Cuz it was a sin to be a Gear-fucker and also I think he was being blackmailed by the Conclave about his relationship with Dizzy at the time.

Next, you'll say...
"What a good post!"


I think he's young enough that Ky and Dizzy weren't married when they had him, so frankly he got off light with not being named Adultery-Out-Of-Wedlock Kiske like the old Puritans.

Its like Go. Just go ajead and lose your first 100 matches, you'll get some real solid learning in the process.

But hey congrats on competing at all. That's usually how it goes your first time around in any fighting game tournament and now you know how to play for fun and for glory.

Yeah, as long as you treat a loss as "What did I do wrong and how can I not do it wrong next time" instead of "Stupid cheap bullshit game he must be hacking" you'll make gradual improvement.

Is there a lot of "oh, you played <fighter> how boring" because 'boring' seems to be the new flex to salve the wounded ego of the loser?

It isn't even new, that poo poo was around in arcades in the 90s.

Pretty sure a youtuber I watch has a soundclip of LTG going on a salt trip because of a Scorpion player.

The more things change, and all that.

I can honestly say that GGS has been my game of the year so far. I did not expect to be this invested in a fighting game but the approachability of the game made learning it not as harrowing a process. Also the community has been pretty great from what I've experienced.

I saw a shadow baiken in lobby, that was weird

since when is that a thing?

I do not like that she can do her parry/command grab seemly while taking damage tho

Welcome. Strive owns, and if you ever get interested, past games were sick too. +R has Rollback on steam and it's usually on sale for like 2 dollars. And one day they'll add rollback to Xrd. One day for sure.

She can't, you just dropped your combo
Baiken parrying you is pretty much similar to Sol mashing Volcanic Viper for his life, it works in a lot of the same situations. You would've eaten a VV on the chin instead if that Baiken was a Sol.

Unless you are talking about +R or Xrd in which case she has guard cancel stuff and actually can parry and do special moves during blockstun. Still not while being comboed though.

I always skip story mode but Strive's was great since it's just a ridiculous anime short film with no gameplay needed

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I like Guilty Gear's background lore but I was bored out of my mind watching Strive's story mode. There were like 3 spoonfuls of action stretched out across two hours of bad Joker monologuing.

I liked Strive's story mode cuz they let Happy Chaos chew scenery. I thought the confrontations with Nagoriyuki got a bit repetitive and the way the final fight turns out was whack, but it was fun to watch

Plus, the Another Story chapter gave us the 2nd funniest moment in the series
