Maybe it's just me, but i would love for Order Sol to comeback. It would be great to compare basically the last version of Sol with his first in one game
I have no previous experience with Guilty Gear before Strive, but from observing the DLC and seeing the community takes over the past year, I think it's safe to stop trying to predict doom or godhood from any character based on the previous games. I've seen the crazy broken Testament combos from previous games. There is absolutely no chance that's the Testament you'd get in this game. ArcSys has been adamant and consistent about making Strive be Strive. All the doom around Baiken was hilarious to watch knowing that. Definitely be pulling for your favorite character because you like that character. Certainly don't root for or against a character based on preconceiving them as a bag of their old moves. As for me, I support the inclusion of any and all visually pleasing characters.
Zappa is sadly really unlikely to make another appearence,at least frm story take,cause he was actually cured of his possesion(or at least seemed like)
also i love how you never forgot izuna even rev makes a passing mention of him but never shows him i sorta miss him, because gg2 was the first game i ever played
for new characters I definitely want Delilah (Bedman's sister) the most. For returners I want Slayer. I wouldn't mind my girl Haehyun to return with or without the mech too.
I'm really hoping A.B.A gets added as DLC, with the increased knockback and slower movement speed she'd have way more chanced to pop blood packs, and thus chances to be way better. I also feel like strive doesn't have a proper high risk high reward character yet, and she fits that perfectly
the singular character i want to see in strive is a.b.a, not just because she has my favourite design, gameplay and personality, but also because of how cool her moroha mode could look in this game, let alone her goku moroha mode.
My bet on the final DLC character for season 1 is Asuka (That Man). I also expect that Jam, Dizzy and Jhonny will eventually be returning, and have hope for Venom as well. As far as new characters I definitely agree with Gabriel and want at least one guest character either from Samurai Showdown or Blazblue.
Slayer is a must for me. I also want them to shenanigans a way to get Zappa repossessed so they can bring him back. I wouldn’t be mad at Gabriel, though.
To be honest, Johnny is basically the one character I think WILL, without a hint of a doubt, be a dlc. He's been top 1 most popular character in one of the polls ArcSys launched before the game's launch, and he's just way too loved to not be in. I just really hope they bring him back soon. Because Johnny, man.
I would love a less cheesy version of testament. Also gabriel. After watching the storymode of xrd, I was surprised to see he wasn't dlc in that game. Punch-man general with astral projection fists. That was super hype.
Baiken came out along with a new stage, but whenever you pick her the stage automatically sets for Colony, with means that Lap of the Kami is not her stage. That got me wondering... may the next character is Izuna? The new stage got a lot of spirits and foxes envoys, so it makes some sense, right?
The thing about it is that it depends on what type of update it is. If it is a story update, then as the final character for the closing of the season (and possible story) is gonna be the character most revelent to the story-- Elphelt.
tbh im pretty confident that the leaks are true and slayer is the last season 1 dlc character but imma be real with you.... they gotta put testament in the game one way or another. they made him a brand new model for strive (he was ABSENT in xrd, very important) with a new design (the hat) just for him to show up for a few seconds in a credits shot and hes barely even visible to begin with. hes gotta come back. if he doesnt im gonna make some heads roll. also, baker venom would be nice for a silly fg character. attacking with bread and stuff. we need that.
I've only played strive and rev2 so my picks would probably be Johnny, Answer, Dizzy and Raven. I never played +r but Aba looks awesome so that would be my 5th.
My money is on Asuka. I'm weird on new characters. I don't particularly care who they include from lore. As long as their sick and fun to fight. But returning characters I actually like most of the hated characters, design and play wise. Johnny, Elphelt, Raven, and Testament are my favorite GG characters I've never played. As a Strive baby, I'd love to see any of them back.
