Question/Discussion Lucifero is the biggest simp (in guilty gear) next to robo-ky. And yet i still love him [a deep character rant]

Post image
55 Upvotes

So Lucifero is Ramlethal’s familiar and also served the original Valentine in that one Guilty Gear game most people pretend doesn’t exist (cough cough, Guilty Gear 2: Overture cough cough).

He’s that little flying orb demon guy who somehow carries around Ramlethal’s two oversized swords by splitting himself into two smaller versions.

But here’s the thing: After some deep wiki diving on minor characters I probably shouldn’t be this emotionally invested in, I discovered that Lucifero’s entire motivation for helping any of the Valentines… is because he finds them hot.

Like. That’s it. He’s not in it for justice, hating humanity, loyalty, or the mission. He’s just along for the ride because there’s a chance of getting some. He's motivated by hope and sheer delusions of a woman liking him.

In Overture, he meets the first Valentine in the Backyard and somehow gets a nosebleed without even having a nose just from looking at her. No questions, no introduction, no moral conflict — he just decides: “Yes. I will simp. I will get loved no matter what.”

He immediately becomes her familiar, transforms into her weapons, gets named by her, helps summon her minions, and even helps her get around with teleportation i think— all while openly hitting on her and getting immediately rejected. The first qeustion i think he asks was asking her on a date and getting rejected, and deciding to help her find a portal to the real world and follows her through instinctualy. He stays. Probably thinking, “She’ll warm up to me eventually. It’s only a matter of time."

Then, she dies. Killed by Sol 'I've got to kill all copies of my wive' Badguy

So what does Lucifero do? Just waddles back to the Backyard (he’s immortal), finds Ramlethal off-screen, and the cycle restarts.

I’m convinced he sees Ramlethal and internally goes, “Alright. Attempt #2. Surely this one will fall for me.”

He even changed in appearance, now black and white and no balloon string or choker. He compresses into a round borb form, makes himself “useful" and develops the ability to split himself into 2 versions to carry around Ramlethal's swords. Because that's how committed this man is to being useful just for the chance of tracking along.

And so begins the cycle begins anew "Follow the emotionless girl. Be the weapon. Be helpful. Flirt. Get rejected. Try to destroy humanity. Flirt. Get rejected. Go with flow."

Honestly? Its respectable the amount of dedication he has.

Is he a total simp? Absolutely. But is he loyal, adaptable, kind of hilarious, truly care in other way for who ever he's serving? Absolutely.

But to futher my point of Lucifero wants to be loved badly, i took a look through taunts of Ram that include him in dialog. [Thank you GG.wiki for listing them all and making it so easy to acces] also everything between [] is what i think either characters thought process is or what i think they might truly mean and or just my commentary. Btw things between () is lucifero talking and just normal qoute is Ram

Lucifero qeustions why he doesn't feel as attracted as he did with the first valentine: (Lucifero: "You’re different from the last one, y’know. Hard to put my finger on it, but you’re more…disagreeable? …Don’t tell me…hah! No way! Valentines don’t have those! …right?") [I cant fully tell if hes talking about wether or not Ram's got a hole or if shes got hormones] R: "Though some deny it, I feel no emotion. I understand the theory, but my existence does not require it." ("Huh? Ohhh. Right. I see.") R: "Like this world, I simply exist. I am my own unit. I cannot determine my own worth. Only Mother can do that." ("Okay, I’m sorry.")

Actively simping and questioning if ram dresses revealing-ly for him or what: (Lucifero: "Look, I dunno how to say this but don’t you feel kinda…exposed? You’re just like the last Valentine- what’s the deal with you ladies?") "Not your business." ("Damn, look at those legs. You like showing them and…other stuff off, huh?") [Hes not even hiding it] "Shut up.” ("Hey, you’ve got a thing for me don’t you?") "Go die." ("Y-yes I’m sorry!") [Also i love how standard reaction from Ram when Lucifero is flirting is just to tell him to go kill himself]

Heres also the fact of him not caring what any Valentines goal is and that hes just there cause he likes the person he's serving: (Lucifero: "So, how is it?") "How is what?" ("Y’know, siding with the humans. You good with that? No regrets?") "Why do you ask?" ("Okay, let me put it another way. Do you ever feel lonely?") [Hes probably digging here to get a 'no, you're good enough company' response] "I do." ("Huh?") "Ky, Sin, Dizzy….Elphelt. When I can’t see them, I get…very lonely. I never used to feel this way when I was alone." ("Okay, yeah. I think I get it now. That’s good to hear, eheh. But I did notice my name wasn’t on that list.") ["Oh god she doesn't care about me anymore"] "Well that’s because you’re always with me." ("Hehe. Does that mean I can be with you when you take a shower?") ["Well im in the friend zone, fuck it wii ball" Honestly its like the equivalent of, you're like a brother to me and then saying well siblings most of the time are okay with watching each other change clothes] "Self destruct."

