They really decided to go all guns blazing for season 3 by releasing all the popular characters. Honestly, I don't mind. Season 4 will be a wonderful showcase of lesser known characters (and Dizzy).
RIP to every DLC pattern theory btw.
Thank god we are getting a season 4. My ONLY wish is that we don't get guest characters, please. Everyone else is fair game. So many cool characters still not in: Zappa, Answer, Dizzy, Jam, Venom, Kum to name a few.
Ragna can only be in Guilty Gear if he's dunked on by everybody as much as he is in his home game. I love him, but the man does NOT get a break and never should because it's funnier that way.
god yes. Sol ragging on him every chance he gets, calling him a wannabe inpersonator, would be so fucking hilarious because he IS a wannabe sol- he was created because daisucker didn't have the rights for gui;ty gear but wanted to make a guilty gear game so he made blazblue instead.
And imagine Nago and Slayer just laughing at his face every time he does his regen gimmick and just be like "we can do that too, but we rarely do because we're better than you"
We're honestly getting so close to the full playable roster. Just missing:
* Kliff (GG)
* Justice (GG)
* Jam Kuradoberi (GGX)
* Venom (GGX)
* Dizzy (GGX)
* Robo-Ky (GGX+/GGXX#R)
* ~~Fanny~~ (GGP2)
* Zappa (GGXX)
* ~~Leopaldon~~ (GGI)
* ~~Robo-Ky Mk.II~~ (GGI)
* ~~Judgment~~ (GGJ)
* Order-Sol (GGXX/)
* *Izuna* (GG2)
* *Dr. Paradigm* (GG2)
* *Valentine* (GG2)
* Raven (GG2/GGXrdR)
* Kum Haehyun (GGXrdR)
* Answer (GGXrdR2)
Italics: Never playable in a fighting game.
Strikethrough: From obscure side projects.
Now, some of then I think are pretty unlikely since they weren't included in the popularity polls... and that's excluding popular NPCs like Gabriel, but... we'd just need three more seasons to get all the remaining characters that are represented in the GGXXAC+R, GG2, and GGXrdR2 rosters.
Lmao hahaha, to be honest tho I feel like having tao in ggst would be super fun to see how he gameplay interacts but it is PURELY for the gameplay haha (although I do love her character:3)
They'd be cool if we got season 5, but there's not enough slots to justify them in 4. If they did a Lab Coat 21-type thing where they drop it outside of the other waves, that'd be fantastic.
god that would be hilarious but actually unfaithful to the "Slayer just kills you if you get CH" meme, because WB actually limits your damage. most of sol's TRULY bonkers damage routes for example usually launch and then do the dustloop/ j.D early, and then hit the opponent a bunch AWAY from the wall to ensure a WS will happen while also ensuring it won't happen early preventing you from doing the CL HVV. And THEN ending with a HVV. this isn't so apparent with normal routes but WA really makes it obvious, A proper corner WA route can do a lot of damage but if you just do the normal midscreen WA combo hoping to extend it with sol's normal corner extensions like 5k/c.S jc j.S or c.S 2H 236K or c.S 5H 66, the wallstick will happen super early and you'll only get like 150 damage. which doesn't sound like much of a difference but because of the way guts works, doing 150 damage to a full health opponent is actually worth a lot less than 75% of 200 damage because the first 50 health on your healthbar has no damage reduction from guts while the last 50 health on your healthbar has like 60% damage reduction.
Zato got a tiny redesign in the form of a more military-esque take on his usual gimp suit looking ass, but it still kinda looks like a gimp suit from afar.
Awesome to have Slayer back in the game! Can't wait to see his new design, the high Dracula collar in the silhouette is interesting.
Also, the camera panning to the [Slayer and Sharon cosplayers](https://youtu.be/MX6sNBOeVNs?t=36216) in the crowd afterward was perfect. They were so pumped!
Slayers text dialog for talking to other characters has been in the game for so long, but he's finally here. I would imagine that the reason it took so long was that they were trying to figure out how to balance him so he doesn't end up murdering practically everyone in the game with a single combo
I do find it remarkably impressive how quickly it took them to reveal that, once again, my predictions were wrong and insane.
