Happy New Year motherfuckers.
So who here has improved since getting Xrd a few weeks ago?
Please tell me you've at least one one match.
NA LOBBY WHERE?!
I feel bad defeating newbies in this game. Simply because I know that if they're even worse than me then there isn't much hope for them.
i play against a ponyfucker sometimes, hes not very good but neither am i.
hes fun to play against despite all that, and he did buy me the game without me asking.
-question-
is 4 frame delay good on a cross continental connection?
>>322102129
Everyone has to start from somewhere. Some are just faster in understanding what to do.
I was interested in this game.
I've played around on the Wii version of GG games with my cousin and loved the characters and possibilities. However, didn't have a stick as I am accustomed to using an arcade stick with SF4 and more recently UMVC3.
Since UMvC3 is an anime fighter, I'll love Xrd right? I love the art style and characters since knowing some of them from GG+R(?) as stated earlier.
My only concern is the player count. I looked on steam and the player count was ~450 players at 10pm EST.
Also, how is the netplay? I have 100/100 fiber, midwest.
>>322102082
Start one and I'll hop on.
>>322101990
I haven't learned anything because it's on my backlog and the only grappler is Pot and I don't like him.
>>322102190
Yes. How the hell do you get 4f between continents?
>>322102947
fiber on both ends im guessing.
and GGxrd is region locked so i had to switch my region settings whenever i want to play against him
>>322101990
Since I started from absolutely no FG knowledge, it would've been impossible to not improve over the course of a week.
I just try to learn one new lesson per day. Slow and steady.

>>322101990
I play I-No and remember to use notes more, but fall back too much on the same muscle memory gimmicks and chemical love spam.
I can't fucking IAD with her on a controller. It just won't work, especially after 6P. Kill me.

How are you performing your IADs? I used to do 396 but switching to 196 helped get them a bit more consistently.

>>322101990
I'm sorry OP but I have 0 matches played.
Too scared to play and get my very essence smashed into molecules.
I-no is pure!
PURE!
>>322103193
This. Anyone remotely good just corner carries for half your health and then one corner mixup into death. Might occasionally get a chance to play for about 10 seconds before they break through or block a mixup in corner, but they rc and hit high if i was blocking low or low if i was blocking high or just continue pressure til i crack. Pretty demoralizing. I like GG more, but I at least feel like I get to play in P4A or BB.
>try playing Ram
>that walk animation
MUH
>>322103634
I've tried 966, 969, 696, 9566, and even that weird ass 665789 shit for hoverdash into IAD or whatever. All of them seem to come out too slow, or not at all.
>>322103947
The answer is putting an offense of your own up, once you have some short combos you can RC to demand respect, you'll become a lot more threatening. Defense is important, but you can't just wait it out.. Learn your pokes and how to hit confirm
>>322104161
>>322103947
Someone told me that GG is essentially a big guessing game. There's very little 'reaction' based stuff for mixups, so the only option is to get in there and make the enemy 'just guess' against you.
>>322103947

>what is burst
>what is FD

>what is reversals

Despite being very offensive the game gives plenty of defensive tools fucking use them
>>322101990
I've gotten better, that Anon that posted the Faust guide last night was a huge help too.
>>322104389
Listing burst as a legitimate option vs anyone good is retarded on a whole new level.
>>322104513
Then he's learn when to use burst
>>322104513
>le burst is bad maymay
stop being so fucking predictable faggot.
>>322104513
Are you mashing Burst right after a Dust or some shit?
>>322104513
No, this post is fucking retarded and you just revealed you are still to dumb to use the mechanic properly. Just because a burst can be baited doesn't mean you just give up and never try to use it properly and come back in the match.
>>322104389
>>what is blitz shield
This is such a good mechanic I don't understand why more people aren't trying to use it.
>>322105504
Usually the offensive person has more meter and can just blitz back.
>>322103606
I like that they seem to think that Jack-O is on top and I-no is on bottom.
>>322106113
That's because Jack O is a slut and I-No is pure!

Really wish the connection was better, though. EU connection is suffering.
After over a year of playing this game I still can't 6K loop efficiently with Pot. I don't know how to play anyone else, who should I learn that'll be a good cover for my bad matchups?

There's more to pot then 6k loops, also do the easier version with trishula. It does more dmg anyways then the old loops.
Also why is dustloop(the website) fucking dead? Thought that was suppose to be the GG version of srk

I don't because my internet is garbage because I live out in the boondocks. With that said, I still practice and learn, and travel to the town over to go to arcades or travel around to do tournaments, even if I get bodied sometimes.

