I don't use wild throw often enough for it to be a thing.
Although i think its predictable.

Hope you don't mind me quoting these here raven777.
For headphone users that don't want their eardrums destroyed by the videos that have no volume controls.
And Kancho face.

Honestly, Zato is too much for me. In theory, he's the best character, but few people can pull it off. Although, I don't disagree with you; he can absolutely wreck if played properly.

What I do against Zato is wait to see what he does after you're hit with that ground buzzsaw move.
It seems that there's usually a gap around that time where you can get out or do something.

I think the character is justified due to reprogramming and training mode dedication required to excel with him. He's consistently been nerfed since the since the XX series' inception and the number of notable Zato player shave always been in the single digits at most (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
I'll be playing Zato at some point in the future.

Going to try to re-introduce myself to this game. I keep getting sidetracked.
Is there any logistical advantage to either one of these stick layouts:
K H HS
P _ D
vs.
P H HS
K _ D
It feels weird to me to have punch on the bottom, even though from my understanding P is usually weaker than K in a chain sequence and the top is the default. (or did I get that backwards?)

My Zato salt is always strong because it's really hard to learn what to do in the neutral game and if you ever fuck up, the neutral game might be over for the the round, so there are very limited chances to learn.
P at the bottom is the standard arcade layout. It makes sense when you think of it as increasing attack strength starting at P and ending at HS with D being a special/unique button.
Regardless of what layout you use (whatever is comfortable for YOU is always best anyway), I highly recommend this explanation of Guilty Gear's button scheme if you haven't already read it.

Im in a Xrd mood tonight, someone should play me. East coast preferred, PSN DiscoShark
If by "H" you mean S, there's no general advantage between one over the other, besides the first layout being more common (say you want to jump in for someone and save time setting/worrying about buttons) and letting you play the pre-Xrd GG's in arcade. (Arcade Xrd lets you select that second layout and a few others.) Two of the OG's in my city use the second layout because "ST taught me jap should be in the top-left.
If you really are starting from scratch and want to play a particular character, look at what they actually have to do, execution-wise, and see if you can intuit which layout would be more natural for you. Like, if you want to play Faust, you're going to have to plink from the K button to some other button to do his drill cancels. Using K where "jab" would be gives me the choice from plink downward, instead of always upward.

Created a GGXrd lobby in New England #4 called "GAF Time" if anyone wants to play.
Know if there is a skip-turn button, short of hitting O and then re-lining up? I keep trying to spread the love, but never get back in the queue before you ready-up, so I don't get to spectate.

Think that's the way it used to work. Now (X for me) puts you in the afk line-up.
Handy for when you don't want to watch the next match so you can escape.

I guess DPing is pointless since that is clearly some kind of OS.
Safe-jumps all day! If your DP isn't 3 frame (i.e. Elphelt's super), it ain't worth shit!

8 thousand, 9 thousand, jeez that is a lot of games played. I mean I was doing poorly before, but this is definitely picking on the new guy.
Edit: Not going to make excuses, that was enough one sided beatings for the day. Thanks for the lobby and games.

I forgot that was a thing. Not sure how to do it with Ky. GGs
It's a real struggle until you get to the intermediate level. I am no where near there yet but it feels like one of those things that you do a bit of every day until you get there. Also watch videos of good players using your character every now and then and trying to incorporate something they do in your play.
Maybe next time we should set a limit of games, like 10-15 total. Should be enough data to think on afterwards and should prevent hours long sessions where one person is losing continuously.

Nah, I am ok with playing until I don't want to anymore. Looking at high level play is no help right now, when I can't even play at the most basic level. Higher level tactics need a supporting foundation of basic competency which I don't have.

Play Ky or Sol vs him if you want to give him a hard time and do it with a easy to learn character
KoFGCC GGXrd top 4 from yesterday: https://youtu.be/bO2UN-RP7V8?t=3h57m28s
3 of the top 4 are part of the group I play online with, the Ky player is someone who picked up the game 3 or so months ago and it's his first anime fighter.

What about them makes the MU more manageable? Access to DPs? Standard/reliable projectiles?

Ky's normals, and Sol's DP and Gunflame
Why are his normals noteworthy in this MU? Using Faust, have the time my ranged normals get beat by a random drill. How do you discourage Zato from doing drills in the neutral in general? I feel like I'm missing something.

Ky isn't a long lanky bald asshole with huge hurtboxes
Haha. Any idea on how the Faust vs. Zato MU is perceived? I'm not good enough to really know whether I should be doing better, but it seems impossible to not be where a drill is when he does one.
I need to get in contact with the local community.

So what is it about Dust that makes people want to use burst. It's not like you can do a lot of damage from it midscreen.

I think you only really see improvements after you sleep and wake up again.
At least for me I seem to notice small improvements when I play after waking up. I guess the brain re-organizes and puts things together while you're asleep if that makes any sense.
Lostconfused
Member
Sleep and rest is good for things that you've been practicing, like setups or execution or whatever.
But for me to learn, change, I need to play games. Lose a lot of games, get pushed out of my comfort zone, think about what I am doing and why. Games always start when you are still in your comfort zone and it takes a while to push you out the space where you just auto pilot everything to where you start to examine your actions more.

Makes me sad that the southwest (and anywhere that isn't Tokyo and New england) is a ghost town. Only competition I have are my close friends.
Oh, lit me know if you want to join the group.
Who does Daji play now? Still Ram?
Yep. He's basically responsible for all of the Ram 1.1 tech lol. I'd even say he's the only Japanese Ram left but I don't know who Batako and Dei are playing so...
He was also responsible for a lot of Millia's tech before Ram's release, he was the Millia before Nakamora and Woshiege decided to grace the game with their presence.

Guess you have to set computer difficulty to manic to get anything out of it.
I use it to help get execution jitters out of the way. It sucks messing up setups or missing hitconfirms when I need to think about I'm supposed to do while I'm playing.
Yep, that's about the only thing the AI is useful for, an active combo doll to practice your confirms and setups on.I use it to help get execution jitters out of the way. It sucks messing up setups or missing hitconfirms when I need to think about I'm supposed to do while I'm playing.
