You talking mess about my playstyle bruh?

I want to make a series of video tutorials about how to get into fighting games. Below is a rough draft of what I'm thinking of putting together. I just started it an hour ago, so it has a ton of gaps. I'm hoping folks here will give me feedback on the structure, as well as subjects that should be included, so that it can be a more full presentation for those wanting to learn. Even the main categories aren't set in stone, but it's how I think of things - maybe someone here will have a better breakdown.

There's no real mix up out of roll, lol, I avoided using it for a while, but it's just way too tempting because most people have no idea how to deal with it. My favorite are those who try to challenge Degitalis in the corner.
In the spirit of writing about our characters:
5HS, Roll > Digitalis is a 3 or 2 frames frame trap, if done right, you can't even jump out of it and it's the only roll follow up you should respect. Everything else is feeding on your fear. Roll > Dust should never get you since there's no low option out of the mixup for you to block low, and it comes out so late, it's actually faster to do "Roll > Roll, Grab". You can backdash Digitalis, but keep in mind Millia can option select YRC and punish, depending on the character.
Digitalis is negative on block, but it's hard to punish because of the pushback. If you can Just Defense it(which should be easy), Millia will be about -10 and close enough to punish pretty easily. You can also option select the whole thing by blocking for few frames and doing a fast attack/jump after Digitalis window and you'd be safe from/beat every follow up.
Saw some Millias do 5HS, 2D, Roll > Digitalis in which case you can just safely jump out of it or stuff it with a low profile attack.

Finally got to play some Xrd last night with my VLX. Took Faust into the training room and man it has been a long time since I played on a stick. Are there any updates as to when consoles will be getting 1.1?
I borrowed a friends's PS to play it. It's been two weeks and I've only just reached
Rom.

more like 40ish% but it all depends on if you fought a lot of the optional bosses. you can also miss stuff if you beat rom
What could I miss? I already messed stuff a few times in this game I feel.
Nothing official, but most fans think it's safe to assume it'll be playable before Arc Revo, since Xrd is one of the two featured games, and that tournament's being held on console. (August 15)
Hopefully it drops much sooner though! Half my local scene is pursuing studies, and summer's the best tie to grind out the new stuff.

I do hope it is much sooner. I'd like for a June release if they could manage it. Has there been much footage with the new patch in play? I've been off my youtube game recently.
I've had no shortage to watch. Pretty much any new Guilty Gear uploads that you're seeing out of Japanese arcades on gaming a-cho or Goldenrody's channel is 1.1 (except for this week's KSB event).

Yeah I haven't checked their channels for a month. Well time to do some digging.
If there's still no Dizzy, I'll pick up Jam then. I'm ready to annoy people's ears again.
WACHAOOOOO
I wonder if that means that an Extended style sequel is coming.

baiken 4 lyfe
You know it's coming.
Though I'd love Baiken to come back, she was one of the cooler characters, even if I didn't get how to play her.

Where's my testament? :/ good to hear that Johnny and Jam are getting in I never really played them but more character choice is never bad.

I hope this is true. Both Johnny and Jam are currently on top of the list to main. They just need to add ABA and then I'll be sooooo happy.
Hellshingu

They just need to add the rest of the cast from +R to be honest
Everyone will be happy then. Does anyone know how long it takes them to create characters for Xrd compared to previous entries now?
The rumors were true. 1.1 drops tomorrow.

Wow way sooner than I expected! Glad that arcsys has upped their patching and release game this gen. Are there supposed to be any small tweaks for console release or are the official arcade patch notes what to go off of?
dame thats pretty cool. played tonight for the first time in a while and got poped pretty hard but the game is still a lot of fun. cool to see what the changes are like and get more people playing it online again. pretty bear in the west coast. but there pretty small one though right?
He was never meant to be top tier in the first place.
What nerfs did he get? I remember Nage saying he's still high tier and I-No players still complaining about how un-winnable the Faust match-up is.

As long as Faust's 6P remains the way it is, I-no will always have problems.
Sort of like how 5K was the answer to most of what Johnny could do back when he was around.
Those are mostly damage nerfs, which is fine, he does crazy damage. There are also a lot of buffs there too. Biggest nerf might be his hitbox during hitstun, which was bullshit, none of I-No's proper BnBs worked on a sitting Faust, even things like "2D, Note" setup had problems working on him. >__>
Ah, it wasn't that bad. Her max damage BnB worked with the super jump IAD. That's all I needed.
EDIT: Just to be clear, going by Google Translate they're calling console 1.1 patch 1.05? Anyone checked the PDF at Mdesilva's link to confirm this is more than just a bug fix patch?
I mean- I'm not reeeeally complaining because Faust is still really good, but he got 90% nerfs and buffs he got were for gimmicky/mostly useless moves.
Yeah, it's confirmed.
From the linked site:
From the PDF:
1.1 isn't called out directly, but there's mention of battle balance changes being matched to the current arcade version.

"Buffer reception time for button inputs, forward dash inputs, etc. has been extended."
Is this like "was already in console version but we are rolling it into arcades" or are they actually making easier input buffers for stuff?

I'm ready for my nerfed but still top tier Millia. Too bad I can't abuse digitalis anymore.

I just read the Sin changes on SRK. Pretty excited about 6P being jump cancellable and new counter-hit changes to jump D. I guess with the ground Beak Driver changing Sin players won't cancel the first hit into Still Growing.
The latter (pretty sure).
It really is one of the harder IAD combos in the game, and you'll find it very sensitive to input delay, whether from laggy monitors or online delay (or PS3 slowdown). Best (subjective) advice I can give is to practice until you can do it without looking at the screen and commit that feeling to memory, instead of trying to visualize.
Yeah, from what I read before, everything is getting an input buffer extension from 2f to 3f (except reversal Gold Bursts, which I assume is still 1f).
If it's the same blowback, I'm taking the damage. It would make cancelling into RTL after Beak Driver harder midscreen though.
NA's getting the patch tomorrow

Dang was hoping for today but I can't complain since we are getting the patch much earlier than expected. Did the arcade changes shake up the tiers much or are they pretty similar?
