Faust's 3rd super is the most genius thing arcsys has added to this game. It really fits him perfectly, its balanced out by costing 100 meter, and it's just pure utter chaos, exactly what faust is all about.

[@MMurine]

Faust has always had very gimmicky, lackluster supers (you could probably make another Fighting Game Garbage on Stimulating Fists of Annihilation, which had many of the same issues on top of giving the opponent the opportunity to just not take damage), but that was never a problem because Roman Cancel makes Gear the game where supers are unnecessary, and Faust was already exceptionally strong otherwise so I didn't mind. Now that Faust's options are a lot more lackluster, and they've removed the really gimmicky supers, I don't know why they decided to make this super as bad as it is. Wallbreak supers are so important to the game's corner combos, and I don't know why they just decided that Faust wasn't allowed to participate in that regard.

[@HellecticMojo]

Also while the super did mediocre damage on the black reapers, the purple one shat out a massive damage.

Characters with a gameplan that fits their personality: Guilty Gear in a nutshell.

[@ShinxBOOM247]

Alright, I've got a couple things to say about this super: 1: 4:30 Faust's super isn't the only cinematic super that can't break the wall. Sol's heavy mob cemetary, Chipp's Zanseu Rouga, and Pot's Heavenly Potemkin Buster also don't break the wall in a similar manner to Faust's. However, it's especially noticeable on Faust since unlike those other characters he doesn't have another damage super, only the multi item toss super. 2: 7:10 you can actually circumvent the insane startup of this super by PRC-ing it before the super flash. The super itself doesn't actually take his meter until the super flash while still being fully invincible, which allows you to do it on wakeup and PRC it without spending 100% of your meter

[@fivefierce8754]

Faust is undeniably the hardest character to balance in this game. If he still had his j.2K FD cancel he'd be op, but in the approach they've made to this game's design having an instant overhead tool like that would probably overwhelm most new players. But to be honest this overdrive has always been bad, I never expected it to be good, his item toss and overall wide utility has always been the core of his gameplay so for me I actually think the overdrive is more balanced that you give it credit for, it at least doesn't put him at a complete negative like it used to. If it did more damage and it did break the wall it would be taking away from his playstyle and wouldn't allow him to be the character he's supposed to be. Like, if all faust consisted of was combos into overdrive, or punishing with overdrive, and breaking the wall into positive bonus, it ruins him as a character in the context of this game. New players learn, that this overdrive is garbage and that they need to be creative and really that's the greatest thing about Faust. Sure he's low tier right now, but that's fair, if you put any other version of Faust in this game no new player is going to understand what the heaven or hell is going on. So it's only right that the only true random as fuck character that nobody can predict has a garbage ass overdrive that is hilariously entertaining... it's just what Faust is.

[@minimonkeymasher8888]

To be fair, Faust is so lackluster in this version of the game that he needs a bit of homogenization just to keep him afloat on the balance pool. And newcomers do not think like that. They think "oh, this character's super is garbage, how am I supposed to get big damage or break the wall like every other character? Why can't he do that? Why am I being punished for doing my normals so often? Is it my fault? Wait, why do my combos do so little damage? Did I just get punched fullscreen for doing a special move?? WHAT'S HAPPENING???" Or, something along those lines, I'd assume.

Honestly you did a great job of making me want to play Faust when I get Strive, great job of not keeping this series discouraging to new players!

[@xyceliumthe]

Honestly, the only buffs to Bone-crushing Excitement I would give it, is simply it being slightly faster, longer reaching (hitbox at least slightly passes the clover), instant position to the corner (cuz why not) and some more damage. Overall, I don't mind that it doesn't wall break, because honestly, as much as this sounds really stupid: I'd rather give that to his item supers. It could be as simple as having the start of the move when the items are being tossed, for those to have their own hitboxes, no matter which item. Not only would this give him a reliable wall break, but it could possibly allow him to increase his damage further by just going all out and spending two bars for massive damage. I think it would be super funny for Faust to be suddenly threatening with his more gimmick-based super in the corner. I actually really like Faust in Strive, not just because it's his usual gameplan of RNG, but also because his animations are so cool. As much as it probably is too weird for a lot of people, Faust's ground throw is so charming to me. Not only because it's this strange evolution of his old throw (where he'd lick you once and butt bounce ya off) but he does it nonchalantly until he realizes "oh shit I actually ate you". Also because I can just hear the Heavy going "nom nom nom" during it.

The crappy slowass startup of the super actually makes the window for this pRC tech super easy with this super. So... it's got a use in a weird way because of how bad it is.

Enough to realize that the opponent is abandoning the super for a strike/throw

If you want a second chance at making a short episode, I'd suggest Axl's One Vision. Other than the fact that the opponent can't burst while time is frozen, OV is essentially just a really shit RC.

As a wise man once said, the coolest thing about playing faust is what new wack things have been discovered throughout the game's lifetime

Top tier super cutscene tbh

Small tidbit, his 6s can be 6p'd by a majority if not all of the cast. It also feels like his range was toned down to adjust to the smaller size of the screen, but other characters didn't have their attacks touched in the same way.

Nago is my main and so much fun, dudes a zoner and needs thay balance out so he plays defensively waiting until the right moment to do explosive pressure to finish off the match

Can't wait for the Gold video on Chipp, considering how amazing his kit is

5:01 Is there any microdashing involved in this combo? I can't seem to land it no matter how I try, it feels that there's too much distance between Faust and the opp after 5K. Alternatively, I use the other one, it deals a bit less damage (181 on Nago to be specific): c.S>f.S>HS>HS>dash>c.S>cr.S>Mix Mix Mix (236S)

[@BigYellowSilly]

I can't lie I'm actually not sure, it might be kinda character specific because I can do it consistently on Nago, but not Sol.

[@Mag5c68]

Honestly, I like Faust rather he has low damage or otherwise. But I do agree he should be buffed a little.

What do you think about Potemkin's new Heavenly Pot Buster?

Slow invincible reversals have their benefits, they tend beat delayed buttons and throw baits.

"I can't use specials as much as I want" 236K 236P: Am I a joke to you?

[@JoeMattJoeMatt]

So I think the main thing this move is supposed to address is that its a relatively long ranged move, however, unlike Faust's other long ranged moves, its invincible and can contest other moves due to it not extending his hurt box. I dont think its particularly good as you mention but I do think it has a place in his toolkit.

The shorter length is appreciated, I do not mind if you continue making shorter videos or making your normal long ones. Both are good, and more content is good!
