The Best Character in the Game (GGST S4 4.00)

[@Lapis1790]

I agree Jack is lowkey like SSS tier out of the characters

[@lumina3257]

the tragedy of the 6H whiff at 2:10 is fucking insane. Deadass missed because of the blood drain from the sourspot super. What a scramble.

[@joshuareznik9234]

Should just 5h’d no?

[@Skel_fgc]

@@joshuareznik9234 In this case any hit would kill, so technically f.s is the best choice, as it'd be faster than both 5H or 2H but still guaranteed to hit, just in case you're a few frames late hitting 5H or 2H

[@CamFGC]

Honestly outside of the bugs, i feel like this might be one of the best patches.

[@chuckmcclain8789]

the bugs are literally my only problem. Guard crush ram swords wont feel so bad once you can actually punish her throwing them

6:40 nago with high blood and nago with low blood really are totally different characters are they? Dear lord the damage on those H buttons.

"We've raised defense across the board and increased damage for specific moves. There are still opportunities to deal huge damage in the right situations, but they are more limited. This change keeps the satisfying heavy damage the game is known for, while increasing the overall number of interactions throughout the match."

[@Squiddy00]

Do these matches not show exactly that? There's big damage but still so many small little damage exchanges.

[@Bonemannes]

​@@Squiddy00dude I'd understand if it were just one or two matches where this happens but you got 27m of SamSho damage on your hands what are we even talking about

[@Squiddy00]

@@Bonemannes That's simply detached from reality. So detached I had to look through the first couple of rounds and record the number of hits to prove to myself I wasn't going insane: 1st round: Nago gets 2, Sin gets 6 hits, Nago wins 2nd round: Nago get 5 hits, Sin gets 6, Sin wins 3rd round: Nago gets 6 hits, Sin gets 6, Sin wins 4th round: Nago gets 5 hits, Sin gets 2, Nago wins 5th round: Nago gets 6 hits, Sin gets 4, Nago wins 6th round: Sin gets 4 hits, Sin wins. 7th round: Nago gets 4 hits, Sin gets 4 hits, Sin wins. 8th round: Nago gets 3 hits, Nago wins. I don't know what Strive you were playing previously where Nago was even capable of getting 6 hits before killing but clearly it was a different one to the rest of us. There are still large hits that still do large amounts of damage, but on average there are notably more interactions and small hits than you used to see.

I agree Nagoryuki is busted

thank u for allowing me to put my own music over it

[@voidroom4364]

I love Samurai Shodown. 😍

[@mehoyminoy3377]

I that whiff around 210 really did hurt me though… that would’ve been so saucy bro.

[@jpupper428]

Always felt like beak driver followup becoming a guard crush was kinda bull.

[@izzyzzz]

i like to think it's a bait and that actually it's neither nago nor sin, but bridget as she appears in the second half of their sets. hotashi you're devious..

in what way is the community experimenting and changing their opinions on the patch over time bad?

When DPs clash they can be cancelled into anything. Same with any other move- it's been a core mechanic for ages.

I don’t care that he’s good, they took away the stuff that made him fun. Fuck this patch. Edit: my dumbass thought the title was talking about Nago for some reason.

[@fabricatorzayac]

What exactly did they take away? I know they made stamina slightly more scarce and made kara super consume stamina, so he actually has to manage his resource

[@Okami_HD]

I mean I dislike playing this version of him more than his season 3 version but saying it’s because of stuff they took away is kinda stupid. Like his f.S and 2S are a bit weaker, he has to actually manage his stam and his gazelle is slower that’s about it. Gazelle no longer giving a combo on ch beak kinda sucks, same with losing meaty 6K after 2K 2D 623S but you get a full combo there for the same cost so it just doesn’t matter. My main problem with him now is just how free his pressure is, like if he wanted guard crush last patch you had to let him get away with elk which could always be thrown. Now he can just beak driver and get the same pressure, he just feels really cheap. Hoof follow up being punishable on ib meant Sin couldn’t just always keep it gapless meaning his opponent could reversal him if he tried to delay it, not to mention it was just satisfying to do, now if you ib him, he just gazelles and is +6 anyway, just feels kinda stupid.
