A mini video essay on the character Answer in GGXrd, a 2 step neutral character who has to build his screen control with layers of setplay, then dominates with fast movement, high damage mixups, and strong buttons.

    Answer's whole "using the phone while fighting" shtick singlehandedly sold me on the prospect of him getting into Strive. I hope he gets an install there where, instead of any fancy magic, he just puts the call on hold.

    One thing that's wholly unique to Answer is that his scarf is one of the few things in the game that is not manually animated it instead follows your path and trajectory. The only times it's animated like the rest of the game is when Answer is doing a move or is standing still. It's actually a huge animation flex when you realize how smooth the transition is between the two states.

    Part of why I love Xrd so much is that as I'm blocking you just get to watch the characters do such cool stuff. I fought an Answer recently (I play Venom and am not very good; he was very good) and as I was blocking I just kept mentally raving about how cool Answer was!

    8:51 not to be confused with Answer's actual laser, which is has over 2 seconds of startup, deals 1 damage, can be crouched and cannot kill

    Even though I'm not a Answer player, I can easily say that his theme is not only my favorite Xrd song, but my favorite GG song overall this song is just perfect.

    Every time I try and play answer, the chipp brainrot in me comes out, and I screw up thinking I can teleport whenever I want. Regardless, he is really fun. I hadn't played the game in years, but i realized it had rollback, so i figured i should get back into it.
  • @Andrew-si1hz
    I want him in Strive too. No one i know plays xrd and its tragic because I love characters like Answer.

    Fighting games could always use another ninja let’s get answer in strive
  • actually insane how good answer can be and i didn’t even know because i don’t see enough answer players, ty for preaching the pretty boy ninja gospel 🙏
  • @MusicoftheDamned
    Heh. Weird timing since I was just thinking about Answer's cool visual aesthetic and musical theme a couple of days ago after realizing I no longer had the latter on my phone. I am hoping he gets another shot some day, especially as someone who missed all of Xrd and who feels rather bad for him being stuck in the same game as Elphelt Prime, She Who Oppresses.

    Amazing video! As a Striver I couldn't wrap my head around what he even does, my interest in him has dramatically increased thanks to you. I love your content and seeing you in tournaments, keep it up!
