It ruined nothing.
Who gives a frick about this honestly.
Those who give a single damn about bridget being seen as "female" are probably not even playing fighting games to begin with, be it the troons or the others.
unironically this which is why many people didnt like bridget players, not like this changed anything though
does japan still like it? i heard the xrd to strive transition and new looks really made japanese quite iffy about it but the whole bridget thing made quitee a few posts really upset (because they asked for bridget, ironically)
>does japan still like it?
devs mentioned leading up to bridget's release the game was struggling in japan, which is why they released him in the first place, your average jap doesn't like the change and/or is disregarding it, so it's unclear what the retention of players is in that region now, but they said that it had the desired effect, whether or not you believe the same people who say 90% of Strives playerbase actively played older GGs is up to you.
>release bridget because japan likes him >except they shit all over his character instead
were they moronic? people liked Bridget because he was a cute boy. Or is this a case of devs not knowing their own audience?
Before Guilty Gear XX was released, Bridget was female, and everyone who was waiting for the game's release thought Bridget was female and became really mad when they found out Bridget was male. The threads on 2ch were called: >ブリジットが男確定、で自殺した奴の数
Translation: Number of individuals that suicided over Bridget being confirmed a male.
Bridget becoming the poster boy of Otoko no Ko was something that came afterwards when people finally accepted that Bridget was a crossdressing boy and stopped writing genderbending Doujinshi and art where Slayer uses Midnight Bliss to turn Bridget into a girl.
Honestly, I hope to live until 2042 when Bridget undergoes another metamorphosis that puts his new Trasgender fans on suicide watch just like the Bridget=Girl and Bridget=Otokonoko fans.
anime fighting games are inherently autistic and for the mentally ill, so it's actually very relevant
a lot of the top players for strive are literally trannies
People who actually liked the game liked Bridget because he was a crossdressing shota
The problem is the character attracted the wrong kind of people. This character was always going to be a problem in today's climate. Either you give into the trannies and they ruin your community and game, or you spite them and deal with endless b***hing on Twitter. Both options were shit, but they picked the worst one, which will poison the franchise. The smart option was to leave this character back in the older games, but the developers were oblivious. Interest will likely continue to wane and the game will be dead in a year or so
The same niche audience that remembered him after 20 years will be the one to remember him after another 20. He'll simply never be recognized as a girl in the long run. Sorry!
Doesn't help that all the fanart sites tag him as a femboy. That's the way people tend to know characters.
the sooner troons go 41%, the sooner we can go back to enjoying femboys like bridget again

Other M is shit for way more than just the characterization of the samus, and the official game is not fan art of bridget getting railed anon. I don't enjoy Other M but still enjoyed Samus the character because of the previous characterization. why don't you just do the same?

Why don't you go and use this moron argument against people complaining their favorite series isn't getting new games instead of using it on people who's favorite series is getting sabotaged? I can't imagine you actually think this way because the double think required to even use Ganker when you think "complaining about horrible things is bad", it's nonsense

well I can't tell someone to ignore the new content if their franchise is dead anon. you claim my stance is a "moron argument" and yet yours crumbled in a singular second under basic scrutiny. also GG is hardly being sabotaged when the reception was mostly positive and the series is more alive than ever before.

Cute. However I'll only ever play another ASW game the minute they redeem themselves.
Kinda weird because there was a shitstorm on Danbooru on whether Bridget posts should be tagged as a boy or girl by default.
They just came up with the conclusion that moronic changes like this are so rare because authors know better than to mess with their canon for no reason. So it's pointless to change tagging rules over it.

This is why e621 added (lore) tags in addition to their policy of tag it as what it looks like.
Strive as a whole is already franchise poison as far as I'm concerned anyways. Bridget's a big whatever in the face of Strive just being a whack game that unfortunately made a lot of money, at least speaking relatively.
If you were able to read, you'd note I said they went with the option that invites the troons. Troons ruin any series or activity they get involved with. Giving them an invitation via Bridgette was a bad idea. Of course, going the other way would have resulted in a troon freakout and every fricking commentators saying how it's bad and how Arcs Systems needs to be an "ally' or something. A shitstorm was unavoidable so they shouldn't have bothered with the character. Now, they catered to these people. Look at shit like Games Done Quick and how troons killed that. Same shit will happen to Guilty Gear
GG was pretty dead to begin with, why do you think they made such a drastic action? Xrd couldnt even break 40k sales when it was released, it had 0 reason to lose to Blazblue. It was them trying to figure out how to have ONE (1) GG title sell and now it did. It was a series that never saw any commercial success once.
Reminder of the superior husbando >Sexier than Bridget >Looks like an actual boy, is a boy >Flashes his underwear every single match >Better personality >Better lore >Better design >Better moveset >In a better game >Will never be retconned into a troony because he died. >156 cm tall (2 cm smaller than bridget) >Basically a mesugaki shota
You are not a real gay if you don't prefer Bedman over Bridget
Define casually. You sound like the kind of guy who gets mad if his opponent knows a 3 hit combo. Two normals into a special takes like 3 minutes to learn for anyone with 3 digit iq.
Any kind of combo that you don't learn by playing but instead by practicing it in practice mode is gay autistic shit (20 hit combos and all that cringe bullshit)
So far we can think is not all Japs, only a mangina and a buch of directives.
>does japan still like it?

At least on steam it got a massive spike after the announcement, then it went back under 2.2K active players.
2.2k is the standard number for Strive a month after a new character drops. Its the norm. They just did it to increase sales since Japan wanted Bridget so much. Baiken had a similar effect.
>massive spike after the announcement, then it went back under 2.2K active players.
absolutely, people like(d) Bridget, although with the drop off i think it's safe to say there were no major retention gains(which is normal for DLC characters), but people will continue to argue about it forever because of the nature of the character/change. I think the whole point is moot because your average person doesn't like gender garbage, especially when the it effects a preexisting character that went against those kind of norms, arguing about it isn't really productive.
Not to mention, if troons want the character to keep "representing" them it needs to stay relevant, which means some troon has to be both excellent at the game, excellent at Bridget AND then Bridget needs to be top tier.
moot is a massive homosexual for not keeping /misc/ buried. he knew it drew in stormgays but he brought it back and that allowed them to organize and draw in like minded morons.
Pretty much did the opposite as every move they made with Strive was a calculated move to bolster sales whether it screwed over old players or not. Its a drastic reaction to old GG games not selling at all. I at least got rollbacl for Xrd for this which is fine. I just wish the people who hyped up Xrd when Strive released were there to actually play it. It couldnt even beat Blazblue Centralfictions numbers when it fot rollback.
I play all of them. Stuck with Venom in Xrd after years of dropping him for braindead characters like Sin. I get to at least do c.S confirms off stinger YRC but Im still garbage with him
I play Strive and I went back and tried +R and Xrd and thought they were both fine but am going to just stick with Strive instead of trying to learn multiple versions of a game at the same time.
Been in the series since the beginning. I went into Strive with an open mind and wanting to give it a chance. While I like the story's ultimate conclusion with Sol's character arc and a lot of the OST, Strive is a complete disaster and anything after that last scene with Sol and Jack-O' living together is non-canon as far as I'm concerned. I'm mostly playing Xrd now even if I'm not a huge fan of the final balance patch the game received. I've also been playing GG2. It's fun.
>forever
Anon the moment they decide that californian money isn't important anymore, they'll walk back on all of this.
His strive story isn't canon, it's lip service by a company to appease to western ideals, since that's where their playerbase is. They pretty much admitted that characters were changed in the game just to fit the new audience better, not because the actual creators wanted it.
>bridgetposter that hates fighting games
God just range ban phoneposters and twitter screencap threads. Hell range ban GG discussion since 99% of it is shitposting, bait and cope about what is or isn't canon or "daisuke's vision" with actual gameplay threads lasting as short as the fricking kofxv release threads
Every fighting game deserves threads but phoneposters like op are gonna shit up each one GG related equally because people are too stupid to not reply. Still think it's funny how of all fighting games released in the past couple of years strive's release threads managed to last the longest and be the most on topic even if that went to shit around HC's release.
>only xrd and +r deserve gameplay threads
Just as soon as they start to actually play the game instead of being homosexual larpers. The beta for Rev 2 hasnt even finished and the threads for it died on day fricking 2. Centralfiction managed to stay longer for 3 weeks, its embarassing at this point.

It seems so unnecessary when we're already farming livestock for that purpose. That and the thought of killing another human makes me really uncomfortable.

I like her and I actually play the game, though only locally with my roommates. I'd play her but her noguts and low damage makes her hard to play in a game where most characters can 2 touch her.
If you haven't watched story mode already you get 200k for completing it. If you don't care about it I think you can just skip through it and still get the W$ at the end. I highly recommend watching it though, it's actual kino because Daisuke can write when ArcSys isn't holding a gun to his head off camera mid interview. I think you get 50k for each After Story segment too but I don't remember exactly. Or just use cheat engine. Nobody cares and as long as you don't go online with it you should be fine.
then why are you still seething online?
just because people still acknowledge bridget is a femboy?

