haven't been able to get in the few times I've tried.
PS5 will have more people on but I just never end up playing fighters on my consoles, end up on PC so will probably just get it there.
I believe the beta will be up again by the time this post is 6 hours old.
I played for about 3-4 hours yesterday when it finally got working and to be honest I really like it. I was playing Gio mostly and absolutely dumpster dunkin' 90% of the people i played against except if it was ram it which case my ape ass ate her reversal super. I sort of get what people are saying about gatlings/combos. Some stuff feels like it should cancel and doesn't. Some stuff feels like it should get an OTG in older GG games but doesn't here. Gio at least has pretty easy to remember gatlings between her slash buttons, so if you do something like c.S 2HS 214k it feels like a pretty guilty gear ass combo.
The damage is really high though but I kinda like it? it makes the game feel really high stakes when you get on low health and it feels to good to snatch someone's weave with a high damage mix or reset. I forgot how fun RC shenanigans can be. Gives the mind game rush something like KI can give sometimes where you're just flying by the seat of your pants riffing and seeing if the other guy reacts or not.
The netcode is really crazy. Nothing else I've really played is anywhere near as smooth as Guilty Gear Strive is online. I was mostly playing people in the australian lobby with sub 100 ping but it was a bit surreal to be able to play so many games of an arcsys fighter without feeling like i was pulling teeth in some way.
