Guilty Gear Strive Main Menu Speedrun Version 1.07
Guilty Gear Strive is a pretty fun game....but man does it take forever to even get to the GAME part. To even access the main menu, players MUST connect online and communicate with one measly Japan-based server, transferring and requesting a TON of information. Most of which is single-player oriented or things that the average casual player won't even care about. Put that all together with poor coding and you get...roughly four minutes from initial boot to actually hitting the main menu! For me, anyway. Today. I'm on the East coast of the United States, and have OK internet but for others this might be better or worse. Like, the closer you are to Japan the better, but also it's best to have the best connection possible. Nevermind that this could vary by time of day or server load...
Now, this is certainly a problem, but it gets worse. Most of the data being requested and transferred between the game and the server is per-character and as the roster grows, these wait times will increase exponentially unless Arc System Works fixes the issue. As of now, this is our roster at 16, with Goldlewis Dickinson being our first DLC character. Jack-O' has been announced and will release soon, and I'm going to keep a close eye on the initial boot time to see just how bad things get...so stay tuned!
