    "You're not required to have a main to have fun" is what I took from this. As someone who gets easily bored, I thought I had a constant character crisis and wanted to fit in like the others who have a main. But maybe in another perspective, I'm just a multi-character main. Thanks for the content, dude 🫡

    To be honest if you're getting a fighting game you should do it because you're drawn in by at least one character, if there's NO ONE you can immediately recognize as someone you'd like to main then you should choose a different game entirely.

    Back when I didn’t actually play the game and just liked practicing combos over and over, I only used Zato. Once I started playing online, I started using Testament. After around 750 games, I’ve started picking up Leo. He’s so different, but he’s teaching me new aspects of fighting games. The repetition of learning clean inputs with Zato and learning proper spacing with Testament made getting started with Leo easier. With all three characters, I found their designs, themes, and backstories interesting. I enjoy them as characters rather than functions to win with.

  • @Zoltri

    Something I found helped me a lot with narrowing down who to play in Guilty Gear is I just went through the whole roster and did 5 minutes in training mode blind with the character to see how they worked, did 5 matches with them online, fully expecting to lose, then tried to ask questions about what I felt I might be doing wrong, what abilities I feel I'm not understanding, do a little bit of research and then play 5 more matches.
    I just ranked them after that, and it cleaned out around 70% of the roster of characters that just passed the longevity check of is this a character that I can feel some depth behind I want to continue exploring, am I already feeling bored of this character, do I enjoy playing them in general, etc.
    I think its also a good way to get a general grasp on what every character is atleast doing at a surface level. Before touching Ino or Zato, I had no clue wtf they were doing when I fought them, but the general gameplay loop made total sense after spending some time with them.
    I think its also good because if a character really clicks for you, but you feel you're just, way out of your depth with them, its good to know that and you can come back to learn them more another time. Asuka and Milia were both super fun to play to me, but trying to pick them up in an hour, they felt nearly impossible to play well, but its a fun future project to work towards!

    I used to only play a character if they were the best. I played wraith in apex legends & pickachu in smash ultimate. I had an epiphany a couple years back. I realized that playing a character you don't like is like selling your soul. video games are supposed to be fun. Characters are a way to express yourself so why would I express myself unathletically?

      With Pot and Leo it is not that hard to learn their inputs, Leo's DP is one of the best in the game, because you can just crouch block(as you normally do anyway) and then just flick up when there is a gap, it is much faster than doing a DP inputs on sol or ky
      The projectile is not so necessary, so u can start without it
      Pots hammerfall is also quite easy to learn when to use, but in the meantime you can just not use it and see if you like the character at all
      And then, believe me, it will be easy to do the hf

    Playing multiple characters in each game is also the conclusion that I have landed upon! And fortunately with ArcSys and French Bread games it's often pretty easy to figure out who those characters will be for me, as I just look for the puppet character and a couple of complicated or oddball characters.
    Whenever I branch out of the anime fighter space though, I do frequently run into trouble. For a recent example, I spun my wheels for months in SF6, enjoying the game but not really finding a character I loved playing until A.K.I. came out.

  • @chargeheby882

    I always say to friends who are interested in Strive and are first timers to the franchise or at least to 2D fighters:
    For starters, pick either Sol or Ky. My reasoning behind this is most of the skills a beginner acquires through these two will mostly get carried over once they decide to pick characters that are less conventional. I'm even more favoring them to learn fundamentals with Ky first - as he helps you learn more of neutral, spacing and when to use his buttons (esp S1 Ky imho).
    Sol is good for a total beginner too, but I thought someone who's just starting out might feel overwhelmed by the aggression they'd always have to commit to all the time.
    Then once they feel they've learned enough - then they start switching to other characters they perhaps find "cooler" or a better fit to their playstyle, hopefully based on the skills they feel they were able to acquire from spending their first "semester" with Sol or Ky.
    Most people, even streamers say to pick a character who looks the most cool to you. That's fine and all, but I think that'd only apply to people who's had experience from other FG titles. People who already have knowledge of frame data, abare, when to take your turn and when not to, etc.

    • @a_wild_Kirillian
      @a_wild_Kirillian 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Learning fundamentals is nice and all. But what's missing is that people who are new to fighting games don't know why they're playing the game. So the character who looks and feels cool to them is their way to stick with the game while they're discovering.
      Guilty Gear has exceptionally good visual coding so it works well.
      My friend who'd never touched the genre has picked Potemkin just by looks and description and stuck with him despite the difficulties. And now he also picked up HC after learning Potemkin. Feels rule over logic in this case.
      Taking a safe, easy and straightforward character is for people who can't choose.
      I've picked Ky as my first character in all three Guilty Gear entries I played, BTW =D

      On the other hand, I also have a friend who's a frequent tournament goer, plays Tekken. Then decided to play Strive. Never had any 2D experience. Picked up Zato because he looks cool. No prior 2D exp + no idea how negative edge works. Spent months learning and getting a feel for the character. Haven't heard from that friend for a while, hoping they didn't quit lol

    For me character play style barely matter at all. I find myself choosing a character based on how much I like them as a character, not playstyle. I play I-no in Strive because she's the first one I played, and I feel attached to this character, so she's the most fun I have with the game, therefore she's my main. Ky Kiske in strive is cool, I enjoy piloting this character. Millia is my old main from Xrd, I didn't pick her because she's not the same as her counter part in xrd, but I still enjoy playing her because she's still Millia, so she's one of my two main with I-no. That's why I play I-no, and Millia instead of Leo who fits me the most.
    Everyone in big fighting game are designed to be fun to play, so everyone is fun in their own ways, so your attachment with the character matters more than their playstyle.

    Having a main is wildly overrated, been playing for over 10 years and while I've certainly had favorites I think being locked down to a single or a few characters isn't the only way to learn.
    It's not wasted time either even if you don't play someone you've learned since it will give you a more holistic understanding of the game and will lay the groundwork for a lot of matchup knowledge
    Also after you've learned a few characters you'll find it gets easier and easier to develop a basic understanding of new characters once you start playing them

      >"testament is a bottom tier and i dont see nearly as much yapping as i do about zato"
