Guilty Gear Strive - Slayer vs. Nagoriyuki

#shacknews #guiltygearstrive #gameplay

It was a great weekend for fighting games, not the least of which is because Arc System Works revealed Slayer as the final character of Guilty Gear Strive Season Pass 3, and we got a release date for him, too. The dapper vampire is bringing tea time with Sharon, batty misdirection, and hard-hitting fists to Guilty Gear Strive at the end of May 2024.

Slayer was officially revealed with a release date for Guilty Gear Strive during EVO Japan 2024. He is set to arrive in Guilty Gear Strive alongside the new wintery stage Amber Fest with Kind Neighbors on May 30, 2024. Slayer looks more stylish than ever, wearing his coat over his shoulders and letting loose with the his Mappa Hunch straight punch, Blooodsucking Universe command grab, and Dandy Step feint-dash that leads into many of his other attacks. From that step, he can still crush opponents against the wall with Pile Bunker, but he also has overhead and anti-air actions out of the step.

That victory screen. My god. The healthiest relationship in all of Guilty Gear.

[Boo.]

his theme seems to be more jazz than rock/metal, and i'm all here for it.

[Okami_HD]

and when the raging demon kills the opponent literally flies the entire way round the planet instead of bouncing around, yeah i think they portrayed his strength pretty well

[mattsandvig]

Yes, I knew they couldn’t just not give him his haikus

[NexSilva]

THEY GAVE HIM NOT ONLY HIS HAIKUS BUT WITH SHARON AS WELL. WIFE GOALS!
Also, don't tease me with no subtitles, do they have a unique dialogue or not!?! Only time will tell.

_GOD GIVE ME THE SONG ALREADY, STOP EDGING ME LIKE THIS_

Did something happen to the budget? All of a sudden these victory screens have actually been cool rather than just the character saying something as the camera pans them. Since Elphelt we have had cooler and more detailed win screens.

[jole]

Already know his theme is a banger!! 😭

[marcusjones]

No one else is talking about how Nagoriyuki just died at half health. Millia is gonna get punched off the select screen.

[tronixchl]

HOLY SHIT IS THAT THE MF FULL THEME OF SLAYER ON A LEAKED MATCH BEWTEEN THE NEW CHARACTER AND NAGO?!?!!?!??!

[Maxler]

that victory screen was a fucking trick on the trailer holy shit

[newttrain]

Neat little detail, it looks like Slayer puts more effort into blocking as his Risc gets higher. Not sure if anyone else does that.

[ManicGrin_Tonytax]

2:25 all that damage on NAGO
Edit: ISSHUN SENGEKI

[sporetv]

That victory screen makes for a lovely wallpaper!

[WhyAllTheGoodNamesTaken]

Mom the vampires are fighting in front of Santa again.

[VividVoid]

Okay, going off the initial reveal trailer. I was NOT expecting his win screen to end like that.

[LukeLibra]

As much as I love seeing the gameplay of Slayer, I can’t help but have the urge to sing along with the lyrics. It’s just too good.

1:30 That piano solo goes so hard. Please Daisuke, just drop the theme already
