@@ManoloRibera070 no lol. Slightly Higher damage doesnt compensate for being this slow and having that big of a hitbox, he needs to be sped up, not a lot. But he needs to be a bit faster. He needs a buff big time.
Yeah, if there is one thing about max that you have to give credit where it is due, it is definitely on him making videos that are actually entertaining to watch. I literally think about him first before any other youtuber everytime a trailer for a big fighting game is released. He's just a fun guy overall. 😊😊😊
I think to make gold Lewis good they need one of two things either a really good poke just to get out of a combo thats plus 2 or 3 frames but not combo able or increase his reach hes to slow to be so close to semi-mid range
As someone who plays Goldlewis quite a bit...all I want is a better jab and a stronger thunderbird(projectile). Not being able to jab your way out of the corner sucks and Thunderbird needs to be feared a bit more(and maybe buff beam super a little too... maybe? I know some people don't care for it, but I like using it sometimes). But that's just what I think.
624HS is the button you're describing. Fast enough start up, decent range, solid damage. And it's +13 on block, like all Behemoth moves, so you've got your wish. The issue isn't his pokes, it's his incredibly slow buttons that make him easy to pressure, and his total vulnerability to keepout.
Thanks for doing this, Max. I truly appreciate it. Goldlewis Dickinson needs buffs badly to compensate for these opponents and overall. Guys, Max is playing these matches to help Goldlewis become a better character. So far no one is really playing him because of these inadequacies he has. Max, thank you for playing him.
I’m noticing that, in most knockdown situations, Goldlewis is unable to continue applying pressure. You’re always chasing after your enemy, giving them opportunities to reset the neutral rather than answer to your offense.
depends on the knockdown. If he gets a far knockdown yeah it's gonna be limited but he has ways of getting knockdowns that give him safejumps/meaties. Don't forget he has thunderbird as an option to pad wakeups as well.
God I tried playing Faust and he's fun...but Jesus, the amount of effort you gotta put into him to win is a WAY more than most of the cast. ...but then again...I kinda suck using Faust so I can't fully blame him for that. 😅
"You're gonna zone me out with some swords.. UNLESS I CAN LAND THIS!!!!" Proceeds to do the slowest backhand punch with absolutely no reach at all and misses completely
I dropped sol and ram for a moment to get Colonel lewis Sanders into vip using behemoth typhoon. . . I was close 3 times. We close. Just believe in the behemoth typhoon
9:55 Max complains that he can't get out of vortex, very little Health left till he makes it come back at 10:07 que break the chains. 10:25 Max headbutts his way to Victory "321 123 I won and I'm pissed." - Max.
There are so many lovable and memorable characters in this series, but I cannot help but love Golddick Lewison the most. Dude's just got character out his big, leather chapped ass!
Its always fun to see people who played Top Tiers from the start who then realize there are other characters in this game who can be dangerous if you play someone else xD The amount of salt from Max vs Bandit Bringer or Axl Zoning is something you wont see very often :3

I know this is unpopular opinion but I personally think Ramlethal is the most fun character in Strive, I know everybody gels with different characters but man she is so fun. Than again I loved her in GGRev2 also so yea lol
He has like, no good normals. Really brave move for Arc Sys to have a bottom tier as their first DLC. But he has such an awesome design that it doesn't matter
@@randominternetsurfersurfin7595 i think it’s more about showcasing the flexibility of the characters, this is the first GG I’ve owned I played +R at arcade but I’m a vet FG player. I like the direction it’s going. Who cares about not having a good normal he’s supposed to yolo the coffin 🤣 a player with good defense and inputs can have a lot of fun with him
@@ernieslanders5857 I'll take Gold Dick any day of the week over a top tier but cookie cutter character. I love GG because it seems like half the characters are playing a completely different game from eachother, but Daisuke and the team make it work
Got a question, is the laser super not good? Haven’t seen as much usage of it. It has the vacuum property so thought it would be good against run away characters but I’m not good at the game so I’m probably missing something.
If Ramlethal wasn't a major problem I would be disappointed she DID declare war on the entire world in her last game and did ridiculous damage with all of her moves including her scariest move the beam super that would fill the screen. Good to see she's still represented and that Gold Lewis can challenge her though.
I don't know man I think Goldlewis is cool as is and it's just that everyone's still learning him. I've seen some pro play with him that made him look godlike.
These videos will keep me warm until Max once again decides to play some strive. Although, the retro fighting games the last couple nights have been pretty dope.
If you’re facing somebody who just keeps doing Bandit Bringer to take more turns, you can just 6P it on reaction. I know it’s a meme “Just 6P it bro” but it does actually work on this move since he jumps into the air after a move he otherwise wouldn’t be able to jump cancel from. Pretty much if you see him jump cancel a move that isn’t jump cancelable, it’s time to 6P the Bandit Bringer lol But I don’t think you can punish after you block it.
I notice you're not using the overhead Behemoth Typhoons all that much. Do you think they have any anti-air utility? Are they really hard to input consistently? I feel like those massive hitboxes have to be good for SOMETHING.
I feel like it's just a strange input, layered on top of the fact that there's 8 behemoth typhoons, each one with strengths and weaknesses that make it really hard to pick the right one for the job... it's easy to gravitate to the one that's okay in a lot of situations rather than mastering each individual move.
Man that Axl vs. Goldlewis matchup is practically unwinnable. That Axl definitely didn't know the Goldlewis matchup and still shitstomped Max lol. Max might've had him if he had a better grasp of Goldlewis' pressure, but still if that Axl knew to use 5P more it basically wouldn't matter. Axl's 5P literally invalidates the whole character lol.
unrelated to this video but i found out you were noticed for a video on Killer Instinct couple months back......i like the game but seeing it being revive would be pretty rough.....i think the best solution is a collaboration between KI and any of these well known games.......Soul Calibur, King of Fighters, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Super Smash Bros X(whichever newest version currently being run)......Soul Calibur probably being the best match up as they share a more similar style for characters designs......at least to get the game a little more known......lol...try to post on your newest video(this video got deleted by the owner)...so fell back to this one
I really like playing with goldlewis. He’s fun and challenging and his moves are named after cryptids
I definitely appreciate that one of his moves is called " Skyfish" , that's a deepcut
I don't see "HEE HOO" or "The gongoozler" in his movelist..
Hopefully Goldlewis will get the buffs he deserves, but me personally, I hope the best for Faust in this upcoming patch
Goldlewis is perfect where he is. High dmg with a low hit combo. What else do you want
@@ManoloRibera070 no lol. Slightly Higher damage doesnt compensate for being this slow and having that big of a hitbox, he needs to be sped up, not a lot. But he needs to be a bit faster. He needs a buff big time.

Winning with gold chad Lewis is a W in my book
At least there’s a patch soon, even though they’re probably not touching the Main Man Goldlewis yet.
I would a rebalance to the tension gauge, so more RCs are performed and less supers performed, it's Guilty Gear game after all.

It keeps me up at night as well
How long until Goldlewis gets added to the intro?
should add a "SHIELD ATTACK" move when Golddick performs a 5H he can hold it and push forward with his coffin as a shield
but Leo steals that move already with no reason being an agile character and all, darn!
