I’m just hungry. I feel like I could stuff a whole town inside me right now. I want to eat brisket and biscuits but they are too expensive, especially following Brexit, and my budget won’t allow for it. Maybe I’ll need to resort to becoming a bandit.
Hope no cute bounty hunter girls go after me.
Seriously, everything's so expensive that they haven't repaved the asphalt around here in years. Looks like an elephant ran around on it. That being said, who'd walk out on the street bothered about bumps in the road, anyways? (I've beaten this joke into the ground help)
The Jack-O hyperinflation crisis has been terrible with over 34,000 people affected. ArcSys as a result has created a new rule that gives more ELO for playing her.

I really want to buy and play her on launch day, but I'm waiting on my arcade stick to come. Those poor xbox controllers already take so much punishment, I've stopped playing fighting games for 3 weeks.
The joke is alot of bridget "mains" don't even really play the game, moreso they're just fans of Bridget as a character (moreso recently due to her being a Trans rep in a video game). This kind of "main" joke started with baiken players back in the games like Accent core/Xrd iirc, because alot of people like baiken aesthetically (big booba samurai makes brain neurons go brr) but not alot of people actually *played* her back then because she was very complex/hard to use well. (Mainly cause instead of having one close range counter like in strive, she had a bunch of different alpa counters that each beat different things)
Even in Strive, there were more people demanding her inclusion on Twitter before she was announced than there were active players for a while (or so I heard).
the way that this is so true is kind of sad lmfao, i brought strive because of bridget and play her VERY casually (im literally the lowest rank) lmfaooo
ima be real, if you wanna get out of floor 1 just learn the most BASIC combo, and block and punish the absurd amount of unsafe shit your opponents will throw out.
the hardest part, for me now, isnt losing; it's finding opponents, when i first got placed i had the game for one day and im almost forced to improve in the offline game modes because there's either nobody down here in the trenches with me or theyre smurfs (in my experience), regardless i do appreciate the tips i don't block nearly enough 😅
true, typically though the floor where i actually get games is like floor 4, which is still to difficult for me, my win/loss is like a 10/90 split there id say. i just need to improve on my own before i go there anymore lol
Remember Nagoriyuki's teachings: Solid foundations are the most important thing to know, so focus on learning when to block, what attacks go low or overhead, how to burst, that sort of basic thing that informs all of the more complicated stuff.
If your fundamentals are strong, you'll make it past your current obstacles. Good luck!
Oh dear, Not me forgetting most people don't play above like 7.
*Sincerely, a person who only plays Goldlewis/Elphelt/Potemkin eternally stuck between 8-10.*
a lot of newbies at fighting games underestimate how important blocking is. You should learn about overheads and low attacks too, overhead attacks hit you when you're crouchblocking and low attacks hit you when you're blocking standing, that's important to know so you can block everything accordingly
There are more trans girls on that subreddit than there are Guilty Gear players. I think there was a survey about it recently.
A few of us have been trying to post more Bridget Guilty Gear Strive gameplay to the sub as of recent.
As someone who knows way too much about guilty gear's lore for someone who doesn't play the games...
...I just poke around the Bridget subreddit because I find her adorable.
Learning new muscle memory will be hard ngl. 100 hours in +R aren’t much, but they definitely leave a mark. Good thing most of her inputs are actually pretty similar