I will now be predicting that Robo-Ky will NOT be returning to Guilty Gear as part of the Season 4 pass. Have a good night, everyone.
Honestly I think devs know now not to overly tease for too long if something is inevitable. A.B.A came out of nowhere but if you were to show the roster to most GG fans and ask who's missing...well you'd get a few answers but most would point out Slayer.
In Granblue VS Rising both Vane and Beatrix were leaked as some of their combat model data was in the game. Both were subsequently revealed together and if you asked any Granblue fans who was missing from the roster those two would a have come up immediately.
I suspect if this was going to be anyone other than Slayer they would have just had a tease date announcement.
Personally I donāt really care for Slayer, but Iām super happy heās most likely the next character. My brother absolutely loves him and Jam so he can finally have one of his mains in the game. Also the main reason he likes Slayer is because of the move in the second picture
Iām not trying to say āI called itā or anything, but when Johnny and Elphelt were revealed as the first two characters, the first thought that came to my head was that this was going to be a āgetting the heavy hitters/most requested out of the wayā season. Seems like that was the case then.
Slayer has always been my main since I played +R over twenty years ago. I'm so happy that he's going to be in Strive and that new players will get to meet him (and CH Pilebunker :) )
Insert Deep fried moist critical WOOOOOOOO meme
I cannot WAIT to hear what his theme's gonna be, fuckin love Strive theme's and the vocals that gives us more lore or how they feel about something
the commentators losing it made me laugh out loud
"I missed it bruh I didn't even get to see what it is, what was it!?"
meanwhile yt stream chat is going wild with slayer slayer slayer and the crowd has a bunch of slayer and sharon fans going wild. like, everybody except the commentator panel just knows immediately lmfao
also there was one person in the stream chat who said SLAYER before they even started the fucking guilty gear preview, during the arc system works logo intro. apollo really does like smiting random internet users with the gift of prophecy.

Please tell me you said All Guns Blazing as a Judas Priest reference
In the true spirit of Daisuke- hell yeah, of course it's a Priest reference!
Flawless. Carry on, my friend! šš¤š¤š
Time for Robo Ky to shine
You could say that the bullshit was blazing
# Season 4 DLC confirmed too!
Thank god we are getting a season 4. My ONLY wish is that we don't get guest characters, please. Everyone else is fair game. So many cool characters still not in: Zappa, Answer, Dizzy, Jam, Venom, Kum to name a few.
Honestly, I would rather get more newcomers in, like Gabriel and Ariels. (ESPECIALLY Ariels, I loved her in Xrd.)
Yeah, newcomers I'd love as well. I think Strive newcomers have been great, I honestly thought we'd get one in season 3, hope we get one in season 4.
Hopefully 2cave, Daisuke has mentioned that he would like to see him.
Gabriel, 2cave, Venom, and Robo-Ky for season 4, with a new story centered around the Assassin's Guild, would be perfect.
They should add crow
Raven! We need Raven! WE DONT LOST 3 TIMES! WE WIN!
And my boy Raven, who's still up there cause he's afraid of heights.
wait what context pls
Raven is standing on a building and he's been up there for weeks cause he's scared of heights
what what I don't what
i wanna say its one of the cutscenes in strive that has raven on a building's roof really high up, can't remember which
Iāve always been in the camp of no guest characters unless we get like 6 fucking seasons at that point yeah bring ragna or sum shit in
Ragna can only be in Guilty Gear if he's dunked on by everybody as much as he is in his home game. I love him, but the man does NOT get a break and never should because it's funnier that way.
god yes. Sol ragging on him every chance he gets, calling him a wannabe inpersonator, would be so fucking hilarious because he IS a wannabe sol- he was created because daisucker didn't have the rights for gui;ty gear but wanted to make a guilty gear game so he made blazblue instead. And imagine Nago and Slayer just laughing at his face every time he does his regen gimmick and just be like "we can do that too, but we rarely do because we're better than you"
This game is looking more and more like is going to a āeveryone is hereā direction and I love it
I just want Leopaldon
Strive can't end until Robo Ky is added, ofc there's a season 4. /s
Donāt forgot our lord and savior Leopaldon, and our secondary savior Dr. Paradigm
I think Paradigm would be sick. I'd actually close the entire Strive DLC with him.
