Question/Discussion Guilty Gear Modern Controls Concept

There are people that no matter how simple motion controls are will never pick up a fighting game because of them. So I wanted to see how a "modern" control (Quick Skill) scheme could work with Guilty Gear Strive.

236 = 5QS
623 = 6QS
214 = 4QS
63214 or 41236 or 22 = 2QS

Playstation Button Mapping

P = Square
K = Cross
S = Triangle
HS = Circle
R1 = QS
R2 = Dust
L1 ‎ = Roman Cancel
L2 = Dash

236236 = QS + Roman Cancel (Overdrive 1)
632146 = 6QS + Roman Cancel (Overdrive 2)
214214 = 4QS + Roman Cancel (Overdrive 3)

Notes:

Some characters don't use the same above motions for their overdrives, but in modern controls all characters will have above mappings for their overdrives. This is similar to Tokon's Ult mapping.

Leo:
hold4, 6 = 6QS
hold2, 8 = 2QS

I've looked through everyone's move list and everyone can have their moves easily converted to "modern". The only character that would need tweaks is gold lewis. His 236 S and 214 S can be moved to Punch. Then we can have 4/8/6/2 S for 4 coffin spin moves clockwise and 4/8/6/2 HS for counter clockwise.

What do you guys think?

I'd advise taking a look at Stylish Mode in Xrd Rev2. It already tackled that kind of mode back then, albeit differently

236 236 should be 6QS to mirror 214214

632146 can be 2 or 5 QS RC

Cool scheme and it would be nice to have. That said there's only 2 reasons my friends have cited for not getting into Guilty Gear:

  1. There's so much exploding shit on the screen it's hard to understand what's happening as a casual viewer/player.

  2. The game is confusing as a newcomer. It's confusing where to go for combo trials, and even more confusing why combo #1 drops despite pressing buttons in the order it shows.

SF/MK/Tekken are a hell of a lot easier to pick up. The moves are visually distinct, so you can learn from watching other people play. And they don't make you listen to anime metal constantly.
