This is from 2004, so 20 years to the year and Slayer's back in the same game as A.B.A and Paracelsus again! Please please have some funny interactions!

Oh my god Slayer. Slayer is real in Strive. Here are some interesting things in his trailer.

After using Bloodsucking Universe and then landing what seems to be It's Late (which is interesting itself because It's Late requires a Dandy Step and Under Pressure to come out,) the COUNTER! text is replaced with UNIVERSE! It would honestly be nice if the counter looked different somehow to differentiate between the forced counter and a normal counter.

While it looks like maybe his teleport forward dash has been removed, it seems like his backdash is still a teleport, and also potentially cancelable with a forward dash? It's unclear, but it looks like he follows up this with a dash 5K.

An edit: after looking at it closer, he's cancelling it with what seems to be a new move (it's like a... two hand push?) that is then cancelled into 5K, or a dash 5K. BDC appears to still be in the game!

Dandy Step also seems to potentially have different properties: This is ABSOLUTELY Dandy Step, it has the same smear effect that Xrd Dandy Step does, but this just... happened. No backwards movement. There is one with backwards movement, but maybe P Dandy Step is just the forward bit? (Also, Strive players, pls help, can you normally move through Scapegoat I can't remember.)

I think the most interesting thing is that Slayer looks significantly older in this new design, except when landing what looks to be a command grab overdrive (similar to Heavenly Potemkin Buster, where you can combo into it.) After grabbing Sol and taking a big chomp out of his neck, he looks younger than even his designs in previous games.

All in all he looks unreasonably fucking cool. And so awesome. And cool. Clothes de-install. Except his tie. Why did he do that.

His new English voice actor is also AWESOME, AND THEY BROUGHT BACK HIS AWESOME JAPANESE VOICE ACTOR HES SO FUCKING COOOOOOOL AUUUUGH

Get the details below.

Slayer (voiced by JB Blanc in English, Takaya Hashi in Japanese)

Ease of Use: ★★★☆☆

His dukes define dandyism. Laid-back and dignified vampire. A gentlemanly descendent of vampiric lineage, who enjoys genuine combat and haiku as hobbies. He abides by his own code of “dandyism” and can take nearly anything in stride. When it comes to battle, however, he wields overwhelming strength in great contrast to his calm demeanor. Due to his lifespan as a vampire, all events in human society feel trivial to him. That’s only one facet of him, however, as he finds humans and their turbulent emotions in response to such affairs both enviable and endearing. He founded the Assassin’s Guild, only to retire after meeting his immortal wife, Sharon. Currently, he enjoys an untroubled life in retirement with Sharon, occasionally venturing out for some people watching.

New Battle Stage: “Amber Fest with Kind Neighbors”

The additional battle stage “Amber Fest with Kind Neighbors” is a town set in the Season Pass 1 additional content “Another Story.” A festival is being held to celebrate the aurora’s blessings, and special illuminations are on display to give thanks to the gear who saved the town from crisis.

Guilty Gear: Strive is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, as well as via Xbox Game Pass.
