The Most Important Mechanic Players Forget to Use in Guilty Gear Strive

[@matheuszache7943]

I'm a habitual FD'er so to speak lmao. It actually started to become detrimental to my play cause I was spacing my opponent out even when they were negative. Videos like this are super helpful for me to understand what mindset I have to run in order to properly use FD without wasting my bar. Super useful. Keep cooking those up, SQ.

[@iframes7]

Really loved how you went into specific, common examples for situations, as well as explain what happens when you don't use it, use it incorrectly, and use it correctly. Very useful resource, keep up the good work!

I’m telling yall rn, if you’re looking for something to change in your gameplay and you don’t use FD, do it! About a year ago I was in that floor 10, celestial limbo where I’d have to wait pretty deep into the month to get celestial. The use of FD alone got me to being consistent, start of the month 1-5 tries and we’re in. Tangent> It’s not just that the mechanic is amazing, but it makes you actually think when blocking. Before using FD I just blocked to block, but using FD made me turn my brain on during pressure. This opened the door to playing *actual* defense. Paying attention to what my opponent is doing, and taking strategic risks, instead of just mashing or backdashing or jumping because I feel like it. Tldr FD is no joke, use it use it use it if you’re stuck on 10f

Yay for digestible, broad case use educational content. As always, I appreciate these kinda videos!

[@katakuna2806]

i didn't pay $60 to block rahhhhhhhhhh

Then push them away with FD so you can mash better

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that even if the results are not immediate, unlike YRC or reversal super, presenting FD as an option to force the opponent to adjust gives pretty good value. When you use FD against a character like Sol, he HAS to do something in response to being FD'd. It causes his fS staggers to go onto a limit before he has to take a risk to get back in or back off.

This Johnny was using FD on everything so I just started saving up meter and spamming Ram laser from across the screen at every opportunity. Instead of dodging he'd always FD it. He died fullscreen to a laser. His reaction when he ranout of meter mid-laser is MINE TO HOLD FOREVER.

[@greedsin555]

FD 2 hit in to fuzzy jump honestly has been the thing witch made me go from struggling on floor 10 to getting celestial challenges fairly often now I just got to figure out how to go from getting the challenge to actually being celestial

[@Franko_L_L]

A timeless guide for this game for sure

[@sleepfgc]

Crazy good video! It never clicked for me that FD'ing c.S will let me delay mash. This is a game changer for me cause you just added a whole new layer to my defense (and I've been playing since release 😅).

[@boringinu2077]

want to mention one thing. If you can use fd micro just use it micro is NEEDED。For example if you want do a fuzzy block somehow you not aware your meter so you press 7 p+k to do chicken block but cause you don't have meter your character will do jp instead in this cade you just doom. So to prevent accident you NEED micro. But micro won't effect drop speed so you still need practice the tempo.

[@modeun6961]

thanks for making this kind of guides, very helpful!

[@Jabroni_14]

Liked and subbed, this video was eye opening and I'd love to see more content like this

[@xcreenplay7264]

definitely starting using FD this patch to avoid chip damage and create space advantage

[@mcseal-j7m]

As someone who doesn't know what to do with FD, I'm looking forward to the video!

I was thinking about this the other day doing the celestial challenge and thinking how the floor 10 players I stomped hardly every use FD (let alone block lmao). I play Ky so it really forces me to change my offense and get creative.

[@nirvana1986]

Good video !

[@elfascisto6549]

When should one forwards air dash ? Besides getting out of the corner and dodging certain special moves, when should you ever do a forwards air dash instead of a forward jump or a ground dash ?

There's too many buttons to bind ffs. left hand is alrdy busy with 5 just for movement. right hand has 5 alrdy too for attacks. I only got 10 fingers. U got to make the choice what keys are double taps vs dedicated. Run/burst/RC/FD.....there's not room for all 4 as dedicated. Wasting a slot for binding taunt isn't even a consideration.

[@KatlynAG]

You dont need burst bound imo

[@h4rdtr]

bro what? just hit slash and dust to burst lol. You have enough buttons, trust.

[@boringinu2077]

why you need 5 button for movement. Also why need burst micro？
