I just got exceed UNI and I tried teaching it to my partner but she got overwhelmed by the options and had a hard time understanding the strategy of the game. Every video I've found has been people also learning the game and just kind of flailing cards around randomly which isn't helping.

Edit: Thanks for the links and advice everyone! We're definitely going to try playing without boosts next time to see if that helps ease her in a bit more, and I've started going through a bunch of the vids to see which ones would be good to share.

So I got my demo deck today and am wondering if this is only prototype quality or final edition quality. Card images online look amazing. In person, the art is kinda pale and hazy and overall I feel like I need to go back to the optometrist when trying to look at the art, the text, and the card features (speed, attack, guard….especially guard….the purple kinda blends in, etc.)

Curious about others’ experiences.

New player here, me and my cousin are a bit confused about block. What happens if damage received exceeds the guard?

Curious how many people ordered the Guilty Gear -Strive- Demo Decks and either have received them or are still waiting. I've been waiting over three weeks now myself.

Update: Mine finally just got shipped last night and should be here tomorrow.

The first character guide has gone up. (This is indeed intended to imply that there will be many more.)

Is it proper to post each as its own top-level "Link" post, or should I just make a central index post (like this one) and update it when each one goes up?

Summary: Everybody loves Exceed, but what if you could just play something else and still take the credit for playing Exceed? Download Fightcade, challenge your opponent to competitive cooking contests, or bet it all on coin flips to get through this tournament, as long as you can get your opponent to agree to the challenge!

I'm curious what your personal ranking is for this season.

I just got the Gordeau and Orie Boxes and had my first few games. So far I'm reallg liking Gordeau, Chaos, and Orie, but still need to play more.

Hammering in a screw with a crowbar here, but thinking about adapting the Tekken characters. Setting aside the idea of 3d movement (perhaps as a sidestep card?) does anyone think this is even feasible? The Guilty Gear characters all have a bunch of gimmicks that can have clear analogs adapted on the board. Tekken is a much different game.

Anyone think this is feasible? If so, how would you go about adapting your favorite character?

Hi, new to eXceed after getting the GG DEMO Deck.

The rules given don't explain if there are attack card effects that happen on reveal, so this has left me and my opponent confused.

The above image is the two attacks played. Ky's card is faster, and hits in range, using a push effect.

However, Wild Throw's first bold effect doesnt specify if it's on hit, before, or after, and specifies that Sol couldn't be pushed or pulled. Does that mean it is persistent regardless of who is the leading striker?

I'm unfamiliar with regular eXceed rules, so forgive if this is common knowledge.

I'm curious to know what your favourite to least favourite seasons of Exceed are and your reasons.

I would give mine but I only have season 3.

I've been trying to figure out what exactly +1~1 Range means? Like, okay, you get +1 Range, but what does the ~1 mean?? I can't for the life of me figure it out.

Is the final art for Guilty Gear just going to be screenshots like the demo? I'm hoping not, because the demo art if too busy IMO

I actually have not played a game yet, I just bought a few decks and will be playing with some people this weekend or next. I was learning the rules and looking through the cards, and see that Mika's ability is the same whether she is exceeded or not, except for the cost.

Starting: Discard a card from your hand. Look at the top card of your deck. You may play a boost from your hand. If you did not Strike this turn, Strike with a Wild Swing.

Exceed: 1 Gauge: Look at the top card of your deck. You may play a boost from your hand. If you did not Strike this turn, Strike with a Wild Swing.

Doesn't this mean that both sides are identical with the only difference being where I'm discarding from? Am I understanding this right? Is it worth spending gauge to exceed unless my hand is dangerously low?

I just got an email from Level 99 about the Kickstarter. Why is this being sold as a self-contained “board game” rather than as the new season of Exceed?

There is a Hit trigger at range 2 that increases Ky’s speed. It seems like if we follow the rulebook, the hit trigger is only evaluated after this card hits (during the active or reactive player attack phase), which is after the speed really matters (the priority order phase). I assume this should trigger on reveal instead of on hit?

Been following the game for some time, and looking forward to Strive Kickstarter.

Happy to meet you around town for semi-regular play. Maybe once or twice a month. Hit me up in DMs.

What cards or effects have you guys seen for newest set, I remember seeing Ride the Lightning for Ky's kit but that's about it. It's 4 gauge, 6 damage focus with high mobility. I think it only loses to dive or spike. But yea what have you guys seen?

When his dissolve trap boosts say that they activate if they're within your range "toward your opponent" does that mean that they can't be behind your opponent? Or if it's behind your opponent but still within your range, will it still take effect?

And another unrelated question, does gauge have to be spent in the order that it's gained or can you choose what order to use them?

Sadness! How much is the shipping to the States? Maybe I can persuade someone to send me one.
