Fighting The Scariest Guilty Gear Characters In Tournament

[@h2_]

"You're not playing against Goldlewis, you're playing against Dickinson" sounds like something Kizzie would say.

[@Beans-do6wc]

Dick in son

[@baliaza4485]

I genuinely did not expect you to pick testament of all characters against nago. That is crazy that you did that

[@baliaza4485]

It's great that my main gets a little spotlight 🥹

[@lynxthewise7233]

Well duh, Testament is the bestament.

[@char-rez83]

I can't begin to express how much I appreciated the way you broke EVERYTHING down. Super insightful thank you.

[@joeqiao1691]

LK is my fav FG content creator because of these types of in-depth, analytical videos. I mostly play for fun and I don't really study that hard when playing, but the insight you provide into your own thought process, how you build your characters and how you form opinio is really really helpful.

[@sleepfgc]

Your tournament recaps are some of the coolest videos in the competitive scene on yt. Glad you had a run like this and I hope you'll do more of these in the future!

[@natethebad]

Thanks for another tournament recap! These videos are always a lot of fun to watch, even if I already saw the event live!

[@Snoopleloople]

When the Lord does a Knight.

[@Coolpopcorn19]

This video was great. I really like this format of going through your run step by step, explaining your thought process and reasoning.

[@eduardoserpa1682]

Happy to see the Testament counterpick, it's a relatively low-maintenance pick.

[@moistchohan3896]

I don't even play GG Strive but the way you structured your video with all of the information breakdown made it super fun to watch. Keep it up, LK!

[@RobotPlaysGames]

This kind of analysis and just putting your thought process out there is so rare to see. Interesting video, thanks!

[@OmeletteGirl]

Man I really love these vids where you go over your theory and thought process, its really cool. Also its good to find a testament enjoyer who plays at a high level :D

[@snowsoldier413]

Always love these videos, some of my favorite FGC content around to be honest.

[@ghost-in-the-ciel]

Congratulations man, this was impressive! Not playing a top tier in Strive seems like a truly exhausting amount of work...

[@Malchiah01]

Watching you I have always thought that you were your own greatest enemy. That being said you have come a long way in defeating your mind goblins. You're doing great keep it up!

[@Ganeon_]

Great video per usual! Appreciated the insight on usually saving burst R2 vs big bodies.

[@21striver38]

You are a fighting game professor.

[@DeathbyGlamour-mwahaha-]

I've actually come to love the a.b.a Asuka match-up. his fireballs are so slow and ez to parry, and her low-profile dash goes under so many of his cubes it's not even funny. I literally play patient and wait for the cubes so he gives me moroha and explodes

[@Null_Horse-xh5xf]

15:21 You will make Millia guy very happy with this segment.

[@saxmanmel]

What a great video. I really appreciated the breakdown of the meta and individual choices. Good stuff!

[@viviengachet3095]

Great breakdown, great video, great performance. GG !

[@VeeZzz123]

I love your commentary. Your videos are the best, I can listen to your insights for hours

[@helmitonreboucasdeazevedoj4155]

love you LK, awesome video. I am off of GG after zatobros burial but what a great video!

[@tremblingnoobs5149]

I only just saw your TNS run video this morning, thanks for more stuff to watch on the side!

[@botero01]

Congrats! Enjoyed the analysis.

[@AdamJorgensen]

Really enjoyed this, felt like there wqs a lot of neat useful incidental info for a less skillful player like me to take in from this (e.g. being careful with burst in round 2 vs big bodies)

[@EtTuBrutalizer]

Awesome run man, gz on the win!

[@Zenkusan]

thanks for the break down, like the video a lot. Really insightful.

[@brian3075]

where is this match i wish i can watch the entire thing

[@styru4980]

Those breakdowns are GOATED.

[@fibbbb909]

26:25 ain't that all of us lmao

[@mikhail21]

Congratulations on winning this tourney! Let's gooooo!!!

[@gooselover42069]

Playing aba a lot recently has me thinking about burst a lot, similar to what you’re talking about at the end with Goldlewis. I structure my Aba gameplan around generally burst/win first round or at least take their burst, usually struggle second round and hold burst no matter what unless I have a win secured. And then secure the 3rd round with a burst. It’s made hard mu’s like axl/hc/bridget/faust/asuka a lot more winnable. It maybe Aba cope on my end since I’m a believer but I think very precise bursting and jr meter management makes nearly any matchup winnable as burst is always an opportunity to win with Aba so long as you have meter to install with.

[@StringKiller]

Congratz LK! Totally deserved! Played out of your mind.

[@bossguydude]

31:00 how do u get baikens momentum to slide forward like that to get the cross up?

[@fightedmealready2692]

I’m going to my local tournament tonight and then Lord Knight coming in clutch with this video, thank you sir 🫡

[@duchuyedisonvu]

you Won!? Congrats Lord! LETS GOOO Happy for you dude

good video LK. thx for coming to our events (WEMAD/UMAD) for years.

