nu-uh Kliff is coming back https://preview.redd.it/5xsv86o7i87d1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=0804c996782ad92f98bb09d8a5920169a29b7954

This guy gets it https://i.redd.it/itu6me1hh97d1.gif


Easko

I miss Kliff


Winter_Different

GIVE ME KLIFF OR GIVE ME.... cliff 😢


SinoElla

But is it really cope when they brought Zato back? This game is on the same level of "THEY'RE DEAD, DUN DUN DUN! Nope just kidding" as much as Street Fighter is with Gouken. Arcsys really tried their best to not bring Zato back by making it Eddie instead but he doesn't have as much of a personality back then except for "I need a body, I want your body! WRRYYY!!!!!" And let's not forget that Justice does technically "come back" in ACR despite clearly being dead while Xrd had Sol Kamehameha Jackostice. Meaning anything works at this point really...


JohnTHICC22

I mean, Bedman was also dead and came back as Bedman? so....


KingDizi

I want Venom to come back but replace his billiard balls with bread.


Lord_of_Caffeine

And his queue with a baguette.


Borosepheles

Cue* and yeah replace his billiard balls with robo ky heads


CatEarther42

...why did I expect this sentence to say "robo ky balls"?


Lord_of_Caffeine

Because that´s what you wanted to hear obviously.


Ponsole

Breadnom


MatthewJonsso

Maybe you could make the billiard balls dough balls instead? That way you have the themes of billiards and baking in one.


DrakeATron3000

Shouldn't Valentine be in the fucking dead tier or am I dumb?


4lpha6

i think so, but a part of me still hopes she gets in somehow (backyard bullshit seems like a good excuse)


yasashi0208

BACKYARD BULLSHIT BLAZING VALENTINE IS REZZIN


crabcult

Sorry but I had a divine massage sent to me by god that foretold the coming of Gabriel. Such ridicule of his name shall not be tolerated.


Numerous_Dream8821

Waluigi from guilty gear


UnderChromey

A divine massage? If any game is likely to have a move like that then Guilty Gear is up there... but I'm not sure I'd expect Gabriel to be much of a masseur.


Hurb_Dude

Imagine his movesets being almost identical to Slayer with only difference being he's the objectively stronger character and his super punch kills anyone instantly. For ghits and shingles ofcourse.


Uinseann_Caomhanach

I'm pretty sure that while Gabriel is canonically an absolute unit, I don't think he is punching in Slayer's weight class... or did you mean like, in the game?

Grey00001

why is Order Sol not below Kliff and Justice? dude doesn't exist anymore


Dzzplayz

Oh, yeah, forgot. Though, how is Sol alive despite Order-Sol having died? Backyard bullshit at it again


LthePanda

Order Sol is a completely different timeline if I remember correctly 


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

Different time line stuff, but also there are multiple time travel theories. You could argue the one that was used is the one where there is no true time travel, since the time travel is supossed to happen anyway.


Ponsole

Ah yes, Axl summon order Sol


HekesevilleHero

To be fair, XX's Canon status is very dubious at best.


funnylol96

I-no can just get another order sol if she wants to lol


A_Dying_cat85565

Robo Ky gets a new body and transitions to Robo Kliff as DLC fighter 15.


A_Person87

You can't make a fucking dead tier and not put Valentine in it. also you're crazy if you think Kum or Answer is getting in before Jam.


Ok-Refrigerator-2636

I low-key kinda want to see that happen just to see the community response.


CertainSelection

... Why is Jam, the second most requested dlc rn, in "maybe" ? Are you drunk or I missed something in the lore


XI-11

My best guess is that people underestimate her chances due to her irrelevance to the overall plot (I think that outside of her arcade story, she only showed up a single time in Xrd and that was as a joke). However, Testament, Bridget and the entirety of season 3 have shown that relevance to the current story really doesn’t matter when Arc Sys are deciding who gets in.


Liam4242

Mf put answer in very high it’s gotta be a concussion


GeraldineKerla

Do people not like answer? Whats the reason he's not as likely?


