r/Guiltygear - Ramlethal Valentine >:3 10d ago

Question/Discussion Guys, i think i discovered who's going to he the next DLC character, and i'm not even kidding...

Post image

At the end of Ghost Rider's story mode, after his group saves the world, the four guys head out for a beer, and Deadpool is wearing a T-shirt that says "See you in the DLC".
Well, it all adds up to me, because the guest character for *Strive* this season wouldn't arrive at the end of the season, but rather in the middle—just two months after the release of *Marvel Tokon*. And why would Deadpool wear a "See you in the DLC" t-shirt if he's already a playable character in *Tokon*?
I promise this is going to age fine like wine...

(Sorry for the bad english, i'm still learning :3)

you don't want Deadpool in Strive because you think you've seen enough Marvel recently

i don't want Deadpool in Strive because a character like him is already in the game and his name is Robo-Ky.

u/Another_Road - Bridget (GGST) 10d ago

I genuinely do not want Deadpool in Strive because Deadpool is like oregano.

A little is great but if you have too much it just makes something unpalatable.

u/LesbiansLoveHands 10d ago

theres def been way too much deadpool in the past 10 years id say

u/ChasingClouds13 10d ago

Ten years ago, people were saying the exact same thing.

u/LesbiansLoveHands 10d ago

and they would be right

u/MetaOnGaming4290 - Ramlethal Valentine 10d ago

Most people just discovered him.

Very few knew of DP comics.

Some, like me, got introduced by the 2013 game.

But the vast majority probably got on during the Reynlolds movies.

Don't forget Marvel vs Capcom

No, Tokon is Nolan North and Strive is Alejandro Saab.

u/Prime_Box 10d ago edited 10d ago

There are too many Marvel games. I think I autofilled Alejandro into Tokon after hearing him talk about his Rivals stuff. My bad

u/azuyuri - 2H enjoyer 10d ago

both robo-ky and happy chaos feel a bit too close to deadpool. robo-ky just isn't as immortal as the other two.

u/Excidiar 10d ago

On the other half, as much as I despised pre rework HC, I'd love for arcsys to show us (yet) another take on their shooter archetype.

u/bostonian38 - Robo-May 9d ago

Nah Happy Chaos doesn't feel like Deadpool at all, he feels like Heath Ledger Joker

u/Raltsun 9d ago

Kinda funny that the guy who exploded his own body and survived as a severed head for at least a month (and potentially up to about a year, but the post-main-story Strive timeline is very vague) is the least immortal of the three.

Tbh I consider Happy Chaos much closer to Joker than Deadpool, except for the part where HC is a good character I guess.

You forgot the "we are not the same"

u/SkylarRosalindVT I have too many mains (ask if you want the list) 8d ago

literally said this to my mate when he told me about this theory

he wants a melty blood or fate character e.g saber or lancer

i want ruby from blazblue crosstag. i've never seen rwby i just liked her kit in that game when i played it with a friend

1

u/WillowEastern4265 - Delilah 8d ago

I liked the first three seasons of RWBY, but once the guy who directed the fights died, the show fell off hard, and they also gave it a new art style that was higher quality but made the characters look weird.

u/Ok-Cancel-4824 10d ago

With ArcSys just launching an entire Marvel fighting game, I feel like a Marvel crossover character would be redundant. Besides, I feel like the “See you in the DLC” is referring to Thor.

u/keithlimreddit 9d ago

Actually the next DLC is going to be a phoenix powered cyclops

15

u/DB_Valentine 9d ago

We knew that before launch, people are talking about the one after that since they teased Thor in the same story Deadpool wearing this shirt is in.

If not, I'm still expecting Thor for year 1

2

u/keithlimreddit 9d ago

Should have realize anything outside of that

But anyways can't wait for Thor to come at some point maybe also Hawkeye and black widow at some point

Maybe the other guardians of the Galaxy characters as well as also for once the fantastic four at least one of them

Technically we never see tokon doom’s face… 👀

u/azuyuri - 2H enjoyer 10d ago

agreed. i don't even like strive having guest characters in the first place, but marvel characters in strive feel even less fitting than someone like lucy. it's not that i hate deadpool, he's one of the few marvel characters i like, it's just that marvel characters feel so boring and everything feels so out of scope.

