Here we are with 10 big tips for ya now that Granblue Rising is now officially out! Hope these tips help you out in your gameplay because while granblue is a simpler fighting game, even a simple fighting game can be more complex than most other games lol. Give the vid a watch and enjoy!

Downloaded the free version last night.. got the standard version today. It’s just too good 👍

[@dumbmoveguy]

Same! I was prepared to stick with the free version for a while, but then I put on Rooflemongers GBFVR character breakdown and realized I need all the characters. So much fun

[@newphonewhodis7152]

the game released at the worst time for me. Christmas with a big family is expensive as it is, but this month my controller started to act up and i finally decided to get a hitbox and next month im going to get Tekken 8, so im kinda broke. played the beta and didnt enjoy it much, but when a friend came over with his hitbox (so i could text if i would enjoy plaing with it) i downloaded the free version and we just played rankeds while drinking beer and it was definetly fun. If only i could buy just one character so i could get Soriz and get grinding, that would be cool

[@SimonCleric]

Would do the same if they fixed regional prices %) This game literally costs like two Baldur's Gate 3's for me %)

I have been on the hunt for good info on this game as a brand new player, and this channel is the best I've found. These are actually useful, tangible tips that I can think about and implement in my training and matches. Others often don't explain enough of the reasoning or outright ignore important subtle mechanics. Very good video.

[@babyjoker997]

Roof’s consistency and approachability has only gotten better overtime, he’s great and covers a ton of different games. Highly recommend

[@kode-man23]

Roof is the GOAT for explaining basics/ character overviews. I always watch his guides even if I'm not likely to play the game haha.

[@rooflemonger]

That's sorta the brand here. Here to help, but also make sure you understand rather than just rattling something off and then moving on.

[@primemetroid4427]

The game itself also has fantastic tutorials, glossary, basic guides and tells you stuff like what part or version of the move is invulnerable etc. also the combos taught are actually useful unlike some other games. Rooflemonger is great though

[@woahblow4127]

There's not enough info on this game. I'm used to having my hand held through KZbin😂

[@rooflemonger]

Alright now the "trilogy" of beginner guides is complete. Not sure how much other specific guides I will commit to but I wouldn't mind doing a character guide for Anila and Ladiva if I can find the time! Still gotta do that quan chi guide too, doubly so cause the servers were down on launch day and I didn't even get to play him day 1 lol. Anyways if you ever got ideas im open to anything just lemme know

[@hbic7367]

I don't even have mk1 but i'm praying for the servers to get back up as soon as possible just for the guide

[@ErrorEmpirE]

@rooflemonger With the Anniversary Update, would love/appreciate if did some Killer Instinct content… not to add more to your meaty plate.

Would really appreciate a guide for Charlotta or neir

[@XllRyantllX]

This is a game worth buying. Been grinding Nier the whole time. She’s lvl 133-134 already. So much fun I recommend to anyone whose looking for a new fighting game. Nier level update: 301

[@katajiro8178]

12:30 - To add: If you're out of bravery points and your opponent lands a guard break while you are blocking - you will be at a 15 frames (instead of 8) disadvantage. Your opponent will not need to spend an extra 25% of his gauge in order to put you into hit-stun, instead he can just land an M or an H and chain it into an ultimate.

[@CaptainIronpaw]

So that's where my bravery points went! Was playing online and one match I noticed I was down 2 points and was super confused

[@DoubleLLUU]

i did not know about the 22:02 - Exploit crouchers part. TY RoofleMonger. You always got our back

[@androtaz2621]

I think for people new to the game a couple of the most practical but potent tips would be to use easy inputs for your reversal/anti airs. Especially if there's notation overlap that can cause an input error into a move you didn't want. Second would be get used to using the guard button on defense if you're getting hit by left right mixups. There are also a lot of pokes to special cancels that are frame tight enough to be frame traps but arent true strings that can be spot dodged/rolled through. If you're new and find yourself getting gimmicked out try to keep this in mind.

[@SimonCleric]

This has to be my favourite video about this game so far. I'm a pretty casual player who simply plays fighting games for fun on drunk parties, and this game in general immediately appealed to me as casual friendly. But this video taught me a lot without going into weird terminology or crazy combos in a very simple way. Love it.

[@Daniels2l]

As a new player to fighting games this is the best video ive seen in the entire youtube

[@NovaKnight]

Dude, thank you so much for this video! I'm a player returning from vanilla GBFV, and there's so much stuff that I didn't realize about bravery points and ultimate skills. It explains so much of what I have been experiencing. Thank you so much!

