Queen Dizzy makes her Royal Debut! - Guilty Gear Strive Trailer Breakdown

[@rooflemonger]

Queen Dizzy got her trailer and they ain't calling her Queen for nothing! Lots of fun gameplay here, and also the fact(as talked about later in the vid) she seems to be fully mature and in control of Necro & Undine is pretty cool character growth. She doesn't seem as fully re-invented as some other classic characters, but there's certainly some new stuff like BORROWING FROM JUSTICE'S MOVESET. Gonna be some fun times

[@matmil5]

She had Michael's Sword in Accent Core, specifically her EX verison!

[@pikachuattack542]

I know you aren't super into Granblue but I was wondering if you'd cover Vikala at some point? She comes out like... tomorrow or the day after.

[@elijah0208]

I am so excited for this character definitely one of my favs. At first i was like where r her wings n then i was like oh yes full glowing butterfly mode, so cool! I hope they'll bring back the arrow super move from isuka n put their own spin on it. PS its interesting that that younger version of her looked like adult entertainment worker with very little clothing in the vein of ino, but now more grown up version is basically fully clothed, i guess it is maturity

[@rooflemonger]

@@pikachuattack542 honestly I basically fell completely off the granblue train. I don't know anything about that character other than a few twitter clips ive seen. Ive been playing Metaphor so any "side time" I normally have to get caught up on stuff is used up by that right now lol

[@pikachuattack542]

@@rooflemonger awww

[@Tribe_delontae]

Roofle I’m surprised you didn’t point it out but when the ice is on the floor, dizzy has more forward momentum when she does moves. Check the clip again before the throw, she slid the whole team doing that move while he was in blockstun! Keep fighting the good fight 🫡

[@rooflemonger]

oh I suppose! I just thought it was a regular run and sorta left it at that, makes sense

[@olympique3256]

Interesting, I'm guessing that this will allow extra combo opportunities

The character developemt in her super gave me chills, can't wait to learn more in Arcade mode!!

I love the character development of basically every returning character in Strive.

[@oklimbo]

Queen Dizzy showing her new confidence with the super cinematic is incredibly sick.

[@Lonely_Gamer85]

The design and animation quality of Strive always blew me away.

[@YouGuessIGuess]

While Mortal Kombat has rebooted their series so many times their narrative has lost all meaning, Guilty Gear actually has the guts to let their characters grow over time and stick to those changes. People talk about how story doesn't matter in fighting games, but when the story is as present and tied to the gameplay as it is with Dizzy, it's very much relevant. She went from being a boss character everyone was out to kill, to a secret wife and mother, to a queen who finally embraces her powers. Ya love to see it.

[@Asintar]

I think they're losing their colour because she's stopped rejecting them, they're her too, and they're finally joining her

[@albotony4716]

They let the dbfz update people work on this patch

[@rooflemonger]

the DBFZ update people are not arcsys, the reason why DBFZ has been so awful lately is cause bandai namco took over everything is my understanding.

[@zachstarattack7320]

yup

[@kevfrazier1564]

Good

[@pikachuattack542]

​@@rooflemonger "awful" is definitely a way to put it. The changes as someone who likes the game and can view it in a competitive light, I can see the changes to Sparking and to each character to be pretty cool and fun, and gives every character some extra viability, while also being very insane and doing things Arcsys probably wouldn't. And let's be honest, it's been over 6 years since DBFZ released, I think it's absolutely fine for patches to go nuts.

[@mr.sol6666]

Armor pot buster? You convinced me to play again.

[@httohot]

I had the same idea only to find that I was the only person online......

[@rooflemonger]

Didn't go over every single change shown in the little balance preview cause well, this is the Dizzy video lol. If i did then it would be like 80% of the vid and not the dizzy vid anymore. When the time comes ill do the full breakdown no worries, should be interesting.

[@TheRealCodeBlack]

Command grabs with super armor are so evil, I love it.

[@mas8705]

I am curious if her pals being not as colorful as they were is a sign that maybe she has gained some control over them. That she can actually do something for herself as opposed to be the one that has to watch the fights play out in brutal fashion. Hell, the fact she is joining them in the attack as opposed to tackling one of her wings to stop them from nuking the opponent is pretty significant.

[@RavenUwU605]

Dizzy has matured, now she has the spotlight. Their designs were changed to reflect that, now they compliment Dizzy’s design. Dizzy is strong enough to not need them to protect her anymore so instead of bickering while defending her and going overboard Dizzy is setting the pace and they help her as she needs. During the OD especially, she started the attack and Necro and Undine joined in

[@SomeRandomDude821]

She's no longer getting beat up by her wings, so I certainly agree she's gained control. Necro isn't literally grabbing her tail and shoving her in the dirt when he sweeps (I'm assuming that normal after Bridget unfroze is sweep)

[@artemi7]

You're reading Gamma Ray somewhat wrong, actually. She's not joining her wings at all, it's the other way around! Look closely, she starts the beam herself, panics because it starts to slip from her control, Undine sweeps her hand across to help calm her down and join in, then Necro pops up and *actually waits for her to nod at him* before he joins in himself. Our girl is growing up! She's got control!