FRICKING GUILTY GEAR
Strive singlrhandedly sold more than any previous GG games before it, has the most retention and consistent play numbers too. The GG playerbase is an extreme niche vocal minority, you only need to look at the mumber ofnpeople who shat their pants because Strive wasnt like Xrd, and the number of people actually playing the rollback beta now after crying for it for months to realize youre dealing with a poser's IP. Its been like this since 2009 when Blazblue came out
Isn't the Xrd rollback beta pulling a little over 1k players? That's pretty alright for a fighting game on steam, only games that pull higher than that are SFV, Strive and Tekken 7
Its good, yes but you'd think it would pull more considering the utter meltdown this board, twitter and plebbit had when Strive came out because it wasnt like Xrd. You had a lot of gameswarring and steamchart schizophrenia with every fighting game coming out after Strive dubbing it the Strive killer, from Type Lumina to KoFXV when really the only thing that can kill Strive is SF and Tekken.
>You'd think it would pull more
Maybe if you're an absolute moron who thinks people actually play fighting games instead of complaining about them online. You must be young.

See this shit pisses me off because I've seen this shit happen since 2003, where the fake GG players would start shit with other communities and the NA competitive communities have been some of the most temperamental homosexuals to ever walk the earth, which didn't help, So you'd get people that enjoyed the games, the story, the music, the characters ect that were the actual fanbase being outnumbered by buttholes that would arbitrarily pick fights with everyone else while just fapping to baiken or bridget and the comp players in NA would start believing their own hype and making things worse by acting like Jehovah's Witnesses for the series.
I've never had anything against BlazBlue and even played it up to CS1 before realizing that it just wasn't for me. While I'm not a huge fan of BB I respect it and Mori holding the fort down until GG could continue after Sega finally fricked off with its moronic IP grab attempt. But these buttholes have been the face of GG's fanbase online for so long that people think they're all that ever existed and I fricking hate it.

Nobody gives a shit about Guilty Gear. GG is a niche within a niche and it's fans have been outnumbered by Bridget fans by orders of magnitude for a long ass time.
You don't matter.
Bridget's tertiaries fan weren't the people funding rollback for other arcsys games or even playing the only other game Bridget is currently in when it got rollback

Not necesarily. DBFZ was a contributing factor, but Strive release window and incidental vtuber marketing during a games drought and being sold as the first japanese fg to release with rollback netcode were bigger reasons. If it were just DBFZ, GBVS wouldnt have flopped.
They are really not that threatened about negative reviews of this or Gotham Knighy, it's the same thing as Netflix deals with failures, cancel and try again with something else
The whole aim is regurarly release games or entertainment in general with ''powerful'' messages to subvert and rewrite people brains by constantly pushing them into the brain until it gives up, if more people gets drawn in to like pride parades from Gotham Knight it's what they want
You wonder why the industry keeps hiring tumblr lgbt black miniorities, the reason is because most majority was convinced to be an evil criminal that needs to atone for the fatal mistake of producing media for majorities only also the desire of the weak that joined adter the strong was thrown away, being painted as a righteus saint that is corrupt inside that is promoted for focusing on the oppressed and other weak, for that they need to have the most famous series mankind made to be repainted into an all inclusive, internally miniorities focused that takes jabs and maniorities that claps because were convinced that's what they are

Something changed here ever since Bridget got released. Feels like opinions on Strive just torpedo'd, game always had haters but now they're the majority.
Fighting games in general tend to have fricking awful threads on Ganker. GG had a string of good ones a few years back in Revelator's lifespan but then the jannies moved the threads to /vg/ because they stayed on topic too much and that was pretty much it. >t. used to run netplay tournaments on /ggg/
>Fighting games in general tend to have fricking awful threads on Ganker
I've had good experiences in dickyge fighting threads at least. We should have more of those.
why d so many fighting game players troon out?
I used to watch a few vidya related youtubers who did fighting game videos and they are trooned out, latest one was big yellow.
Same as every other fricking troon. Similar to what other anon said, airdash players that love social circlejerks tend to be just as bad as speedrunners, pissy babies that can't take a hit but love trying to dole one out
I dunno those release threads I lurked in were pretty on topic and long lasting, even if only compared to the ones of fighting games released after strive. Occasional schizo or dedicated shitposter sure but even then threads did a surprisingly good job ignoring them or having 3 on topic posts for each reply to a shitposter. Just that when the Jack-o pose board spam garbage happened shit got much worse.
>Something changed here ever since Bridget got released.
nothing changed it's just that reactionaries could use the game as thinly veiled /misc/ threads now when before they didn't have much to whine about
I actually play the games, I didn't like the changes made to Strive but I let it pass because I'm not a compgay and also because the soundtrack rocks
but Bridget was the final nail in the coffin, as a gay guy, that was the most insulting thing you could do to me, turning my beloved twink shota into a troony, frick daisuke
It's the perfect combo of shit basically. >people that actually like GG are pissed at the pandering to twitter shit >japan is pissed because they liked bridget because he's a trap >trapgays are pissed because the most legacy character for them was changed >actual femboys are pissed because the character that helped a lot of them realize that their more feminine qualities didn't disqualify them from being men >culturewargays are pissed because they always are but it is a legitimate example of another out of touch company bending the knee to legitimate sociopaths >people that just want Strive to be good are pissed because ArcSys thought all of this twitter nonsense was more important than actually fixing the massive gameplay issues the game has or at the very least doing fricking ANYTHING to nerf characters like Nago or HC that make the game a uninteractive nightmare to play
Then on top of that, add ArcSys thinking they could put the issue to bed by forcing Daisuke to confirm "she" like he's an American GI in a Vietnamese POW camp in front of a radio but it just added more fuel to the fire when they could have just let things drift and cool down and troons having meltdowns that the heccin' Ganker nazis won't shut up because they """won""" already. I swear this whole thing should be a fricking case study on how to NOT handle shit like this. ArcSys chose the worst possible choice they could have gone with at every individual step of this shitshow.
you forgot to add that the only people happy with it are twitteroids, and their cheering for it is almost entirely in the form of "hell yeah we stole and broke the hecking chuds' toys!", doing more to further resentment towards troons than /misc/ could have ever dreamed.
This. Then they turn around and go "what the heck? why doesn't anyone accept us in their communities?". Despite ending up here, I wasn't raised to hate people for their differences and still generally don't. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say most people don't hate trannies because they're trannies. They hate them because they're sociopathic buttholes.
TSMT. I have no inherent issue with people being trans, problem is almost every single openly trans person I've come across is a frickwit which has given me preconceived notions whenever I come across a troony. They really need to stop using the "protected group" crap as a shield from any sort of criticism and get away with whatever they want.
I'm perfectly fine with treating them nicely if they're not buttholes.
yeah i noticed this too. i have a twitter that i use for porn and whenever i see anything gg related it is usually bridget or testament shit from people who don't play the game.
>OMG yes we successfully got rid of the most iconic GNC male in videogames by reaffirming that any boy that isn't wholly masculine is a girl PROGRESSIVE WIN!!!!
twitter trannies love enforcing gender roles more than conservatives do
I'm still in complete astonishment of how Happy Chaos is ALLOWED to be a Guilty Gear character but heaven forbid anybody else is, no they have to play fricking Strive.
Okay, I'll try my best to explain this as somebody that plays a lot of Guilty Gear at a high level.
So essentially, whatever you think about old Guilty Gear, anon, the fact is, its a character specialist franchise, which essentially means while you have a setplay based game plan, the mechanics and uniqueness of your character allows you to create unique interactions. You are not limited to just playing Sol or Ky or I-no in one way, you can essentially use your resources and tools at your disposal to create your OWN take on the character. Hence why high level players for Xrd and +R are able to be separated and have it be focused on a key component of a character.
Strive just threw all that fricking out and character game plans are intentionally homogenized to prevent complexity. Every character essentially has one or two options with very slow meter build up.
EXCEPT FOR HAPPY CHAOS. He's able to do whatever he wants. He can generate resources quickly. HC players can develop a unique style. He can switch between zoning and close range pressure on a whim. He plays more like a Guilty Gear character than one limited as most Strive characters.
>forcing Daisuke to confirm "she" like he's an American GI in a Vietnamese POW camp in front of a radio
NOOOOOOO HECKIN DAISUKE'S NOT A KEK HE WAS FOOORCED TO DO IT NOT MY PRECIOUS DAISURINO HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG >actual femboys are pissed because the character that helped a lot of them realize that their more feminine qualities didn't disqualify them from being men
Kek no comment
It doesn't fricking help that Xrd got rollback and people, even fricking content creators, are just in complete astonishment of how insane the gap between two entries are. This wasn't SFIV to SFV. Its ridiculous how much got lost between the two games. Strive should have been its own fricking game. Not riding and wearing the corpse of a character fighter.
Strive was a desperate attempt to make the IP sell. You should be thankful it was successful enough for them to consider adding rollback to Xrd. +R was an effort pushed by Team Caliburst and Mike Z with insider influence, it was a special favor.
Hence we go back to my original post that for some reason I got called out for
>On one hand, current Guilty Gear is such an insanely boring iteration of any fighting game I've ever played. It makes everything just so hilariously easy to the point of boredom and somehow homogenizes a Guilty Gear character through simplification. >On the other it was so successful that ArkSys was able to put rollback in their older games. >But now all games moving forward from ArkSys will be simplified bullshit that isn't even as remotely rewarding as Granblue even.
I just. Man.
I agree that I'm happy Strive put the IP on the map, but Christ, it makes me sad that we'll never get Ariels playable or some form, or worse, the Xrd version of Bridget, which apparently I think got leaked?
I'm only sad in what could have been but it is in fact looking a gift horse in the mouth.
why d so many fighting game players troon out?
I used to watch a few vidya related youtubers who did fighting game videos and they are trooned out, latest one was big yellow.
Fighting games attract autists. The niche anime fg subgenre attracts the most autistic ones so you get a lot of those more. Take note that this is a PURELY Western phenomenon. You literally will not be able to find this in Asia
The Venn diagram of white anime fighting game players and speed runners is a circle. One of the old +R players literally speedruns too even if he didn't become one.
the only people who stcuk around long enough were new gay smashplayers. nobody gives a shit, and the only people you're baiting with your "uwu im an anime girl" are trannimes baiting you by pretending theyre not... everyone else already moved onto the next thing or got a summer job waiting for one.
i don't give a frick about anybody's gender
but people making it a big deal out of it pisses me off, whether its proclaiming someone's trans when they're not or freaking out when someone actually is
just tell me what i can call someone and leave it at that
You are the only good poster in this godforsaken thread. I don't give a damn if venom's a gay, happy chaos is Irish or what fricking pronouns the shitter prone character uses. Gameplay is 1st and foremost important when it comes to fighting games
You shouldn't let the schizos in this thread or the ones on Twitter bother you. Fighting games are fun and it doesn't matter if you're playing Strive, xrd or +r.

