This is the pinned post with information:

Welcome!

I tried playing Strive back in November, and it has since gained an iron grip on my psyche. I've been learning Baiken since the 2.0 patch in April and wanted a place to compile all the resources I collect for her.

Feel free to submit anything pertaining to Baiken; gameplay, streamers, art, etc. Asks encouraged.

Resources:

https://www.dustloop.com/w/GGST/Baiken - the Dustloop page for Baiken. Has a link to the Baiken discord also

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wI1xy8EfEdy6A2Fm0Z1XnvNFF6jZaWWD2tSUfRYgezM/edit?tab=t.0 - The Baiken Baible, also linked in the resources section of Dustloop. I'm not sure how updated it is for the 2.0 pages, but its still a lot of good information

https://glossary.infil.net/index.html - a glossary of fighting game terms, which has been incredibly useful in helping me figure out what the hell anyone is talking about

Safejumps my beloved. I need to practice the timing for the tighter ones to not get DP'd

I don't have them down to memory yet, but I really recommend the safejumps out of tether. If I'm not getting wallbreak or someone is having trouble with the mixup, being able to restart offense on wakeup seems to get me a lot further than the extra damage from HKab ender

Baiken (DUKE-LU01048596) vs Jam (seisei)

I found this spreadsheet for safejumps and stuff from a comment in r/Guiltygear. Been very useful for not getting 6P'd or DP'd quite as often. Even without memorizing it, going through the list to practice helps get a feel for when you can and can't IAD into someone.

Baiken (Akihiro) vs Potemkin (FAB)

Some early combo labbing from after the 2.0 changes, the combo recipes are in the description ^~^

I really need to practice the grounded left/right Hkab, if you do it in the wrong spot it loses to grab and people seem very aware of that

Baiken (Bigwill) vs Ky (Fern22)

Baiken (Shangbadung) vs Jam (ACNO) set!

I made a flowchart for myself to help stick to how baiken does well instead of fishing for pokes or abare and praying it would convert. Its not very polished, some day I might go back in and make it a little more understandable. Dotted line is for something getting blocked, solid line is for hit confirm.

I have a bad habit of doing 2S after a high/low setup, even with frametraps I run into enough people who can punish it and it hits mid so it almost always gets blocked, I'm trying to reserve it for extensions in combos or pokes in neutral when I'm not in their face.

A friend also showed me that 6P has a few frames of projectile immunity, I struggle with zoners enough that would be really useful to try and learn. Haven't gotten to that yet

Hitting with TK Youzansen does let you f1 2H, I forget what the setup looked like with HKabari. You can IAD jS, I think it hits f1 with good timing but it loses to DPs and if you get it wrong it loses to 6P. I do it out of habit but I don't think its a very good route for things.

Baiken (Winty Guitar) vs Slayer (Kan) set. I always enjoy getting this matchup when I'm playing

A list of changes from early on in the 2.0 update! No complicated combos in this one, just game mechanics
