As a Faust main I think I speak on behalf of my fellow doktors that it's not about winning, we just want to see how much chaos we can cause and it's incredibly fun
My brother got me into this game a few months ago and just plain out asked me who I wanted to play on the character select screen, I picked happy chaos and he said "not him, anybody but" and thats how I started to main happy chaos
@@HazeEmry At the time I had seen no gameplay I knew the more recognizable characters like sol, ky and axl but I had never seen chaos before. Afterwards I watched his trailer and funny scenes from the story mode which solidified him as my main before I even started playing him.
I love how all of these descriptions are literally just the characters themselves: Sol just slaps shit until things die, Leo is literally Unga Bunga, and Faust is literally held together with string and prayers
As a Faust (and somehow almost always low-to-mid tier in every fighting game) main, it feels refreshing to know that people know how much effort we put in to be un unpredictable little gremlin. I live for those games where the opponents just have no idea to deal with the funny doctor man, so they get surgically sliced to ribbons by a character that almost looks like he doesn't know what he's doing himself.
As a faust main i can say you left the most important part of the character out, we are a hivemind with no mind, we all fight with no idea of what we are going to do next but when put one faust main against another we will proceed to make a weird kinda dance that is completely incomprehensible to anyone else.
everytime I've faust v fausted one of two things happen we mash 6p on roundstart and keep laughing at the clash we agree to get as many items on the screen as possible.
8:30 he doesn’t just say the names of his moves, he’ll just say random Japanese words during his rekka sometimes. He’ll just say “sushi” “sukiyaki” (another Japanese food) “banzai” Sometimes it makes more sense, and he’ll say “mune” and “ashimoto” which means chest and feet respectively, since that’s where he’s hitting. Still hilarious, and I love the victory line “go be a ninja”
Boutta start maining nago fr. I main Leo and when i was fighting my friend who is way better than me he said i should learn which of his moves are punishable on block. I didn't care and proceeded to win 4 out of 21 games.
Yeah. Its so scarely accurate. I look at the combos and shit and I think: Meehhh I dont need that, or what the fuck is that?? I won't take an actuall effort to.. learn what is.. plus on block, why should I??
I've said that multiple times as Faust and was serious about the question. "Plus on Block" is insanely rare on Faust and most of his moves are straight-up minus, so I never understood that term.
May main here Anyway, do you guys think agressive panting or screaming is the more fun expression of terror? Screaming is the classic, and I do agree it has it's charms. Due to screaming bringing out the individual's voice much more, you really get that sense of uniqueness every time you hear it. It's like a classical symphony, and every scream you hear is like a new interpretation. On the other hand, I've really started to appreciate panting lately. It conveys this sense of being weak, like you don't even have the energy left to scream, so you let your breathing do all the work. It really says a lot about how terrified someone is when they focus more on getting away from you than on expressing said terror. So honestly, I can't decide which one I prefer. Oh sorry, we were talking about Strive mains, right? Yeah, I think the shoes are an important part of the outfit.
You have to remember the thing about us Potemkin mains, we all share the same brain cell. We've accepted that this one brain cell is the only one all of us will ever have and it will only ever tell us the answer to the only question we all have: Can I Buster this? and the answer is always yes

As a Millia player I solemnly swore to dedicate my life to the mix, the whole mix and nothing but the mix. It doesn't count as a win if the H-disk is not out!
As a Nagoriyuki main, you hit the nail on the head. I just do things, and they just work, and I like that. I don't necessarily know how or why it works, and I frankly just don't care enough to try and do research on stuff I'm actually "supposed" to do, because thinking is hard.
Having played Ram since Rev, I was happy she was high tier in this game. Then I remembered how much bitching came with that and I was no longer happy. If I'm gonna be a villain because I like Ram, I might as well play a damn good one. Also I'm fighting for my fucking life to beat these slanderous foot fetish accusations.
As a Millia main, you don't actually want to base your spring farm around turnips. They are pretty low cost, but they have much worse profit margin compared to other plants. At the start of your farm, you actually want either potato or green bean for best profit.
As a Faust main, you forgot one crucial detail; Most player would say we are on massive copium support, when in reality, us losing so many match-up so hard our life force get sapped away and we are all on life support to not just instantly die on the spot when our big brain combo does as much, if not less than most characters bread and butter combo
I-No players force you to RPS in their (our 😉) favor. If you don't RPS you get opened up eventually, but if you do odds are you're not gonna enjoy the result. Single player gaming all day baby.
