Here we are with your Tips and Tricks guide for Testament in GG Strive! Sorry it took a bit longer than I thought to get it out but better late than never I suppose! As always covers a wide variety of topics, and there is timestamps all over the video so skip ahead to whatever makes sense for you! If you could drop a like on the video, it truly and honestly helps immensely, thank you!
You definitely make some of the most beginner friendly and easy to understand guides on GGST. I definitely feel like giving Testament a serious try after watching this one.
Next on the channel, time to talk some DnF Duel! My thoughts of the game after the 2nd beta honestly left me much more impressed than after the first one for a variety of reasons . After that, YES Ash crimson saga video is coming before Rugal launches! And Rugal gets the royal treatment when he drops in terms of combos and guides!
I definitely need your take on DNF. Seems cool but like… cool enough to dedicate my life to another fighting game again? Only Rooflemonger can tell me. I trust no other man.
Long time Fighting game fan here just trying out strive cause of steam summer sale. The second I tried Testament on training mode it was love at first sight, they became my favorite fighting game character of all time after like 3 online matches. Now I have to get used to a whole new franchise and take this video very seriously if I wanna play with them lol
This is a very awesome guide as usual! The thing that stands out to me the most is Testament putting the fast RC to good use by sending out the crow and teleport at the same time to continue pressure off a crossup!
I've been trying out Testament while looking for a main to settle on and I've watched a few videos like these, but they commit the cardinal sin of assuming the viewer knows all the specific mechanics. You don't, and I appreciate that a lot, this is the first testament video I've seen that explains the stain state at all, not to mention you go the extra step to explain why it's useful.
Roofle! I JUST started playing GGST (late to the party I know), i'm an old head street fighter player and my friends talked me into getting the game since it was on sale. I always come to your channel first for guides and this one smacks as always! Thank you for all the hard work
Nice timing! Directly after the DnF Beta :D As always, you make the best guides for specific characters! It is so much more enjoyable to play the characters with your guides! :D
Thank you friend, likes actually help big time! Especially since lately only a tiny fraction of subscribers are actually getting notifications of new videos, so likes help put the video out there in the greater YT search engine
@@rooflemonger Make sure to ask subs to hit the bell too so they get notifications! No shame in having one of those little animations showing a mouse clicking subscribe+bell near the start of the vid
@@soleil2947 I never wanted to do that but honestly at this point I might have to. I have no idea why now after so many years all of a sudden like 5% of the subs are getting notifications now
@@rooflemonger Fair warning, there will be a small and very vocal minority that complain about this sort of thing. But they're always a *very small* demographic and 13-17 years old (less likely to throw you any cash), so it really doesn't matter at all. TH-cam gets more draconian every year so do what you have to in order to keep this channel alive! You're the best in the business but undervalued by the platform.
Well the next thing for Strive is season 2 is anywhere from 1-2 months away. After that happens I will do a big refresh on many characters and looking to do stuff for characters that haven't got any attention yet.
Now playing Potemkin I was having a rough time against Testament. In particular just a lot of "What about my armour?!?!!" situations that were REALLY confusing me and.... that's what that stain state does, huh? Thought it was just for the teleport.... Hmmmm I also had the impression that raw Crow pierced right through Hammerfall a bunch of times too but could be just me. Once you're confused, your mind just keeps spinning
It does have the disjointed hitbox like stand HS yes! However its incredibly slow, like double the startup of stand HS basically, making it realistically harder to use is most situations
People make such a big deal out of those gaps between Kicks and Sweep. Did you know that Nago is the same? And his 6K (his main cancel out of 5K) moves him closer to you, yet not a single soul ever dared to throw me or do a reversal between those two hits.
Shermie already has one, these kinda vids take longer to do than anything else i make though so I can't exactly crank them out. Rugal will get one, and after the balance patch some other characters will too.
I been having fun with them when I play. Now I finally have a 3rd main. I thought it'd be baiken but testament is much more my style. I-no, Jack-o and Testament are my 3.
