I think younger players are expected to win in most esports and it's pretty sick that people like Knee, Daigo, and Tokido can still be relevant at such stacked tournaments.
Since newer fighting games are way easier it's way easier for people to show up out of nowhere and wreck stuff. The barrier for execution isn't really there anymore so it's a lot harder for old players to gatekeep soully based on that.
I think something kind of more specific to fighting games than say... Idk shooters, is that fighting games in general but especially certain games have a lot of legacy knowledge. People can catch up in the internet age. Execution is a thing, but fighting games are more mental. Shooting games and similar genres are a lot more about split second reaction times where age matters a lot more.
No matter how much of a better player you are in strive, it doesnt matter unfortunately. I dont care what anybody says or think, i am the best at this game by FAR. No one comes even close. Screw the mirror match and rps and gl to everyone in top 8. Peace.
That "Happy Chaos is a piece of shit" was so passionate. I watched this whole video while remembering all the shit Jiyuna talked about HC back when he was released. My apologies to Slash for his suffering but dang i got a good laugh
i may have suffered by the gun. i have tried my best to block everything and yet. GUN > ANCHOR buff may beachball!!! and also thank you jiyuna for this video it made me laugh alot haha 😂❤
I feel like every couple years some old washed up pro gamer starts to complain about old age, when the science pretty much says that reaction time isn't taking a big hit in your 30s at all, its all about dedication and focus. You got 80 year old pianists with fingers faster than any fighting game player and the average age of fighter pilots is 45. The kids are better than you because their mom makes them meals while they play GG all day.
Those 80 year old pianists are actually only so good because they know the pieces so instinctively that reaction time doesn't even factor in to the performance. There's nothing to react to when when nothing is new. Similarly, there are certainly some situations in esports where reaction time becomes the limiting factor of one's gameplay, but usually that's because they didn't practice enough, or lost an rng/rps situation. So, while the theoretical best possible player might have an unthinkably fast reaction time, their skills would be so great that their reaction time could be as slow as a centenarian's and they would still dominate.
kids are just cracked man there’s a new generation of gamers who are getting comfortable competing, it’s a new game, can’t expect to win just cause you used to play the old guilty gear, if you don’t play strive you won’t win
@@dev_ilmoon except it doesn’t. These young people winning are still grinding nonstop, they just grind the current game in an era where learning is far, far, far easier than it was just 10 years ago, let alone 20-30 years ago. Players like Daigo, Tokido and Sako prove that you can hold your own as an old player as long as you actually put in the work and adapt to the times
@@diangelo786 that's what i'm saying. when you're older you can't just grind non-stop. i'm confident that if older players had the time to grind they would probably come out on top.
Also, Jiyuna, respect for the acknowledgement of the benefits of netplay tournaments. I'm not even close to being a competitor but I started more actively following FGC tournaments because Netplay tournaments became more standardized thanks to the pandemic and it really bewildered me that so many people seemed to vehemently against the benefits of them. If Street Fighter 6's online is anywhere near as good as Strive's, then i think we're also going to be instore for a changing landscape of top players.
This is a huge deal, the FGC has had an issue with bringing in younger players over other esports titles for a long time, Strive (and DBFZ, though that was a while ago now) have helped that immensely.
umisho's execution throughout the entire top 8 was incredible, nearly perfect levels of current Happy Chaos play. that being said, HC needs a few more tweaks for sure. character is disgustingly good right now.
I've said this before but I'll say it again. HC is the reason elphelt should not be in strive. If she joined she would inevitably become HC 2.0 if they don't do a MAJOR design change which is not gonna happen.
Hey Jiyuna, I'm sure you already know this but SamSho 2019 is getting rollback update in the spring. I'm hoping it will revitalize the game's community overall finally since a lot of people essentially never got to the play the game for very long and it's a totally different game now. I remember your vids around it's initial release, you seemed to enjoy it so just figured I'd mention it.
I am largely the same on playstyles I like to see. Over in BBCF, I like to see stuff with all those crazy characters throwing things all over the place and Azrael just swinging in like a gorilla. It's nice to see some clever plays, but sometimes I like to see people realizing they can't out-think the unga bunga.
Mad respect to Slash for holding up that well and taking it to game 5 against the strongest and most versatile HC player with one of the chars that has the worst defensive options meterless. My brain would be a puddle of shampoo if i had to deal with that endless pressure/mixups since round 1.
