Newer player, chapter 11, when does progression really start?

In the sense of unlocking characters or expanding your backpack, I know that there is a 7K gem upgrade but does that make it pay to win? Just for only the big big size? Are the devs maybe going to add a future way of how to get it for free but just like a grind? Or maybe a part of some event? And in the same way of actually getting heroes like the epic and legendary you can't really roll for them specifically. So is the only way just through events and getting shards on luck? That would take a while right

Am I tripping or does Jack O have some of the most overlooked privilege?

Playing against Jack os but also watching high rank ones, it really does feel like they have basically an almost constant looping round pressure. Zato and bedman and Asuka etc have pressure cycles but they inevitably have a stopping point, jack o doesn't seem to have one. 3 stocks of minions, an advancing low, a projectile, and gapless strings with front back high low mix, like if you fight a good jack o it's gg right? But it's just weird that a character is allowed that long of a looping cycle. Makes me want to pick her up so I can bully people 👀

Asuka should generate mana on hit when burnt out mayhaps

Anything to give him something besides "uh oh they blocked my string, it's now neutral like any other interaction but if I get hit it's over"

If I make a "Guilty Gear Yearbook" with classic titles like Class clown, prom king and queen, most likely to get expelled etc... would y'all do a questionnaire?

I think it would be fun to see the community ideas of the characters and their personalities and it would be a fun thing to do, but it would likely become a sizeable questionnaire and would need a good amount of results to compile the actual yearbook results. I would likely have sections that are

-classic yearbook superlatives/personalities

-meme awards

-gameplay awards

Etc.

I would totally be down to make a form, but idk how many people are actually be willing to fill it out :p

This would also mainly just apply to GGST, as it's the most popular and familiar I believe, it's also the only one I've played :p

Edit: Made the Post here https://www.reddit.com/r/Guiltygear/s/NNKNhnVN4r :P

What does endgame look like?

I've heard exclusive things open up post credits in the game, but it sounds like it's just cosmetics? Is there anything to do after the game besides just cosmetic or personal challenge, like any hidden bosses or higher difficulty?

What does guard crush do?

I thought the whole purpose was to be able to throw them, but I guard crush, walk up, throw, and it goes right through them. What's the point of it then?

Tips and tricks for Asuka? (+ Mod commission request?)

Watched Mister Acolytes guide on Asuka and it's 10/10 made me go from not caring about the character to loving him, but I for sure still struggle. I think the biggest issue right now honestly is the card slot bar since my buttons don't align with it, I'm trying to make a mod to make a 2x2 grid or just to rearrange the order, but I'm also willing to just commission a mod for that if someone does know how to.

Besides that, I'm sure it's muscle memory with speed in chanting. I feel there's hidden knowledge, like regen cancelling after a spell let's you act quicker than just doing the spell by itself? It feels that way but I don't know for sure

Does a true random mod for character pick exist?

Every rematch I want the character to be random, but random only selects the character once and in order to get a new random character you need to exit the fight then go back in. Is there anything that makes every rematch pick random? Plz devs 🙏