Roofle, what is the current state of guilty gear ? I see so many people complain about the balance of this game and how there is such a difference between the top and bottom tiers. I want to pick it up solely for testament but if the game isnt fun i dont wanna spend the money lol
The only overprivileged characters who need to be toned down are Leo, Ram, Sol and May. Every other character has some degree of bullshit factor but not in a way which is detrimental to the game's balance and enjoyment, all the contrary (Happy Chaos might be an exception, he is not broken per se but he is incredibly obnoxious to fight). Millia is a personal thing for me, she is not overprivileged or busted but i hate her with my guts because her setplay denies interaction altogether. A minor nerf to her jump-ins would solve the problem but its not really needed. Id say buy the game, its really good and really fun.
Well its not all time great or anything but I think balance is pretty decent. There is certainly lower tiers like goldlewis/anji right now but we got Season 2 around the corner in a couple months and things will only improve from there imo.
They don't wanna support the community by adding rollback, so I am done supporting the game. About as simple as that. If there's any news ill cover it cause im a news guy but for game coverage that is about that.
Ya everyone called testament he and him including dizzy his closest friend but that got changed in strive idk why but there still cool as fuck so I don't care
Honestly, it's just another case of the progressive skin suit. This character is recognized as Testament by other characters but comes off as a completely different character in cosplay. I'm so sick of this. God forbid an androgynous man be allowed to just be an androgynous man, and vise versa.

I beg to differ. Thanks for the guide!

An absolutely awesome looking character that has been so fun to play and now the secondary to my I-no. Thanks for the guide!

Huh, this wasn't on my sub page? Thankfully I saw you posted this on twitter. Commenting and liking to give it some buffs in the algorithm! 👍🏻
bless you, youtube is barely notifying subs or showing the videos to subs lately and its very distressing honestly
Yea same problem here. But I got notified on the first Test video but not this one.
Testament is rad as hell, rocking the new look and rolling their opponents right into the grave!
just brought the game last nite and my main is testament since guilty gear x what a time to be alive lol
Nice timing! Directly after the DnF Beta :D
As always, you make the best guides for specific characters! It is so much more enjoyable to play the characters with your guides! :D
I've been waiting for this this gonna be exactly what I needed
"Another not sexy move 6k"
*throws out a very sexy kick*
Great guide! Testament is definitely my favorite of Strive's S1 DLC cast in both play style and general design.
I go out of my way to like your videos, you put so much work into them 🙏

I really wanna be able to play Testament purely for the vibes I gotta learn this
stupendous guide! (as usual). Thank you
Amazing tips and tricks guide as always, do u think u could do a ramlethal one? I'd love to hear your tips for her
Well the next thing for Strive is season 2 is anywhere from 1-2 months away. After that happens I will do a big refresh on many characters and looking to do stuff for characters that haven't got any attention yet.
@@rooflemonger can't wait for all of that
Excellent work 💪 love your tips and tricks, and loving Testament 👀
One time i dodged a stand slash with the teleport and won the round (not intentionally of course!) hahah
Played the beta a couple hours against a very good pc friend ( of course they’ve had it a year ) … he complimented my testament so here I am 😂
I dont have this character, haven't played Strive in a couple weeks, and will be watching every minute of this.
Another big guide bless.
Now playing Potemkin I was having a rough time against Testament. In particular just a lot of "What about my armour?!?!!" situations that were REALLY confusing me and.... that's what that stain state does, huh? Thought it was just for the teleport.... Hmmmm
I also had the impression that raw Crow pierced right through Hammerfall a bunch of times too but could be just me. Once you're confused, your mind just keeps spinning
This video is gonna take my Testament to the next level. I’m like them more than Baiken at this point.
That reversal is amazing too. I wouldn’t of thought of that at all.
Great guide thanks :)
This character screams "I have a very broken glitch that no one knows about"
Rooflemonger is my goat
I used the TP invincibility to dodge a Ramlethal blade toss. Won me the whole round cuz they couldn't get me to the wall for the detonation.