Don't gotta tell me twice I learned 90% of the garbage this board spews about fighting games is bullshit by just lurking and witnessing schizos like pic related. Gonna keep playing Tekken, keep playing Strive and +R, keep playing Type Lumina, keep playing mvc3 and dbfz, and get into street fighter with 6. Frick secondaries and tertiaries.

What I hate the most is that I think a lot of people forgot what makes fighting games fun in the first place. All they wanna talk about is combos or how hard / easy something is.
it was ruined the moment strive was released. daisuke is a false god who betrayed his most loyal followers. team french caliburst are the true saviors and only through their sacred netcode can we be sheparded back to the promised land of worthwhile gameplay.
>On one hand, current Guilty Gear is such an insanely boring iteration of any fighting game I've ever played. It makes everything just so hilariously easy to the point of boredom and somehow homogenizes a Guilty Gear character through simplification. >On the other it was so successful that ArkSys was able to put rollback in their older games. >But now all games moving forward from ArkSys will be simplified bullshit that isn't even as remotely rewarding as Granblue even.
Arcsys has been simplifying the shit out their games STARTING with xrd. After that failed it was dbfz(even though it succeeded because of the ip alone), bbtag and gbfvs simplification with the natural lead up to Strive's existence.
I honestly don't understand femboygays. Like, are you actually gay? Or are you just in denial? The fact that Bridget is the most popular character in Japan should tell you something about GG's audience.
It's just one of the gay moron paths people with autism exposed to too much internet at a young age can go through. Politics autist, troony autist, femboy autist or usually atleast two at once regardless of sides they end up on.
>starting
Blazblue Calamity Trigger was them making a spiritual successor for Guilty Gear. Yes it became harder and more complex down the line, but it was a simplified fighting game nonetheless. Lets not forget Persona 4 Arena, and the shitstorm that brought up back then because of muh autocombos and muh 2 button DPs and no SRK notation
>Arcsys has been simplifying the shit out their games STARTING with xrd.
There is such a thing as simplification where it mattered. Xrd and Granblue were such surgical takes on simplification. I'm still in astonishment of the latter since it requires such practiced finesse on grounded fundamentals. Xrd only suffers in simplicity in allowing pressure to be very easy to build up but to pretend that characters don't have high if not infinite skill ceilings is a fricking lie.
FighterZ and BBTag are tag fighters. I don't know how you don't recognize the complexities in them. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is also technically simple but complex.
homie you have to be braindead Hispanic to think that dbfz is even close to bbtag or mvc3. its literally soive:tag tier lmao have a nice day pedroid. your game is party game just like soive.
>don't even play Guilty Queer >have to deal with troons being even more obnoxious about traps now because of this shit game pandering to them
fighting games were a fricking mistake
I never understand why people put real world concepts up against their fantasy scenarios.
Bridget is an animated person created without any flaws including a fully feminine face, hair, hips, and voice. It doesn't matter what the character develops writing wise, it is been hand crafted to look like a girl.
That means nothing for the real world. You cannot hand craft your creation. Falling into a delusion doesn't alter reality.
I honestly don't understand femboygays. Like, are you actually gay? Or are you just in denial? The fact that Bridget is the most popular character in Japan should tell you something about GG's audience.
That just makes Daisuke even more a Black person than he already was. Bending over and taking censorship up the ass shows you never gave a shit about your series to begin with.
He cared a lot, Answer is literally the most soulful and passion filled fighting game character ever.
But when he decided to make Strive instead of Rev 3 he gave up
>Censorship is le bad! >Except this one, this is ok
You have to be consistent with your views. If you excuse one kind of censorship over another nobody would take you seriously.
And I'm telling you that the censorship of something I care about (feminine men) is nothing compared to something that doesn't even affect anything (blood)
>blood gets censored all the time
And that excuses censorship how?
And I'm telling you that the censorship of something I care about (feminine men) is nothing compared to something that doesn't even affect anything (blood)
So its selective. For how much you rag about "bending the knee" with your post here
That just makes Daisuke even more a Black person than he already was. Bending over and taking censorship up the ass shows you never gave a shit about your series to begin with.
you sure are quick to give exceptions over others.

>China doesn't like it thought >Call it a girl 20 years later
The amounts of dumb homosexuals I've seen spouting that gnc and acceptance shit like THIS is something to look up to and not just a fetish to jerk off to is so goddamn funny. Daisuke made a joke and while people in Japan just fapped and liked art mentally ill future aids victims actually fricking related to it.

wow, you've actually done it, you're an even bigger homosexual than OP and the mods
It would've been based if Bridget had come back having fulfilled his goal of becoming more masculine and was a 7 foot tall bodybuilding gigachad with a harem of b***hes.
This sounds more moronic than dbz fans who try to imagine Gohan as a chad when he's a little b***h who keeps needing to be plot convenienced back up to relevancy because of all the kids who saw the Cell fight when it first debuted.
It is just as moronic as that Hispanic fanfiction lol Bridget is only popular because the design looks like a little girl and only morons on Ganker and twitter would be dumb enough to think that change would happen