Yup, I went to get Guilty Gear when it was on sale, and saw this had a free version! I remembered someone (Roofle or Maxmillion?) said this game actually had unusually good tutorials for a fighting game and got it. Two nights playing this trying it out, havmt jumped into Guilty Gear yet hah.

[@brandonsellers1076]

*First* Thanks for all you do! Your videos are always so informative and awesome!

[@HurkleDirk]

The ultimate skills slowing down enemies like roman cancels would in GG helped me understand why many people say Anila's ultimate sheep fireball is incredibly good in neutral (on top of refunding some amount of meter very consistently since I've really only seen it used in neutral). I will now abuse this knowledge, thank you :)

Great video as usual rooflemonger! Hoepfully you'll get a chance to enjoy some of these games because FGC is popping off rn. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of content for you to make videos of between all these and even more coming next month with T8, UNIB2, DLC's for everything else, etc.

[@rooflemonger]

[@Kaizanor]

Another thing to note on cooldowns and ultimate skills in particular is that even if a move is on cooldown you can still use the ultimate version of the skill, it will reset the cooldown again but it can definitely be useful for combo conversions whenever your move is currently down and you have the meter to spend.

[@synchrospartan8159]

It also nerfs the damage a bit, if used on cooldown.

[@Hurricaneroad3111]

Its probably still gonna take some time to learn all this but big thanks as always!

[@thunderhamilton1]

Felt good playing after learning these tips. I mught get my but kicked online rn but there's been times i out smarted my opponent and sneak a win out

[@Stroggoii]

The simplicity is not only good if you're new. It's also an amazing breath of fresh air if you're a fighting game veteran who misses games like Vampire Savior and Children of the Atom, that were faster than SF, but not quite 90 second combo airdashers where you need to know the opponent's horoscope and what lunar phase we're on right now like some modern anime games.

[@Zeomn]

By the way, for people picking up Zeta, you may actually want to avoid using the running light, and instead use close light instead. Running light gives her +1 on block, whereas close light gives her +4. Furthermore, you can link 2 close lights (without going into the auto combo), to help you hit confirm/add pressure, and if you notice that the second close light is a hit, you can convert it to a full combo.

[@v_Secre_v]

Nah behave 66L is busted in this game

[@247videogame]

[@Soulclenz100]

Great video, always appreciate advice. If you ask me though light dash attakcs are too oppressive haha. I can't wrap my brain around the fact they are basically frame traps on every single character. Gonna take a long time to get used to it!

[@rooflemonger]

I said as much in the beginner guide but they might be the part of the video that ages bad, cause I absolutely can see run light getting toned down

Man, I could watch that Vira super all day.

This game is so good. So glad we got a new and beautiful anime-ish game that’s easier to pick up.

[@strippinheat]

While you mentioned SSBAs draining two BP, you failed to mention that SBAs also drain one, even while showing it happen in the next segment. The catch is that the super has to play out the full animation, if it has a full animation, for it to work. Ferry's orb doesn't have a different animation depending upon distance so it always drains a BP on hit, but Katalina's SBA only does full animation, and drains BP, if it hits close.

Technical inputs ONLY do more damage in neutral. In combos, both ways are the exact same amount of damage, so technical inputs is mainly only useful for maybe fireballs and some other rare moves, but overall there is not a lot of advantages to using them

I think you get refund on ultimate skills mid combos too, if you juggle with them (not cancel from a normal). For example, Zeta's Ultimate Fireball (Counter Hit) from mid range into the Forward Ultimate Special will only cost 50% bar and not 75%

[@soraneptune4178]

ultimate moves cost 50 bar not 75

[@ftank9083]

@@soraneptune4178 I mean the combo is a neutral ultimate skill into a juggled ultimate skill, which should cost you 50 (refund 25 on hit) and then 50 according to the video, which is not the case It is 50 (refund 25) and 50 (refund 25) which totals to 50 at the end

[@soraneptune4178]

@@ftank9083 yes I know how the refund mechanics work you said 75% at the end of your comment. Therefore I simply pointed this out and said that ulti moves cost 50 not 75. Edit: OK tbh I didn't really read the full comment, you were saying that a neutral ulti fireball into a combo into another ulti special move as part of a free juggle in the combo are both reduced totalling 50%.

[@DuppyBoii187]

The crouching doesn't really matter for Siegfried because he gets crouching medium anyway. For some characters, it's a huge deal, though.

