Next GGXrd Character to be Determined by In-Game Voting

    • Early this morning, Arc System Works held their special Guilty Gear Xrd - Revelator - Launch Event on Nico Live.

    As a special announcement, it was revealed that the next batch/round of characters to debut in Xrd will be determined by an in-game voting system, which subsequently means that this voting system will currently only be open to players in Japanese Arcades. Hit the jump for more specific info on this interesting turn regarding your favorite missing characters from the Guilty Gear universe.

As was explained by Daisuke Ishitawari & Pachi during the stream, the voting process will occur in-game, requiring a player to defeat arcade mode - in which turn they can then vote for their favorite character to appear in the next round of reveals.

Characters which are eligible include every fan favorite that was present in Xrd's predecessor: Guilty Gear Accent Core +R.

As some characters which are noticeably absent from Xrd were extremely popular among the Guilty Gear fan base (ie. Bridget/Dizzy), those whose transition to the Xrd gameplay mechanics would no doubt make for an interesting inclusion (ie. Zappa/Robo-Ky), as well as create potential time/story paradoxes in the Xrd lore (ie. Kliff/Justice/HOS) - this makes the stakes incredibly high. 

Players can view which characters are current in the voting polls by visiting the official Guilty Gear Xrd Players Guild. 

At this time, it is not known if non-AC+R characters (ie. Raven/GG2 chars) will be included in the voting process or not, nor how long exactly the voting will be open/run for. 

Stay tuned to Dustloop.com for updates and information regarding this process as it becomes available.

I'm a little confused on how that picture is ordering the character. Axl then A.B.A makes sense, but then I-No and then Venom? Ordered in Hiragana or something?

Am I missing something, or was linking to the guild site pointless because you need to have played Revelator to see the poll info? I can't see it at least. I want to know who is even in the poll / how it works...

Regardless, only people who play the arcades in Japan can probably vote.

Also there is no mention of GG2 characters either.

If this was just your average popularity poll then I would say it would be a toss up between Dizzy or Bridget [leaning more toward Dizzy] since those two ranked high in Arc Sys popularity polls reliably, but now the voting sample will be limited to those showing up to JPN arcades and have to be good enough to at least clear arcade mode. Not to mention I don't think there is anything against spamming arcade mode runs for your favorite with this method. Honestly this is more of a toss-up in general now.

The link for the Player's Guild in the article is for the Sign Player's Guild. Here's the Revelator Player's Guild.

Thanks for the update on the Player's Guild site.