There are two kinds of I-no players; Lab monsters with knowledge of every single little thing there is, or depressed mains tryna figure out how in the hell they gunna deal with Sol (and generally play neutral while keeping gorillas at bay and punishing their random ass dps). Like don't get me wrong, the shit I get with her if I block a dp is disgusting, so why is the Leo doing a fucking dp after his + frames/cancel window ends? Do you have a death wish of somethi- oh wait they do.
The Goldlewis section made me laugh. I'm a Goldlewis main who actually believed the propaganda at first but as I got better I was like wait a fucking second...
@@senritsujumpsuit6021 Yes... So would any XX character? What's the point lol? The game's power level is higher, I literally cannot imagine trying to deal with Zappa, XX Testament, XX Baiken, XX Jam, XX Dizzy or hell, even a "lower" tier like ABA or Kliff in Strive
@@senritsujumpsuit6021 Again, pointless comparison, different game, different system mechanics, different movement options, absurdly different frame data and gattlings, literally every single character in GGST that was also in +R would easily lose to their +R version. And it's not "changing the hit values" (I assume hitstun and damage maybe?) that is gonna balance it.
"Finishing combo with a super into a wallbreak would definately kill" Foolish mistake, clearly you dont actually play Millia if you think anything like that would kill
"You're either an asshole or a cow, pick your poison" Alternatively, you're a shitposter who's favorite BlazBlue character is Yuki Terumi or Hazama, and your favorite Persona 4 Arena character is Adachi. "Sarcastic chaotic villain" is your spirit animal.
As a Leo main, the gambling part is true, but its more of the testosterone he makes you let out. When you play him the goal is to assert dominance, become the alpha and earn the right to mate. Makes you feel like a spartan from 300.

I used to be a May main, but I switched to Faust to repent for my sins. Jokes aside Faust just feels amazing to play with for me and I love how he has so much random tech. I don't care that he's not that good in this game I just want to have fun and do the best I can do with this character, talking with people who also play Faust is fun as well.
My brother, you are a traitor to the cause… You shall be punished for your treason. Jokes aside, it does get pretty stale playing as May. But I’ve been playing her for too long and I’m just too comfortable to leave
@@Papabandana goddamn, king, nice! I also love Faust, although I’ve only played every character very shallowly. Haven’t found the time yet to sink more than an hour into any character. Any advice on learning Faust?
@@Lars_Hermsen utilising items is probably the most important thing to learn right off the bat as you’re gonna be abusing them no matter what level you happen to be at right now
As a certified player of most of the DK crew I can confirm that yeah we'll use our worst option every time because it's funny when it works. I want them to add Johnny to strive so I can stray away from the gorilla gang. Cause being a good Johnny (even though he was definitely the best character in xrd) does actually take character knowledge, he's not an easy character to pick up but he is strong when he's learned well and I miss that.
I wasn't too sure about what you were saying for Anji, but the "telling your opponent how to punish Anji and immediately counterplaying it" bit is the most spot on thing ever. The biggest Anji meme is letting everyone believe he's gorilla.

@@MysticPyroFreak I’d say so, but zato is really nice with his story, I’d argue he’s more tragic than Faust Let’s just all agree that as a character may is hilariously bad, writing wise I mean
@@p.k6472 One thing I'll give Zato's arc credit for is that he more or less is back where he started being someone's underling. And I find that irony of him going through everything he went through, only to realize "You know what? Being someone's underling is fine", hilarious. I mean, yeah. He's fine with it only because it's Millia, but still. Aside from that, I personally felt Zato worked better as a posthumous character and that Eddie should have remained the one in control. To each their own, tho!
Gonna be honest, I'm usually super iffy on these stereotype videos. A lot of them just devolve into the creator being really toxic over the charatcers they don't like. This video genuinely has heart to it and feels more like a fine roast rather than burnt charcoal black. Also i'd like to give a shoutout to the massive Bi/Pan awakening Testament caused in Strive.