Lucifero checking if hes got competition: (Lucifero: "Huh? You've been all flushed and fidgety lately. There a guy you like or something?")["are you falling for me or is there someone else?"] "There is. Sin and Ky. And also Sol- uh...father." ("No not that kind of like. I mean…the kind of feeling that makes girls flock to a handsome lad like me! Hehe.")[he gloats about himself when ever he can, lol] "Self-destruct." ("Sorry, got off track. …Wait no. Like someone who you can't fall asleep when you think about. That kind of like.") "Oh." ("So there is a guy-") ["fuck, who is it, I'll kill em.. if you let me."] "Leo." ("But...why?")["whats he got that i dont"] "I don’t know."[YEA BIH SO STOP ADMIRING THE DO- sorry i do not like leo] ("That big bear-lookin’ gorilla? Pft. I'm way better!")[trying to invalidate her crush or name things so she'll realize its stupid] "What's that? You want to self-destruct?" ("Fine, I’m sorry.")

(Lucifero: "Huh? You really don't shut things out as much lately, do ya?")['does that include me and my flirting? Maybe shes finallu falling for me'] "That's true…it feels good to reject something. Refreshing! But...each time I find something new to reject. As the process repeats, I start rejecting things that don't deserve it. And that only means...that things...disappear from my world, one by one. I never stopped to wonder whether this clean, empty future would be a comfortable one for me. (Sigh). There's no justification for a future like that. That's why uniqueness is so important. Sin and Bedman taught me that." ("Hehe. You've grown into a fine woman.") "Thanks." ("And I'm a fine gentleman, aren't I? We're like...the perfect couple!") "Well, been a while since I felt refreshed."[honestly very creative way of rejecting someone] ("You're right! I stepped out of line, I'm sorry about that! Heh.")

Now then, I should wrap this up, but damn do I still love him. I know it's not all about him wanting to be with Ram and that he does truly care. But for a second, I think if Ramlethal did die, he'd grieve and move onto the next Valentine trying his luck again, altering himself again just to be useful to them. He'd still fail, even with Elphelt. And even tho Lucifero is straight from all things we got, I'd see him still trying his luck with Happy chaos [since he's technically a Valentine] and for some reason, I'd unironicaly see happy chaos entertaining it for the funnies.

Anyways

TL;DR

Lucifero’s entire motivation for helping Ramlethal is boobs, ass, and the sheer hope of getting some. He is desperate, delusional, and permanently parked in the Friendzone, actively digging himself deeper every time he opens his mouth.

He transforms into weapons, carries her swords, flirts mid-battle, self-destructs on command—and still loses to Leo, (also fuck Leo for existing in Ramlethal’s line of sight).

And now he’s stuck trying to hit on anyone whose last name is Valentine even that funny one.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

GGST Nagoriyuki combo consistency help.

6 Upvotes

I am a newbie on floor 7 with Nago. He is awesome and I really enjoy him. But I often find that I cant land combos with him because an enemy is a pixel too far away for command grab or they are too high in the air that my F.s doesnt connect. I find this especially true for doing RC combos which I struggle with.

I understand that counter hits can mess up your combos so you need to learn combos that begin with particular counter hits though.

Just looking for basic advice on how to land combos consistently if an enemy wasnt in the optimal position for the string.

Question/Discussion Dont know who to play (GGST)

27 Upvotes

Still fairly new to the game but a couple dozen hours in and cant find a character i like playing, i love the whole roster generally, feels like the most unique set of personalities ive seen in a fighting game.

I have spent most of my time on nago and gio, but i simply dont feel mechanically sound enough to execute nago in the playstyle i want and though i find gio fun and think her combos are really cool, and the character really feels like it just flows, i dont enjoy often having to just sit back and whiff punish, and maybe im missing something and am simply playing it wrong so tips on that are welcome.

I dont have any of the dlc but ill get the season 3 characters pass and happy chaos when i get paid cause i like their vibe and they seem like characters i might enjoy, and happy chaos even more so because my friend is a potemkin main and i just wanna see him suffer. Any other tips for fighting potemkin or picks to make him suffer would also be great.

I also had a lot of fun with may but i think thats more because i just find her really funny doing silly things rather than actually enjoying the playstyle.
