Theres a way to choose if you wanna be assist or main from the menu before you find people, pretty cool compared to being on any where you either are in the spotlight or are just being a backseat gamer

[@theworstspeedrunner]

this is with friends was super super fun but if you don't have any to play with I can see it being a lot worse. I will say playing assist with a group of people you know is really fun though I didn't actually get to assist much as I was put out as the main fighter for my group which is where you really feel the chaos. It also is really hard to tell when someone wants to swap because of how much there is going on it leads to getting distracted and not seeing the red boarder or timer at the bottom. Also my group only really got one lag match while the rest were actually pretty good

[@GabrielAidley]

Bad company

[@OwainBigGuy]

the main thing i would change is maybe make a version that has every character have their own health bar. other than that it's pretty epic. you definitely have to strain your eyes the first couple matches to see what's happening but i'm glad they embraced the guilty gear chaos instead of going for the standard KOF 3v3 mode

This is one of the major reason 1v1 and 2v2 games run into issues, unlike in 3v3, where the assists have a built in risk attached.

[@leithaziz2716]

If I can give any other feedback, the Tension bar moves much too slowly for the pace of this mode. You just barely get 50% Tension on average per round. The health in general deffinetly needs to go up a bit, I think that's been a general consensus so far.

[@devoncampbell3607]

Heath bar for each character is a good idea

[@Brass319]

The main problem with hoarding the main spot imo is that not only can the input be a bit difficult if you're not used to it, but the assist player has to agree as well. Most of the teammates I played with just wanted to be an assist or were zoning out or something and never accepted my tag requests. And then when I gave up trying to do it I just started winning harder because I wasn't throwing away an oki opportunity on something that wasn't going to work. The only solution I can think of is exactly what you suggested, but even then if people were allowed to choose their spot I imagine it would devolve into a button pressing match between the two benched players to see who can claim priority (or lack thereof) at the very end.

[@NovaNyst]

@@Brass319 fyi you can set a macro for tag

[@chaosx44]

@@Brass319 As a casual game mode a solution to that last issue of players racing for priority at match start would be to keep the random team order that it currently has, and to prevent it when a player gets taken out, simply make it tag in/round start the next player in the team order.

They can fix the problem of people not switching out by making everyone have their own healthbar. Honestly it's very (?) pilled why they didn't do that because 1 life bar leads to the obvious dominant strategy of never switching. It's not just fun for the point character, it's also optimal if they're the strongest player...

[@fatyoshi696]

I've been able to play exactly 1 3v3 match so far. We were 2 bedmans and a sol vs another sol, another bedman and a nago, all the repeated characters made it basically impossible to tell what anyone was doing at any given time. The connection was awful, it was 200 ms with the game constantly freezing up, and on the results screen 1 person went afk so we couldn't rematch. 10/10 gamemode can't wait to grind it all weekend, this is the kind of unhinged chaos I live for Edit: nvm this month's rivals 2 beta added good SA servers and orcane is absurdly fun, i'm sorry strive 3v3

[@Katzeey]

9:05 well the way they could fix people "hoarding" the main player spot would be as simple as: not sharing one single health bar and instead each player having one... but clearly they don't wan't that so shrug; hopefully they make a version of this with no items and non shared health so that it can have a SLIGHTLY more serious/interesting experience

[@WitnessesSay]

2 things. 1. You already CAN pick your team spot pre match. Going into search or create team, you can simply just change it from any to main or assist priority. Same screen as search id. 2. From what i’ve gathered and people have told me, swapping someone in is really really risky and dangerous. After experiencing me and my teammate getting hit by the same combo at the same time we kinda just agreed to avoid tagging each other in.

[@redacted7931]

They also need to give players some way to actually interact with their team. At LEAST a chat you could use in between matches. But as it is, there's no way at all to communicate with your team

2:35 Correction: You can pick who is main and who is support, but that gets decided when you're queuing. There's an option to claim a Main or Support slot, but it defaults to Any (which is the random option). You can't change it when already in the room and premade teams need to communicate the roles they want before grouping up.

[@SoberRamen]

I have so fun with this. If their objective for this is for just casual/party mode, its great, but they should also include some sort of training wheels so some casuals can carry over some skills to 1v1. Make assist quarter circle moves and have separate healthbar for them and have an item off/on mode

Def relate with the connection and lag issues. It got so bad in one game that Slayers theme managed to play for a full 1 and a half loops before the round ended. Yes, ROUND, NOT MATCH. The funniest part is that the match eventually cancelled itself because of connection issues. We weren't even one full life in.

[@captainphoton1693]

In lal the grayed out options. I hav't seen a single local teal online. Like you are forced to team with people online. And can't have 3 friends on the same setup and fight others online. This would also make lag less of a issue. As if at least a team of 3 is present. You take down half the possible lag.

If they gave everyone an individual health bar then there’s an incentive to switch out. Especially if there’s ways to heal yourself while inactive.

