Frosty Faustings XIII 2021 - Online: GGXXAC+R Top 8

[@ricardoludwig4787]

This game feels like every character got designed by asking "what is the dumbest bullshit we could put in a character" and I love it

[@asrieldreemurr1918]

yes

[@souvennir9751]

16:24 He really did that. Goddamn.

[@NeoGato2point0]

I love the Faust vs Zappa matchup because it's basically a doctor trying to put down an possessed patient

[@marquistf1996]

Lmao right

[@Pen7Ninja]

13:20 Axel died on the way to his home planet.

[@xYunK]

00:10 I'd like to expand on that and give my thanks to the Father, John Carmack, the son, Tony Cannon, and the Holy Spirit of client-side prediction based netcode. Amen. And of course the team that implemented it into +R. Those guys are the true kings

[@kingsiracha4565]

Just started watching +R gameplay again, and is it just me or is this one of the best spectator games out there?

[@LiLOsiman69]

Definitely it is super cool to watch even if you don’t play the game.

[@Ansemrp]

That Grand Finals was incredible. Much respect to Elven Shadow for giving Zappa such a fight with Faust. That didn't look easy. (Until the meteors kicked into overtime lol)

[@rna151]

53:26 - Heartbreak. Was so rooting against Zappa.

[@RENNGOKKO]

WHO WASN'T NGL ZAPPA IS SO ATROCIOUS IN THE RIGHT HANDS

[@KinetiK001]

Amazing top 8! Love this game

[@kingj521]

Venom Deserves a Shrine in the FGC!

[@Grozdor]

PepperySplash is also a beast in this game.

[@Zeno2806]

>frosty faustings >first match is a faust bravo

[@pancho9425]

Developers on zappa: "what if we made a character that gives insane pressure from full screen??"

[@James-lw9ih]

zappa is the true villian of +R

[@DandyGuy]

God damn that Venom was terrifying

[@daemonsparda]

Hey, I've gotten beat by ElvenShadow multiple times, thanks for not holding back on this fledgling Jam player :D

[@tracepalmatier9696]

And you're telling me Zappa *isn't* the best character in this game???

[@KinetiK001]

He's either the best or second best behind Testament

[@rachetmarvel931]

@@KinetiK001 And Baiken.

ZA, BA, TE are considered the top 3.

[@aserodriguez1425]

Wow that elven disconnect was a scumy move, you know that elven just turned his/her game off when the match wasn't looking good and that's total bull shit. That should have been 1 point to Venom

[@richinagi]

pc version?

[@InternetNinja100]

Yea

[@wholesomeslacker]

God I love this game

[@shawnculpepper4589]

Rollback is nice and all, but I hope this won't turn into a convenient excuse to kill the offline scene.

[@danieleduardoperezharris2638]

that convinient excuse is call covid 19 wuhan virus

[@NinjaGamer820]

Offline is never going to die, because it is simply just better. Simple as that.

[@kuntamosby4669]

While rollback is a great insurance policy for the fgc nothing compares to the tournament experience

[@kuntamosby4669]

Ok after clocking 15 hours into the Strive beta I can confidently say rollback is the key to having a stable tournament scene

[@snkenjoyer4989]

Zappa sword isn't fun

[@memelydcatting3049]

I keep saying zappa and A.B.A better be dlc in strive

[@coreyrachar9694]

Was thinking of picking up this game but after watching this I have almost 0 interest. Thanks Zappa.

[@amkkma]

Well, it's not like you're understanding anything that is happening at all since you don't play it. If you play fighting games, you probably played games with way worse stuff and worse balance.

[@coreyrachar9694]

@@amkkma I do play it, but by 'pick up' I meant 'begin to take seriously'. In any case I'm pretty sure I do understand what's happening and also that I want no part of it lol.

[@ricardoludwig4787]

Don't blame you lol this game toxic as hell, you gotta like that or you'll have a terrible time

[@coreyrachar9694]

@@ricardoludwig4787 I've always liked GG but playing it competitively is a different story. This game has some rank shit and Xrd's playerbase is too small at this point and has no rollback, so finding a decent match is a nightmare. Just biding my time for GGST now tbh.

[@KonoDmaxda]

@@coreyrachar9694 Hows that going, really am curious?

[@Konakonizumi]

Millia player and his knowledge of the matchup is simply 0. Mistakes out of the blue. It makes you think that the GG scene has deteriorated over the past 15 years. These finals are worth nothing. Somewhere "scrub" level Millia PRO scene is shambles It hurt me to watch...