I was surprised that you put izuna for your picks, i thought I was the only one who knew that guy lol. but imma go with asuka, johnny, testament, and a character that just doesn’t make sense for them to be in strive like justice or order sol or sumn
A.B.A. is the best pick for DLC at this point and here's why. Reason 1: Moroha stance High risk high reward gameplay A.B.A. is known for exists thanks to Moroha stance and the way it changes her entire gameplan from keepaway to overagressive explosive rushdown (my own experience, I might be wrong) is just... Oof! Reason 2: Design Her design is pretty cool and some tweaks can make her look damn terrifying. And while we're on it... I really, REALLY want her to be a legit terror bringer personality-wise. Have you heard "Keep In Gates"? They GOTTA expand on that. Reason 3: Potential She was a goofball back in the days and that hurts. A.B.A. can be way more than a comic relief "married" to a giant leashed key. You've given a goddamn ROBO-KY OF ALL PEOPLE a good redemption arc back in Xrd, now make my girl a freaking menace! In both personality and gameplay! And the story of course. Just 3 reasons is not much, but it's honest work. #ABAforStrive
Johnny and testament are 2 characters that I really want in Strive. I’m not worried about Testament breaking the game or anything either since he will probably be heavily reworked. Johnny’s bacchus sigh will probably turn mist finer into a guard crush or something. I like the counterhit idea mentioned in the video though. Also, since there are no meterless throw combos in strive outside of zato, Johnny’s throw will probably give him a coin or level or something.
Seeing a Sam Sho character adapted to GG would be sick, personally.even as a Yoshi main I feel Hanzo would prob be the sickest character to take that spot tho
Dude YES I'm a woman who literally bought XRD rev 2 because of pretty boy Zato. I really did not know anything about the game other than it's stylish AF (and i liked it, mind you, i needed a fighting game in my collection), so of course I want Testament.
Since I’m here early I’m just going to say one name and that’s Bridget. Idk what they’d do to him but I want him back. Bedman’s sister or That Man’s sister would also be nice but their names aren’t confirmed so Bridget best boi.
I just want Aba and Bridget bruh, they're gone for so long, and they're just so fun and interesting. The other 3 on my top 5 are Asuka, Robo Ky and the original Valentine.
vergil can't be in the first version of a game, he's contractually obligated to sell special editions. he's also mandated to be broken in every game he's in so IDK about that :/
Ok, hear me out. Zappa, all of his normals and run intact, no random summons. Centipedes give 2 orbs on hit 1 on block but unsafe, centipede super and an install super. It'll summon a ghost based on orbs for a very short time that stay even if hit and reset them, 2 for sword, 4 ghosts, 6 dog, 8 big boy but as puppets controlled by dust that won't lock out centipedes. Get in, combo to centipedes, summon, oki, on hit puppet combo for a gain on orbs on block risc crank.
Any new DLC characters will do because out of the DLC characters so far, only enjoyed playing Baiken. As for HC, he can take a long walk off a short pier, the f****r.
All I want for DLC is Sin. As long as they bring him back I’d be down for whatever other characters gets in
Word
My pick for dlc would be Aba i just wanna see her again
bro same a.b.a needs to come back i want her so bad in strive
Aba and slayer were basically playing strive before strive
A.b.a is my favorite character, I need her to come back.
@@hadriennogueira3726 aba was definitely not playing strive
Yes please all we need is A.B.A
I hope they put Johnny and Testament in to take the heat off us Nago mains
Maybe it's just me, but i would love for Order Sol to comeback. It would be great to compare basically the last version of Sol with his first in one game
He would be a very neat option, order sol and robo ky lets go
Uh i want to see young sol in 3d form
My top 5 picks would be
1. Asuka
2. Sin Kiske
3. Johnny
4. Dandy
5. Dizzy
why asuka?
Asuka came so…
I have no previous experience with Guilty Gear before Strive, but from observing the DLC and seeing the community takes over the past year, I think it's safe to stop trying to predict doom or godhood from any character based on the previous games.

Well said I can vibes with this
Lol
I'm interested in Testament and Zappa, see how the warcrime characters are changed for strive after seeing how Baiken was redesigned.