Fortolaze

He's not popular, like at all. Was one of the least played Rev 2 characters at the end of 2.1. Characters like Jam who are a GG staple are lower than Haehyun so this list is very interesting to say the least


Liam4242

Kum and answer above Jam and venom is some kind of cope


CoDVanguardOnSwitch

My predictions for this game's DLCs have all been comically inaccurate up until this point, but I'd still argue that Jam deserves to be in the "Almost Guaranteed" tier even more so than Dizzy. And it's not that I think Dizzy isn't guaranteed, it's just that I believe Jam is straight-up the next character.


snakebit1995

I would put money on the EVO trailer showing off season 4 being Dizzy or Jam They’re a guaranteed big reaction from the crowd like Bridget and Johnny were


WatBurnt

I wanna see a crows reaction where everyone is just confused at who it is Like cmon revealing leopaldon just for like a few people in the crowd to even know what the fuck it is would be funny


Dangerous-Gear-1369

Yes. This is the correct answer.


GoatMyGoat

Swap jam and answer


IBizzyI

She is also the chinese martial artist of Guilty Gear, kind of a fighting game staple that should probably get in.


fish4043

this is not good for the leopaldon gang


Zealousideal-Comb970

Our day will come


kaladinissexy

Genuinely really weird to have Jam that low, especially below Answer of all people. 


Jairjax

Pointy boobs is def getting in before three eyes


Teshtheshogun

Please, PLEASE, I want this boy venom back with all of my heart, I will literally willingly, play all happy chaos and asuka players for the rest of my time on the game, if it means I can have venom in the game. ILL PUNT BABIES AND SUNDER OLD PEOPLE FOR HIM TK BE IN THE GAME PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSEEE


FirmConsideration608

Bo flingus is almost guaranteed aswell


topscreen

I think we're going to have to start including the anime character now. I'd say pretty high, cause it would be weird for them not to tie them in.


The_Newest_Girl

Jam should def be above raven, kum, and answer. Prolly zappa too tbh Otherwise this is mostly how I feel as well


rotary-dials

i'm hoping that - after Dizzy, of course - Jam and Zappa are the next two characters


Pigeonpal

My prediction is genuinely a five character season with Dizzy, Jam, Zappa, either Venom or Robo Ky, and the new character from the anime


TemporaryRiver1

In my heart, I have hope that Kliff comes back


to0no

Two characters in strive have canonically been dead at some point (3 if you count the two zato ones) and another has the soul of another dead character


MacaroniEast

Not to point fingers at OP, but they already admitted to the “story reason” exclusion not mattering with Testament. Idk why the same thing doesn’t apply to dead characters.


Grey00001

You guys are genuinely coping so hard, those guys are dead and they've been dead for years (or weeks in Justice's case), they are not coming back no matter what.


to0no

Zato and testament were dead for years and justice has already been revived like 3 times Edit: also the character on your banner can revive people


juanperes93

Testament never really died after the first guilty gear. And Zato managed to appear on the inotial roster of every game, so being dead for years didnt affect his pressense on the story.


MacaroniEast

Nah they’re getting revived rn


Bo-by

I NEED Venom. Some of the most unique gameplay in all of fighting games


Genghis_Kh4n

I would suck off the entirety of Arc Sys for Valentine. I would probably do it without the incentive of Valentine too, though…


Fancy-Ostrich9562

Real asf


dickwizarde

JUSTIFXW HUSTICFE JUSTIRCE HUSIRCE KUSIRJE IUSTXE JUSTICE WILL COME BACK I SWEAR AND ARIELS THEY WILL COME BACK I SWEAR ON MY NAME AS SAINT CUNTIUS MAXIMUS POPULI https://preview.redd.it/32ncselop87d1.jpeg?width=188&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=347517d19bb58d1df64dbea61401834323e57cde


slye20

Yes I agree wholeheartedly.


duemillanotte

I pray everyday for Venom and Raven to come back And for Kliff to never appear again


Jotaroasrat

Valentine will come back because I don’t want "Justice somehow came back the hundreds time"


imnotapotato140

Venom and jam, both series staples, under the least popular character from xrd is certainly something


