As an asuka main I like to run in recklessly like an inexperienced rushdown player just to see if I'll surprise them or instantly throw the match. It's like gambling in the sense it usually doesn't work and it's having a net negative on improving but it's so funny when it actually works
@@Ray-wz8sg This TBH I have have some matches where I try to play like properly and thoughtfully and I get my ass stomped. Then like after I lose I will like start the round with a power crush and then just run at them and do a flying kick liked and then kick them again on the ground and it works. Very frustrating when the unga bunga route gives you better results than like learning your combos and pokes. smh
Hey Gekko, it'd be nice if you got more footage that matches what you're saying on screen, just like the blue RC segment it'd be helpful to visualize the example so that we can see the tips in action, even if it's recorded dummies on training mode that'd be great to further help out beginners who don't have much of a grasp on what you're talking about
Another tip: just -lean- block, especially if the opponents pressure is one dimensional. Far too may people from floor 1-8 will get hit by frame traps in the most basic of blockstrings, even without no mix-ups sprinkled in because they're too scared to play defense. In a game where offense is very strong, the guy who can defend well is a menace.
can confirm, started playing in november of last year and i'm now F9--i believe just learning how to actually block well genuinely took me from F2 to F6-F7 (doesn't hurt that when you're a ride or die bedman main you *have* to be a decent blocker because he is comically bad at defense compared to the majority of the cast)
Remap taunt, mash taunt while being comboed, learn framedata of the taunts, aba is the only character that doesn't have a 50/50 on her taunts. This is "meme" but no there is alot of actually useful info you will gain from taunting. 1 does your opponent tilt easily 2 does your opponent use meter effectively 3 you will learn the weirdest spots people drop comboes 4 your characters framed atm changes with the taunt causing you to possibly dodge some attacks or for example bridget change the direction of your attacks(example when bridget sings she is lower then when you just croutch while her stretch is slightly higher then standing) 5 patience you can cancel out of taunts on frame 2? And sometimes it's better to hold your position then to run into your opponents strike range. 6 HAVE FUN you can 50/50 most taunts with forward and down each character has 4 taunts(there's also meter tech if/when your opponent taunts back) and if you fear "giving meter" then do it when their at 100% meter for the biggest taunt since they gain nothing
Thanks for the words of encouragement. Any suggestions on who to play? Maybd a couple. I am not completely new to fighting games but one of my new years resolutions this year was to get deeper into them as they had always been of an interest but always a bit daunting ive played them since i was a kid and do manage to get to like an awkward just above casual level which really sucked pre online because it made it hard to find people to play against as a kid. So far this year and late last year I made progress in sf6 and T8. I have also been kind of dicking around in the free version of granblue.
@@casbalt7763it kinda depends on preference, but some are better or easier when you're new. Ky and Sol are probably the easiest, and are both powerful. If you're looking for an absolutely basic starting point, mess around with them for a bit I'd just say to avoid the harder characters, namely Zato, Asuka, Happy Chaos, and Jack-O. They're fun, but you need a good understanding of basic mechanics and their own quirks to make them work. The rest of the cast should be fine to work with for the most part tho, so see who you understand and have fun with
to add onto the burst thing--it's also mad useful for wild assault, especially if you play a white WA heavyweight which struggles to start pressure (looking at you, bedman.) white WA can be used for roundstarts (which only loses to jumping and grabs, which are mostly hard reads unless you're the type of potemkin player to try and kara PB at every opportunity,) hard reads / punishments, and just jumpscare pressure offense or continuation (the last one appears to actually be better with orange WA and blue WAs but white WA can still use it for that in certain situations, see bedman corner pressure, particularly ones with a lot of stun and guard crush--can you tell i play bedman)
