Overview

Looking at Venom, one can already see his unique weapon, a pool cue, and see how even in the world of Guilty Gear, he stands out. It's not just in aesthetics though, Venom's gameplay is one of the most unique in any fighting game! Venom has the ability to line up pool balls on the screen in various formations. He can then launch them in many different directions and speeds by hitting them with nearly any of his moves! Although this gives him zoning and neutral capabilities, his strongest aspect is actually his pressure game! Venom is an advanced character, you'll have to learn his unique neutral game as well as play strong defense, for he has no reversal (even with meter), but when you put his gameplan together, he is a versatile character who is immensely satisfying to play!

Strengths

  • Great pressure
  • Good pokes, neutral game, and okizeme
  • Rushdown and zoning are both viable options
  • Workable mixup
  • Ball setups allow for extreme versatility

Weaknesses

  • Below average health
  • Only reversal or pressure escape option is slow, uses burst, and takes 50 tension.
  • Pokes rarely convert into high damage or knockdown
  • Neutral game requires time and space in order to set up pool balls

Ball Formations

5H
P Formation
Ggxrd venom pformation.png
P will be the formation you probably do the most in any given match. Placing the ball right in front of him lets him tap it with P and get in motion right away, while his other buttons can be used to get it going faster. In addition S>P, dash 5K (5P in corner) is a good okizeme formation. Has uses in combos too. In 1.1 now, 2S will now hit the P ball, strengthening this formation's use in the corner especially. P formation has weaker zoning than in prior games, because the other 3 balls are placed further away from Venom.
5H
K formation
Ggxrd venom kformation.png
K Formation puts a ball above Venom. You'll use it for K Ball oki on knockdowns (description now in the Beginner and Intermediate Guide to Venom linked later on this page, but it is similar to the one on the +R page). You'll also use it for some combos, especially ones planned in advance (with K ball out, 6P>6HS is a true combo). In addition, P>K is a very versatile formation for zoning.
5H
S formation
Ggxrd venom sformation.png
Places a ball behind him. Primarily used for QV combos as it can be tapped by 5P or 6P while traveling to its spot. You can try to be tricky and use the teleport cancel on summon to create some space. It has some corner okizeme uses as well.
5H
HS formation
Ggxrd venom hformation.png
Places a ball in front of Venom. There's a few uses for this formation. You can place a HS ball on oki and safe jump (will make HS Ball Oki writeup as well). It's Venom's best ball for using the new Stinger Aim properties. Because it places the ball further out, your teleport can get behind your opponent more frequently (and it can be pushed even further by a HS Stinger). And last but not least, S>HS immediate 5P is one of Venom's best 2 ball zoning formations.