As a Ram player I have to say, the reasons I play Ram is: 1- She’s cute 2- She’s cool 3- Big Sword no. 1 4- Big Sword no. 2 5- She’s fun af to play 6- Hamburger
I feel like there is a separate type of Happy Chaos main that play him because of his character in the story. I picked him up day 1 as a secondary because he's just such a goofy and lovable guy
Dirty Axl main here is concerned how you knew about my diet and my maiden situation... Fun fact, I picked up Axl specifically to annoy my friend, and the rest is history. I concur that confrontation is scary.
fellow Axl player here, equally called out by the laundry chair and diet thing. however, I managed to find a maiden of my own! like the video said, Axl mains are usually pretty cool. you'll find her/him eventually!
As someone who has played GGST almost three days and is a HARDCORE TESTAMENT MAIN you have sorely underestimated how many of us are former emo kids who read vampire smut and have raven and skull statues on every flat surface in our house and play Testament because we want to be them more than we want to continue living, please god tell me I'm not the only one
Goldlewis main here, and I thoroughly believe the tendency to downplay Goldlewis is because three of his hardest Matchups, those being Gio, Chaos and Sol, Are INCREDIBLY common characters online
I've talked to NotPichu, one of the best Jack'O's in the world, and almost word for word they were like that, just a depressed guy trying his best to speed through inputs until he gets slapped by Hotashi
"Oi, did you see that command grab?? I love command grabs, they're my FAVOURITE!!" ..."Oi, did you get the broom closet ending?? The broom closet ending was my FAVOURITE!!" If this was an intentional reference, I hereby offer you oral.
As a nago main, I was watching that nago gameplay and kept thinking "Kamuriyuki after the second hit of far slash, then fukyo backwards, DO IT ITLL WORK", so yes, we definitely like making up ways to mix people up and put them back under pressure. It's why I still love playing Nago.
Ok I had to laugh at the Faust section. I'm a believer hook line, and golfclub. only thing it's missing is no mention of the people who play strictly for TEH FUNNIEZ
As a Zato main, I was confused why people always run away from me. Now I know. Also explains why I was surprised when you claimed Faust is the worst character.
Sol: SLASHSLASHSLASHSLASH- Ky: STUNEDGEFONDUARCSTUNEDEG- May: TOTSUGEKITOTSUGEKITOT- Chipp: WOAHSPEEDBETABLADEGAMMA-oh I died… Milla: THEFLOORISLAVAANDIAMQUEEN Potemkin: Excuse me sir/ma’am I would like to give you a hug if you don’t mind just let me get close thank you. Axl: SOCIALDISTANCINGSOCIALDISTANCING- Leo: *actual gorilla sounds* Ramlethal: Gun, and if that don’t work, use more dp. Faust: Many consider him low tier but you don’t care and I respect that, also square one. Nagoriyuki: Holy fuck how the hell did you kill that fast?! Anji: FUJINFUJINFUJIN- Zato: Actually no joke they scary. Giovanni: idk, I guess you use the cross up a lot? I-no: you mix people more than a mixer. Goldlewis: you looked at his character guide and probably thought he’s op. Jack-o: You crouch at any opportunity, you firmly believe that if you have no idea what you’re doing, your opponent won’t. Happy chaos: either you’re a ballsy chaos who gets in there, or you’re one of those who stays far away and spam the steady aim move. Baiken: You spam gun whenever the opponent does anything, and you like huge melons, I don’t blame you tbh. Testament: honestly I have nothing for them.
Us I-No players wouldnt mix so hard if it wasnt our only option Millia players mix for shits and giggles, we mix because we lose if we dont We are not the same
Got Strive recently just because I liked all the memes around Chaos and only really played Tekken and my last anime fighter was Tenkaichi Budokai, so, I was a little confused going from Sol in the dojo having HS to only having GUN. Needless to say I only beat like 2 of the enemies in arcade and got 14 losses, but I'm having a blast.
I once finished a game by doing beyblade 3 times. They blocked the first two, but they didnt expect the third. So yes, the Nago stereotype is correct as far as I am concerned
Just ran into a Nago who popped blood rage in corner I as a I-no main, proceeded to absolutely obliterate the poor guy, I feel like nago mains need to pay more attention to their rage instead of just popping it when low
strive is the first fighting game ive ever played, picked it up like four days ago. ive been playing may because i liked her hat. please god what did i walk into. the dolphin combos. the damage numbers. big fish. i just wanted to play piano and chill but ive unknowingly trapped myself in the lower levels of hell and i cant find the exit sign anywhere
All the characters I’ve considered and why Faust: gambling. Item toss is dope Giovanna: aww doggo Jacko: I like pumpkins Baiken: that grapple looks dope
As a may main, at first I just wanted to hit people with an anchor because I thought it would be funny. Now, 100 hours later, I worship Satan himself and make blood sacrifices to ensure that my dolphin continues to listen to my commands and doesn't eat me alive.