I admittedly haven't played in a long ass time. Too many other games to play, but I'm thinkin about comin back. I never realized that jump cancel off close slash and 5k were how people usually burst bait!
I didn't pay 60€ (+DLC) to block In fact, each season pass I'm less likely to block. By the way, I think my game is bugged, why is every hit I receive a counter?
OH SHIT GEKKO ACTUALLY GOT THE RAID SHADOW LEGENDS SPONSOR I CALLED IT LIKE NOSTRADAMUS. THE SELLOUT ARC HAS HIT IT'S PEEK. But all jokes aside. Good vid mate very informative.
@@Rukassuwu short answer, get lucky. if you've been to the challenge several times, you already know that the skill gap between celestial players is ridiculously large. your only options is to dodge until you find someone you're confident you can beat or bang your head against the wall until it finally works other than that, just don't lose hope. it's a dogshit system but you can overcome it with enough grinding
@@Rukassuwu you gotta keep smashing your head against that ceiling. Try playing players that are better than you. I find it helps you learn. I also got lucky with the matchups I had to play.
My own personal tip, from someone who's rather mediocre at fighting games: Learn your weaknesses. Not just your character's, but your own as well. This is especially important if you and your character share the same weakness. For example, let's say you're a really aggressive Johnny player. You know his setups, pressure, and combos like the back of your hand, and your offense is unrelenting. But, you're pretty vulnerable the moment you're put on the defensive. Johnny has no way of remedying this, since his defensive tools are extremely lacking, so putting more focus onto your defense will go a long way. Alternatively, if you're still trying to pick a main, add your personal weaknesses as a thing to consider. Are you really good at defense, but just can't capitalize off of your opponent's mistakes? Pick a character that's really good at punishing opponents after surviving a blockstring, like Chipp or HC.
HAH! HE USED THE TIP 3 OVER LAY TWICE! AHAHAHAHAHAH! JK tho just found your channel and I find it to be super awesome! I’m new to strive so this is definitely a super good resource!
Is there a way to get good without respecting my opponent and/or character choice? I need a way to just deny my opponent from ever playing the game without having to use happy chaos and without needing to block for extended periods of time. Blocking=respecting your opponent, and i don't wanna do that. I just want to shut my opponent down while doing counterhit combos with slayer.
saying most characters have 3f or 4f mashes kinda annoyed me so i counted them 2 characters have a 3f mash (sol and chipp) 5 characters have a 4f mash (may, aba, millia, gio, and baiken) and 21 characters have a 5f mash
Im trying to get better, 500 hours in and im still stuck between floor 6 and 8. I switched to hitbox and am trying to learn that, im decent with zato but i want to learn jack o on hitbox, shes my second main and shes a lot better than zato now
I already follow (very loosely) a few of these tips in the video as a chipp main, and I've had one of my friends tell me im the most passive chipp player he's ever met. but honestly... isn't that a good thing? I'm still getting used to the game (ive only been playing off and on for a few weeks) but by being passive I've learned several things about how my friends play characters, ive gotten better at blocking and knowing good times to burst, and ive found out ways to get out of combos... and learned the hard way its not always a good idea to mash out of wall combos, even as chipp 😅
as a sol badguy loyalist main and half joking but also not really kinny i dont know why i watched the whole video like i dont plan man i do shit when it feels right
i play axl low. his gimnick is that hes bad. (fr tho he has lower range than some other characterw while being slower than them its so stupid.) i play him because of his personality.
MAN GEKKO hear me out, you ought to beg for subs more because I only subscribed accidentally after binging through like 20 of your videos. I went "huh why didn't I do that earlier when he deserves it"