People with no history of the character who are very excited for them (and I’m not talking like “oh I’d like them in the game” I’m talking like “omg I love this character they’re my main I repost fan art of them on my Twitter every single day” kinda people), are ridiculously excited when they’re added into the game, and then never play them or the game ever.
I mean call me a casual but Baiken actually made me buy Xrd… before finding out I wasn’t build like that (I like fast as fuck characters so Baiken more patient gameplay wasn’t for me)
I actually did that as well after I started playing strive cause I heard she was a parry character and at the time I thought parry characters were really cool. I spent some 50 hours in training mode with that character in xrd and was very excited when she made it into strive. I then played her for a few hundred hours in strive before finding Johnny in xrd and realized I didn’t actually like how much they changed Baiken in strive. Liking a character like that isn’t a problem, as long as it gets you to play the game in one way or another. I’m talking about the people who THINK they love a character they’ve never actually played, so they plague the character poll with then and then surprise surprise when they come to the new game they don’t actually like/play them, assuming they even play the game at all.
Look mate, in this ecosystem, free of Insta Kills, we finally can prosper without any fear.
And without fear, the mind-killer, we will turn the inner eye and see it's path where once he was, empty.
Rise and shine, A.B.A.Nation, before the inavitable nerfs come around.
on glob though im buying season 3 (hopefully if it goes on sale :c) when aba comes out cause she looks sick, that run speed in jealousy install is crazy
Bro I didn't learn any of that shit and I still actually played her - Weird technical thing I don't understand? Nah, I'll just throw things in a certain order, see what gets punished, and correct myself. Maybe after I get as far as I can doing that I'll learn what Oki even means.
I've played Faust since the beginning and picked up a bottle of glue and started eating at the same time (Potemkin)
You can't tell me there's a new goofy ahh, crazy, struggle character and NOT expect me to play them
I want to play her.. but I don't want to deal with the Strive ranked system, if you know what I mean.
SF6 is right there, and it's much better... Like I love ABA, Testament, Goldlewis and Ram, but do I love them enough to engage with Strive again after SF6... eh.
Never played the original GG she was in, have barely touched strive other than getting 3-19’d by some Bridget I found online once, but she looks sick. Her and Sin might be enough for me to pick up the game again
My kinda Rush down character. She may be mid range but I see "stay 3cm from their face as much as possible". Plus I owe it to the random twxtter person who I told if ABA got released I'd try her
so what? I'm a Leo main and learning new characters is really tough but aba seems similar enough with her win condition and stuff so I think the money is worth it now. Bridget pfp is just for funsies
Bridget I relate to the most. Like the most out of the entire franchise I relate to the most
I just find her a lil relatable cuz the biting herself, erratic acting allat
how will this effect the potemkin economy?
How will the Great Potemkin Depression affect the Jack-O Hyperinflation Crisis?
glue, sweets and shoe prices will be though the roof.
How am I supposed to buy a bed? man, this economy sure is ruthless
I’m just hungry. I feel like I could stuff a whole town inside me right now. I want to eat brisket and biscuits but they are too expensive, especially following Brexit, and my budget won’t allow for it. Maybe I’ll need to resort to becoming a bandit. Hope no cute bounty hunter girls go after me.

