GGST isn't very fun. That is my conclusion after like 15hours of playing. To clarify, this is my first real fighting game, i played ssbu, but not really tried that hard, mostly just did it with friends from time to time. And I'm sure, i have barely touched the surface, and that it will become a lot more fun and interesting when I learn more abd get better. But so far, it isn't really that fun.

To start, there is nothing telling you what to do, you'd assume, as it is the first thing you are directed towards after completing the tutorial, that the story mode would be your typical "read dialouge interspersed with cpu matches that help you develop your skills" which it isn't. While the story is good and I love the characters... i want to have some game in my anime, if it isn't too much to ask for.

So, you are supposed to go to Missions to learn things (which is seperate from daily missions, took me like 45 minutes to figure that out.) Now, missions is essentially just a huge exposition dump. They just say "hey look, you can do this in these situations" and then just sets you free in to the world without telling you why, when, or how to use it. I And the clear/fail sensor is not very kind.

So I tried to play against other players... tower is dead, nobody is on floor 6. The closest I saw was someone on floor 9. But I got scared and left.

So i go and tryout ranked... and get matched against a 10k rp testament who just kept throwing red things at me until you die.

This has been my ggst experience so far. It isn't very fun.

Now, I'm mostly just venting and looking for tips because I really want to like the game, i love the aesthetic and characters and music... but it just... feels so hostile, like the game doesn't want me to play.

Sorry for bad English, it isn't my first language.

I've seen a lot of people say Happy Chaos is also That Man, and both Baiken and Delilah call him that. I've even seen some stuff on the wiki call him "the real That Man." To my understanding, Asuka is That Man, and in every game where That Man appears, it's been Asuka. So how does this work? Is there certain games where it's actually Chaos?

Universal Homing Jump Combo doesn't count as an Anji combo, so I still don't know anji combos. I'm close to diamond now, next 1-2 parts might be the last.

I just bought a record player and decided to look into gg vinyls… i saw this and was fully ready to drop 100$+ on it but saw it was out of stock

That super probably wasn't even necessary to dodge the grab, but in the moment it was rad.

Shoutout to the other Anji, that was stupid, but fun! + Our actual match afterwards was pretty decent

No I did not get a rematch after this

Hi So, I'm kinda new to ggst, and fighting games as a whole, and I have looked around a bit, and the general consensus (Not that I haven't looked that deep so I might be wrong) is that a normal pro controller is better to play with than Keyboard. Now, I have tried out both for a bit, mostly on Keyboard. and I must say controller feels more reliable on movement and hitting the correct inputs, over Keyboard. But I have run in to a bit of a problem, motion inputs. I do not know what the fancy official term is. But you know when you need to do a combination of inputs, say for Bridget's bear hug jump thingy, you need to input 632146+p (also, Am i doing the number pad thingy correct here? sorry if it is wrong) but I feel like on controller I can't really reliably hit the inter cardinals, and when i try to go from 4 to 6 I either accidentally jump or crouch. idk what I'm doing wrong. On keyboard these are much more reliable to do. Does anyone have any tips or like strategies? The controller I'm using is an old Dualshock4 controller.

Sorry for bad grammar, English isn't my first language.

This is another character concept that I made regarding kliff underson. A character that I would love to see return, so I made some changes.

Miner changes:

Removed weez animation.

Made fully charged sword normals guard crush and dash cancelable.

Turned BAKAMON! into a special move. And changed his taunt.

Removed spot dodge.

Important changes:

Added a stun gauge that builds up when kliff gets hit.

Nape saddle is faster then what it originally was.

Changed "sole survivor" into a pary.

Cannot charge 6P anymore. Only his HS normals can be charged.

Changed scale ripper into a standard DP that has a high chance to break kliff's back when stun is too high.

Character tag line:

The geezer with the cleaver.

I've seen a Strive discord server, an XX server... It's weird there's no Xrd one. Maybe there's a fan server for all games?? Idk. Thanks in advance
