So right now we already have Johnny confirmed to return and a new character called Jack-Off Jack-O', who looks really fun and entertaining. However if you look at the character select screen you'll find one more character slot that has yet to be revealed:
It's possible that the character that has yet to be revealed will be a returning fighter, in which case I believe the most likely choice would be Dizzy due to her importance to the story. At this point I wouldn't mind that; I honestly didn't like her in the earlier games, but now that Xrd's story has shown her being more confident I think she's getting better and growing out of being yet another Noel Vermillion.
Other possible returning characters may be Baiken or Testament, seeing as how almost all the fighters from the first game are present. Possible newcomers for this type of game I would think would be either Gabriel since he has shown to be an effective fighter in the story and his relevance to it, or Raven. Raven would be an interesting case since apparently he had a fight with Faust in other GG media, which would make the position of the slot fit well since the overall theme of the positioning seems to be characters with some form of relation. In this regard Dizzy would also fit well enough seeing as how Faust has helped her in the past.
Who do you guys think it'll be? A veteran, a newcomer that has appeared before in the story or someone else entirely? My money's on either Dizzy or Gabriel tbh.
EDIT: Recent footage has confirmed that the slot is actually for random select. Goddamn it. On the other hand the fact that Faust is on the opposite side does sorta make sense in that respect.

A.B.A. in Guilty Gear Strive
Am definitely excited that A.B.A. has finally returned after such a long absence. I'm gonna hold off on my thoughts on her inclusion here until after the last Season 3 character is revealed and released. I want to do a post reflecting on how Season 3 of Strive has been in terms of my predictions late last year, and should there be a Season 4 I want to refine my character predictions for that too. Speaking of Season 3, there's one more spot for a character, and I'm leaning towards it either being Dizzy or Slayer. Slayer is definitely one of the most requested characters for Strive, but Dizzy isn't that far behind and also has the benefit of being pretty significant within the Guilty Gear series. She even appeared at the end of Another Story, so she could have an arcade mode that followed up on that. Looking at the last characters from previous seasons, there's Testament in Season 1, who was a sub-boss for the first two games, absent for the Xrd games, and returned with noticable
Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama
The passing of Akira Toriyama came as much of a shock to me as it did so many other people, and it took me a while to really process it. Given that his impact on manga, anime and video game culture is so massive, and his name feels as ubiquitous to anime as Osamu Tezuka, it felt almost unthinkable for it to even happen, as though he’d naturally always be a constant the way his works are. But he was ultimately human just like the rest of us, and his loss will be felt hard along with the passing of other important manga artists like Kentaro Miura and Kazuki Takahashi in recent years. While those who knew him personally like Eiichiro Oda and Toyotarou could speak more in-depth about the kind of man he was, I’d like to share what his works meant to me. Like many folks around my age, Dragon Ball Z was one of the first shows I watched to really introduce me to anime. Here in Australia, it aired alongside Pokémon and Digimon on a cartoon show called Cheez TV and was one of things my older
End of 2023 Life Update
Another year has once again flown by so quickly, and a lot has happened around the world, but for me it feels like most uneventful year I’ve had in quite a while, even when compared to other years. I’m also posting this journal post a bit earlier than I’ve done in previous years (around midnight or just after on New Year’s Day), since I’m going to be spending the last day of the year with one of my wonderful girlfriends. Earlier this month I released a journal post speculating which characters could appear as future DLC in Guilty Gear Strive, and while it’s not my usual thing it was still a pretty big thing that took some time and effort to get done and finished. Like I mentioned there, my big writing projects are going to be on hold for a while because I’ve come to realize that trying to just hammer away at the same things for months on end has not been as productive as I had made myself believe. That post was meant to be me trying something different for a change, and I think I
Update on Them's Fightin' Herds situation
A couple of weeks ago I found out that Them's Fightin' Herds would be officially ceasing development after the remaining two DLC characters are completed, which also includes the rest of the planned story mode being scrapped. I was devastated as many other fans were about this news, and it was made no better by there not being any given reason as to why this was happening. I had my own speculation but could only wait for more updates on the situation from some kind of official source, and recently we have got just that, and it is not at all good news. Oreo was working for QA until recently, and not only her but everyone on the dev team besides 3 people were all fired. The reasons why exactly it seems like she can't elaborate on too much for now, and the only people I know that are among those fired are Oreo and the last remaining composer Whitetail, based on tweets I've seen from them. This fucking sucks, dudes. The Mane6 dev team was comprised of people who were all really

I think it may be Dizzy, since she helped everyone out by repelling her somewhat revived mother.
