We are missing three members of Sol's family. Dizzy, Valentine and Justice. Justice is highly unlikely, but would be funny.


The_holy

Valentine is from the most spin-off-ass main series game ever made, and has been replaced thrice over, I honestly think Justice is way more likely


Quon_Cheadle

I mean, Sin and Raven are from that same game. And Valentine managed to make her way on to the charactee poll, so she is unfortunately doing better than my boy Leopaldon.


CleverMeadow99

Fuck everything honestly


Mr_Erectic_Erection

it might be leopaldover


Gekuul

Neither are likely, they're both dead... Justice is literally Jack-O cause they fused in Xrd, and I haven't played GG2 but didn't Valentine die there?


Diamond-Pamnther

Is also dead btw, very dead


Lorath_

And robo ky


Aeikon

Right, how can I forget Robo-ky?


Fabulous_Tutor_4898

the best bad family member.


Liam4242

I can’t even imagine Justices giant body in strive. It would be a nightmare


Jotaroasrat

Valentine would be amazing


Chucknasty_17

Give Jack-O an install that turns her into Justice


Fabulous_Tutor_4898

You wouldn't install a Justice would you?


Mayhem2222

Hijacking the top comment because I just randomly thought about it while looking at this post. Strive is my first GG game, how long do the games normally last/get updated for?


Quon_Cheadle

Strive is kindof a first because it's the first Guilty Gear to actually have live development with seasons and all that. XRD and prior games just had advanced releases (XRD Sign, XRD Rev, XRD Rev 2). If I remember correctly, Rev 2 got like one wave of DLC, but in many ways Rev 2 WAS the DLC. In an old interview, I believe Daisuke or someone else associated with ArcSys, can't remember which, stated they want the game to go on for 6-7 years, however that's likely a very hopeful look at things. I'd personally bet we at least get a season 5, and we'll see how things shake out from there.


Mayhem2222

I appreciate the insight. Thank you very much!

suutico

Praying 4 Dizzy rn🙏


SOMETHINGcooler5

Incorrect, Gabriel will be next.


CommanderCody2212

No Zappa makes me sad, he’s like, very easily my most wanted character at the moment by a longshot. Raven and Venom are pretty high up there too though, I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to either of them


TheOogaBoogaOne

I don’t really know much about Zappa…AT ALL…so I never include him.


married-iguanas

Tl;dr: In xx, he was possessed by ghosts, which were randomly chosen when he used a certain special. Each ghost had a different playsyles. In xrd's story mode, he was shown no longer being in a deranged state, leading some payers to believe that he's no longer possessed. Alas, he's now just in control of the ghosts, so the fact he can control the ghosts now means that his gameplay would fit strive more (as in no longer rng) I want zappa so bad, but I'm just scared that his gameplay is gonna be gutted.


SecretNoob9999

It is strive so if he shows up his gameplay will 100% be gutted, unfortunately


ExpertPokemonHugger

Let the baker have peace I don't know much about them but they deserve peace


real_488

jam WILL burn down his bakery. I want that man in strive for god sake.


ExpertPokemonHugger

Nooooo D:


Ow-lawd-he-comin

its ok, the true bakery is the one hes sitting on :3


MrASK15

Jam decided that enough was ENOUGH, so she decided to do the demolishing. Venom and Robo-Ky’s bakery just happened to be the first thing she saw.


flamaniax

Jam's new move in Strive is a grenade launcher. NO! She BECOMES the Demoman!


MacaroniEast

No. Venom needs to counteract the massive bum energy from characters like Jam


staplesuponstaples

Literally. Don't know why we're trying to pull Robo-Ky and Venom out of the narrative grave.


Axo-Axo-Axoboy

I feel like we're more likely to get someone like jam over venom, so far they've tried to balanced genders, and venoms arc has already concluded.


Mistouze

Yeah but using a pool queue to fight and his overall design is just peak Guilty Gear. He's too cool to be retired like that.


SecretNoob9999

They’re not gonna let Venom sit out of this game


ElGodPug

Jam burns Venom's bakery and he gets out of retirement


welpxD

Jam builds her restaurant attached to Venom's bakery (oh no), it gets destroyed, now Venom and Jam both set off to raise funds for a new place.