[@JohnnyGuiltyMan]

Thank god I managed to switch from "I'm going to show off my Johnny skills to my two new friends" mentality to "Fuck it, we ball" as fast as I did because otherwise all fun would have been sucked out. Not only is the connection wonky, but the combo breaking mayhem isn't exactly one for any kind of big brain moves

[@theflamelord1022]

imo TO3 is pretty fun, but you can barely tell where your character is most of the time due to all the assists, the way I would go about fixing this is increasing cooldowns and making the main players highlighted in some way. Because when there’s 6 people on the screen and lots of magic bs everywhere, it can be very hard to tell what’s going on

[@14megasxlr]

What I really want is for each team-mate to have their own HP like in a real tag game. Keep the player assists, keep the items, make it so that assist recharge much slower, but switching out is unlimited. I really don't like that we share HP, and it would solve the whole "I never even got to play" issue. Why even do it this way? The main appeal is collaborative combo'ing and 6 people playing, not 2 people.

The only real issue I have with it is that it doesn’t have offline capabilities (yes beta, but it does show that they aren’t adding offline as of now even on release). For a party game mode, this would be perfect to do in person (especially evo). I also hope they just add a conventional KOF team battle which should be easy as pie to make compared to this. But overall, it’s so much fun, especially if you find yourself with good teammates or with friends.

I think the perfect in-between of the 3v3 chaos and the balance of the 1v1, is truly the 2v2. the item mechanic could be pulled out, and just focus on using assists from your teammate to combo with. teams would be easier to form since you only need yourself and a friend, and lastly it could all run from 1 system of 4 controllers. I hope either arcsystem or a dedicated team of modders creates this, as i think it would be the most fun while retaining some of that multiplayer madness.

[@suleybin786]

First off, good synopsis of the mode. First let me detail my experience with the mode which may explain why I feel some ways about certain topics: I am proficient enough to stay in floor ten. I played this mode solo by solo queuing and not filling up a party before queuing. I also played it with an assortment of friends, including two other proficient players, and two people who are absolutely new to the game and actually got into it AND BOUGHT THE GAME because of the playtest being TOTALLY FREE. My complaints (and or just calling out stuff) for the video: The autofill for solo queue, DOES WORK. I frequently did that when my friends weren't on. As for laggy connections, you CAN block people, though I don't know if they can still join you if you host a open party. I agree that lobbies should have better control, but I also didn't have enough laggy matches to cause me to think too hard about the issue. YOU CAN PICK YOUR TEAM ORDER. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO... IS CHOOSE TO GO IN AS THE MAIN OR AN ASSIST!!! Works for solo queue and in a team as welL. As for Gameplay stuff: I think its fine that you don't NEED to switch and don't see it as a problem. I think hoarding the main spot is fine and doing someone that would require the or heavily incentivize passing the lead would create some issue with playing with notably weaker players. Suggestions like giving everyone a separate healthbar would lengthen the matches and just cycle through the entire team, and essentially require assists to play and pressure them to be solid and play and would probably "solve" that issue but I'm not sure thats the right way to go. I also disagree with assist being boring, having done alot of both main and assisting in my time playing and its a great way for weaker players to still contribute and have fun. I saw my two juniors have a GREAT deal of fun just interrupting strings and popping people up for combos or laying down a fire carpet and healing and clutching up. Also, when you tag, you get TWO CHARACTERS on screen for a short bit, which is CRAZY and some fellas might be understating how awesome, cool. and good that is, in addition to assists already being able to do overheads and lows on their own. Some players might just also be able to handle some matchups and enemy players better then you can and you should switch. If your main is not gonna switch you can always just leave after the match is over or do your best as an assist to cover for their shortcomings. MOST players I saw that didn't swap round 1 initially swapped when they either lost and or realized they probably need to switch to get someone who can either handle the situations at hand. I also think I experienced an astounding amount of coordination when solo queuing, good teammates, etc. Item combos and utilizing assists/strategies without communicating was kind of peak. I think the average person (in my experience) is more willing to do things like tag and strategize and is overall nicer then most people seem to depict them. To wrap up a lengthy rant, I think the game mode is REALLY good, A LOT of fun, and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to go back to normal after this. I saw some of your complaints were things that weren't problems or there were solutions for. I definitely agree with better lobby control (like kicking people or making sure that blocking works right, and maybe better wifi/connection indicators?) and some polishing but the rest should all be fine and I can NOT wait for this to release. Sorry for the paragraphs here I just saw the video and wanted to provide my opinion on the video, the opinions and information said in it, and the mode.😄theres alot id love to talk about like specialized strategies in the mode and some characters synergies/assists and all sorts of cool stuff

[@cadturt9295]

I've found after playing only with people I know, that its an ok party game. its fun for an hour or two, but invincible assists are just crazy, my teammate getting combo'd? just use the sol DP assist into chips super for pickup and it does about 1/2 hp. even if you tag, which takes WAY too long, certain characters with good supers can team wipe you on reaction. ram is probably the most notable for the full screen laser that will now hit or deal chip to TWO players. These problems keep the mode from being anything more than a novelty, and this doesn't even get into the fact that it REQUIRES 6 REAL PEOPLE. this means if you solo queue, and you don't get point, you don't get to play. over and over I had matches where people disconnected immediately because they didn't get point, and I've had a bunch of games where only a single player actually played the game.

As powerful as it is, I kinda wish you couldn't call assists while getting comboed. It makes it more safe to just go for stray hits than anything meaningful, since the team and just break you out immediately if you try. Hell, a slightly laggy move is enough to be punished, even on hit. I'd say to either make them uncallable during combos, or increase the cooldown time. It hurts me to suggest the latter, since that means even less for the assist players to do, but it would mean you could strategize around baiting assists, rather than just accepting that they're gonna ruin anything you try to do.
