Looking for a beginner-friendly sparring partner in GGST
I just bought Guilty Gear Strive last week during the publisher sale and finally started playing properly yesterday. This is my first fighting game ever so I tried to do the tutorial missions first, but I stopped after Island 1 and 2 because Island 3 already need really fast inputs. After that, I jumped into online play. The game placed me on Floor 6 right after the Sol tutorial match. At first, I got lucky and joined a friendly Korean lobby with two players, they're Floor 6 and Floor 4. They let me take turns sparring with them, it was actually really fun even though I couldn’t understand the Korean chat. Yesterday I couldn’t find any open lobbies, so I had to queue ranked. Almost every match is against players with level 70+ characters, some even 100+. There's this one time I got matched against single digit level opponents and they still beat me 2-0. I think they're smurfing. Anyone want to chill and spar together?