Jesus I thought the "murrica is a 3rd world country" thing was a meme
>>322112117
there are state laws that prevent you from laying down lines for cable or FIOS.
>>322112089
Dammit I guess I'll just wait for someone else to start a lobby then.
>>322112117
Most of those places are way out inthe country and the only alternative is to pay for the cable company to run cable all the way to your house, which is obviously not cheap.
Elphelt is for plebs she even says so herself
>>322112117
It's mostly due to the fact that some counties and areas just don't have enough people so businesses like Comcast or Time Warner see no profit in laying down copper wire or fiber optics, and the FCC wont do anything about it. Despite the FCC's recent stuff over throttling, they still allow throttling as long as "they do it to everyone and it's not selective".
The country is pretty garbage, hell even some states have laws that prevent them from laying down cable in certain areas. I remember there was a thing about Kentucky where they're finally laying down 3000 lines of fiber optics for the entire state, but it's not guaranteed that Comcast, Mediacom, Time Warner, or whoever will actually use them, because they don't have to if they find no profit from the people there in order to set up places and pay new employees.
US is only good if you live in a major city really. Kansas City and Austin are the only places with decent internet, KC having the best internet in the country.

Is there anything that Venom could have done?
How do you open up with millia at the start of the match? I keep getting smash and cant find a safe way in.
>>322113017
Beyond not getting hit and guessing right on the throw mixup, no.
>>322113135
Double Air Dashes and Mixups. You're being too obvious with what you're doing, gotta mix it up for lack of a better pun or whatever.
>>322113176
>guessing right on the throw mixup, no.
Kinda curious about this part. Would mashing punch or reversal double head morbid or teleport have worked?
>>322112828
The fucking smug walk he does sells it
>>322113401
Double head morbid is not a reversal. Mashing punch would have prevented the throw but loses to any meaty. He could have FD jumped but he might have gotten air thrown. If this happens to you, you should not be thinking about what you should do in the corner at 20% health, you should be thinking about how not to get in the situation next time (don't get counterhit 6ped by Slayer or counterhit 2s into drill by Zato)
>>322113401
Yes but you don't want to get caught mashing anything against Slayer because counterhit usually leads to, well, what you saw in the webm.

>>322114915
Watch FAB and copy what he does.
>>322115013
Me too. But it has to be him.
>>322115095
I'd attempt to help but I never really bothered with Potemkin, I tried him out years ago on Accel, but I'd imagine he's vastly different now.
>>322114915
Play with everyone else and then try to counter them specifically, or just give up.
I mean, even if you learn how to do that massive damage of his, you need to actually hit each and everybody on the game first. Which they won't let you.
>>322115013
>>322114915
Learn how to block and master buster inputs.
Guess what two things I'm garbage at?
>>322114915

Just started playing yesterday actually, never got into fighting games but something about Guilty Gear attracts me. Been trying to use Zato, though I was a little disappointed when he wasn't as smug as his select screen art implied.
As a complete scrub to figthing games in general, should I just learn the basics and jump right into online, or git gud at bots first?
>>322115013
>I'm so sorry
I don't think people understand how much of a scrub killer Potemkin is. Considering how many people in these threads are still ass picking up Pot means you get alot of free wins.
Pot only becomes hard at a upper mid level of play. And even then it kinda depends purely on the MU like if its Zato Sin or Faust it sucks ass but its not like Sol Pot is bad at all.
I've been playing nothing but Ramlethal
Is she good at top level? what you think about her
>>322115472
Go to challenge/mission mode and learn some basic mixups and tactics.
>>322115521
This is why I don't play grapplers with real friends. Grapplers are all scrub killers in the most disheartening way. and if against anyone good, you feel fucking helpless.
>>322102359
>Wii version of GG games
Are those ports any good?
>>322115440
Buster is the last thing you master. Theres no need to fear backdash or jump back faultless if you know the pot cant convert hits to corner carry and dmg. If you watch a good pot, they have combos and do hammerfalls into mixups that make you block. Its when they know they have to block that the fear of the buster comes into play. If all you got is a prayer your random jump in or tick throws work, youll never condition them to block.
>>322115745
I wouldn't say helpless. I play against a decent Zato often and when i pick my Potemkin its a hard as fuck matchup but once you get in you can do shit.
People really underestimate how hard it is to lock someone decent down in GG completely. Honestly outside of top level play id say Axl Pot is harder then any other MU because its the most likely one you'll face someone who can zone you properly in. And even that isn't impossible at all.
Grapplers are very mindset specific against good people though. You have to be ready to accept that you're going to get hit well getting it sometimes. And as easy as that sounds in reality it really isn't easy to get used to.
>>322115472
Im not good but id reccomend doing challenges especially the later ones. Gives you an ideo of what kind of combos zato likes to do and do missions and also pay attention to tutorial. Play online and learn from mistake. For me when I played online id not know how to poke so went to challenges and looked for slash to heavy slash pokes to give me an idea. Also dont try to do crazy stuff. Start simple with what the tutorial teaches you and build from there
>>322115095
Some Pot things off top of my head:
Canceling normals into Hammerfall break and continuing pressure / bustering at unexpected times is important.
Instant blocking, being good at inputting buster fast and knowing when you can buster on defense is important.
Backdash is godlike, use it.
Learn some easy 6k loops, f.ex. against Sol something into 2D -> RC -> 6K -> HFB-> 6K -> trishula -> 6K -> trishula -> heat extend is simple and deals shitload of damage.
Also learn to combo meterless in corner from buster, you gotta take that damage whenever you can.
5D has ridiculous range, use it in strings if your opponent can't block it. After ICPM ender, you can do the bullshit trishula YRC oki