You should stay and kick their asses in game if they're the ones playing. You know damn well the people referring to Bridget as a girl have little to no game knowledge.
Please just fricking stop. It's all so tiresome. Bridget is a guy, Daisuke is a homosexual who bends over backwards to chink censors. Frick off already.
Why do you go into threads just to insult others and make people mad by falseflagging? I know It's just you and at most 2 other people, why? are you a sociopath? do you get off to it?
>actually caring about what people might think based on character selection
1st time was funny but with this and the images you clearly are from the same mentally ill stock and should actually have a nice day
It ruined nothing.
Who gives a frick about this honestly.
Those who give a single damn about bridget being seen as "female" are probably not even playing fighting games to begin with, be it the troons or the others.
People who actually liked the game liked Bridget because he was a crossdressing shota
I remember those days, the only thing I didn't like was the whole yoyo having a dedicated button which made it hard for me to adjust.
unironically this which is why many people didnt like bridget players, not like this changed anything though
does japan still like it? i heard the xrd to strive transition and new looks really made japanese quite iffy about it but the whole bridget thing made quitee a few posts really upset (because they asked for bridget, ironically)
>does japan still like it?
devs mentioned leading up to bridget's release the game was struggling in japan, which is why they released him in the first place, your average jap doesn't like the change and/or is disregarding it, so it's unclear what the retention of players is in that region now, but they said that it had the desired effect, whether or not you believe the same people who say 90% of Strives playerbase actively played older GGs is up to you.
>release bridget because japan likes him
>except they shit all over his character instead
were they moronic? people liked Bridget because he was a cute boy. Or is this a case of devs not knowing their own audience?
ALL 3 OF THEM?
All non-newbies
Ganker is the gay anime pedo board
It's just the same loud homosexual minority
Respect oldgays
People who actually liked the game care about the gameplay, moron. Strive is shit with or without troonget
Characters > gameplay >everything else
Strive ruined the characters and gameplay
all gay men are pedophiles and rapists
>disregards the existence of bara
that pretty anti inclusive of you
Before Guilty Gear XX was released, Bridget was female, and everyone who was waiting for the game's release thought Bridget was female and became really mad when they found out Bridget was male. The threads on 2ch were called:
>ブリジットが男確定、で自殺した奴の数
Translation: Number of individuals that suicided over Bridget being confirmed a male.
Bridget becoming the poster boy of Otoko no Ko was something that came afterwards when people finally accepted that Bridget was a crossdressing boy and stopped writing genderbending Doujinshi and art where Slayer uses Midnight Bliss to turn Bridget into a girl.
Honestly, I hope to live until 2042 when Bridget undergoes another metamorphosis that puts his new Trasgender fans on suicide watch just like the Bridget=Girl and Bridget=Otokonoko fans.
anime fighting games are inherently autistic and for the mentally ill, so it's actually very relevant
a lot of the top players for strive are literally trannies
I care about how this will help the globo homosexual and larry fink black pill young impressionable white men
This, young impressionable white men should be groomed into being crossdressing twinks instead (unironically)
groom?! The groom?! Ahhhhhh
The problem is the character attracted the wrong kind of people. This character was always going to be a problem in today's climate. Either you give into the trannies and they ruin your community and game, or you spite them and deal with endless b***hing on Twitter. Both options were shit, but they picked the worst one, which will poison the franchise. The smart option was to leave this character back in the older games, but the developers were oblivious. Interest will likely continue to wane and the game will be dead in a year or so
And Bridget will be considered a woman 20 years down the road, as she was always meant to be
The same niche audience that remembered him after 20 years will be the one to remember him after another 20. He'll simply never be recognized as a girl in the long run. Sorry!
Doesn't help that all the fanart sites tag him as a femboy. That's the way people tend to know characters.
>The same niche audience that remembered him after 20 years
They'll all be dead in 20 years
No, you'll be dead in 10
41%
The irony here is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
the sooner troons go 41%, the sooner we can go back to enjoying femboys like bridget again
what's stopping you from enjoying femboy Bridget right now exactly? there is countless art of them getting and giving dick, are you so obsessed with twitter pronouns that you are incapable of enjoying the same content because of it?
its the same as how I didn't enjoy metroid other m when they made samus a sissy loser crybaby instead of a badass bounty hunter. you're obsessed with gender but the core problem is that the devs removed the 1 defining trait that made the character liked
Other M is shit for way more than just the characterization of the samus, and the official game is not fan art of bridget getting railed anon. I don't enjoy Other M but still enjoyed Samus the character because of the previous characterization. why don't you just do the same?
it turns out some people value character consistency more than you, why are you trying to have this conversation when you have opinions as terrible as liking the worst part of other m????
>it turns out some people value character consistency more than you
don't see what this has to do with just ignoring the new content and enjoying the character as they were previously
>why are you trying to have this conversation when you have opinions as terrible as liking the worst part of other m????
we just making up people's opinions now eh? I said Other M is shit TWICE in my post and somehow I actually like it lmao
>don't see what this has to do with just ignoring the new content and enjoying the character as they were previously
because it's a fricking story game with story you absolute mongoloid. if witcher 4 came out and geralt was a peaceloving hippy in it, would you tell people "just enjoy it bro who cares if the canon is ruined"
>I said Other M is shit TWICE in my post and somehow I actually like it lmao
you also said "still enjoyed Samus the character' and that's the worst part of other m for most people
>would you tell people "just enjoy it bro who cares if the canon is ruined"
no because that is not what I am saying you illiterate moron. I'm saying just ignore the new content and enjoy the character as they existed previously.
>you also said "still enjoyed Samus the character' and that's the worst part of other m for most people
Actually I said "I don't enjoy Other M but still enjoyed Samus the character because of the previous characterization" as in, Other M is shit but that didn't diminish how I felt about Samus as a character because of the previous works. I swear people here are becoming more and more incapable of reading by the day.
>>no because that is not what I am saying you illiterate moron. I'm saying just ignore the new content and enjoy the character as they existed previously.
Why don't you go and use this moron argument against people complaining their favorite series isn't getting new games instead of using it on people who's favorite series is getting sabotaged? I can't imagine you actually think this way because the double think required to even use Ganker when you think "complaining about horrible things is bad", it's nonsense
>Why don't you go and use this moron argument against people complaining their favorite series isn't getting new games instead of using it on people who's favorite series is getting sabotaged?
well I can't tell someone to ignore the new content if their franchise is dead anon. you claim my stance is a "moron argument" and yet yours crumbled in a singular second under basic scrutiny. also GG is hardly being sabotaged when the reception was mostly positive and the series is more alive than ever before.
holy shit you are actually braindead if you don't have the reading comprehension to understand that I said "enjoy the character as they existed previously.". This is the last time I'm wasting my breath on you because you can't even handle reading your own words or understanding what you typed.
>no u
lmao you're doing yourself a favor by bowing out anon, enjoy being mad about a thing you can easily ignore I guess
because barely anyone on this board or the people who still partake in this discourse 2 months later actually care about the game or the character they just use it for fap fuel

Cute. However I'll only ever play another ASW game the minute they redeem themselves.
I find it hilarious and sad that Danbooru actually rejected this because the mods got assblasted over the "he".
It's on Gelbooru at least.
https://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=7675181
Kinda weird because there was a shitstorm on Danbooru on whether Bridget posts should be tagged as a boy or girl by default.
They just came up with the conclusion that moronic changes like this are so rare because authors know better than to mess with their canon for no reason. So it's pointless to change tagging rules over it.
This is why e621 added (lore) tags in addition to their policy of tag it as what it looks like.
>spoiler
their tags are a shitshow already
Strive as a whole is already franchise poison as far as I'm concerned anyways. Bridget's a big whatever in the face of Strive just being a whack game that unfortunately made a lot of money, at least speaking relatively.

If you were able to read, you'd note I said they went with the option that invites the troons. Troons ruin any series or activity they get involved with. Giving them an invitation via Bridgette was a bad idea. Of course, going the other way would have resulted in a troon freakout and every fricking commentators saying how it's bad and how Arcs Systems needs to be an "ally' or something. A shitstorm was unavoidable so they shouldn't have bothered with the character. Now, they catered to these people. Look at shit like Games Done Quick and how troons killed that. Same shit will happen to Guilty Gear
GG was pretty dead to begin with, why do you think they made such a drastic action? Xrd couldnt even break 40k sales when it was released, it had 0 reason to lose to Blazblue. It was them trying to figure out how to have ONE (1) GG title sell and now it did. It was a series that never saw any commercial success once.

What game?
Xrd

>Bedman
I see, quite literal for the name.
Apparently his Bed is in Strive's story mode (didn't play that garbage game so I dunno), maybe he'll come back as just Bed
His little sister is in the game I think, maybe it'll be her using the bed.
today I learned what mesugaki is
Living is learning
Why do we allow Ganker to discuss fighting games? None of you have enough brain cells for them.
Because fighting games are meant to be played casually and competitive homosexuals and esports are autistic shit for manchildren
Define casually. You sound like the kind of guy who gets mad if his opponent knows a 3 hit combo. Two normals into a special takes like 3 minutes to learn for anyone with 3 digit iq.
Any kind of combo that you don't learn by playing but instead by practicing it in practice mode is gay autistic shit (20 hit combos and all that cringe bullshit)

That's how everyone should play games

But Anon, there is nothing more fun than playing like a moron and still beating those virgin nolife losers who spend 30 hours a day on practice mode