As someone who switched from Day 1 Chaos to Jack-O. I would say the feeling of control is easily the best feeling ever. I really like breaking my wrists when doing pressure and get pissed when pot PBs me mid pressure because I destroyed my hands so badly.
The reason I play ky is because he seems like the "sword in one hand, spell in the other" Architype. And I'm a big fan of that. Plus I'm pretty much brand new to fighting games, so he looks like a good all-rounder learning tool.
me, who never plays fighting games, singling out Faust as my starter main cuz i like his funky vibes: *couldn't care less about how effective he is i just like my spindly Creature of a man*
I have been playing Strice for around 2 Weeks now, picked up Nagoriyuki as a main because, 1: A youtuber said he'd never be able to do it, so challenge accepted, 2: He's really cool, and 3: I like the feel of his gameplay. And already Strive is probably my favorite fighting game I've ever picked up. I'm already feeling myself getting into that Nagoriyuki main stereotype. I found myself on one of those websites that had a bunch of information on how characters (on accident, mind you. I was looking for his LORE) and their moves works, figured it was too much of a bother and just played the game. Also, Giovanna is my secondary cause she's really fun and really solid. And Jack-O has my favorite move animations in the whole game.
as a ky player i really love stagger pressure and stun dipper RC but i also enjoy working on a really clean defense. Idk i just think good defense is sick af
As someone who switched from testament to May because I was tired of getting "oooops'd" to death. This is completely true. I want everyone else to feel my pain
I just got into strive and I play chaos because of his personality and the fact that his play style is so unique and fun (also I’m scared of people and frame one full screen panic damage is great for my level) and it’s so weird that this goofy theatre god has such a toxic main base. When he’s god tier for memey bullshit how do you sweat swamp funny theatre homie

“His counter super is almost instant, making it a good option when at a disadvantage or in blockstun.”

Mood, I'm not into feet I just like ram because she has little creature energy
I just like how her 2D is the equivalent of a child spinning in a box
concerning that last line, welcome to the life of a juri main in street fighter
@@ghost_exe1 I am also a Juri main, so I understand fully well.
@@mindmaster323You sure the allegations dont fit?
I'm a Baiken main and I've never used a Roman Cancel on purpose in my life. Not even once.
As a Baiken main I hate how relatable this shit is
I’m a baiken main and I actually don’t know what a Roman cancel is yet…. Got the game yesterday
As a Millia main, you don't actually want to base your spring farm around turnips. They are pretty low cost, but they have much worse profit margin compared to other plants. At the start of your farm, you actually want either potato or green bean for best profit.
And then there's the third kind of Testament:
**HORNIER THAN I-NO MAINS**
Pretty much
THAT'S ME

@@Ejeieeofiidd I'd love to give you the pfp but idk how to contact you 😔
@@4xi0m I have discord or maybe you can somehow send a link in this comment section. If you can't then dw, it's fine!
As a Faust main, you forgot one crucial detail;
Most player would say we are on massive copium support, when in reality, us losing so many match-up so hard our life force get sapped away and we are all on life support to not just instantly die on the spot when our big brain combo does as much, if not less than most characters bread and butter combo
I-no players tell you to 6P the overhead and then frametrap you into a repeating wallslump
I'm not even going to pretend like I don't do that...
I-No players force you to RPS in their (our 😉) favor. If you don't RPS you get opened up eventually, but if you do odds are you're not gonna enjoy the result. Single player gaming all day baby.
And ill do it again
There are two kinds of I-no players;
Lab monsters with knowledge of every single little thing there is, or depressed mains tryna figure out how in the hell they gunna deal with Sol (and generally play neutral while keeping gorillas at bay and punishing their random ass dps).