[@ExecutionerThel]

so what I’m hearing is buff Baiken’s run speed for season4? great video on a variety of topics

[@andresayalamorales6203]

those matches against the zoners players... yisus!!!! I still think a parry for the projectiles for baiken its really necesary... i pray every day for it jajaja

[@sorensouthard927]

It's crazy how nago has been basically the best character since release.

[@Avionnnn]

muh blood

[@matthewhartman1855]

He was pretty controversial ON release though. People were split whether he was broken or horrible.

[@AdamJorgensen]

​@@matthewhartman1855doesn't feel like that split lasted too long tho?

[@rjsaripada7880]

Nah, he was considered trash on release, i remember being joked on by people because i mained him day 1. How the tables have turned.

[@bassbusterx]

Which I feel like it's exaggerated, he's been strong ever since his first buff, but he hasn't been top 1 all the time since then

[@notmerricks]

I like these tourney recap videos

[@arthuryong8562]

Sol and leo are super scary to fight against. One mistake and your health bar is in orange

[@sirswiper7852]

Dude congrats!

[@risha5642]

I love your breakdowns so much. 😊 It's really helpful to see how your mind works when it comes to character/matchup analysis. Do you have any videos where you explain your plan for learning characters/matchups in a general sense? I'm trying to learn but tbh it's hard for me to improve without a "roadmap" and I've just been grinding out matches in a trial by fire sort of way.

[@felisk4304]

Congratulations on your performance at WEMAD btw, even though I live in Montréal, I sadly didn't have the chance to attend nor participate :/ Although, I am starting to invest a lot more time into Guilty Gear -STRIVE- and plan on signing up to UMAD, are there any chances we see you there? (:

[@Living_Target]

Love these videos

[@ivanayala2715]

Bro, im kinda new to competitive GG and lovin ur vids Which adivise you have for a new wanna be Baiken main?

[@macanudo6206]

have seen your top 8 in wemad, that was some fine gameplay

[@backgroundcharacter4376]

funny how in this game, heavy characters are not bottom tier like any other game. Even Potemkin is Scary.

[@bassbusterx]

Potemkin is still bottom tier, being scary does not change that. Same for bedman

[@tdwl2802]

@@bassbusterxPot has been lifted out of the depths with the recent patch. Bed however…

[@desperado3347]

nagoriyuki is an outlier because he functions very differently from a traditional heavyweight and goldlewis is being hardcarried to top 3 by WWA which you just know will get ubernerfed

[@lordknightfgc]

Yeah they are trying to make heavies good. Obv WWA pushes GL but even without it he's an easy top 7 pick imo.

[@HellecticMojo]

Well, it took a lot of work.

[@joesalman6892]

I just started learning the game and I am trying to play Nago, HC and zato and I didn't even know how strong Nago is until I sat in lab for like 15 mins

[@mcbill7352]

new tournament video? lets go

[@SirDoodlesAlot-1]

Truly a demonic bracket. Fantastic play from the GOAT!

[@joshnoritake3167]

Finally, we getting to the knowledge age of guilty gear.

[@Amaling]

I wonder how long competitive Strive will last and how far we get into counterpick meta. For now counterpicking is a choice because characters like Sol Leo Nago May exist who you can absolutely comfortably solo main

[@SirTriton]

White wild assault kinda feels cheap sometimes (this is coming from a goldlewis player). It’s so annoying when you have someone go through everything and anything with little risk. The only thing you can do is dodge or grab it which is hard.

[@mikhail21]

The thing that bugs me with WWA is the hitbox increase.

[@kyleflournoy7730]

As far as I'm concerned LK will always be a competitor first and a content creator second. I will always be in LK defender.

[@gby139]

could someone tell me which skin he uses at 2:32? thx

[@MufflerAlt]

mod i think

[@a52productions]

TESTAMENT MENTIONED!!! :D

[@Mr.Faust3]

LK a bigger man then me for playing comp strive especially when GL nago and asuka are run enders

[@Ikenhauer]

MTL seems to be a land of glorious hair LMAO.

[@FaceD0wnDagon]

So, question: Would you say that against Goldlewis, it's important "not to respect him too much?" I've heard this phrase in other fighting games moreso than in guilty gear, but I was wondering if it might apply, based on what you said.

[@ExiaBlade]

Of course mental/ emotional stress can tire you out; your brain requires energy like the rest of your body, doi!😅

[@liamout]

Heavy Meta(L) (the L is yours to hold)

[@ilikestamps2978]

"Fighting top tiers is normal" Tell that to smash players who complain about that every 2 seconds 💀

[@alphalee7148]

every character in smash is top tier since a character is trash until someone wins a major with them

[@SirTriton]

I mean complaining about playing against the best characters in games is a bit strange to me because why use worse characters if your trying to play competitively (i get it when you play uncompetitively like me). It’s like playing a boardgame and not doing the best move possible. Of course it’s cooler when you win with a non meta character but does that matter if you want to win.

