GUILTY GEAR -STRIVE- How NOT to hate your life whilst playing this game

Step 1

If you are a newbie don't jump floors when playing tower or just don't play tower at all, play in the open-park or player lobbies if you struggle with the tower.

DON'T GET ANXIOUS IF YOU DROP FLOORS

Just try not to think about ranking in general, it doesn't really matter, if you take your time to learn the game you'll eventually get good :)

If you are a decent player just play open-park if you cant deal with the celestial challenge and the people who gate keep it.

Step 2

Learn only ONE character if you struggle to remember inputs

You'll have more fun with a character that you know how to play rather than a high damage character you don't know ♥♥♥♥ about.... or just play sol, you will win most of the time, unless your opponent has more than 2 braincells but i doubt it.

Step 3

Avoid bad matchups or characters that are a pain in the ass to fight

First try playing against different characters and avoid playing against the ones you dislike

Avoid zoners like Axl, Bridget, extremely powerful characters like Sol, Nago or Potemkin and Asukas with more than 2 braincells also avoid Ky players they are sewage rats disguised as shotos.

If you like playing against them go ahead, I just gave some examples of annoying matchups.

Step 4

Learn how to block

Learn how to punish your opponent when they whiff

Learn basic combos dont just mash for the love of GOD

Step 5

Take breaks when you get tilted there is no point in getting angry over a video game

Step 6 (optional)

Don't play chipp you will ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ explode at any given time and be miserable for the rest of your life

(ok that was a joke play whatever character you want)

Step 7

Interact with the community, learn some lore, listen to the soundtrack

This isnt really related to the game but finding people with that share the same hobbies will ease the tension when playing because you both know you just play for fun.