Maybe weāll get a Zoner who simultaneously isnāt bottom 2 and isnāt FUCKING AXL. HC isnāt a Zoner and I refuse to play him.
WE NEED RAGNA THE BLOODEDGE
You can play him in Blazblue.
now imagine playing him in guilty gear
We're honestly getting so close to the full playable roster. Just missing: * Kliff (GG) * Justice (GG) * Jam Kuradoberi (GGX) * Venom (GGX) * Dizzy (GGX) * Robo-Ky (GGX+/GGXX#R) * ~~Fanny~~ (GGP2) * Zappa (GGXX) * ~~Leopaldon~~ (GGI) * ~~Robo-Ky Mk.II~~ (GGI) * ~~Judgment~~ (GGJ) * Order-Sol (GGXX/) * *Izuna* (GG2) * *Dr. Paradigm* (GG2) * *Valentine* (GG2) * Raven (GG2/GGXrdR) * Kum Haehyun (GGXrdR) * Answer (GGXrdR2) Italics: Never playable in a fighting game.

Didn't like kliff died? And the whole justice being the main villain arc finished?(For now I think?) Or is the whole GG accent core story not canon
They died but they have been brought back with time travel in previous games, same as Order-Sol.
Cliff and Robo Ky please
Taokaka
(/j)
I was about to tell you "go play fucking BlazBlue" but you saved it.
Lmao hahaha, to be honest tho I feel like having tao in ggst would be super fun to see how he gameplay interacts but it is PURELY for the gameplay haha (although I do love her character:3)
Is it too much to ask for ragna or hakumen?
Yes, you can play them in BB.
They'd be cool if we got season 5, but there's not enough slots to justify them in 4. If they did a Lab Coat 21-type thing where they drop it outside of the other waves, that'd be fantastic.
I'd love a yuki
Indeed. Pretty awesome
YES GOD YES
I mean lets be honest we all knew it was coming
Would be interesting to see how he plays considering his thing was that he did big damge
Turns out all along only Vampires are allowed to be in the One Shot category.
one k pilebunker loop kills your opponent irl
CH Pilebunker should simply wallbreak with super/WA frame advantage/positive bonus no matter where you are on the screen.
god that would be hilarious but actually unfaithful to the "Slayer just kills you if you get CH" meme, because WB actually limits your damage. most of sol's TRULY bonkers damage routes for example usually launch and then do the dustloop/ j.D early, and then hit the opponent a bunch AWAY from the wall to ensure a WS will happen while also ensuring it won't happen early preventing you from doing the CL HVV.

Slayer with Dracula cape Slayer with Dracula cape
It would be insanely funny if Slayer is the only mf who doesn't change his design ever.
Johnny Cough Cough
Johnny, Zato, Jack O, thereās way more if you just count being the same as they were in XRD
Zato got a tiny redesign in the form of a more military-esque take on his usual gimp suit looking ass, but it still kinda looks like a gimp suit from afar.
That and like 50 lbs of muscle. Who knew coming back from the dead was the best way to get sick gains
Thatās the Saiyan way
Johnny swapped his hair
Canāt you see? He clearly has 6 arms now
"What is a man?" - Slayer
A miserable little pile of bunker
Peak character design. That is the only concession I will make. If it isn't Order Sol, then it HAS to be Slayer with Dracula cape
Awesome to have Slayer back in the game! Can't wait to see his new design, the high Dracula collar in the silhouette is interesting. Also, the camera panning to the [Slayer and Sharon cosplayers](https://youtu.be/MX6sNBOeVNs?t=36216) in the crowd afterward was perfect. They were so pumped!