Sometimes I wish I spent my adderall fueled high school days playing fighting games rather than band, I don’t even know what game it would’ve been cause SF4 wasn’t out yet.
I really don’t understand how people can play the same game everyday, especially fighting games which pretty much always require concentration and effort, I bought strive day one and I’m not far from only 200 hours, I’ve got like 5 games in rotation at least, pros yeah I get it but everyone else I don’t get it
true words man, used to grind SF4 like crazy in my 20s, but since then i stopped playing, im in my 30s, strive comes out, first amazing fg in a decade and im so weighted by family man responsibilities ill never catch up with the kids, such is life!
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI everybody complains about games most times people only want their characters OP and others mediocre this patch actually is the best balance I never understood even when I tried to ask for help no one would so the ones that wanted to improve did and now people say the game is for kids but at first it wasn’t lol
Happy Chaos was one of the reasons I stopped playing Strive around the time Baiken was going to be released. I got into Strive because I thought it wouldn't be as broken and crazy wild as REV 2 or AC+R. And at first it was... but with every added character the game became more and more like the old games, just with added damage and easier crush counters.
Happy Chaos I can understand but who else comes even remotely close to AC+R Zappa or REV 2 Elphet, and no I'm not trying to be a smartass or take value from what your saying just genuinely curious
@@countchocula1250 I was looking forward to a more grounded/neutral/footsies, less shit on the screen (Jack-O, Happy Chaos), less teleporting (Now we have Testament) and zic zacing in the air Guilty Gear game (Like +R Bridget oh look who's back!, We already had to deal with the bs of Millia) with less RPS all over the place. But with every new character and every new update the game just became more and more like older GG games to me, as I said, just with added damage, crush counters and also that wall break. This doesn't mean every character I mention is on Happy Chaos level, just shit I was hoping to avoid in this new GG game. At this point I might as well just go back and play +R. And Arcsys might as well just add Zappa and Justice in GG STRIVE. But instead I went back to grinding SFV in hopes that SF6 will be more to my liking. Maybe I'll pick up Strive again on PC when on sale just for the entertainment value, but not to grind my skill level at the game.
@@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen completely understand, I guess it can be really annoying for strive players who are new and wanted less bullshit to deal with however I will say that it feels a lot more tolerable since testament actually has to commit to something and Bridget essentially has an air dash with more steps( I know I'm simplifying it ) also she can't straight up camp/stall like in +R. Anyway imma let you go but know I genuinely did enjoy hearing what you had to say and sorry strive isn't exactly my going in the direction you would have liked, best of luck to whatever game you play.
I think the intention was to start with a simpler base and slowly build their way back to a more complex and (compared to vanilla strive) insane GG experience
That's a small comfort, knowing I'm not the only one annoyed with HC in Strive. The character definitely needs to be nerfed off his pedestal. Maybe decrease the amount of stun from his shots so that people can actually get in on him, lower his bullet damage a bit so that it's more difficult for him to take you out from full screen, decrease the intensity of his curse effects, increase the time it takes for him to reload his concentration gauge and bullet counter? I don't know, I'm completely illiterate on game design at a technical level as well as competitive game balance, but those might be some good starts
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI I'm just a lowly Ky player, man, I just wanna have fair fights, throw lightning bolts, and have an even exchange of offense and defense between each player. Chaos just puts everyone on the back foot from the word go, watching the Strive top 8 showed me that.
Excellent content as always but can let's discuss you playing the best sleeper hit Marvel track at the end. Omega Red theme from MSH VS SF is top tier.
Xrd was way more fun.you could do cool combos that didn't take 50 meter to do, you actually got blown up spamming 6p in neutral, the IADS were actually instant,it had instant kills like all the previous games before it. The point of a sequel is to be better than previous title yet it can be argued that strive is worse than xrd.
Its a shame that it was dead when I tried to get into it. And now that strive is out its graphics look like ass in comparison. Maybe people will actually play the game when it gets rollback. Hopefully.
Who was that player that had his mom cheering on a Strive tournament? Anyways i'm too old for Strive so i'm playing Multiversus now that has good old Bugs Bunny and Tom &Jerry in there 🧓✌️
That's why being single, without a normal range of hobbies and without common professional skills are an important factor to go very far in this career. You have to be fully focused.
