Dude, i was getting teary eyed but i didnt get why, the ost sounds fire asf and the character looks very interesting.. After watching a couple more times i realised that i unconciously realised that the brother passed away, and thats why it felt sad (I never played the game so idk the lore) the character tells you that sad story without you having to know jack sht

[@zachataxxii7126]

@@123deserted Strive's soundtrack is so good at getting the characters across without needing to know any of them lol Long story short, the real Bedman and his sister, Delilah, are basically reality warpers who had to be kept in a constant state of sleep because their bodies could not handle how fast their brains were moving. Unfortunately, Bedman died last game, but before he did, he weakened Delilah's power enough that, while still overwhelmed by her powers, she can now live a relatively normal life. Not only that, but Bedman's will still seems to be affecting his bed, causing it to fight for Delilah so that she doesn't need to risk using her powers (which, at one point, almost turned the world into a hellscape)

Nice to see that bed be controlled by someone who's actually awake.

Jokes on you, bed is just protecting her, it is now controlled by someone who is DEAD

Yeaaaa she does not look in control of the situation at all lol

The only thing scarier than a man with nothing to lose is a man with only one thing left to protect.

[@AzrielArcade]

Dude, I don’t even mind having to wait for my favorite characters or Asuka. This is an outright METAL concept. Even death can’t…exactly stop that kid from protecting his sis. On that note, good to see that death is still permanent in GG, unless your Zato & Eddie. They get a sundae the next go around. XP

[@vincentpey3929]

I love how reckless and furious Bedmans attacks are you can really see how he has changed, now nothing matters to him except protection Delilah. His animations where impactfull before but there was thought behind them, they where precise and calculated. Now its just mindless brutal savagery... he has become some sort of mad specter, wich is imo a really good drection to take the charakter in.

[@petrarcheleven8816]

Honestly even after he got killed off in Xrd, Bedman was too interesting of a character to NOT come back in Strive. Also Delilah's smile is precious. EDIT: WAIT WHEN THE FUCK WAS ASUKA CONFIRMED? HOLY SHIT-

Note: Bedman physical body was destroyed in Xrd (previous game) and now his soul and will inhabits the bed. He just wants to protect his sister. Which is why the question mark is there when he is called “Bedman?”

Because the "Man" is in the "Bed", but people still wonders if it's the same Man

[@echo3s191]

They did a little teaser at the end on the livestream that they left out of this video with Asuka's book

[@InfernalEnby]

I just noticed a little something about Bedman? here. The bed itself is effectively dreaming, it's not fully conscious. according to some of the information present on sites such as the official website and the wiki, at the end of each day their memories get reset like when you can't recall a dream you just had, they struggle to see things from other's perspectives and therefore cannot imagine a world beyond their dream as they are unaware of worlds beyond their current state, and they are incapable of complex communication and are unable to fully express themselves to others. The bed itself is now experiencing something very similar to a dream, which is a fun little connection to Bedman who was always in a dream himself, as well as it gives Delilah an interesting role. She in a sense has to take care of her own protector as they are not fully awake so to speak, so she has to be the one to guide them and look out for their wellbeing as they try to give their life to protect her

[@TeQxktcg]

Damn, I love his creepy eye! I got strong Emil vibes from the bed, especially when it shielded her. Decoupling Delilah and the bed really w
as a good idea, it allows ArcSys to flaunt both design whilst adding a lot of personality to the overall character. I've never been a Bedman player myself but I look forward to seeing them in motion.

[@LottieThottie]

Can’t wait to see her interactions with Baiken.

[@techery3468]

The expressions on her are really cool, like it really looks straight out of a 2d anime!

[@Master_Matoya]

"Fighting heedless of its own destruction" Bedman was holding back the Rushdown Gorilla that was Bed

The implications of bed being a creature powered only by bedman's will to protect his sister is cool and all, but come on, it's theme fucking slaps

Definitely wasn't expecting this but I'll take it, the song sounds amazing too

How convenient, I was just thinking about how Bedman would look and play in Strive. I wasn't expecting this, but I like it.

[@mrksimka1159]

When I get this in my recommendation I was utterly confused "isn't he dead?" Then I watched the trailer and wow what a great way to keep a playable character without outright resurrection. Also this dynamic reminds me of Ferra/Thorr only if Ferra was completely non fighter.

[@thomaspalazzolo5902]

To quote Captain Amazing and his agent from Mystey Men: "What about Bedman?" "Bedman is Bed."

[@SmotheryAxe1414]

I was wondering how they would make bedman work after XRD. They didn't disappoint.

[@weepingj]

So bedman is pretty much like celica and minerva from blazblue where minerva kinda carries and protects celica while fighting

[@MokoES]

though celica always stays glued to Minerva. Delilah here goes walking around randomly while other times she is carried by Bed. Who knows if there might be more to it.

[@MetaKnuxXbeats]

I see it more like a mix between Celica and Minerva and Carl and Ada but that last part is for lore reasons where the young sibling is with a mechanical weapon that is most likely being possessed by the older sibling.

[@Keyguin]

I had to rewatch the trailer to realize you’re controlling the actual bed this time. That is dope as fuck. Arcsys really makes the most interesting characters 😂

OH MY GOD IT'S BEDMA'AM

[@TsunogaiDanshaku]

One detail that I noticed while watching this trailer for the umpteenth time - in addition to being so worn-down and broken, the design of the bed's crown has changed. Before it resembled the crown used to represent the king playing piece in chess, but now it looks a lot more like the crown used for the queen piece instead. It could be symbolic, or it could just be a visual Easter egg.

[@InfernalEnby]

that's a really cool detail I never would have noticed

[@Nomans_Nomen]

My guess would be they changed it to a queenly design so it would match Delilah. Could mean that the people saying she’s projecting her brothers will into the bed with her own powers, have some evidence to go with it now. Might be a clue that it’s more her creation than her brother’s.

[@screamingcactus1753]

@@Nomans_Nomen The way I read it, the king is the most important piece on the board, while the queen is its strongest protector. The bed's crown changing to that of a queen represents it taking up the roll of a guardian for Delilah, the most important person in the world to Bedman.

[@Aeirion]

They actually did it. They added Bed into the game, and I could not be any happier.

[@DouglasStewart99]

Welp Delilah's looking pretty good. I love how we have Bedman & Bedman with a question mark in Guilty Gear now.
