Guilty Gear -Strive- Ky Kiske Combo Exhibition
Guilty Gear is finally out and here's a look at Ky in the full release version of the game. To be honest he hasn't gotten any notable changes from Beta 2 as far as I can tell. His combo routes are pretty much the same, as such, the combos in the previous video should still work as well. I got a little more time to lab with him so there is some new stuff in this video of course.
Overall with the game it seems like ArcSystem Works are hitting their goals. Players I've talked to that are new to the franchise like the changes and feel like the game is overall more approachable now. So those changes that they made that veteran players (myself included) dislike about the game seem to have had the desired effect for ArkSys.
I still feel like combo routes are too rigid and that most characters lack basic options that were available in previous titles. I always hate when a character comes into a new game with less moves than the previous as well. Grab is WAY too powerful in this game at the moment, it comes out in like 2 frames and is invincible on startup. The character balance feels off to me as well, so I won't be getting too competitive in this game just yet. I'm still willing to play matches for fun, mind you, just not with a competitive intent.
I'm looking at trying Chipp, Nagoriyuki, Giovanna, Leo, and Sol out next (maybe in that order).
