Revealed live on twitch 1/9/15 at 3pmEST

OMEN
To confirm this is the season 2 bonus character. This is the evil spirit that was in Jago that made him into Shadow Jago. Now that it has enough combat energy it has manifested itself and can fight on its own without a host.
  • decent dashes, AA, and pokes
  • Moves that let you build 2 bars of meter
  • has 3 whole bars of meter (confirmed an extra bar not just divided into 3rds)
  • can fire 11 random projectiles (Light fires 1, Med fires 2, Heavy fires 3...all are random so hard to read him)
  • has lightning leg mashable
  • big floaty jump and air dashes
  • Doesn't have to commit to jumps. Can tap down to fast fall similar to Smash Bros Short Hop Fast Fall Tech. Not certain if ShFFl is possible lol
  • long range slides that can go through you
  • can fire insane amounts of fireballs
  • can LOCK OUT OPPONENTS METER WITH PROJECTILES
  • Has homing projectiles and can spend meter to make them hit twice
  • has some projectiles that don't disappear when he's hit
  • has ourobouros and can spend meter to make them hit twice (5 orbs in instinct)
  • can spend meter on the ouroborous then the homing projectiles to fire them off and can mix and match to combine properties of each
  • has a shadow cancel that lets you move in any direction you want as a cancel that is invincible to confuse folks, make stuff safe, and go for mixups
  • HAS A COMMAND GRAB THAT CAN BE DONE FROM BLOCKSTRING THAT DOES 100% POTENTIAL DAMAGE...hit them after that and you win.


My kneejerk thoughts? Dis guy broke as fuck.

I'm thinking this is a damn joke character or something. I really am. None of this seems fair or balanced at all unless he has got abysmal health.

Saw him fight Sabrewulf. He takes pretty decent damage from a hit...he just gains so much meter and did so much damage that even on rushdown/mixup mindset mode (as Keits was trying) he could run it back pretty fast. He nailed him with that 100% Instinct grab for 3 bars after one combo put him up for it. Ran back the whole set on that moment.

The instinct mode stuff was pretty crazy. The lightning legs shot out a flurry of fireballs everywhere. Looked like bullethell. Theres no dodging it...you either get stopped and forced away, armor through it, or you block it. Wish Keits had gone in on runaway zoning given how good it looked. Just remember though that some of the tools needed meter so you had to go in. Of course when your projectiles are fast enough on startup to use point blank in block strings for pressure and some of them are lows, and its all random you get some pretty neat stuff. Pretty hard to read a combo if part of it is randomly low sometimes... Hell once you put his meter up to 2 levels of the homing shots or ourobouras they hit twice and counted as a true combo.

I wanna see how he works vs Spinal's shield and skull generation.

Yeah...that shit doesn't seem fair in the least, lol. Maybe he's going to be a 100% legit character, but I expect him to be toned down from God tier to A-S tier.

If he has poor health and is completely reliant on meter to do most of his work, then that slightly evens things out.

Is this a boss character?
He is gonna have to have some major toning down or hardly any health.

He's the Herald of Gargos...so yeah I'm guessing he is gonna be similar to one like how Shadow Jago was your big challenge character before. Even still...there is a reason in Guilty Gear XX you didn't get to play as I-No with the moves she had as a boss. This guy is a little much in his current iteration and his shadow cancels aren't even fully animated to be as confusing as they will be in the final version yet.

I understand if this was the story/arcade mode version but as a playable character it will be stupid. I am sure the other character reveals were not this crazy.

He's not even out or done yet, y'all need to chill. Keits even talked about how this character will be fucked when on the defensive & we saw that when they were playing Spinal against him.
