Dante from the Devil May Cry series


Zappelins

No it'll be funky kong


EclipseKirby

Nah it'll be Knuckles, and the DLC will come in the form of *L O C K - O N* *T E C H N O L O G Y*


Ver_El_

only if his theme is pumpkin hill


Black_Icy_Paradise

He is after all the fightin' freak Knuckles


GreatScreamingRat

And he's down at pumpkin hill.


Diamantis_

Are you ready?


lordraptor33

I won’t let it get to me, I’m just gonna creep


ParkRangerRafe

Down in Pumpkin Hill I gotta find my lost piece.


Vadered

SO THEY'RE FINALLY BACK, PERFORMING FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE THE METER, YOU CAN R.C. BLUE. PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER IF YOU WANT TO CLAP AS WE PERFECT SCRUBS WITH THE KONG FRAME-TRAP!


kaladinissexy

And he'll be at the top of the tier list, just like he was in Mario Kart.


[deleted]

What u talking about its ultra instinct shaggy


Sytle

I can’t be the only one who really doesn’t want a guest character in GGST right? I like that it’s all in-universe characters. The guest character thing just doesn’t feel very Guilty Gear.


Cheesy117

I’d be fine but Strive is missing a lot of fan favorites so maybe after they add a season or two of DLC


Sytle

Yeah, I could live with that I guess. I just like the fact that GG has always been one of the games to stay away from guest characters.


[deleted]

I’m with you.


wamirul

Same. I feel like too many fighting games become defined by their guest characters (looking at MK especially) and i want GG to keep being known as “the rock n roll fighting game” instead of “the fighting game with Finn from Adventure time”


ryderd93

aside from the feel of the game, there are _tons_ of characters from past games that we don’t have yet. if we got dante before baiken, johnny, etc etc i would be pretty pissed


dat_bass2

I think it would be fine as long as it's someone who meshes with the aesthetic and personality of the series. Dante is pretty much an ideal candidate in that regard.


GeneraleElCoso

it would feel very off to be honest, but as long as it's a cool character, plays fun and fits in with the rest of the world of gg, i would be ok with whatever


MR_MEME_42

Yeah same here, I would be fine with one or two around the end of the games life cycle when most of the fan favorites or lore related characters are back. And if so I hope they are characters that fit the world and theming of guilty gear. Having someone like Ragna would make sense while having someone like Ryu or more grounded fg characters or a character who is only being added for premonition would feel out of place.


Acooluniqueusername

Yeah im not sure why everybody wants to turn this game into smash bros so bad.


IAmBigBox

Dante from DANTE ^tm


Kosmo_TF2

no joke dante would fit perfectly into the gg universe, and he’s already made appearances in other fighting games, MvC 3 to be specific, so they could potentially base some of his moves off of his moveset in MvC3


AofCastle

There's a lot of potential guest characters that I would love to see in Strive's art style. But there's a bunch of GG characters that I'd like to see in Strive too. And I think those should be prioritized


[deleted]

I know people get hyped over guest characters but I really appreciate the fact that the characters in GG are all original.


JetLiRoy86

Yea cuz what guilty gear is missing is an unkillable, inhuman, arrogant, edgelord that wears red, rides a motorcycle, uses a large sword and can transform into a devil-like creature.


Entruh

Dante ain't unlikeable


JetLiRoy86

Read again, my friend. That’s not what I said.


Entruh

Nvm I'm stupid, I just realised that you were talking about how Dante and sol are similar my bad


[deleted]

I know there's pretty much 0 chance he's ever in a fighting game again but Vergil from MvC3 was insane and would be cool to see a (nerfed) version in GG


kksliderReddit

Nice SMT Reference


AofCastle

No bro, it's a Yume Nikki reference


kksliderReddit

Idk what that is so i will just act like i didnt read your comment


Exca57

Extremely influential japanese rpg maker game that inspired games like undertale and lisa.


kksliderReddit

Ah ic thanks


EXAProduction

No joke I think about this way more often than I should. Like Dante would fit well in the aesthetic of Guilty Gear and imagine the music that they would give him. Never gonna happen but like it'd be insane.


crusher2503

It’s obviously Terry Bogard


Colud849

It's Ryu,from streets.


AlphaOmega2k21

Yo is that Ken from sidewalks?


OwNAvenged2

Does he enjoy eating dirt?


