If I get it it will be on PC. I'm going to wait and see how well it's working first, but most of the Arc Sys games on pc seem to have been pretty good for me so far.
Is zato also a lot different this version? I didn't play him in the old games. I cant remember the dudes name but he knocked me out of tier 8 twice yesterday when I was playing nagoriyuki. He had the ultimate edition blue skin. I honestly might pick him up this time around. Always wanted to play him and Johnny.I'm not sure but that could've been me.I only play Zato. We can run some sets soon if you want.
Nope, Zato is pretty much the same as he always was in terms of gameplay. There were some nerfs (wrote about them last page) but he still imo is very good. You just need time to adjust to the idea you're basicaly controling 2 characters at the same time. You need to master negative edge, it's a must with Zato and Eddie.
I'm waiting for PC but am looking forward to more Nagoriyuki.
As far as losing a match in the dumbest way possible... try having an almost perfect then popping ur blood meter because enemy burst before you can land the heavies at the end of combo. Then u get to watch ur hp commit hari kari right before ur opponent becomes aggressive as all hell smelling blood in the water. I really like Nagoriyuki and having a lot of fun but I hope he gets a bit of a rework as far as how blood meter works when it pops.I've played a few hours and it runs beautifully. Now, I had some unbearable stuttering on the American East Coast server, but when I switched to the West Coast all the inconveniences were gone. South America worked great too.
Some players reported having problems to match up and other connection issues. I guess nobody expected this game's servers to be as overwhelmed as they are right now, I mean:
It's only 4000 players away from the all-time peak of Mortal Kombat 11. This is crazy, Guilty Gear is nowhere near as popular as MK.

I hate it when I lose a match in the dumbest way possible. Like jumping and landing on top of the opponent's projectile. JESUS
But I'm enjoying it a lot so far. When is Jack-O !
Ask and you shall receive!
Ya the problem is if you do a combo that ends in 6h tp forward then they try to mash buttons and eat a close slash so you do another combo (which you plan to end in 2x 6h for wall break and lots of blood gauge coming back) and they burst right after u use all ur special moves. You will go into blood rage unless u can run in and command grab. Burst kinda makes the mechanic hard to deal with from what I can tell so far unless u just never go past 50% blood rage while they have burst. But that extremely limits what u can do after you knock someone down.
Nago has very damaging options when he's high on blood and can opt to use bloodless combo routes when he needs to, and the added damage to his HS buttons helps him cash out without special moves. Any time you land an HS you've refunded at least a dash, so those are easy to keep working with in between hits. SSS RC SSS is great for bloodless damage and corner carry/wall break, or 2S>5HS, and super is a great option here as well as it will prevent their burst if you smell one coming and then reduce the blood gauge on hit.
Thank you.
Next time I have time to play I will try to experiment with some bloodless combo routes. And the burst is not like you are saying right after I land a close slash. Say I am at 1.5 blood gauge and I land a 5k cuz he woke up buttons then i do 5k 6k dp dash cancel 5k(they burst here) cS 6h. Normally that is a bad burst vs any other character but this will mean nago won't get the blood returned to him from the 6h that would have lowered his blood gauge. I will check out some bloodless routes and see what I could swap out there. Slash combos seem to scale an assload tho for some reason.
Here's what I've got for that situation at 1.5 so far:
his pokes have an assload of range (esp 2h or 5h when u got blood up a bit).
All these options unfortunately kinda still put you in the same situation. I am trying to find a solution basically that doesn't leave me right at the tip top of the blood meter especially if they burst after a special and don't allow you to get a H/6H in. Last time I played I was going to look into some metered routes to use while they have burst and I am over 1.5 blood. Do you have any such thing? Decent damage rc route without any added blood other than 236k? My modem died yesterday suddenly in the morning and I can't play until tomorrow when they send someone to replace it. But was going to lab how to spend meter with Nago in meaningful ways (cashing out combos/blue rc). Atm I am only using super and purple rc on whiffed 2h. Also red rc when I do like 236 Slash 236k on block into command grab red RC.
I hear you but being high on blood isn't actually a bad thing for Nago since you can choose to not dash in and use your big buttons while they're powered up and shift things into mid screen control. Ending things into 6H is the important part and that's what these routes give him, and 6K CH staggers so if you land this as a meaty you're close enough to combo into bite as another option if you still want to go in. 623H knockdown you can dash forward, whiff 2K and meaty 6K but I haven't tested it a whole lot yet.
No one with a staff currently. However, if you're looking for someone with high range normals, Nagoriyuki, Ramlethal, and Axl are your best bet.
