If this is your first time watching GG things are probably confusing; I'd recommend just watching more of it (if not playing).

Quick serious post, I do think Guilty Gear both has some obnoxious hitsparks that make stuff hard to see and also normals that are hard to parse as overheads because "it's what we do". I also think SG's "fancy" and "unnecessary" animation makes those things a lot easier to read. I don't think a serious discussion about those aspects will lead anywhere tho, because God FORBID you say bad things about a game goons like.

in summary, :shrug: and I hope the Johnny wins

I hope so. The intros are short but set hype up well for top 8.

I've seen between 0-800 "cheers" on matches so far, compared to the ludicrous 100,00k+ used in the example screenshots of how cheering works.

Stating your argument and then immediately sealing off any chance for a reasonable response, then finishing it with the bhsman smiley. Top tier posting tactic, you should've taken this tech to Evo.

I don't really want to get involved either but I think a lot of people here say a lot of poo poo without understanding what it is they're saying so it all ends up as white noise.

Unlike most modern games, Guilty Gear Xrd has awesome looking cinematic intros that don't get old.

Clearly you are a person with bad opinions and a wanna-be expert to dare mutter your factually wrong opinion about such a beloved game.

I mean, if the answer is gonna be as productive as yours, and I foresaw poo poo going like that, I'd really rather close off discussion.

I don't think they are complaining because you said bad things about gg(everyone who plays ggs can admit the lobby systems have been rear end and taking things like character select off online, add more inconvenience than anything)

it's not the criticism but what you're criticizing.

Like guilty gears universal overheads (dust) glow red.

The hit sparks and visual noise I'll give you, but I've never personally had an experience like "poo poo that drat hitspark made me miss that overhead".

Your complaint is valid for you but not one I've seen cited often.