Zappa is sadly really unlikely to make another appearence,at least frm story take,cause he was actually cured of his possesion(or at least seemed like)
@@sanyashaihov2721 not just that he would be way too overpowered and too expensive for this games engine
Can't wait to see Potemkin reporting to Gabriel that he've beaten Gabriel in his victory pose XD
also i love how you never forgot izuna
even rev makes a passing mention of him but never shows him
i sorta miss him, because gg2 was the first game i ever played
for new characters I definitely want Delilah (Bedman's sister) the most. For returners I want Slayer. I wouldn't mind my girl Haehyun to return with or without the mech too.
Jam would be my primary pick. If they change Elphelt enough she'd be cool.
The manliest man of all time, Bridget needs to return, so he may assert dominance over the rest of the cast. Also, Aba.
Hope Abba will be in this pass as well!
I'm really hoping A.B.A gets added as DLC, with the increased knockback and slower movement speed she'd have way more chanced to pop blood packs, and thus chances to be way better. I also feel like strive doesn't have a proper high risk high reward character yet, and she fits that perfectly
Bro I NEED Bridget to come back
🤝🙏🏾🤜🏾
PRAYING for aba. also YES izuna and daryl would be so funny but also so hype.
Elphelt, Testament, Order Sol, Raven, Johnny, Sin, Answer and Robo Ky
the singular character i want to see in strive is a.b.a, not just because she has my favourite design, gameplay and personality, but also because of how cool her moroha mode could look in this game, let alone her goku moroha mode.
5:25 prophet
NO TESTAMENT NO INVESTAMENT
Basically me since Xrd dropped.
HE'S BACK!
My bet on the final DLC character for season 1 is Asuka (That Man). I also expect that Jam, Dizzy and Jhonny will eventually be returning, and have hope for Venom as well. As far as new characters I definitely agree with Gabriel and want at least one guest character either from Samurai Showdown or Blazblue.
Please no guest characters in guilty gear, it just ruins the cool theme of the game.
Pretty sure the final character already got datamined for season 1.
I want ABA so much. Definitely one of the coolest characters GG's ever had.
Pretty sure slayer is the next dlc for.... reasons. Reasons that have been 100% accurate thus far
Slayer is a must for me. I also want them to shenanigans a way to get Zappa repossessed so they can bring him back. I wouldn’t be mad at Gabriel, though.
I just been waiting for slayer. Playing chipp till he comes
To be honest, Johnny is basically the one character I think WILL, without a hint of a doubt, be a dlc. He's been top 1 most popular character in one of the polls ArcSys launched before the game's launch, and he's just way too loved to not be in.
I just really hope they bring him back soon. Because Johnny, man.
I definitely want Elphelt back because she's cute and Guilty Gear players deserve to be angry.
🤝
My personal top 5 would be:
Raven
ABA
Testament
Justice
Bridget
Dizzy would be an honorable mention, but I hope everyone gets in!
There's so many returning characters I want back (mostly Venom, Dizzy, Raven and Testament), but Asuka deserves to be the 5th DLC.
My top 5 are aba, Bridget, order sol, dizzy, And venom
Put A.B.A. in the game!! God damn!!
My top 3 picks are -
A.B.A
ZAPPA
BRIDGET
AND BONUS - ELPHELT
Going back and watching vids like this is soo cool after the DLC Drops.
We are now finishing up Season 3 and about to Go into season 4. Just WOW.
I would love a less cheesy version of testament.
Also gabriel. After watching the storymode of xrd, I was surprised to see he wasn't dlc in that game.
Punch-man general with astral projection fists. That was super hype.
Bridget, Testament, Venom and Dizzy.
But especially Bridget
I think dizzy is a potential idea honestly. They can do something with that reaper behind her and make it so your playing two character at once
Who’s watching this as soon as the Testament trailer dropped?
Baiken came out along with a new stage, but whenever you pick her the stage automatically sets for Colony, with means that Lap of the Kami is not her stage. That got me wondering... may the next character is Izuna? The new stage got a lot of spirits and foxes envoys, so it makes some sense, right?
