Nagoriyuki is also a vampire just like Slayer, with the teleport dash and some similar moves
maybe they know each other

Not to mention he's also a samurai... maybe he knows Baiken as well.
 
Someone ask for a full version?
Also, this may sound far-fetched, but I think the whole concept for STRIVE, upcoming is about each of the characters in the roster, and their self-reflection. As if the quote "Mankind knew that they cannot change society, so instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts" wasn't enough. And Faust's theme here, lyrics included, describes how he can't forgive his own actions in the past (as Dr. Baldhead), which is probably why he is like this nightmarish way currently. And if that's not a good theory of what's to come for at least him, only time will tell how the other characters engage their own take on their own self-reflection. As for Nagoriyuki's self-reflection... that's another story since he's the new kid on the block.
 
New character, Giovanna
she kicks and has a ghost dog
also Anji is back in business

15 characters in base game, season pass with 5 characters
the game comes out April 9th, but people that buy the deluxe editions get to play on the 6th

Another new character we've yet to get info on. But since Zato just curtsied in front of her... you think she works with the Assassins Guild?

She already has a profile on the official site.

She's a bodyguard of the US president.
 
President? So she's in close relations with Chipp and Answer? (Wait... wrong nation, wrong president.)
 
Do you think this most recent video is just proof that no matter what excuse you judge upon him, nothing will stop Daisuke from making new albums?
 
Does anyone still visit this forum ever since the Mike Z scandal that could potentially cause the dissolve of Lab Zero? (If it hasn't already, one can hope not...)

Oh well, here's the new Anji trailer.

I might be the last one remaining just out of pure stubbornness to leave, tbh
can't wait for the february character reveal
That Man playable appearance? I can hope.

It did happen. Pretty much everyone important left LZ except Mike.

I'm fully expecting the last character to be the boss of the game. Either some kind of Justice remake or some form of Universal Will.

Well... one can hope everyone else has a belief of "We're continuing Skullgirls without Mike". It sounds ridiculous, but it's most likely that.

Since it'll come in February... maybe Elphelt?

I still haven't heard Mike's version of the ordeal, and i've been here for very long already, might as well stay until the end.

Since this GG will be a "reboot"/retelling of the story, the last character will probably either be justice or someone that leads to her
 
Testament and Dizzy most likely. Got it.
 
That Man?! Put Raven before him! That would be awesome!

Really looking forward to rockin' Axl in that game, but Raven would really take the cake for me. (Though I still have my bets for either Dizzy, Testament, or Elphelt.)
 
Okay, what I've learned from the trailer is that Strive will be the conclusion of the Guilty Gear series. Or, Sol's story, at least.

So basically, we have to wait until Sony starts making plans for the PS6 until the classic XX saga gets a rebooted facelift.

Here's some new gameplay, as well as some awesome new supers as well! Especially Ky's take on the Dragon Install, and Axl using his time-stopping powers!
 
Visually amazing, but feels like the game got closer to Samurai Showdown in terms of speed. Compared to +R, some characters look like they're moving at half speed

Give it time.

I gave it time. Now you can slow down time with a special command and Axl can go full ZA WARUDO mid fight.
 
Zato's got a new twist on one of his old supers as well. But really, more people on the Reddit seem to be in awe of how epic the redesign of Zato's Amorphous super is. That, and you can control it when ready.
 
Another popular side mode from Xrd is back so you can get more content: Fishing!

Since Nagoriyuki and Giovanna are the newbies on the block, it'd be appropriate to get to know their moves better for us fellow GG veterans that are still expanding their knowledge. And just so you know, even though Giovanna works for the U.S. Government, she's probably from either Brazil or Portugal, since all her moves are translated in Portuguese.

I love how Giovanna looks to play tbh
would probably be the first character I try in the open beta but that's probably 'cause I'm brainless
 

Got some new gameplay for ya. Also, Faust and Leo duke it out in a new freaky toy dimension stage.

tlat last Sol vs Giovana fight was something else.
 
The colors leaked were pulled by a theory straight out of Chrono Phantasma.

2 = White
3 = Red
4 = Yellow
5 = Green
6 = Blue

It's like this for all characters currently.
 
Beta's down again but I was able to get some games in in the mean time.
Been playing Potemkin because I'm a fuckin' idiot who can't play fighting games askjdnaslkjnd
ok so, impressions:
1 - The netcode is... wow. Just wow. It's amazing.
2 - I fucking hate this lobby with a passion.
3 - The game just feels good to play, though the combos kinda feel... unsatisfying and stunted? But then again I've never been good with combos so ymmv
4 - Hammerfall RC into a pot buster feels so good but I seem to be having trouble getting buster out of RCs and it's weird? Blaming my own lack of execution for this, though.
5 - someone blocked slide head and I screamed, can't believe it's blockable
 
oh I just gotta add
not being able to gatling off of punch and kick
feels SO WEIRD
it's whack as fuck, man.
 
I don't have a PS4, so I can't access beta.

But if I did, I'd try to learn the new characters, but stick to my guns with Axl.
 
Ok, so, I did some labbing and cleaned up my execution.
From what I can tell, the previous problem I was having regarding Hammerfall RC into Buster is because you can't cancel the RC into it? Like, you have to wait for the RC animation to finish before the Buster can come out, otherwise it just eats it.
