GGST Character Guide #1: Anji | Guilty Gear Strive Character Tutorial | Combo Guide | PATCH INFO ↓↓↓

[@eddventure6214]

With the release of Guilty Gear Strive Ver. 1.09, Anji got some VERY noteworthy buffs. These changes are as follows: 1. His f.S has reduced recovery, making it a much more reliable neutral tool 2. Fuujin CAN NOW CANCEL INTO FOLLOWUPS ON WHIFF, AS WELL AS DURING THE INITIAL SPIN. This changes Anji's neutral and pressure ENTIRELY. Now you can do Fujin Followups without even doing Fujin at all, so you can use them in neutral as well as use them as much scarier mixup options. The K hop is especially strong when raw as it acts as a very fast command dash that Anji can use to get a tick throw after any blocked normal. The overhead is great for catching people down backing your pressure, and is much scarier than usual as the enemy doesnt get the telegraph of the initial hit of Fujin before having to block it. Overall, much more reliable. The P and S followups are less useful in neutral, but are still strong on their own thanks to the forward momentum from Fujin's startup. This change also makes Anji significantly less weak to DP's, as while there is still a gap between a gatling into a Raw Fujin Followup, the opponent now has to guess between Fujin or a raw Fujin followup every time they block a move, and chances are, nobody is going to be ready to DP at every single second they're under pressure. Overall the best buff Anji got. 3. Shin: Ichishiki got better active frames and an extended hitbox. This makes it more consistent on long-range parries such as a fireball at midscreen. Now you'll be able to hit the opponent from farther away! 4: Issei Ougi: Sai got a better hitbox. This is mostly to fix its problem with people falling out of the wall when attempting to wallbreak with it. Overall, Anji got VERY significant buffs, and while the tips in the video still apply, he has MUCH more options when it comes to neutral and pressuring the opponent.

Best guide I've found as a new player. More in depth than teaching how to press inputs and move, not already assuming we know all the complicated terminology and not just listing combos without context. You actually explain when to use the moves, a gameplan etc. This is the first guide that's made me actually know what to do to play the character properly

[@sakkaio2974]

This is my first Guilty Gear game, and I’m really drawn to Anji. Thanks for making such a comprehensive and helpful guide! I’ll be sure to refer to this multiple times when I get the game on Friday

[@eddventure6214]

Just in case you couldn't figure it out on your own, Jimbulus won't be in these guides. These Guides will be on dustloop and on various GGST resource servers, so look for them when you can!

[@simonp4832]

I feel like I'm missing something on the meterless bnb. After the 5H the opponent is too far away and the 236H whiffs. 🤔

[@Dahras1]

This guide is excellent, I really hope you continue with these. Fighting Game Guides with an actual gameplan for beginners are so rare and yet so valuable. I'll never forget the guide that got me into SamSho, my first "main" fighting game. In it, they gave a rundown of what my character wanted to do and then said if you want to anti-air, use move A, if you want to poke use Move B, etc. It was so valuable and this guide gives me the same vibe. Keep up the awesome work!

Hey , glad you're enjoying anji. And i hope nore people pick him because of your vid who were on the fence

[@its_tunezz]

P.s you can space you fuujin to beat dps S>s>h fuujin p followup will be safe So will be correctly spaced h into fuujin I think hop also goest the other side if the opponent is a lil too late I'm not completely sure on this one

Jus wanna say bro rlly rlly good video thank u for explaining things well and having good pacing

[@imnot9923]

Ky main here, would love a guide. He's not getting as much attention as the others, but man would I love him to get one

[@BlackZesty]

Yeah no Ky guides around atm. Especially combo guides :L

[@Arlo5.13]

Ky's dustloop wiki entry is surprisingly solid rn, his move descriptions give a decent idea of what's safe and what to use when, and has some decent combos to use to get started out! Helped me a ton :)

[@tenchi_muso1935]

Nice guide! Ggs btw I was the Millia in Celestial.

[@eddventure6214]

Ggs lol, I’ve been scouring for Milias so I’m sorry to say I don’t remember exactly who you are (played like 10 different ones last night) but you probably won lmao, I’m trying to learn Leo for the MU cause Axl is NOT HAPPENING there but it’s a learning curve for sure

[@paulc4843]

This guide is great. I picked up Anji last night because of it and had a lot of fun with him!