@@carlosaugusto9821 which in itself, may not necessarily be the smartest decision. There’s a reason why there aren’t fgc people solely living off the games. As good as it is to be competitive, there’s also more to life than, put bluntly, is just a game. Probably will change one day but still, I believe anyone should focus on their own life then just the game. I mean, you hear it many from time to time when a professional racer or something takes a break (even if involuntarily) and that moment of being a person and not a competition machine is needed. Unfortunately, unlike physical sports, fgc doesn’t necessarily require you to be healthy or in tip top condition to play, which is why currently, I don’t want it to be something like a job such as football (or part time job like rugby is for many professionals).
@@pian-0g445 hbox making that stupid decision to quit his engineering career job to focus on winning tournaments. covid happened so he cant make that money, but he did start making more content for his youtube stuff, so I guess he got lucky.
Who gives af if old players cant win or not, shit like this happens in actual fucking sports,theres always going to be someone that'll show t You up, just be happy that a small community like the fgc is still running
Congrats on the 8 years and the more to come! I will forever get my gaming news at ANIMEILLUMINATI as we should communicate on every survey. PS: please tell Daisuke to tone HC down a bit. You are the only influencer he listens to!
First!!! 4:55 Guilty Gear Fact: Everytime someone is defeated the announcer yells " *Slash* ". Slash is a name of a musician. 10:40 Mad Grimy mixup. 10:50 Damn the disrespect. I just notice Happy's has a T-Shirt is that a mod?
What would Slayer feel like in Strive? -Will he be nerfed ? (Given a new mechanic?) -Or stay the same with less moves? (Oh he'll be friends Nago and Happy).
Younger players in fighting games are expected to win. But older players should be passing down fighting game wisdom to help the younger players grow further.
Like Mechanically? Sure I agree. My old ass has had more fun playing Virtua Fighter 5FS with my 1 character with 200 moves, same with Tekken7 or MB, Uniel, Skullgirls. I want my characters to have so much stuff to do in order for me to be interested. And holy shit, they replaced so much guilty gear with street fighter with the current Anji, so Strive is dead to me atm. But the boomer establishment "who are these people" mentality is quite bigoted imo.
it's not like it was all HC in top 8. The game has several very strong high dmg chars, and anyone that's gonna go 'hc won, proof he's too strong' look at who got second. if it was a nago youd say it's proof nago is strong but its a may so it just doesn't mean anything? come onnn. (to be clear I don't play this game, I find the dmg too high and I don't love the strength of some characters. but it still bugs me when people take away from people that win. not saying jiyuna did that, I'm talking about theoretical people lol)
You don't understand that HC is fundamentally a broken fighting game character. He hits you multiple times from distance even if he wiffs lol, it's like fighting against two characters but one is invisible, invincible, and always close enough to hit you while you try hit the normal character
i think its sad that a bunch of one year players made it to top 8. Thats how u know the game is easy. I wanted to see some veteran players in top 8 and was super disappointed. just my opinion.
@@Spider-ManFGC well really, it up to them to be up there. Saying a game is easy which is why new players are there isn’t much of an explanation for why experienced players can’t get up there. It might just literally be because the game is so different from the older titles that they can’t perform as well. Who knows.
This is the worst comment section I’ve read in a while. It’s a bunch of “boomers” and “intellectuals” complaining about game they don’t even play. I’m not gonna lie and say that strive doesn’t have problems like damage and hc, but goddamn people are so doomer over this game and how it’s not “guilty gear” and it has no uniqueness. I guarantee most of these people don’t or can’t even do the shit they are crying about. Simple doesn’t mean bad. The game still has lots of nuance. Not to mention it’s bringing lots of fresh eyes into the fgc. If you are mad about newcomers doing well, grow up honestly. Honestly the negativity is very disheartening
It’s illegal for younger players to begood at something. They should all be bad and the only people allowed to be good at games are the entire lineup of Evo 2002
What game Obama ever win? If you put guns in most people hands and tell them shoot to win a war they'd still loose. Simplicity doesn't mean exclusive to kids. Easy games expose how many people do know meta
Not at all, SF4 played a lot like SF2 aka q return to form, strive is 100% *NOT* that, Strive is more like the KOF13 where it looks really nice and a lot of the new players like it, but most of the people who played KOF before 12 and 13 didn't really like it because it didn't have the same feeling as the games prior (and even after)
@@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034 I disagree, I hated sf4 because it felt nothing like sf2. Wake up shoryu FADC and focus attack in neutral ruined it for me till they fixed it in ultra like 4 yrs later.
