Guilty Gear Strive

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
So I recently got a hitbox and I gotta say might be just bias but I feel I can never go back to stick/controller after this. I had made the move to keyboard last year but wanted the the arcade button feel back. I even play some Accent Core with some buddies with it and it felt fantastic.
Strive was the first game I tried using a hitbox in and they're so good it feels like cheating. I switched because I can't use joysticks anymore without hand pain, and I had a series of a few months where my 35 year old ass was hitting celestial vip first day every month and playing the best people who were willing to play online and doing OK, and usually making it three or four rounds into pools in the online tournaments.

Hitboxes seem better but I'm a pad baby. I tried keyboard because I heard it's better for playing charge characters in SFV but doing motions without a stick or pad turns my brain to jelly.

Keyboard is basically a Hitbox but the layout of a Hitbox is a bit better.
 
Slightly off topic, but since Blazblue got rollback all the cheap places sold out of keys. I'm salty as fuck.
I'm honestly surprised that it didn't shoot up in price faster, I felt like I got one super late for pretty cheap.
At least there's the GG/BB Steam sale going on right now, and you can get it for an alright price still.

I'm at a middle point where I'm interested in playing but not interested in paying. I can wait until it's just a few shekels.
 
Replayed Guilty Gear 1 and holy shit the story hits harder when you played the later games and the music as always is on point.


"He then made a grave and stared at his bloodstained hands and prayed...for the first time since he was turned into a Gear...prayed for the soul of the grotesque sacrifice lying at his feet to rest in peace."

A lot of people give this story shit but god damn when it has these moments where the dialogue and music hit your soul.

Well, I guess this was inevitable for either Testament or Bridget. Unless Daisuke's got plans for Bridget too.
 
Im calling western tomfoolery here. Testament has always been a dude and I'd be interested to see if the Japanese uses gender neutral language too
The JP VA is a female, so we'll find out.

FGC has been dead to me for a long time though. This is just me spitting on the grave at this point.

Japan casts a well-known VA with a range of roles varying from boys, women, tomboys, and twinks...


...and America casts some literal who tranny who solely voices dudes.

When the fuck are westerners going to understand that the appeal of androgynous characters is actual androgyny? Nobody wants traps that give themselves away at the sound of their voice.

I prefer the REAL Guilty Gear English dub
 
Testament looks fun though. I was enjoying Baiken a lot too. Season 2 was of course announced so I wonder who remains if they wasted the Baiken card already too.
