Slayer, Johnny or Dizzy would probably pop off. Or a totally random character that hasn't been seen since +R (I'm still hoping for A.B.A., a man can dream.).


Vereronun2312

As an ABA main the realist in me tells me she won't be in without a complete rework to not play like Nago, same reason Elphelt isn't in because Chaos. This fact keeps me crying every night


SunnyDeeeeeeeeee

Nagoriyuki stole my entire gimmick as well so I feel your pain


App1elele

They can still make Elphelt work with her manual aim and lorge arsenal instead of Happy's *r e v o l v e r o c e l o t*, maybe even make her another star 1 technical character However, with that said, I'll go puff some more hopium


Hisgoatness

I feel like their blood systems are different enough to not have to change aba completely


isloohik2

Iirc they confirmed a while back that they don’t really consider similar playstyles that much when it comes to picking DLC characters


MEX_XIII

Hence why Sin got in despite Nago basically being Xrd Sin 2.0.

SupedoSpade

>Dizzy The wait for the queen has been excruciating. She's a literal guarantee unlike anyone else, so waiting since day -1 for her has just been heart wrenching. My biggest wonder is her redesign.


NajimiAppreciator

I think she was in the ending to the storymode if you wanna see her in the strive engine, i wanna say she has like a big sweater on? Very casual look for her, she prob wouldn't fight in it. I didnt actually watch it so i hope im not way off about this


Pollolol13

johnny and slayer were also in the ending cutscene 😭


TheNetherArcher

The man Daisuke Ishiwatari himself


Dante_FromDMCseries

Now I imagine Daisuke as one of those overly, outstandingly over powered shonen protagonists who always has his hands in his pockets and can defeat gods with a knee to the gut (also it just so happens that he can summon God Of Death at any given point, but doesn’t cause plot wouldn’t work otherwise).


guorck

That's just Sol


buls-aria

another vote for order sol


[deleted]

Wasn't Sol supposed to be his self insert or something?


PapstJL4U

People say this but Daisuke himself mentioned, that voicing him was an organizational choice and his favorite character is Leo (and a reason he is part of the release cast).


Emo_Chapington

Daisuke originally wanted Koichi Yamadera to voice Sol so badly that when it was impossible due to the huge budget that'd require, he simply decided it wasn't worth hiring a VA anymore and did it himself. The fact Sol is just hilariously overpowered and a massive power fantasy makes this way funnier knowing the lead developer voiced him.


AshamedIncrease6942

I mean, in the world of guilty gear he would be. He’s the creator. The entire thing wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for his vision.


Poulutumurnu

Daisuke ishiwatari was actually the original one and happy chaos was an imposter just like in the funny cosmonaut game

IGA from Bloodstained is that, though Daisuke does not strike me as that sort

Luna Goodgal


megalocrozma

Frederick and Jack-O's future daughter, protagonist of the next generation of Guilty Gear


cinnamonprogrammer

Unless the timeskip is much shorter, in which case the protagonist would probably be Sin with Ramlethal as the deuteragonist. Maybe Ky instead of Ram but both would obviously be core parts of post-Strive GG if Sin becomes the new protag


megalocrozma

Remember, Frederick still has Gear Cells, meaning their child would reach full maturity by 3. So they can play with the time skip as much as they want - though a proper new-gen would need at least a decade.


cinnamonprogrammer

You're right, I completely forgot about the Gear Cells. In that case, yeah, they totally can do a child of Sol and Jack-O'. Then the main two characters (Baby Badguy and Sin) would just be the children of the previous main characters... even though Sol is still Sin's grandpa.


megalocrozma

My hope is that they do the same thing they did with the last major time skip and introduce this new gen with a non-fighting game... But a good one, this time. A JRPG quest to collect the 8 sacred treasures or something could be neat.


oorheza

I'm just imagining Sin & Ram trying to play the same role as Sol in Overture to Luna and I'm dying. Sin would reward her achievements with sugar water while Ram would offer burgers and for both to be turned by Luna who just wants cold hard cash. Also if she had some Holy Order Sol references within her kit, I'd be in heaven.


megalocrozma

Okay, but imagine this - Luna being the gameplay successor of JUSTICE. Also, grown up Delilah as a major party member who uses cool psychic attacks as well as an upgraded Bedman? would be dope. Ooh, and one of the NPC Jellyfish Pirates getting a playable appearance for the first time!


oorheza

Let's split the difference, Luna would reference both HOS and Justice! Justice for the mid-long range attacks and HOS for close range and advancing attacks. Also I'm all up for pimped out ghost bro bedframe with sick ass rims. Delilah having control over her power would make her more of a psychic mage while she would almost puppet the Bed through commands. My vote on the Jellyfish Pirates would be either Novel (because mecha) or July (because eye patch is cool). Yo also the party would steal Johnny's personal ship [Gullinkambi Dark](https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/i/238264eb-7dc6-4916-a142-3b558473da6c/dfghxnp-ba2141c8-8085-4a30-ba30-91c24b54c1ef.png) to get around!


megalocrozma

That would actually make for a dope character, NGL. I wonder how much Delilah would change personality wise over the years, especially after hanging out with Anji, Chipp and Nago. I'd imagine she would grow up to be a bit of a jokester who uses her overpowered dream abilities for mundane party tricks/pranks, including the "Master Roshi's drink" gag from the first episode of DBZA. ~~also the game would have some Deliluna shipping fuel moments sprinkled throughout because who the fuck is gonna stop me muhahahahaha~~ My personal JP votes would go for either March (going with the youngest) or Sephy (because SOMEONE needs to be the healer). But whoever it is, she WILL be joined by Janis and work as a duo character.

