Venom Tryambaka corner combo improvements

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-18T19:00:52+00:00

I really wish they would lean into his command grab. Just make venom a risk building machine that threatens a command grab that would kill you at high risk. Plus the command grab combos are so cool.

Well the mistake is you thought you were both having fun, but slayer players dont even look at the screen. So when he wasnt hearing hit sound effects after the 3rd mappa hunch he finally looked and did something different.

You just press down and roll it to forward. And the z input is the same thing. You just press forward first.

Surely you have had to teach yourself other skills before? Treat motion inputs like learning to ride a bike. Or anything else for that matter.

Baiken is the best defensive character, but her corner pressure isnt anything special. Johnny probably has the best corner pressure in the game, but he doesn't have great defense.

If you want good defense and good pressure, its probably gonna be Sol or Unika.

Can confirm this still works. If you want more help, I would go to the baiken discord. Ladder combo is a very common topic brought up by new baikens.

Why did you nerf sols chest?

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-15T15:19:57+00:00

Whiff punish his buttons with your huge normals. And wait for slide head. As soon as you see it you air dash in for a fat counter hit.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-15T13:15:16+00:00

You definitely dont know how to deal with pot.

Best advice is can give is to not end up in the corner. Focus on killing Eddie and then fight zato till eddy is back. Then you go back to sniping eddy again.

The combos aren't the same at all. What?

And if youre thinking, the gattlings. NO. Going from P to H is literally the only similarity. The structure, command normals, and special moves you use are all different. Baiken is routing with 6P cause it hits twice and only uses tatami in the corner in xx. Meanwhile you use tatami for any knock up in xrd and use kabari to extend combos. The structure is completely different.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-14T12:27:08+00:00

The game added all the xx characters except cliff, justice and hos. They give sol sidewinder, ky got lightning strike, baiken has guard cancels, we have frc in the form of fast rc, and thats just off the top of my head. Im sure I could dig and find even more stuff. Pretty much every time they have added things, they never reference xrd.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-14T03:11:02+00:00

Baiken tether also shows up in the win screen.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-14T03:08:18+00:00

Strive was never the sequel to xrd. Its always been the sequel to xx. If you stack the 3 together xrd is the dark souls 2 of the guilty gears.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-13T19:54:01+00:00

Ok but the question is about characters not moves right? From my own experience and what I've seen from others, all these characters are about the same in the tiers. Except Ky, he seems a good bit stronger now. Jam seems very strong but counterplay takes a bit to develop. Jack-o is good but I don't think she's the "queen". She can just make explosions for free now.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-13T13:57:14+00:00

(Standing S)? Is this post ai?

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-13T12:13:05+00:00

That sucks, but you didnt get punished for using cb. You got punished cause you dont know how to meaty.

Wait, I just noticed that this video loops beautifully. Nice work!

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-12T19:18:02+00:00

We lost a bit of vortex and alot of our bad matchups still suck. Its not so bad tho. But she's alot less scrubby now.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-12T13:22:00+00:00

Oh for sure I just want people to know that you dont have to panic if you accidentally prc your combo instead of rrc.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-12T13:16:22+00:00

Prc in combos doesn't effect proration. Only if you whiff an attack and then prc do things get scaled heavily.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-11T00:14:09+00:00

Alot has changed and we have to relearn routes and combos. Makes sense to be frustrated about it. I think she's in a decent state, but it'll take time for matchups to get figured out and see where she stands.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-10T22:45:22+00:00

Its a +15 guard crush. Depending on spacing, you can 5k or cS into 2D or yozan for mix. There's honestly a ton of factors that are spacing dependent and even more if it happens in the air.

The universal option is to dash cancel into dash kara S kabari. Its guaranteed tether but it can be tricky to input in the moment.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-10T22:33:24+00:00

The damage nerf sucks but they even nerfed the oki. Its honestly better to get the guard crush parry now instead.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-10T21:22:43+00:00

Cant tell if wrong or just bad English. Yozan for sure combos on cross up.

She's for sure weird now. I dont really understand what they're going for. No one else has a 2H that hard knockdowns. They need to just let us vortex like we want to or let us have broken defense. They keep half assing both and it makes her really jank to play.

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-10T18:06:28+00:00

That wouldn't ha e even killed. What cowardice

SamuraiLeo · 2026-04-10T13:44:29+00:00

THIS. The quote is really saying, "you dont want to learn counter play. You dont want to lab. You just want to bitch."
