Hey! Let me know what you want to learn about the most, so that I can know what to spend the most time on for future videos! We all have a lot to learn and I can't wait to start improving with you all.
Id like to know more about offensive pressure in this game. Since the blockstrings are pretty short compared to something like DBFZ
Im so happy to see you playing zato🔥🔥 pls do a zato guide🙏
I'd love to learn more about the movement options in this game. Like in the neutral, when pressured and when delivering pressure
Can you do a RC 101? Can't wait for the PC version to release so I can start to learn with your guides :)
You're playing Zato?? would love to have a guide on him
I like how the "futuristic" samurai is technically a century behind in the guilty gear lore.
I bought this as my first fighting game solely based off the fact that the equivalent of Ness Pk Fire pissing off the entire community is a little girl on a dolphin.
That is where my UA-cam recommendations started. A “stop posting about *totsudeki*”
*Super Japanesse young adult on a dolphin

Thank freaking god I found a video that actually beginner friendly. Many a times have I found fighting games or guilty gear beginner guides that talk as if the begginers already know what all of the jargons they use mean, as if we're expected to know a single thing about fighting games even though some of those videos claim to be guides for complete beginners on fighting games. It is highly frustrating and discouraging to see those videos, but at least yours was different and informative.
Your video alone, was the only one that managed to excite me to learn about the game, and because of that, I actually look forward to getting the game! thank you, as you have given me the proper motivation to play this fantastic looking game!
Meaty fs safejump blockstring wake-up RC plus minus safe aaaaaargh wtf are they on abouuuuut
Guilty Gear Strive is the first GG that I ever played, and I have to say: Oh boy is this game hard to learn.
Most fighting games are (except mortal kombat) I recently started playing skullgirls and wow I'm great in mortal Komatsu but skullgirls? I get my ass beat even in storymode lol
It's true. Outside of rivals of aether, dragon ball and Smash bros 2D fighting games are usually so hard to play compared to shooters or racers for example. I remember trying blaze blue and struggling to do even a simple projectile or special attack. But this game kinda looks like a fun time even if u suck so I'm considering getting into it
Is it worth it ?
@@Uzi0celot hell yeah
It’s easier than street fighter imo
How can you tell us to not learn too much combos while you're styling on us with your Zato-1 in the background ? xD
Honestly, I think a basic guide for Sol and Ky is a must considering new players. But then I'd really love to see an Offense 101, Defense 101 and Neutral 101 like your DBFZ series, easily one of the best resources for learning DBFZ out there.
yes neutral and gameplan
SECOND!
Ll
I do these kind of fundamentals' oriented videos. Be sure to check them out.
Nah, new player here, instant Nagoryuki main
decided to pick up a "real" fighting game with guilty gear after playing smash for the last 10 years, and ooooh boy. I had played bits of kof here and there, but I'm actually trying to learn strive, and its kinda daunting, but I'm getting the hang of it, and I'm looking forward to getting better :)
Same here lad. Tho now that Sora is coming to Smash, definitely gonna continue playing it. Sora is my new main.
Still, Strive is so damn fun.
Tekken :)
@@mushi9766 doesn’t midkken have bad netcode ?
@@qxpn9220 no
@@qxpn9220 It's not great, but it's perfectly playable.
I’m a melee player who watched Leffen host a tournament for this and it looked so sick that I wanted to understand it better. This is the best explanation I’ve seen. Thank you!!
W fellow melee player
God bless you Rath, you were a lifesaver back in DBFZ and now in Strive. I really can’t exaggerate how valuable your content is for newcomers like me
Thank you for the kind words. I'm happy that these videos seem to be helping people out!
Loved your dbfz content, please keep making guides, tips and tricks about this game because I really want to learn and put more time in
I'm also coming from DBFZ(my first fighting game) and was so happy to see Rath will be making content for this game.
Unga bunga main character? I'm sold.
I wanted to get into fighting games and so I decided I wanted to learn GGST first. For the past couple months, since I bought the game, I've just been opening the game and doing random things like trying out all the characters a bunch of times over, but with no real progress. It just seemed daunting to learn, but after watching this video, I finally decided to dive in. Thanks mang
old comment, but same here
Thanks for the video, can’t wait for some future guides. Going from Tekken 7 to Guilty Gear is like learning a new language. All these terms like meatys, Roman cancelling, bursts, projectiles, tension, R.I.S.C, etc; it’s alot to take in.