2h I heard is good to just place out because it's slow but disjointed hitbox and like zero recovery
It does have the disjointed hitbox like stand HS yes! However its incredibly slow, like double the startup of stand HS basically, making it realistically harder to use is most situations
as a testament main: i am crying that bridget does all of this but better
good video tho
People make such a big deal out of those gaps between Kicks and Sweep. Did you know that Nago is the same? And his 6K (his main cancel out of 5K) moves him closer to you, yet not a single soul ever dared to throw me or do a reversal between those two hits.
Both 5k and 2k into 2d have a throwable gap/ reversal gap. Not only 2k!
Really? I tested it against myself and I couldn't unless I really botched it lol
@@rooflemonger yup! check dustloop aswell if you'd like to. It's said there
6:49 the overhead version does more damage in combos
it depends, most combos it does the same actually. It matters how they touch the ground if it does or doesn't.
@@rooflemongertrue, just thought it was worth mentioning. I try to end in H version unless only S will hit anyway
Are you gonna do this for the rest of Kof Cast? Keep the great job.
Shermie already has one, these kinda vids take longer to do than anything else i make though so I can't exactly crank them out. Rugal will get one, and after the balance patch some other characters will too.
and so begins my 1khr main of testament
I been having fun with them when I play. Now I finally have a 3rd main. I thought it'd be baiken but testament is much more my style. I-no, Jack-o and Testament are my 3.
Fuckn same lol
😊
11:00 why does far slash have a hurtbox and not h slash? as in, why would the devs program it that way? balance?
arcsystemworks please please guilty gear strive in switch
Roofle, what is the current state of guilty gear ? I see so many people complain about the balance of this game and how there is such a difference between the top and bottom tiers. I want to pick it up solely for testament but if the game isnt fun i dont wanna spend the money lol
The only overprivileged characters who need to be toned down are Leo, Ram, Sol and May. Every other character has some degree of bullshit factor but not in a way which is detrimental to the game's balance and enjoyment, all the contrary (Happy Chaos might be an exception, he is not broken per se but he is incredibly obnoxious to fight).
Millia is a personal thing for me, she is not overprivileged or busted but i hate her with my guts because her setplay denies interaction altogether. A minor nerf to her jump-ins would solve the problem but its not really needed.
Id say buy the game, its really good and really fun.
The game is pretty balanced, there's a reason most of the top player's tier lists have the worst characters at B tier. They all are pretty busted.
Well its not all time great or anything but I think balance is pretty decent. There is certainly lower tiers like goldlewis/anji right now but we got Season 2 around the corner in a couple months and things will only improve from there imo.
Woahhh when did testament get added? He was my main in xx :D
He was around 28th for the season pass and the 31st
next character in gg strive dizzy please
are you sure 5K into 2D doesn't also have a gap in it
Are you done with dragon ball roof?
Given that it's been like 7 months or something since he last posted... that's a good guess sadly.
They don't wanna support the community by adding rollback, so I am done supporting the game. About as simple as that. If there's any news ill cover it cause im a news guy but for game coverage that is about that.
why did they put me in a video game?
I imagine after this video you were a master of they/them pronouns 😁
What does 6p mean In simpler terms? I'm autistic...
forward + punch
Thank you. 🤦🏻♂️ this mother trucker is so confusing to me. But I wanna play testament.
Go to sleep bro
one day
Wasn't Testament a *male* in previous installments???
They've always been androgynous, but the writers decided that they'll be fully agender in strive
Ya everyone called testament he and him including dizzy his closest friend but that got changed in strive idk why but there still cool as fuck so I don't care
He's still male now (see the in-game database, which starts out by saying "Testament is a young man"); men are allowed to be feminine.
Honestly, it's just another case of the progressive skin suit. This character is recognized as Testament by other characters but comes off as a completely different character in cosplay. I'm so sick of this. God forbid an androgynous man be allowed to just be an androgynous man, and vise versa.
@@_nimmo He was a mix of masculine and feminine before. Now he comes off as an under age girl in cosplay.
could you make a video talking about how to beat testiment? Tests stuff feels unbeatable.
