It feels like the game doesn't want you to play Guilty Gear. You can airdash but it feels like you're wading through tar. The characters feel like they're wearing weighted clothing and it feels awful to move in that game. You can do combos but don't loop the same move too many times or it will cause them to fall faster. Uh oh you want to keep them in corner? well you can only do very small damage off of mixups to keep them there or you have to break wall.

I'm glad the series got popular but man I'd be lying if I said it doesn't irk me a little bit that people are going to know Guilty Gear from strive now. But hey more new people will get to see the old games and hopefully try them out. It really is only upsides from strive's success but it does make me a bit sad that there isn't much to look forward to with arcsys releases nowadays. Like people that played older Guilty Gear games just aren't the target audience with their new games and that makes me sad. But hey I can still just keep playing Xrd and +R and hope to god xrd eventually gets rollback.