[@Butterfreeftvr]

Dizzy looks amazing she got Michael Sword back, it's a lot to digest I'm still rewatching the trailer. Hopefully we get a character guide soon. Overall, I'm happy to have Dizzy back, favorite character in guilty gear. Great video Rooflemonger

[@codyjames4814]

Dizzy is always cool. I was just so overwhelmed to learn here

[@rookbranwen8047]

I am a +R Dizzy player who has been waiting for this character from day one. I have already watched the trailer a couple times trying to learn whatever I can. Looking at her normals the big axe swing is clearly Xrd 2H, the Narwhal is probably Xrd 6H overhead, the close range icicle hit is likely c.5S and the multi hitting move that freezes is probably +R f.5S/Xrd 4S. Notably we didn't see her go airborne outside of her Dust combo, which is weird since having a double airdash is one of her defining traits in older games. If they removed her traditional air mobility I expect the replacement has something to do with her wings, or it could be something like what Gio has with the tension meter. Another factor of her strength in older games is that fish takes the hit for you if you are close to it, which they also didn't show, though I assume that is still intact. Being able to freeze people and go into a restand mixup/setup is almost always super strong, so I am looking forwards to that. On the other hand sword is cool, but they only showed it as a combo ender, which makes me wonder how useful it will actually be, because if it only works as a combo ender then ending with a move that freezes is probably better. At least being able to freeze people means Gamma Ray may finally be useful in a real match and not just a gimmick that costs all your meter. Lastly we can't tell if dagger has homing properties from this trailer since she only uses it at close range.

[@cashordeals3672]

A confident dizzy?!😭 I would rather fight goku black

[@despicableree58]

1:16 We used to quick Roman cancel Hammerfall into Potbuster for this. We’re eating 3 Michelin stars of glue tonight lads.

[@arrownoir]

She’s definitely a head turner.

[@OhNoTheFace]

I hope all her moves still have the funny names

[@hoovybird4167]

you forgot to mention this but the ice floor seems to also reduce friction for both characters as you can see dizzy sliding in for her attacks kinda!

[@Draconis_Eltanin]

That seems very interesting indeed

[@intermet2637]

THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS SO PEAK!!!

[@RichardLester]

I used to have a saying back in Xrd when I was only a minor GG fan: No Dizzy No Deal. I tried that with Strive but the consistent talk about it online drew me to it and thus I embraced Sol Badguy as my main and Strive became the fighting game alongside Smash Ultimate FP 2 (Pyra/Mythra specifically) that kicked off my true dedication to fighting games that hasn't stopped since 2021. Now that Dizzy is here its time to give Strive more attention cause this rework has got me PUMPED to play again

[@milagrosgutierrezmartin9506]

The moment I saw the trailers, I started camping your channel waiting for this!

maybe 2026 cause the full roster is up.

yess and Answer

[@woon5262]

The ice pillar seems to make the stage slippery, at 6:00 you can see she starts up her fire move but stays in motion for a bit.

[@mcbill7352]

Another detail is the ice left by the pillar special allows characters to slide on it, which lets dizzy start up her attacks before getting to the frozen opponent in the trailer

[@jpVari]

It's hard to imagine playing this again for me, but dizzy is so appealing and I already wanted to play venom. So... Maybe. Maybe.

[@caseyogden9268]

i wasnt interested in dizzy until i saw how incredible her animations were and now im sold 😢

[@phdbot4483]

Okay, Queen Dizzy's cool, but honestly the armored Pot Buster is what stood out to me the most from the GGST showcase! XD

[@terryliliana]

Everyone who complains about her now having actual clothing will be sent to Concord.

[@flioink]

I knew Arcsys would re-introduce more and more wild stuff as time goes - and here we are. Also in terms of visuals GG is just in another league - not that the other offerings look bad or anything but just the amount of effort put in each character appearance is insane.

[@VileLasagna]

Wait... they're giving ARMOR to Potemkin Buster?!?! This can't be right, god would not allow me to get away with this, I don't even play Clark or Dino. Anyway, mankind knew that they could not change society, so they DID reflect on themselves and became the beasts

[@mythcat1273]

My favorite thing about the super that's shown is that she's about to lose control of the attack, and braces for impact, then necro and undine come out to help her control it and protect her, and she regains her confidence and puts all her power behind it. It's so awesome

[@spiralgamer333]

Strive got a 50% discount on Steam right now, is it worth buying? Basically been a Street Fighter and Smash main for years and never really tried any other fighting game franchises, but I'm willing to change that. I don't play that much online, so I don't really mind that I'm too late to the party when it comes to the online meta. Is it worth it for 20 bucks? How is the singleplayer content in this game?

[@lukejones7164]

Who are your mains in SF and Smash?

[@braunstein5645]

@@lukejones7164 SF (6) - Jamie, Ryu, sometimes Lily Smash - Sephiroth, Marth (though I don't mind playing any other swordie), Luigi

[@lorenzolombardi3369]

The single player content is serviceable, other then arcade and survival mode the "only" other thing you get are the mission which are fantastic, probably the best tutorial out there and some of them are really challenging and dive into very deep mechanics (Kara cancels and Roman cancel cancel). Oh and story mode which are just cutscene but really cool. Online play is very good, net code is very consistent and the tower sistem although a bit strange and frustrating if you want to reach celestial, really allows you to match against people of your level. (Also the discord has many tournaments but that's outside the game.) For the gameplay by itself, it's different from other gulty gears (every "big" guilty gear is different from each other) and in this one we have very cool combination of street fighter mixed with core of guilty gear (bursts, roman cancels, gatling combinations, tension ecc). The game is fast and very frenetic, even zoner get in to throw hands. Also, like other anime fgs, the character have some type of very specific gimmicks like bars or item throws or statuses, Immagine something like Jamie drinks but much more explored. There are simple ones like KY and testament (KY is pretty much the ryu/ken of gg), nago, sin and Gold Lewis for example are a bit more complicated... And then you have characters like bedman and especially Asuka that play on another plane of existence (Asuka being the most unique characters ever, basically play mtg). Also music and visual are 10/10,no debate. Overall, I'd say I'm very satisfied with strive and I think you will find yourself a kind of second home coming from street fighter. Meaby the only problem is the kind of lack single player content.
