He did it again. He found another reason to talk about Guilty Gear

This feels like a review lecture on a class I haven't taken. A fascinating glance into the depth of fighting games.

Good vid! I'll always remember this one moment I had when I was starting to get into Xrd, where I joined a casual learning lobby stream from a player who primarily played SF. His major comment after playing me for awhile was that I really needed to work on anti-airing. This was totally true in a vacuum, as I had bad anti-air reactions, but his comment about it was something along the lines of "As soon as you see me jump you should be hitting that anti-air". And as someone coming over from Blazblue it just left me very confused. "Every time? Don't I have to confirm you're actually coming in first? How can he be so confident?" I largely disregarded that little bit and just worked on general reaction time and comfort with my moves etc. It wasn't until early this year when giving GBVS a try that I finally got the full understanding of why he would say that as a gut reaction. It was the first time I had played a 2D fighter without double jumps or air-blocking, and suddenly his SF based response of "If you aren't anti-airing immediately that's just a reaction problem" came full circle and made a ton of sense, because that old comment was now dead on.

Spending Time on the Borderline is an amazing album. Great to see it there!

" over the rainbow 🌈 shit " LOL. For KOF I see it this way putting aside neutral jumps there's 2 jump options ( Normal jump and Hop ) and each one has a second variation ( Hyper Jump and Hyper Hop ), hops and hyper hops are your friends to deal with zoning and add pressure.

Never waste a good opportunity.

22:36 Tager is my favourite grappler in fighting games because of the way he counteracts his extremely limited movement, in a game where movement is as free form as ever, with many character able to whiff punish you into a full combo from full screen. His movement is pathetic, but the way he attempts to make up for that is with his special gimmick: magnetism. When you get hit by one of Tager's drive moves, you become magnetised for a set period of time. This will cause certain attacks of Tager's to pull you in towards him. These attacks being all his drive moves AAAAAAAND... his command grabs :))))) Block a full screen projectile? You better be careful with your run in or you might just be sucked straight into his invuln command grab. You're magnetised and have the gawl to jump? Well he can jump too, and guess what, he has a command grab in the air that he can suck you right into. This magnetism also allows him to do some extremely unique and crazy resets (check out MoustachedVillain if you want to see the best Tager has to offer). It's such a unique and interesting take on a grappler, and I absolutely love it. (I wish he were better, but tier list discussion is another thing and grapplers always suck anyway lol)

@HasekuraIsuna

3 жыл бұрын

Tager has air dash though in JC... Jokes aside, I also find Tager's design to be really interesting and wish he was more viable. After playing GG for the first time recently, I really think he needs either a move similar to Slide Head or maybe a C version of Sledgehammer that actually blocks other things than just projectiles.

@skivvac

3 жыл бұрын

@@HasekuraIsuna well he already has B sledge, which has armour against all moves. However, it's caveat is that he can still be hit low, like many other armoured moves. Tager's biggest issues are his poor movement, neutral, and defensive options. Against most of the cast, it can be extremely difficult for him to get his gameplan going, and it's very easy to steamroll Tager into the corner and kill him without ever giving him a chance to retaliate. However, in true grappler fashion, once he gets a hit in, the tables can turn very quickly. Sadly, his tools to squeeze that hit out aren't very difficult to shut down, making him a pretty all around terrible character.

@HasekuraIsuna

3 жыл бұрын

@@skivvac Oh, you're right, B sledge actually takes High and Mids nowadays. As I remember it it was only projectiles it blocked. My bad. I think a move like Slide Head, that knocks opponent down if they are on the ground allowing for a single safe super jump to close the distance, would be a way to increase his way of getting closer, without giving him more movement per se. Seeing as both defensive system mechanics in Burst and CA puts him in a bad spot compared to rest of the cast, giving him something like that would hurt I think.

@skivvac

3 жыл бұрын

@@HasekuraIsuna I'm not sure if Pot's moves would exactly patch the holes in Tager's character. For one, the move you just suggested wouldn't function very well in a BlazBlue context. Not only is the arena wider, making it impossible to close the gap with one super jump forward from full screen, but BlazBlue favours being airborne a lot more than Gear does due to barrier being very low cost and allowing you to block everything in the air. For many of Tager's absolute pain matchups, such as Amane or Izanami, I doubt this would help very much if at all. If I could give Tager one thing to make him better, I'd start with a better dedicated anti air. At present, his anti air options are pretty pathetic. He has 2C, which is an EXTREMELY slow anti air, even for a 2C, and has its head invuln kick in extremely late, making it very difficult to reliably reaction anti air people, and often just downright impossible. His other grounded anti air options are 2A and atomic collider. 2A is his best option against an IADing opponent or the like, and it actually functions all right, but isn't very much help against opponents coming in from directly above or at an angle, as the hitbox is quite small and it lacks any head invuln. Also, the reward you get off of it is pretty measly. As for atomic collider, this is more of a read/space control anti air, and is essentially useless without magnetism, making it less of a dedicated anti air and more of a gimmick. Outside of all this, basically all he's got is air to airs, with his j.A, j.B, or air command grab, but this lacks any invuln and is again pretty much useless without magnetism. Making Tager's 2C faster, or at least have faster head invuln, would go a long way to making him better. Jumping in on Tager is a difficult thing for him to deal with, and giving him better options to defend against this would go a long way I think.

@HasekuraIsuna

@@skivvac You seem much more knowledgeble than me, so you are probably right! Now that you say it, players seem to get a lot of "free" jump-ins on Tager, which should be punishable, but doesn't seem to be. I guess the devs reasoned that instead of making 2C have proper invulnerability or speed, the fact that you can combo of it even if you trade with a air normal should make up for it...
