15 characters in the main menu
Giovanna revealed as the newest Guilty Gear Strive character. She appears to be the bodyguard of the President of the United States.
Similar to Nagoriyuki, Giovanna is a newcomer to the Guilty Gear series. According to the developers, she intends to be a simple character to capture.
This new character appears fighting alongside a green dog or a wolf spirit of some kind. Notably, these two don’t seem to be separated from each other while playing.
Giovanna appears to be particularly adept at her kicks. Its trailer almost exclusively shows performance of kicks or attacks that use green wolf spirit.
Toward the end of the revelations, we were told that Guilty Gear Strive will launch in early 2021 with 15 characters in the base list. The next trailer for the character will air on January 1, 2021.
Based on what was shown, it appears that the 14th character is Mito Angie. Aside from DLC, there’s only one fighter that will be revealed for Guilty Gear Strive.
