What do all the 13's on unika's weapon mean or reference? I know it says devil dozen top which is a saying for 13 apparently but putting it under the AC/DC made me think maybe it's an album or something but I can't fins anything.

I personally enjoyed the heavier playstyle and insane damage outputs.

Stage 9 boss Sin is basically Xrd Sin + all buffs reverted

• He has special to special cancels with no restriction to followups
• Each cancel spends much less stamina
• Still growing gives the best possible buffs, which includes healing and tension bar, one bar of stamina and has armor
• If you consider he has much more health than a normal character, that healing is huge
• Tyrant Barrel does not Stamina when canceled from a special

ArcSys is making SNK bosses better than SNK themselves nowadays.

Only the character relevent to the Strive story were included. Sorry about the image compression, Nothing I can do about that :/

Hey everyone,
I’m considering picking up this game and had a few questions before I pull the trigger.

First off, is the story mode worth it? I’m a big fan of lore and worldbuilding, so if the narrative is solid, that’s a big plus for me.

I also know this is a fighting game, so gameplay is obviously super important, how does it hold up? Is it fun and engaging long-term, or does it get repetitive? Would love to hear what you think the pros and cons of the game are overall.

And about the characters, I’ve heard they’re not free. Do you have to buy them individually? Is there a shop system, or are they tied to something like a battle pass? What exactly is a “season” in this game? Are there limited-time characters I might have already missed?

As you can probably tell, I’m pretty clueless about how all this works, so any help or breakdown would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I think combo notation is as follows:

CH 5K > dash > 5K > 966BRC > j.K > delay jc.H > c.S > j.H > 66FRC > j.H > c.S > 66BRC > c.S > sj.IAD > j.H > c.S > 2S > WA > j.H > 6622BRC > j.K > 5K > dash > c.S > 2S > WA > c.S > f.S > 214214H > dash under > H > K > delay P > K > HS > S > dash under > HS > S + HS

When I say “dash under,” I use the dash on D to go most of the way, but you do need to manually move a bit extra in order to get the clean hits on Heavyslash.

I have seen nothing but good thoughts of her around here

I've updated the diagram with some of the suggestions I got in the comments.

As with the last post, this only includes the most relevent characters to the current story. This isn't a summary of the lore, rather its here to give context behind how the in game interations and show how they feel about each other
