Once I nail these wake up supers I'll be unstoppable.

I've been trying to embrace the  life more recently, so here it is: the absolute dumbest loving match I've played in this game. I played so horribly yet somehow my opponent played worse and the result had me actually laughing when I watched it back.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnidP3yJgh4

Chipp might be the funniest character in the series. Dude just casually running along side Sols motorcycle and HCs sports car had me laughing. The way he shows up just casually hanging from the ceiling. As an outsider to the franchise who just got into in strive and binged the story content I would never of guessed Chipp and Axl would be my favorite story characters from my first impressions of seeing a summary of the first GG.

Can someone clue me in on how to get past Nagoriyuki's constant barrage of slashes that zone out 75% of the screen? He just slowly moves to one side slashing at the entire screen. I know he can be thrown between slashes, but if one connects it does 1-2 more hits automatically and I can't find the window to punish a whiff.

Alright, dropped down to 8 playing against a Ky and Leo among a few other people. Got back to 9 pretty fast but I feel like there's some matchups like that where the opponent doesn't have to know what they're doing and I can't actually do poo poo, because the players that kicked me down I didn't feel like were actually any good and just constantly mashing at all times. I have a really hard time dealing with offensive pressure. Like I've gotten to the point where I sometimes do block the high when Leo backturns but he can just hit his buttons constantly and eventually I get hit, I don't really know how to get out of it. I take a lot of damage trying to super on wakeup too because it's so hard to properly reversal that input. With Ky it's just buttons into his flip where I never know how to actually get out of Ky doing that repeatedly. Also in that matchup I eat a ton of damage very stupidly loving up my flick input or doing flick on reaction to slow fireball, and then having the fireball be TOO slow and flick whiffing first, then getting counterhit by the fireball. When I do get a slidehead and can close the gap my oki just gets stuffed by the opponent mashing buttons on wakeup every time because I'm taking too much time to get too close with my HFB or I just don't do meaties correctly.

Depends on the opponent and what tools you have available. A decent nago may be mixing it up, but if they are quite literally just doing the same slash over and over again, my first instinct would be to bait it out with empty jumps/double jumps. Air block the slash, airdash punish any whiff as your opportunity in. If the slash you're dealing with doesn't cover low to the ground, you might be able to go under it with certain moves. Probably the best thing to do is boot up training mode, record nago, and experiment. You might find something cool and awesome!

You can just continue stomping people beneath your level, and they can usually see your level (since most people use the floor badge), so it feels patently unfair.

Trying to F.D.B. Ky's fast projectile is usually not worth it in my experience. In that matchup I mostly rely on other options, like going over it with Megafist. I rarely remember F.D.B. exists, actually, since it's by far the most situational move on Pot's list.

Has anyone else had cases of weirdly asymmetric/inconsistent latency? I have one specific friend who, whenever I was fighting him today, would be constantly seeing between 3-8 frames of rollback. But on my screen I saw him with only 1f rollback and had no issues. We were in a player match room with ~5 people and neither of us had major connection issues with anyone else there -- we were cycling in and out since it was winner-stays-on. Yes I'm on ethernet.

Keeps happening to me on playstation When the network is having issues, it's a crapshoot where exactly I get locked into. On a good day, the game is still in training mode and just stops trying to find a match without telling you. Sometimes you get stuck in a console and can't interact with the menus anymore. I haven't gotten stuck in a loading screen yet but it wouldn't surprise me if it's more of the same.

Generally they spam 5SSS and then wait, then either 5H or 5K to punish any forward movement, or just loop back to the start it since I can't find a way to push in unless they gently caress up their buttons.

Is there some way to turn off the gamepad vibration when you find a match (but before it's confirmed) in training mode? 80% of the time the match doesn't actually fire for reasons I don't understand, and the game makes it very clear when it does fire due to the whole "here comes daredevil" callout, so all the vibration really does is annoy me while I'm alt-tabbed and waiting to find a match.Andrigaar posted:Can someone clue me in on how to get past Nagoriyuki's constant barrage of slashes that zone out 75% of the screen? He just slowly moves to one side slashing at the entire screen. Meanwhile none of my attacks ever connect and if you 5P me in the face the match is just loving over. Any pressure at all and I'm just done forever. I've had so many wall combos thrown in my face that I can't contest against at all, and that seem to take off anywhere from 50% to 80% of my health bar, by now I really don't know what to do anymore.

If they're in your face and doing that you can just mash. Also if you're Sol don't be afraid to punish his whiffs. Nago recovers FOREVER when he whiffs f.S so you can airdash in or just 6S to challenge his buttons. If he's actually in your face and doing 5SS(whatever) close range pressure you just kind of have to defend or volcanic viper out. Wait until he pops his blood meter or has to back off and play pokey while it's nearly full. Edit: By challenge his buttons I mean if he does f.S literally hit his sword it has a hurtbox.

If you're on pc then that's your comp not being powerful enough for the rollback - given that some stages are considerably more demanding than others and most people have stages set to auto, that would explain why you're only seeing it with the one friend. I think Ramlethal is also a bit more demanding than the other characters, but the stages are probably the culprit here

Play in the Park. You can swap to the park on the floor select screen. It's also infinite rematch. I ran into plenty of people willing to go first to ten regardless of the win/loss record.

Sometimes you get into a match with someone that's REALLY not very good and I'd like to play against them with a character I'm not good at instead of rematching 6 times in a row and destroying them

Jack Trades posted:Nago's 5S is a pretty bad poke actually. Sol can whiff punish it with fS - Revolver and suddenly Nago is now hosed. These are standard drawbacks of long buttons in GG: long whiff recovery and big extended hurtboxes. Nago can challenge Sol at basically fullscreen, but Sol can get in if Nago presses fS at the wrong time. If Sol tries to randomly fish for fS instead of doing it on reaction, Nago gets a (probably bigger) whiff punish combo. Also, if Sol is just hanging out at full screen trying to whiff punish fS, Nago can just walk forward to get meter and screen position.

True, but he doesn't get as much off of 5H as he does f.S. f.S on block he can go into f.SS and gain a ton of space and threaten some nasty frame traps. It makes more sense that long range, high value pokes aren't safe to whiff.

You don't really want to whiff those moves either, they have 50f+ total duration (comparable to a fireball). Not every big poke leaves an extended hurtbox but it's super common, and is usually baked into the move's risk-reward. For instance if you told me that Faust's f.S in Xrd was a bad poke because you could whiff punish it, I would be very confused.

ya both 5h and 2h are like -30 on whiff and leave half the screen open for you to take advantage of you have time to eat a snack and still be able to run up/iad whatever and poking with 5s is totally a terrible habit which like 80% of the cast can punish badly either by whiff punishing, iad, or low profiling. any inexperienced nago can be easily conditioned to stick out 5s just by walking back and forth out of range. ofc when he has 2 blood things get more complicated but at that point he cant do most of his frame traps without popping anyway
