    Here we are with your Tips and Tricks guide for Testament in GG Strive! Sorry it took a bit longer than I thought to get it out but better late than never I suppose! As always covers a wide variety of topics, and there is timestamps all over the video so skip ahead to whatever makes sense for you! If you could drop a like on the video, it truly and honestly helps immensely, thank you!

    Next on the channel, time to talk some DnF Duel! My thoughts of the game after the 2nd beta honestly left me much more impressed than after the first one for a variety of reasons . After that, YES Ash crimson saga video is coming before Rugal launches! And Rugal gets the royal treatment when he drops in terms of combos and guides!

    I've been trying out Testament while looking for a main to settle on and I've watched a few videos like these, but they commit the cardinal sin of assuming the viewer knows all the specific mechanics. You don't, and I appreciate that a lot, this is the first testament video I've seen that explains the stain state at all, not to mention you go the extra step to explain why it's useful.

But they're always a *very small* demographic and 13-17 years old (less likely to throw you any cash), so it really doesn't matter at all. CZcams gets more draconian every year so do what you have to in order to keep this channel alive! You're the best in the business but undervalued by the platform.

    Roofle, what is the current state of guilty gear ? I see so many people complain about the balance of this game and how there is such a difference between the top and bottom tiers. I want to pick it up solely for testament but if the game isnt fun i dont wanna spend the money lol

    • @YoungYoung95
      @YoungYoung95 Před 2 lety

      The only overprivileged characters who need to be toned down are Leo, Ram, Sol and May. Every other character has some degree of bullshit factor but not in a way which is detrimental to the game's balance and enjoyment, all the contrary (Happy Chaos might be an exception, he is not broken per se but he is incredibly obnoxious to fight).
      Millia is a personal thing for me, she is not overprivileged or busted but i hate her with my guts because her setplay denies interaction altogether. A minor nerf to her jump-ins would solve the problem but its not really needed.
      Id say buy the game, its really good and really fun.

    • @tomasjaramillogaviria1821
      @tomasjaramillogaviria1821 Před 2 lety

      The game is pretty balanced, there's a reason most of the top player's tier lists have the worst characters at B tier. They all are pretty busted.

    • @rooflemonger
      @rooflemonger  Před 2 lety +1

      Well its not all time great or anything but I think balance is pretty decent. There is certainly lower tiers like goldlewis/anji right now but we got Season 2 around the corner in a couple months and things will only improve from there imo.