I hope they add faust to strive
The thing about it is that it depends on what type of update it is. If it is a story update, then as the final character for the closing of the season (and possible story) is gonna be the character most revelent to the story-- Elphelt.
I just want Johnny and Answer because I think they’re pretty. They’d look so good in Strive’s art style.
my picks are zappa, raven, zappa, venom and zappa
I still think Zappa, Raoh, and all the spirits would so sick in the new style.
All I want now is Dizzy. Bonus for me would be Zappa.
I want ram’s dog as a playable character
I'm baffled by the fact he didn't even mention Sin, Raven or Order Sol. Still respectable and understandable opinions though.
tbh im pretty confident that the leaks are true and slayer is the last season 1 dlc character but imma be real with you.... they gotta put testament in the game one way or another. they made him a brand new model for strive (he was ABSENT in xrd, very important) with a new design (the hat) just for him to show up for a few seconds in a credits shot and hes barely even visible to begin with. hes gotta come back. if he doesnt im gonna make some heads roll.
also, baker venom would be nice for a silly fg character. attacking with bread and stuff. we need that.
My top five are : justice , Aba , slayer and venom and Johnny
Venom, Aba, Jam, Dizzy, and Obama (Vernon) for strive
I need some Testament in my Strive.
I've only played strive and rev2 so my picks would probably be Johnny, Answer, Dizzy and Raven. I never played +r but Aba looks awesome so that would be my 5th.
You know kizz is the lore nerd when he wants izuna and paradigm. Chad
Dizzy, Elphelt, Johnny, Jam and Slayer
My money is on Asuka. I'm weird on new characters. I don't particularly care who they include from lore. As long as their sick and fun to fight. But returning characters I actually like most of the hated characters, design and play wise. Johnny, Elphelt, Raven, and Testament are my favorite GG characters I've never played. As a Strive baby, I'd love to see any of them back.
i really want Bridget to be in Strive. Itd be so cool to see how his gameplay would he in strive
i just want to say , Pleas Elphelt dlc for GGST
3 characters I want is testament justice and raven
Answer main since he dropped in Xrd. I imagine that he won’t make it, but I’ll hold out hope and be satisfied if Asuka comes out.
I was surprised that you put izuna for your picks, i thought I was the only one who knew that guy lol. but imma go with asuka, johnny, testament, and a character that just doesn’t make sense for them to be in strive like justice or order sol or sumn
I just want ABA man, I loved them
Also Vernon, give us the pres
Johnny, Jam, and Answer are my picks. Especially Jam. She’s my 2nd main in Xrd Rev 2.
I want aba, Slayer or testament cus I'm always going back to acr just to play slayer lol
I want the AC characters back, ABA and testament were super fun to play
But I think it'll be Slayer or Jam, with Slayer being the more likely candidate. They'll use Johnny to sell Season pass 2.
For me I think ragna the bloodedge would be cool you could finally bring together the two universes.
I really want slayer for his play style but if its Gabriel with the same style i would be more than happy
I'm quite new to the GG series. Strive is the first game I take seriously and I love playing it with friends. Any character is new for me lol
Characters I'd go hard for would be Dizzy, Testament, Jam or Izuna. Any of those and I'm rocking a new main, even if they were low tier.
I'm praying for some miracle that'll get my main (Venom) back, but I'd be happy to see Testament or Bridget make their return.
A.B.A. is the best pick for DLC at this point and here's why.
Reason 1: Moroha stance
High risk high reward gameplay A.B.A. is known for exists thanks to Moroha stance and the way it changes her entire gameplan from keepaway to overagressive explosive rushdown (my own experience, I might be wrong) is just... Oof!
Reason 2: Design
Her design is pretty cool and some tweaks can make her look damn terrifying. And while we're on it... I really, REALLY want her to be a legit terror bringer personality-wise. Have you heard "Keep In Gates"? They GOTTA expand on that.
Reason 3: Potential
She was a goofball back in the days and that hurts. A.B.A. can be way more than a comic relief "married" to a giant leashed key. You've given a goddamn ROBO-KY OF ALL PEOPLE a good redemption arc back in Xrd, now make my girl a freaking menace! In both personality and gameplay! And the story of course.