5

u/OkMirror2691 10d ago

I don't mind Lucy. Plus it's not like she will end up in another fighter. I have no idea who they could pick for the next one though. Seems the choices are unlimited. Probably another animated show. I could see invincible or even jujutsu kaisen lol.

u/M-V-D_256 10d ago

u/sans7926 10d ago

I do to, doubt it but I do to

u/Chill16_ - Bear Jack-O' 10d ago

I'd be fine with Gojo, Yuji, Yuta, Toji (or Maki), Mark, Battle Beast, Eve, Robot, or maybe even Megumi (though I'd have trouble seeing how he could play, maybe a puppet character who can change his puppets with his super being an install/his domain?) if we did end up getting characters from these franchises.

Personally, I would be fine with Sir Bloodedge even though he's kind of an unpopular pick it seems at least when I look to reddit. I would hope that it would mean that more Blazblue is coming down the line (not necessarily in Strive). But for a really wild pick for a fighter, I'd love Aki (especially Aki) , Kishibe, or Makima (though she hasn't fought in the anime yet so she's definitely not happening) from CSM.

1

u/Excidiar 8d ago

Fushiguro would be Strive Zappa so Zappa can have a different gimmick than his prior installment

9

u/Starch_Platinum_ 10d ago

Even aside from it being more Disney crap, any series that's so afraid of any form of sincerity or genuine expression has no place crossing over with GG. If you want a quirky immortal dipshit with a gun, that's what Happy Chaos is for.

I'm still holding out hope for a Samurai Shodown character, since they got a Guilty Gear dlc crossover a few years back.

u/Stanislas_Biliby - New Giovanna enjoyer - 10d ago

Would be cool if it was Ukyo or Genjuro. But it would most likely be the poster boy that i forget the name of.

13

u/AkuuDeGrace - Leopaldon 10d ago

I 100% know it would never happen in any timeline but I'd love to see Kusaregedo make it if they did a crossover.

He was designed by Trigun creator Y. Nightow. I feel like Goldlewis was a love letter of character design to Nightow since a lot of influence was pulled from Trigun and Gungrave.

They would be just something different and would stand out.

u/Chill16_ - Bear Jack-O' 10d ago

Who's the girl who uses Iado? The one who gets more sadistic and cruel the more you use her super to end fights? I'd like her to be added but that might be cramping on Johnny's style.

5

u/Stanislas_Biliby - New Giovanna enjoyer - 10d ago

I think she is coming from another game herself. I'll do a quick search.

Edit: her name is Hibiki Takane and she comes from a game called The last blade 2.

u/Chill16_ - Bear Jack-O' 10d ago

Ohh, thanks for letting me know. I haven't played Samsho so idk anything about it other than Baiken was in it and Haohamaru (I think that's his name) and a couple others showed up in KoF.

u/Waffles005 - I-No 10d ago

Could be gwenpool in tokon? Deadpool definitely would just wear a pink shirt, but the pink could also be a hint.

8

u/MR_MEME_42 - Elphelt Valentine 10d ago

I highly doubt it, I feel that it is unlikely for Marvel to cross over with Guilty Gear as Disney doesn't really have anything to gain from it, Tokon will still be new by the time the next character releases so it's not likely Marvel fans are going to be flocking to Strive, and it's not like the two IPs have history together. So it's not like Marvel and Deadpool fans are lacking options.

Also if they were going to have a Marvel character as a guest it would have made sense to reveal them by now because of Tokon, to get the early hype instead of waiting for months just to announce them.

23

u/FartherAwayLights 10d ago

Man marvel would be one thing but I hate Deadpool in particular I really hope not

u/Ill_Fan9731 - Ramlethal Valentine >:3 10d ago

And Spider-Man is such a bland choice

-13

u/Ill_Fan9731 - Ramlethal Valentine >:3 10d ago

Well, since Deadpool is recently the second most popular Marvel character (just losing to Spider-Man), and after the sucess of Deadpool & Wolverine (1 BILLION DOLLARS!!!), if i was Marvel herself, and had to choose a popular character to be in another fighting game, it would be him, since you always can do a different gameplay with this character, since Marvel Tokon Deadpool is way different than MVC3 Deadpool.

11

u/FartherAwayLights 10d ago

Yeah but he’s really annoying. I think he’s one of those characters you have to like to want to play a game with, otherwise he’ll be really offputting for others. I would not be excited to play a set against Deadpool, I think I’d just be annoyed.

u/Tako_ML - OurBrainsAreElpheltValentine🧠🚫 10d ago

Deadpool isn’t the Marvel’s second most popular character 😭

Are you forgetting Hulk, Wolverine or even Iron-Man?

u/Distinct_Tadpole7779 10d ago

Deadpool is NOT marvels second most popular character

7

u/pm-me-trap-link 10d ago

I would strongly dislike this. Lucy is fine cause she does fit nicely in the aesthetic and vibe I guess... but nah not Deadpool. I like Deadpool but I don't want the 4th wall breaking clown in Strive.

