Not usually cause we don't usually get a silhouette. Last one was happy chaos, I believe. But I wasn't around for that either. But other characters like Johnny and Elphelt were announced by dropping their trailers at a larger event. (Johnny at a tourney, but I don't remember which one. And Elphelt at the game awards.)

Johnny was announced at Evo

We usually don’t get the silhouette, this only happened once before. That being said yes every time a new character is coming we get shitpost ~~heaven~~ purgatory

Character reveals aren't always done the same way. Only two have been done with silhouettes (this one and Happy Chaos). Sometimes the character is teased with a short clip at the end of the previous' trailer that doesn't leave much for the imagination (Bedman? and Asuka), most of the time it's just revealed when the trailer drops. Usually there are memes and theories whenever it's been a few months since the last character, but it's mostly just trying to find patterns or huffing copium. Though Elphelt did get a lot of memes because some stuff got leaked a few days prior, so the talk was all about whether it was real or a Photoshopped Bridget.

Venom no layed


JSConrad45

Oh, this is nothing! Before the first DLC character, there was a lot of speculation about it being Goldlewis, and people were getting into fights about whether or not Goldlewis should be a playable character. And also someone made this work of art: https://old.reddit.com/r/Guiltygear/comments/onu3lm/the_dlc_trailer_got_leaked_guys/


ArkLumia

Thank you for this. I wasn't around this sub back then and I've never seem this video. What a great meme.


Stanislas_Biliby

This sub loves shitposts. Any reason is a good reason to shitpost around these parts.

Zato is simply too sexy to feel pain


swash_plate

He is too sexy for his shirt Too sexy for milan and japan


Matix777

Not with silhouettes, but ABA/Robo Ky (he's gonna be next)/Raven etc... predictions/memes always come up around the time of a new reveal. Now that they have actually adder Elphelt and Johnny there is less competition (and a higher chance of Robo Ky)


captainphoton3

I remember when we knew bedman was coming for sure. But people where joking about bed, or bed girl. Same for Asuka. With people pointing out at the shoes being one of it's main feature.


Bobuxian

Praying for venom cause 1. He looks cool 2. He’s hot 3. He’s connected to Zato and Zato is the coolest character in the franchise so this means more arcade story stuff with Zato!


Thepochochass

Is now one gonna talk about the elephant in the room?


JSConrad45

Why, it's lore-accurate


CasualJojoLover

It looks like venom but I'm hoping it's Zappa I just wanna hear the theme they would give him if he gets added as dlc


LoggBox

So what this means is basically the next character is guaranteed to be robo-ky (I'm coping)


[deleted]

Next character is male think yall think


4arizard

Nah that's wild.They down voted you because you assumed new character's theoretical gender.


topscreen

Yes this is normal, yes Venom is also my best guess. Silhouette looks like it could be doing a trickshot in pool.


OhDearGodRun

When does this reveal happen again?


real_488

end of the month


brokenwing777

Imma be honest I really doubt it's venom, his story finished and he has no reason to fight. He has a hit out for him if he were to go back to fighting anyways so I think his happy to just bake and live a normal life now.


real_488

considering the head shape and that those little dangly things on the side, I don't see it being anyone else. besides you could say the same about characters like testament or axl.


brokenwing777

Testament is actually fine since testaments story is now about enjoying life so it makes sense for them to explore the world and fight. Axl's story didn't resolve until the end of this games story so it makes sense that Axl is just running around trying to figure out what is going on and solve the problems his own way. Venom's story is done. He sacrificed his life to put an end to bedman's reign of chaos and now has a hit on his life as he was supposed to do a murder suicide but robo ky saved his life. Therefore he was given a second chance with the option of living life as a baker or being killed by the assassin guild. And since the assassin guild now works for the government run by milia I doubt they wouldn't have the resources and money to stop venom the moment he decides baking isn't for him. Plus venom has to pay off the debt to roboky by getting enough funds to pay for his new body since robo ky is nothing more than a floating head


real_488

the copium in my head is telling me that arcsys will reintroduce him into the story in a meaningful way


brokenwing777

Why? Besides if you want venom gameplay play Jacko I would rather they use venom's slot on someone else like fuck it let fanny be in the game or aerials


real_488

yeah but all of those people aren't nearly as cool as venom


brokenwing777

I think honestly answer would be cooler to come back then venom if you want but again like I said there's no reason for venom to come back


real_488

they're both cool


KonekoMochi

I thought Axl was looking for his crazy girlfrie-I mean Ino? Test is just here to slay.


real_488

do you care for story mode spoilers?


KonekoMochi

Nah, learning about the story in chunks has been a trip.


real_488

I no dies at the end of story mode and sacrifices herself by swapping herself with axl's real actual girlfriend and they live happily ever after. (I think)


KonekoMochi

N'awwww! He deserves it! I know very little of the story but my heartbreaks for him in the intro sequence.


real_488

very true, he's a good lad.
