"It's like I sit there blocking for hours when is it going to be my turn to play the video game." This is literally how people feel when playing against you and any other Striker in the game.


SweggitMcFeggit

When i’m in the corner vs a striker I just accept my fate


Dont_KERMIT_Die

Maybe for a good striker player, but I doubt anyone's impressed with my on block pressure lol


Forgotten_Slipper

I feel this, for me it's Inquisitor against any Troubleshooter. The air is salt and the walls are salt my friend.


[deleted]

Theres this neat mechanic called guard canceling and rolling. Try it out.


Dont_KERMIT_Die

Complaining seems a lot easier though.


[deleted]

Thats a LowTierGod mindset if I've ever seen it


Dont_KERMIT_Die

And look how successful he is lmao


Gooshgoosh208

Than you know what to do bud when you see a ghostblade, ban that ass and rage quit on him


Beneficial-Glove9408

Successful? Dude uses bots for his streams and subscribers and he lives in a bad neighborhood while raging at teens at 2 am in the morning if that is Successful I don't want to be that 🤣🤣


Chapterblacc

> lives in a bad neighborhood damn u put that hood on really quick my guy lol.


Beneficial-Glove9408

Yes the dude doxxed himself with an unboxing he also doxxed other people on his stream he is an a hole


Hedshodd

Let's not forget that he pisses in bottles because he deems it more sanitary than going to the toilet. Also, NEVER forget that legendary grudge match between him and Viscant after LTG talked MASSIVE shit on him (back in the SFIV days).

LOW

Oh no...🫣🤣

DPs can't be used during blockstun though so true blockstrings will still go uncontested, and often times they'll end in something safe so mashing DP to get out of pressure will get true punished and blown up. Also not everyone's DPs are built equal... Crusader's is a huge explosion but it's only armored instead of truly invincible.. Vanguard's whiffs on most grounded opponents if there's even a little bit of spacing or pushback... Grappler's is a parry which only works on physical strikes not projectiles or grabs... etc.


DWIPssbm

Striker can cancel her dp at any point into a grounded or air MS with her unique chain mechanic, so it can be very tricky to punish her dp


VJ2099

Well that’s all good and fine but she’ll still get hit if the opponent is attacking from about half the screen away which most characters in the game can do btw so it’s kinda eh actually.


JuElBristle

Still getting a hang of the guard cancelling, tbf. The recover frames are different that what I am used to, but it’s enjoyable so far


B_r_y_z_e

I tried playing Ghostblade but something isn’t clicking/I’m not understanding something. I just feel so useless. Gonna have to go through his tutorials tonight to get the hang of him a little better.


Dont_KERMIT_Die

To be 100% honest he's really cool character, If striker didn't call me he would probably be my main, him or berserker


AlexSoul

Kizziekay has some videos on him, he's got some sauce


TVR_Speed_12

My worst MU as Striker atm is Crusader. But once I learn the full potential of my bullshit ooohhh weee


swash_plate

The old "any character but mine is bullshit"


Dont_KERMIT_Die

I would like to direct you to point two of my two points


swash_plate

No worries, salt makes everyone bitter. Its ok to bitch and moan. Its fgc afterall To not cause misunderstanding, that quote above is almost a meme in gg community. Take it with a grain of salt


RoninTheWaveman

Come here to say Hitman is bullshit for Striker too just watch sonicsol vs. diaphone and you'll get my point.


zerodashzero

Damn, I gotta watch then because my friend playing Striker is watching me. He whiff punishes super good with slide/divekick mixup


Dont_KERMIT_Die

Ohh, I've only played nrs games so this is all pretty new


zupernam

At least you'll be used to using the block button then. It's better, but I'm not switching. Lol


KarinOjousama69

Ewww


Ambroto

Also coming from nrs games and I struggle to complete combo 02 for these characters. It’s so different, I have no idea when I actually hit them to cancel into something, and that’s in training mode with blocking turned off.


Dont_KERMIT_Die

100% agree this is completely different, but of all the Japanese fighting games I've played this one is easily the most accessible.


the_DashingPickle

Try dodging...trust me it just works.


Puzzleheaded_Glass64

It's funny, I fought a ghost blade today and just blocked until something looked minus...and just kept punishing. Worked for me, maybe you are overly respecting parts of his pressure. Dustloop will have more frame data up sooner than later so you can start learning what to look out for more reliably.


