Not excited about Bridget anymore ...

[Shuvartolöw]

I lost my mind when i first saw the annoucement last sunday at EVO and I now finally got a solid motive to cave in and finally buy the game. I'm really sad to see that my all time favorite GG character has received so much bad attention lately.

I was praying for years to be able to enjoy playing as my main Bridget again in a new GG game and the whole contreversy is ruining the character for me.

I don't like the sudden peak of interest that the series/character got from people that don't even care about the game to begin with. None of these people even knew that Bridget existed until a few days ago ... I'm still going to have fun playing as Bridget, but I wish that all that unnecessary bad attention wasn't a thing.

Is Bridget any fun in Strive ?

ure just like Bridget; easily swayed

I get you. All these bigots just came out of the woods to be angry about something they would have otherwise never cared about.

As for the fun she's... fine for Strive I guess. But not nearly as versatile, mobile, complex or fun as her +R iteration. Roger does pretty much nothing now as all Roger retrieve moves are gone, you only get 1 rolling movement per jump, you lose most yoyo sets, yoyo is out for a very limited time only... And the list goes on.

But I dunno, I guess that in the end I would never really like Strive that much; so at least I'm happy my girl is getting the love she deserved all along.

Very mediocre character, He struggles against crouch block Has no good overheads outside of grab/dust, and what overheads + command grab he does has are reactable. Roger Dive (216K) is not an overhead which I really think it should but It does have shockingly good horizontal range on impact. I also dislike how he can be jabbed out of setplay with his yoyo. Bridget has the tools for being a good character and fun character. But struggles to maintain a rather simple set play and simply cannot open up opponents as well as other characters.

Simply put, Bridget is still fun and alot more simple than his AC+ days, But he simply cannot crack the shell of any turtle. If anyone else has something I didnt figure out and shares it with you, Then i'd put him up with the rest of the cast.

TL;DR Struggles against people who play Lame/Defence, Fun Neutral and isnt the extremely set play orientated AC+ Bridget having been simplified but I hate talking bad about characters,

The heck. You can rolling movement into high/low or even j.K>JC>j.K for a fuzzy overhead.

Isnt rolling movement vurnable to 6P's / Anti Airs? J,K is certainly possible but its weakened by the idea that most people will probably see it coming. This is assuming im not missing some braindead obvious solution and i've made an idiot of myself.

On oki it probably shouldn't, assuming it's timed properly. If you cancel it early you might even be able to bait reversals, haven't checked yet.

[RE:Deemer]

Politics be damned, Bridget is pretty fun in Strive. It sucks that the "d i s c o u r s e" has ruined them for you, but I think you should still play them in the future after the distaste has faded.

In the meantime, there are other cool characters to play, so you should!

Since she is Ino but at MAX power? Yes, I guess. She is pretty fun compare to other rushdown-potemkin characters. But its not fun to play in general. Sinceu still get 2 touches and dead. Althou Bridget has May`s style hitboxes so she is pretty fine. And I think she will be even more powerfull when patches will come out.
She has pluses, she has boxes, she has mix-ups. She is strong and versitile.

SHE IS 1ST CHARACTER OF THE SP2 WHICH THEY SELLS FOR SEPARATE PRICE.
HOW DO U THINK??? WILL THEY MAKE HER BORING AND WEAK???
Cmon. The strive itself is still garbage-game with no brains whatsoever. Which even Testament and Bridget cant save. Greed of the devs is clear. They want u to buy their bs cos of nostalgia. Or how they say: "good strategy to sell new music album from Daisuke". More nostalgia - more money. Simple as that.

Whats wrong with Strive as a game? I think its pretty good, lot less complex than what im used to from BBCF, and thats a good thing.

Its honestly exhausting to see the Bridget drama overtake the excitement of the strong start to Season 2 but dont let that sway you. Bridget is a fun character to play and I recommend trying them out for sure. I just hope ArcSys will put out an official statement soon that ends the drama completely.

[Don Bone]

Just dont have to care about it bro. When you're in game & beating asses (or getting yours beat) none of that nonsense matters. At any rate, imo any media you consume you're free to entertain your own perception of it & no one elses if you so wish. Theirs shouldn't affect yours, and neither yours would affect theirs. All that bantering going on is very unnecessary lol

Anyway, never played Bridget in the past iterations, but compared to the rest of the cast in Strive? I'd say she's pretty fun. Probably the most fun Strive character so far with one of the best movement options, if not the best (one of the things I missed the most in Strive) & fairly strong with untapped potential I feel. Might switch her up as my main over Baiken who not only unfortunately got a whole load of her moveset gutted, but also became a different archetype altogether.

Now, legacy Bridget mains would most likely tell you she's gutted as well, but that's everyone in Strive basically. At any rate, it's nowhere as bad as what happened to Baiken & May.

Why is Bridget your favorite GG character?

I strongly suspect the character is still the same character you loved back in GG XX or Accent Core in one way or another, regardless of the noise currently surrounding her.

[HelgenX]

I should mention that I only think Bridget isn't that good is because his damage output is atrocious right now. He doesn't have enough to really make opponents scared. If all someone is going to do is sweep me, yo yo setup into another weak combo, what am I afraid of? I used him for about 3 hours the other night, and while he looks and feels cool, I didn't feel any juice at all with him. Going to try him again, because I was extremely excited for him as I use him in +R.

Bridget has been fun to play so far but I've noticed that she's a terrible matchup against faust. He's the only one I've had issues fighting so far lol. But tbf that's just cause I need to get good at Adapting her style of fighting as a whole to fausts..... chaos.

that seems like an odd match up for Bridget to be bad against.

maybe it's because I haven't played against many Faust's since his buff, but I find it hilarious that any character would legit be at a disadvantage against him.