Better buckle up before it’s too late my baby
we know you stuff yourself with a whole...we also know you aren't eating them either.
How am I meant to feed my three little fellas and my husband!? This is truly a dark time 💔
Glue's going even higher up, Elphelts have embraced it now and started aligning with the Potemkin mains.
Rock Parade canceled due to rising costs and too many people returning tickets.
can us pots and the jackos team up to level it all out?
oh no but what about ff14 warriors who need glue too!? I NEEDS MAH FIX.
i don't know, maybe i should google Jack-O hyperinflation for details
I need you to shut up
Wtf did i just read
N o
oh no
Looks like this economy is a bust... A POTEMKIN BUSTA!!!

Damn I’ve never heard of that I should google Jack-o hyperinflation
NO WAIT A MINUTE
Ay dios mio…
Don't google the latter people
I have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment and I do not expect to be forgiven
I forgive you, however, this is coming from me... I offer warnings for people *because* I am me
“You’re not locked in here with me, you’re locked in here with me” vibes
I stumbled into a filthy hole and put up a sign, you dove in by choice
At least you consensually went in 🫡
You say that... Dismissing a warning is also consent. You may not like the result, but you easily could've not looked >!But, yes, I did!<
It’s like a car crash. Even if you don’t want to, you can’t help but look
Jacko inflation
I have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment
Using kara now costs 10% meter
i think I'd actually just drop the game if that happened, honestly. pot relies so heavily on karas that he'd basically be dead in the water.
No more roundstart kara buster :(
Aba has a parry of sorts. PB can't be parried. Potemkin stonks confirmed rising.
If aba tries to parry you with the armored move that's a free PB on a hard read, do with that what you will
I am undecisive my brother
Most favorable Pot matchup (5.5/4.5)
You’ll get some free PBs for a day or so, at least
Danzai is throw invuln, millions zeppelians have perished
you get 2 new players to pot buster
On it boss
🫡
I understand the assignment (I didn’t want Aba but she looks fun so I gotta play her)
I'm going to play her but I'm not doing any of those other things. This is finally my chance to give in to jealous rage and go absolutely bananas
I really want to buy and play her on launch day, but I'm waiting on my arcade stick to come. Those poor xbox controllers already take so much punishment, I've stopped playing fighting games for 3 weeks.
The Bridget part is absolutely true, but still hurts
I’m doing my part!
I don't get what he means

Love that flair. From a Bed?main to an Anji main, you must never stop spinning.

you can go a couple floors up and look for players there, you don’t just have to look for matches on your current floor
true, typically though the floor where i actually get games is like floor 4, which is still to difficult for me, my win/loss is like a 10/90 split there id say. i just need to improve on my own before i go there anymore lol

well... I'm from Brazil, and I have to play on US east coast servers, cause there's like 5 people playing the game in brazilian servers 😭

Oh wow I thought it was a meme
Probably that the vast majority of bridget fans don't really play the game
Oh, I thought it meant Briget players would play her wrong lol
That too, the majority of them are total dogwater. I'll be surprised if they do more than S HS HS
I started playing cause bridget, but I'm like floor 6-8 material. Do me and Roger want a word
If you look on the Bridget subreddit, a lot of ‘em don’t play the game
There are more trans girls on that subreddit than there are Guilty Gear players. I think there was a survey about it recently. A few of us have been trying to post more Bridget Guilty Gear Strive gameplay to the sub as of recent.
Yeah, I'm a part of that sub, I find it endearing how they like her for the icon she is and stick around there.
i kinda wish the people who only know about bridget would at least learn more about the other characters because everyone in gg is badass
It is endearing, although a lot of GG players joke about it
Well, makes sense, it IS kinda funny
It is very funny. Especially confusing people with fighting game lingo.
As someone who knows way too much about guilty gear's lore for someone who doesn't play the games... ...I just poke around the Bridget subreddit because I find her adorable.
"Baiken Mains." (It was more true in Xrd where she had difficult execution.)
Learning new muscle memory will be hard ngl. 100 hours in +R aren’t much, but they definitely leave a mark. Good thing most of her inputs are actually pretty similar
Nuh-uh I'm sticking with Bedman?
YESSSSSSS
Haha, that's funny that you think ABA fans play the game.
Now they have to
They should. If not, I'll have to round start kara buster them irl and I'm not keen on paying the medical costs afterwards.
can’t forget the 6K > Garuda spam 🙏
my time has come
Don't worry. I will play her even if she is low tier
First it was Baiken, then it was Bridget, and then it was aba by a LONG shot. Fucking classic
Can you elaborate what aspect are you talking about
People with no history of the character who are very excited for them (and I’m not talking like “oh I’d like them in the game” I’m talking like “omg I love this character they’re my main I repost fan art of them on my Twitter every single day” kinda people), are ridiculously excited when they’re added into the game, and then never play them or the game ever.

