GGST Season 3 ▰ Leffen (Johnny) vs Budfelic (Nagoriyuki). Guilty Gear Strive High Level Gameplay

[@JohnGlow2]

Leffen kinda cooking with Johnsworth, ngl. This has been the most entertaining gameplay i’ve seen of him thus far.

[@apairofsteeltoedboots4729]

Much more interesting to watch than whatever that was at Evo

[@mintyfresh8732]

Ive been loving this season so far. Along with Johnny, everyone has new stuff to work with. Plus the damage nerfs and changes to burst makes it so much more fun to watch to!

[@FreddyElBellako]

this season is amazing, but the netcode is shit (like always)

[@estebanacostaolivera3232]

​@@FreddyElBellako netcode is good, lobbies and hackerman are the issue, not so much lobbies now that they fixed some of the big bugs it had, but random people being able to crash your game is such a stupid hole in security

[@cecil6075]

poor nagoryuki started the game as this really intimidating giant vampire samurai and now all kinds of weirdo mortals are showing up with katanas and wiping the floor with him. i'd be so pissed

[@milkshakekatette]

[@technodry3216]

Tbf i don’t he cares i given he just kind of lays on the ground after losing

[@hakumenx1]

​@terreausore2435 on average i think johnny does more damage than Nago. For nago to do huge damage he has to land a premiere normal, have enough blood to convert and also not explode. For johnny to do it all he needs is a card out and any hit confirms into a full screen corner carry combo into wall break. His mixup is better, safer with a card or meter, he has incredible normals that are also fast as hell. Johnny is an extremely accessible set play character like almost braindead levels of accessible.

[@greencomet2011]

That card special has such a satisfying animation to it.

[@TheMrDynamite]

This gameplay is really interesting compared to all the other ones. Leffen did not use "deal" ONCE. He surely knows what he's doing but I didn't expect that at all. Those setups with vault and prc are absolutely deadly, definitely stealing some things from this video

[@communistpenguin8538]

Vault's deal has a hitbox I think... So it gives overhead damage, a card and then Mist Finer just triggers it, correct me if I'm wrong?

[@TheMrDynamite]

@@communistpenguin8538 yeah exactly, that's why it's so good paired with prc. I just thought that deal would be a great part of johnny's neutral, but it seems that swinging like a maniac is just better

[@DexDavican]

@@TheMrDynamiteI agree that it’s cool seeing a Johnny less focused on gimmicks, but that might be informed by the matchup, since Nago can skip midrange if Johnny isn’t careful

[@TheMrDynamite]

@@DexDavican oh that's true I did not consider that. I'll check other leffen's gameplay and see how he plays neutral in other matchups

[@krazymistere2219]

I want someone to show me a lore accurate duel between these two when someone gets good enough with Johnny

[@just_smilez]

Lore accurate wouldn't be very fun to watch. Johnny is basically the top end of "human", but gg lore vampires are insanely OP. When Slayer or Nago lose a round, they just lie down and relax.

@@just_smilezI mean baiken is human too but does shit that no average human could ever do even in the verse

[@hakumenx1]

​@@just_smilezNago isnt actually strong lore wise. He a half breed Night Kin which means he has next to none of their powers and durability while being shackled with the blood frenzy a frenzy other night kin dont experience. This is why HC was able to enslave nago.

[@just_smilez]

@@bakedcrystal915 The Japanese fighters are essentially superhuman. Iirc the explanation is a combination of a natural affinity to ki (stronger than regular magic) and residual effects from the events with Justice

I watched the evo and heard nonstop boo while leffen on stage. Could anyone tell me why he is so hated?

He's an incredibly abusive shitty person on the regular is the tl;dr Nobody likes him and as a result nobody likes his success

[@draconiansoul7570]

A very toxic human being, made accusations on people and didn't bother to apologize when it was incorrect or fabricated (and he helped perpetuate this) often calls out people ONLY when he loses cause he wants setups where he wins often. The guys truly a piece of work. One of the players in the fgc and I'd much rather watch ltg than Leffen. At least the peanut butter complexion is funny to see blow up

[@trevorpearlharbor5171]

I looked at this video and thought this Johnny was sick. Then i saw that it was Leffen and closed out lmao

[@lohthe1onethegreattchoute210]

I can recognise that leffen is skilled at strive. But i just can't bring myself to watch this guy bc of just how much of a bad person he is. I don't even know how some people can even still support this guy. An he knows no one likes him too. He's just too toxic and prideful. I just can't respect any of what I'm seeing rn. That aside season three seems very fun and I can't wait to hop back on strive.

[@s0me_dood]

from what I can tell most of the people that do support him tend to be younger (or toxic), but also people generally dislike/hate him, he even got booed when he went on stage at evo really a shame that he's allowed to enter tournaments considering how awful of an influence and person he is

[@Drawfill]

How do you guys like the new dust special moves so far? They're weird to use for me idk

[@dragonic22]

I think they're only weird because they're still brand new and need experimentation

its weird because we were playing for a lot of time without it. But it is pretty normal, grandblue have same mechanic