Like don't get me wrong, the shit I get with her if I block a dp is disgusting, so why is the Leo doing a fucking dp after his + frames/cancel window ends? Do you have a death wish of somethi- oh wait they do.
The Goldlewis section made me laugh. I'm a Goldlewis main who actually believed the propaganda at first but as I got better I was like wait a fucking second...
From reddit, I've learnt many Anji-mains cope by saying "they win in the lore" cos their main would - eventually - get to be with GG's best waifu.
XX Anji would kick strive rouster ass
Baiken is the most overrated character in the series by a wide margin.
@@senritsujumpsuit6021 Yes... So would any XX character? What's the point lol? The game's power level is higher, I literally cannot imagine trying to deal with Zappa, XX Testament, XX Baiken, XX Jam, XX Dizzy or hell, even a "lower" tier like ABA or Kliff in Strive
@@AgentBacalhau change the hit values etc then your all done son ABA Mora would make none Chipp players piss themselves in confusing an fear :3
@@senritsujumpsuit6021 Again, pointless comparison, different game, different system mechanics, different movement options, absurdly different frame data and gattlings, literally every single character in GGST that was also in +R would easily lose to their +R version. And it's not "changing the hit values" (I assume hitstun and damage maybe?) that is gonna balance it.
"Finishing combo with a super into a wallbreak would definately kill"
Foolish mistake, clearly you dont actually play Millia if you think anything like that would kill
Nah deadass I just want a crumb of conversions
The assessment on Nago is too true. As a Nago main, i can attest that I dont care about your frames, i just wanna play the game lol
"You're either an asshole or a cow, pick your poison"
Alternatively, you're a shitposter who's favorite BlazBlue character is Yuki Terumi or Hazama, and your favorite Persona 4 Arena character is Adachi. "Sarcastic chaotic villain" is your spirit animal.
As a Leo main, the gambling part is true, but its more of the testosterone he makes you let out. When you play him the goal is to assert dominance, become the alpha and earn the right to mate. Makes you feel like a spartan from 300.
so like sOME KIND OF GORILLA-
Head butt your enemies and back dash them into the corner
Playing a set as Leo is a better Testosterone supplement than any modern medicine can make right now

I used to be a May main, but I switched to Faust to repent for my sins.
Jokes aside Faust just feels amazing to play with for me and I love how he has so much random tech. I don't care that he's not that good in this game I just want to have fun and do the best I can do with this character, talking with people who also play Faust is fun as well.
My brother, you are a traitor to the cause…
You shall be punished for your treason.
Jokes aside, it does get pretty stale playing as May.
But I’ve been playing her for too long and I’m just too comfortable to leave
@@Papabandana goddamn, king, nice! I also love Faust, although I’ve only played every character very shallowly. Haven’t found the time yet to sink more than an hour into any character.
Any advice on learning Faust?
@@Lars_Hermsen utilising items is probably the most important thing to learn right off the bat as you’re gonna be abusing them no matter what level you happen to be at right now
It's not about winning, it's about making your opponent think "wtf is going on" before they win while still processing what happened 10 seconds ago
My dawg. Dab me up
As a certified player of most of the DK crew I can confirm that yeah we'll use our worst option every time because it's funny when it works.
I want them to add Johnny to strive so I can stray away from the gorilla gang. Cause being a good Johnny (even though he was definitely the best character in xrd) does actually take character knowledge, he's not an easy character to pick up but he is strong when he's learned well and I miss that.
You got what you wanted
@@Roro-if2zd truly one of the Johnny manifestations of all time.
@@zacharyhansen8250 indeed
Nago players being "Hearts" is fitting considering the kanji on his mask and jacket
Wait, does the Kanji say heart? or does it say something similar.
@@MythicMachina The word is "Kokoro." Typically translated as "heart," but with meaning more akin to "emotional core."
as an axl main I'm scared with how accurately you described my life in detail. Including the Mai dakimakura.
As a Ky main I have to say that you forgot that all of us become gorillas when the main chorus of his theme starts playing
Fact
>"that's right go forth" part starts
>neuron activation
>goes into DI
>dies immediately
True combo
I wasn't too sure about what you were saying for Anji, but the "telling your opponent how to punish Anji and immediately counterplaying it" bit is the most spot on thing ever.
The biggest Anji meme is letting everyone believe he's gorilla.
"You have a foot fetish"
Actually i have a thigh fetish!