>grooming is… LE GOOD!
I expect this kind of shit from muttland devs but Japan? They should be ashamed
So far we can think is not all Japs, only a mangina and a buch of directives.
At least on steam it got a massive spike after the announcement, then it went back under 2.2K active players.
2.2k is the standard number for Strive a month after a new character drops. Its the norm. They just did it to increase sales since Japan wanted Bridget so much. Baiken had a similar effect.
>massive spike after the announcement, then it went back under 2.2K active players.
absolutely, people like(d) Bridget, although with the drop off i think it's safe to say there were no major retention gains(which is normal for DLC characters), but people will continue to argue about it forever because of the nature of the character/change. I think the whole point is moot because your average person doesn't like gender garbage, especially when the it effects a preexisting character that went against those kind of norms, arguing about it isn't really productive.
Not to mention, if troons want the character to keep "representing" them it needs to stay relevant, which means some troon has to be both excellent at the game, excellent at Bridget AND then Bridget needs to be top tier.
I don't care what Bridget identifies as
I want to suck his wiener and have lots of hot sweaty gay sex with him

moot is a massive homosexual for not keeping /misc/ buried. he knew it drew in stormgays but he brought it back and that allowed them to organize and draw in like minded morons.
Pretty much did the opposite as every move they made with Strive was a calculated move to bolster sales whether it screwed over old players or not. Its a drastic reaction to old GG games not selling at all. I at least got rollbacl for Xrd for this which is fine. I just wish the people who hyped up Xrd when Strive released were there to actually play it. It couldnt even beat Blazblue Centralfictions numbers when it fot rollback.
I play +R where Bridget is still a boy so I literally could not give any less of a frick
Anyone here actually plays Guilty Gear?
i played Strive for awhile, now, and before Strive, i play/played Xrd.
I play all of them. Stuck with Venom in Xrd after years of dropping him for braindead characters like Sin. I get to at least do c.S confirms off stinger YRC but Im still garbage with him
I play casually but I didn't play the games past AC+, I am only using strive for mods, the game feels horribly slow.
I play Strive and I went back and tried +R and Xrd and thought they were both fine but am going to just stick with Strive instead of trying to learn multiple versions of a game at the same time.
Sometimes i play AC+
no
but I did use to fap to some bridget bussy back in the day
Yeah, not every night though. I tend to take breaks and play other genres or games
Been in the series since the beginning. I went into Strive with an open mind and wanting to give it a chance. While I like the story's ultimate conclusion with Sol's character arc and a lot of the OST, Strive is a complete disaster and anything after that last scene with Sol and Jack-O' living together is non-canon as far as I'm concerned. I'm mostly playing Xrd now even if I'm not a huge fan of the final balance patch the game received. I've also been playing GG2. It's fun.
This joke was funny the first 3 years it was posted
So every trap liker is bisexual, since every trap has a penis, which is a masculine feature
thus, every trap liker is gay
Who cares for GG anymore?
me
More than anyone has ever been since GG has always been niche.
Who cares. Strive has trash writing all around. There's no reason to consider it canon. It doesn't even have an X in the title.
Homosexual men are sexually attracted to members of the same sex. It's in the name.
bridget really had trans people admitting that grooming is good and/or not a problem
>
SEX!!!!! SEX WITH NECO ARC!!
>forever
Anon the moment they decide that californian money isn't important anymore, they'll walk back on all of this.
His strive story isn't canon, it's lip service by a company to appease to western ideals, since that's where their playerbase is. They pretty much admitted that characters were changed in the game just to fit the new audience better, not because the actual creators wanted it.
cope
Still not considering him a boy since there's no reason to believe even the devs consider him one

Yes
>That nervous expression Bridget has that just screams "please help me" in the last panel
I genuinely feel bad that people are so mindbroken by trannies they make this shit. that and the countless wojack edits, I legitimately pity those people.
I don't consume human flesh nor do I live underground. I don't hate trannies over political bullshit. I hate them because people I care about have been hurt by their gaslighting.
Nothing Biden has done has had any effect on my life.
>I don't consume human flesh
Why not?
It seems so unnecessary when we're already farming livestock for that purpose. That and the thought of killing another human makes me really uncomfortable.
What if I want to be a girl in spite of the grooming and not because of it tho
No, that's actually you giving it free advertising doing it.
That's why they really added it - they knew you'd keep posting about it because ragebait is all they know now.
There's a reason they still haven't said the magic word, by the way. They're not trans, it's just to get you marketing for them.

She created buzz and putted the franchise in the spotlight.

if it wasn't for Strive the rest of the Arcsys catalog wouldn't have gotten rollback anon. more people are playing GG than ever before thanks to it and to deny this is to deny reality

This is proof that we live in a good timeline
Well as long as japs acknowledge him as a boy we'll get cute content of him
nothing in the bio states Bridget is a transsexual, she is a male who goes by she / her. drag queens do the same shit all the time
stop being delusional
this. gays have called each other queens for years now
only normalgays do that
I call my fellow gays homosexual
All I know is that I'm never playing Bridget again because I don't want people to think I'm a troony
I'm just a homosexual man, thank god I still have Venom
Honestly I would rather be trans than gay. At least I still get to enjoy femininity.
homie have a nice day
i would rather be gay, but lets be real fully passing troonoids are way more pleasant to look at than stereotypical homosexuals like bear shitters
Anyone else hate his new design?
they made him fat and old, I want my gay shota back

I don't like it either but they made every dude bigger. Even Chipp is massive compared to the old games.
Am I weird for thinking he looks older in his old design?
Yes
>slim
>thin arms and legs
>thin body
>literally a little boy
while his strive design is just a chubby femboy
I want my shota onahole back
SEXOOO
pit people are weirder than feet people and i say this as someone who likes neither
As someone who likes both I agree
I don't know. He just looks like a lanky mid-late teen anime boy to me.
His vastedge design is legitimately what they should have stuck with
I hate his new model even more. It's just may in different clothes. Peak laziness.
it's literally just mays base model with some minor changes to the neck up.
Poofy clothes now. Not fat.

This is all so tiring. Can we finally admit that we like them regardless of its sexual orientation?
I like him.
that would work as long as people don't talk about the topic or use the pronoun
I like her and I actually play the game, though only locally with my roommates. I'd play her but her noguts and low damage makes her hard to play in a game where most characters can 2 touch her.
This. She/he (whatever) is fun to play, since I am bad with all the characters, I don't care if I lose anyway.
stop saying she

Make me, you double nagger.

How long until they ruin Baiken?
I feel like there are a LOT of people that love Baiken, like 2000x more than Bridget, it'd cause a real outrage if they made her transmasc
I will fricking cry. DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU PEOPLE DO TO ME?! YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY!!
Is there a reason Ganker never actually discusses games and instead just things surrounding them?
If you want to discuss games so much how come you aren't in my Shinobido thread?
Bridget didn't do anything wrong, blame the Americans and the director for playing to the Americans.
she cute, love her dick
Bridget if he sex
See filename
why so many guys in guilty gear show their underwear? Bridget (r+), Bedman and Zappa
Well its funny anyway
It's to make the other player too horny to win

Do I have to buy DLC to bed this man?
I bedded your mom if you catch my drift.
Hello, my estranged son.
Frick you dad. I'm glad you left. My life was so much worse when all the household funds were being spent on booze.
there are no DLC characters in rev 2 if memory serves, just colors and announcer voices. just know that bedman isn't very good
Anyone know how to get easy money on Xrd? online matches gives so little
Do I really have to sit through 5 hours of cutscenes of stuff I already know happens on story mode?
If you haven't watched story mode already you get 200k for completing it. If you don't care about it I think you can just skip through it and still get the W$ at the end. I highly recommend watching it though, it's actual kino because Daisuke can write when ArcSys isn't holding a gun to his head off camera mid interview. I think you get 50k for each After Story segment too but I don't remember exactly. Or just use cheat engine. Nobody cares and as long as you don't go online with it you should be fine.
Read my post again, I already know the whole story... but I can't skip it, I have to mash A

I wonder what the symbol on Bridget's hat means
It kind of reminds me of something people like Bridget will always be...
you lost, cope harder
then why are you still seething online?
just because people still acknowledge bridget is a femboy?
sorry! all your efforts were for nothing, we'll not let you appropriate him <3
>he said while continuing to seethe whenever someone says "nah"
All I know is that in Strive they changed it to an androgynous symbol, apparently a male-leaning one iirc.
I wonder what these moonrunes mean
wake me up when they hold the same position consistently for 20 years, if you're still alive then that is. In the mean time im going to stick with femboy.
They've been planning this Bridget thing for at least a year, so I'll see you in 19 years Anon.
They already do. See you in 20 years.
That's not even made by arcsys you twat. Go seek therapy because I don't think your delusions will last another 20 years.
Seems like pandering tbh. I'll hold the consistent position that he's a femboy

Lmao
you don't even know what idpol meant when he said two camps of morons do you?
Game's population peaks at 2k on steam and GENEROUSLY assuming that the console population is 10 times higher that'd only be 20k ish. The game is fricking dead homosexual, just like you will be at age 30.
You dumb fricking poser in what world is a fighting game with 2k or more daily peaks is dead?
Anon, do you know the usual numbers for 2D fighting games, let alone airdashers?
If someone told me a Guilty Gear game would get consistent 1000 players 4 years ago I wouldve called them delusional.