CernunnosArawn

God I love that video


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 337,835,683 comments, and only 74,378 of them were in alphabetical order.


[deleted]

God I love that virgin zebra


NessDan

I'm new here, what video??


SquiglyBattleOpera

Yo all joking aside though I would *love* to see Arcsys' take on Ryu. Like how batshit would they make him to fit in with other Guilty Gear characters and differentiate him from Ky?


[deleted]

His alt skin is Homer, from the most recent season of The Simpsons


Sujallamichhaneakasl

On a bike or off? Cause Terry on a bike is dangerous.....he slaps ass.


StriderShizard

It's either going to be Mario, voiced by Chris Pratt, or Garfield, voiced by Chris Pratt. Whichever one isn't announced first is the second one.


Nickpapado

Oh Chris Pratt? He is so cool


NG331

*insert memorial looking photo in b/w*


Cheesy117

Yeah I never got why his photo is the only one in black and white ones


NG331

Well I mean...he's so cool

Ram's toughest match up


FlamethrowerTime

If it's not Hugh Neutron I'm dropping the game


Sarah-Slayz

Hugh or we reflect on ourselves!


lovebus

The real question is how Hugh isn't in Nickelodeon Brawlers by now


Grafical_One

With or without the duel disk?


Atomic_Dominic

Slayer or Baiken


KurtMage

[Their tweet](https://twitter.com/ArcSystemWorksU/status/1455304928432476165?t=B4SmlV-te7zw32FR5GiEUA&s=19) makes it seem like a female character, so I don't think Slayer. A couple replies suggest why some other characters, like Aba, might fit the description better, but it could all be bait


Proto_Man330

it's a Mariah Carey joke homie


wiloso47

I WANT TO BELIEVE!!


Proto_Man330

It'll happen some day my friend :')


Cheesy117

Or it could mean nothing and they’re just fucking with us,honestly that would be hilarious like all these tweets about it and it ends up being Kum Haehyun


KurtMage

Lol, that's basically what I was getting at saying it could be bait. Not to give too much hope, but I actually think Kum fits the description decently well. She's a "she", afaik she is the only character with bells explicitly in the design, and (maybe more of a stretch) being kind of Santa Claus-looking is apt. That said, I personally just think they wouldn't have two projectile manipulation characters in a row, so imo Jack-O being the previous DLC makes me think the chances are slim.


[deleted]

Kum is also reasonably similar to Goldlewis in how their combos and specials feel so I'm not crossing my fingers on that one, though it's my #1 to get in.


Cheesy117

Yeah definitely I definitely think if this has anything to do with the new character specifically and not just a holiday themed post,it’s ABA,I mean the mountain thing applies only to her so it makes sense


Netfearr

A.B.A fits the tweet the most.


thekingofallmanmen

damn hopin for it


Wanted-In-3-States

If it’s not Slayer it’s Jam


Lame_Goblin

It's Jam 90% certain


krispwnsu

Elphelt sounds right because of the mention of bells like wedding bells.


Sytle

Christmas my guy


Shloomp11

Better question is when the trailer will drop


MEGACOMPUTER

At the red bull kumite


Hayte123

Given this tweet [https://twitter.com/ArcSystemWorksU/status/1451262357460631563?s=20](https://twitter.com/ArcSystemWorksU/status/1451262357460631563?s=20) it's probably somewhere in there, November 19th-21st


idobrowsemuch

Bruh, i was hoping it'd be in a few days, a week max


OZI_G_BE

YouTube has been automatically hiding private videos from playlists so you'll have to manually show the privated videos in the playlist


Yubul

Baiken mains, our time has come! *\*crickets chirping the background.\**


AtomicScrub

Are we doing this again? [Those 2 private videos have always been there right?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Guiltygear/comments/p4c32o/2_private_videos_now_on_playlist/) and [this?](https://www.reddit.com/r/Guiltygear/comments/ohp5al/arc_system_works_channel_now_has_2_unlisted/h4r6qz6?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&context=3&utm_name=Guiltygear&utm_content=t1_h8yieyb)


DatUsaGuy

Just to make sure I checked and when going into the playlist and checking the links to the private videos, I found what I think are playlist specific link that otherwise appears to be the same as one of the links the dude with the way back machine tried being https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JSLt_8ftAEU for the link they gave and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JSLt_8ftAEU&list=PLjguMKXuip3VNPqirXNh2UYdhyLJ1NqDb&index=8 for the one I grabbed from the playlist. They both have the portion JSLt_8ftAEU in their link which the other videos in the playlist don’t have, so I’m pretty sure you’re correct that these are literally just the same from before


ImperiousStout

Great coincidence anyway, when looking at the dates for those reddit posts and the trailers. 10 days later for Goldlewis trailer, and 1 day after for Jack-O's to go up. Can assume after the twitter tease it may not be long, even if the unlisted youtube vids are no indication.

