Legacy Slayer Player Slowly Loses His Mind | Guilty Gear Strive

this will probly be my last Strive related video. It was fun while Slayer lasted but it can't save me from not enjoying Strive as a whole, just aint my style. Save the juggle combos for MK or Street Fighter. Anyway, Answer vid coming along well, ground work is laid and script has started. "It's not over yet."

ok i've played a fine amount of strive (literally my only fighting game unless you count like 30 minutes worth of ps4 share umvc3) and i've never played xrd but from what i've seen xrd and +r clips are usually always something new happening that i've never seen before in any other clip, and in strive clips i feel like i'm watching the same thing i've seen countless times before, which makes me really curious about what it's like to play those other games in the series. i own xrd and haven't played any of it, but from what i've heard it's a discord fighter, which is probably going to be a very painful experience lmao

[@LucidButtonMasher]

If you have it on pc, it is not a discord fighter and is my favorite fighting game of all time. Feel free to join my discord for more personal games, but you can always hop in the player made lobbies to find people. Look for the blue symbols next to names since they are newer to the game. Enjoy bud, it's a great ride

[@LucidButtonMasher]

You've also perfectly described what i feel about strive and never knew how to put it into words. It really is the same stuff. Not enough variety in interactions and combos. I think the air tech out situation compared to juggling them really is the culprit

[@amorales7778]

If you own xrd on Playstation I'd be willing to go a couple rounds later. I'm not the best but I do try.

[@DragonflySwamp]

(Did my previous comment get deleted? I despise KZbin.) You should try the old games out. People fell in love with them for a reason. Xrd and +R both have fairly healthy populations given their age. +R reliably has at least a handful of people playing at any time of day, many of whom don't have 30,000+ games played. Of course it's busier during evenings and weekends. Xrd has a significantly worse online experience but there are still player lobbies in the evenings, and the Rev2 Matchmaking Hub Discord is a good way to find opponents around your skill level who actually care about the game.

[@m0002856]

@@LucidButtonMasher I dunno how you fix it necessarily. I prefer Strive’s idea of combos because they feel less like I’m memorizing paragraphs of combos and I can just kinda do stuff and it works. Like my least favorite thing in Strive is memorizing like 3 different charged dust combos for different characters, and Xrd has a lot of character specific stuff. Maybe that’s also part of it like oops you did c.S there but this is the combo you do on semi-medium weight and you have to 5K instead of c.S on hit number 15. At the same time, yeah Strive just feels like I’m doing the same things all the time. There’s gotta be a middle ground somewhere I think?

[@inflorescentiapando]

Thanks for the text on screen again. Can't hear anything with my hearing.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

I'm also not a great annunciator so i figured itd be best

[@shatterthineekey]

the strive slayer change i can't get over is the mappa hitbox actually reaching his hand now. i feel like it was not meant to trade with any faust far slash but now it does, thankfully good old 2h works

[@LucidButtonMasher]

It's a real truck of a move

Fortunately, unfortunately. I enjoy what i enjoy. And it's not strive

[@teaandpeace14]

​@@LucidButtonMasher But you still keep playing Strive to pull communities of Xrd and Strive closer. Respect your efforts man

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Ive tried. Mostly just wanted to try Slayer and see how it felt

[@teaandpeace14]

@@LucidButtonMasher At least you tried. Many Xrd players criticise Strive without playing it. It's a personal choice to refuse playing a game, but blaming it without playing it is just disrespectful.

[@Epicksme]

Sometimes I wonder how nago would function in the older games like +r or xrd

[@LucidButtonMasher]

I imagine like robo ky but good

[@giantdinoboy8264]

I think that he would still only have 1 jump but the ability to jump cancel his command dash special to add momentum to his jump and a super jump to get some serious height. Also maybe allow him to create frame traps and cut through projectiles by charging his Slash and Heavy Slash (Sword) attacks. Edit: Also give charged sword attacks higher counter hit properties than they usually would be just for the hell of it.

[@lizabeth529]

pretty sure someones porting him over to xrd so go find out fulfil your dreams

[@Epicksme]

@@lizabeth529 ooo cool

[@Kuroig53]

​@@LucidButtonMasherisn't that Hos? (Also Robo already cool >:[) I think Nagoriyuki actually kinda fits pretty well with the old gear character gimmicks, like Sin's hunger and whatnot. Just ya know, different gattling stuff, and most likely affect his kit to be even more bs :]

[@patoperneta1065]

that's legacy slayer guitygear player losing his mind????

