Topic: Guilty Gear -Strive-

@MightyDemon82 Awesome

It's weird how everyone loves Baiken, but they don't actually play her. LOL. Unlike the majority of Baiken's fanbase, at least there are some people out there, that do play Baiken including myself

@WaterKirby1964 Actually Baiken is currently the 3rd most popular character in Strive, according to some stats that people are tracking - in the ranked tower matches anyway as there aren't any stats for the park (top 2 are Ky and Sol, understandably).

Anyway, I just got my VIP status for the month, glad to have that out of the way early

@Voltan Oh, I see. Also, congrats on reaching VIP

@Voltan VIP is something in the game right?

I was going to get this on the sale the other day, but glad I didn't, as now I can get the starter pack!

@Snatcher It stands for Velociraptors Invented Postboxes.

@Snatcher It’s what @nessisonett says but it’s also indeed a thing in the game

Without going into detail that won’t mean much to someone who hasn’t played the game - it means I get to play with the best players in the “ranked” (it’s not exactly that but the closest thing this game has) mode for the rest of the month. You have to win a bunch of matches against players in that rank in a row to get it.

@Voltan Sorry for taking forever to reply.

Thats amazing, I thought thats what it meant, saw it wile someone streamed it once, Congrats! And with stuff like fighting games its something you totally earned!

@Voltan Congrats on reaching VIP. I'm still fighting the good fight and have came so close to getting to the 10th floor.

If I'm lucky, I should have a 1000 wins under my belt by the end of today. My Axl is level 104 with almost 150 hours played but I've seen some scary numbers when I go looking for fights on the 10th floor!

@MightyDemon82 Exp flows differently on the celestial floor, so players who have been there but haven't made it back yet this month (so they're confined to Floor 10) will have numbers that might look a little ridiculous to a non-celestial
I'm currently getting close to 1700 myself and that's not crazy high tbh

Good job on working your way up the ladder, btw!

@Voltan Ah I see.

Thanks, Even when I get knocked down, I enjoy the fight to climb higher again. It's extremely rewarding!

@Voltan @MightyDemon82 In regards to fighting games in general including Guilty Gear -Strive-, I am just a casual

@WaterKirby1964 Same here, I'd also consider myself a casual but one who has played more of Guilty Gear Strive than any fighting game ever. Used to just play the story mode and move on, that's my one gripe about the game, I'd love more single player content!

Friday 2.0 patch notes: https://www.guiltygear.com/ggst/en/news/post-1560
Some interesting stuff, apparently changing how the fast Roman Cancels work.
My ninja boi is getting some interesting changes too.

For you Axl player, you'll now be able to use Winter Mantis in some combos, which is interesting.
Very curious about all this

@Voltan A fellow Chipp main I see

@WaterKirby1964 Yeah, since like 2001

Not guaranteed to be about Strive but probably worth checking out 👀

@Voltan Yas my boi got buffed, will play about with it tonight and look over the notes later. Watched a bit of Rooflemonger on YouTube to see what he said about it.

@MightyDemon82 I currently see some Axl players crying about the changes (mainly the Axl Bomber change, which reduces his damage output on high level, to be fair)
Apparently Chipp doesn't get combos from his overheard mid screen now, which is a bit of a pain - but it's less reactable now on the other hand.

Unfortunately I won't be able to check it out myself until pretty late tonight.