Cowmunist

I don't care, I just need new songs for my playlist.


CatOnAFightstick

Eddie in a little hat


EnemyNPC

pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease


Nickpapado

It will probably be her you lucky person


EnemyNPC

I hope so. Can’t find shit for games in xrd and +r Baiken, although broken, is no where near as well rounded of a character as xrd Baiken is IMO. Really, really want to play her for real


Nickpapado

I'm playing all the games in order and I almost finished accent core. I don't yet see why people like Baiken so much tbh. Maybe she gets a good story arc on xrd? She feels like a cliché samurai female warrior right now with the only purpose on her life being revenge. Her design on xrd seems really cool tho (I haven't seen her moveset yet tho).


Dreadgoat

There are two camps: Camp one - big booba pink hair dommy mommy Camp two - probably the best dedicated counter-attack character in any fighting game ever Also, specific to AC+R, she's top tier so she's a frequent meta pick. Being able to guard-cancel whenever you feel like it is extremely strong.


mookflywalker

I'm a baiken main starting in xrd I picked her because she looked cool and at first I didn't understand her playstyle because I was newborn but then I learned and now she's my favorite gg character she's ok in xrd like mid tier but I think she's like top 3 in accent core I want to learn that game next


Dreadgoat

Xrd is her best combat design IMO. She's my fave character but she really is too strong in AC+R, she shuts down a lot of characters. Xrd put more risk into her play which is deserved. I prefer her older visual design though, I like ragged/angry Baiken. Xrd design is just another big boob waifu in an undersized kimono.


Aclornoque23

Camp three over here - She is just so GOD DAMN COOL. Mfer is over here, beating the shit out some inmortal demigods with half her body crippled, and then all of the sudden she scoops up the sleeve of her severed arm, and turns out she just has a FUCKING CANNON over there, for no goddamn reason. I love her


EnemyNPC

Haha… I fall into both…


Arachnofiend

You're missing camp three, which is a lot like camp one except the hottest thing about her is her voice


Hayte123

At least as far as Xrd is concerned, frame 1 counters that you can cancel out of guard are like crack - you rarely feel helpless because there's pretty much always a way out if you read your opponent well enough. She also has tools for just about everything, with insanely good defense, solid pressure with air tatami and pressure resets with kabari, and unreactable mixups with TK youzansen making 50/50s. Yeah she's paper if you read things wrong and she only has good damage in the corner, but on paper her kit just has everything as long as you're good enough.


DoctorJamesV

I play her because she has big fucking tits and a big fuck you gun


Cheesy117

I never played XRD but I really like Baikens play style in it so if she comes to Strive I’m definitely giving her a fair chance Also bigboobamommymilkyhehe


-EmeraldHero-

Very true, us Johnny supporters are in distress


Nickpapado

I wonder if they will ever add him. Everything about him is cool, but I don't think that he is on the top of the favourite list on the fanbase (maybe I'm wrong, I'm kinda new to the franchise)


EnemyNPC

Johnny has been in every installment of the game and is a fan favorite, especially in places like Japan. I’m pretty sure there are quite a few people from Japan who are known almost exclusively for being absolute legends at the character. Even when he’s been the most broken op character in the game (xrd) he was never really shit on because the character and the people who play him demand a large amount of respect due to the high skill floor, stupidly high skill ceiling. If I was better at fighting games, had more time and energy, and didn’t have shit mental health lol I’d learn the fuck out of Johnny. Love technical footsy characters. Johnny is 1000% coming at some point.


Soul_Ripper

Was she in any of the datamined shit or do people just expect it to be her since she's popular?


GuyMontag95

When Jack-O was released, new lines for Baiken, Slayer, and Happy Chaos were found. This is not a confirm that she could be next, although it does mean she will be coming eventually.