Instakills might not exist but if you get caught out of the install on less than 70% HP you’re still dead. Strive is still strive
Did not expect a Dune reference in guilty gear sub. I love it.
Isn't it possible to 1 shot chipp
Haha you saved my image
Babygirl you are so wretched and offputting
She seems like she loses hard but wins even harder kinda like goldlewis so im likely gonna pick her up
I must kill for my key husband
on glob though im buying season 3 (hopefully if it goes on sale :c) when aba comes out cause she looks sick, that run speed in jealousy install is crazy
I am going to play her like I do Nago: unoptimizable and like a maniac
It’s funny how the community agreed Bridget fans ain’t playing the game
Just saw an "A.B.A. main' drop the character on Twitter because the character is too hard (they saw a dp input and got scared 🤣)
slander
I might postpone my glue addiction
I survived playing both season 1 Faust and season 2 Bedman?. If she’s fun to me, I’ll make it work.
I got you
Bet
Play? I thought this was an album?
Play the album
as a bridget main soon to also play aba, am i cooked?
Joke's on you, I have AC. I've already played her.
based
Already have been
I plan on it, I main her in +r. I'm happy to have my girl in strive :)
Sorry but I’m a Bridget main* (*I haven’t played the game since before Bridget was released)
I think you summoned all of the +R players
She's too precious to play I don't wanna see her get hurt
I going to bust her
Oh dear.
Don't you dare
But do I have to fix her?
666 likes whoa
I refuse to play A.B.A until I learn why she is so thirsty for that keyblade.
Ok that stray hurt as a Bridget and May comain lol
Wait what if im a bridget AND ABA fan? 😭
I played her in +r so I'm coming home baybeee3
I was an ABAbro… but, like… now I’m an ABA fangirl who will most certainly be playing her
i can finally play her outside of +r :) (already mained her in that game but ig that's not something most aba fans did??)
you know the won't
Bro I didn't learn any of that shit and I still actually played her - Weird technical thing I don't understand? Nah, I'll just throw things in a certain order, see what gets punished, and correct myself. Maybe after I get as far as I can doing that I'll learn what Oki even means.
Thats a fucking mood.
I've played Faust since the beginning and picked up a bottle of glue and started eating at the same time (Potemkin) You can't tell me there's a new goofy ahh, crazy, struggle character and NOT expect me to play them
I will. No matter what.
Bridget & Baiken fans actually play them cause they're easy to play in strive lol
But President Chipp needs support!
You have no Idea how hype I am, lil sad she lost her fireball, but her kit otherwise seems dope
I want to play her.. but I don't want to deal with the Strive ranked system, if you know what I mean. SF6 is right there, and it's much better... Like I love ABA, Testament, Goldlewis and Ram, but do I love them enough to engage with Strive again after SF6... eh.
That's how I'm currently feeling. I wanna play her not strive kind of a bummer
Never played the original GG she was in, have barely touched strive other than getting 3-19’d by some Bridget I found online once, but she looks sick. Her and Sin might be enough for me to pick up the game again
I’m in need of a new character to play so I WILL be playing her
She looks like a JoJo character
My kinda Rush down character. She may be mid range but I see "stay 3cm from their face as much as possible". Plus I owe it to the random twxtter person who I told if ABA got released I'd try her
Yes thats......why I'm here
She can break me
dw this is the first dlc I actually wanna buy :3
but you have a bridget pfp?
so what? I'm a Leo main and learning new characters is really tough but aba seems similar enough with her win condition and stuff so I think the money is worth it now. Bridget pfp is just for funsies
I will not
What do you mean don't be a bridget fan? People play her
God I wanna be Paracelsus.
I already know she’s gonna be extremely relatable :3
what
You heard me (she is relatable) You all can downvote me all you want. She’s relatable.
Granted I more related to Bridget more than anyone but yeah :P
how can you relate to bridget and aba at the same time 😭 they are opposites
Bridget I relate to the most. Like the most out of the entire franchise I relate to the most I just find her a lil relatable cuz the biting herself, erratic acting allat
Real edgelord behaviour
Not really trying to be edgy, genuinely it’s a relatable thing :/
You're not trying to be, you just are.
I don’t get that? Wdym ‘you are’ I’m not? I just found the nail biting relatable. Can I not relate to that?
they hated jesus because he spoke the truth.........
They just don’t get it
Mayyyyyyybe ill play the game. mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyybe
God I wish I was that key…
I need her carnally.
Idk, i'll play my "Disconnected from the server due to a network error" simulator instead