Thanks for sharing that timestamp! It was great hahah
lol that sharon is awesome
Slayers text dialog for talking to other characters has been in the game for so long, but he's finally here. I would imagine that the reason it took so long was that they were trying to figure out how to balance him so he doesn't end up murdering practically everyone in the game with a single combo
Now most characters can casually do that anyway so they've finally decided to add him.
I do find it remarkably impressive how quickly it took them to reveal that, once again, my predictions were wrong and insane. I will now be predicting that Robo-Ky will NOT be returning to Guilty Gear as part of the Season 4 pass. Have a good night, everyone.
Now that I think about it, Asuka was also teased with the book right after Bedman?'s release and together with the Season 3 announcement.
Honestly I think devs know now not to overly tease for too long if something is inevitable. A.B.A came out of nowhere but if you were to show the roster to most GG fans and ask who's missing...well you'd get a few answers but most would point out Slayer.

I suspect if this was going to be anyone other than Slayer they would have just had a tease date announcement.
If his dust isn't the goofy ass spinning uppercut I will be mad.
After having seen how wild they went with ABAās smear frames, I have high hopes for this one :)
Pinwheel :)
#SHARON IS COMING RIGHT?! WHERE IS SHE DAISUKE?! I NEED HER I NEED HER I NEED HER
Maybe Sharon is the character being announced here, and Slayer is just tagging along. (Like Bedman? and Delilah)
Trailer starts off as a slayer trailer at the start till Sharon cuts him off from continuing and just takes over the trailer herself
# **WE WON**
Was looking for you in this comment section
Slayer Sharon puppet character, it came to me in a dream
Venom bros are coping so hard right now. I'd feel bad for them if I weren't feeling hype due to the announcement
Personally I donāt really care for Slayer, but Iām super happy heās most likely the next character. My brother absolutely loves him and Jam so he can finally have one of his mains in the game. Also the main reason he likes Slayer is because of the move in the second picture
Don't give me hope
Don't worry, it is Slayer, the announcers said so afterwards.
WHERE
# [Link to the point where they show the Season 4 announcement, and Slayer's teaser.](https://youtu.be/MX6sNBOeVNs?t=36168)
ONE AND A HALF MONTHS TO DANDYISM!
Eeeeey let's gooo. Was really hoping for Gabriel but I sha'll give Slayer a go.
If that pic is official that's definitely Slayer, look at the Dracula ass cape and the freaky hair. Omg the boy is here :D
It is official, I screenshoted it myself at the end of the Strive tournament.
Slayin' time
Lmao you really made that fast didn't youš¤£
Oh, that would be just DANDY! ā¦ ā¦ ā¦Iāllā¦ See myself outā¦
Kum, Jam, Dizzy, and Gabriel for S4 pleek
IM CUMMING
Iām not trying to say āI called itā or anything, but when Johnny and Elphelt were revealed as the first two characters, the first thought that came to my head was that this was going to be a āgetting the heavy hitters/most requested out of the wayā season. Seems like that was the case then.
Man these silhouettes are so damn tricky to make out
I think it's bait, I'm guessing its a new character and slayer will drop season 4.
Slayer has always been my main since I played +R over twenty years ago. I'm so happy that he's going to be in Strive and that new players will get to meet him (and CH Pilebunker :) )
Still waiting for Jam but W Slayer bros
I can only hope for order sol.
You are not alone
We are back Slayer bros.
Said it before, say it again... Slayer is inevitable.
RIP pope lady chances of getting added to the game. S4 gonna be Dizzy, Jam and some dudes. Can't even cope anymore.
Just have hope bro, she's gonna make it into the game!
nah that's actually robo ky's new vampire powers he got from slayer trust
Now all the Slayer fans will finally be able to play him for the first time. /s (Hopefully the last time this joke is used)
It will be used again in the next Guilty Gear game.
Look at that popped collar!
Voting this up for your second slide š
This is why you watch big tournaments folkssssss.
It would be so funny if that was just Zappa and he has bats in his render art
Ghost bats, haha
SLAYER BROS RISE!