@JustSRK see, what you gotta do in -SF4- hold on, a wakeup shoryu FADC is just a DP that got canceled. What you're supposed to do is FA the opponent - you gotta bait their FA with your own. And if you don't like that, best not even pick up SF6. Lol
Happy chaos is too fun to use. I hope he is busted forever. He needs some nerfs just to people complaign less. But I love this kind of break the rules character. Strive has already to many brainless super strong ones.
This game is for children who love anime crap ..Theses types a games will never be on the level of sf or mk or tekken ..It’s just a step above dnf ,Turn your brain off and mash.

I mean, you hear it many from time to time when a professional racer or something takes a break (even if involuntarily) and that moment of being a person and not a competition machine is needed.
Unfortunately, unlike physical sports, fgc doesn’t necessarily require you to be healthy or in tip top condition to play, which is why currently, I don’t want it to be something like a job such as football (or part time job like rugby is for many professionals).
just turn your children into players for you train them in your ways so they bring in the fighting game dough
@@pian-0g445 hbox making that stupid decision to quit his engineering career job to focus on winning tournaments. covid happened so he cant make that money, but he did start making more content for his youtube stuff, so I guess he got lucky.
Who gives af if old players cant win or not, shit like this happens in actual fucking sports,theres always going to be someone that'll show t
You up, just be happy that a small community like the fgc is still running
Try that shit on Tom Brady
Congrats on the 8 years and the more to come!
I will forever get my gaming news at ANIMEILLUMINATI as we should communicate on every survey.
PS: please tell Daisuke to tone HC down a bit. You are the only influencer he listens to!
Winter patch is coming apparently.
13:36 "Umisho CLEARLY, is the Happy Chaos...the time, the effort, the grind"
me: the hair, the jacket, the fingers
Umisho is godlike.
Whens the Hotashi vs Latif video? The bets thing was... unfortunate but that was the most hype GGS set of all time.
Already recorded, should be up soon.
slash is my hero
what slash did with may was actually godlike, was really hoping he would win
Man He's right Guilty Gears such a garbage diaper baby game, I'm going to play a man's game like Tek-Man
Your kids can play it too!
it shows just by looking at twitch chat kids spam the sht out of copypasta and emotes
I'm almost 40 and I spam copypasta in chat.
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI you are a man-child then
Jiyuna they cut you off from the archives, leff VS latif is lost to time, someone clip that before the zoomers forget
Cheers! 🍺
Happy chaos is the goat.
First!!!
4:55 Guilty Gear Fact:
Everytime someone is defeated the announcer yells " *Slash* ".
Slash is a name of a musician.
10:40 Mad Grimy mixup.
10:50 Damn the disrespect.
I just notice Happy's has a T-Shirt is that a mod?
What would Slayer feel like in Strive?
-Will he be nerfed ?
(Given a new mechanic?)
-Or stay the same with less moves?
(Oh he'll be friends Nago and Happy).
Oh Lord Daisuke please nerf Happy Chaos or banish him to the Backyard realm?
Also played the very kusoge HnK fighting game.Did a few combos.
Still it's really broken as hell.
T-Shirt is not a mod. A few characters' alternate costumes add additional details or pieces.
His t-shirt is his last dlc colour pack option
Younger players in fighting games are expected to win. But older players should be passing down fighting game wisdom to help the younger players grow further.
There’s nothing to pass down, barrier of entry is at a all time low. Legacy skill means nothing
@@user-fe5bm6ot8o true
@@user-fe5bm6ot8o was about to say. I don't think much legacy knowledge applies to Strive
Only thing they’re passing down is complaints.
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI yeah
baby game
Like Mechanically? Sure I agree. My old ass has had more fun playing Virtua Fighter 5FS with my 1 character with 200 moves, same with Tekken7 or MB, Uniel, Skullgirls. I want my characters to have so much stuff to do in order for me to be interested. And holy shit, they replaced so much guilty gear with street fighter with the current Anji, so Strive is dead to me atm. But the boomer establishment "who are these people" mentality is quite bigoted imo.
it's not like it was all HC in top 8. The game has several very strong high dmg chars, and anyone that's gonna go 'hc won, proof he's too strong' look at who got second. if it was a nago youd say it's proof nago is strong but its a may so it just doesn't mean anything? come onnn.
(to be clear I don't play this game, I find the dmg too high and I don't love the strength of some characters. but it still bugs me when people take away from people that win. not saying jiyuna did that, I'm talking about theoretical people lol)
Umisho is the first person to tell you HC is busted. Doesn't take anything away; you still need to be good to win with the character.