[@Kniightisa]

@@alphalee7148 "byleth sucks" mkleo wins a major "BYLETH TOP 1???"

[@guava9343]

Because the current smash top tiers are not healthy for the game and are some of the least fun characters to fight

[@ilikestamps2978]

@guava9343 sounds like they just don't want to get good. Lordknight goes and analyzes his matches and prepares to fight against the best characters in the game. Meanwhile smash players cry on Twitter and don't even theorize or do anything else to fight against the top tiers. Maybe if they stopped complaining and actually put in the time and effort to learn those characters and learn their bad matchups, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but that's too hard for smash players apparently 💀

[@Kolos1001]

Baiken having bad match ups vs the goats of the game is unpleasant

[@lordknightfgc]

GL actually fine imo, just in tournament you need a pretty different mindset compared to a long set.

Love the educational tourney vids. But who tf says LK is mid?? He's been folding mfs since persona bro...

[@HellecticMojo]

Unless you win grand finals you will always be called mid. A pro bench warmer is still cream of the crop, but no one will recognize the context.

[@artisticvisionary00]

Dandyism too strong. Day 1 Nago and waiting to add Slayer to the arsenal.

[@zeywop]

ngl i popped off at 16:45

[@neurosis51]

Really wish you had more of clips from the tournament matches that you are going over in the video, instead of mainly training mode recreations. Very good breadown, but lacking visually.

[@lordknightfgc]

Unfortunately most of the run was not on stream, I had to do it this way for the previous one as well. It's a clear improvement point though and something I'm trying to work on

[@naythork901]

Why doesn’t arcsys make it so you can burst them far away or burst them closer to you?

[@SinKiskeGGST]

Why did you change the thumbnail😭

[@cameronrramos]

Drop Nago’s damage and I think he’d be less egregious... some of those catches in this video were insane given the low amount of effort and extremely high amount of health he took off. Even 5% would make a huge difference.

[@joshireyn]

the intro felt quite diaphoney, but it was nice

[@bransonwilliams5353]

All i care about is the persona music😭 good vid tho

[@sussymaximo9014]

WAIT IS GOLDLEWIS TOP TIER NOW? WHAT?

does the lord use potato mod ?

[@ryvikun4325]

The nago match at minute 30 edges me so hard Finished the video, feels like an emotional rollercoaster

[@ukaszubinski358]

I do think the moment you have lost faith in Baiken and did pick Testament was a way to show weakness to your enemy. This gave him confidence to take that game. To take Baiken again vs a "loosing matchup" and to take it as a win its a great expression of skill and composure. Congrats on winning the tournament!

[@PM-oq6go]

Okay but everyone forgot about chaos like leffen didn’t wipe the floor of the world with him

[@eduardoserpa1682]

Chaos was heavily nerfed multiple times since. Still high-ish tier, but he's way harder to play consistently.

[@desperado3347]

he got a really, REALLY big nerf last patch and hes been whittled down over the years by smaller nerfs, hes not that big of a competitive threat rn

[@lordknightfgc]

No one forgot about chaos, he's still a threat in tournaments

[@KingAfrica4]

​@@desperado3347yeah, not a competitive threat that's why every tournament always have at least 1 or 2 HC's in top 8. Y'all just be yapping

[@desperado3347]

Goldlewis really isnt the biggest threat imo, hes a very powerful character, easily top 3 but there arent too many people who play him competitively because they know his top 3 status will only last as long as current WWA lasts, which you know wont be long. Most lewis competitors you see have stuck with the character for an extended period of time and will still stick with him after the inevitable nerfs.

[@cameronrramos]

This is straight up wrong lol so many Goldlewis in finals lately. He’s gotten buffed almost constantly and I don’t see them reversing course. The best copium you can have is that everyone else power creeps him and Arksys leave him alone.

[@desperado3347]

@@cameronrramos goldlewis changes have always been doublesided, think of the fs nerf, the drone nerf, the thing that pushed him from high-mid tier to top tier was wwa, nothing else and wwa will obviously get absolutely destroyed next balance patch

[@HellecticMojo]

@@desperado3347 drone nerf is "it works like every non-super projectile in the game" It's barely a nerf, but a correction.

[@desperado3347]

@@HellecticMojo okay? im not arguing against that, its just true that after the fd megabuff goldlewis was mid tier at best and his changes after this have mostly been minor until WWA came along and shot him up the tierlist, and now in a couple weeks he’ll tumble back down because everybody wants this character dead

[@HellecticMojo]

@@desperado3347 no he wasn't. Goldlewis players just whine when they get even the slightest nerf. They doom and gloom over everything. God forbid they have to use meter to stay in, god forbid they remember their 6p and 2p, 2k buffs. Goldlewis players make Konakon look less whiny.
