The Roman Cancel has always been at the core of Guilty Gear, and now with Strive simply put the mechanic is the most complex and in-depth its ever been! This video will walk you through the basics of roman cancels, and then go more and more in depth with a lot of the applications. The advanced segment at the end is only the absolute tip of the iceberg! In time we will find even crazier things and impossibly savage setups! Timestamps placed for you to skip around in the video if you want as always.

Strive isn't that complicated compared to past titles imo. The game has a basic tutorial and a mission mode where you can essentially go through an in depth training guide with your character of choice. Just my experience playing GG1 and doing the basic missions was enough for the game to rank me as a 6th floor player (out of 10, basically putting me above half the playerbase after an hour of playing...somehow lol) If you can get it on sale someday its definitely newcomer friendly.

I am waiting for it as well, and I am glad I am not the only one waiting. it helps me feel less like I am missing out. Honestly, I think PC play will be more interesting because not having to hold a controller frees up your fingers so you can use them to execute the combos and moves you need to do. I have a feeling when I start playing I will get flashbacks of my childhood when I remember how it felt playing Mortal Combat or street fighter in the old arcades in the 90’s.

I've played GG off and on with someone who basically only plays Sol. His version of "helping" me figure this stuff out is to just tell me to watch pros and copy them until I figure it out, or go into the game's combo training mode. He's not a great teacher, obviously, so I just kinda... ignored RCs entirely. Something like this is super helpful compared to the baptism by fire I'm used to getting.

I can RC and stuff as well but I'm not sure what the most optimal option is depending on the situation. Besides that, after I get out the corner I'm unsure of how to follow up... I usually get out of the corner then get beat up or play defensive again 😂 I feel like I just have to get used to my character and know what's plus on block and stuff so I know what to do on certain situations (I play Ramlethal).
