Afros before STRIVE and OTG Loops - An 'Ex Faust' Breakdown

[@emptyvending8964]

The EX characters feel like they are from a different game but god do I love them

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Lol kinda are from previous versions in a way

[@Wiziliz]

Guilty Gear's Moons.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Exactly. Hope they're all crescent

[@bolthesorcerer3570]

I didn't knowed that I needed Justice with afro until today

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Same i pleasantly surprised to see it

[@OldmanIm]

That far slash was from GG1. Now imagine if meta giri had its move forward and mash properties in this as well.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Mash?

[@OldmanIm]

Mash buttons to extend the move.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Ah yes ye olden time of mash fighting games

[@HSEJM14]

It was also in GGX before it was changed in X2, I think.

[@zhaoyun255]

My favorite ver. of Faust. My favorite combo was after a successful Stab grab you can immediately do 214HS for shit and giggle. Also, the flower is OTG as well so after entering pogo stance, you can immediately pick them up with flower AND throw an item because WHY NOT?

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Fuck yeah

[@svartfrasr9755]

Josuke Sol just needs the Freddie Mercury 'stache and he'd be complete.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Lmao that'd be tight

[@brawlerbaiken]

Faust is super epic

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Poggie woggies

[@mhstylesmugen]

The EX instant kill was actually Faust's main one in Guilty Gear X, it's good to have it back here.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

True true

[@maxwellderpin8477]

To this day playing ex faust in the all ex tourney was the most fun I've had in fighting games. He's hilarious.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Good you enjoy it!

[@TruJohnson1]

Is there footage of this cause I need to see it

[@maxwellderpin8477]

@@TruJohnson1 nah. Was a small thing with some buddies a few years back. Sorry.

[@mibeador]

Some things not mentioned, his IK and f.S are taken directly from GGX. Entering pogo stance causes a groundbounce instead of slide, changes combo routes ever so slightly. The air BOI is a good air combo ender since it's fast and is consistent unlike j.D. He also gets a meterless reversal withg Can't Hear You!, a proximity-based hit throw, it's useful but not great. Doors now stagger on hit which is great. Gettin To The Good Part (the FB Bat after Re-re-re no Tsuki) wallbounces on hit which is nice for combos. He also gets FB Re-re-re no Tsuki which is really fast. He loses a lot of special moves like FB From Behind and FB BOI, but he gains a lot too.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Honestly i couldn't get air BOI to combo at all and it's not even a hard knockdown

[@darksquigglyboy]

Man if I knew about the loops, I would've talked so differently about EX Faust. But I guess just looking at the tools on paper and not in a practical sense does that.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Pretty neat huh. Gotta toy around with it

[@darksquigglyboy]

@@LucidButtonMasher Won't make that mistake again. Who do you plan on doing next?

Ngl I subbed so fast when I saw the pfp and all the content on this channel. Love the videos man.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Appreciate it bud. Love the pfp and name lol

[@zerobeat032]

I think that far slash is from plain ol GGX. same with the IK as someone else mentioned. makes me wonder I'd other characters have stuff from GGX in their ex forms.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

They sure do. Lot of people pointed it out since I'm not experienced

[@axsprime]

That IK was Faust's IK in Guilty Gear X.

[@someunimportantguy]

Good thing I checked the comment section, was about to post the same thing

@@LucidButtonMasher lol it really be like that

[@sekibankilover]

Funny thing about Faust's IK here, using it on Robo-Ky will reveal that they literally just used Ky's sprite repainted, also on Dizzy it'll make Undine get the afro.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Woah that's sick

[@mrmars222]

getting a video to 1K likes from 999 likes has to be one of the most satisfying things you can do on youtube especially when you like it by hitting the faust BOI

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Glad you got to do it

[@drummachine77]

Yesssssssssss. Now I gotta unlock him.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

You might just be able to go into the network lobby and set it to ex so you don't need to unlock anything

Just released! Go check it out

[@kholdkhaos64ray11]

You know, if I was hit with that IK I wouldn't ever be mad because I get to see my girl Justice get her hair done up and swag

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Lol with the tail or whatever hanging out the top

[@trilddmitriy]

Can you make a video about GG and GGX versions of Normal and EX characters pls? I've unlocked them for beating all 30 missions. GG versions have mechanic that charges the tension and Instant Kill with 4 buttons. Enemy that got hit by IK need to press 3 inputs that game shows. About GGX I know nothing.

[@trilddmitriy]

It's called GG generations mode. And I don't know why nobody in KZbin talks about it.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Lol yeah i have no clue about all those yet

[@Cunt143]

GG and GGX versions don't change the character, just the system mechanics. So you don't need to cover individual characters lol

[@Cunt143]

GGX mode has the GGX fdc bug. You can fdc normals mid gatling, effectively doing a gatling into fd and immediately being actionable, getting a ton of plus frames. This enabled infinites in ggx.

[@trilddmitriy]

Thanks!
