I love Chester and Main him, just now learning what his number 3 card does, it would be really cool if he had runes as well

Genuinely a really cool character, he'd make an awesome protagonist for a comic book, probably one made by Dark Horse

can you make it so that every successful 10% we deal to the opponent we get one card

I've been looking at the comments and I'm not sure if people just dont see the difference between his dash speed and other speeds or if they're only referring to his dash, but not specifying. THAT THING IS RIDICULOUS. The initial dash speed is equivalent of golden Ronald, the distance reaches minimum a third of the stage, on average half(I've played this character on so many stages), and the worst part is that it can CARRY OVER IN THE AIR. Which means his AIR speed can be as fast is DASH speed. This one dash does all of the following:
-Really good at whiff punishing
-Insane edge guards
-Neutral doesn't exist
-Incredibly hard to whiff punish(He misses a move, but he can just dash away)
-Great stage control
-Can outmaneuver and negate most zoning(which are supposed to be one of his bad mu arch types)
I feel like the best thing to nerf this is to reduce the length(or duration?)of his dash and to make sure his dash speed doesn't carry over into his air speed.

He seems too broken at first, but after playing him for a while he's just a very strong character. His mechanic is fair since its rng and no single card is absolutely broken(besides 7, but its lucky 7 so it's to be expected), his arials have good hitboxes but don't extend TOO far off besides up air. But the tradeoff with up air is that it almost NEVER kills. If you die to up air early your di is super off. His strong attacks are balanced and actually dont kill until late percents if you di up. He's a bit light so a couple of strong hits can send him flying. Also his recovery is incredibly predictable and easy to punish since he has almost no way to mix it up(except if he gets an 8). His combos are lacking too if you di correctly. The best thing he can do is trap you with 4, follow up after 5, up air a couple times, or bridge you with fair(percent and weight dependent).

Just me or he looks like johnny from guilty gear?
Lazyboxcat 5 Jun, 2022 @ 6:26pm 
Honestly just slow the guy down if you could.
Lazyboxcat 5 Jun, 2022 @ 6:22pm 
Ey yo...

My friend likes this character and I want to get rid of him from my modpack but cant cause he will quit on me.

Please nerf his speed and the stupid af invincibility card.

Please and thank you

This character is incredible fun to play, and most of my hours so far are playing him lol. The card mechanic is very well done, and fairly interesting. 4 is sooooo good for punishing ledge and rolls, and 6 is very satisfy to hit(7 is busted lol). But my favorite so far is 9 just for the sound. I totally recommend to other players, and just makes me want to try out Guilty Gear just for Johnny. Props to you,George Seinfeld.

A great char to learn when the number on the card show. A good RNG I love it when people get salty when they get hit by the fire ace of spades. Seriously it dosen't kill and they rage quit over that? Wow
darthalex41 4 May, 2022 @ 7:13pm 
hes super fun to play but my friends & i had to outlaw him. maybe a nerf would be good, i feel like he does way too much damage as it is
TheDetect1ve 5 Feb, 2022 @ 12:55pm 
love the character but wish the taunt was faster or just a better way of getting cards because when you run out its almost impossible to get any back

I think forward aerial doesn't let you jump

if you dont mind me asksing what is the music used for this victory theme

Absolutely love this character, one of the best ones I've played so far. I do have one suggestion though, change the input for Charged F-Air to Strong while airborne instead of just the f-air input, it's quite annoying when you're just trying to use an uncharged f-air but you end up whizzing past the enemy since it kept charging.

Never seen a edgier character. Amazing. 9.99/10 the bottle explosion isn't pixel art and looks out of place

When a chester uses Jackpot while another is in the middle of activating Jackpot, you can softlock the match

There is a bug where Chester regains multiple cards after parrying someone parries his first card.
Daddy_Hawaii 3 Oct, 2021 @ 10:03pm 
This character is super fun to play, but after playing for a while I have to ask: at the start of the match is there a random number selector or something run for the cards because it seems each match I get a lot of one card, like in one match I got the 4 3 times in a row, and in others I just kept pulling 9s over and over
Klaadum 1 Oct, 2021 @ 8:49pm 
These animations are really stylish, especially dstrong and fspecial. Only problem I have with this character is that if you fspecial right after jumping the buffer system will make it instantly attack with the upward angle, happens with fair too.
It's A School Night 1 Oct, 2021 @ 1:27pm 
I actually like this one a lot. I feel like it needs better ways to teach the player how to use the card system in game. Like for the card draw the symbols on the card could change to what special it enhances. The flaming ace card does this well but y'know not every card needs to be on fire to get the point across. (That up air is nuts lol)
keblakev 1 Oct, 2021 @ 5:45am 
this is ridiculously goood. Thank you so much for this character. He is the shit.