I have a big sword fetish.
I have a mix fetish
Hell yea brothers
"What kind of person would make their fellow humans deal with disjointed hitboxes"
Coming from a Giovanna player and her magic feet that hits you with their aura
the amt of times my friends have removed me from vc after a resounding "WHAT?!" because of those fucking long disjointed feet is higher than you know
Us Faust players pride ourselves in the fact that our character is objectively the best written and the best design wise
Besides zato maybe he cool
Nah Faust is better written than Zato :]
We need the nurse back reeee
@@MysticPyroFreak I’d say so, but zato is really nice with his story, I’d argue he’s more tragic than Faust
Let’s just all agree that as a character may is hilariously bad, writing wise I mean
@@p.k6472 as someone who lives by the Totsugeki code... Yeah
@@p.k6472 One thing I'll give Zato's arc credit for is that he more or less is back where he started being someone's underling. And I find that irony of him going through everything he went through, only to realize "You know what? Being someone's underling is fine", hilarious. I mean, yeah. He's fine with it only because it's Millia, but still.
Aside from that, I personally felt Zato worked better as a posthumous character and that Eddie should have remained the one in control. To each their own, tho!
Gonna be honest, I'm usually super iffy on these stereotype videos. A lot of them just devolve into the creator being really toxic over the charatcers they don't like. This video genuinely has heart to it and feels more like a fine roast rather than burnt charcoal black.
Also i'd like to give a shoutout to the massive Bi/Pan awakening Testament caused in Strive.
Their gender neutral is unrivaled
@@WhitestWhistle That made me laugh way too fucking hard, have a brownie for your comedy genius xD
As a Ram player I have to say, the reasons I play Ram is:
1- She’s cute
2- She’s cool
3- Big Sword no. 1
4- Big Sword no. 2
5- She’s fun af to play
6- Hamburger
Wrong + L + What The Dog Doing + Ratio
Reasons I play Ram: Dog

@@lemnioaz3854 It's the air special, isn't it?
I feel like there is a separate type of Happy Chaos main that play him because of his character in the story. I picked him up day 1 as a secondary because he's just such a goofy and lovable guy
Agreed, his normals are the goofiest shit ever (they also quite strong too)
this is sterotypes tho
Same, him and that man were the 2 chars I wanted, so picking him up was a no Brainer day 1
Me, that is absolutely me. I absolutely suck at chaos but I’m not giving up because he speaks to me on a spiritual level
Dirty Axl main here is concerned how you knew about my diet and my maiden situation... Fun fact, I picked up Axl specifically to annoy my friend, and the rest is history. I concur that confrontation is scary.
fellow Axl player here, equally called out by the laundry chair and diet thing. however, I managed to find a maiden of my own! like the video said, Axl mains are usually pretty cool. you'll find her/him eventually!
I'm an Axl main. Legit just moved into my mom's basement. 😩
more axl here and i do like it when people stay away except chaos he needs to be right beside me
As someone who has played GGST almost three days and is a HARDCORE TESTAMENT MAIN you have sorely underestimated how many of us are former emo kids who read vampire smut and have raven and skull statues on every flat surface in our house and play Testament because we want to be them more than we want to continue living, please god tell me I'm not the only one
Goldlewis main here, and I thoroughly believe the tendency to downplay Goldlewis is because three of his hardest Matchups, those being Gio, Chaos and Sol, Are INCREDIBLY common characters online
You mean Nago? Sol isn't that hard of a matchup for GL.
@@seokkyunhong8812 True, Nago is WAY worse, Idk why I said sol rather than Nago, I mean even Ky is harder for goldlewis than Sol is
8:24 And chipp, canonically, is both of those things. Fitting
Wake up babe, new Gekko video just dropped.
I'm up I'm up

I've talked to NotPichu, one of the best Jack'O's in the world, and almost word for word they were like that, just a depressed guy trying his best to speed through inputs until he gets slapped by Hotashi
Axl is pretty much my entire personality ever since I was born. And time control is one of the only powers I've liked in any piece of media.
time stoppage > any other power
Same for me. Time stopping is just too cool
I appreciate that you actually tried with potemkin's stereotype instead of just "clown"
"Oi, did you see that command grab?? I love command grabs, they're my FAVOURITE!!"