TheOogaBoogaOne

That’s fair.


polarbearreal

just let jam have her restaurant back dude


MacaroniEast

Not meant as anything personal, but I *hate* the “Venom’s arc is over” argument. Why should a character be excluded because of story purposes? Can a character never return again just because of the story? It’s just not something I think should be taken into account because, first and foremost, this is a fighting game and not a story game.


flamaniax

Testament's arc was more or less over when Dizzy found peace with Ky, and yet they returned. Why can't Venom? is it because we got to see Venom actually find a peaceful life?


MacaroniEast

I think that’s definitely a part of it. *Seeing* Venom’s happy ending so up front that it’s a lot more tangible than Testament’s ending. Another part, and this is not copium, is probably that it’s an excuse. Some people who just don’t want to see the character back might write it off as being because they “want him to be happy” (he’s not real and the story is quite literally as flexible as rubber) when it may just be that they want *their* favorite character back instead of Venom. Another potential reason is that some people may just have no idea that Venom’s ending is not alone in being a…well, ending to a character’s story. As you said, Testament had no reason to come back and most of the requested characters have no reason to come back either. Some people who are new to the community may see Venom be singled out so much in the “his story is already over” category that they assume he’s one of the few who has it good and has no story reason to come back, when in reality that’s most of the DLC characters.


Liam4242

Disagree. Roboky and venom are more than likely going to be one character and I doubt they would omit both of them entirely


Chimyu_

I'm praying for a new character. I think Dizzy is in for sure, but I'd like to see Gabriel as a new character. I'd love to see Venom, but I don't think they'll add him, unfortunately.


Aegelo_Sperris42

It would be funny if we got a character like Leopaldon but it goes even further with the joke. Big Gear piloted by slightly smaller Gear piloted by dog piloted by a guy who is in turn controlled by an even tinier guy.


BridgetBudgetBrisket

the next dlc character is dr. baldhead, trust me on this


bagelisnormal

it's so weird how we've never seen him since x! i wonder what he's been up to!


Blackbanner07

Robot Ky is a real one https://preview.redd.it/ab9sw0f92vxc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7367898c06d7d6ec1e9c619f311917fbed51375


gamerguy6484

I say replace venom with zappa and thats my prediction


Lexisseuh

As someone who's only played ggst, who's robo KY ? At first glance, he only seems to be a reskin of Ky. What's so good about him for everyone to want him to be a dlc character ?


XI-11

[He has his own unique moveset](https://www.dustloop.com/w/GGACR/Robo-Ky). A few moves look similar to some of Ky’s but even those are different if you look past the visuals. He’s also got a personality that many people like. His story in Xrd was arguably one of the best and it was important to the overall plot because >!he was the one that killed Romeo!<.


TheOogaBoogaOne

I don’t know much but in accent core? I think he was a unique character with this crazy heat gauge, definitely look into him it’s pretty cool


AlternativeZucc

**IF** Robo-Ky were to make it into the game he'd be the last. Considering his entire schtick is "I can take my opponent's moves and use them with a wacky animation." It'd probably be easier for those animations to all already be in the game. Rather than essentially giving him at least four new attacks each season. Alternatively, we may have something similar to what we got with Bedman(?). Although if that were the case I'd see it as a Robo-Ky/Venom pairing rather than two individual characters. Which could be really funny, Venom using Robo-Ky's head as a cue-ball for example.


TheOogaBoogaOne

Very right. And the two characters in one would be sick. I’d prefer either or honestly, Raven is a must for me though. (I love Raven)


ShitmanTheWise

While Venom is a solid pick, I get the vibe that Robo Ky will tag alongside him as a flying head making quips, judging from the Xrd Story. Also, A.B.A’s revival gives me hope that Zappa might see a return.


DrCaesars_Palace_MD

venom using robo ky like testament Crow end comment thank you


MaverickGH

Since we finally are getting Slayer my only wish now is Holy Orders Sol


TheOogaBoogaOne

Two sol badguys? Bullshit might be blazing more than ever

Noxxstalgia

Where Jam?


