Any Character vs Giovanna
VGG | Smuggles on Twitter
#GGST_GI I tested a couple of strings vs every character to see their 214S punishes on block and the list makes the move seem pretty good. Crossing over with dash momentum makes it basically unpunishable for everyone.

Terms Used:
Neutral - The stage of a fight where neither player is blocking or getting hit by anything, and you are trying to figure out the best way to start or continue your gameplan.
Abare- Attacking while you are at negative frame advantage. Pronounced ah-BAR-ray, at least by English speakers. Normally attacking while your opponent is plus is a bad idea, since if they press their fastest attack, they're going to win. But... sometimes opponents don't press their fastest attack! Maybe they want to stretch their advantage a little too far and, say, take extra time to walk up and throw. If you abare in these situations, you'll probably land some hits.
Frametrap - Two attacks back-to-back that leave a very small gap between them. The gap will be shorter than the defender's fastest attack, which means if they try to attack with a normal, they will get counter hit.
Tick Throw - Making someone block a fast, close-range normal and then immediately throwing them. This is often a good strategy because light normals are usually plus when blocked, and you won't get pushed very far away after, so following up with a throw is a strong offensive option.
Shimmy - Tricking someone into thinking you're going to throw them by walking close, and then, at the last second, walking backwards out of range so they whiff a throw tech attempt like a dummy.
Stagger - Stagger can also be used in its more common English meaning to describe attacks that are slightly delayed or off-beat from each other. Basically, you leave gaps between your attacks in tricky and unpredictable ways so your opponent thinks they're free to attack, then you smoke them with a devastating counter hit.
Safe Jump - A very well-timed jump attack on a character who is rising from a knockdown. Your goal is to attack extremely close to when you land so that, if the character performs an invincible reversal attack, you will land and be able to block. The opponent is then forced to block your jumping attack, since reversaling doesn't work, which will give you some nice pressure and hopefully an opening.
RPS - Stands for Rock Paper Scissors, the classic game where each option beats one thing and loses to one thing.
Crossup protection - A system mechanic in Under Night In-Birth and Melty Blood where you are able to block cross-ups both directions for a brief window of time after your opponent switches sides. In order to have any chance of hitting your opponent with a jumping cross-up, you have to wait until your character turns around and faces the opponent.

Giovanna's Sol Poente is an overhead attack that leaves her at an advantage on block.If done after a blockstring, you can interrupt it with a 6P and deal a lot of damage to her.#GGST #GuiltyGearLibrary @mixboxarcade pic.twitter.com/tUpx3FdbwG— Mixbox | Applay (@fgcApplay) May 13, 2022

VS GIOVANNA TEMP
VS GIOVANNA Matchup Philosophy Giovanna plays a little like a tankier Chipp, faster than Sol, with an amazing dash and strong up close normals, but with shorter range, with one big exception - 2D (See the “2D” section). Stick out pre-emptive normals and have her come to you. Neutral against Gio...
DOES GIOVANNA LOSE TO ANYONE?!

We must ask the important question, does Gio lose to anyone? She really just might be the best character ever, I mean, who beats her? That's what I thought.
