Late last week saw the launch of another new character in Guilty Gear Strive. Slayer is a fan-favorite in the series as one of the most powerful and classy of all characters. His hard-hitting offense comes to Strive with a few new devastating tricks that make him an interesting closer for Guilty Gear Strive’s Season 3 series of characters, and today we’re going to show off what he can do.

Slayer has been in Guilty Gear since Guilty Gear XX (or Guilty Gear X2). He’s a Nightwalker, which is Guilty Gear’s version of vampires. Much like Nagoriyuki, he’s immensely powerful canonically and has an incredible array of vampiric abilities to disorient and devastate his opponents with big damage. In Strive, his Dandy Step remains his signature move, allowing him to move quickly into several different follow-ups.

Join us as we go live with Slayer in Guilty Gear Strive on the Shacknews Twitch channel at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET. You can also watch below.
