Who do y'all think would be the most fair/honest top1?
I would say probably either Ky or Anji.
My Testament Scythe
So I went to Otakon DC back in July wearing a Testament cosplay that I was very proud of and I wanted to post pics but the scythe was only half finished. Now, 2 months later, the scythe is done. It is far too large to really "put away" so of course I mounted it on the wall above my bed so I can fall asleep to the sweet smell of paint fumes :D
Otakon has a prop size limit of 6'6" and it might be like half an inch over but dont tell security.
The haft is a PVC pipe that I bent with a heat gun, then hot glued and carved up pool noodles to shape the handle, sealed with plastidip, and spray painted. I wasnt happy with how messy the handle is but my friends loved it.
The skull and spine and pommel are 3d printed using the model from the game which I found ripped online and modified for printing and assembly. I really should have measured better cause i had to really fuck up the end of the pvc to fit it into the skull and the slot I made for the EVA foam blade was completely the wrong thickness. The dark brown on the prints is a 2 in one metallic paint and primer, the blood red and meat red are hand painted.
The blade is a single layer of EVA foam - again, because I measured wrong - with two pieces of XPS foam to bulk out the sides and hide the wooden dowels in the middle, and a 3d printed bracket at the back to attach it to the skull. I had planned on making it 2 layers of EVA and carving it down to the blade shape but when the prints came out wrong I had to improvise. I also should have done more material research because the plastidip kinda melted the XPS foam but it holds paint and it looks fine from a distance. I also never figured out how to straighten a single layer of EVA so theres like a 20° bend at the tip of the blade but you cant really notice it unless you're staring directly down the length of the blade.
Cosplay pics when i figure out how to get my contacts in.
Help please am I missing something about backdash in this game ?
Im not actually beast blaming here but please help me
I NEED to understand how the backdash works in ggst and dustloop isnt really extensive on that peculiar topic
is backdash actually invincible frame 1 ? or do I miss my meaty timings because sometimes backdash heavy folks will just randomly escape meaty and take their turn back with it
(if the answer is indeed present on the frame data category on dustloop Im sorry this thing is hard to browse through)
oh and also why does almost nobody complain about backdash in the first place ? maybe Im really the only one failing to Meaty properly idk
In vanquisher, sometimes you have to vary your approach while pressuring their weakest responses!
I believe that I am carried, and I don't like it.
So I've been playing Goldlewis for the past few weeks, and while I'm definitely enjoying it, I feel like he's carrying me. Before now my highest ranked characters were Venom and Axl in plat3(I've got others there, but those are the main ones). I got placed in plat1 with GL, and pretty much shot straight up to diamond with little to no effort(higher than the characters I've spent a ton of time on), it took about a week to get from diamond1 to D2 and I've been pretty much stagnant in D2 for a few days. The real issue is that I honestly haven't learnt anything important for him and I'm still doing so much better than my other characters, I haven't learnt any proper mixups, the only Oki I do is throw, drone, 684h, and sometimes otg stuff on a whim(most of them fails, but I've found a couple good setups), and I only have 2 bnb's other than that I just freestyle shit, it honestly makes it feel like my efforts on my mains were wasted.
This is also a "Hey, I made it to Diamond2 post".
Has someone already noticed this
I just started playing GGST a few weeks ago, rn i was testing out some characters and well... Venom really looks like he is doing a jojo reference even the buildings seems like the ones in egypt where dio fights kakyoin.
Does anyone know if this was made on purpose, like i already knew about Axl Low and his time stop and jotaro like pose
Just remembered about the 6th grade meta posts, i wonder what happened since then. Its been like 3 years after all
for those who dont know the user u/doctorderpin made a series of post where his 6th grade students where setup to play +R once a month, and he did a anylisis of the kids meta, it was a pretty interesting and funny read. The last post was about a new group of kids starting but since then there was no more updates. I just assumed that maybe the new kids didt got interested in the game and moved on, or maybe the OP got another job, or who knows, life is life after all.
I just got reminded of it all and i got curious to what happened to all that. Part of me really wished that OP recorded and/or saved the replays of the matches from the tournament so we could see with our own eyes how these kids played +R.
It was gonna be either Johnny or Anji but friend said Robo-Ky would be funnier ig
What is chipp's most annoying move? (normals too)
I main exclusively chipp and while I noticed plenty of other character's annoying buttons (elphelt 6P I'm looking at you) but I'm aware that I'm biased (I'm not, my character is obviously the only balanced one) and I want to see what other people hate about chipp.
Which veterans are left to join Guilty Gear Strive Season 5? Who to bring back?
So many veterans that are missed! Who else to join Jam & Robo-Ky?
Otherwise there’ll be a new character and guest character joining and those left could be saved for next game.
