I soaked this all up, went into training mode to practice, confident in what I learned and went into online and got dunked on. The duality of man...

[@monkehotdogs2227]

Same LMAO the safejumps worked but I’m getting used to her neutral

[@sirtrixx]

100% same

[@punishedbrak4255]

Practice against CPU on Maniac, it's basically same as a low-floor/low-level player and gives more understanding than just practicing setups on a dummy

Is kiske a better beginner ? Or who do y’all recommend

Akaraien is going to carry the entire Gio community the mountain top. Thank you for the guide, King

[@AchedSphinx]

so essentially she's better if you're really good with neutral and things of that nature. but on the lower skill level end it'll be rough.

[@Akaraien]

thats a similar conclusion I came to aswell you have to be REALLY smart with how you use tension, maximize meter gain and abuse her broken neutral if you can do all of that and have an insane understanding of pressure and the human mind she is godlike if you don't? L bozo

[@Anzeal3]

Man I really appreciate this video! A lot of my old game plans for Gio were messed up because of the last patch but this video has given me a lot of new ideas! Been getting back into street fighter lately too, so this change for Gio might be what I needed for both games 😅

[@studentoflife8532]

The fact that I've been doing the 6P/2K baits before season 2 because I hated post 214K situations and I get the same pressure on 236K. To top it off Ive had troubles with defensive jumps and dp got bigger and I get P&K buffs for neutral. Its as if Daisuke is omnipresent and designed the patch for me.

[@adityopratomo6475]

Thanks for this guide! I immediately apply it to my game plan and managed to won some ranked matches. I've just got back to Strive after playing MBTL for some time, so glad that Gio has new and improved arsenal.

so much for beginner friendly character, but jokes aside Gio has always been cool and seems cooler now

[@xin30hp]

For these blockstrings, cS>2S>5H and cS>6H RC, how do you modify your pressure to handle FD pushback?

[@trustmyjudgements]

if you notice them selecting FD as an option, throw them :) 236K is also strong in this situation as well.

[@CamFGC]

If you REALLY think they're sleeping, you could also dash cancel 5k and cS

[@xin30hp]

I used to do cS>2D if I saw them FDing, as its still in range and you can time it to catch prejump frames that would otherwise blow up a dash throw. The math on that is a bit worse now bc its -8 instead of -3 if you don't cancel into 214K, but maybe its just fine to always do the 214K to make it safe after trying to catch the jump

[@LegendaryO34]

@@trustmyjudgements FD only makes fuzzy jumping better since they can delay the jump longer. Sure, if they always choose FD, you can always throw, but FD is not a commitment you can throw punish. You are guessing they will FD and not fuzzy jump... but that's the same as guessing they will block and not fuzzy jump. FD is no more vulnerable to throw than regular block.

[@sharpstevengg]

I came back to Gio after the patch and was super confused on what was different. This video was a great help!

[@Minimoto714]

Love the new season content. Can't wait to see you bring out the new tech in tournaments and take the dub.

[@V2ULTRAKill]

I've fallen in love with gio and this how to has been THE BEST learning tool :D now I just need to get consistent with the character and learn how to execute better!

[@霸王玉蜀黍]

You gave me a new idea! GREAT!

[@HuevoBendito]

Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN

[@Chromeshell]

Very nice vid, making me wanna jump back in for sure.

[@amanuelawoke8458]

I commonly see comments saying "I took everything from this video but I still lost." That is ok. When you go into a match and use a new tool, it is hard to use it in a real situation at the right time, and execute it while you're thinking of 100 things. If you gave a sniper a new gun, do you think they would get a headshot on the first try? Even if they were an expert? What you shouldn't do however, is panic then hit the button that makes you win. It is better to lose, grow, and eventually succeed while learning a better game plan than win from panic scramble/gimmicks that will never carry you higher. Hope this helps 😊

[@ginosajii]

Thanks for the advice.

[@Frog102a]

This video is amazing - I had to dig for it, but literally where every other video is 90% fluff 10% info, your video is like the concentrated brain juice information stream I want in my skull

[@teighhoken2618]

I'm still pretty new at this game and struggling with my current character, thought maybe I would pick up Gio for something different to help me learn some different tools but this honestly makes her sound really intimidating to get into. Very interesting stuff but maybe she's not as beginner-friendly as I'd heard?

[@niedoanimowanyrosomak9990]

She used to be really begginer friendly, now tho shes kinda hard. Id reccomend ky or ino for low levels, ky is the most all-round character you can think of and ino has some tools that mess up new players

[@tresbienjevois7013]

[@rebuildermaple5293]

Is it just me or does the c.s > 2s > 2H pressure on leos 6P not work for me? Do I need to do something specific?

[@lko990mtapod]

hell yeah, now i chose the right character

[@Fishebidniz]

I wish I could understand let alone apply your wisdom

[@naw613]

I love how this patch really just focused on making the cast more consistent and gave them more tools for high level play while nerfing most of the outright degenerate tools

So is she no longer a good option for complete newbs to the GG series to pick up? I started GG like a couple of months ago and she's been my main since pretty much the beginning. I've been trying to learn her and the game and had some of her gameplan down from the previous season. Would you recommend sticking with her or switching to an easier character for lower level players

[@Akaraien]

she is a lot harder now at top level but overall still fine on beginner level

[@jamespostlethwaite7799]

Quick question - I have set the training dummy up the same as you for the corner pressure changes (cant do pressure into special anymore because 6p beats it). My 214k is still connecting before the 6p comes out and im still safe? How come this is the case if youre saying this isnt true anymore? Have i misunderstood and its only 214s and 236k that dont work anymore, or is 214k low profiling? Thanks!

[@sponzimusic]

For the combo against I-NO at 20:50 ish, I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Anytime I do the 22RRC after the second hit 214S, I-No goes up into the air instead of the bounce on the ground that I see here. Any suggestions?

im having problems with opponents massively pushing me back with FD. any help?

[@dergtehdergon9241]

I've found the best solution in those situations is to mix the blockstring with dash and grabs, especially now with the new forward dash that makes it easier to not whiff those.