>the game does extremely well

pick one
nta, autistic gays who complain about video games on twitter never play video games in the first place. strive did extremely well
Strive singlrhandedly sold more than any previous GG games before it, has the most retention and consistent play numbers too. The GG playerbase is an extreme niche vocal minority, you only need to look at the mumber ofnpeople who shat their pants because Strive wasnt like Xrd, and the number of people actually playing the rollback beta now after crying for it for months to realize youre dealing with a poser's IP. Its been like this since 2009 when Blazblue came out
Isn't the Xrd rollback beta pulling a little over 1k players? That's pretty alright for a fighting game on steam, only games that pull higher than that are SFV, Strive and Tekken 7
Its good, yes but you'd think it would pull more considering the utter meltdown this board, twitter and plebbit had when Strive came out because it wasnt like Xrd. You had a lot of gameswarring and steamchart schizophrenia with every fighting game coming out after Strive dubbing it the Strive killer, from Type Lumina to KoFXV when really the only thing that can kill Strive is SF and Tekken.
>You'd think it would pull more
Maybe if you're an absolute moron who thinks people actually play fighting games instead of complaining about them online. You must be young.
Except im saying just that GG is a poser's series, and there are a lot more people being upset about it than actually playing it, its been that way since Blazblue
Anon GG has always been a poser series. People called BB players blazbabies when it came out, baiken fans in the west were a meme for the longest time.
Been dealing with annoying Guilty Gear gays since Calamity Trigger. This troony nonsense is a divine punishment. They get what they fricking deserve.
See this shit pisses me off because I've seen this shit happen since 2003, where the fake GG players would start shit with other communities and the NA competitive communities have been some of the most temperamental homosexuals to ever walk the earth, which didn't help, So you'd get people that enjoyed the games, the story, the music, the characters ect that were the actual fanbase being outnumbered by buttholes that would arbitrarily pick fights with everyone else while just fapping to baiken or bridget and the comp players in NA would start believing their own hype and making things worse by acting like Jehovah's Witnesses for the series.
I've never had anything against BlazBlue and even played it up to CS1 before realizing that it just wasn't for me. While I'm not a huge fan of BB I respect it and Mori holding the fort down until GG could continue after Sega finally fricked off with its moronic IP grab attempt. But these buttholes have been the face of GG's fanbase online for so long that people think they're all that ever existed and I fricking hate it.
I tried to play BB but I couldn't, guess the best I can do when it comes to a "complex" system is Darkstalkers.
I dont blame you. I play all sorts of anime fighters, and BB is gimmick central when you reach a certain level. Lots of things to take note of, knowledge checks everywhere and OS' you need to be aware of.
do you lack reading comprehension? If I say two autistic gays and put a parentheses right after saying both groups did not play what does that mean?
Bridget's tertiaries fan weren't the people funding rollback for other arcsys games or even playing the only other game Bridget is currently in when it got rollback
Nobody gives a shit about Guilty Gear. GG is a niche within a niche and it's fans have been outnumbered by Bridget fans by orders of magnitude for a long ass time.
You don't matter.
I would argue those who support the game financially and keep it alive playerbase wise matter much more than cry babies on trigger and Ganker
The only reason Strive sold was because it was made by the devs who made DBFZ. GGgays had nothing to do with it.
Not necesarily. DBFZ was a contributing factor, but Strive release window and incidental vtuber marketing during a games drought and being sold as the first japanese fg to release with rollback netcode were bigger reasons. If it were just DBFZ, GBVS wouldnt have flopped.
the game was on a decline before and it's fricking dead with sf6
They are really not that threatened about negative reviews of this or Gotham Knighy, it's the same thing as Netflix deals with failures, cancel and try again with something else
The whole aim is regurarly release games or entertainment in general with ''powerful'' messages to subvert and rewrite people brains by constantly pushing them into the brain until it gives up, if more people gets drawn in to like pride parades from Gotham Knight it's what they want
You wonder why the industry keeps hiring tumblr lgbt black miniorities, the reason is because most majority was convinced to be an evil criminal that needs to atone for the fatal mistake of producing media for majorities only also the desire of the weak that joined adter the strong was thrown away, being painted as a righteus saint that is corrupt inside that is promoted for focusing on the oppressed and other weak, for that they need to have the most famous series mankind made to be repainted into an all inclusive, internally miniorities focused that takes jabs and maniorities that claps because were convinced that's what they are
It's not Just gaming or television, but whole entertainment in general and it's only gonna get worse
Technically twitter cultists ruined the character and then the actual devs gave in to the cultist chants and bent the knee to them.
this is my favorite cope
>nooo the devs wouldn't have done this if it wasn't for THOSE FILTHY SJWs
anon I promise you japanese devs do not care about western twitter idpol
>people who don't play fighting games getting mad at fighting games they don't play
Something changed here ever since Bridget got released. Feels like opinions on Strive just torpedo'd, game always had haters but now they're the majority.
It became another victim of the culture war
It's not like GG threads on Ganker were any good since Strive dropped anyway
Fighting games in general tend to have fricking awful threads on Ganker. GG had a string of good ones a few years back in Revelator's lifespan but then the jannies moved the threads to /vg/ because they stayed on topic too much and that was pretty much it.
>t. used to run netplay tournaments on /ggg/
The only fighting game I can think of that had actually consistently good threads was UNI
And then they died
Whatever happened to them?
Bro, they lasted for 3-4 years. The game had its time in the sun but people got bored/ wanted to play new things. Also it never gt rollback.
>Fighting games in general tend to have fricking awful threads on Ganker
I've had good experiences in dickyge fighting threads at least. We should have more of those.
>dickyge
arcana heart?
That and Nitroplug
Same as every other fricking troon. Similar to what other anon said, airdash players that love social circlejerks tend to be just as bad as speedrunners, pissy babies that can't take a hit but love trying to dole one out
You seem to like Bedman so have this MS Paint Bedman I drew a few years back.
Cute! I'll use it as my steam pfp now
I dunno those release threads I lurked in were pretty on topic and long lasting, even if only compared to the ones of fighting games released after strive. Occasional schizo or dedicated shitposter sure but even then threads did a surprisingly good job ignoring them or having 3 on topic posts for each reply to a shitposter. Just that when the Jack-o pose board spam garbage happened shit got much worse.
>Something changed here ever since Bridget got released.
nothing changed it's just that reactionaries could use the game as thinly veiled /misc/ threads now when before they didn't have much to whine about
I actually play the games, I didn't like the changes made to Strive but I let it pass because I'm not a compgay and also because the soundtrack rocks
but Bridget was the final nail in the coffin, as a gay guy, that was the most insulting thing you could do to me, turning my beloved twink shota into a troony, frick daisuke
It's the perfect combo of shit basically.
>people that actually like GG are pissed at the pandering to twitter shit
>japan is pissed because they liked bridget because he's a trap
>trapgays are pissed because the most legacy character for them was changed
>actual femboys are pissed because the character that helped a lot of them realize that their more feminine qualities didn't disqualify them from being men
>culturewargays are pissed because they always are but it is a legitimate example of another out of touch company bending the knee to legitimate sociopaths
>people that just want Strive to be good are pissed because ArcSys thought all of this twitter nonsense was more important than actually fixing the massive gameplay issues the game has or at the very least doing fricking ANYTHING to nerf characters like Nago or HC that make the game a uninteractive nightmare to play
Then on top of that, add ArcSys thinking they could put the issue to bed by forcing Daisuke to confirm "she" like he's an American GI in a Vietnamese POW camp in front of a radio but it just added more fuel to the fire when they could have just let things drift and cool down and troons having meltdowns that the heccin' Ganker nazis won't shut up because they """won""" already. I swear this whole thing should be a fricking case study on how to NOT handle shit like this. ArcSys chose the worst possible choice they could have gone with at every individual step of this shitshow.
you forgot to add that the only people happy with it are twitteroids, and their cheering for it is almost entirely in the form of "hell yeah we stole and broke the hecking chuds' toys!", doing more to further resentment towards troons than /misc/ could have ever dreamed.
This. Then they turn around and go "what the heck? why doesn't anyone accept us in their communities?". Despite ending up here, I wasn't raised to hate people for their differences and still generally don't. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say most people don't hate trannies because they're trannies. They hate them because they're sociopathic buttholes.
TSMT. I have no inherent issue with people being trans, problem is almost every single openly trans person I've come across is a frickwit which has given me preconceived notions whenever I come across a troony. They really need to stop using the "protected group" crap as a shield from any sort of criticism and get away with whatever they want.
I'm perfectly fine with treating them nicely if they're not buttholes.
yeah i noticed this too. i have a twitter that i use for porn and whenever i see anything gg related it is usually bridget or testament shit from people who don't play the game.
>OMG yes we successfully got rid of the most iconic GNC male in videogames by reaffirming that any boy that isn't wholly masculine is a girl PROGRESSIVE WIN!!!!
twitter trannies love enforcing gender roles more than conservatives do
Can confirm, I'm fairly conservative and don't even obsess over this shit that much
>a legitimate example of another out of touch company bending the knee to legitimate sociopaths
Bit of pot calling the kettle black I think
How so? Genuinely asking.
I'm still in complete astonishment of how Happy Chaos is ALLOWED to be a Guilty Gear character but heaven forbid anybody else is, no they have to play fricking Strive.
I don't get what your post is trying to say
Okay, I'll try my best to explain this as somebody that plays a lot of Guilty Gear at a high level.
So essentially, whatever you think about old Guilty Gear, anon, the fact is, its a character specialist franchise, which essentially means while you have a setplay based game plan, the mechanics and uniqueness of your character allows you to create unique interactions. You are not limited to just playing Sol or Ky or I-no in one way, you can essentially use your resources and tools at your disposal to create your OWN take on the character. Hence why high level players for Xrd and +R are able to be separated and have it be focused on a key component of a character.
Strive just threw all that fricking out and character game plans are intentionally homogenized to prevent complexity. Every character essentially has one or two options with very slow meter build up.
EXCEPT FOR HAPPY CHAOS. He's able to do whatever he wants. He can generate resources quickly. HC players can develop a unique style. He can switch between zoning and close range pressure on a whim. He plays more like a Guilty Gear character than one limited as most Strive characters.
Its how the frick he's top tier.
I agree with you
>forcing Daisuke to confirm "she" like he's an American GI in a Vietnamese POW camp in front of a radio
NOOOOOOO HECKIN DAISUKE'S NOT A KEK HE WAS FOOORCED TO DO IT NOT MY PRECIOUS DAISURINO HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG
>actual femboys are pissed because the character that helped a lot of them realize that their more feminine qualities didn't disqualify them from being men
Kek no comment
>Kek no comment
It's true though, for me at least, what are you trying to say?
>for me at least
Yup, it adds up.
I'm NTA
It doesn't fricking help that Xrd got rollback and people, even fricking content creators, are just in complete astonishment of how insane the gap between two entries are. This wasn't SFIV to SFV. Its ridiculous how much got lost between the two games. Strive should have been its own fricking game. Not riding and wearing the corpse of a character fighter.
Strive was a desperate attempt to make the IP sell. You should be thankful it was successful enough for them to consider adding rollback to Xrd. +R was an effort pushed by Team Caliburst and Mike Z with insider influence, it was a special favor.
Hence we go back to my original post that for some reason I got called out for
I agree that I'm happy Strive put the IP on the map, but Christ, it makes me sad that we'll never get Ariels playable or some form, or worse, the Xrd version of Bridget, which apparently I think got leaked?
I'm only sad in what could have been but it is in fact looking a gift horse in the mouth.
I'm enjoying the Xrd beta. At least there's that.
Is there art of Bridget with HRT breasts, lactating even? Shit makes me diamond.
>tfw imagining the future appearances as full on hot shemale bimbo
I don't get it.
Is this reddit or based?

