Guilty Gear Strive has officially added I-No to the roster. She was revealed during the 2nd Annual Japan Fighting Game Publishers Roundtable, where the Arc System Works team elaborated on what players can expect from the returning character. Toshimichi Mori, Daisuke Ishiwatari, and Akira Katano were present to represent Guilty Gear Strive. The other participants of the roundtable included Capcom, SNK and Bandai Namco.

The time-traveling witch looked like a formidable character as she shredded not just her guitar, but also her opponents. Her combos seem to be a seamless integration of hand-to-hand combat and sound blasts from her stringed instrument. I-No also uses some space controlling projectiles for when she’s up against defensive opponents.

We aren’t yet privy to her super, as the reveal trailer cuts off just as it’s initiated. However, we do get a short peek at a huge sound setup with multiple speakers before the video ends. If we had to guess, she’ll be amplifying her guitar soundwaves to perform some kind of rock and roll super.

Another piece of news that came out during the fighting game developers live stream was that Samurai Shodown and Guilty Gear will collaborate via a crossover. A Guilty Gear character will be coming to Samurai Shodown. The announcements also included a special Saiko x Guilty Gear watch available for purchase. Unfortunately, I-No’s reveal was leaked only hours before her reveal.

Late last month, Arc System Works released a trailer showcasing the various modes coming to Guilty Gear Strive. It included Story Mode, GG World, Gallery Mode, and the Online Mode. In an interview with 4Gamer, creator Daisuke Ishiwatari, said, “For this title, we felt like we needed to appeal to both people that have never played a fighting game and to those who enjoy the modern style of fighting games, therefore, we emphasized accessibility during development.”

Guilty Gear Strive will be coming to PS4, PS5, and PC on April 9. The starting roster will feature 15 fighters. The beta is currently available with 13 characters and two game modes as well. It also features the roll-back netcode feature which recreates an offline experience in an online setting and alleviates most latency issues between players. It enables players from any part of the world to match with negligible lag.
