Are Elphelt players actually having any fun? (Reddit)

i didnt want to bother seylor for a shitty thumbnail but have some reddit discussions anyways

[@pateceinsanity7715]

“If I can’t enjoy a game what’s the point of continuing to play it?” Addiction: allow me to introduce myself.!

[@silvanatteveld6637]

State of our character? Bad. State of our mental health? Even worse. Yet we keep rekka’ing

[@havenschade8174]

It's zatover

[@jiseph440]

Has Hotashi always been insane or is this his descent into madness?

[@mrblooper1994]

Someone haven't seen Hotashi play Nago in tournaments and it shows

[@HellecticMojo]

The man's signature tech is popping bloodrage on Nago on purpose. Hotashi is a lunatic.

[@GothMoth_exe]

As an Elphelt player, I really love playing her cause I get to sing "rub-a-dub-a-dub yeaheeeeyeah! too late my baybay...."

[@snowflake4108]

to all the elphelt haters: "could have been worse mate!" (xrd history)

[@aidenrobley504]

I'm going to ignore the slander of the Strive OST and instead congratulate you on your impeccable taste in regards to the Divinity 2 OST.

[@z1u512]

Watching Hotashi doomscrolling social media is more fun than it sounds

[@SgtFrogger]

Yeah I’m 100% having fun with her, Elphelt is Elphelt.

I love that we have gone full circle to "mashing on a big gap is something only a pro player could pull off"

[@NoblesseOblige-17]

6:20 The kind of video that OP is describing would be nice.

[@chryspyr]

Keep up the good content Hotashi! Also thank god The Gravity made it to S tier, absolute peak.

[@drinkingproblem8934]

Krackatoa guides are godlike, I used to rewatch those all the time and slowly learn from it

[@drinkingproblem8934]

Aight which one of the character discords piss jn Hotashi's cereal today? They caught a rea stray today lmao

[@Joao-ii2tw]

hello Hotashi Guilty Gear

[@guava9343]

Having started ggst recently, I was really bad obviously, having never played any non-platform fighters before ever. But for that 1/50 times that I did manage to get a win, and I see that end screen of Johnny looking at the camera after killing someone with his super, and that’s all the motivation I needed to keep playing

[@cycy8699]

hotashi when daisuke doesnt make the same exact type of song for the billionth time in a row: "HOT SCHEISSE"

[@Storse]

When Daisuke doesn't do conventional rock and metal but tries being experimental hotashi quivers in disgust

[@cycy8699]

@@Storse to be totally fair daisuke made great ballads and ofc the songs for the story are also different

[@jpvlogph5935]

Bro Hotashi, I love watching your vids. I don't know if somebody told you this already but, you look and sound like IRL Cleaveland Brown from Family Guy. It makes listening and watching you more fascinating.

[@burito3130]

OUUGHHHGHGHGHHGHGHHGH.., you might not belive it but that was the sond of ME JELQING allover youre comment #pregnant

[@reeceulf]

7:10 The in-game mission mode is a godlike learning resource, if OP is playing strive I hope they find it and prosper

[@theoverlander4579]

Having fun with the character yeah, but I don't play on a super high level. I just hover floor 10 and make the celestial challenge occasionally

[@havenschade8174]

As much as i play this game i really should be better than i am, im pretty much stuck at floor 7. I go up and down occasionally but usually return to floor 7, i want to start maining jack o full time but its very difficult, maybe its because i split my time between multiple characters rather than commiting fully to one. Maybe this new character will be a fun puppet or setplay charachter i can get into

[@testhekid]

at this point i think i should be watching the streams live, this is unmissable content

[@PsychicJaguar19]

My first introduction to fighting games was MVC2, I played with my friend and it took me around 120 games to get my first win. It takes a lot of patience and determination for some.

[@5x385]

4:26 i just know you went and watched em all after that reaction, you're a lil shitpost enjoyer aren't you

[@neonaofumi5572]

To my Japanese ears the main male singer improved quite a bit in terms of how he places lyrics to melody of his song. In Xrd he either cuts off sentenes in jarring ways or put emphasis on words that don't make sense to me.

