Can’t you see I’m burning, burning?
At the Frosty Faustings XII tournament, which took place in Chicago this past weekend, Arc System Works dropped a brand new trailer for the upcomingGuilty Gear Strive, giving us our first decent look at the return of one of the weirdest characters in the history of fighting games:Faust.
Sporting an all-new look, Faust has traded in his at least somewhat normal suit and doctor’s coat for surgical scrubs, revealing more of his creepy, twisted body parts. From an art perspective, Faust is far more shadow-heavy, which replaces his typically comic appearance for an altogether more sinister visual aesthetic.
As you’re able to see from the new trailer, Faust is bringing his famously off-the-wall moveset to strive, with attacks that see him turn into a scarecrow, release cutesy familiars, and even chow down on his opponent. As expected, the sinister surgeon is coming equipped with his iconic oversized scalpel. All in all, Faust appears far more menacing – evenfrightening– than ever before.
Guilty Gear Striveis scheduled to launch on PS4 later this year. A coin-op version of the gamehas also been announced, and will be stationed in arcades in Japan whenGG Strivehits the market.