>HFB
what's that?
>>322116382
hammerfall break
input HS and P at the same time for fastest cancel
>>322116382
Hammerfall Break. The P follow up for [4]6HS. It cancels the dash in a move that doesn't hit. Something like a feint. In order to do it inmediately press HS and P at the same time.
>>322116078
>Canceling normals into Hammerfall break
how do you guys input this I cant buffer the charge long enough to execute hammerfall break
>>322116689
>input HS and P at the same time for fastest cancel
FUCK
>>322116689
I was wondering. I'm capable of pulling off 6k loops, but not online due to the 2-3f delay.
Due to using a pad, I cant actually use p and HS at the same time due to pad lay-out. Would it be wiser to use some controller input mapper even though the game already supports my controller, or just keep on using the P S shortcut instead? The second shortcut kinda works but causes me to YRC if I press it at the same time as HS.
>>322116885
immediately start holding back after you input 6K
just practice
>>322116885
Pot's charge time is only 30 frames, you'll have plenty of time to charge during something like 2P -> 2S blockstring.
At first it can be tricky to cancel the hammerfall late enough that you get to buster range after longer strings, but it will click after a while
>>322116885
Most normals can be inputted holding back so yoou are already charging (1S instead of 2S, for example). For normals that require you to hold 6 you have to start charging as soon as possible and you will have enough time to get all the charge needed as in this (>>322117058) case.
>>322111005
I think it has to do with them being known as "valentines" they don't exactly follow human genetics if they're not human. at least that's what I picked up from it
>>322117451
adding to this, you can buffer 6K in some cases, like if you do 2S -> 6K or RC -> 6K you can actually start charging before 6K even comes out
>>322116951
Anyone?

The delay affects reactions and thats about it. Youll eat more millia overheads or other shit. Its not making you drop combos. Thats being shit causing that.

why can't i get a juggle off 4K? is it the prior string spacing / timing that matters rather than the juggle afterwards? they are like hitting the floor before i recover and can input PPP / etc, so even watching the sample i don't know how to fix this.

>>322125958
I was discussing her thighs not your shit taste and faggotry
>>322125871
It has something to do with how quickly you dash after your IAD combo to land the 5K>4K juggle into PPP. I still haven't landed it yet and it frustrates me that I still can't get it. The IAD used to be a problem with me but not anymore.
>>322125958
That's, like, your opinion, man.
>>322126096
This game needs more dash cancels. Do any characters even utilize it much?
>>322126296
Ram has some.
>>322126296
This game has a shitload of dash canceling. Not all of it is in combos but if you can't dash cancel Slayer's bite/dandy step you're basically playing half a character. Not as much as Blazblue but why would you want more of it?

>>322128089
Sol, El, Ky, and Sin are good starters but if you really wanna jump in then take up Potemkin
>>322128089
Sol, Ky, Sin, and Faust are the best starting characters.
>>322128089
Either Sol or Ky, if anything. Ky sort of does everything with good pressure and zoning/neutral tools and Sol is a bit more rushdown flavoured.
Don't believe the Elphelt meme.

That happens to me too in the case that i am trying to utilize a new move/combo and trying to figure out spacing to hitconfirm into it etc. but its reasonable and i get why
>>322128089
play leo. push kick, slash, hard slash rekka. then mash the shit out of buttons and random dashes in stance. welcome to the unga zone.
So what happened to Bridget, /v/?