[@larquefausse3623]

Thanks. Just picked up the game yesterday and it's my first GG game. I'll definitely be referring back to this video a few more times for sure.

[@romainteissier4455]

Your video is really great and really covers all that a new player like me wanted to know before diving into anji ! Thanks a lot for it, looking forward to the other characters.

[@Eung-Homie]

I was a glue sniff Potemkin main, he got me to floor 10, mad respect and love for the man, but not having a dash or air dash makes me feel like I’m missing out on half the game, Anii interests me for some reason, can’t wait to try him out.

[@ryanfarrell2636]

This series absolutely slaps, hope you go through the whole cast. Thanks so much!

[@rigelseybert9406]

Returning to this vid after the most recent patch is rough, given how much Anji got changed negatively

eyy great guide man, you can actually get a second hit on your c.S after the FRRC after 236 s if youre fast enough, its a bit tricky but leads into some extra damage

[@kratosaurion96]

Good video! I wish you elaborated on butterfly oki and described the DP countermeasures more in depth.

[@eddventure6214]

I don’t really know if there’s much to elaborate on lol. Butterfly oki is simply using shitsu a bit delayed on a knockdown so it hits as they get up, and DP countermeasures is just spacing fujin perfectly, which isn’t exactly something that can be taught by words

[@deliranx]

new to GG. What is c.S? Thanks for the guide!

He needs the ability to whiff fuujin follow ups again

[@bingo2underscores]

hi, anji player from the future here! his fuujin follow ups became a lot tighter, so for the most part, the k and s follow ups shouldn’t be able to be dp’d out of anymore. though, if you’re still nervous about it, you can always rc the k follow up and keep the pressure up with more mixups.

[@kevinwillians6199]

No Baiken or Bridget, my boy Chipp is up next, hell yeah!!!

[@feri7mble]

Great

[@papaskeletor743]

Hey Edd, I'm finding that in the first BnB, H is pushing folks out of range for the Fuujin more often than not. Any way to make that more consistent?

[@eddventure6214]

Slightly charge the fujin, then release

[@WarframeCrunch]

I heard that GG Strive was made differently to make the game easier for new people, but I tried strive and doing any combos feels clumsy to make and what ever I try it is almost impossible to do any combos, max 3 hits is what I manage to do. While in Rev2 I immediatelly catched how GG Rev2 combo system works and I really like it and from almost start made some fancy combos. Cant catch Strive, it doesn't feel right for me. I will give the game second chance when Jam or Baiken will arrive.

[@OccuredJakub12]

Anji uses his strong special moves to bully the opponent

[@Azihayya]

Is it really possible to consistently get some of these combos? I'm practicing Counterhit, and I'm like... WTF! At first I can't get the second close slash on the wall bounce, so I try using a shorter dash and get it--and now I'm having trouble connecting the air dust--and it's just like, wtf is happening?! Is this fighting games?! "Oh--he dropped his combo!"--a commentator. No shit! How do you not drop these combos?!

[@twentylush]

yea thats...... strive anji for you. they absolutely gutted him pre-alpha without really thinking it through

[@ivanyy]

Luckily, his options were buffed maybe you are more comfortable using him now

[@internetmemeplace6886]

Damn they really gutted his meter less options

[@twentylush]

its horrific honestly. I have to play like an absolute clot until i can rrc out of what actually can string combos(which if they whiff without rrc will result in you being reamed)

[@internetmemeplace6886]

@@twentylush he prob won't even be fixed in next patch

[@internetmemeplace6886]

He actually doesn't have guard point, more auto parry. He lost the auto guard stuff

[@adrianalexanderveidt344]

Great video... But for someone who has loved and used Anji since Guilty Gear X, these mechanical changes to guard points are absolutely painful to see.

[@eddventure6214]

I actually find this guard point to be stronger than +r (Anji main there too) because of its variable timing and the fact it parries both highs and lows. Plus the fact that it doesn’t lead to spesific follow ups means you can actually get crazy damage AND hard KD

[@jimmyrisk4412]

How often do you plan on posting these?

[@leelamb2511]
