TO ALL MY PEOPLE GETTING GG STRIVE PEEP THIS THREAD
In GG theres a button called Dust or D for short, 5D is a universal overhead, I repeat, an OVERHEAD not a grab. In older GG games dust would let you launch opponents, but in Strive you can only do it on counter hits.
In almost every fighting game having your DP blocked meant you were about to be punished, NOT IN GG THO. Any move on block can be Roman canceled to stay safe or used for set ups and mix ups BUT some moves like DP's cant be RC'd on whiff so beware.
In GG you can most definitely take some damage through chip, so what can you do? Faultless defense! FD uses up some tension but it basically hinders the damage you take on block and in Xrd you wont die from Chip if your doing FD, not sure if they kept it in strive tho.
One of the greatest mechanics in GG imo is BURST, when you feel like you dont wanna block or comboed simply burst! Burst recovers after a certain amount of time so you cant spam it, and if your opponent is big brained as hell it can be baited but it's fairly difficult
Oh yeah if your opponent gets too close grab him, its 2 frame start up lmao
To grab do 6+HS
To Burst D+ any other button
To FD hold 4 or 1 P + K