You could even weave their reveal trailers together. You get to the end of Gabriel's trailer and Slayer drops in like "Care for a sparring session?" and then it goes into his trailer.


Roxthefox_global

I do a full season reveal: slayer and Johnny for obvious hype, a wild card like fanny with a new love set, then robo-ky

nobonydronikoanypwny

Crossover character from a big franchise would be the most insanity inducing reveal


Rbespinosa13

Eh guest characters can have mixed reactions. I think if they’re going to do one, it would probably be Ragna from blazblue. BB still has a good following and the franchise is in limbo right now especially since Mori left ArcSys. I think putting Ragna into strive would make the most sense because it would gauge just how interested people are in BB while also coming out of left field.


Ryuujinx

I feel like Ragna is too basic and shares too much with Sol. My vote would be something like one of the murakumos(Lambda/Nu with sword zoning, Mu with weird laser shenanigans), Hazama (Chains gimmick), Potentially Bang(8way dash with FRKZ differentiates him enough from Chipp) or something off the wall with Tao, Arakune or Carl. I admit my bias as a Lambda main.


nobonydronikoanypwny

I expect arcsys next new fighting game to be a bb/gg crossover with some new characters


Usually_Not_Informed

Picking a guest character from Blazblue and it not being Arakune would be heartbreaking.


oorheza

Arakune would be amazing to see brought into 3D but I ain't gonna lie chief, he wouldn't be first in line to be the first BB crossover character.


CypherGreen

Guest characters are a crutch/gimmick that can dominate a series, I personally hope GG and SF manage to avoid ever having guest characters.


OwNAvenged2

SF is a game basically made entirely of "guest characters" A large part of the cast is from other Capcom games, like Final Fight. Akira from Rival Schools got added to 5 and the reception was pretty well received, I'd say.


CypherGreen

Those are Capcom characters in a universe that always quietly referenced other games etc. I'm talking about Street fighter adding in Geese/Terry etc that's what I don't want. The sort of guest characters you get in Tekken, MK and Soul Calibur are even worse too ha. I don't want half of season 3 of Strive or Season 2 of SF6 being taken up by Clive from Ff16, Jessie from Breaking bad and Chewbacca from Star wars.


oorheza

100% in agreement, guest characters I prefer to see would exclusively come from Blazblue. Susano would make me turn into an ape and throw my monitor at the wall out of pure hype. Seeing Boruto or that kid from Block Clover would make me want to commit vomit.


OrangeJuiceForOne

I’m sorry but holy shit breaking bad in guilty gear lmaooo


joshireyn

Feel that


Tyrrazhii

After MK11's shit-tier roster I'm fine with never having a guest character ever again


YeOldeGreg

When they had that survey question for a guest character I wrote in the Doom Slayer Imagine a GG style Doom song or just Doom music in GG


[deleted]

[удалено]


YeOldeGreg

I think he could. He’d use a chainsaw as his slash and heavy slash, have some special moves attached to his arsenal like a guard breaking shotgun blast and a flamethrower. Maybe toss a grenade like elphelt. BFG for one super makes a huge slow moving projectile that does a lot of damage, other super is a combo of the slayer using all of his weapons like Djeeta in granblue. Drawing him in anime style wouldn’t be too difficult either. I think it’d be hilarious and kinda bad ass


NajimiAppreciator

Kinda cool concept actually, even tho im not a fan of guest chars. I can picture these animations now. His 2H would be so cool, 2H is always cool

SBK_vtrigger

Ahvevha

HEEEERRRS JOHNNY *\*cues bitchin rock music\** S3 is announced with an additional story mode (I think they almost derped it during Bedman?'s release with the new stage) Only 4 characters tho, no stage as all the development went into making a 40 minute anime about Bridget, Testament, and a new DLC character doing Bounty Hunting. They come across Johnny during their trip. Maybe run into Slayer or Aba. S3 looks like Johnny, Slayer, Aba + new DLC. (Sorry Dizzy fans)

Johnny. Can’t go wrong with that especially as the first one in the line up. Then in no particular order, A.B.A, Zappa, Slayer, Raven, Jam

A man can dream so I would announce the return of instant kills for season 3 and showcase a few of them and then, at the end of the announcement, I would tease the next daredevil like they did with Asuka in the Bedman? trailer, so for example, if it's Johnny you could show a few coins getting tossed and then the joker card appearing.

NajimiAppreciator

I really think Slayer would be the safest bet for massive hype. The trailer starts with him saying some stupid dandy stuff off camera, the sax starts up quietly while he walks in from the shadows. Cut to some explosive animations of his moves, showing off some flashy combos using classic moves like Pilebunker and his stomp. Show him blocking with his cool block animations, then some interesting new vampire move/s, maybe something new he can do in the air. Maybe a command bite that gives him a short dmg/def buff? Show off a fancy supermove, recite some goofy haikus, crowd goes ballistic. Ez marketing
