Learn to dominate mid to long-range with Venom's unique billiard ball setups and surprising close-range pressure in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2. Master his moves and crush opponents!
Alright, let's talk about Venom. This dude's got one of the weirdest kits in Guilty Gear, seriously. He's all about setting up these billiard balls on screen and using them to control space, especially from mid to long-range. If you can get those setups down, you'll be absolutely dominating. But don't sleep on his close-range game either – if you keep the pressure on with his projectiles and cue combos, you can absolutely wreck people who aren't ready for it. The main thing here is learning how his billiard ball setups work. If you don't put in the time to figure out those formations, you're gonna be swinging at air. Also, keep an eye on his health bar; while his offense is super versatile, his defense is kinda… meh. You gotta play smart and avoid getting hit.
