The Guilty Gear general: Getting Wildly Assaulted in the Keyhole

ZioSerpe · March 12, 2018

With the hope we get this to be the place to be I'd like to start a GG thread because I think this is the best goddamn fighting game currently out there, and it was criminally unrepresented on the old Forums.

When I decided to get back into fighting games, I wanted to play GG and while starting to play I found Shoryuken.com, it had nothing on GG so I ended up gravitating towards SFV because I didn't want to be shit at GG. Took me almost a year (and SFV being very frustrating) to finally build up the courage to play GG online, and I am happier than ever.

So if anyone is looking for GG stuff hopefully they can find a friendly place here.

Also Jam's boobs are the perkiest boobs ever, and I feel that is important.

You beat me to this. I was gonna make a GG thread all weekend but never got back to here to do it.

I too love the fuck out of GG and would like to play it more than the not at all I currently do. I really want to learn something in addition to SFV (will be tricky with my time available but fuck it).

The one big pain in the ass is that GG isn't cross play. I'm PS4 for the record. I still haven't played the game enough to really pick a main but I'm leaning towards Ram.

Haven't we got a new update on the horizon for this?

GetTheTables · March 12, 2018

If you're talking about the patch, that went live on consoles on March 1st, Steam on the 9th (based off the internet, I haven't checked for myself recently).

All platforms patched by now. Let me know if you guys want games!

I am learning Baiken right now and I am having a lot of fun despite losing so much in lobbies.

And yeah, GG is pretty underrated.

The average SF player fears complexity and GG is relatively complex.

I play Jam, she was pretty easy to get into. Unlike most of the cast she is a fairly normal character , wih her min gimmick being cards, which are way less important, and I already dealt with as a Juri player in SFV.

I was interested in Ram at the start, but I would never be good at using her swords installs

I thought the same thing at first, but I've found the swords to not be too bad to work with. Thankfully the controls for them aren't too complicated. The biggest thing initially was that it made mashing hilariously fruitless.

My biggest issue with Ram is that I don't know much with her and haven't found a lot of good resources. Haven't tried looking super hard though. Also JF Daruo is gonna take a lot of practice to get consistent.

I've also played Slayer and May a bit. Slayer was who I was initially gonna stick with so I know a tiny bit more with him, but I'm mostly just fucking around with May.