..."Oi, did you get the broom closet ending?? The broom closet ending was my FAVOURITE!!"
If this was an intentional reference, I hereby offer you oral.
me, an Axl player; "what, that's not true, my desk isn't-" then the three empty pop tart wrappers caught my eye
As a nago main, I was watching that nago gameplay and kept thinking "Kamuriyuki after the second hit of far slash, then fukyo backwards, DO IT ITLL WORK", so yes, we definitely like making up ways to mix people up and put them back under pressure. It's why I still love playing Nago.
The potemkin section made me realize a few things about how I became a Potemkin main
Testament makes sense TBH. Them in Strive is just vibing in life, and so are the players, just going about their FG journey
"Are we negative? No the fuck we're not we're BALLIN'" is my new life philosophy
Ok I had to laugh at the Faust section. I'm a believer hook line, and golfclub. only thing it's missing is no mention of the people who play strictly for TEH FUNNIEZ
haha lanky doc go
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrr
8:44 this is literally gameplay footage of me and my friends, they'll be like "Damn he good" and in my brain is just neco arc gio
As a Zato main, I was confused why people always run away from me. Now I know. Also explains why I was surprised when you claimed Faust is the worst character.
man, it’s rough being the only gay I-no main in the world who picked her because her guitar looked cool
Sol: SLASHSLASHSLASHSLASH-
Ky: STUNEDGEFONDUARCSTUNEDEG-
May: TOTSUGEKITOTSUGEKITOT-
Chipp: WOAHSPEEDBETABLADEGAMMA-oh I died…
Milla: THEFLOORISLAVAANDIAMQUEEN
Potemkin: Excuse me sir/ma’am I would like to give you a hug if you don’t mind just let me get close thank you.
Axl: SOCIALDISTANCINGSOCIALDISTANCING-
Leo: *actual gorilla sounds*
Ramlethal: Gun, and if that don’t work, use more dp.
Faust: Many consider him low tier but you don’t care and I respect that, also square one.
Nagoriyuki: Holy fuck how the hell did you kill that fast?!
Anji: FUJINFUJINFUJIN-
Zato: Actually no joke they scary.
Giovanni: idk, I guess you use the cross up a lot?
I-no: you mix people more than a mixer.
Goldlewis: you looked at his character guide and probably thought he’s op.
Jack-o: You crouch at any opportunity, you firmly believe that if you have no idea what you’re doing, your opponent won’t.
Happy chaos: either you’re a ballsy chaos who gets in there, or you’re one of those who stays far away and spam the steady aim move.
Baiken: You spam gun whenever the opponent does anything, and you like huge melons, I don’t blame you tbh.
Testament: honestly I have nothing for them.
Fujin is my favorite move,
Mainly cause it's the only move anji has that works
Hardly
Testament: "Okay, wow. I guess i'm bi now."
Us I-No players wouldnt mix so hard if it wasnt our only option
Millia players mix for shits and giggles, we mix because we lose if we dont
We are not the same
Got Strive recently just because I liked all the memes around Chaos and only really played Tekken and my last anime fighter was Tenkaichi Budokai, so, I was a little confused going from Sol in the dojo having HS to only having GUN.
Needless to say I only beat like 2 of the enemies in arcade and got 14 losses, but I'm having a blast.
Goldlewis mains are like bbtag neo mains, “she don’t got damage oh help me” _sets up an unreactable 50/50 that’s safe on block coz why not_
The amount of times I've had a Millia not end a combo with the super that could have won them the round is absolutely absurd.
ngl before I switched to monkey brained Pot-head-tempkin I tried to play Zato for silly Eddie and wound up being the "just ban Faust already" guy
I once finished a game by doing beyblade 3 times. They blocked the first two, but they didnt expect the third. So yes, the Nago stereotype is correct as far as I am concerned
Just ran into a Nago who popped blood rage in corner I as a I-no main, proceeded to absolutely obliterate the poor guy, I feel like nago mains need to pay more attention to their rage instead of just popping it when low
Me as a Ramlethal main:
Yeah, sounds about right.
strive is the first fighting game ive ever played, picked it up like four days ago. ive been playing may because i liked her hat. please god what did i walk into. the dolphin combos. the damage numbers. big fish. i just wanted to play piano and chill but ive unknowingly trapped myself in the lower levels of hell and i cant find the exit sign anywhere
All the characters I’ve considered and why
Faust: gambling. Item toss is dope
Giovanna: aww doggo
Jacko: I like pumpkins
Baiken: that grapple looks dope
As a Bridget main, I can confirm we are all transfems who dress in exclusively miniskirts and oversized hoodies.