[@LucidButtonMasher]

It felt like it

[@death_sh3ll]

see a lot of flag against strive. I wanted to play strive because of the beginner friendliness the as I am stuck with Plus R (which some call it a good thing) but as I played more online matches kinda lost interest since many players I played with in the +R discord are practically veterans and feel like can’t really compete. Or I am just not Dandy enough

[@LucidButtonMasher]

It all takes time. There are plenty of people who are new you can practice with, asking for new players in my or that discord does help. Either way, being good always takes time

[@anotherpersonfromnorfolk1587]

Alternatively, you are your own person allowed to have your own opinion. You can like something that someone else dislikes and it won't make you a sheep or trash or whatever else they'd like to say. Maybe that's a pansy take, but I just think it's better to do stuff that you enjoy and to enjoy talking about it, rather than to keep doing something you don't like and complaining about it. All this to say, give Strive a try. Like myself, you might actually end up liking it more than the older games, but thats just my opinion

[@spicetea4060]

Slayer must go through a lot of shoes they way he slides around all over the place

[@crownedclown2697]

[@greatpapyrus6264]

respectfully, it feels like "when my game is jank its funny and cool, but when strive is jank its bad and cringe" great video either way (also i-no's super is invulnerable throughout the move but not on start up)

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Yeah it definitely is that. I have a bias i can't get over since i genuinely don't enjoy strive as a whole. That may be unfair due to how i complain about it. I just enjoy what i enjoy

as a xrd/+r slayer myself, 2H is the most busted normal to be able to cancel from

Even in plus r i think it was too good lol. Though xrd is a bit lacking and you only use it in combos

[@entropy7705]

Thoughts on the new Chipp special? (Im genuinely surprised they made something outside of the box for Chipp considering hes had nearly everything already)

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Just had to look it up. Fits his kit but very weird. Guess they wanted people to use the wall run so much they put it mid screen

for a slayer player video i enjoyed seeing different characters played aswell, spiced things up and sums up how chaotic guity gear is

@@LucidButtonMasher I don't play strive anymore either lol

[@unaclanker]

going off from what ive experienced with both games (~10ish hours on both +R and strive, nothing big), strive just feels waaaaaay more cramped as opposed to +R's fluid movement

[@LucidButtonMasher]

It definitely is by design

[@BackOff_xd]

Strive is meant to have a More Honest Neutral and More limited Movement, alongside a Smaller Screen.

[@firetoofan5555]

I feel Strive focused on the current generation with Street fighter approach with Nrs level Gatling and wall-break pretty much traditional fighting game that what I am getting most of the time.

[@DragonflySwamp]

I still detest the Mario fair hands that they gave Slayer jH and 2S in this game. Looks so stupid.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

He's always been a comical proportions character to be fair. Pilebunker always stretched his arm out and undertow in xrd made him have huge claws like strive 2s

[@Qtphhhh]

Y'know, this makes me more curious about trying +R honestly. (Still like Strive, but the series as a whole just kinda grabbed my attention lol)

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Put it on your wish list. It goes on sale for 3 bucks often. Big recommend

[@theanimepotato6934]

Id love to try and learn xrd but it seems like theres barely any people online

[@LucidButtonMasher]

On pc i rarely have to host my own lobby. There's almost always people hosting in the us. And rollback is good enough to join eu and South America lobbies for me with my Internet. Plus you can always join the xrd or my discord and hit people up. It's worth it

[@theanimepotato6934]

@LucidButtonMasher Oh ok cool! Might just have to get it when it goes on sale then thanks

So, I found hidden tech with may in ACPR during one of my match. Which I call 6p charge cancel which allows her to cancel into specials, command grab and super even jackhound. Help her to play mind-game. Break game rule. Now, may has her own mist-finer.

[@LucidButtonMasher]

Yeah it's messed up. She can do it with 6h too

[@firetoofan5555]

That sounds interesting I will definitely try to do Yamada san, jackhound or other special with charge 6H. Since, I am aware charge 6H only cancels into command grab.
