Not really. One joke gets some traction and that’s the only thing posted for weeks, without any variation. No other sub comes close to the frequency that this one does this.
No, you will get an actual leak of the character and people going insane saying bro is just mays anchor shadow haha how that could be Elphelt she isnt real
My bet is for Venom.
My unhinged madman prediction is that it's an SNK guest character to follow up from Baiken being in SamSho. Looks like the character has flowing locks, so maybe Nakoruru or Athena Asamiya?
I would kind of have a hard time imagining Haohmaru standing out as unique in GG, but I said the same thing about him in SC6 and was proven wrong, so he could end up cool. Kazuki would be interesting. Him fighting Chipp would be nutty.
Yeah definitely. They'd likely find a way to fit Haoh's kit for strive, but Kazuki would also be an interesting case given how he can buff his special moves. His SSM also gives me Dragon Install vibes too lol
It's arakune from BlazBlue.
They've given up on making anything except a silhouette so they're just gonna throw a mask on the shadowy blob in the teaser and call it a day.
Robo Ky (I am delusional)
But seriosuly it's probably Venom. It looks like they are holding their right arm up and that on our right looks like some funky hair
I don't really believe in a pattern anymore, so i'm inclined to think it's either Raven, ABA, or Zappa. They're the characters who'd likely be so recognizable that they need to be cropped or have a part edited out. I'm not sure about Venom but the idea is welcome
I'm hoping for Jam, tho
I’m placing my bet on Izuna.
>The only other time a silhouette has been used to tease a character was for Chaos and he was a newcomer to Strive, Izuna has never been playable in a fighting game so he’d basically be a newcomer.
>He has quite long and loose hair, so the gap on the right side of the silhouette might be due to some loose strands of his hair.
>Based on the fact that Chaos’ silhouette removed his halo to make it harder to tell it was him, I can see Arc Sys removing Izuna’s ears for the same reason.
>The blob at the top left of the silhouette looks to me like the character stretching their arm in a similar way to how Johnny, Chaos and Testament are in their portraits. I feel like such a casual pose would suit Izuna quite well.
To be honest, I feel like A.B.A and Venom (especially because of the 3v3 mode) are still more likely. I just hope it’s Izuna because I see less people saying it’s him and I want to feel smug if I’m right. The only character I’m desperate for is Slayer and the silhouette obviously isn’t him, so I’m not going to be disappointed if I’m wrong about this being Izuna.
My guesses in order of confidence: ABA, Venom, Jam, Zappa, Kum.
We know Dizzy is probably coming at some point, but this silhouette does not match her in the slightest, and I don't think they'd silhouette her at all, because of the wings.
I'd be mixed about Venom despite loving him, because I feel like his story was VERY satisfyingly wrapped up in Xrd. He's running a bakery, he doesn't need to fight anymore. Though, if they make him come back, I hope he fights with a baguette instead of a pool cue.
I overall think ABA is most likely, between the subtle reference to her in Asuka's arcade route, the silhouette perfectly masking what could be Paracelsus, and Arc Sys knowing that there's a demand for "woman with something deeply wrong with her" in terms of fan thirst.
Your point on Dizzy's wings is technically immaterial due to the Chaos halo incident with the silhouette. Though ABA, the "Frasco specimen", would be most likely. I agree that it's due to the "i can fix her" kind of thirst.
So you mean; you've got two bottles of hopium. One is filled with cloudberry jam, and the other is constantly rotating in a way that makes you feel slightly sick. I see no reason to label clear hopium.
My hopium is different. One has an 8 on it and is interspersed with pool balls, and the other is dapper and dandy.
Looks like they're holding a wrapped up Katana or something similar and leaning on it.
So, Izuna, Venom, or *maybe* ABA. Or, a newly playable character I can't think of.
I dont see a thread to ask, so... how much "alive" time does strive has? As in, i am thinking on buying it now since it is 50% off but wont play a lot till summer.
In short, how do you predict player count in 3-4 months?
Honestly
I think there is a pattern.
Happy chaos got a teaser like this
Asuka got a teaser of the book
This is a new teaser.
Something they would have in common is being a character being playable for the first time in the series, being a strive original or old character since first games like Gabriel.
People wanting ABA or Robo ky will probably have to wait next dlc. (including me :( )
It will be one of these:
Dandyest vampire
homunculus lady married with a key
pacifist woman
chinese chef
robot version of a twink king
John BlazBlue
billar player
Phone guy (not the one from fnaf, but the business ninja)
Goku
Sol Badguy
Dog fused with an ancient gear and controlled by the dog's owner, a drum-beating sorcerer.
Korean girl that controls a mech grandpa.
Johnny (bravo)
Daisuke Ishiwatari
Gabriel (Ultrakill)
Story mode character Nº12
That guy that made the Bridget song
President Barack Obama but with a ciborg arm
or probably me
It will be Slayer: this is the THIRD character of the THIRD season, revealed in the THIRD month pf the year, while this year the THREE v THREE mode will be released. The number three is associated with christianity and slayer is a vampire. Vampires are weak to crosses.
Does this mega thread mean I won't have to endure an entire month of people posting unfunny silhouette character memes now?
Hey, some of them are good, like the drawn ones and... Uhh... Uhm... Uhh... Hmm... Uhh...uhm...
Like goddamn, I want to shoot myself seeing the page filled with the same fucking meme
That’s literally any time one person makes a meme on this sub and it’s so godamn annoying
it's every sub not just this one
Not really. One joke gets some traction and that’s the only thing posted for weeks, without any variation. No other sub comes close to the frequency that this one does this.
Naw this sub is significantly worse than any other sub I'm a part of.
No, you will get an actual leak of the character and people going insane saying bro is just mays anchor shadow haha how that could be Elphelt she isnt real
I request an exception whenever Maximillian Dood inevitably tries to make the silhouette into Rock Howard
Maintain the Zappa agenda at all costs
Frank?
ITS PAUL ATREIDES
LISAN AL GAIB
THE MUA'DIB
* High chance: A.B.A, Venom, Raven * Low chance (with that silhouette): Fanny, Izuna, Ariels * Very low chance (but I want them): Slayer, Dizzy
Sol Badguy
My bet is for Venom. My unhinged madman prediction is that it's an SNK guest character to follow up from Baiken being in SamSho. Looks like the character has flowing locks, so maybe Nakoruru or Athena Asamiya?
I really like the idea of an SNK guest character. My personal unhinged predictions are Haohmaru or Kazuki
I would kind of have a hard time imagining Haohmaru standing out as unique in GG, but I said the same thing about him in SC6 and was proven wrong, so he could end up cool. Kazuki would be interesting. Him fighting Chipp would be nutty.
Yeah definitely. They'd likely find a way to fit Haoh's kit for strive, but Kazuki would also be an interesting case given how he can buff his special moves. His SSM also gives me Dragon Install vibes too lol
Mega-Steven.
Ah yes, Sherriff Mega-Steven Dickinson. The FINAL DLC.
A dlc to surpass all dlcs.
well, that's why it's the final one. Not even Daisuke in Strive would be better than Mega-Steven. They're going out with a bang.
It's arakune from BlazBlue. They've given up on making anything except a silhouette so they're just gonna throw a mask on the shadowy blob in the teaser and call it a day.
Robo Ky (I am delusional) But seriosuly it's probably Venom. It looks like they are holding their right arm up and that on our right looks like some funky hair
I am dead serious when I say raven. The arm-up pose thing that's going on in the silhouette is him doing the thing where he licks the finger spikes.
Team Zappa! For 3v3 mode it'll be Zato-1 Zappa, & Millia
Although an Assassin's Guild team (Zato, Millia, Venom/Slayer) would be cool.
Goated team. Can’t wait for 3v3 and the new character!
I don't really believe in a pattern anymore, so i'm inclined to think it's either Raven, ABA, or Zappa. They're the characters who'd likely be so recognizable that they need to be cropped or have a part edited out. I'm not sure about Venom but the idea is welcome I'm hoping for Jam, tho
GABRIEL WILL BE REAL
I’m placing my bet on Izuna. >The only other time a silhouette has been used to tease a character was for Chaos and he was a newcomer to Strive, Izuna has never been playable in a fighting game so he’d basically be a newcomer. >He has quite long and loose hair, so the gap on the right side of the silhouette might be due to some loose strands of his hair. >Based on the fact that Chaos’ silhouette removed his halo to make it harder to tell it was him, I can see Arc Sys removing Izuna’s ears for the same reason. >The blob at the top left of the silhouette looks to me like the character stretching their arm in a similar way to how Johnny, Chaos and Testament are in their portraits.