why d so many fighting game players troon out?
I used to watch a few vidya related youtubers who did fighting game videos and they are trooned out, latest one was big yellow.
Fighting games attract autists. The niche anime fg subgenre attracts the most autistic ones so you get a lot of those more. Take note that this is a PURELY Western phenomenon. You literally will not be able to find this in Asia
The Venn diagram of white anime fighting game players and speed runners is a circle. One of the old +R players literally speedruns too even if he didn't become one.
they don't
it's just Americans and they are 20 times louder than everyone else
>GG stopped being good with X.
Uhh based take, frick Mori's influence
Imagine Bridget humping that teddy until he finishes

>she
>Baiken mains when her theme reaches 4:54
the only people who stcuk around long enough were new gay smashplayers. nobody gives a shit, and the only people you're baiting with your "uwu im an anime girl" are trannimes baiting you by pretending theyre not... everyone else already moved onto the next thing or got a summer job waiting for one.
>mfw really loved guilty gear as a series but Bridget completely ruined it unironically
I just can't do this man, Testament made sense so it was ok but this is just low quality..
i don't give a frick about anybody's gender
but people making it a big deal out of it pisses me off, whether its proclaiming someone's trans when they're not or freaking out when someone actually is
just tell me what i can call someone and leave it at that
I unironically wanted Bridget back up until Testament got revealed and then I no longer wanted Bridget back.
Nothing wrong happened with Testament, he's not "nonbinary" he just has no gender because his mind and body are fricked up
No I don't mind Testament, it's just I knew exactly what was going to happen once he showed up the way he did.
Really? I thought they did a good job with Testaments gameplay in Strive. I also like what they did with Bridget as well gameplay wise.
Bridget could have the best gameplay he ever had but if he's a fricking troony he can frick off.
It's like making Nightmare gay.
Ah I guess I'm just more of a gameplay guy. I don't care about story modes in fighting games but I guess someone has too.
I guess gameplay is king in my mind. But I generally like playing them more than talking about lore.
You are the only good poster in this godforsaken thread. I don't give a damn if venom's a gay, happy chaos is Irish or what fricking pronouns the shitter prone character uses. Gameplay is 1st and foremost important when it comes to fighting games
t. combofiend.
You shouldn't let the schizos in this thread or the ones on Twitter bother you. Fighting games are fun and it doesn't matter if you're playing Strive, xrd or +r.
Don't gotta tell me twice I learned 90% of the garbage this board spews about fighting games is bullshit by just lurking and witnessing schizos like pic related. Gonna keep playing Tekken, keep playing Strive and +R, keep playing Type Lumina, keep playing mvc3 and dbfz, and get into street fighter with 6. Frick secondaries and tertiaries.
What I hate the most is that I think a lot of people forgot what makes fighting games fun in the first place. All they wanna talk about is combos or how hard / easy something is.
You know damn well what matters most is character
If let's say, they add Scorpion from Mortal Kombat to the game, I'm not going to play him even if he fits my playstyle, because I don't like Scorpion
>I don't like Scorpion
Lin Kuei hands wrote this post
Don't care, I will keep fapping to Bridget like I used to
Someone sell it goddamnit.
Speaking of, how come Strive doesn't have badges and backgrounds and what-not yet? Don't all the other games already have these?
devs have to add it and I doubt they care right now with actual game development still going. probably will be added eventually.
I hope so, I need better backgrounds for Bridget, Baiken, and May than those that are currently available from the other titles.
because the devs don't care
it's just a matter of uploading a bunch of shit, no other reason
Potemkin is cooler without his helmet
it was ruined the moment strive was released. daisuke is a false god who betrayed his most loyal followers. team french caliburst are the true saviors and only through their sacred netcode can we be sheparded back to the promised land of worthwhile gameplay.
>makes tranners and Ganker both seethe

Rest in Peace Guilty Gear
1998-2022
You gays said this with Blazblue in 2009 amd b***hed about it for 5 years straight
I don't care about Blazblue at all, it has shit characters so I won't play it
Yeah so you and your ilk spent time saying Guilty Gear was dead when Blazblue came out. Its overdramatic nonsense.
?
Blazblue dancing! It is the best game!
Don't care, shit characters
Nooooo.
You're the same homie who kept calling Bridget a girl and I have no intent in discussing it with you
No I didn't, I literally do not care about Blazblue, I am mentioning it for the first time in years right now
What no I didn't. I just think the dancing is funny.
He was completely correct.

