TSM Leffen

Absolutely insane finals, had so much fun. Ggs to Sonic and everyone else. DH atlanta champ!! Btw I've won every single 2XKO bracket I've entered outside of EVO france where I played a brand new team for fun, I'm kinda goated. HMU if any sponsors want to work with me in 2026 :)

@NoolaGaming Legit delusion to be so mad at this and this is like the first tweets i see when I go to your profile. Pot, meet kettle. You cant throw it out if you cant take it lmao

@haze_tkn a massive part of it too is just that sfv mvci etc flopped so hard that the standard was just so much lower, t8 doesn't have that privilege.

I think more people were willing to stay with T7 (despite it also being a shit show) because it still had traditional elements to the game. T8 has added so many things that break the traditional element of the franchise. Meter, chip dmg, heat burst, heat dash etc. Cont-

@LordKnightBB gooners dont play

i really didn't want to comment on this but do mfs REALLY NEED HER TO HAVE LESS CLOTHES ON FOR THE DESIGN TO BE CONSIDERED GOOD i REALLY need someone to explain this for me. like do you REALLY NEED to see her panties change daily for it to be good? fr? please help me understand

@ZainNaghmi legit inspired reading this

10000 steps Play the sweatiest games with Cody. Neither of us have fun. Eat and hate watch my genesis sets to feel something Lift Grind more This is what life is all about

anyone got a varmilo ha10 and exp using it? interested in trying it but i bought a varmilo fk2 and it instantly broke lol

@HorseSkull666 asias scene is a lot less terminally online, i will say that

After being away for so long I think my biggest issue with Strive is that the playerbase predominantly consists of antisocial weirdos

@BrinyDuck i didnt even play in the lcq 😂 yall are so funny

@TSM_Leffen We get it dude, you lost the lcq and wasted your time because you didn’t practice. Doesn’t mean that we can’t be excited.

pretty funny everyone is already acting like strive 2.0 is the only "good" patch out of the recent big ones... bro we know nothing yet outside of WA being replaced with a new mechanic and that we're getting 4 specials that they told us we'd get in season 3... THREE YEARS AGO

All that said I would love nothing more than to enjoy playing strive again, and its a free update so of course I will try it with an open mind. Happy Chaos and Asuka reworks is definitely needed and seem promising, and continued support for a game this old is awesome to see.

I'm very happy that a dev finally admitted they did something really stupid and went back on it, but it taking 3 years to make the right decision isn't really that impressive if the rest of the changes aren't also great. SF6 had no such fuckups so they have no easy wins either.

@CakeMetallic Keep working hard, ull get there

AWT 2025-2026 Reflection (1/?) I notice that this post is getting a spot of attention lol. I apologise for the obnoxious, self-indulgent talk around this time. It came from a place of frustration that I did not have opportunities to improve or prove myself due to something out of my control (being born in Australia). For those who don't know why it's so difficult to compete from here, I'll go over it one last time. We are completely isolated. We have a very small amount of players and no, we cannot connect to Japan online. Every time that you see me on ranked, that is me dedicating time to practise while I am staying overseas for tournaments. During these periods, I cram as much practise and matchup knowledge into my head as I can. This practise period for AWTF was my longest, lasting for 2 weeks. Is it realistic to master every matchup during this time? Of course not. I just manage my time as best as I can. "Why not just practise with other Australian players?". In recent years, we have only had about 6 undeniably world class players in my opinion. And none of these players used META characters like HC. Also, most of these players either do not play anymore or only hop on for fun. Nobody is grinding the game like I have been. This matchup inconsistency is the reason my gameplay may look clean during one minute, then look as if I started playing the game yesterday the next. To be 100% clear, I am not insulting anyone. Nobody is at fault, and im not saying that our players don't have talent. It is all purely a product of being an isolated scene. So, this was the source of my frustration. I had a keen insight into I-No, knew it had potential and that I could improve a lot. I had something to prove. Of course, Daru and Kshue are still better I-No's than me. I don't think otherwise and outshining them wasn't my goal. My goal was to prove that I am an I-No player to be reckoned with and that the statement "all I-No players suck except Daru" is not true. The bragging that you saw me do in the past was me saying "Hey, I'm here! Give me a chance!". With this AWT, I think that I have finally proved what I wanted to prove. #GGST_IN #GGST #GuiltyGearStrive #AWT2025 #AWT
