Two years on and the functionality of #GGST online lobbies still is more of a barrier for the game than the complexities of playing the game itself.
But yeah, this is a way to dictate the pace of the match pretty strongly
If only I can get these bloody karas right... Dang, I was only practising on stick, no idea how I'll fare on the leverless. Maybe now that Weight is gone, I can come back to Brisket.....
So...#GGST Potemkin S3.... The new soft knockdown on Mega Fisto is a wonderful buff. Some combo routes were lost, but I didn't use those anyway. Instead not only I can't get punished for HITTING Mega Fist (which, frustratingly, WAS a thing) but also you can get some nasty oki after a regular hit. Problem is, for that to be proper nasty you want to kara Garuda Impact and dammit, these are so hard to pull off consistently
Feels terrible to get gated off your character's best stuff because of bs
Always annoyes me that Arc System Works lists their patches and updates at "day X" and then it's only live like after 20:00 on day X. Come on, ASW, I'm only like a couple hours off of Japan. WTF are you doing deploying a patch to prod at the end of the day? This crap was supposed to land at noon, at most!
I am mad disappointed, but not surprised, at the #DBFZ patch. Total clown patch. Insane homogenization of the roster and changes that don't make any sense. I am mad excited and can't wait to try the new #GGST patch. Actually looks like they've tried to solve issues and change characters for the better, and the new system mechanics genuinely change the game. Such complete opposites. #videogames
DANG, straight off the bat, Sol's Bandit Revolver no longer big counters
Huge blow to the boy.
Just spent another hour+ trying unsuccessfully to get STRIVE running again.... Come on, man.. I wanna bust!
Still can't figure out why #GGST suddenly stopped working in this PC (the one I use to play fighting games, usually)
Tried different Proton, tried different Vulkan, different GPU, different disk...
Nothing on console and I only get a small window that says "Fatal Error". No idea why or, how to massage it back into working. Used to be flawless, still is on the other PC which I'm now terrified to update
This happened to anyone else? I'm on Arch Linux, currently up to date with packages
@MenacingMecha For me the thing that helped timing was making sure I input up with the other hand, this way it's like a "special type of half-circle" motion, ish
It's how I do my fast roman cancel Pot Busters in #GGST
I'm also new to this type of controller tho, and noticed I struggle a lot in #KOFXV where the input reader is frustratingly strict
Traditionally 360 is a motion I always struggled with and, though I main grapplers, it kept me from chars which required them (Zangief, Tizoc...)
@PerkFGC I keep intentionally bouncing between the two, myself. I was a keyboard player in the past and only picked up stick last year.
But also find different things easier on either. #KOFXV comes to mind, love that game but the input reader is so strict I keep missing basic supers with the leverless because, say, I didn't quite hit straight down during the motion. My other main game is #GGST where leverless wins the DPs, but stick wins on the fast human cancel Potemkin Busters...
Played a fair amount of #KOFXV yesterday, which was pretty nice and got completely destroyed, which was, at this point, expected
But I'm getting crushed so bad that it's giving me scrub thoughts, in the sense that I'm now doubting the netcode. So many situations where I was SURE I was blocking stuff but still got hit (plenty of the regular tho). I rarely feel like that within #GGST where I do have decent success
Am I gaslighting myself, I wonder? Or is Zealand too much for KOF netcode?
I've been on the fence about #StreetFighter6
It looks fun, I enjoyed the little mashing I did on the demo but it's not like I have time for a third fighting game after #GGST and #KOFXV
Really wish Capcom had been a tiny bit more generous with the demo, tho. Ended up missing the chance to play the betas and only having Luke and Ryu to play is too limited. Luke himself is a bit shoto too so it's not doing a good job of showcasing the game's variety
Where's my test drive grappler, Capcom?
Shoutout to the OCE Millia I just went like 3-14 against. Clearly I've been away from the stick for too long and desperately need the practice =P
ArcSys released a statement on Guilty Gear STRIVE`s network woes and a bit caught my eye:
"We have received many inquiries regarding certain network problems believed to be caused by malicious hacking. [But it's not looking like it from what we can tell]"
It's surprisingly refreshing to see a company specifying "malicious hacking" as opposed to blanket condemning everyone who tampers with the game or servers for other reasons (mods, stat gathering, etc...)

Ну что... никакой нам Эльфельт во 2-м сезоне «Guilty Gear -STRIVE-». Ну и не очень то и хотелось.
Но на 3-ий Season Pass всё же немножко да понадеюсь.
Well, this is it. My life is now changed. I've discovered what type of Potemkin I want to be
Tower fun for the evening. Footsies in Strive? It's the new thing, all the kids are doing it!
