That bit where Ky and Nago rush each other while transforming only to make a beeline for I-no instead was cool as heck.

[@avroertz3165]

And also kind of a nice reference to the story mode (spoilers in case someone cares): Nago never fights Ky, both of them attacking an all powerful I-no happens at the very end in an attempt to let Sol charge the outrage and shoot at I-no's weakpoint, which it works, and also in this clip, when the camera zooms on I-no, it quicly changes to black and white, the same thing that happens when she dies by the outrage, and the same thing that she was trying to avoid since her first appearence, a boring, black and white future

[@BryonYoungblood]

@@avroertz3165 It also makes me think to the bit with Jack O' and Aria, with how Aria is basically "pushing" Jack O' to help Sol and to live life how she wants to, since Jack O' is somewhat hesitant because she is based on Aria's appearance.

[@buildsparkling8911]

@@BryonYoungblood It's really heartwarming as jack'o doesn't see herself as a part of aria anymore but as her own person. Like sol said, he never called her aria. Because he accepts jack'o as being her own person.

[@patrickhoneyman9019]

Its because I-no doesn't respect hardly anyone but she's on amicable terms with Axl. Its probably because they're in the same boat of not belonging in the world they're in. In any case its nice to see I-no has a drinking buddy Lol.

[@ParagonFury]

There are a few characters pretty much guaranteed that are DLC at this point; Elphelt (from the figure in the reveal, devs saying it was her or Ram for base game), Aria/Jack-O (fully modelled in-game, story important), Dizzy (mentioned in one of the dev talks, foreshadowed in the reveal) among them.

[@HiImDaisy]

@@ParagonFury I assumed based on what little bit I know of the story for Elphelt to be one of the DLC characters. Since Rams mission is to save her and the trailer advertised this as “the conclusion to their fates.” Which made me assume most storylines would conclude this game.

[@masterxl97]

I always love how much production value they put into Daisuke's albums. Most record companies are too cheap to spring for entire in-depth fighting games to promote them.

[@luizhenrique4967]

I think the thing that impresses me the most about their animation here and elsewhere in the game is the sheer force of the emotions they're able to convey via facial expression. Like, seeing Ky in the forest and smiling at possibly his wife offscreen, and you're seeing a flow of exultation and joy and love play across his face, it's so evocative and powerful to me. Beautiful work.

Soo.. theres our 4 DLC characters. That Man/Asuka finally, Bedman with a MF glock, burger guy who apparently stole Baikens arm, probably Dizzy, and perhaps even Aria/Jacko

[@android19willpwn]

That Man, Gunman, Large Lad, and Aria are all pretty much no-brainers based on what we're seeing here.

[@rainer9931]

@@android19willpwn I feel like they're too detailed and have too much emphasis to NOT eventually be playable

[@JackgarPrime]

Chaos (Bedman with a Gun, aka Gunman) seems guaranteed. He's clearly one of the main villains of the story, no way we don't get him ASAP. Aria will probably be the second character (They've said the first character is a new one, and the second is a returning, and I'm counting Aria as Jack-O) in August.

[@rainer9931]

@@JackgarPrime to be specific, they said this will be the characters first playable appearance. That means it could be someone like That Man, especially since he has a model now, but I would bank on him being one of the later characters. So it doesnt necessarily have to be the characters first appearance. But yeah I want Happy alot he seems cool

[@Sorrelhas]

So That Man, Coronel Sanders and that Hobgoblin are pretty much confirmed as DLC, yeah?

You can already tell who the DLC characters are gonna be from this intro

[@Nouxatar]

Yep. Jack-O', Happy Chaos, and Goldlewis are shoo-ins, and Asuka (That Man) is pretty damn likely too. Gabriel is also a possibility, but they've shown him off a bunch without actually putting him in the game for a while, so he might not happen.

I've loved this series for 15 years, ever since discovering it in my local arcade as a teenager. I knew Guilty Gear stood alone from the pack, there was no other series like it. Maybe there never will be again. I don't know if Strive will really be the game we all want the last Guilty Gear to be, but I'm here for it. One more roar, let's rock.

[@vovabars1234]

Johnny has to be in the game,he is one of the most requested characters

[@StriderZessei]

The livestream said the 1st dlc character would be new (I'm guessing it's Happy Chaos) and then the 2nd would be a returning character. Hope we'll get Johnny and Baiken!

[@MessatsuGoshoryu02]

The first character is Happy Chaos 100%, the other four are all returning apparently. If we go by the most requested they would be Bridget (number 1 in Japan), Baiken (number 1 literally in the rest of the world), Johnny (number 2 worldwide) and Dizzy (number 3 worldwide). They are not necessarily picking the most popular ones, but there's a good chance these are gonna be added sooner or later

[@Neoxon619]

@@MessatsuGoshoryu02 Their wording was at least one character is new, if I recall.

[@aRBy125]

@@MessatsuGoshoryu02 One of them is going to be Jack-O/Aria. You don't give her a full model and seemingly heavy importance in the Story Mode and not use it. I'd be shocked if she's not in the initial batch.

Apparently, the Story Mode is gonna be about four to five hours long, and it's just straight-up cutscenes. Which I'm okay with. Shoehorning fights (that we as players control) into Story Modes messes with the narrative.