You don't understand that HC is fundamentally a broken fighting game character. He hits you multiple times from distance even if he wiffs lol, it's like fighting against two characters but one is invisible, invincible, and always close enough to hit you while you try hit the normal character
Honestly chaos is such a well written character that I can’t bring myself to dislike him in game
They should have kept him in Story mode!
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI and watch them bring in Elphelt instead 😏
i think its sad that a bunch of one year players made it to top 8. Thats how u know the game is easy. I wanted to see some veteran players in top 8 and was super disappointed. just my opinion.
It’s a new game.
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI you're right just would've been cool to see some legacy players.
@@Spider-ManFGC well really, it up to them to be up there. Saying a game is easy which is why new players are there isn’t much of an explanation for why experienced players can’t get up there. It might just literally be because the game is so different from the older titles that they can’t perform as well. Who knows.
@@pian-0g445 or they just dont enjoy the game
If the issue was that the game is too easy then the old heads would be destroying everyone because they’d have solved it already lmao
The strive zoomers washed away the boomers
This is the worst comment section I’ve read in a while. It’s a bunch of “boomers” and “intellectuals” complaining about game they don’t even play. I’m not gonna lie and say that strive doesn’t have problems like damage and hc, but goddamn people are so doomer over this game and how it’s not “guilty gear” and it has no uniqueness. I guarantee most of these people don’t or can’t even do the shit they are crying about.
Simple doesn’t mean bad. The game still has lots of nuance. Not to mention it’s bringing lots of fresh eyes into the fgc. If you are mad about newcomers doing well, grow up honestly. Honestly the negativity is very disheartening
It’s illegal for younger players to begood at something. They should all be bad and the only people allowed to be good at games are the entire lineup of Evo 2002
the wall break is what killed Strive for me. always loved the older GG games tho so I sometimes go back to those games with the boys
havent missed this game once since I dropped it. really wanted to like it, but the gameplay is ass, not to mention the damage output is stupid
Umisho played out of their mind, jokes about HC aside
oh you want legacy skill to matter? Boomers to win? Wrong game. Play Tekken.
Knee is Tekken Boomer God.
@@ANIMEILLUMINATI the way he played at EVO was phenomenal
not a single jp in top 8 :/
Only like 4 players went.
Damn right. Best damn kids game rn.
More melty!
There’s too many games to cover and play.
What game Obama ever win? If you put guns in most people hands and tell them shoot to win a war they'd still loose. Simplicity doesn't mean exclusive to kids. Easy games expose how many people do know meta
They/thems stay winning
actually glad this happens otherwise the fgc would die the fck out.
Yup, we need new players. Boomers need to understand this.
Poor slash
He still got 2nd at EVO. Something to be proud about.
We testing these kids for Adderall?
Strive is the Street Fighter IV of the GG series. And I love that!
Not at all, SF4 played a lot like SF2 aka q return to form, strive is 100% *NOT* that, Strive is more like the KOF13 where it looks really nice and a lot of the new players like it, but most of the people who played KOF before 12 and 13 didn't really like it because it didn't have the same feeling as the games prior (and even after)
@@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034
I disagree, I hated sf4 because it felt nothing like sf2. Wake up shoryu FADC and focus attack in neutral ruined it for me till they fixed it in ultra like 4 yrs later.
Lmao SFIV still was very much a legacy game. Strive is not
@JustSRK see, what you gotta do in -SF4- hold on, a wakeup shoryu FADC is just a DP that got canceled.
What you're supposed to do is FA the opponent - you gotta bait their FA with your own.
And if you don't like that, best not even pick up SF6. Lol
@@JustSRK0 dude they literally TOOK OUT moves from legacy characters to put it more in line with their SF2 counter parts.
Happy chaos is too fun to use. I hope he is busted forever. He needs some nerfs just to people complaign less. But I love this kind of break the rules character. Strive has already to many brainless super strong ones.
Strive is what it is but it still ain't Guilty Gear gawd dangit
I hate happy chaos
Yes.
By far the most disappointing EVO final
Sfv was simply too hype and strive was so late, everybody was tired
@@yeahboyz9314 Type Lumina was great and Granblue take a really good final too
Doomers op
Strive>melty
Fighting Game of the Year 2021
This game is for children who love anime crap ..Theses types a games will never be on the level of sf or mk or tekken ..It’s just a step above dnf ,Turn your brain off and mash.
