Dude these longer videos are great. This one actually has me wanting to play Xrd again. I actually understand why I lost so many exchanges with him I thought I should have won now. "Beat the fish and hit me" spoke to me xD
Love the format, very fun and well-put-together video 💕 The fun sound cue and visual aids especially helped keep things flowing while still being easy to understand, thank you.
quality vid, your channel is one of the main things that convinced me to try xrd. now i like both strive and xrd and im convicing other people to try the same, cheers!
I had been feeling kind of burnt out and dissatisfied with fighting games in the last few months since I'd been playing so much SF6 and Xrd's lobbies suck, but watching this helped to rekindle the love I have for Xrd. Thanks.
@@LucidButtonMasher - Only a max of 8 players - If there are an odd number of players in the lobby, you'll be booted off the cabinet when someone else wants to join, making it feel like you're getting one-and-done'd - Player names and win/loss messages overlap continuously, making them impossible to read - Sending chat messages is a huge pain - Cabinets glitch out if someone tries to line up to play since he'll be spectating a match that no longer exists and will hold up the rotation (unless he joins too late, in which case he doesn't spectate???) - Lobbies still have memory leak issues if they're open too long (I think?), which wouldn't matter except for douches who make lobbies and go AFK for six hours It's the players more than anything, though. Most netplayers just flail around and never change their flowchart, which can be fun at first but quickly grows stale if you want to learn a matchup beyond two special moves. My experience in SF6 has been the opposite, though I am only in platinum so perhaps all the tryhards have filtered up to diamond/master. Discord matchmaking helps, but I despise Discord.
still kills me how Leo was almost unchanged inbetween xrd and strive, out of most characters in that game (still prefer him in xrd tho, just like the system mechanics in that game)
Xrd is more chaotic in training mode against cpu especially turn on force mortal counter, force danger time and full tension bar. Ai could combos off mortal counter. Yesterday played may and sol mirror match.
Maybe I'm on crack, but, I still think Leo's backturn stance should have it's dash properties reversed. Forward dash should be invul because it's like technically a backdash, because he is backwards you know?
Excellent video, excellent character The ArcSys (team red) battle planners really should pat themselves on the back for cooking up this design/playstyle A gorilla so annoying to fight against, *I* don't even know what to do against other Leos 😭 It's like a coming to jesus moment, I think to myself "is this what it feels like to block against this character?" 💀 Truly the only answer when confronted like this is to flash kick more 🦍🦍
Hey, big fan, monkey man. Never played xrd but I watch your videos and am planning to main slayer when he comes to strive. Will you be playing arrive a bit when he comes out? Also how do you think he’ll be changed simplified?
Yeah I'm most likely going to give him a go on strive. I'm thinking his teleport dash is going to be a command move instead of his actual dash to avoid back dash cancelling
Is it just me or does Xrd look absolutely impossible to read? I physically just can’t see what’s gaping on 90% of the time. All the moves look no less than frame 5 and instant (a lot like MK’s animation style) am I crazy? Maybe, but from my POV everything just looks like it’s instant and like it shouldn’t do what it do. -Signed; a strive player
Dude’s dressed like Leo Whiteclaw
I'm dead. Good shit
@@LucidButtonMasher i’m pretty sure I’ve heard that joke before somewhere else so I can’t take credit; good stuff as usual
Still got me cackling out in public
@@LucidButtonMashertime to prep the cosplay?
I was genuinely scared when leo whitefang popped out and started talking about himself
Leo jump scare
Leo making a video about himself is the most in-character thing ever.
Good to be the king of monkeys
2:37 bro i was genuinely tweaking irl when that whiffed i was like "wtf happened ?????" 😭
thankfully i had enough glue for a second buster
Lol funny throw invincible moves. Ggs bud
This video speaks to me. One of my first xrd matches was against the purest form of Leo. I’m convinced a zoo just gave an actual gorilla a fight stick
Hope it was a tasty fight stick
Finally, the ground-based bladesies Guilty Gear Xrd is known for
Ground based back turn k's Leo is known for
a half an hour video on a character I dont play, imma watch the whole thing
Hope it didn't disappoint
i just love how you just see leo's gameplay at xrd, thinks "hey maybe thats unga bunga enough" and damn, it is but isn't at the same time
Same thing only different
Gotta say that outfit rocks.
Many thanks friend i tried a little
Leo talking about Leo
If i could put the RDJ meme here i would
I love your dedication to this game, it makes me like it way more
That is the goal!
stop talking about Leo, WE HAVE SLAYER BACK‼️
Perfect

My poor dizzy friend lol. Glad to hear
Love the format, very fun and well-put-together video 💕
The fun sound cue and visual aids especially helped keep things flowing while still being easy to understand, thank you.
Hell yeah glad you enjoyed. The extra effort was worth it i see
Leo supremacy
He is obviously more superior than ky
Make a better king for sure
As an unlicensed Ky main, I agree
Love these , hope it’s been reaching the newer Strive audience. Everyone should enjoy xrd at some point in their life.
Big agree
I love seeing this videos and every time it does involve a dizzy absolutely dying. Great to see my favorite character get obliterated
Good thing that's who my friend plays
@@LucidButtonMasher universal constant is monkey noises and dizzy dying 😭
quality vid, your channel is one of the main things that convinced me to try xrd. now i like both strive and xrd and im convicing other people to try the same, cheers!
Mission accomplished, love to hear it
Hair and beard looking especially gnarly and luscious today!!!
Many thanks bud
i like this style of video a lot. thank you for the entertainment and information
Much appreciated! Hope you had fun and learned something!
leo whitefang
He sure is
considering strive, slayer has a non 0 chance of having a fireball
Very possible it's a bat projectile
I've played a lot of fighting games, and Leo remains one of my favorite characters ever
He's pretty neat
lucid wake up they just released the slayer trailer
Only just going to sleep don't worry

Why do xrd lobbies suck?