[@johnbaker7322]

I can never quite get the charge inputs on charge characters down to the point where I can do them as rapidly as I see them done at a high level. I don't know why. But the easy inputs let me spam those moves and I'll take it. In Eustace's case his fireball is even chargeable after it starts up so the time you save doing the easy input can be spent charging the attack anyway.

[@squeezlebub3593]

Chances are it’s because you’re not “hiding” the charging inside of other things. When charging (let’s say backwards) for a move, you only have to be HOLDING backwards, regardless of what is actually on screen. That means inside of normals, it’s own animation, other special animations…. Hell you can even hold backwards during the “Round 1, FIGHT” screen and the game still counts it. Those players aren’t charging for less time than you, they’re just economizing the time better. So in the case of a character like spamming Eustace fireball like you mentioned, the millisecond the fireball leaves his gun they are already holding down+back again so that the second the fireball fizzles out they’ve already charged for long enough to just shoot another one. Hopefully this is helpful :)

[@YuukaleNarmo02]

Dear Rooflemonger, I have downloaded GBVSR recently but the only fighting game I'm used to was MK X and 11. This feels like a ridiculously alien game. The hitbox seems like completely weird cuz you can only chain combo when clipping into the other character. I got a liking to Vira, can you help me with her and some b&b combos?

[@sound285]

The problem I have had with inputs; if I use both technical and easy the technical version will trgger when I go from crouching light to standing light/medium to easy input anti air it will trigger my SBA if its available its annoying AF. I recently just turned technical inputs off and now I think I might just play on a gamepad instead of my hitbox.

1. Try changing the game's hidden native resolution! You gotta edit the engine.ini file found in the GBVSR folder located in the appdata folder, then add the following text in the file: [ConsoleVariables] r.ScreenPercentage=200 2.

[@PJSmooth8759]

The damage penalty doesn't apply during combos.

[@Vikaryous21]

The devs themselves have framed it as a 10% bonus to tech inputs, I don't know why I see so many content creators flipping it around lol. At any rate it only applies if the move is used in a neutral state, so cancels get nothing, but doing it raw/as a link in a combo gets the 10%

[@Couldntpossiblybeme]

I feel like saying "10% damage nerf" makes it sound like a massive downside, but also feels inaccurate. The damage numbers make more sense if you describe doing the input as a 10% damage buff. The example video of the command grab, easy input does 2300, whereas motion does 2530, which to me is MUCH better described as 2300 being the base rather than the reduced damage from 2530.

[@wingspantt]

That's actually an 11% bonus if you think of it that way. 90 is 10% less than 100. But 100 is 11% more than 90.

[@MrCactuar13]

I wouldn't phrase easy inputs as having a 10% damage penalty, rather they are intended as the default so they were designed with no downside. In fact, the up side is of course faster input for important moves like your invincibles or even fireballs. Likewise command inputs give you a 10% damage bonus, which is basically only relevant for maximizing combo damage. But it needs to be emphasized you do not lose out for using the Skill button, you're just rewarded in different ways.

[@Cassapphic]

The way it maths out is the normal input is a 10% buff over simple. ladiva command grab is 2300 with simple, 10% of that is 230, 2300+230 is 2530 which is how much 360 grab does. 10% of 2530 is 253, simple grab does not do 2277 damage, its mosrly neglibile, but noticeable from a design angle.

[@ftank9083]

It is not even relevant to maximize combo damage. On the contrary, technical inputs ONLY increase damage in neutral, in combos it does no difference

@@windwatcher460 Yep. Find what works for you. I actually remap my top L,M,H to be just like SF, then have Unique, Skill, and Block on the bottom row.

Dude i was low blocking 24/7 comming from streetfighter... tried out everything but anything i did got fucked i literally couldnt play the game. Most toxic experience ive ever had WTF. Is there no framedata in replays? I cant find it.

They only added the motion inputs to appease the angry mob of entitled elitists who felt their "expertise" had to be praised and rewarded somehow. The game was not designed or balanced considering motion inputs, so you don't need them. At all. Also, the 10% difference only applies to raw specials done in isolation (or very expertly linked so it doesn't count as a combo). In cancel sequences or combos the damage difference doesn't apply.

Nobody thinks being able to roll from down to forward is expertise, motion inputs literally fg beginner day 1 material. Who are you quoting?

[@PJSmooth8759]

That's not true at all. The creators of granblue are fighting game fans. They insisted on the easy inputs because the core fanbase of the gacha game aren't used to playing fighting games. Let your anger go bro and be happy the game is smart enough to cater to both elitists and newcomers.

That game is so bland gameplay wise…
