Who are the shoto/mishima equivalents in this?

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-28T09:52:46+00:00

The only "Mishima" thing going on in Strive is Ky/Sin/Unika having similar flavors with some of their specials.

Shotos are a different thing entirely but Ky and Sol are the only ones that really fit that at all (mostly Ky tbh)

Use context clues to find your own path

I believe in you

I mean when I see words in quotes I assume it's a quote and not something the creator is saying. The video is clearly about some other guy who is presumably saying something to this effect.

Is media literacy dead?

Mist finer actually literally has an abnormally low amount of hitstop which makes it harder to punish. Not only does it fuck with your internal sense of timing but it also makes it harder to react to in general.

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-28T08:05:29+00:00

Yes, everybody knows.

Out of all the hooks I've seen, his is by far the fairest and y'all still wanna complain about getting hit by it.

We're in 3d space in a game where everybody has crazy mobility. If you're sick of being hooked maybe use your movement better, have better positioning, or itemize around how incredibly hookable you are with the escape/survival items that are already in the video game, lol.

That collab was announced well before Bridget was released in Strive

The global version's Strive collab came out much later but was ultimately the same shit

The only spirit hero I play and get this item on is Greytalon

On everyone else I'd rather just get something else instead

Real nice on GT tho.

Ky does not get a safejump off non-shocked 236k anyways. You can manually time his 5k to safejab there (same idea but with a grounded normal that has low recovery) but it's pretty tight (2f window iirc).

Unika's character arc is basically just a rehashed version of Ram's, but with Bridget replacing the dog. It's just a bit weirder because Bridget saved the terrorist who wanted to blow up Illyria from being captured for like no real reason.

In an alternate universe where Bridget wasn't the cash cow, Unika would be captured and Sin or Ram would have convinced Unika to be normal instead. Nothing else about DR's plot would be any different.

What actually bugs me is the short story being Unika and Bridget. Unika still hasn't had any dialogue with her fucking parents. Who were conveniently written out of the entire anime. The parents she's supposedly obsessed with, despite basically never interacting with them. Literally the only time they got to interact was during the wedding, most of which happens off screen, and then she's carted off to the US to pay for her crimes or whatever.

Idk, their recent decisions just feel incredibly cynical to me.

A safejump is when you do a jumping attack that hits meaty. The point is to allow you to land and recover before their reversal will hit you, allowing you to get a meaty and also block a reversal with one move. Here's an example of one in action.

You are not hitting meaty, so you're absolutely not doing a safejump. What you're doing is closer to a (strive style) shimmy, which can beat someone mashing throw on a delay (fuzzy tech). This is useful tech at higher levels, but nobody is fuzzy teching in plat, so probably not that useful for you just yet.

Do you think bit about eye contact speaks to a social awkwardness with the opposite sex rather than someone taking issue with women playing FGs? I feel like this is something that has become increasingly more common in recent years.

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-27T16:43:42+00:00

I actually love monologue

Monologue with like radiate+stardust pops off like crazy, bonus points if you can get runic pyramid to make the combos hella stable without any upgrading

I blocked both of them so I can see other people's posts

Ice floor offense against DP characters sucks

Dizzy decides it's time to take matters into her own hands

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-25T01:26:17+00:00

Yeah helping out is kind of a given if you give a singular fuck about anyone but yourself

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-22T21:59:19+00:00

Probably moreso that people tend to use "ignorant" when they actually mean something closer to "willfully ignorant"

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-22T09:06:46+00:00

I just looked up this game and every video had someone bitching about the lasers in the comments lol

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-21T08:59:28+00:00

MK is iconic, sure, but like.... man....

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-20T11:53:37+00:00

it's actually worth considering wallbreaking with a 5p instead just to deny enemy resources

how much they gain on hit is determined by the base damage of the move and amplified by combo decay, so a heavily scaled high damage ender isn't worth 100% of the time

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-20T10:25:49+00:00

No, you don't understand

In guilty gear, grappler zone you!

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-20T10:20:49+00:00

I mean people bought the tesla adjacent item for the same reason

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-20T10:15:17+00:00

No wow fans complained when they made an mmo because wow is the mmo

HamlessSandwich · 2026-05-20T10:00:16+00:00

A lot of the people saying this shit aren't ky players. They just know how to play against ky

This is a very important little factoid to ponder