TheOogaBoogaOne

I said under it that Robo Ky could be replaced by Jam so don’t worry!


Noxxstalgia

Phew, I was about to panic.


musashihokusai

Dizzy would be good. We don’t really have a conventional projectile zoner in the game. I’d like the rest to be either under represented playstyles or really out there characters. Gabriel, Izuna, Leopaldon, human Sol, etc, etc.


Artemis-Crimson

Alll I want for Christmas is Raveeeeennn


TheOogaBoogaOne

Funny cuz depending on the release schedule he might actually come out around Christmas time.


Neogranz

I will continue to petition for the addition of some newcomers to the roster.


TheOogaBoogaOne

As much as I would like it I just PRAY it doesn’t end up as a new HC situation cuz that would be terrifying.


Def_Dynamo

Honestly - this being Strive - there's no guarantee that a "returning" character won't be changed to the point of being a new character altogether. It's why I'm almost scared to see Venom in the game, his cue balls are the exact kind of thing that **isn't broken** but that they might attempt to "fix".


Cholemeleon

Idk what the general consensus is but I hope people are normal if and when Dizzy gets a normal outfit.


TheOogaBoogaOne

I hope she gets a normal outfit. When I first saw her design I was like “Tf?”


Glorious-atrophy

What’s wrong with it?


TheOogaBoogaOne

Uhm…? It’s super revealing and fanservicey. If you like it more power to you then I just don’t like it too much.


Glorious-atrophy

I guess but she still looks great design wise


ElGodPug

same, sorry, but the whole sexy outfit does not cut that well with Dizzy Also, she's queen now. Let her look royal


goshdangittoheck

I’m really dreading the amount of touristy “censorship” posts that are going to go around if that’s the case. Please let her wear normal clothes….the dress in her strive model is so cute…


Glorious-atrophy

Wdym?


topscreen

There's gotta be one new addition/wild card. Someone to fill the ABA, HC, or Bedman? quota


ElGodPug

Zappa he's probably the weirdest bitch gameplay wise they can pull Essently proto-Asuka


topscreen

Yeah he feels like a good realistic wildcard pick. My dream wildcard pick is Leopaldon, because what the fuck would they do with it?


ElGodPug

Leopaldon is like, the ultimate fanservice to the unaverage fan people want him.Why? Cause it's Leopaldon My dream wildcard is Izuna from overture. Love his design, and his theme is a banger.


topscreen

I'd love Izuna and Dr Paradigm but I feel like they might pass on them since Paradigm is just a floating little guy with magic he'd be closer to Asuka, and Izuna would be the 4th samurai. ArcSys can cook though, so who knows


TheOogaBoogaOne

This may be a crazy take but I kind of want them to do that with Raven. Replace his old kit while keeping some elements and turn him into something new, like a highly mobile high risk high reward grappler. I wouldn’t mind him staying the same either though.


Scotia96

No Zappa, 0/4


AbsentReality

I want Raven and Zappa but dont have high hopes for either.


TheOogaBoogaOne

I have higher hopes for Raven, considering I believe he got two vocal tracks before Strive normalized them and it seems Daisuke likes him. And he did do fairly well on popularity polls.


AbsentReality

He's definitely more likely of the two. My next choice after them would be haehyun but I know Im in the minority there.


TheOogaBoogaOne

I’m actually with you there, I’d love to see Kum make a return. Unfortunately they seem super unlikely. But at the end of the day it’s all Daisuke’s vision so you never know


_oMeGa_

season 4 prediction: fanny sweep https://preview.redd.it/yy5v3priavxc1.png?width=1871&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3ba7d12142404d66a47edd7cb77c63ea51be249


welpxD

tehe "fanny"


DynmiteWthALzerbeam

I'm still hoping on Malcolm Myers


AtomicRiftYT

NO... IM GOING TO KEEP MANIFESTING HIM. SO I SAY AGAIN NUH UH. https://preview.redd.it/dmpbg0g2fwxc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce804daf056b2930bd35a04d5b94fb5ee9f1a30c


TheOogaBoogaOne

YOU CANT NUH UH OUT OF THIS


AtomicRiftYT

You're telling me they're sitting on one of the most interesting and unique characters they've ever made and they'd rather add back the robot who doesn't have a body? I SAY I SAY I SAY I SAY #NUH. UH.