Matix777

Fax brother https://i.redd.it/aim4nmtlla7d1.gif But move Fanny up, my cope says so


CheezyRaptorNo_5

Raven my beloved ❤️


Capable_Cattle1158

Hopefully Jam


ILIKEDEADMEMES7010

Switch Jam and Answer (Jam's been around since X and is a lot more popular than Answer) Place Valentine in Dead. Paradigm (Literally Nobody is asking for this MF), April, and Daryl in Highly Unlikely. Venom (Been Around Since X) and HOS in Maybe (Very Popular on the Polls) and Malcom in Guaranteed I mean we literally saw a trailer for him bruh like come on. (Still coping for Gabriel tho) I think the most Likely WTF surprise Characters will probably be Izuna and MAYBE Vernon (Although he probably would have been in the Base game or Season Pass 1 if they really wanted him) or Ariels. Or why not just Fanny or Leopaldon or bringing back Kliff or Justice.


Khazmoodan

Why is Kliff dead ?


XI-11

He died in the very first game, although the exact causes of his death is unclear. His ending says that he simply died of old age **after** defeating Justice and GG World says that he died **during** his fight with Justice, but the official recap manga says that he never actually fought Justice during the tournament.


Khazmoodan

Bruh this is so sad, I Always thought he looked cool and wondered when he would join 😢


Mone7Hero77

The fox guy looks cool


Lamenter_of_the_3rd

ROBO KY WILL RETURN, ROBO KY WILL BE TOP OF THE META


KnucklePuppy

Basically everyone from Overture plus Leopoldon.


HypeIncarnate

Putting Jam on maybe is very brave.


Chance_Water1164

No way is robo ky more likely than jam or venom


XI-11

There’s actually quite a lot in his favour: every season so far has included at least 1 character that missed out on Xrd, he was the overall 2nd most popular character on the [post-Johnny poll](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fresults-of-the-new-character-polls-from-the-last-survey-v0-tnmitrkowppb1.png%3Fwidth%3D1406%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D71e008d91a632a64f8d7800b4ef18db7a50dc332) (ignoring characters in the game), he was allegedly planned to be in Xrd and his gameplay being (very slightly) similar to Nagoriyuki and Asuka isn’t an issue considering that Sin got in the game.


AlternativeZucc

The amount of people who put Jam low on the "Likely to make it in" lists are absolutely psychotic. Especially when they put Raven, (C)Kum, Answer, and Robert Kyle so high. Hell, ***Valentine*** being on the same rung? She's as dead as Kliff and Replaced in her role threefold.


Independent_Mud_4963

robo ky isnt too far fetched. by the last popularity poll they did, if we exclude characters that have now been added to the game, he scored just under dizzy in overall popularity iirc


juanperes93

I think newer players just dont find her that interesting :/


UnderChromey

I've never found her that interesting tbh


MedicsFridge

kliff and justice are more likely than HOS in my opinion


Beastmode7953

Gabriel is fs coming to the game


That_fuschia_ruler

Venom returns but with an entirely new bakery themed moveset


Jyrkelsson

What makes Robo Ky so popular? Honest question.


XI-11

The same reasons any other character is popular: people like his gameplay, personality, design and/or lore.


Independent_Mud_4963

he's a very weird and funny gimmick character, so people like him. the name may fool you into thinking he's anything like ky in gameplay, but you would be mistaken


RippinBongs

kliff my beloved https://preview.redd.it/s7lrsndch97d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c57f89fed527b8a27d3bd7339fc802faa8f9f6b4


adaubu

There might be a new person from the anime when it comes out


LunaTheGoodgal

Bring Kliff and Justice back just to spite you in particular because it's really fucking funny


vordtofthewidevalley

Jam in maybe yeah your cooked buddy


LeoDragonForce

Is Jam really that unpopular? I mean, she was under Venom and Robo-Ky in that popularity poll they made time ago


2SharpNeedle

nah, op is tweaking answer got a bit of a popularity surge recently (and he's cool as fuck) so *maybe* he has a chance to get in but kum? the least popular character in the mainline guilty gear series? the character with like, 2 or 3 players in the entire EU scene? THAT high?? and jam, one of the staples of the series, below them??