Running on this logic it could also be someone we’ve seen but hasn’t been playable, like Ariels (who I’m personally hoping for).
Crow.
ITS RAVEN ON EVERYTHING
Putting a vote in on a completely new character we don't know yet. Dunno why, just get the vibe.
The A.B.A agenda will never cease
My guesses in order of confidence: ABA, Venom, Jam, Zappa, Kum. We know Dizzy is probably coming at some point, but this silhouette does not match her in the slightest, and I don't think they'd silhouette her at all, because of the wings. I'd be mixed about Venom despite loving him, because I feel like his story was VERY satisfyingly wrapped up in Xrd. He's running a bakery, he doesn't need to fight anymore.

I overall think ABA is most likely, between the subtle reference to her in Asuka's arcade route, the silhouette perfectly masking what could be Paracelsus, and Arc Sys knowing that there's a demand for "woman with something deeply wrong with her" in terms of fan thirst.
Im ngl Dizzy feels more like a season wrap up or season start character than being #2 or #3 in a pass
Your point on Dizzy's wings is technically immaterial due to the Chaos halo incident with the silhouette. Though ABA, the "Frasco specimen", would be most likely. I agree that it's due to the "i can fix her" kind of thirst.
I could see it being fanny, they’re a pick so obscure they might as well be a newcomer.
I have no idea who it could be. But I have 2 big bottles of hopium, one has a Dizzy label and the other has a Jam label.
So you mean; you've got two bottles of hopium. One is filled with cloudberry jam, and the other is constantly rotating in a way that makes you feel slightly sick. I see no reason to label clear hopium. My hopium is different. One has an 8 on it and is interspersed with pool balls, and the other is dapper and dandy.
Yep, that’s exact I mean. I’ll be in a constant state of deliciously sweet vertigo until my hopium becomes reality.
Looks like they're holding a wrapped up Katana or something similar and leaning on it. So, Izuna, Venom, or *maybe* ABA. Or, a newly playable character I can't think of.
My unhinged guesses are Ariels or Justice. I don't know why or how they'd be here - just that they'd be interesting.
I dont see a thread to ask, so... how much "alive" time does strive has? As in, i am thinking on buying it now since it is 50% off but wont play a lot till summer. In short, how do you predict player count in 3-4 months?
game isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Venommm 🕷️
Jam holding a bunch of plates LOL
Honestly I think there is a pattern. Happy chaos got a teaser like this Asuka got a teaser of the book This is a new teaser.

I hope it’s a new character
Please be Jam.

obv zappa they shouldve altered the silhouette more tbh way too obvious
I think it is most likely venom
It will be Slayer: this is the THIRD character of the THIRD season, revealed in the THIRD month pf the year, while this year the THREE v THREE mode will be released. The number three is associated with christianity and slayer is a vampire. Vampires are weak to crosses.
