So I guess this game is called Guilty Gear Strive now.

There's a closed beta this weekend and they released a bunch of media (Starter guides)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a few sweet tracks from the soundtrack!

Allegedly the Playstation version won't have crossplay with PC so PC version is dead already.

Eh, PC gamers are just gonna mod the game and have all the characters fight each other in bikinis and Speedos anyway so whatevs.

You guys playing in the beta this week? 

If you are which characters are you looking to main?

[Keyser_Soze]

I probably won't be playing the beta, I mean, maybe I'll try it out. They do say you don't need PS Plus to participate which is a PLUS (see what I did there)

I'm thinking of playing Giovanna or maybe Valentine - Both seemingly play completely different of course so I'm going to have to see how I like how they play.

Perhaps.

 

If I do, I’ll main my boy Ky Kiske as per usual.

Here I thought DB Fighterz was the best cell shading could get. Hot damn!

[Keyser_Soze]

Max playing it right now. It looks really good, better than the youtube videos.

That lobby system has go to go though.

Yea the lobby looks like booty

I wish I was even halfway decent at fighting games. 

[Keyser_Soze]

Beta is 11 gigs, let's go boys!

[Keyser_Soze]

The game doesn't do much in the way of showing you how to play the game, or what "dust" is, etc. There is a tutorial that basically says nothing and there's a training mode with a command list, which really shows you command normals and specials. Not much in the way of giving you combo info, you'll have to hunt that down.

 

I think this guy does a good job of teaching the absolute basics of the game.

 

 

[Keyser_Soze]

They released a GGS watch

Also they showed a trailer for I-No (No trailer yet) but she looks amazing and actually one of the characters I was missing!

[Keyser_Soze]

 

[NeoJoe]

This might sound dumb but I was completely enthralled with how they animated her glasses. So slick looking!

[Keyser_Soze]

Beta is wrapping up in 2 hours.

 

I played a handful of matches, like 5, as Ram. I'm not really good. I won 1 match, feels good man. But I guess her whole game plan is to jump around like a goon.

[GameDadGrant]

I love how "sensory overload" this series is. 

[SimpleG]

My 2 cents

The game seems to be very unga bunga but that may change once the game releases. Too many characters have massive reach, jump ins have no punishment due to double jump and air blocks and because of that the neutral game feels nonexistent . 
Characters I really wanted to play I found to be underwhelming and characters I thought I would have avoided turned out to be fun.

I can see characters like Nago, Potemkin, and Ram getting nerfed.

[Keyser_Soze]

Ram is crazy but I feel like Axl and Zato were pretty powerful.

Nago he does a lot of damage but also kills himself.

Nago can control like 3/4 of the screen and do wicked damage. Axel and Zato are strong but I feel like they take more skill to do well. Potemkin CG can 3 shot and has a super easy 2 hit to air throw that does ridiculous dps.

[Keyser_Soze]

I think maybe they should go in the opposite direction. There are some characters like Sol and Ky, who maybe should be buffed. Make everyone OP!

Here's the survey if you didn't see it earlier.
