Guilty Gear -Strive- Gameplay KY vs GIOVANNA

[@hardrockmusickid]

Whoever's playing Ky is playing to win and doesn't care about no KZbin video.

[@nayannmartinelli300]

That's what I was thinking: "Let's show the new character to the public, you there, play good but let Giovanna win" "No, I don't' do fixed matches"

[@Insomnia1234o00o]

[@piranhaplant8483]

From the little I've seen of her, I feel like she'd suit my playstyle really well

[@HellecticMojo]

The ky was very good defensively. Giovanna did plenty of high/lows and basically only the uncharged dust managed to work.

[@ivanchavez7072]

I think they did a good job of showing her absolutely oppressive normals in neutral which i think is going to be her biggest strong suit. Her moves take up decent space

@@starbreaker6441 No it won't work in XX and Rev 2 in this way cuz in those games when you roman cancel you are instantly returned to a neutral stance and then you just move like normal. In strive when you RC you can go neutral like the old games or you can move in multiple directions which you know you're doing it correctly cuz you will have an afterimage effect.

[@kaiser8773]

So... Why Ky got a new color for his lighting?

[@Foodie-MS-08th]

No clue? I hate seeing it because most of his effects are still blue and it's just clashing his overall colors. The only guesses I have is that this is a color effect you can replace the original with (Pre-order color swap) or they changed it because he's a gear now because you can see they put the gear symbol in his projectiles but that doesn't make sense because his dragon install is still blue/black?!

[@deneskiss9756]

must be lore

[@reikurokaze3988]

Look at sin who has red and black lightning vs ky who main source of his lightning was his sword. Now considering ky has gear abilities it makes sense that his lightning now originates from him (hence the gear symbol) as opposed to the sword. And like father like son they would have similar lightning colors.

[@mfbandit7930]

gear stds from having sins eye and banging dizzy

[@bigsmurf90]

The recolor is a pre order exclusive option for ky and sol specials. It swapps their color palettes so ky has red and yellow lightning and sol has blue fire. They must have wanted to showcase what ky's looks like but they didn't do it for sol's fire in the trailer the other day

@@rainofkhandaq6678 Because it's a very common archetype? No offense but Ky really feels like your token "J-RPG" protagonist. And while it may appeal to some people, I personally tend to like the companions in such games... They are often more developed, more interesting. Keep in mind that I'm not making those up. "Answer" is that business ninja. I find it pretty clever because those are two universes you'd pretty much never think about crossing over. Hell, did anyone truly believe that a bureaucratic dude would ever appear in a fighting game? Ninjas are a staple. But businessmen not so much. Similarly. Samurais are just as prevalent as Bruce Lee's tributes in fighting game. Sure, female samurais are a bit less common, but it's hardly a revolution. But Baiken is striking because she conceals a whole arsenal in her gi. Because she's a champion with a weapon that usually requires to be wielded with two arms. Because she's a fresh take on not only one but TWO archetypes (the badass lady persona...and the ronin one). Meanwhile, Ky is just... A powerful dude with a sword. His mastery over electricity somewhat makes up for it. Similarly, his recent dragon install upgrade improves my interest for him greatly. But other than that... Nothing from his gameplay to his capabilities, from his outfit to his backstory or even his personality strikes me in anyway. He's just... There. I believe Sol Badguy is eons cooler than him.

@@isaaccooper862 She gets a damage buff when she has a lot of meter apparently, you can see her turning greener.

@@isaaccooper862 She has something with the dog where she herself turns green like she's possessed by the dog, we don't know much about it yet.

I love the stage design. Makes me want to drink some coffee.

[@The-Checkered-Room-1313]

If you look closely at 0:29, you can see the wolf get buffed in some way right as she hits 50 meter. At 0:59 Giovanna herself gets a visual change as well, right after a gold burst (On-hit gives full meter). Not even 3 seconds after she roman cancels after a missed attack and the effect is only on her wolf, it seems like meter gain will be her factor which is interesting in guilty gear since meter ebbs and flows in the rounds all the time.

The UI seems overly excited about counters :D Anyway, really looking forward to the release.

[@Hanashi_mma]

My god the level design and air combo transition are un paralled !!

[@Lucent151]

This might sound stupid but Giovanna feels like a sfv characyer with her pressure or how the dev plays her.

[@donkeydarko77]

SFV wishes they had a character as stylish. SF boring as fuck since Third Strike

[@nathannjh]

Not sure you noticed but if take any of the guilty gears before xrd and compare to this game you would probably think this is street fighter, it’s so slow. Damage on low hit combos is through the roof. And they added noob helping mechanics like wall breaks.

[@Lucent151]

@@nathannjh they kinda feel heavy too compared to accent core or even xrd

[@ebola9717]

For the first 30 seconds I thought Giovanna still didn't have a voice, but it turns out she's just very quiet.

[@AwsmTheMan14]

game looks so great, but the constant "COUNTER" and slow mode feel so intrusive.

[@phoenixqueen2233]

I think the same, it should be more normal like any other counter

[@EscapingLogician]

I think the opposite, it's super stylized and makes the game look unique. The way it sometimes goes on the floor or the background, it's like something you'd see in Into the Spiderverse. Plus it's helpful for more players to convert properly into counterhit combos.

[@steeplewiththesnakes]

@@EscapingLogician I actually don't mind the visuals but it's too loud

[@Slappaccino]

Agreed.