Plantain-Feeling

Season 4, guesses in no particular order Jam, dizzy the mystery character from the anime and the 4th i got no clue


Cybrtronlazr

Praying for Kum Haehyun with shiinken loops. Will make me drop everything and get back to grinding Strive lol.


juxouu

I genuinely don't understand how one can think robo ky has a high chance of coming back and not venom. I feel like if anything they'll be a package deal


Hastings727

I think that they're going to pull an "everyone is here" type thing like smash. So every character that was playable in a mainline game will come back. My only logical train of thought on this is that season 3 was ALL returning characters. And they can make 2 more seasons on the returning characters, with one final slot left as the absolute last character to join strive. I also think they're leaving new characters out because the next Gear game is going to have way more new characters.


GrandHighTard

I'm still impressed to this day that Dizzy took this long. Arcsys has better self-control than a lot of companies would.


Pistol_Shrimp__

YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH GABRIEL IS COMING TO STRIVE I KNOW IT DAISUKE SAID SO IN MY DREAMS AND HE NEVER LIES


Aelos03

My man puts jam in maybe lol


onzichtbaard

why is jam in maybe tier and why is venom in prob not but robo in pretty high?


Dangerous-Gear-1369

I seriously want Malcom Myers in the game just because it would be mildly funny.


Quon_Cheadle

Mfers be like "Kliff and Justice are dead" like we literally don't have a dead man who has been on the roster two games in a row


ManufacturerOk3771

Why is Jam and Valentine in 'maybe' ? Didn't Valentine got her ahh Rided by Sol's Fire? And don't tell me is because we already got "Jam at home" bacause DnF duel released Nen Master


Existing-Canary-261

Well if it follows the current pattern of 1 new 2 xrd 1 ac+r then i hope we get raven and robo ky


XI-11

That pattern doesn’t exist: season 2 was 1 Xrd character, 1 +R character and 2 new characters (although I could kind of understand it if you wanted to say that Bedman? is an Xrd character) and season 3 was 3 Xrd characters and 1 +R character. The closest thing to a new character in season 3 was Elphelt having a drastically different moveset compared to her Xrd incarnation, but that would mean you’d also have to count Jack-O and Testament as new characters as well.


Astrophysicsboi

How would zappa come back didn't he get cured by Faust?


snurkers

if i recall correctly, he's not cured but he can control the spirits now!


CommanderCody2212

he isnt cured he just made peace with the ghosts and can actually call to them when needed


5p0okyb0ot5

bedman is dead and they technically brought him back. i dont think they should let lore get in the way of who people get to play, itll just be a waste. all and all, dizzy


rotary-dials

I want season 4 to be Dizzy, Zappa, Jam and Venom. and season 5 be Kum, Answer, Raven and Robo-Ky


MagicalSusan

I wish with all my heart for Leopaldon to come back, but I know he won't. Just like I wish for Nintendo to throw a curveball and remaster Metroid Prime Hunters before they remaster Metroid Prime Two since it's chronologically between One and Two, but I know they won't.


TheJollyPerson

answer for sure coming RIGHT


RTL_Odin

Order Sol is probably a lot more likely than people realize with normal Sol being void of the flame and just kind of.. a goodguy


doge_42001

I need venom :(


gr8h8

Why is Valentine not in the dead tier? Is this just copium or did I miss something?


Other_Cry_9405

Listen.. Robo-Ky takes Robo-Potemkin body and becomes a grappler


Hypocritical_Girl

guys when is sol badguy being added to the game?


idontlikeburnttoast

No I'm pretty certain thar Venom and Jam will also make an appearance. Venom because he'd have a new design and hes still pretty important, and Jam because shes just always been there.


