This is a stellar matchup chart. I love that you show off video examples of what makes a matchup easy or difficult, as well as a clear idea of what your rubric is for an even matchup. As a Testament player, it was actually informative to _me_ how I can play against Bridget, which I think is a good sign of a great matchup chart :)
I'm not the biggest Strive player (I grinded for a bit in like, October-Early December), but I love watching you, Romolla, and Sajam's Strive content! I've been in the scene for almost a decade, but not many FGC creators have hooked me every single video. The biggest three who have done it and don't upload video essay-like analysis videos (like my favourite creator, Rubbish), are Brian_F, Romolla, and you! I got into Blade Strangers recently and have been grinding it a bunch whenever I can because of your amazing tournament video. You make great content, seriously. Keep being entertaining as hell, dude!
I liked the part where you said Faust should be able to duck Ram's buttons. Please keep saying that. But seriously, thanks for the vid! You're right, Bridget feels like one of Faust's better matchups this patch. You also mentioned that Bridget struggles with dash-blocking him, and something else that makes that worse in this patch is that his 5H and 2D have way more pushback on block, so dash-blocking against him is much less effective now.
I play Nago and Bridget and think you're spot on in the matchup. Bridget has a ton of ways to stuff Nago's specials and force him into two blood. Of course he can blow you up but most of the cast can do that
Thanks for the video. Hope you get a chance to do another 101 type guide for this patch, I felt like I was just getting the hang of things as a floor 9-10 player, and I know she didn't really change that much but I still just felt overwhelmed with all the new tech. Kinda fell off and want to get back into it
as a Testament player I am really unsure about the Bridget vs Testament matchup. My gut feeling and my win rate says it favors Testament. I feel Bridget has to work really hard to get in. Execution wise it is definitely an easier matchup for Testament. Especially after the patch with the H Grave Reaper buff. Once Bridget gets in I find her less scary then having an I-no, Goldlewis or an Anji in my face and Bridget has to work really hard to get there. I think Diaphone is probably right that with two really cracked players going at it. In theory Bridget should have all the tools to deal with the matchup. Perhaps neutral is fair. I think I'm just repeating Diaphones points :D anyway I find it interesting.
Millia vs Bridget is wacky, Millia has to jump like she's got springs on her boots to not get locked down, any yoyo throw that doesn't lock her down she gotta yeet herself in the air, just getting caught in the Bridget loops feels bad, man
Oh my god I'm an Anji main and i had a really different way of looking at the Bridget matchup, i would have put it at slight advantage. Its true that she has a very big advantage in neutral, but Anji is so tanky that it doesn't feel soo bad, like I have to get 2 or 3 openings and i win a round (especially with how much access Anji gets to damage and meter with the new changes). It's cool to hear another perspective on it. Also take it with a grain of salt I'm not as good as Diaphone I'm just a random celestial Anji.
before I watch this; i'll assume bridget matchup for sin is + or ++ in my opinion. as a sin player I will either always lose first match, or second match when against bridget. its hard form e cause I have yet to fully understand what I do that makes me lose most my matches against her. while I know her kit since I played her, i'm no expert by any means of how to stop her since this is my first fighting game
Probably the worst match up would be *you* a "serious professional" *GranBlue* player! (Yeah, yeah i know! i DID have trouble saying that with a strait face! xD) trying to "optimally" play them! xD Sorry, sorry i couldn't resist! Wow!! An' just as i expected the first thing anyone who TRIES to watch this gets hit with? An AD!! Of course! Well, i DO believe in allowing a vid to speak for itself and that speaks volumes of how much you think of your audience. NOT MUCH.

I love how the chapter thumbnails look like P4U haha
Does the mod exist?
I assure you it doesn't look like a pau...
@@GhostzinZ the thumbnail looks exactly like the character select for P4AU
@@Grunkle2210 ik, but "pau" in portuguese Brazilian is a way to say "penis"
i agree with this spread 100%. havent played a ton of strive bridget but have a lot of legacy experience
This video is so good!! Its going to be great having a well documented resource like this for every MU

Shotouts for that awesome thumbnail
Even if I dont play bridge this gave me a good bit of insight into what i should be looking for when playing against a good one. Nice vudeo

Once again diaphone with a goated thumbnail
Millia in neutral, you gonna get visited by him
Hurr durr gorilla game bastards buff Millia
idk what else that loser says, but I hope I checked all the boxes with this

Hearing you say that Bridget wins against Nago feels so good, finally some validation.
hey you can up new version for this machups?
9:43 Ram is the equivalent of a rich CEO’s kid telling other people to work hard to be successful
Diaphone has great taste in guilty gear mains AND jrpg soundtracks!

Absolutely god tier thumbnail btw
So given this tier list, who would you guys choose as a secondary to cover the most disadvantage matchups for Bridget?
certainly not, right? Even against Ram if you're better than your opponent you'll win most of the time by a significant amount.
I think in general a secondary isn’t needed since none of the MUs are that bad, and most of the bad MUs are too tiers so counterpicking wouldn’t help
Can’t go wrong with HC tho looool
@@Diaphone I couldn't not dislike this comment haha
Love your content Diaphone, always like and comment when there is correct information on pot's MU😘
Anyone know the Track Name for the song that starts at around 13:55 ? Really catchy tune
The baiken MU is just straight up pain imo, but I agree with pretty much everything else
what i miss in these match up videos is how to play mirror match. i know its even but there must be some notes to it too
Love your content!

My irritation as a Nago player feels a little justified now for this match-up. But the wins still feel sweet lol
Big fan of the Persona 4 theme of this video hahaha
Do you feel like Bridget have good buttons to hit Jack-O minions?
Better than Baiken.. fireball also good vs minion too
bridget my beloved
brisket.
I don't know what the match up is, but I hate fighting Bridget as Gio. It's so hard to get in against her.
man Faust *should* go under ram normals
finally I can counter this character
I’m not sure why, but somehow I always beat Ramlethal
Are you named after the diaphone fire horn? Lol
2k still not a low profile!😡😡😡
I thought Ky was one of her worst matchups

This is probably the best comment I've ever read on this cannel
Bridget is one of sols worst matchups imo
I now know who to go against the most annoying players In guilty gear thanks
yourre lying
Elaborate 👁️
@@Diaphone Faust is pain 😭
Hey Diaphone, I really enjoy your content a lot. I'd love to see you revisit GranBlue again!
