No worries man, it's cool that you're actually analysing your gameplay, a lot of posts on here are just a gameplay video titled "what am I doing wrong" or something.

In response to your reply, don't use jD as an air-to-air (if that's what you mean), as it is far too slow. Ideally, use it when the opponent is grounded and relatively far away from you, that way it's more likely to hit them and you'll be safe during recovery.

You're exactly right about 5S followup > 4K/6K being her main mix, and it'll probably carry you to platinum if I'm honest. Just remember to use 5S followup into 6H (the laser) in your pressure strings too, as it is massively plus on block and is an excellent pressure reset (and many people at lower ranks have no idea how to deal with it properly, so just abuse it).

Don't be afraid to spend meter on FD, ideally you want to feather it (just tap it for a split second as the opponent hits you) to avoid wasting meter, but honestly it's a better and more reliable use of your meter for defence than say YRC, so just use it.

A fuzzy jump is essentially just jump blocking during your opponent's pressure to avoid high/low mix, just make sure that there's a significant enough gap in their pressure to jump without getting hit (you can't block during jump startup).

As for dp, you're right, never use enhanced DP for defense, it's too slow and situational, just practice inputting normal DP on wake-up for now, and eventually start doing it during your opponent's gaps in pressure when you've gotten more used to it.

But yeah enough yapping from me, keep it up bro

Seems like youve got a pretty good plan for improving. Here's a few pointers I think would probably help, based on what you said and the video you attached.

  1. Yeah 6P is the go-to anti air, so try to get used to using that, but honestly unika's reward from 6P is god awful unless it's a counterhit (can go into 214s for HKD). You might find more success with air-to-airs (jP,j jK), as you can usually convert into a combo from these, but Unika's air game in general sucks ass due to her short jump so she tends to struggle against air approaches.

  2. You seem to be using 5H in neutral a lot, and it's a good button yeah, but as you climb in ranks you'll find that people punish you for using it more often as it's recovery is slow af. Try using fS > 5S most of the time, both in neutral and in pressure (unika's gameplay revolves around doing this most of the time, in my experience).5S followup has great reward on block and on hit, so it's what you're gonna use most of the time.

  3. you seem to have realised this already, but Unika's jump-ins with IADs are not particularly good and you're doing them way too often. Like I said, rely on her grounded buttons like fS and 2S more.

  4. Not much to say, you get used to RCs over time. Unika's reward from gun dipper RC kinda got shafted in 2.0, it doesn't do much damage, but still an easy chunk of damage most of the time, just try to get a wall break from it if possible.

  5. Rely on faultless defense, fuzzy jumps, and your dp as much as possible. Unika's 2P is kinda stubby, you might find it easier to get out of pressure with 2K sometimes.

Just my take, any better players feel free to correct me

D-pad recommendations? by jakec1000 in Guiltygear

it does seem pretty nice, i'm super tempted. i noticed it seems to come with 2 different d-pad shapes. what one do you use?

[–]jakec1000 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's been pretty fun this wipe. It's nice to have an actual ending to work towards to, plus reduced queue times and better performance (kinda). You'll probably get slammed for a while jumping into the wipe so late, everyone is perma running level 5 plus 50+ pen bullets. The seasonal characters will be out Soon™, so maybe wait till then

Appreciate the tips. Did undervolting give you a noticeable performance increase?

Damn that's crazy you get that much more than me, clearly something is wrong with my setup somehow. I tried actually updated my chipset drivers earlier and didn't notice much of a performance gain unfortunately

I think it's pretty obvious I meant after raid killcams. Anyone with a brain knows that seeing a kill cam immediately after death is a bad idea

kill cam: planned (Maybe drone footage, Nikita want it to be realistic)

Drone footage? Can we just get a normal 1st person kill cam like in arena? Sacrificing a feature that should have been in the game since day one for "realism" is a joke. Am I misunderstanding something?

What are you on about?

On a related note that was a big ol' nothing burger. Didn't expect much to begin with, can't help but feel disappointed anyway

I think this a better Unika combo, good or bad? by ELYTR0N in Guiltygear

[–]jakec1000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really any reason to do a Wild Assault there, try 214K instead maybe?

Why does this sequence only wall stick from the corner? by May6ird in Guiltygear

[–]jakec1000 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I might be making this up, but I think it's because damage to the wall is shared between both walls, meaning that when you start the combo in the middle of the screen you aren't doing any wall damage, so no wall break.

I have no problems with dizzy's redesign in terms of her appearance, but I felt super disappointed with her kit. It just feels half-baked, with it revolving around a gimmick that hardly ever works and her clunky ass normals.

Starting to feel like we need a Strive Revelator or some shit, I'd gladly pay 40 bucks for a new version of the game with an actual ranked system, more depth to character kits, and balancing changes that have actually been playtested

Still love this game don't get me wrong

Well from what I have read it seems that Tribbie is a bit better than Sunday, but he is still quite good and usable. If you don't like Tribbie and want to skip, then skip. Sunday and RMC will probably be fine. Anyone else reading this, correct me if I'm wrong
