GGXXAC+R May Practice 21 Apr 2021 - First Part GenericSoda 2021-04-23 | Had some trouble against a May in player matches the other day so I hit up a member of the Discord I'm in for practice. The next set of matches get even dumber, but at least I get more consistent with 6P's and dealing with May.Second part: youtube.com/watch?v=Lm0Bad-4P2Y
Guilty Gear Strive - Set vs Lora (Baiken) 22 October 2023 GenericSoda 2023-10-22 | Lora is a strong Baiken player who has made TNS top 8 before. I had the opportunity to play a set against them and even though the set doesn't look that bad going by round count, I ended up being flustered by how to approach the matchup.A couple things I need to work on include not autopiloting into Midare on a successful dodge. My reactions aren't the best so I find it difficult choose the optimal option every time. Part of this will probably include looking at what resources the opponent has on deck when I'm attempting to use Spin.As a followup to this thought there were several times when I had a confirm into Wild Assault on deck and simply didn't convert. Part of it is where I place value on WA based off of how I've used it and part of it is I'm not using it consistently enough to get in the habit of using it to rack up conversions. I need to get in the habit of just using it more to better grasp when the best times to use it are. I also fumbled some WA followups so short-term muscle memory pushed into using 5D as a gimmick from WA. It's a weak gimmick and should be be avoided. Second, I need to narrow my neutral options - H Kabari and 2H are scary tools at longer ranges, but fS is a threat when I close the distance. I should be trying to keep my feet planted and challenge with 6P, 2S, and 2D or airdashing on grounded pokes rather than trying to play cat and mouse with jD. I got counterhit needlessly several times.Third, sometimes I just need to dashblock. I get tagged by Kabari more times than I should just by running in and not dashblocking. Sometimes it's the simplest things that you forget.
GGST Season 3 - Anji Shin: Ichishiki Okizeme Concept GenericSoda 2023-09-01 | Shin: Ichishiki after a throw is already ridiculously plus on block, but with the new ability to alter Anji's position when using Shin, you now have access to a better shimmy game with the forward movement, and ways to more safely bait an opponent's reversals with the backwards movement.After testing every reversal in the game, I found that the backwards moving version of Shin will cause all meterless reversals except Asuka's Aquila Metron to whiff, and while it can beat some metered reversals like Sol's Tyrant Rave, it will still lose to the following characters' metered reversals:Ky, May, Axl, Ramlethal, Leo, Nagoriyuki, Giovanna, Anji, Goldlewis (level 1), Jack-O', Baiken, Bedman?, and Johnny.
Guilty Gear Strive Match Analysis 8 Aug 2023 GenericSoda 2023-08-12 | Won a small tournament that ended up pitting me against a really good May player, Shiraorii, in the finals. It's the first time I've ever beaten them, so I thought I'd take a look at the match as a way of analyzing where to go next and what could use some improvement.In hindsight I focused a lot on what I was doing any my mindset, and if I do these in the future I'd like to look at a shorter set and take more of the opponent's play into account.
Combo Breaker 2023 Stream Match Analysis GenericSoda 2023-07-20 | It's been a bit since Combo Breaker, and I had the idea to do an analysis of my match a couple weeks ago. I saved an off the cuff analysis, let it sit for a few weeks, and then deleted it and banged out another off the cuff analysis in 15 minutes today.I've managed to work on some of the flaws I pointed out in this video, and in other cases I'm still having issues. I think the benefit of a month and change's time let me look at my issues a little more honestly rather than just doing it within a month. I'm still not the most confident in how I play, but doing as well as I did at CB lets me see my progress a bit more clearly. I participate in weekly tournaments regularly, so if more match analysis is something you'd like to see more from me let me know. I'd welcome the opportunity to improve at making analysis.

Guilty Gear Strive FT3 vs Conbork(Anji) GenericSoda 2022-10-05 | I participate weekly in Hoopcup, the tournament series for Sajam's Discord server. This week I ended up playing against Conbork, a strong Anji player in a mirror match that went the distance. I've played Conbork twice before and never managed to take more than one match. I came much, much closer this time, so even though Conbork eliminated me in loser's side, I'm completely satisfied with how I played.

Anji Season Two Combos GenericSoda 2022-06-15 | Some low execution combos possible with the season two changes. Most of these are based off of combos I've seen with tweaks to make them slightly more optimal.
Anji Kabari Combos GG Strive 1.13 GenericSoda 2022-01-30 | Basic Kabari combos. They're not optimal, but this is what I found after about an hour of hitting buttons. You've got two midscreen-ish combos, one where you're nowhere near the wall, and one at true midscreen. One thing to note in the notation, Kou when held for as short a time as possible doesn't significantly increase the height the opponent is launched, but creates a noticeable burst of forwards momentum. 0:00 cS, 2D, Kou (smallest hold possible), jS, 5K, Fuujin, Rin, cS, 5H/5D/Issei Ougi0:12 cS, 2D, Kou (smallest hold possible), jS, 5K, Kou, 5K, jD, jD0:25 cS, 2D, Kou (smallest hold possible), jS, 2K, Kou, jS, 2K, Kou (doesn't give Butterfly oki, but does leave you close)0:36 cS, 2D Kou, jK, 2K, Kou, jK, 5K, Fuujin, Rin/Issei Ougi (true midscreen, not from round start midscreen)