No no you see, I'm actually just a femboy who really wanted to play as a femboy but had to deal with the fact that Bridget is no longer one.
I have found that Axl mains are easily fascinated with lemons.
As a may main, at first I just wanted to hit people with an anchor because I thought it would be funny.
Now, 100 hours later, I worship Satan himself and make blood sacrifices to ensure that my dolphin continues to listen to my commands and doesn't eat me alive.
As a Nago main, I appreciate you for acknowledging our collective galaxy brain
As a may main, I can confirm that I was birthed from satan in the deepest pit of hell. None of you are safe
As a Potemkin main, I only have one thing to say:
we know where you are again. start running.
I am at the moment of guilty gear where I'm learning one character and decide which the character is the main for me
As an Anji player I can confidently say... you didn't have to be so raw ;_;
Also noticing.....
Woman's bare feet = "You PERV!!!"
Man's bare feet = "Just another day in fighting games, have at it!"
Lollerskates
As someone who switched from Day 1 Chaos to Jack-O. I would say the feeling of control is easily the best feeling ever. I really like breaking my wrists when doing pressure and get pissed when pot PBs me mid pressure because I destroyed my hands so badly.
As a Potemkin main, I know where you live and I'm currently heavenly prc before hit over to your house, don't try to run I WILL GET YOU
Couldn't agree more with the nagoriyuki. I hit floor 8 faster than I realized something such as super jump exists.
I only found out about super jump because I accidentally fumbled inputs
I'm the mildly Gorilla Ky who also wants to fireball, you described it very accurately.
The reason I play ky is because he seems like the "sword in one hand, spell in the other" Architype. And I'm a big fan of that. Plus I'm pretty much brand new to fighting games, so he looks like a good all-rounder learning tool.
nvm. I'm a sol main now.
chipp players are the type of kids who think they look like the main dude from persona 5
I felt attacked with the chipp one, I do have those monologues 😔😔
me, who never plays fighting games, singling out Faust as my starter main cuz i like his funky vibes: *couldn't care less about how effective he is i just like my spindly Creature of a man*
Sajam “ah sick pot buster make some noise!”
I have been playing Strice for around 2 Weeks now, picked up Nagoriyuki as a main because, 1: A youtuber said he'd never be able to do it, so challenge accepted, 2: He's really cool, and 3: I like the feel of his gameplay.
And already Strive is probably my favorite fighting game I've ever picked up. I'm already feeling myself getting into that Nagoriyuki main stereotype. I found myself on one of those websites that had a bunch of information on how characters (on accident, mind you. I was looking for his LORE) and their moves works, figured it was too much of a bother and just played the game. Also, Giovanna is my secondary cause she's really fun and really solid.
And Jack-O has my favorite move animations in the whole game.
as a ky player i really love stagger pressure and stun dipper RC but i also enjoy working on a really clean defense. Idk i just think good defense is sick af
You described Nago so accurately it pushed me to switch mains
As someone who switched from testament to May because I was tired of getting "oooops'd" to death. This is completely true. I want everyone else to feel my pain
Why is this so accurate tho
I've been seriously considering switching to may lately too for this reason
Two ends of the Ky Spectrum
1. Thought Roar of the Spark was a pretty neat song.
2. GO FORTH, DONT LOOK BACK

I just got into strive and I play chaos because of his personality and the fact that his play style is so unique and fun (also I’m scared of people and frame one full screen panic damage is great for my level) and it’s so weird that this goofy theatre god has such a toxic main base. When he’s god tier for memey bullshit how do you sweat swamp funny theatre homie
I knowwww man. When people ask for my main I strive because there gonna think I’m a try hard. I just think he’s really fucking cool and fun to play
Theres 2 types of chaos mains, the people who play him because hes top meta, or those who play him because haha funny gun man
@@Mythicalslayer0 Funny gun man who just doesn't care.
as a May player I love you for this edvghdvf the May segment made me laugh out loud (also, cat ear hat May mod supremacy)
