Honestly, the confusing aspect of putting Lucy in Strive is exactly why I love it. Like, if it was Ragna or some other BlazBlue character, it'd be cool for sure, but not really surprising at all. It'd feel like they were just doing the the safest, simplest option available. With Lucy, it's a far more unique option. Basically no one expected any Cyberpunk character in the game, and if they did, it'd be a really big character like Rebecca or Smasher. Lucy is a completely left field choice, and that's kinda awesome to me. It feels like Daisuke might be a really big fan of Lucy and went "yeah, I really want her to be in the game", and I will always prefer that to an obvious marketing thing or just doing exactly what the fans ask for. I'm really interested to see how they make her work in the Guilty Gear world... assuming they actually try to make her fit in instead of just of doing the boring option of "oh, she traveled from another universe"

[@roar104]

trying to fit her into the lore would be a huge mistake, so it'll probably happen

@@savagehyphen01 "Sol clone" is a bit of an exaggeration. The simplest answer is that people want BB x GG.

[@jasonrobinson401]

​@@savagehyphen01Ragna's pretty different outside of the similar move sets. He's got HP like chip, does big damage, and is way faster and more mobile than Sol, a fast glass Canon, as apposed to Sol's heavy artillery. People have also been clamoring for guilty gear vs blaze Blue since the latter released, and we were told "maybe once both protagonists story's are finished", which they now are.

[@raiden8604]

@savagehyphen01 there's more to it than people just wanting GG x BB. He seemed the most obvious crossover since Arcsys owns both properties. I'm not saying Ragna is necessarily the 'best' crossover character, but until now he seemed like he'd be the most likely, being the protagonist of Arcsys' other major first party franchise.

[@midnight-skye4666]

My personal theory is they wanted a character from a Studio Trigger show and CDPR were the IP holders that they made the deal with. Plus, it's probably easier to collaborate with another game company than a different industry. Not that it's impossible, mind you, Negan in tekken, etc. But hey, that's just a theory.

@@CantHandleThis6 yeah I think it’s more keeping it cohesive despite there being a guest character, since I know a lot of people care about that.

My hot take for Guest Characters is this: If you could’ve expected a guest, like Ragna, it’s boring. Ragna himself has nothing to do with why I didn’t want him, I just didn’t want him cos it was so easy to predict he’d be in and so easy to predict how he’d play. I have no expectations for Lucy, just a bunch of fan theories for how she could work and that’s fun unlike Ragna where I have a whole series of Arcsys produced games to predict how he’d play down to the normals

Zato buffs were needed. Imagine that DP RRC/White Wild Assault situation, you just lose your turn cuz yer opponent spent resources, no counterplay. Now imagine burst did this, or YRC, they could do it in disadvantage, even if you BAITED those options it still worked. That was Zato, just burst, just YRC, it's how you completely shut him down. No counterplay, he loses Eddie for up to 10 seconds. I still genuinely think that he shouldn't even lose eddie if he blocks burst, and I hope they give him that, it's so lame out playing your opponent and you still go to a near neutral situation at best over it.

The Lucy thing is probably a deal that was made a while ago when cyberpunk was more relevant and prominent in media. And now we see the results of such deal, when the dust has already settled and edgerunner is no longer really a big thing anymore (the show quality is not in question, just its time in the spotlight has passed). The deal was probably made even before the show aired, because if we go by popularity, Rebecca would have gotten her place if the companies were to make the thing now. Comparing to another game collab handled by arcsis, the 2B in granblue was a better move, because she's already proven to be a staying power in the gaming landscape and peoples' minds, so she'll always be (somewhat) relevant and good publicity. I wouldn't say the same for Lucy.

My interpretation of Guilty Gears lore is the world is an instance running on a server (the backyard) so I hope they incorporate Lucy in the lore somehow and maybe even have some "hacking reality" kind of moves.

arc sys better be working on giving Baiken a complete rework with how mistreated she is.