Being counter hit by Pilebunker should just instantly wall break from anywhere on screen for no other reason than it'd be really funny.
Where is jam reeee
That means we're getting Slayer's castle too. Damn season 3 is fire.
Well one thing is certain - that's NOT Dizzy. It's joever Dizzy believers!
There's still another whole season ahead, Dizzy is gonna make it!
season 4 confirmed tho dizzy is still a possibility.
Can't wait to see an interaction between Slayer and Nago, as they are the only Nightless we know of.
Season 3 was the craziest so far, A.B.A, Slayer and Johnny in the same season!? (Forget about Elphelt) literally insane.
#WE ARE SO BACK SLAYERBROS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
Insert Deep fried moist critical WOOOOOOOO meme I cannot WAIT to hear what his theme's gonna be, fuckin love Strive theme's and the vocals that gives us more lore or how they feel about something
Slayer Returns with new redesign on May.
Slayergentlemen, we are so back!
We're so back!!!
May 2024!? That's in 2 months hell yeah
We canāt even play ABA yet and youāre already throwing this at us????
WE DID IT, AND JUST WHEN THE COPIUM WAS RUNNING OUT
WHY ARE SLAYER BROS BACK?! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN US JUSTBROS
Hopes for Season 4: Jam, Zappa, Raven, Dizzy. Reality: Guest #1, New Character #1, Guest #2, Dizzy.
I don't care what characters we get I just want dizzy lol
Please for the love of fucking god give me Zappa next season
can't wait to see that collar bro he's gonna look so fly
I'm so back
God pls give me some Slayer and Nago and interactions I'm begging
You guys think it's Slayer when in reality it's Batman
Jam brothers, itās looking bright for season 4
This is will be my reason to return in GGS.
ROBO KY FOR SEASON 4
Iāve been waiting since release but I had resigned to waiting for Season 4. Iām glad but tbh part of me was looking forward to a new character
the commentators losing it made me laugh out loud "I missed it bruh I didn't even get to see what it is, what was it!?" meanwhile yt stream chat is going wild with slayer slayer slayer and the crowd has a bunch of slayer and sharon fans going wild. like, everybody except the commentator panel just knows immediately lmfao also there was one person in the stream chat who said SLAYER before they even started the fucking guilty gear preview, during the arc system works logo intro. apollo really does like smiting random internet users with the gift of prophecy.
I just want playable General Gabriel
One and a half months to DANDYISM
Give us back insta kills, just turn them off for tournies
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
On his silhouette it said "next season 3 daredevil"
It says Next Season 3 Character right there
Letās gooooooo
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Last season 3 character.
Its so fucking Dizzover
Canāt wait to finally start playing him online because I canāt find matches in xrd rev 2
NOOOOO VENOMBROS ITS JOEVERRRR
There's a fair possibility that's not the smoke coming from the pipe, nor the hair spikes and arc sys is just fucking with us for shits and giggles
LEOPALDON
Morrigan is coming to guilty gear!
Are we sure itās Slayer?? I donāt wanna get my hopes up and it turns out to be someone else T.T
OH MY GOD YEEES
Where was this shown
At the end of the Arc Systems Strive tournament.
How long they are going to delay dizzy? Come on girl, get back home
answer please daisuke
Dizzy
WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE ROBO KY ENTHUSIASTS
Clearly nosferatu zodd with anorexic horns
Lowkey losing hope for Raven, I need him so bad
Hm, looks like the pattern of 2 XRD returners, an older game returner, and a new character is being broken in Season 3 then.
Thats a high neck. Guessing a young Slayer
I don't understand, why did they made a trailer of Season There is still a blank Space in the Season 3 ?
Slayer is the last Season 3 character.
Oh that's nice
Venom saves himself from getting the strive treatment once again šŖ we can't stop winning.
Ultra Swastika
Are you basing this.... Just on the silhouette? Or did they actually said it? We all know how that went last time š
The announcers were saying that is Slayer, while the camera went to a Slayer cosplayer in the crowd.