Just 3 reasons is not much, but it's honest work.
#ABAforStrive
Johnny and testament are 2 characters that I really want in Strive. I’m not worried about Testament breaking the game or anything either since he will probably be heavily reworked.
Johnny’s bacchus sigh will probably turn mist finer into a guard crush or something. I like the counterhit idea mentioned in the video though. Also, since there are no meterless throw combos in strive outside of zato, Johnny’s throw will probably give him a coin or level or something.
Seeing a Sam Sho character adapted to GG would be sick, personally.even as a Yoshi main I feel Hanzo would prob be the sickest character to take that spot tho
I would like to see Answer in the game. May not be a popular pick but I think Answer is a pretty cool character
I'd love to see Asuka, Slayer, Gabriel, Sin/Elphelt and/or Delilah
I think it'd be sick if Ragna was the last character on the pass bringing guilty gear and blazblue together.
Brooooo that would be so sick!
Dude YES
I'm a woman who literally bought XRD rev 2 because of pretty boy Zato. I really did not know anything about the game other than it's stylish AF (and i liked it, mind you, i needed a fighting game in my collection), so of course I want Testament.
Since I’m here early I’m just going to say one name and that’s Bridget. Idk what they’d do to him but I want him back.
Bedman’s sister or That Man’s sister would also be nice but their names aren’t confirmed so Bridget best boi.
Slayer is a given for season 2/strive rev his model already exists just need to take the extra steps
Truly would love to have Johnny back,he was style the character
I'd like to see Order Sol and ABA make it to the next dlc
Honestly, at this point I'd be fine with anyone. Mostly because I know the picks I want most (A.B.A and robo ky) probably aren't gonna make it in.
Don't even think about losing hope in our girl A.B.A.! It's not over 'til It's over!
Really hoping for asuka or Bedmans sister
I just want Aba and Bridget bruh, they're gone for so long, and they're just so fun and interesting.
The other 3 on my top 5 are Asuka, Robo Ky and the original Valentine.
As a pot main I wouldn't mind never seeing testament again however I'll take it if I can have raven
My wishlist is :
Izuna
Testament
And if we have guest I want :
Ragna
Yoshitora
As a guest character I hope more for Hanzo but yoshi would be cool
We need that lantern carrying dude Sol encountered in story mode
I want to play as the president with secret service assists
as long as it ain't Testament or Elphelt I'm down for anyone
vergil can't be in the first version of a game, he's contractually obligated to sell special editions.
he's also mandated to be broken in every game he's in so IDK about that :/
add the ghost guy in plus R then like everyone missing from rev2 duh
Ok, hear me out. Zappa, all of his normals and run intact, no random summons. Centipedes give 2 orbs on hit 1 on block but unsafe, centipede super and an install super. It'll summon a ghost based on orbs for a very short time that stay even if hit and reset them, 2 for sword, 4 ghosts, 6 dog, 8 big boy but as puppets controlled by dust that won't lock out centipedes. Get in, combo to centipedes, summon, oki, on hit puppet combo for a gain on orbs on block risc crank.
Elphelt needs some love too
Calling it now the next six characters are asuka, slayer, gabriel, jam, Delilah and Johnny
We need our boy Sin back in Strive.
Pretty sure it was leaked awhile the last one would be That Man, or Asuka
Testament gone full-on goth with a spike choker & black straight jacket-like costume
Black lipstick ... skull rings ...
I dunno who I THINK is getting in but I want Jam
My man really thought they confirmed the last character to be a new one
oh yeah it would be so sick to have Asuka or Gabriel in strive
i just got to the end of the video and heard about vergil and yoshitora in strive xD
Any new DLC characters will do because out of the DLC characters so far, only enjoyed playing Baiken. As for HC, he can take a long walk off a short pier, the f****r.
I just want venom or aba I think I’d legit cry if one of them were to be announced
We need more zoners, there only two in the game now.