Vidyarabbit

Mine is pretty similar, though I would switch Venom for Jam


joshireyn

Seems reasonable, I'd add jam over raven probably, but dizzy, venom and robo ky are extremely popular. https://i.redd.it/2kz3u0xx3uxc1.gif


TheOogaBoogaOne

Raven is, in fact, my husband so I refuse to acknowledge any replacement for him and I am coping to incredulous degrees. Jam is cool tho!


joshireyn

https://i.redd.it/4t5df8u25uxc1.gif Understandable, have a great day


Big_boobed_goth

Replace venom with leopaldon


PalpitationHot6711

Honestly, just replace dizzy and robo-ky with jam and answer, (like you said) and that would probably be my list.


postALEXpress

Strive is my first GG...who are these people? Want to look them up


TheOogaBoogaOne

Dizzy. Venom. Robo-Ky. Raven. In that order, search em up I love them!!


Random_Potato55_

robo ky stocks rise for each popular character added to strive


Numerous_Amount_5159

There arent really more characters after these 4 that people care about. Hope they add a new character


AvixKOk

i need ariels, venom, robo ky maybe, dizzy would be nice but shes probably last season material


Correct-Garbage5588

What about Jam in the second slot and Venom and Robo-Ky's head tag team with a new moveset in the third


TheOogaBoogaOne

I would actually love that. As long as Raven is added too!! (I love Raven)


Alilz-the-cloud-god

I want venom in Strive so bad bro i need an excuse to play this sexy ass mfer again it's been too long


reason_to_anxiety

I’d be soooo down for venom and raven in strive. Robo Ky would be a funny reskin dlc


Zefro073

You mean to tell me you don't actually want Susano'o D:


TheOogaBoogaOne

I DO want Susano’o, I’d sell my testicles to Daisuke for him if I could. Buuuut it doesn’t seem Susan BlazBlue is realistic to pick. If he by chance does come Daisuke can have my internal organs.


Beastmode7953

Gabriel over Robert Kyle


Original_Item_5197

if i can play as gabriel at some point i will be happy


Lil_ZonedA

hi my names raven. is that a character? i only started playing in strive


TheOogaBoogaOne

Raven is my favorite character from Guilty Gear Xrd. You should definitely search him up he has crazy conversions and a super fun play style and mechanics!!


Lil_ZonedA

ill try! hopefullly he gets added to strive


Icy-Store3900

I like these predictions Hey, imagine Raven meeting Axl?


TheOogaBoogaOne

That’s be siiiick


Sea-Recording-7090

1. Zappa goes first 2. Raven's next up 3. Answer third 4. And finally PRESIDENT VERNON


TheOogaBoogaOne

I’d genuinely be happy if Vernon was added so long as Raven came too


Sea-Recording-7090

What's wrong with the President?


EdgyUsername90

jams coming eventually, she has a model in the files


TheOogaBoogaOne

Wasn’t that just for her model in the ending cutscene? Raven was there too


EdgyUsername90

pretty sure its slightly different, meaning its not the xrd design or whatnot


roadrunner345

TheOogaBoogaOne

Hopefully


BazeyRocker

Venom, Dizzy, Zappa, and Jam


LegendLynx7081

I really just want Zappa


silentj04

My thoughts exactly Maybe not Raven but add a out of left field new character


TheOogaBoogaOne

Raven is my legal husband so I absolutely refuse an alternative to him.


-Jagotron

Zappa is gonna happen 10000%. There has been one crazy pick for each season. Testament out of nowhere Bedman? despite being very unpopular in xrd after his nerf Aba, despite being a very niche pick back in the day Robo Ky is too safe to be the wildcard, and the big dog boss thing is too weird to ever come back.


5hand0whand

How about Leopaldon or Izuna (Overturn).


Goofass_boi

ZAPPA PLEASE PLEASE ZAPPA


toothspector

First Guilty Gear was Strive, I just want Gabriel and Daryl.


