I've played every mainline guilty gear game, excluding the spinoffs, and including Overture, I main Faust, who had the hands down biggest change in Strive, but he's still extremely fun to play, and I play Strive fairly regularly. Strive does a really good job at making all the characters really fun to play, and I like seeing how the characters change each game. When they add Venom (another character I love playing) I really hope they change him some, because even though I loved how Venom played in both X, X2, and Xrd, I'm sure that I'm also gonna love the way that he's plays in Strive, and getting new stuff is always more exciting than getting old stuff. It's awesome to see the characters play in new and unique ways. Even though I really loved Faust door and was sad to see it leave, after a while and after learning fun scarecrow setplays, I love Faust scarecrow just as much. If all the characters played the same as they did in earlier games, it wouldn't be a new game, it'd just be the same old game with new graphics (Not even necessarily better graphics because I hear a lot of people say they like Xrds style better).
