The Martian

Welp, since I've recently been trying to get better at Blazblue I figure I'm gonna want to do the same in Guilty Gear as well. Being a Makoto player, which character do you guys think would suit me the best? I usually use Milia, Eddie, or Chipp.

Right now I'm trying to practice her 7th mission, even though I have no idea how to apply it in the heat of battle...lol. Why does the bot block after I try to land the C during Asteroid Vision sometimes? Also how come he can recover before I do the 2A input?

Thanks yo. Yeah, I only did 7 of her challenges so far, but I forgot that there is a Tutorial mode as well. I'll have to check it out. Right now I'm trying to practice her 7th mission, even though I have no idea how to apply it in the heat of battle...lol.

All these responses are great! Thanks guys. I've decided to stick with Makoto. She's too much fun, albeit hard to use...it's been a frustrating past few days. I can't land any of the combos I've spent so long practicing. I have no idea how to get in, and I'm even worse at escaping pressure. It seems as if I'm even lucky to be able to move around when I fight people online.

Oh wow, I didn't know that censoring on internet forums was still a thing. And when I brought it up earlier my post got hijacked...nice. In other news, I'm still sucking ass with Makoto. Someone halp.

I love Hype Dog.

What is happening to my namesake here

You're sad. Saying faggot isn't always in a negative context. Chill your shit.

Or maybe it just wasn't laggy on my side...? There was pretty much no input lag on my game, not that it even matters when you're fighting me because I can't even get a hit in. I could see if you were at least dropping combos...

Lol, what word? Faggot? Also, I wasn't experiencing any lag. I don't know how you were

I will in like 20 minutes.

*sigh*...I go online and I can't even move for the entire fight. I train for hours upon hours and then I get bodied completely when I try to fight actual people. It's so discouraging. Feels like I'm not making any progress. And while I'm aware that this is the usual normal process for getting into a new FG, this is one of the cases where it's especially frustrating because I literally cannot even get 1 hit in most of the time unless I get lucky. Makoto lacks range, almost completely. But I'm used to it and I find it fun because I play characters like Cammy and Valentine. However I really have no idea how to truly utilize her, and the combos I've been practicing with her are actually pretty hard compared to what I'm used to.

God. I train for hours upon hours and then I get bodied completely when I try to fight actual people. It's so discouraging. Feels like I'm not making any progress.

So...I'm brand new to Makoto and I think I wanna use her. What should I know? What's a few of her "go to" combos?

Well, I've been playing for a long while but I've just recently started to try and actually learn the game though, so yeah I'm pretty bad lol. I don't think I'm going to main Relius. At least, not at this point. Seems too advanced for me. I'm probably gonna go with Makoto or Haku since they seem a lot more fun and less demanding.

Jesus why the fuck am I so bad

Invite me, I'll play with you guys.

ME.

I wanna play too yo.

Add me. SUP

Hai guys

Yeah, it started working a lot better once I waited for the hit from Ignis to connect before I did the input.

If I wanna start the mid screen combo with a jump-in what's the best normal to use? It's weird because when I do a jump in into that exact combo with like 4 or 5 pokes, it actually does less than when I start it with the 5B. What's up with that? I also seem to have trouble getting the j.236C to come out consistently. I know it's not my execution because I can do the move fine on it's own, but for some reason I can't buffer into it from j.8D.

What is smp?