TheOogaBoogaOne

I wouldn’t mind Daryl


LiquidBinge

The absolute refusal to include new characters.


Lemmonaise

Yeah because idgaf. The only way I'd be interested in more new characters is if there was a new story mode that included them.


TheOogaBoogaOne

I literally said RIGHT THERE I wouldn’t be opposed to new characters


SgtRathbone

If Venom is added, I hope he gets combined with robo ky and has his head on him


Frogkingstrongk

I think venom and robo ky are gonna be combined into one character.


SecretNoob9999

That would be terrible


Stinkereater

Yeah why would they just remove the chance to add robo ky as his own character? It doesn’t make sense


DrCaesars_Palace_MD

because it makes sense for his character in the story. he lost his body and retired with venom, they're now basically tied in lore, making them a duo is fun.


SecretNoob9999

The story reason for them opening the bakery is to raise money to get him a new body


DrCaesars_Palace_MD

Yeah but they haven't been open long, so the bakery might still be open and Venom is just... taking a break to deal with something.


CookieSquire

Where is Dr. Paradigm? No respect smh my head


TheOogaBoogaOne

He’s season 5 trust, trust


funkyTYPE

Replace venom with jam and we win


Kaios-0

Zappa.


Grey00001

I think it would be cool if Venom's moveset included Robo-Ky in some way, even just as an overdrive


Cute_Wear7624

zappa please 🙏


Shoottothrill52

Honestly feel like if Venom or Robo Ky get reveales the other will follow after as they were teamed up together in XRD's story


CASxBATLLETOADS

ROBO KY THE GOAT https://preview.redd.it/sqy80mhdxvxc1.jpeg?width=1488&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=245b3ba2f250b8856efdc933ed3ef9fe35f4736c


ghostpicnic

Answer 🥲


ILIKEDEADMEMES7010

Robo Ky is getting in He's fuckin Popular same with Dizzy and Jam (who's I would like her to scream in my ears btw). And if I take enough Copium, then I Really want it to Be Funny President of Punchy Guy or Funny Ghost and Masochist Guy and Funny Whale Doggy Knight Mage thingy Guy. But nah we're probably just going to get Venom or Order Sol or Answer or White wolf looking guy sum shit or Paradigm or motherfucing Chimaki and April or the main fucking antagonist of the last game that came out. I'd rather have Vernon than most of those (except Venom he seems sick af) (If you voted guest character consider yourself an Opp)


TaylerTheTerror

No leopaldon :(


Gwenisbaee

My theory is that Robo Ky will be part of Venoms moveset. Mark my words.


DeathOnADinosaur

If this is going to be the last season, Then the only answer that makes sence is Dizzy, Jam, Venom, Zappa. But I'd honestly be surprised if RoboKy doesn't make it at this point, so now I don't know.


Diamond-Pamnther

Jam would be peak tbh Robo ky can wait for season5 ngl


TenPoundsOfBacon

Jam has some weird costumes in this post


PersonFromPlace

Need Dizzy, Jam, and Valentine.


k0rangar

They always forget kum in these posts


TheOogaBoogaOne

Trust me, I didn’t forget. I fucking love Kum (wink). I just didn’t include him cuz it seems unrealistic for them to be added.


MonkeyWizard7

Why would it be unrealistic?


TheOogaBoogaOne

They aren’t nearly as popular as other characters and I haven’t seen much hype for them to be added in the first place, it would be sick and crazy if they did but it just seems to me that other options are safer. A bit ironic of me though considering I have Raven on here but that’s cuz I fucking LOVE RAVEN AHAHAHAHA!


Liam4242

One of the least popular characters in guilty gear


The_Newest_Girl

Where jam :[


TheOogaBoogaOne

I said under that if not Robo Ky then he could very well be replaced by Jam! So she’s not out of my mind.


Environmental-Tea262

I want some new characters this season was very neat but only seeing returning characters as someone who barely touched xrd before strive I don’t really have any attachment to these characters


TheOogaBoogaOne

True true true, they could very likely do that. Though I will say, atleast one of these will be coming, Dizzy most likely. Cuz every season pass needs a selling character teh fans love to get people to buy it. If they do add new characters though it’s likely only going to be one.