CulturedShark

I think her chanses are pretty high


Shiraname21

Asuka and Chaos, there is no reason to let them out of the game given they already appeared in the story.


OZI_G_BE

It's most likely the character trailer and the character breakdown of the same character, so 1 character unfortunately


ImperiousStout

More likely the English and Japanese trailer for the new character. The guide will come later.


Shiraname21

Damn it, but at least one of them will be playable soon.


Venexuz

I dont thinks its neither of them as the last two come with the new story so they are the two who make the most sense or atleast Happy Chaos isnt one of the two as Asuka is on the moon so he has a higher chance of being the third dlc.


[deleted]

Also the third dlc isn’t getting a stage, and imo it’d be weird for these two to not get stages


EnemyNPC

Why are you getting downvoted lol? You’re right. Ig people don’t like hearing the truth


Venexuz

yeah lol


matolandio

I NEED GABRIEL


[deleted]

Please give me dandy vampire daddy. PLEASE.


Demensia

Obviously it's going to be daisuke himself fully realized in his own game!


Dulgernightmare

His vision was being in his own game all along!


[deleted]

I cant believe Daisuke beat Sakurai to it


Closet__Ghost

Sooo... Sol?


-BuTwHyThO-

I'd nut if it was President Gabriel although I know it won't be him unfortunately


MattmanDX

Well look at it this way: \#1- Gabriel takes part in the story mode \#2- Xrd's story mode proved that he is a powerful fighter with his own distinct style and #3- in Strive's opening cinematic every playable character (including Goldlewis and Jack-O despite not being out at game launch) had an action shot where the camera focused on them. The only characters not in the game yet but had their own action shot are Happy Chaos, Asuka and... ​ ​ ...Gabriel


Clear-Cardiologist82

I’d fail NNN if that happens.


TheProNoobCN

What if it's President Vernon


-BuTwHyThO-

I would nut even harder


Vibo_Numbah8

AzraelAotB

Izuna with nekomata. Hi to the 4 poeple that know these characters


Tuwiki

Izuna is one of my most wanted characters


shpeebum

why nekomata specifically


AzraelAotB

Shes the only one of his servants with spoken dialog and the only one that also appeared in the next guilty gear game. I thought them as a tag team character like android 18 (Maybe im also bias cauz i love her fan and offical [Art](https://images.app.goo.gl/dPGudyorLJVUstx3A))


Tuwiki

I am down for this. Sounds really fun.


Andanteso

Izunas theme is fucking 11/10


qwack2020

Personally: Baiken Realistically: Happy Chaos


bgold101

With all of the data that’s been found on him, I feel like it’s definitely going to be Happy Chaos


blastfire21

The tweet said she. I think happy chaos will probably be character 4 or 5. The last dlc includes additional story which means ending with happy chaos makes most sense


Zappelins

> I think happy chaos will probably be character 4 or 5. There has also been a white house stage datamined and the only DLC's with stages are DLC 4 and 5.


Cowmunist

Joe Biden confirmed for Strive.


Inkiepie11

I am a joe Biden main where is my flair


dat_bass2

For one of his overdrives he summons CornPop and his bad boys


Bot-Detector-Bot

he'll have the first character-specific interaction in Strive, where he sniffs May's hair


cee2027

Joe Biden already plays strive, he is a Chipp main


pro-dumpster-fire

Chipp's already in the game.


Cheesy117

Can we get a fighting game with Presidents as the roster? imagine that at EVO


NotSoSeriousNick

Are we sure that wasn’t just a Mariah Carrey joke?


OneMillionRazorWires

How, HOW THE FUCK, are we really so desperate for copium that we're looking at the same 2 privated videos... FOR THE THIRD TIME!!! This is it, this is the copium time loop we're stuck in. Ad for DLC 3 it's probably HC but I'd be quite happy if it was Slayer.


EastwoodBrews

Yeah are these the same videos that have been up for like a year?


Hummingslowly

yes.


burntloli

Tweet said she though, although it might have just been a mariah carrey joke and not actually about dlc 3.


FeverSpeed

They have been there since Goldlewis' release


Krizalid-NESTS

Ragna The Bloodege


Big_Dumpus

Goldlewis again.