@@MostlyLost totally different to tekken
@@MostlyLost for starters tekken is 3d fighter that alone is enough to say its not the same
@@MostlyLost Tekken is a lot slower and more methodical than GG. There's also the 3D aspect, which plays into the combat as well. Additionally, Tekken Characters tend to have 50+ moves each
Out of all the fg channels on youtube, this is by far the best when it comes to guide content. Your vids are super easy to follow and understand.
just ran into this video by chance, but i gotta say, this is an absolutely fantastic video. all your explanations and super clear, and your tips are super helpful, bringing up some really important fundamentals for beginners without overcomplicating it. im not a complete newbie to fighting games (i've been practicing a few of the things you mentioned already), but i still really appreciate the polish you put into this
This the type of content that got me as a new sub. Great material, just enough depth and structured in a logical way. Also your tone and pacing while talking is great, keep it up!!
Thank you for the awesome guide man! I've never invested a lot of time into a fighting game to get good. A couple of months ago I started with dbfz but got bored with learning combo after combo because I thought I needed that before playing matches. Thanks to your video I've learned that that is by far not the most important part which means getting one or two combos down is enough for the start. Also this game is a 1v1 which means less things I have to worry about when starting compared to dbfz. Thanks again for the video. Looking forward to guides on the rest of the game's mechanics that you didn't touch on here and some character specific guides.
I'm very new to gg, I'm gonna follow your guides in detail and reach heaven!
Thanks.
Awesome video! Not too simplified but also not too overly-detailed. Answered a lot of my questions.
Didn't even feel like I needed this guide, but love the way your videos are structured and carry such a chill vibe, had to watch it. Great fkkin work, can't wait for more STRIVE content from ya Rath
Rath never fails with the quality content
Some would probably consider the video too basic but I loved it. Only been watching Strive up until now and haven't understood the basic buttons used (dust, slash, etc) because I've never played it. PC soon!
I've been on the fence about buying this game because it looks so fucking cool, but I was a bit intimidated because my fighting game experience is mostly extensive Smash(melee and ultimate) and some incredibly casual Street Fighter. This guide made the game seem a bit less scary and I bit the bullet and bought the game.
How do you like it so far
@@thewanderingpnut1685 I've been really enjoying myself! I don't quite play everyday, but I fit in at least 30 minutes or so 4 days a week, I picked up the basic pretty quickly I'd say. The design of each character is what really stands out to me, with even the very basic Ky having cool stuff like Shock State to think about in a game, it just makes different MUs so dynamic. I love the Roman Cancel system which really gives space for players to get creative with their options. I've just really been having fun with it
"Guilty Gear Strive just came out"
Sad PC user noises...
Coming soon for pc
@@Aripuni1 30 minutes...
Not even a month later lol
I just got this game and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I gave this video a like when you mentioned learning about combos - what you said was both insightful and reasonable. Good video, cheers!
Needed this. Was planning on getting GG Strive soon love the content Rath🙌🏽
Great advice on the setting the dash mechanic for 1 button. As well was suggesting to use Dust button to engage the defensive options
Yooo strive is putting up huge player counts! I hope this game brings a new era to your channel, and many more subscribers!
WONDERFUL video, love your content man will be sure to share it around with my friends, thanks so much
I was interested in this game and was waiting for someone to tell me about it and explain things in a simple way. Your video convinced me to get it. Keep it up!
How has it been going
Yeah u liked the game?
Come for the well edited and explained videos, stay for the positive and wholesome Rath encouragement
Great vid as always!
You just earned a sub my friend I’ve been trying my best to grasp this game and most of my trouble is coming from combos not necessarily the inputs but more of what abilities to combo together
id love character guides that emphasize game plans / win conditions. Loved you DBFZ content so I really look forward to whatever you make for GG.
This music is great, I really feel comfortable just sitting here listening to you talk with this chill soft jazz in the background
I really gotta thank you for this Video. Not only for me but for the friends i was able to get to GG-S. You sum up the first steps one has got to learn very well.
Thank you!
dude this is a great video. you nailed it. I'd really love to get into strive but I haven't seriously played guilty gear since X2 back in 2005. This video helped me figure out where to start.
This is the first serious game I have bought and damn is it hard but thanks to you I feel like in time I will actually be able to play in a non casual way. Love the vid btw!
So this is a few years after you released this video, but your discussion over the gattling system was actually exactly what I needed. I was so confused as to how they connected or what to do, and it was only through this video that I finally realized how to chain together so many moves that I was simply never even realizing. Thank you so much, even if it is a bit late.
Good stuff man! I look forward to more content from you.
I would really love some in depth character specific guides. Or just a video with the general feel of each to help us pick a main or just the character we would put the most time in.
You got a new sub, man. Loved the pacing of the content!
Super cool to know about the super on wallbreak leading to a knockdown, thanks! Got a lot out of this even though ive been following the news for the past year.