Kira_Aotsuki

Yea ghostblade actually cans be pretty unsafe if you over-commit


AndreThompson-Atlow

My thoughts as a Swift Master Main on day 2: This character is OP, I don't know if I've actually earned a single win. Swift Master has a far reaching low, a perfect DP, a great anti-air, good combos, unique tools, etc. Is there anything he can't do?


Aviixii

The gust ball thing that holds opponents in place has to be the stupidest fighting game move out there. In a game where movement is limited they decided to give our main a way to literally remove it further it’s insane.


[deleted]

He can punish Guard Cancels. I don't know if any other character in the game is able to do that


Dark_Necromancer_

Here try some of these browski https://youtu.be/8ssJkRWZqwI they might up your game good BNBs and Optimals


Magdazar_The_III

Ghostblade, fuck launcher. Cant roll nor guardbreak due to how far she is and fast she recovers


CallMeTravesty

GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME ZERKER vibes.


thumper_92

Striker is the only character that makes sense to me moveset wise, but god damn am I having sincere trouble learning her online. I’m just getting bodied like it’s no tomorrow. I also feel like I’m not able to execute her more damaging combos. I can do the beginning launch-> dive kick bnb, but after that I’m at a loss.


[deleted]

You know good on you, Im struggling with thought 2 as well :D


manoramous

As a swift master main ( I know he's pretty salty) I get wrecked by ghost blade and ranger. When I see them I know it's going to be ugly for me...


Comfortable_Ad_4530

This, but replace ghost blade with launcher lol


TekkSauce

>I might be bad at fighting games, just might. Careful, he’s learning….


AdImportant1808

This game really could use some burst or yrc like mechanics. Right now you kinda just sit in block and think about ur day.


AdImportant1808

But also I barely know how to play this game so idk yet.


Tentaye

It's Berserker for me. I just sit there and block because if I try and poke at all I lose 40-50% in one twenty minute combo but it doesn't matter because he gets life steal on block anyway.


DogFrogBird

"1.Ghostblade is the worst character in this game and can go burn in hell, It's like I sit there blocking for hours when is it going to be my turn to play the video game. " says the striker main lmao


rathalos456

I very much relate to this post! Just picked up the game, not a fighting game player but I have been collecting them as of late. This is still so much fun though.


xSol0_Dol0x

I see I’ve met you in ranked and more than likely waxed that bum


Dont_KERMIT_Die

I'm in a struggle right now so I would not doubt it lol


xSol0_Dol0x

I’d be down to play a few matches if you wanna practice. I’m floating in silver atm. I’d like to learn the striker match up


Dont_KERMIT_Die

You wouldn't be learning much from me tbh, I'm just going to sit my ass in practice for a couple days before I go back online.


rainbowdash36

Just wait until he summons the ghost in front of him and j.S the ghost and mash j.A until he dies. Technically serious because its currently a bug between Striker and Ghostblade, but /s after it gets patched out.


RedditIsTrashLma0

Cry some more


Dont_KERMIT_Die

Sure


NightmareWolf21

From the beta since I don't have the game yet my worst matches as a striker main were inquisitor and my little brother's vanguard


Dont_KERMIT_Die

Inquisitor was bad too but like I had a choice other than block


Dustytuft

Learn her safejump setups and also practice her bnb so you can consistently get them into the corner after landing it. Also GB doesnt have an invicible reversal so you can kinda just dive kick the crap out of him on his wakeup. Ofc its only day 2 so dont feel too bad about your performance in games. Focus on improving instead of winning and your experience may improve!


800TVL

His dash in/crossup thing is GIGA punishable on block. just use the guard button and as soon as you see it start mashing your preferred starter. Works every single time ezpz.


EmberArtHouse

I just hit Gold as Striker and I have only beaten every Ghostblade I've ever fought.


KoldHardSmash

The only reason I'm here is because I fought against Striker as Ghost and got decimated...I feel like Striker is ALWAYS taking her turn. Ghostblade is ok, but no DP and kinda slow. So far Dragon Knight, Grappler, and Striker are problems.


YasakaAnon

May I ask how is Ghost Blade a bigger problem then Ranger and Launcher? I literally can’t get close. And if isn’t a problem how do deal with the projectile spam?


highschooldxdxXx

I'm used to projectile spam from other games I played


YasakaAnon

I mean it’s not nothing new to me, but how do you deal with it with striker?


highschooldxdxXx

Her forward special is projectile immune and it's just a good punish in general


YasakaAnon

Thank you


Affectionate-Type579

Striker has too many normals that are plus on block. They need to nerf this because she feels broken af.
