Leo announced as DLC. Get it all out of your system here.

[Stellarcircle5]

I think making him a rushdown/grappler hybrid in the same vein as Bullet would be really interesting. GG hasn't really had one of those yet (I think?)

[DaiAndOh]

Yeah, getting real tired of these sword users. I want another grappler. Or at least a boxer/kung fu guy. I think the Guilty Gear team needs more creativity.

Following up from Fenrir's post about a BED, the other new fighters use a Gun (first Gun user in GG), a FLAG, and 2 familiars biting GIANT swords...not to mention these are wielded in a pretty unique matter from that piece of art...

You want another grappler? Well you lost all but one of your characters, try Pot and May.

Slayer is a boxer. Again, it seems you have to play a lot more characters to fill that void.

 

If you were sarcastic listing FG playstyle tropes while saying the GG team needs to be more unique, you got me!

Sol? :3

[Uncivilized Elk]

Having one command grab does not qualify you as a grappler.

Potemkin is still the only grappler.

^^^^^^^ Sol is not a character that relies on reads to win matchups. Watch Jonio, you will know what I mean. May has rush punches and really fat air normals, along with variable dolphin okizeme. Overhead kiss is just another touch to her game. Slayer's command grab is kinda booty and only there to keep the opponent scared. Doesn't even link into anything.

I would think that they'd make Gabriel playable if they wanted to do that.  He taught Potemkin how to fight, right?

[Rhannmah]

Why can't Leo play like, you know, Leo?

 

Oh, i'm absolutely 0% worried about his playstyle. He's gonna be awesome. The team behind Guilty Gear has a 100% track record at making never seen before, original gameplay styles. I mean, just look at Bedman if you have any doubts.

[AllyOfJustice]

We got a nigga in a bed. Like seriously what do you mean by "need more creativity? " what is a character whose gameplan revolves around reads and getting SPDs on people gonna do for creativity? Unless of course you give him a gun:p

 

You're not wrong.

Is El the first fighting game character that can freely aim and shoot around the screen with a non-super move? 

[huber]

are people really asking for the GG team to be more creative?  this place fucking sucks

[D.R.F.]

Lol

I mean haven't you seen a character like Elphelt before? Them bride ladies are always toting Winchester repeaters, gotta be careful of em.

[AllyOfJustice]

The innocent looking character with gun: Bulleta, kinda. And Peacock. But they're very different in terms of design, personality and gameplay.

Notorious troll etc.

I feed because I really need to process the "how..."

[Verimeloni]

Leo busts dual keyblades, Valor Form!

[D.R.F.]

Peacock aint cute. Awesome yea, but she's not cute

[ChexGuy]

Peacock aint cute. Awesome yea, but she's not cute

depends on your definition of "cute"

[D.R.F.]

Okay, I suppose. Either way this ain't about Leo, so I bid thee adieu. I'll be back when someone says something stupid:D

[Rhannmah]

yes

[Uncivilized Elk]

yes

 

I doubt it.

There's so many misc fighters out there nobody has heard of.

[klaww]

Since a lot of people have drawn parallels to his swords being like Draven's axes.  

I think it would be neat if there was some truth to that.  Like he uses his swords, dual-wielding and all.  Then maybe he can have a special where he throws them, and they lie there, like Milia's pin, until he picks em up.  and while he's not holding them he has lion-like moves, maybe he has claws or something.

[Sanger Zonvolt]

That sounds a lot like Maya from Killer Instinct.

[klaww]

I never extensively played KI so I was unaware. ._.  Thought I was popping out original ideas. ._.

[Ziggy_Stardust]

After listening to it again, I now demand that Slayer's Korean theme(Vampire Saga) be Leo's theme. It doesn't fit Slayer too well, but I feel like it's perfect for Leo.

[Rhannmah]

I doubt it.

The only other character i can think of that has something similar is Alessi from Capcom's Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, but it's not a free roaming target like Elphelt, it just moves forward until you fire.

[BladeOfJustice7]

"He possesses outstanding fighting capabilities and leadership. His feats include bringing troops on the brink of crisis back home safety back during the Holy War. He may seem boorish, but he is surprisingly prudent. Kai and he are old buddies, both friends and rivals."

 

Yo, Leo was a Holy Knight like Ky and Sol?! That's awesome if true, I was wondering when Daisuke would put more Holy Knights into GG than just the poster boys.

[ninjay]

When does Famitsu usually release?  I would like to see more images and see what his gameplay style will be.