I'd love to see a Jam video in this style!
Sadly jam was JUST before i did the green screen style. Feel free to check it out in the mini mains playlist though
Yeees finally the Leo VIDEO YEEEES
Hope it was worth it
@@LucidButtonMasher It was more than that, I even learned a lot of things :)
Mission complete
so thiiiis is the video. ty man
You're very welcome
4:40 You were stayin in that corner for marginally more time whether you liked it or not, funny Gorilla man...
Also ggs!
I should have 6pd again. Ggs!
1:50
We got some Trails from Zero sound effects
& 21:50 with fateful confrontation from trails in the sky SC
Damn right
@@LucidButtonMasher always love to see more trails fans out in the wild
Bro Slayer is just announced for GGST LMAO
Perfect
Guess who is backk?
Damn justice?
absolutely amazing hair i respect it
Cool now pretend youre my grandpa and say it again
@@LucidButtonMasher kiddo you've got just about the nicest head of hair my eyes have ever seen
Just like the simulations
HELLFIRE 🔥🔥🔥 of a video
Many thanks friend
Damn, what is this, a video on Leo in XRD the day I begin to learn and main Leo in XRD? What kind of voodoo stuff did I do
The algorithm knew
slayer mains trying to find the downside of backturn(they are yet to try blocking):
Accidentally walked back instead of dash back. No block thank God
These just keep getting better I love it (Also Marionette Purple II SPOTTED.)
Also unrrlated but do you still play BBCF or nah?
Haven't played in a long time but listening to the ost makes me think of getting back into it. Real fun game
@@LucidButtonMasher I love spreading CF propaganda. Genuenly my favourite game I love it to death
I wish i had more friends who play since it is a huge game with a whole bunch of characters to learn
@@LucidButtonMasher Entirely fair. If you want we can run a few sets sometime!
Discord and ask for games there always works too
Ah yes, the character to which I have a single strategy when fighting against it: Just do not get hit. (Spoiler it doesn't work)
Yeah i get opened up by him regardless
@@LucidButtonMasher as a Baiken main, I'm kinda angi about the fact he has a better counter
To be fair you have more options out of it and can use it even during block
@@LucidButtonMasher wait, in Xrd too?
Yeah I'm talking about xrd not strive. Plus r she can only do it from guard i think
I think I’ve found my main finally
Enjoy. He's a blast
literally my two most played characters, I've been exposed
They're real fun to play so I don't blame you
Instructions unclear, heard "backturned" and started playing Xiaoyu instead.
Honestly a very apt comparison
Looks cool
Hope it came off cool
still kills me how Leo was almost unchanged inbetween xrd and strive, out of most characters in that game
(still prefer him in xrd tho, just like the system mechanics in that game)
Big agree
1:31 unfortunate tragedy to see bubblegum booty shaking crisis leaving the room mid clip.
LMAO saw that in the edit and laughed
risk of rain 2 mention we are so back
Always have been
10:57 " DWYANE WADE, PASSING TO LEBRON...
OOOOOOOOOOHHMMMYYYYYYGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
OH MY
Cosplay channel of all time
Sure is
L̶U̶C̶I̶D̶ LEO IS REAAAALLLLL
Hell i try to be
"Yes, it's Chipp."
Heh, Chipp damage.
Funny character damage
the unga toturial i waiting for, is strange i main ram and leo in xrd.
2 sides of a fun coin
They made that character.
They sure did
Xrd is more chaotic in training mode against cpu especially turn on force mortal counter, force danger time and full tension bar. Ai could combos off mortal counter. Yesterday played may and sol mirror match.
Ai is wild
Leo badass fang
He's pretty cool i agree
Yooo risk of rain gaming !! Excited for SotS ?
I've been waiting for forever but hell. I've been playing crab champions in the meantime, big recommend
can you make this a series for other characters
Already am. Did one on axl before. Pot is being worked on
@@LucidButtonMasher awesome, I love your channel btw, keep up the good work
Many thanks, enjoy
I missed Leo here.
In xrd?
@@LucidButtonMasher yes. Strive Leo aint feel the same
The command grab made it weird
@@LucidButtonMasher and no DRIFT
Dude do awnser like this
He'll have to be on the poll!
Well at least it's not Sol :O
:P
He was done first it's cool
why is leo's theme called "hellfire" and not "it's not over yet"
It's the offense version where as it's not over yet is defense
Maybe I'm on crack, but, I still think Leo's backturn stance should have it's dash properties reversed. Forward dash should be invul because it's like technically a backdash, because he is backwards you know?
This is the damage drugs can do
TWO WARS??
Been waiting for this comment
Excellent video, excellent character
The ArcSys (team red) battle planners really should pat themselves on the back for cooking up this design/playstyle
A gorilla so annoying to fight against, *I* don't even know what to do against other Leos 😭
It's like a coming to jesus moment, I think to myself "is this what it feels like to block against this character?" 💀
Truly the only answer when confronted like this is to flash kick more
🦍🦍
Many thanks! And yeah playing against your own character is definitely tough
Dizzy video WHEN? (Please, I love Dizzy)
All based on what the people want so you never know
@@LucidButtonMasher ok, fair
I'll put it on the poll!
@@LucidButtonMasher woo! Thanks!
and there it is! GGs!
I do hate Leo in all Guilty Gear iterations!
Damn what he do to deserve it
until he plays baiken
Uh oh i could

Strive moves are just as fast. Chips 5p is the same between both games for reference. There's just no slow down on counter besides extra hitstop
@@LucidButtonMasher Just the look of Xrd makes it feel so much faster