Anji 1.10 Post-Butterfly Oki Against Chipp GenericSoda 2021-10-24 | - Slight addendum to the video, the subtitle should communicate that jS leads to strong conversions, rather than saying that jS itself beats out reversals. -Anji's jS can combo into cS to net healthy damage against most characters who try to dragon punch their way out of butterfly oki, but Chipp is an exception. I ran into some trouble matches last night and in the process of labbing figured I'd share what I found. I'll include the notation and specifics below.Shitsu, short run up 5K, Fuujin, Hop, cS, 5H,Fuujin, Rin, 5K, 5H/5D/Kara Rin/Issei Ougi: Sai-----The trick is to do a very short run up for a max range 5K. Too close and you'll eat a hit. A running theme of each of these combos is to let the second hit of butterfly land between Fuujin and Hop.Shitsu, Fuujin (max hold), Hop, cS, 6H, Fuujin, Rin, 5H/5D/Kara Rin/Issei Ougi: Sai-----Very easy combo. No tricks or specifics here.Shitsu, Fuujin (max hold), Hop, cS, Kou (minimum hold), jD, cS, Kou (no hold), 5H/5D/Kara Rin/Issei Ougi: Sai-----The first Kou must be held for as short a time period as possible. Watch the video carefully to see how Anji only spins slightly. If you hold it too long you won't combo, and if you do an unheld Kou the second Kou's second hit won't connect and you'll lose your wall break. It's worth it though, this does monster damage. If you're not confident your first Kou worked you can trade in less damage for more consistency by going into 5H, Fuujin, Rin before your wall break.

Guilty Gear Strive Casual Matches 17 July 2021 GenericSoda 2021-07-17 | Casual matches in Celestial.

Best of luck next time you try.
Guilty Gear Strive Nagoriyuki Practice 21 June 2021 GenericSoda 2021-06-23 | Nagoriyuki is pretty tricky for Anji. A lot of it comes down to the difference in range and exploiting it with Anji's spin and parry. I landed a good amount of throws after a teleport once I adjusted, but I got baited quite a few more times. Fuujin is terribly risky unless you space it out, since Nago's 5K can punish Fuujin's safest followup. I also bungled a lot of potential damage on counterhits and in general need to experiment with Kou more. I feel good about the victories I got in the later rounds though.

(reuploaded and edited due to video error)With this I'm concluding my short series of videos introducing newcomers to Guilty Gear. I feel like most of the very basics got covered, and while there area few things I'm dissatisfied with in terms of editing, I'm pretty happy I churned these all out fairly quickly. I learned a lot and if I make more videos going forward, I'll be experimenting with new video programs to make a better end result.Music Used-----------------------Destructive Goodwill - Guilty Gear XrdJust Do It - Guilty Gear XrdBump - Guilty Gear Xrd

Guilty Gear Beginners Guide Part I: Movement GenericSoda 2020-11-26 | Core-A's "Why Button Mashing Doesn't Work" youtube.com/watch?v=_R0hbe8HZj0There's been a lot of discussion and noise surrounding Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R at the moment, and I ended up recording a lot of match footage I didn't end up editing or uploading, so I spliced it together with some footage of training mode to create a guide aimed at people who are either new to fighting games or picked up +R during a sale and would like to learn more.I'm very new to video editing, and as mentioned in the video this is the most complex piece of video editing I've ever done, as crude as it is in comparison to professional work. I just really, REALLY like Guilty Gear, so if even one other person finds this guide useful or picks up the game because of it, then it's done its job. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try to address it.Shout-outs to DandyDLC, Novriltataki, and Sajam, whose content all pushed me in this direction and influenced the way I presented this video.Music Used-----------------------Django Django - Guilty Gear XrdStarry Story - Guilty Gear Xrd

GGXXAC+R GGPO Beta 1 Nov 2020 GenericSoda 2020-11-02 | Footage from earlier this evening of the Accent Core+R rollback beta. After picking an even more garish color for Anji I think I'm playing a bit better. I'm still not using FRC's as much as I ought and my neutral is still crap but I'm having a lot of fun figuring out the right positioning with him. Hopefully once GGPO gets implemented proper and/or I give him a shot in Strive, my play with Anji will have improved somewhat.
GGXXAC+R GGPO Beta 29 Oct 2020 GenericSoda 2020-10-30 | A few matches from this evening for the Accent Core+R GGPO Beta. Anji's reveal for Strive got me to mess around with him, and even though I'm not very good with him yet he's pretty fun.As for the beta itself I only had one issue with, that being a match just didn't let me or my opponent move after it started. If you're interested in playing fighting games, the beta will only be up for a short time, but this version of Guilty Gear is very inexpensive on Steam right now, only $3! I recommend giving it a shot, and if you'd like to ask any questions I'll answer as best I can.