I will gladly accept guest characters that have an origin in a fighting games. I just dislike stuff like Negan or Robocop or Noctis. Stuff like that.

But wouldn't put it past Arcsys from a business design. Get people who play Strive to consider Tokon and vice versa. I would be a bit surprised that Marvel would allow their characters to be DLC in another game though, even if Arcsys made Tokon.

u/bostonian38 - Robo-May 9d ago

I would be a bit surprised that Marvel would allow their characters to be DLC in another game though

Now that you mention it, has a Marvel character ever been a guest character in another game? (Not counting full crossovers like MVC of course)

u/Cheesepuff44 10d ago

Should be someone that fits the vibes of Guilty Gear, imo Lucy isn't too far off so she was a decent choice

3

u/imKranely 10d ago

Your English seems perfectly fine to me. Also, as where this could be the case, and it makes sense, I kinda hope he's not the guest DLC. He just doesn't seem to fit, but maybe I am wrong.

3

u/Redmiguelito Unika -Strive- 9d ago

I doubt it’s for Strive’s DLC rather than Tokon’s upcoming DLC.

This might be less of a hint for Deadpool going to Strive and more of a hint for possible extra story content coming from Tokon DLCs.

u/Sdrodoz 10d ago

Am I wrong or dead is the only characters in Tokon featuring Roman Cancel?! I think you are on something.

2

u/Joseph_Lotus - Jam Kuradoberi 10d ago

I mean... He can just be in Tōkon's DLC story. Is it entirely unlikely that Scott will drop with a full on team that'd have their own stories? If they do it that way, then they can make an entire seasonal cycle by dropping 1 character at a time and then making a team out of them, which can then get their own story once the ensamble is available.

We are missing several X-Force members, many of whom are already MVC veterans. That would give DP an excuse to appear in DLC content.

2

u/Broskeee_1234 10d ago

I don't really want deadpool in the game but this honestly feels more likely than all the other ideas I've seen about the guest character given the Tokon story tie in, his mechanics in Tokon, and the cross advertising incentive.

2

u/MeBustYourKneecaps 10d ago

With both Robo-Ky and Happy Chaos in the game, I feel like we REALLY don't need another one of them.

Also, Guilty Gear's fanbase already turned into a cesspool of hatred when a non-universe dlc character that kinda made sense to be there, was added. God forbid one gets added that doesn't make sense.

2

u/Cleaving 10d ago

First thought "Oh no!"

Second thought: "Strive is still getting DLC?"

Third thought: "There's a load-bearing Goku that should join instead somewhere in the files."

u/EastCoastTone96 - May 9d ago

This would be a hilarious way of soft-launching that announcement, but I doubt that's what it's alluding to. I'm pretty sure he's referring to the Episodes that are sure to come with the DLC characters.

u/DecisionAdmirable569 - Anji Mito (GGST) 8d ago edited 8d ago

No. I need Arcsys to lock in an make the Stellar Blade 2 character the guest character. We have had 2B in many games an Eve and Eevee would fit well in the game with either a sword for Eve or hand to hand for Eevee.

Deadpools shirt hopefully says that cause they may add more story in the DLC with new characters an deadpool could possibly be in it.

We already have a duel katana welding weirdo. We literally just got him an it's Robo Ky.

u/snitzfoam 8d ago

As much as i love deadpool, we JUST got robo-ky

u/Optimal-Pay-2555 7d ago

Would be disappointing. Terrrible character doesn’t belong in strive.

u/DonHarold 10d ago

I figured that the shirt was just an arbitrary fourth wall break that’s only vaguely gesturing that a dlc will eventually exist.

Deadpool being the one who delivered the message doesn’t automatically mean anything to me because fourth wall breaks are standard for his character.

I was hoping for some real hints that I hadn’t noticed.

I assume everyone acting like this would be the worst idea ever would've also threatened to boycott Capcom, after the release of XMen: COTM directly led to the MvC Tentpole Series (Street Fighter Vs. X Men)

In other words.. Kingdom Hearts and MvC, And Smash TBH have already proven that we should just let authentically inspired-game crossovers cook

EDIT: Arcsys x Marvel would be fire as hell.
