Bedman? 101 | Strategy, Combos, Overview and Advanced Tips | Guilty Gear Strive Starter Guide

[@smokepotion6981]

Really neat how the errorstate is the bed waiting for Bedman to create a dejavu. "Error: Romeo not found"

[@thugstin6429]

I hate how sweet bedman's character can be for being such a snob in XRD.😢 The bed misses Romeo's body at least.

[@Moeru_Gatsu]

isn't bedman? romeo and the bed framed into the same body? like, in the song, he died, entered the circle (pure world/heaven) then realized he couldn't want to stay here cause he had "something to give to someone"(protection to delilah) and quitted the circle, leaving his emotion for all but one(delilah) behind(like zato) in the proces by anchoring his soul in the bed?

[@DeertickDaniel]

@@Moeru_Gatsuthere are a ton of different interpretations to what the song means. You kinda just have to choose what you want bedman to be and run with it. Kinda the point of the question mark in the name.

[@longbeing]

1:20 for those of you watching after the season 3 patch, 2P now combos into beyblade

[@2glistenin]

Idk. People are dooming, but I think Bedman is conceptually balanced. He has ways to be safe, but you have to earn it. I don't think he's overpowered, but he does have privileges that other characters don't. I think Bedman is a solid character, and I also think Bedman is not a character I ever want to see buffed. I'm not trying to live in that world. Y'all want safe pokes into infinite pressure, and I'm not about it.

[@yoannsoh4009]

it cant defo have infinite pressure tho but it requires meter. So yeah looks balanced. Might take a Romolla clip or two to make them look broken ahah

[@radiantknight6988]

safe pokes into infinite pressure? sounds like elphelt to me!

[@CHEYMIX]

gotta love how diaphone learns a charecter for more than 10 minutes. much respect

[@OvermasterP]

Your oki strings only work because you mistimed the 2S oki in the first place, which means the beyblade explosion came out "earlier" and made it look real. The Bridget could have just jumped your fake 2S oki though.

[@yoannsoh4009]

@@OvermasterP lmao, "the defender has options against your OKI => the OKI is bad" -- casual YT member :D

Genuinely think him just casually mentioning the error 6E followup with install on bomb staying after getting hurt changed my entire gameplan.

Your guides are actually so good that I eventually quit characters you don't have 101s on and only stick to those that do

gonna pick up bedman, been a season 1 Ky player since day 1, as in I have not changed my combo routes much since season 1 lmao, this guide will help me finally leave Ky, unless ofc there's a Ky 101 in the horizon.

[@007meef6]

I started playing Strive with his Bridget guide and wanted to pick up Bedman and waited for Dia's guide to learn Bedman

[@hakumenx1]

Its interesting that watching your guide it appears ive taught myself everything youve said long ago but its nice to know im on the right track to what i figured i should be doing. Thanks for the guide.

[@themattwilson1986]

Another great character guide! Your guides have honestly taught me the inner systems of this game. I now understand how to tease out strategies with new characters by kind of approaching them in this format on my own. I'm glad to see most of the same block strings and oki that I was messing with in training mode!

[@matoshlee]

Heads up, 2H > 236P is generally minus/punishable on hit. In the corner 2H(block) > 236P(CH) on counterhit is -7, regular hit -9, and on block -11. spaced out bedman may be hard to punish but definitely still minus.

[@mr.thecoon1956]

Definitely one of the best character guides I've seen. I just picked up the character, and this is a great breakdown, thank you.

[@IfYouNeedAnEdge]

Thank you for making the comment about 4 hits of 2h autotiming into error that helps so much with pressure

[@royroy4636]

I'm surprised you didn't mention beyblade error as oki Feels really good to me for beating wakeup DPs, even if you sacrifice the looping pressure for it

[@Diaphone]

im surprised i didnt either o.o, i dont like midscreen but in the corner its good

[@Diaphone]

midscreen if i do i get hit by dp anyways lul

Thank you Diaphone! I always love watching your guides, they always give me a better feel for a character!

[@blastarrow6562]

Thank you, wonderful guide!

[@Scummoner]

I just got into strive because Bedman was my favourite character from Xrd and I'm so happy with these resources you're putting out! Thank you Diaphone!

[@Dragoonking17]

You can actually take a lot of things from xrd and apply it to strive for this character. Even though his deja vu is completely changed, most of his normals and his hover are very similar. His gameplan is also pretty much the same. I got used to the new bedman extremely fast. If xrd bedman was fun for you, strive bedman will be too.

[@Scummoner]

@@Dragoonking17 yeah, it's why I enjoy it so much! Errors feels like a faithful successor to Deja Vu and his 2-step neutral game. And he's finally got real supers now 😭😭😭

Awesome thumbnail

[@Butterfree_hater]

Watching the video rn so mb if you mention this already, but 2d also has quite a bit of blockstun. Because of this you can kind of force most characters to take a fireball, as it can catch their jump and also give you time to 6p if they airdash in

[@The_Nei]

"If you want a character that is easy to learn but hard to master with unique tools such as install and air 6E" I'm gonna be honest with you, I just want to play a bed

The Circles The Cercles Are Everywhere

[@comicbookguy2099]

Taking notes, great stuff as ussual👍 I've really been struggling on defence with this character so far, not being able to jump out of the corner is a pain.