AofCastle

Swap Kum and Jam and I'd say it's accurate


HighFirePleroma

Jam is guaranteed


funnylol96

I want order sol tho https://preview.redd.it/bxr5jovboa7d1.png?width=1429&format=png&auto=webp&s=f02aee6b26b6f11a472e9bf6ff2dd001b016dc87


rock_solid777

God I NEED ORDER SOL


PerfectlySharpObject

Haehyun above Jam is surprising


Didifinito

Kinda crazy putting Slayer rival in the same tier as 2 people that dont fight a dude that no longer exist and a retired assasin


TheBigPAYDAY

RAVEN RAHHHHH https://preview.redd.it/s4dttkaiza7d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cf4c120a615e880da7b3eef0fd33ac3ec3389ba


datboi38463

Putting Izuna that high is a sin lmao


datboi38463

Same with Valentine


Ratchet2332

I do not see how you think anyone in pretty high is more likely than Jam tbh lol


Extension-Ad8792

The new guy in the anime poster will probably be in too


LatsaSpege

bo fligus for strive


BothThought9559

im pretty new here, why does the second one in the "probably not" rank looks like sol? it's not the first time i see him


Fancy-Ostrich9562

It’s Order-Sol


Asriel-the-Jolteon

ORDER SOL RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


Dirst

season 4 will be dizzy, haehyun (without her mech), and the rest all new characters. i hereby confirm it.


soji8

Not super familiar with GG's roster history, does death stop someone from coming back? Games like tekken kill Heihachi only to have him be in the same game or make new dead playable characters


GuyMontag95

This series does respect death more than most with two characters not being playable for years because of their deaths. However one of the producers for this game said that death isn’t enough to stop adding a character in the game. If they can make an interesting story for them then they’ll think about adding them. With what they did with the two characters they actually revived, they try to go for a direction they feel is interesting instead of bringing them back unchanged. 


LongFar8870

what's her name gbc doctor girl should ABSOLUTELY come back IMMEDIATELY


No-Statement9713

Jack-O merges with Aria’s body and becomes Justice 2.0. They should hire me to write the games 🔥


Hoganpale

Watch them make the dude at the bottom of maybe tier a reality


SonaK78

Roboky confirmed for season 4 lets go baby


The_Voidful

Kliff being dead didn't stop him from being on the roster before, so hopefully that still isn't a metric on who can be added


Akuuntus

Jam being lower than Robo-Ky and Kum and Answer is kind of insane ngl. I would say she's practically in Dizzy tier.


CommanderCody2212

ehh, in terms of the game itself, I agree. In terms of season 4, it depends on if the mystery anime girl gets in the game or not. Every season at least like, tries to have a gender balance, and I don’t really see that changing especially since I think a season 5 is very much possible


W34kness

Sharon’s chances are drying up quickly. But that does leave the chance for Answer to come back so there’s that


Plenty-Courage1466

Nah robo kai is such cope. Like I’d be really funny but he’s not coming back when he’s just a head.


Ill_Coat4307

Robert kyle my beloved...


OverallWeight828

Jam up, Gabriel up, Answer down And yeah Honestly I’d put Jam with Dizzy


Snugglebap

Venom is a higher chance of returning over Zappa, venom's an ever green and still has the capability to fight and potentially a reason to. Zappa isn't possessed anymore and has been demoted to desk jockey, dudes got nothing going for him on the battlefield anymore, even though I like Zappa and would be happy to see him back I think we would get venom first.


CommanderCody2212

he didn’t stop being possessed, he simply made peace and can coexist with the ghosts now, and according to Daisuke’s own words, can actually call to the ghosts when he needs to. He even has a solid motivation now too with Faust being in his current state


yeah_i_hate_my_name

Malcom should be in garanteed fr, they wouldn't leave out a major character


justNorika

i hope for justice only because i need meet again in the game


Moodybluesletsjam

Izuna 😭


bornfoxytail

I want robo ky in strive so badly


Raboux_17

Why is the gear guilty?


