''-STRIVE-'' presents a game that is similar to prior ''Guilty Gear'' entries but also radically new and streamlined by comparison. Many systems from previous games return like Roman Cancels, Burst, and the signature Tension gauge-building up resources through movement and landing attacks. The game places less reliance on long flashy combos and more on strong fundamentals; a single attack in this game hits like a freight train compared to likes of ''Xrd''. This makes accessibility by extension a major design component, with returning characters having vastly simplified movesets and mechanics, the idea being to boil them down to their most vital tools.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: When the game first launched, the game would take ''over a minute'' to connect to the servers and go into the menu. Some [[https://old.reddit.com/r/Guiltygear/comments/oaqwo5/analysis_of_network_traffic_at_game_startup/ investigation]] revealed that the reason for this was that the game was making an obscene number of calls to the game servers, creating ''127'' HTTP requests to multiple API endpoints that requires four round-trips each and waiting for all of them to complete. A modder was able to shorten it down to one round-trip per call, and it still took about 35-40 seconds on average to complete. Fortunately, this has been fixed since and by Season 2, it takes about 10-15 seconds to go into the menu.

If you're stuck in the corner and the opponent hits you enough times, eventually you will get stuck against the wall and their next hit will break the wall. You get sent flying to a new area of the stage and you are reset to a midscreen round start rather than being in the corner.