[@mclovett116]

37:55 omg core memory unlocked, i was HORRIFIED of this level good to know i wasn't the only one lol

[@facemouther]

12:56 When I started GGST the closest I got to a fighting game was DS3 PvP so when I started I was total ass. I decided I didn't want to be ass anymore and did nothing but watch Sajam/Hotashi guides and tournament footage to learn what I was doing wrong, and ended going from floor 4 to floor 10 in around 2 weeks. So um thanks guys :>

[@ThePoodle]

cant wait to see you in celestial 💪

[@facemouther]

@@ThePoodle Thanks chief, still fighting my way there but I'm proud of every improvement I make

[@lukelacher1802]

DS3 PvP was so fun, I would play in fight clubs outside Pontiff Sulyvahn for hours

[@angel__king]

Every time I play an elphelt if they lose a single round they're guaranteed to do the infinite rekka combo

[@ThePoodle]

mash, mash like your life depends on it

[@h4rdtr]

Fusion is also my favorite Metroid. Has the best atmosphere. Zero Mission is probably more fun though.

[@shoveitup_inc.9717]

I can tell you right now, I am probably considered “good”, but I’ve never felt like I’ve improved in the entire time I’ve played. It’s hard to stay motivated in the face of this (also the celestial challenge is wack, why can’t I get in if I win 4/6 games? Cringe. Floor 10.5 4 lyfe)

[@timovideogames]

metroid fusion is fucking spooky yes

[@pmk4609]

Hotashi stream when that Romolla hits

[@zachstarattack7320]

elphelt is not good nor is she fun. im happy the dlc is low tier over being broken cash grabs dbfz style tho

[@randomperson-sn4rj]

The tower is a bizarre place Haven't reached floor 10 yet unfortunately Still grinding though Most matches feel fair but sometimes people don't adapt Whenever I find a potemkin I feel the need to have a mirror match I just want to get my pot buster

Damn I just finished replaying dos2. Nice bgm

Alright, I'm seeing the gunfire reborn in the library, absolutely based. So, after the council has seen your guilty gear strive ost playlist, we have decided to put a 100k World Dollar bounty on you and the previous statement will be revisited. You might have a good taste in games, but that doesn't mean you have a good taste overall.

[@MedKittOneri]

i mean the xrd ost is better. he spittin

[@MedKittOneri]

i have made a grave error. let the bounty be raised to 200k

[@aganaom1712]

Sees reddit mentioned in title Already starting off strong

[@YoungYoung95]

Title would have been more accurate as: "I can't adapt to a new mechanic so I'll make it my life mission to professionaly complain about it on multiple social media at the same time"

[@wtf.is.this.new.alias.system]

i want my char to be more than rekka :(

[@RapunzelRed]

Yo Hoashi I’d love a video explaining about why Elphelt is so bad. I’m with Elphelt how many people are with Johnny. I hear the sentiment that they’re bad, but I don’t understand it. I always watch someone cry about how downplayed Johnny is and think about how if I could sit them down and explain to them why he sucks theyd understand. I need that for Elphelt.

[@thgrimreaper9341]

i personally think she's just i-no but worse very accessible high lows but there's so much counterplay that's hard for elphelt to deal with dp characters can reversal through her rekkas (between high lows, resets, or before she goes into it) and she doesn't do much damage either her only safe way into doing rekka is 5h and afaik rekka whiffs so you have to gamble with other strings like c.S 2s and 2h (2h can be thrown btw) her grenade toss is considered better but it can be jumped/air thrown outside of certain setups not to mention that for certain characters like goldlewis 6p is the god button on defense since catches rekka and grenade there's just so much counterplay for her and she doesn't have enough (easily accessible) counterplay or big strengths of her own to compensate

[@RapunzelRed]

@@thgrimreaper9341 I appreciate some explanation. Ty!

I'm sorry, but Noontide is best.

[@Storse]

all i gained from this video was the knowledge that hotashi has shit takes on strive music unfortunate. liking johnny's mid ass theme is crazy

[@SoI_Badguy]

You people need to remember what "mid" means. Mid means middle of the pack. If something is mid and appeals to your personal taste you'll like it.

​@@ThePoodleI just think none of his themes in any guilty gear game has been particularly interesting to listen to.