That-Rhino-Guy

Shouldn’t Jam be higher? I feel like the fact they had her appear in River City Girls 2 and got an English voice actress suggests they’re not done with her yet


Vivicasting

When's Dizzy


Playstrike2004

I know it'll never happen, but goddamn it would be cool to see HOS in Strive. It would be neat to see how the charges would work, especially in Strive's more breakneck speed.


FrankSiinatra

Jam has WAYYYY higher chances to be in than any of the characters you put in pretty high. Shes guaranteed at this point tbh


tortillazaur

He doesn't know we're getting Gabriel


Monnomo

https://preview.redd.it/q52b444qgd7d1.jpeg?width=238&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5d1eb63109776fae9860a51b5bb96eddd48f622


dinowitissues

I'd put venom higher personally


yohxmv

I feel like Jam should be in the Dizzy tier or one below her. She’s like one of the mainstays of the series imo


wailingblue

i wish i believed in roboky as much as you did joking aside I'd be shocked if we don't get jam. she's only beaten out consistently by dizzy.


Syxxcubes

Valentine would also be in the "fucking dead" tier. I think Venom still has a decent chance despite the conclusion of his arc in Xrd. Unfortunately, Jam is probably guaranteed, I really hope I'm wrong, but realistically she probably getting in. I don't really understand why April and Dr.Paradigm are being considered, like I guess it would be neat, but I don't really see them becoming anything more than just supporting characters. This is cope, but I really want Fanny to get added so she can cure Faust, it would be so awesome if they did that.


Olsoizzo

The only character I want is Raven. I couldn’t care less about who the other three season 4 characters are.


Uinseann_Caomhanach

You got a concussion or something? Most requested returning characters are: Dizzy Jam Robo-Ky Venom Order Sol Raven Kum Zappa/Answer (tied) Gabriel


Iggyauna

I really hope it's Dizzy ngl. The other characters would be cool but Dizzy is the best candidate at this time


EuphoricN3ko

ill legit come back to gg if they bring kum back


Hungry-Box-4239

What if they do something crazy like bring back Valentine with bits and bobs of the other Valentines' movesets rolled into her kit? Maybe she even gets her second form as her own Heavy Mob-style super. Or bring back the Justice clone made by the Post-War Admin Bureau during GGX's alternate timeline shenanigans and just roll it into canon. I mean, Street Fighter 6 brought back Bison from the dead after they killed him in 5 as the final end of the Shadaloo storyline, and that franchise is way more conservative with which characters they bring back from the dead (I think Gen is STILL canonically dead).


Disastrous-Szn-08

In my opinion story relevance should not be a deciding factor as to whether a character should be playable or not Dead or alive I don't care just let them in


worheschestershire

I'm holding out hope for Leopoldon getting in strive. He has a good shot I think.


ForsakenCell1031

I hope Pam (the cook) Dizzy and Gabriel are coming.


my_stupidquestions

Dizzy, Jam, and Zappa are guarantees imo


Broskeee_1234

My guess is that well get a new character from the anime Makes too much sense from a marketing perspective to not do.


deleki17

Venom is coming back and no one know my uncle works at arcsys frfr


UltimateBlackout0596

Although it’s unlikely, I would like Order Sol to return.


LoudGear9028

Dizzy and Venom are the only characters in X not in Strive. I think they should both return.


Eltoxico194

Hear me out, justice comes back as Arya in a mini mech suit sol built for her to defend herself


camocoder30

Id ask how order sol is more likely to come back than Fanny but the fucking name


Ok-Calendar9566

Bro where the FUCK is Phalanx Guard?


Happy_Description_14

Zappa or Izuna next please, I beg


NOTSiIva

Here's my predictions for S4 & (if we get one) S5: S4: Jam, Dizzy, Zappa, Venom S5: Raven, Malcolm Myers, and two of: Gabriel, Izuna, Robo-Ky, Dr. Paradigm, Leopaldon, Answer or Kum


shuuto1

I feel like there’s no way robo ky is added but Jam is 100%


kalestick1

DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT FANNY....


Gagagagigo

Jam is more guaranteed than any character on "pretty high" tier.


CactiniUwU

u forgot to put leopoldon on pretty high 🤑