Just Got this game Yesterday, I generally play Tekken 7 which is completely different than this style so trying to figure out not just combos but neutral in general as been a head scratcher since it locks you out of certain buttons which i wasn't expecting. Thanks for this rundown though very very helpful and I'm for sure going to save this vid so i can revisit it because most of the other vids haven't talked about what you are. Subbed as well!
This is my first real foray into a fighter like this. Thanks for this tutorial
Got GGS cuz the meme of Bridget the brisket. So far i like the aesthethics and game play. First time playing a fighting game other than KOF and STF from my Gameboy
Besides playing some Tekken 2 & 3 back in the day I havent touched a fighting game in ages. But this game pulled me back in relearing all the basic stuff. This video helped me a bunch!
That checklist is such a good help, I needed something to help guide me. I play Smash and I enjoy fighting games, so I have the basics and inputs aren't an issue, but I've never really learned another game besides Smash and a little bit of dbfz, so I wanna try Strive
Great video like always. I always know that when I watch a RathFGC video, it's compact, to the point and doesn't teach unnecessary things or talks about combos and shit that doesn't help me.
Thanks for the video. This is what i need to get started. :D
Coming from Dbfz, Strive is really something else. I think i really need a lot of time to learn the game properly.
I subbed for FIghterz, yet I understand that that game has pretty much reached its end. I enjoyed this beta and just grabbed it on PC, can't wait to see this game grow as much as fighterz did over time. Hope to see you make more content!
This is my first fighting game and ngl when I saw the game on sale and took a look I bought it just because of the visuals but after playing for quite a bit I realized that I could really get into this game it's actually really fun eventhough I'm still very bad.
This is the best strive guide I've found so far. Seen u in dbfz. Subscribed.
Make more STRIVE content plz. Easily one of the best guides I have seen on UA-cam.
Thx for the guilty gear strive starter guides playlist. I’ll be using that.
@RathFGC thanks man, my cousin Grey and I are trying to get into this game over the summer and I have to say your beginners guide gives us some simple things to focus on without feeling totally overwhelmed and I have to say so far the dojo mode is great but quite overwhelming when just starting out.
yeah that’s a like and subscribe. I’m very VERY new to fighting games and have only played ones with simple mechanics (jump force, my hero’s ones justice) for only about a year.
I’ve avoided guilty gear strive and dbfz because the combo’s terrified me. no one on youtube was willing to help explain it to a TRUE beginner. This is the very first youtube video i’ve seen in my time of research, explaining guilty gear so in depth. You had time stamps, You explained at a normal pace, Everything was just PERFECT.
I’m ready to give guilty gear a re-try after hours of me practicing with no one to help explain a completely new game and experience to me :,D I could cry, again. ㅜㅡㅜ Thank you for the video.
Never knew about throws beating meterless reversals. Thank you!
i’m not that good at fighting games aside from smash and this guide has been extremely helpful so far. thank you!
I'd love to see a Ky specific video. I've been playing fighterz since launch and I got decent at the game (I'm ranked UI Sign), I'm branching out to GG but it's scary hehe. Ky seems cool and easier to get into than the rest of the cast so I'd like to be able to master him as soon as possible. Great vid as always man, keep it up!
Yeesssss, the Rath Strive guides begin.
And since you asked, individual character guides are my main interest, but I'm kinda down for w/e, I just enjoy the channel.
I'm new to fighting games all together but I really like this game. Thank you for making this!
This was amazing!
To summarize my intro to GGS:
Faust.
THAT IS BULLSH*T, BLAZING! STILL MY HEART IS BLAZING!!!
I have played a lot of fighting games but this is my first guilty gear. Thanks for the guide
Thanks for another sick vid rath!!
Great vid, as soon as I started I realized how convenient remapping dash would be, I can never do it consistently otherwise.
Great beginners guide!!! keep up the good work, I'll see you at locals
the smug may in the thumbnail is taunting me...
also amazing video as always dude, keep up the strive content
Hi! Just bought GGST and I’ve never played a guilty gear game before I think this video will help me a lot. Thank you!
great guide! Your Zato is looking nice
This was great man thanks!
you know what.. i will subscribe.. this video really gave me courage to try and learn it.. i played MK some time ago but gave up.. I wont do the same with this game and its thanks to you my guy
Great video broh, greetings from Costa Rica! Lab drills would be cool for future vid!
I was told this game is like blazblue, so I bought it excited and ready. This guide helps out a lot.
Great video mate 👍🏼
Holy shit dude! Keep this up the content is amazing!
glad I found this video, very helpful as I'm new to Guilty Gear as a whole. Only things I suck at are keeping the momentum going and I find it hard to perform quarter circles and half circles and the weird quarter circle and forward movement. I suppose I made things harder on myself for choosing Nagoriyuki as a main.. oops
i never play fighting games but i really like the look of this one, highly considering buying
the best Beginner's Guide to Guilty Gear Strive, ty!