[@charleyhaeberle6113]

I think that unika might be another child of aria and sol, like dizzy and since dizzy got the zoned genes from justice, unika will get the rush down genes from sol

[@unhingedresolve512]

Lucy before Ragna is NASTY work.

[@gunknightben1829]

I feel like Ragna is too similar too Sol to add as DLC. I feel like a better pick from BlazeBlue would be Hakumen

[@TacDonut]

Lucy is such an interesting dlc character! Can’t wait to see how she plays!

[@gamefreak3604]

Honestly I’m pretty fine with everything they did for this patch BUT the fact that they buffed elphelt for some reason I don’t know why but I just don’t have a good history with The way people play the character

[@Kevin-iu8hl]

I would wager the reason for Lucy from Edge Runners is coming to GG because Studio Trigger made the anime and they are also working on the GG anime that got revealed at AX. Think they also worked together previously on the Kill la Kill IF game.

[@thorium9]

My guess as to why the guest character is Lucy, is that the studio doing the GG anime is apart of the same larger company as studio trigger

[@HealyHQ]

New Dizzy looks fuckin' beautiful, mate. I'm in love.

I imagine if the 3v3 mode has competitive legs, then FGC events that have the 3v3 mode will have stations set aside for it all connected up to the venues Broadband network and we'll pseudo-LAN party it

[@AtomicRiftYT]

Unika is either going to play like Justice, or like Order Sol, and there is no other options

[@Beans-do6wc]

insane how much better dizzy looks when she isnt dressed like the cougar on the street corner

I like how you wall broke with wild assault at 10:17 even though I'm sure you realized that doesn't work anymore once you did it

[@BadPabda]

as someone who only just got into the game with strive and then fell off, the announcement of Lucy from Edgerunners got me buying the DLC and starting to play again.

[@lunareclipse1882]

I think lucy might have been transported through a portal or something of the sort

[@theoverlander4579]

I mean, Asuka and Lucy are both on the moon, in their respective universes.

@@kylenkintigh5186 yeah for sure XD

[@sentane8031]

I hope he explanation is that she's somehow on the moon for too long, Asuka finds her, realizes that she's got tech that is way more advanced than what the great technological catastrophe would've allowed and now he's just bringing her along as a study. also 2B should be in strive next, we need more advanced tech characters so we get more insight on the great technological catastrophe. That could even be why these characters are in Strive. Lucy could've gotten stranded on the moon after being brought into guilt gear, and had to rescued by Asuka.

Why is October the month where every company and every person suddenly locks in

[@burrito9327]

There are two sides on the Unika theory: 1) She's justice 2) She has a dragon install

[@hunterbeaune7626]

I think Lucy is included bc Studio Trigger (animators for Edgerunners) and Sanzigen Inc. (animators for the GG anime) are owned by the same parent company (Ultra Super Pictures) and maybe it was a deal between them and Arcsys or something

[@alazarielanderson5367]

Dizzy looks so cuuuute and elegant with her hair all done up 😊 cant wait to hate playing against her

I think watching the fucking wires in Lucys moves is gonna be sick af

[@minedark597]

Wait... I thought this was a meme... We got Lucy from edgerunners before Robo-Ky... Damn

[@Codieum]

13:40 there will be a spinoff of cyberpunk edge runners, idk what came first tho the guest or the vote for the spinoff

[@Drqwe595]

So the why for Lucy being added is most likely due to the fact that a new cyberpunk game is in the works, 2077 will not be getting any dlcs because they want to focus on their next cyberpunk game (from what i heard) so this is most likely going to be her release around when they start teasing the game or announce it

[@springfaux6991]

My Guess why Lucy is in strive is that the same studio who made edgerunners is going to work on the strive anime so this is a sorta test to see how they handle the strive system and style

[@DeertickDaniel]

Reversal options should never give a knockdown

Lucy is cool but david would have been awesome with a sandevistan

hilarious and great video!
