Make my wish come true…
Arc System Works appears to be teasing the next DLC combatant headed to the roster of its lovely new fighterGuilty Gear Strive.A tweetposted on the officialGuilty Gearaccountyesterday references the passing of Halloween, the arrival of the holidays, and the sinister and mysterious phrase “She… is… coming…”
Now, of course, weallknow that the actual Queen of the Holidays is Mariah Carey. And, even as we speak, the songstress is currently defrosting in readiness for her return to radio stations, TV shows, and store loudspeakers across the globe. But unless Mariah is getting set to bust skulls inGuilty Gear Strivealongside Ramlethal, Sol Badguy, and company, one can assume that ArcSys is actually referring to a brand new DLC fighter, one whose reveal is confirmed to be taking place later in November.
There are numerous women fighters who could easily fit the bill. From the wild-haired pugilist Jam Kuradoberi, doomsday bunny gal Elphelt Valentine, pacifist cutie-pie Dizzy, and — yer boy’s favorite — the might samurai Baiken. Of course, there’s also the possibility ArcSys could reveal an original, entirely new character, much as it did earlier this year with the mighty, coffin-swinging federaleGoldlewis Dickinson.
Whether ArcSys’ tweet was a mere Mariah meme, or whether it was a legitimate DLC tease, the fact remains that wewillfind out the identity of the nextGuilty Gear Strivefighter soon enough, as they prepare to join an already stacked roster of superstars. I’ll be flying the flag for Team Baiken, of course, but any of the aforementioned names will be more than welcome… You don’t think it actuallyisMariah Carey, do you?
I’ll be totally honest, I’m all for it.
🎃The ghosts and ghouls will have to wait another year, but something truly terrifying is on the horizon… you hear bells jingling🎵 as a creature descends from the snow capped mountains. She.. is.. coming.. 😱and so are the holidays. 🦃🎄#GuiltyGearStrive#Holidayseasonpic.twitter.com/R9PqG3OyKx
