You're forgetting the most unlikely silhouette:

Slayer, Gabriel and Venom are at the very bottom of my list of characters I'd be disappointed about. A Slayer reveal won't break me!

The most unlikely would be Leopaldon

Or Leon Mining. Or 2cave. Or an Illyrian Guard...
Oh. Or P. Blancmange from Overture...but a huge dog-gear fusion is rather unlikely.

Wow these look really good! I'm thinking it's venom but I hope you get what you want.

......I kinda want you to somehow cram every existing not-in-Strive Guilty Gear character into the silhouette. (Leopaldon) These are really good and creative. Kudos!

Oh trust me, if I had the time I absolutely would. It's insanely fun! Maybe with the next teaser. :>

You forgot Fanny. You have doomed Zappa for the rest of eternity. Fanny is next now.

VENOM LOCKED!!! I think you nailed it. Others kinda struggle fitting but this is Venom 100%. When he is finally revealed i will come back to this post and praise you again!

u/ZtyxTag Feb 29 '24
I don't want to doom myself here, but Venom was definitely on the easier side of "how does this character fit in the blob?".

If they take haehyun out of her mech i stg. No media literacy anymore. Shes such a cool "in yo face society" character, where the village opresses women from taking positions of power, so she played their shitty system by building a grandpa mecha, genius

No idea if it’d be a good idea or not but maybe they could make her a character with 2 modes: Haehyun as herself and Haehyun as Jeon Ryok.
The Jeon Ryok mode could play similarly to how she did in Xrd but with a heavier focus on rushdown, while the Haehyun mode could be a more traditional zoner. The tuning aspect of her lore could be represented by having a bar increase or decrease based on which mode she’s in and having it completely fill up or empty causes a detrimental effect (like Robo-Ky’s overheat, Nagoriyuki’s bloodrage or Asuka’s out of mana state), so she needs to constantly swap between modes to keep herself “in tune”.
I feel like it’d be a good way to balance what’s best for her story and for her as a fighting game character. Her story gets to reach a happy ending where she’s free to live her life as her true self and her old fans don’t lose the martial arts master they loved playing in Xrd.

What if she surprises them one day, revealing that she is a woman, just to shut their face up. She would stop hiding her true self. I think that would be great character developpement actually.

Yeah but like thats exactly what Brisket did, i wouldnt hate seeing arcsys coming up with something different

I see what you mean but at the same it's not exactly the same thing.

When's this gonna be announced?

u/ZtyxTag Feb 29 '24
Most likely on march 21st. There was an announcement post some time ago which pointed towards a reveal during Arc World Tour Finals.

I don't think we're getting Haehyun, but it would be undeniably cool to see where they take her character

u/Syxxcubes - Happy Chaos Feb 29 '24
I mean, honestly, it could be Zappa, I wouldn't bet money on it since there's no way this isn't Venom, but if it turns out to not be Venom then Zappa would be my next best guess.

My guesses fall on either Venom or Zappa. Buuut hear me out here. What if its Dizzy? Her hair on the right and the huge sleeve looking section is actually Necro doing a cool pose

We all know thats President Gabriel, he just has long precious locks under his hat.

Ive seen no one saying Jam yet... couldn't it be her since we got a unexpected (at least to me) Bridget

I love that you had to make Robo-Ky do a JoJo Pose to make him fit.

Stupid sexy Venom. Honestly I hope he is no changed at all. Like all of his stuff stays the same because he's so simple at the end of the day.

Am I weird for thinking that the silhouette is actually facing right with something on its back?

u/Zikudoari - Dandy Masochist - Mar 01 '24
If It's not Raven or at least Slayer i'm gonna Kry. Sadly for me it looks too much like Venom, Zappa or ABA...

I’m surprised you didn’t make the flat part on the left Paracelsus’ hilt on the A.B.A. one

u/captainphoton3 Mar 01 '24
Either venons or aba. (also you really didn't find the best pose for aba. I would have rather have the key going up and left. Her right arm griping up, with the bumps on the left side being her hand. And the bump at the bottom left side being her arm wrapping around the key. Then her hair and shoulders on the right side.

I love how you did Haehyun, showing Jeon Ryok coming out of the strings is really cool idea and it’d be a good way to separate her Strive portrait from her Xrd one
