Nero (dmc 4/5) for strive?

[Bec Son]

ok before you go witch hunting me for suggesting a guest character, how cool would he be though? he fits perfectly into style with his dmc5 outfit, his style is unique and gives him fun mixups, like 85% of his moves are optimized for fighting games just change the directions a bit.

devil trigger bar could be built off of combo, more combo you do the more charge
allowing him to enter dt form, sort of like ky's but less situational
I already have ideas on his supers, intros and taunts.

Intro: devil may cry van/nico's van pulls up and he kicks the door open ala his fight with goliath https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z2RW7R47zU while putting his arm on

first super: insane animation super, Showdown similar to baikens but when only when dt form is on
second super: a combo which he uses all of his devil breakers made by nico or at least some of them in a way to show them off and end by using buster arm to suplex the opponent

dt form: allows for a bit more damage but also reach, letting him get a bit more reach in wise with his sword but also small projectiles if he charges his gun

taunts: the clap where he taunts the opponent to come get him and his air guitar taunt, which i would hope would sync up to his song

song would most likely be a cover of Devil Trigger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WpnPSChVRQ


While I understand that its a fight to get him into the game I just think he'd be a good fit (also he has NOT gotten a fighting game spot, which i find weird). like maybe an end of season character to add after all the returning or planned fighters

Guilty Gear doesn't really do crossover characters, this isn't MK11 or anything.
Asking for Vergil to be in a mainline Gear game is like asking for Kratos to be in Wolfenstein, it doesn't really make any sense.

If you want Vergil in the game just look to the modding community then, I think I remember seeing a Dante/Vergil mod over Ky.

ok i understand the whole no guest thing but, also im not talking about vergil. im talking about nero.. i feel like you just glanced past the the stuff i talked about and saw white haired son of sparta thats blue and went "oh vergil"

[nwad]

I'd buy it. Maybe in a BBTAG type game.

if GG bring collab like this instead releasing all character from previous series, includes EX version, im not gonna buy this franchise again

while i get the bringing back old characters that have yet to get the spotlight for a long while, i personally dont like bringing back just already recent characters like slayer. just feels like going "oh we forgot this character, lets put him in a slot that we wont expand upon"

but why the hate towards a single collab character? just one time only

Because DMC and GG have almost no overlap. If we were going to have a guest character, someone from Blazblue makes infinitely more sense. At the very least, it should be a character that originates from a fighting game.

I don't think this game can have a guest character, it'd just be strange looking.
I don't want to gamble on tryin.

ok hold on, the dmc 5 art style is honestly so similar to strive.

Nero and axl honestly share v similar punk looks, unless you meant another looking. https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Nero?file=Nero+DMC5.png

besides the "no guest characters absolutely not" why would he not fit in it???

devil may cry series is quite literally a cousin of GG in style, story, and gameplay (seriously this game is a combo fighter that does translate really well into 2d fighters

music too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUaBL5lpPdI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WpnPSChVRQ

this isnt me asking daisuke to "sellout" or "expand the series to have ONLY guest characters taking up slots", im not asking for mk, street fighter, super smash brothers crossover but just a single character that has the same style that fits p well into strive already.

is there anything besides "ABSOLUTELY NO GUEST CHARACTERS, ♥♥♥♥ YOU" cuz i understand wanting old characters like Aba or Zappa but also sometimes we cant just keep putting the same characters that just get reintroduced as dlc, feels lazy?

Again, a fighting game rep would make more sense. The *only* guest character that wouldn't come out of left field would be someone like Ragna from Guilty Gear's sister series Blazblue.

Also

The art direction of both DMC and GG are very different.
DMC draws more from cheesy action movies and has shifted to a more realistic art direction over time.
GG draws from a strong anime influence, and even in strive still has a more anime aesthetic despite the grounded art direction.

Music-wise you'd have a point... pre-DMC5. GG has always been a love letter to hard rock and metal, and DMC prior to 5 drew its music influence from the same genre.
However, Nero's theme in 5 is very much not that. That isn't to say that Strive hasn't deviated from its rock origins, but it is still defined by its association, and the vast majority of themes still fall under the rock umbrella.
You'd have a better argument for Dante than Nero, in that regard.

TO bring it back to No Crossovers argument, this also holds water.
ArcSys very seldom crosses their series. Fans have wanted Guity Gear x Blazblue for years, but no dice. Guest characters? fuggetaboutit. The only time Arcsys included guest characters in any of their games was in the dedicated crossover game BBTAG, and even then Arcsys had a hand in 3 of the series that made up that crossover.

If you want Nero in a fighting game, beg Capcom to make another crossover title.

Honestly I can see Nero in a fighting game just not GG. His mechanics would get to complex for the game overall in the DMC5 aspect and just end up being comparatively underdeveloped and has things that other characters already have so hes not adding anything to the game for the DMC4 side.

I would love a guest character but as Kiyaya said. BB would be the better option... (plus I wanna see a BB character in 3D.)

yeaaah that i would understand though they have been talking about adding more moves in the game, so it seems the game is gonna be more complex later

[Shakeandbake]

The real question becomes by how much? Are we talking like Tekken changes were 1 new move sent a character from D tier right into A+? Y'know?