[@cameronrramos]

Mind you, I’m only floor 8/9 but these are my findings re defence. The more I play Bedman, the more I noticed defensive jumping in the corner is a huge gamble (you have to be REALLY quick with throwing out a 5P or 5H). I think the concept the devs were going for is to play it like a tank, so slow and defensive in these situations to instantly reverse the pressure is the way to go. In that situation I just look for gaps and try to 2K2D + followup special my way out. 5P goes really far too, so you can often hit people trying to reset pressure that way. Attempting an 8 way jump + FD is pretty strong too if the opponent tends to stay grounded. Bedman made me learn the system mechanics re defence properly because he doesn’t have that many options, has been great.

[@Abigail-dv6yn]

Great video, I desperately needed this fr tho.❤❤❤

[@AMEMORYSAY0]

Thank you very much !!

[@judgem0rt1s23]

I wish I could enjoy fighting games like I used to, because this and skullgirls look so fun, and I used to lab combos in Injustice 2. What really turned me of from fighting games is their communities. Such hostile people make it so hard to get into these games. Still, I enjoyed watching this video. Made me nostalgic for sure.

[@alejandrogomez1698]

thank you

[@jettmanas]

Good vid. The basic stuff & what to do after a RC was helpful. Not sure on oki or how the timing for Error followups works, but am not maining Bedman. Impressive work. Thanks.

[@kahsaiharmon15]

Praying this Character gets some usage in tournament

[@nathang4682]

Great video thanks

[@finallyanime]

it's more a 101/beginner guide & the guides already goated, but i dont get when someone says 'this move is bad,' or worse, 'dont use this.' Granted im just a run of the mill celestial player so yeah but in skullgirls ive gotten top16 normally, top 8 once for their official tourney a while back & only did using moves people forgot about. Of all matchups youll find at least 1 spot for each character for each move over another option. 2s jacko for example. Back to bedman, they're one of the few characters who has an automatic followup after dust kind of like jacko being safe from minions. If there's anyone to lab dust on it's bedman for sure. 5s dont use? it's 'bad?' In many videos i've seen it used a ton. I guess ultimately a smart player will look at everything after a bit, but it can hurt others in fly-by-night discord talk w/how much people parrot stuff lol. Anyways appreciate the videos, glad you're going strong w/the content. Nitpicking if anything.

[@Diaphone]

+1 on every move has a use, cant think of any move in modern FG that doesn't have a use. At the same time some moves can be better than others. Can be tough to strike a balance between brevity and comprehensiveness when making guides, still trying to strike that balance. What do you mean by automatic followup after dust btw?

[@finallyanime]

@@Diaphone absolutely, cant cover everything. thanks for the reply. I think Error6e if im not mistaken. Like if you time it right, you can do string > dust > automatic error6e special covering yourself. i think you did it day1 actually w/bedman a couple times either on purpose or accident but you gave me the idea funny enough.

[@Diaphone]

@@finallyanime Ahh yea I do that a lot, it's good... i thought you meant charged dust

[@taco_sensei]

Thanks for making this video!! I really like Bedman and was trying to find a good guide to help me get better and DAMN your videos are so clean, easy to follow and you explain stuff really well! New sub right here!

[@breakaway4236]

Great video! Any chance you'll show a few safejumps with Bedman?

[@Diaphone]

unfortunately i dont think any ssafejumps are worth doing outside of the ones in the video lol

[@malihasom2438]

this helped alote

[@nathandam6415]

FYI far slash is -9 on block for some reason and can be punished by DPs. 2S is even worse at -11. This is pretty exploitable as 2H gatling already has a 3frame gap and is already very risky to use. I doubt f.s and 2S will be that minus in the next balance patch because I don't remember seeing any far slash being punishable on block like this, never mind being punished outright by DPs.

[@just_smilez]

Potemkin's fS is close, at -8. In a lot of ways I think bedman is going to have to play and think similar to pot, including being very mindful of spacing on heavily - buttons in neutral to avoid eating a punish.

you can but you can’t jD again if you jump/float cancel jD until you touch the ground again. Haven’t checked yet if RC resets this

[@1starfalco1]

Bedman is pretty cool. the only problem I have with them, is that when I'm trying to pay attention and look for my opponents startup frames of certain attacks the kid ends up running in front of them and blocking my view. its hard to whiff punish when the kid keeps on running in front of them

Sorry if you've already noticed, but in the intro did you mean to call Bedman? an orthodox fighter? I'm genuinely asking, part of why I've been considering getting the dlc is because I enjoy unorthodox and different characters (yoshi main in tekken) and was wondering if this was just a slip of the tongue on your part, or if you think he's for the most part standard

[@Diaphone]

unorthodox, like he's very unique compared to most of the cast

This character seems awesome. I've been wanting to learn a new character and Bedman fits right in with Ram and Testament as a "big button go brrr" type character. Too bad though since the game is unplayable. I've played like 10 matches in the last 3 days of trying to play this game again and I'm about ready to give up again for another month.

[@babynautilus]

following the weird arcsys advice i've been able to get matches most of the time.. what i do is go back to title screen (not sure if this is necessary), wait for the little symbol at the top before clicking a button, and then if i get the match failed thing i'll go back to title and join a different server. sry if this doesnt help 😭