>can barely do raw TK Axl bomber consistently
>trying to learn bomber loops
I work too many hours to have much lab time. Should I just give up and start maining Ky? Who else has minimal execution requirements?
>>322128010
How do you do that? That looks fucking cool
>>322128942
take a break and come back to it at a later time. I used to have alot of problems with IAD so I practice it for like 30 minutes a day till I got bored with it but a week later I finally got IAD down! You can't force yourself to get it in 1 go let alone a day. Gotta practice the input on a consistent basis.
>>322128942
Ky is pretty fucking easy. Easy confirms, anyone can do vapor thrust loops. Leo's pretty up there, too.
>>322128942
if you're the axl that played against the chippvand pot the other day i think you should work more on reversals/wakeup options.
>>322101990
I started playing about a month ago, and I know people say its hard as fuck to learn, but I've picked up how to do dive loops with i no. It took me like a month to learn how to do FADCs in SF4, and even longer to do basic combos. In GG I can most of the combos in an hour of practice. I swear to god I'm never going back to rhythmic fighters again. Theyre so fucking un-intuitive.
>>322128942
just do his basic air juggle. its not worth the effort to do tk bombers. you arent losing much dmg at all just doing j.k dj.hs dj.d dj.bomber. more consistent, guaranteed not to drop and still has corner carry and solid dmg. you aint going pro and as you say ,you dont have time to learn.
>>322129448
This, stay away from fancy character specific dustloop shit.
>>322129361
What's actually the hardest in a game like GG is neutral game.
How you use your options to open up opponents, block, guesses etc.
>>322128089
if you wanted to follow the "play Ryu" type of advice, play anyone that uses pretty basic Gatling / chain logic (PKSHD), since that will teach you most all of the game systems that work for pretty much everyone. There's a few characters with their own thing outside of that, like Ram not having P/K ground Gatling, and instead having 3d-fighter type P/K animation strings. Also bare in mind there's also a few groups of air control and dashes. Some people can double air dash, some can double jump or airdash once, etc.
Honestly it's a little like learning KoF. There's tons of fundamentals that all work in some manner on nearly every character and you can therefor approach the basics the same way with nearly everyone. PKSH[special move] is an almost universal day 1 combo.
Those "technicalities" you mention are where every character becomes unique, though. Because breaking out from just mashing Gatling and actually DOING COOL THINGS is what defines each character, which is why I feel like KoF is a good comparison; KoF has a huge roster but the game has universal rules that work on nearly everyone. Learning a character is then about learning how they personally get to break those rules. Xrd is the same, you should learn a character by first learning the game systems with whoever seems cool to you, play a few, see how they differ. Then you can easily identify on a specific character, the best air normals for various reasons, the best spacing buttons, the best meaty dash-in buttons (close.S in Xrd is usually designed to be a really good button here), AA, etc.
>>322129361
Execution seems pretty easy in Xrd for the most part. The challenge for me has been learning the neutral and incorporating core mechanics like blitz.

That's what magical fantasy settings are for, just get him some sort of spell/curse that keeps him looking like a flatchested woman (barring the junk downstairs)
>>322129874
Ive found thats the reason to play strong players. They force you to use techniques like blitz and dead angle, not just because of relentless offense but because they will use them against you, reminding you of those techniques while also showing you possible holes in your offense
>>322129672
Yeah I could see that. I am playing a character with a very strong neutral too so that probably why I haven't really had to adjust for that either.
How I can get gut playing Elphelt online? I have hard time against everyone, especially Sol.

just whip out the shotgun and go to town

The difference between a basic bitch and an Elph player is weapons.

Are you east coast?
>>322127809
Thanks anon.
>>322131993
>dat everything
>game crashed
damn it ASW. GGs to the I-no player. I hope the patch comes out soon
>>322127032
Anyone on East Coast up for a PSN lobby?
>>322133496
GG, Ram is scary once she puts you into the corner. I was pretty much mindfucked.
>>322133717
That's why a lot of people try to save burst against her. Once she gets you in a corner you're pretty much done unless she fucks up.
>>322133717
Yeah that is where she truly shines. Not very much Ram players to play with so it'll be hard to fight against her. Keep up the work with I-no anon.
When does ASW usually announce/show new characters for console? Isnt Revelator supposed to be around March? Shouldnt we see some Dizzy/Raven/Tuner/whoever they are putting in? I feel like Capcom does a way better job with introducing and building hype with character reveals. Wish ASW did more with the hype. Feels like they just dump a few shots to famitsu and then you maybe see a vid week before release.

First chance for this was Dec 26, APM D-1 Festival. Didn't happen.
Second chance was yesterday, the ArcSys Company Tournament. Didn't happen.
I really don't know when they'll announce anymore. I won't be surprised though if it will happen on mid-January.
>>322134591
What was last night tournament all about? Was it just arcsys employees playing the games like scrubs?
>>322134591
There's another tournament the 20th of January I think. Did they really not announce anything yesterday?
>>322134732
More like ArcSys employees murdering other game companies employees.
>>322135074
Nope. If there was it will have been all around Twitter and shit.
>>322135074
lame as shit. can't believe they promoted that shit during D-1
>>322134989