>On one hand, current Guilty Gear is such an insanely boring iteration of any fighting game I've ever played. It makes everything just so hilariously easy to the point of boredom and somehow homogenizes a Guilty Gear character through simplification.
>On the other it was so successful that ArkSys was able to put rollback in their older games.
>But now all games moving forward from ArkSys will be simplified bullshit that isn't even as remotely rewarding as Granblue even.
I just. Man.
I hate people like you the most.
...People that play fighting games? Okay?
You wanna go down this road, motherfricker? Let's read your attempt at this genre.
People who spell ArcSys wrong.
Fair point but I always called them ArkSys. I ain't changing that.
Oh? You wanna go? What game you wanna play? Strive? We can do Strive. I'll play that shitty game to call you out.
Why would you want to play Strive? You don't lik it. Go play something you enjoy and frick off you tard.
I swear to Christ, I don't know what I expect in these fricking threads. I get called out and you backpedal?
Pretty sure its because you combined their publisher Aksys with Arcsys
You don't play. You b***h
Arcsys has been simplifying the shit out their games STARTING with xrd. After that failed it was dbfz(even though it succeeded because of the ip alone), bbtag and gbfvs simplification with the natural lead up to Strive's existence.
It's just one of the gay moron paths people with autism exposed to too much internet at a young age can go through. Politics autist, troony autist, femboy autist or usually atleast two at once regardless of sides they end up on.
>starting
Blazblue Calamity Trigger was them making a spiritual successor for Guilty Gear. Yes it became harder and more complex down the line, but it was a simplified fighting game nonetheless. Lets not forget Persona 4 Arena, and the shitstorm that brought up back then because of muh autocombos and muh 2 button DPs and no SRK notation
>Arcsys has been simplifying the shit out their games STARTING with xrd.
There is such a thing as simplification where it mattered. Xrd and Granblue were such surgical takes on simplification. I'm still in astonishment of the latter since it requires such practiced finesse on grounded fundamentals. Xrd only suffers in simplicity in allowing pressure to be very easy to build up but to pretend that characters don't have high if not infinite skill ceilings is a fricking lie.
FighterZ and BBTag are tag fighters. I don't know how you don't recognize the complexities in them. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is also technically simple but complex.
Strive, though. Jesus Christ. It is IDIOT proof.
homie you have to be braindead Hispanic to think that dbfz is even close to bbtag or mvc3. its literally soive:tag tier lmao have a nice day pedroid. your game is party game just like soive.
>Over 300 replies
>Over 100 images
>No bridget feet.
Previous bridget thread was better.
Imagine a world where Bridget came back as a guy who defied gender norms and thus feminine twinks started being accepted once again........
>don't even play Guilty Queer
>have to deal with troons being even more obnoxious about traps now because of this shit game pandering to them
fighting games were a fricking mistake
I never understand why people put real world concepts up against their fantasy scenarios.
Bridget is an animated person created without any flaws including a fully feminine face, hair, hips, and voice. It doesn't matter what the character develops writing wise, it is been hand crafted to look like a girl.
That means nothing for the real world. You cannot hand craft your creation. Falling into a delusion doesn't alter reality.
I honestly don't understand femboygays. Like, are you actually gay? Or are you just in denial? The fact that Bridget is the most popular character in Japan should tell you something about GG's audience.
gay, moron
lads would I still enjoy naruto if I didn't grow up with it?
Yeah maybe up until the chunnin exams
guys answer my question about naruto
>Taiwan/Tibet censored in China
>China has effeminate male censor
>ESG
Gee I fricking wonder why Bridget was retconned
That just makes Daisuke even more a Black person than he already was. Bending over and taking censorship up the ass shows you never gave a shit about your series to begin with.
They already censored blood back in #Reload, you should've already been outraged back then
Who's to say I'm not? That's not even the only time I was outraged over blood in a video game.
I hate the alarm clock I chose.
He cared a lot, Answer is literally the most soulful and passion filled fighting game character ever.
But when he decided to make Strive instead of Rev 3 he gave up
>He cared a lot, Answer is literally the most soulful and passion filled fighting game character ever.
Why?
Stop acting like some little blood is the same as ruining a character
>why
The amount of little details and effort put into him is immense, they truly cared.
>Censorship is le bad!
>Except this one, this is ok
You have to be consistent with your views. If you excuse one kind of censorship over another nobody would take you seriously.
have a nice day
blood gets censored all the time, it's a non issue, and you know what I mean, are you excusing troony bridget? are you homophobic?
No, Im calling you for being a hypocrite.
And I'm telling you that the censorship of something I care about (feminine men) is nothing compared to something that doesn't even affect anything (blood)
>blood gets censored all the time
And that excuses censorship how?
So its selective. For how much you rag about "bending the knee" with your post here
you sure are quick to give exceptions over others.
?

We need to change the word homophobic and fat"phobic" to something like homodespise.
Phobic implies a fear
>draw a girl
>call it a girl
those filthy japs have gone too far this time
>draw a girl
>call it a boy for 20 years
>spawn an entire subculture out of it
>transcend the game you're in to become a legendary GNC symbol
>become the most popular character in the series based on this one aspect
>lead the way in making an entire generation more accepting
>China doesn't like it thought
>Call it a girl 20 years later
"It happened offscreen u guyz didn't see it but trust me she reallllly hated being a boy actualy"
Sounds very based to me
You're just homophobic, say it already
I like cute girls
and you hate cute guys, ok, Black person, you're ruining decades of gay acceptance
>gay acceptance
Dude, it's just a game people fap to
have a nice day man, you're unironically an evil and piece of shit person
>you're ruining decades of gay acceptance
Based based based
>trans people good
>gay people bad
The amounts of dumb homosexuals I've seen spouting that gnc and acceptance shit like THIS is something to look up to and not just a fetish to jerk off to is so goddamn funny. Daisuke made a joke and while people in Japan just fapped and liked art mentally ill future aids victims actually fricking related to it.
>gnc
?
Gender Non-Conforming.
tomboys, traps, that sort of thing
Oh twitter shit, why didn't you say so
Yeah disregard any post mentioning that shit 100% chance of being a cross site poster from twitter like pic related. gays vs gays, let em fight, blah blah
Guilty Gear literally turned this guy into a homosexual. This is the series you people enjoy.
We outnumber you b***h. You can cry about "anime website" all day but you are under our heel. The touristCHADS. The electionCHADS. The /misc/GODS. We own you. You are our vassal. I would post a BASED Wojak or Pepe along with this image but I don't want to UTTERLY shatter you just yet.
I can smell how disgusting the person behind this post is.
Let the scent fill you, reach your brain, and warp your mind. Be OBSESSED.
I don't really care. I'm only here because most of the other threads on this board suck and the only other board I like (/x/) never has anything interesting going on anyways. Be an butthole or not, I don't care.
wow, you've actually done it, you're an even bigger homosexual than OP and the mods
Always love the homos vs troonys wars
>trannies forced arcsoi to remove a gay from their game and replace it with a woman
I love it when trannies are accidentally based
i dont get why it matters that he thinks he's a girl now? you're still a bunch of creepy gay pedophiles no matter what he calls himself.
This.
You don't belong on this board or website
see
I don't get it.
It would've been based if Bridget had come back having fulfilled his goal of becoming more masculine and was a 7 foot tall bodybuilding gigachad with a harem of b***hes.
true
So just Sol but with a new color pallet?
No, he should make Sol look like a nerd in comparison. He should be able to break Sol's neck with one finger.
This sounds more moronic than dbz fans who try to imagine Gohan as a chad when he's a little b***h who keeps needing to be plot convenienced back up to relevancy because of all the kids who saw the Cell fight when it first debuted.
Hanchad is the strongest. Tardku lost and he shits in his diaper.
Why do I even bother?
It is just as moronic as that Hispanic fanfiction lol Bridget is only popular because the design looks like a little girl and only morons on Ganker and twitter would be dumb enough to think that change would happen
They raped Faust, so why not Bridget?
They half-raped May, too. Gotta appeal to that "global audience"
May looks like this in the first game. e-girl May is the devil's May.
Because they kept the most important aspect of him being a 7 foot tall , scalpel wielding doc freak like Dr baldhead even if he is a different kind of weird the same way XX and Xrd Faust is a different weird from baldhead
ML, XXACR and Strive May are the only ones worth a damn
>normalgay "weeabo" (barely) colleague got into guilty gear last year
>Literally just because of Strive
>Kind of annoying but ok, he likes playing as Ram
>Bridget comes out
>He literally only refers to bridget as "she"
>Try to correct him once and he says that "no they made her trans" (this was before the devlog post btw)
>Don't want to drive away the only IRL person I talk to so don't argue with him
>That motherfricker makes Bridget his waifu and literally only refers to him as her
Highschool's over so finally I don't have to talk to this guy ever again
>inb4 underageb&
I'm 18
I'm sorry for that.
now you can go to tournaments and deal with it there, and not just for Brdiget
fighting games are alive but at what cost?
If I were to go to a tournament and found people calling Bridget "she" I'd just leave
You should stay and kick their asses in game if they're the ones playing. You know damn well the people referring to Bridget as a girl have little to no game knowledge.
I play the game for fun and rage quit when my nani ga deru ka na doesn't give me what I want
I assume you haven't watched any american FGC events then. I suggest you keep it that way.
Do I look like a nerd that watches E-Sports?
no, you look like a degenerate weeb, perfect for the anime fgc
I mean, she's a girl
ky s
Please just fricking stop. It's all so tiresome. Bridget is a guy, Daisuke is a homosexual who bends over backwards to chink censors. Frick off already.
You should learn to play Bridget and piss him off wit the character.
I won't play Bridget ever again I don't want people to think I'm a troony
Don't worry they already think that about you.
Why do you go into threads just to insult others and make people mad by falseflagging? I know It's just you and at most 2 other people, why? are you a sociopath? do you get off to it?
It's easy to spot the loser, even on anonymous imageboards.
>bridget
>shitter
>literal high schooler
L O L
Not a highschooler anymore give me credit mr Ky
What exactly happened, did bridget got retconned into a girl, or did they make him into an actual troony?
>actually caring about what people might think based on character selection
1st time was funny but with this and the images you clearly are from the same mentally ill stock and should actually have a nice day
