bro

Honestly, the servers are in a much better place now. At least, that's what it felt like to me. If I had gotten "communicating with server" looped at any point during filming, I would've kept it in. Didn't get one desync this time around either!

In the thumbnail it's the "ice punk chipp" pallete swap In the video it's mostly a metal gear rising skin. If you look up "Raiden as Chipp" it should come up on gamebanana.

I also modded the rope belt out

Lol dont worry, it's a mod. I got sick of looking at the old ones.

Hell yeah. That celestial challenge can be rough, and I dislike how much it encourages ducking bad matchups. But with enough time and effort, you got it ez

I have played it before, my fav is kid buu Team games kinda make my brain hurt, I'm not used to them yet lol

What made u choose faust.

@ I just really like his character design. He’s a super cool goober with a funny mechanic.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I think the game is fun af

I remember that! I didn't have any chipp tech yet so my gameplan was "spam dp until they adapt, and then start grabbing them" lol

If there's anything i have complaints about in this game, it's all the hoops you have to jump through in order to get into a match. You're def not the only one with this experience

I just see so much forced strive hate from people who don't play the game. There needs to be more positivity from the people that actually do imo

fgc when the new game isn't the same as the old game: 😡. I honestly think strive's simplifications and general forgiving design helps get down to the mind games that I just enjoy when playing fighting games. My only complaint is that damage feels a bit too high. That, and maybe it would be nice if we got some skill based matchmaking modes. The floor system is fine but I find even lower skill players end up playing on higher levels because lower levels aren't as populated, leading to some very different skill levels between matches. But at the same time, I'm probably too busy admiring the animation to care about these shortcomings.

@@toolazytobeoriginal4587the game is good but truly man ggxrd and xx are much better i promise you