Much appreciated keep up the good work
Never played a fighting game in my life, heard that GG-S was a good place for beginners to start.
Holy shit, I'm getting my ass handed to me. The tutorial/missions in this game are great tools, but some of them are REAL hard and have INSANE timing requirements. I've pulled off some combos in missions only to 'fail' because I was 0.25s too late to complete the set, despite my combo landing.
I know all about these things, but still came just to hear your soothing voice (so ASMR-ish) ☺️
Great video!
I al a big dbfz fan so keep doing guides of that game but i've just bought GGS and i love it, a Zato guide would be amazing but whatever you do i will enjoy it
This dropped on Game Pass today and I'm excited. First fighting game in a very long time, so I'm excited to have a new game to really sink my teeth into.
Same!!
@@Onaventea I spent a good hour and a half going through the mission mode last night. I still don't get how to staggering tbh.
@@internetfrnd6496 I have no clue what I’m doing either, I just play around and work it out as I go. Seems pretty good though
I've never had so much fun actually learning a game. GGST is the first fighting I've wanted since RELEASE! I just got a PS5 this Christmas and now I can finally play it, it's so fun for me to practice, and even lose to people. So much that I can learn from and improve
No matter how many videos I watch, or how much I spend my time in training, I just cannot control my hands when in an actual match, I cannot react to an opponent at all. I REALLY want to love fighting games but im just horrible at them.
Same it's pretty overwhelming.
Jumping in to a fighting game can be very discouraging, especially when you think you're making good progress. Playing matches in the park against opponents that are stronger as well as ones that are less adept is very helpful. Watching your replays and seeing how you should have reacted in a given situation is very helpful too. Roman cancels can be overwhelming and not easy to incorporate into play if you're new to the series. I am for instance but I don't think I'm terrible at fighting games. Yesterday I won some matches against a guy with over 1500 wins and I'm around 110 or so. I also got thrashed ten/zero by a by a guy who I truly believed I was better than, but he had his basics down cold. He didn't have to do anything fancy, he was just consistent and I got wrecked for it. It can be hugely frustrating, but it's all part of the process of fighting games. Watch a lot of content too. Sajam has great videos, instructionals, and he talks about fighting games and how to climb that mountain, so to say. If you take only one thing away from all of this, it's be patient with yourself. You don't need to have optimal combos when you're starting. Work on basics until it starts to feel more fluid. Then keep doing it. Adding in one Roman cancel to a combo is still progress, even if it doesn't work out. Training your brain and muscle memory to act/react takes time. Try not to lose patience with yourself and super importantly, put the controller down when you're not having fun. If you're getting destroyed and it's just pissing you off, you aren't going to help yourself. You'll just feel like more of a screw up and you won't want to keep playing. Other than that man just give it time.
@@YukonJack Thank you very much for those words, I'll take a look at Sajam's content as well like you said.
Thanks!
@@xStryphe93 always. I'm still working on putting the controller down when it's not fun bit. I'm trying to take my own advice too 😂
New to fighting games and I'm bouncing between Guilty Gear Strive and Soul Calibur 6. Already subbed, this is super helpful.
Great video mate
Very nice beginner summary
Excellent take ! I actually think it’s going to carry the fgc, I hope it does. Thank you for your content.
Thank you for this, my friend whoops my ass in this game, but damn him he got me fired up. Will be practicing.
Great video
Very helpful, thank you 👍
For struggles with specific matchups, consult mission mode; there are lessons there for dealing with unfavorable matchups more effectively!
Just downloaded it. Stoked to play Baiken...thanks for this very informative video...Guilty Gear has always been kinda intimidating to me...but as a fan of Fight Games...I gotta dive right in!
So I just picked up GGS as the first fighting game I want to try to take seriously. After about 12 hours I know some basic combos, have dipped into RCs a little bit, and have a general idea of what my character wants to do. I'm having trouble with a couple things though: 1) I don't know when or how to take back my turn, so end up sitting in a corner either getting mixed up or countered to death disappointingly often, and 2) I'm not really sure how to go about figuring out how to learn through training mode without burning bad habits into muscle memory.
Great vid, and I look forward to what you put out next!
I was losing sooooo hard on the default button layout and took a while to figure out the reason. What fixed it was swapping slash / heavy slash to x and y and punch / kick to ab. Idk for some reason it just feels right now.
best fighting game graphic style.. i wish the king of fighters would look like this some day
arc sys games always always look incredible
So glad that your channel is growing! Keep it up! Much love!