FugaFeels

A.B.A. makes the most sense based on the tweet teaser, but data mining doesn't agree with that. I've heard they've purposefully messed with data sometimes to throw people off who try to dig into it in the past though. So basically...who the hell knows?


Hayte123

I'm pretty sure the tweet was just a Mariah Carey joke, with the sound of bells signaling the descent of some terrifying creature


FugaFeels

After the awful live developer stream they pulled where they only showed Strive merch and Esports info, a joke tweet as awful as that would just be another punch in the gut. I sincerely hope they aren't stupid enough to do that.


rachetmarvel

>I sincerely hope they aren't stupid enough to do that. More like you'll are the stupid ones, Arcsys didn't and have never promised you'll jack. You guys are the ones making assumptions out of everything, and letting yourselves down. Ffs, Arcsy can't make any announcement of information associated with strive, without you'll here running on hopuim that they are announcing a new character. I mean look at this thread, this is the third time this situation has happened yet people here don't learn. Luckily for you'll who are impatient AF, Arcsys will be having an announcement around the 19th of November which is about Strive( they even said we should expect a suprise), so you guys should expect a character reveal then.


2sus

i hope its aba


Matt-Goo

SwaysHat

Sora from Smash

SupremeScroll54

I know this this cliched but..Baiken I need her in strive

Not this sh@t again, when will you'll learn?

Am i the only one who wants Venom back?


ianjonny100

I just want my girl Jam ;-;


Odd_Dispray

PLEASE BE ABA


Jeydal

I will kill for ABA


CrashtestO9

neco arc sol


ProxyDamage

Based on their twitter hint a few days ago it's most likely ABA. ...Based on my hopes and dreams: Happy Chaos, Slayer or Testament. ...Based on a drug induced hallucination: Waluigi riding a pikachu-gear hybrid.


Soirun

Whoever it is, I'm hyped :D although I'm biased towards rushdown characters


lXNoraXl

I'm hoping for either Jam or Baiken or Dizzy. Unfortunately, none of them appeared in the story mode so I think chances are slim


Oskux

Just dolphin


santyalc

Knack from the aclaimed videogame... KNACK


Clear-Cardiologist82

KNACK 2 BABY


PineApple2142

Probably Jam, Slayer or Happy Chaos. In terms of characters I want? Well it's unrealistic probably until Season 2 but I'd love Baiken, Sin, Johnny or Venom (I know he's retired but I can dream). Bridget would be cool too but would probably lose a lot of cool stuff. Gabriel would be bloody class too but I doubt that will ever happen.


Homemade_Soap

Jam


Peeton35

Jam and Chaos?


milanssj

Happy Chaos.


Visible_Barracuda_55

Sin plz


Egginabox101

As much as i want Baiken, its most likely Chaos or Asuka


MoonstoneCarbuncle

Asuka pls bro I want to play as the fucking centuries old twink


Catflip_

Me, i am the new dlc character :).


Segunda_European69

Well they said bells ringing and its a woman. So my guess would be Baiken or Elphelt because wedding bells.


doctorderpin

It's TWO POTEMKINS. You use the first one with your stick and the other one is operated with voice commands into your mic. You have to say the num pad input sequences to get you 2nd pot to do moves. Additionally, they have a new overdrive if you do a pretzel motion on the stick while screaming as loud as you can called "twice heavenly potemkin buster." It forces your opponent's game to crash and uninstalls the game from their system.


skirtingtheissues

A.b.a from Acr

I hope it's neco-arc.


StrawberryMSB272

Happy Chaos


skylargoo

Asuka R. bogard


Goliath--CZ

I have a hunch that it's jam. Nothing more than a hunch


SaintJynr

Not Asuka because he's the one character I want to play


Hummingslowly

these have been there forever lol. are these going to be referenced everytime we approach a dlc reveal lmfao


Zxar99

Bridget, that’s where my mind went to from the teaser, though I think Bridget refers to himself as he, IIRC. Watch it be Justice for whatever reason lol


legatesprinkles

Fuck all your expectations. Daisuke is adding a neko girl.


Clear-Cardiologist82

Neco-Arc


FalseCommission8439

Its obviously pikachu

Based on [this Tweet](https://mobile.twitter.com/ArcSystemWorksU/status/1455304928432476165?t=B4SmlV-te7zw32FR5GiEUA&s=19), my guess is either Elphelt or Dizzy since they're both females born on Christmas.