I was going to comment the same! This would be a huge help 🙏
No Gekko, I will not git gud
FLOOR 6 NATION, WAKE UP DP WITH ME
WAKE UP DP
yeah, bayblade dp combo gaming
:c
Skill issue

That's a good tip

Ngl, didn't expect Gekko to speak about being patient, that's probably the best advice anyone can get. So much love man❤

potemkin taunt oki is insane btw, everyone should lab that shit
This was such good timing i just got the anniversary edition and have been sitting intimidated by it.
You're gonna get your ass beat, over n over again, especially if you're new to fighting games but stick with it. you got this
Also don’t be too intimidated by the tower, you’ll lose at first but in the lower floors (4-6) you’ll probably start getting some wins pretty quickly

Gekko: number 4
The screen: tip 3
I haven't played guilty gear yet but this is very useful thanks
This is the third video you've put the same Asuka clip in your video with Poop Eater
it is a very good clip tbf
Oh yeah don't forget the all important "sit on floor 10 learning to block for several months and generalizing what each character does"
I admittedly haven't played in a long ass time. Too many other games to play, but I'm thinkin about comin back. I never realized that jump cancel off close slash and 5k were how people usually burst bait!

How to get good at Guilty Gear Strive:
Step 1: Play Raid Shadow Legends
Step 2: Win
Stopped playing the game about a season ago, kidna scared to return.
GG is anime street fighter (in an ultra reductive sense) for a reason.
Beautiful video
I'm early and now, I know how to guilty on my gear so I can strive

want tips to increase my patientce waiting for salyer im running low
Getting my ass beat: no way
Getting my ass ate: oh yay
I am the bane of your existence, I play pot, faust and axel

Ayo first time that I'm actually first. I know it's a dead trend, but still, yippee!

somebody can tell me the song in this part? 7:35
Tip 6: Beg ArcSys to buff your character
So what I got from this video is that ArcSys should buff Testament
i needed this video
2:52 I'm Sorry but I won't be learning defense. The only defense I need is called Bandit Bringer
Been playing strive again and not gonna lie I have no idea which button is the burst button or the Roman cancel button.
And yes I am also bad 😅
How did you make this video in 4 hours? That's insane
saying most characters have 3f or 4f mashes kinda annoyed me so i counted them
2 characters have a 3f mash (sol and chipp)
5 characters have a 4f mash (may, aba, millia, gio, and baiken)
and 21 characters have a 5f mash
whats the background music in this moment? 7:05
It's definitely a song from persona 5, I'm not certain but i think it might be confession/secret
@@zynstein i went through the whole ost and is butterfly kiss
Im trying to get better, 500 hours in and im still stuck between floor 6 and 8. I switched to hitbox and am trying to learn that, im decent with zato but i want to learn jack o on hitbox, shes my second main and shes a lot better than zato now
Finally a video for me
My true love is Potemkin, I just want to hammer fall rc buster
Thank You. thank you very much. I've been waiting on slayer to release and i need to reconnect with my inner terrorist.
Got it, play Nagoryuki keep away.
Why be good when you can play Faust?
I already follow (very loosely) a few of these tips in the video as a chipp main, and I've had one of my friends tell me im the most passive chipp player he's ever met. but honestly... isn't that a good thing?

7:33 "tip 3"
How do I get worse?
I bounced off playing Strive cause my controller doesn't like being plugged into a laptop :P (& thats all I have to play)
I watch the Meta, so I know what I shouldn’t do cuz ppl gonna be ready for it >:)
As a sol main, I'll just use fafnir in neutral
Ah yes tip 1, tip 2, tip 3, tip 3 and tip 5. Just as I remember it 🤣
Didn't seem like a rush job
Wow! its raid shadow legends! the people who miscommunicated and made you make this video in 6 hours! i love youtube sponsor ships! (get yo bag gekko)
Screw you, Gekko! I burst on cooldown!
Patience 😠 I will not play my midrange zoner with patience
I wanted to buy it but its expensive as he'll
as a sol badguy loyalist main and half joking but also not really kinny i dont know why i watched the whole video like i dont plan man i do shit when it feels right
I wont git gud, you just need to git bad
Holy Waffles cono I need this For Mastering slayer be the bes_ I mean the Dandiest
i play axl low.
his gimnick is that hes bad.
(fr tho he has lower range than some other characterw while being slower than them its so stupid.)
i play him because of his personality.
Axl's biggest crime is being Bri'ish
@@LoraLoibu if he was american he could have become like a famous rock star or something.
nah mate i'm gonna ignore this and continue playing faust
Counter argument: I play HC
Lowkey, idgaf about GG i but do wanna git gud.
Not watching the video, but i really like the thumbnail 👍
gekker squoirl video yippeee!!!!!!
Me knowing all these tips and still being ass
Hmmm, I dunno. You should buff your voice lines a bit more, could barely hear you shouting
I'd rather have a coach
Don’t care + I’m in backturn now so I win
MAN GEKKO hear me out, you ought to beg for subs more because I only subscribed accidentally after binging through like 20 of your videos. I went "huh why didn't I do that earlier when he deserves it"
Nooooo RAID PROMO
How to get good
1. Pick Sol, Ram, or Gio
2. WIN
um no thanks i will continue with the silly stuff
Why gekko, why did you have fo fall to the shitt6 gane ads... youve talked about how shitty games like raid are in past videos....
