The laid-back and dignified Vampire, Slayer makes his return in Guilty Gear -Strive-! __________ Follow Arc System Works America, Inc. / arcsystemworksu / arcsystemworksu / arcsystemworksu / arcsystemworksu
Love that the super punch seems to suggest that like typical vampires he COULD look like a young man in his prime. He just CHOOSES to look like a dignified middle aged man because that's peak D A N D Y.
@@gabrielmpereira9628 Dandyism is a fighting philosophy invented by Slayer that focuses on efficiency in killing one's target in battle above all else, and for the sake of Dandyism itself. To partake in Dandyism one must hone their ability to kill as easily as they breath, and devote themselves to it completely. It's how he founded the Assassin's Guild and how they were so effective in their field. To quote the GG World entry: A form of chivalry. One: No matter how grim the situation, eliminating the target comes before all else: Even preserving one's own life. Two: One must hone their skills so that killing comes as naturally as breathing. Three: It is not will, nor pride, nor victory, nor death that truly decides a battle. Nor is it the ability to manipulate or dominate others. The most important thing in life is, of course... DANDYISM!
@@ItIsBilsThat's sorta how Japanese talk TBF. I'm not sure if there's a better way to describe it, but they have a tendency to change their pitch depending on the context.
@@vivi7645Wow, I didn't know about that before - this is totally new stuff to me! I don't say "bad" words very often, but man, Sharon sure is one lucky bitch, isn't she?
@@vivi7645 Wow, I didn't know about that - this is the first time I've heard about something like that! Man, Sharon really is one of the luckiest woman in the world(not just the VG world, but the real world) right now, isn't she?
Man, when the poster was announced, we all knew that Slayer will 100% be the next DLC character... and to be honest, seeing him in that marvelous suit with that chill attitude sure is a beauty to behold! (Also, Sharon is back, too!) By the way, based on the name of his theme(Up and Down - which's a great name, by the way), I can feel like this is going to be a real fun one(plus, I can hear some snippets of his older theme(Jack-a-Dandy)... I can't wait to see what Daisuke-sensei, Naoki-san and the ArcSys team is cooking for the grand return of the vampire man!
Listen... I'm a new fan. So I don’t really know who this guy is. And I don’t really know what dandy means. But I already know he is not just peak dandyism, but peak as a whole.
0:43 After bloodsucking universe ( or maybe even normal grab) slayer hits axel and it says “universe” in the background and does the counter hit slowdown. Maybe he has a special mechanic that changes hits to counter hits after certain moves?
Quick look on Xrd dustloop shows that Bite gave him a buff that forced his next Special or Super to be a counterhit if he landed it, so probably something identical here with a unique "universe" background for clarity
@@Brntnugget dw im a strive baby too im just so invested in the community that i just happen to collect tiny bits of info about everything all the time
Nothing ever like arcsys when they r doing something.. the game is becoming really insane .. the animation something my words can’t save me to tell how cool and professional it is .. love arcsys and love guilty gear how they built the characters and they r unique from the all fighting games .. love you ggs and arcsys
The part I’m most excited for when a new character comes out is the music and let’s just say that I’ve watched this trailer 20+ times just to hear the snippets of the song DEAR LORD 🤤
This man looking so Dandy I almost want to boot up Strive again to try him out...and I never played Slayer in the OG games outside of an arcade/story mode before, lol.
So he's a vampire 🧛♂️ and a martial arts warrior full of chivalry, plus ➕️ his attire seems to be a cross between the Spirit and the Green Hornet and finally... he sorta gives off a serious, professional Batman vibe. Damn, this dude clearly must get underestimated so many times ⏲️ that it always ends up being way too late for his opponent to realize that he really is exactly who he claims to be.
@@nateescobales6930 Slayer is technically a retired assassin, and the former head of the Assassin's Guild. He just likes the scuffle. Sol and Gabriel are his usual sparring buddies.
The darkness is cleared by the morning sun, but in eternity I get used to it. Surrounded ... by precious things ... the heart turns into stone! Hardly a proper Bedtime story A happy ending in just a sad, short daytime! Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride, with ups and downs.
I like the jp voice a little more but this is pretty good too, aestetic wise it seems like hes abit darker and more serious than he was in xrd? Not sure if its just me, the shadows are deeper
i feel like the rematch comment could be talking about bedman, since in the japanese version mentions revenge, and the only person i would imagine Slayer wanting both revenge and a rematch against is bedman, one of the few people to make him try in a fight
