I agree. Sol may have generic aspects but people won’t forget him at all. His design and his moves(grand Viper being my personal favorite) does make him stick out. So what if some characters have traits that have been seen before? The way the were implemented in GG makes that character stand out.
Anyway I can’t wait to see the next set of vids. I wonder how my boy Ragna will shape up. Can’t wait to see Bang in action as well. I hope he has an attack or two in which he yells BANG.
Exactly, its the uniqness of every character in his moves, desings, BGM, the character story, the quotes, the voices, the way that the every char blends with the whole world of gg that make the cast of GG very enjoyable and unforgateble, thats why i assume that the people feel a little unconfortable with some members of the cast of bb, but is ASW this chars have too much too offer, im totally sure that when the people get acostumed with the game they will forget all the silly complaints that we have now
From way downtown… BANG.
The amateurish translations are back in force! Note that some parts are near illegible, so take this with an extra grain of salt.
Shishigami Bang
“???ki afureru Ninja no Touryou” (“The Ninja leader overflowing with ???”)
Bang lost his hometown during the Ikaruga wars (not sure whether it was destroyed or if he merely had to leave it, but my money is on the former). I think he is/was the leader of his ninja clan. He has a strong sense of duty as well as a wide streak of compassion (? he puts much importance in human feelings, unlike Jin), and is fiercely courageous and loyal.
I believe he aims to free his brothers/brethren (in the literal or colloquial sense?) from imprisonment in Kagutsuchi’s more rundown parts. He wishes to defend love and peace in Kagutsuchi by driving out those who violate the tenets of justice (?), and sets out to punish the great villain Ragna.
(Galford crossed with Keiji Maeda (BASARA) and Chipp?)
Carl Clover
“Togajin wo oishi ningyoutsukai” (“The puppetmaster who pursues criminals”)
Height: 144 cm.
Weight: 35 kg.
Date of birth: 5/5
Blood type: AB
Origin: Austria
Hobbies: Playing the violin, chess
Likes/dislikes: I cannot make them out, you will have to wait… :sad:
Voice actress: Miyuki ???
Carl is a first-class hunter of criminals (bounty hunter?). Despite his tender age, his talent and skills are very impressive. Together with the enigmatic puppet “Nirvana”, he travels the world eliminating felons. He sets out for Kagutsuchi to face his next target, Ragna=The=Bloodedge (or obtain information about him/his whereabouts?). Carl always conducts himself in a courteous manner, never allowing his smile to fade. Not even when confronting his target…
Drive: Automaton
Carl’s Drive button is used to manipulate the Nirvana puppet. With combinations of the directions and the D button (f+D, b+D, etc.?), the puppet can perform various movements and attacks. Carl is quick but has short range on his attacks, while the Nirvana is the opposite. Carl players should use skilful cooperation between the two characters to win.
Carl Winslow: (-) I’m a man of the 90’s.
Harriette Winslow: Yes, Carl. Unfortunately, it’s the 1890’s.
(Family Matters)
BTW, I strongly detest penguins and robo-versions of characters, and anything resembling Slash from G’n’R would simply be off in this game. Hence, I approve of Carl’s design. Now if he would rid himself of the top hat and spectacles and wholly embrace the Soujiro Seta/Chris/Sai “smile while performing atrocity” mindset, I would not hesitate to vote him the most interesting/best designed character in the roster.
ooh Carl looks kinda fun
maybe / hopefully
My main Ragna got the heat on him. The man can’t catch a break. Why can’t the Chinese chick and Noel chase after him instead?
Thanks for the info umgogo.
So he’s a combination of Eddie and Lieselotte from Arcana Heart with a Bridget type of story.
I’ll definitely try him out.
I still don’t dig some of his character design, he reminds me of Dorothy Albright from AH2 and I never liked her character design, but at least Carl’s design is a little better.
ok after watching your vid hellmonkey, i’m really hype for noelle, she looks like EXACTLY what I want out of that type of character, ability to zone and still have worthwhile melee when up close.
awesome
That Shota pretty much discourages me from trying this game out…I mean Bao I can handle but THIS?! I MEAN THE KID’S GOT HIS OWN SEX MACHINE/ROBO SLAVE!
Posting from Juarez, Mexico…
Retreat!
These desings!
Minor update
Arakune
Height?20-200 cm.
Weight?5-1000 kg.
Date of birth?Unknown
Blood type?Unknown
Place of birth?Unknown
Hobby?Unknown
Precious things?Knowledge
Despised things?Ignorance
As its throught processes and values differ significantly from those of humans, it is difficult to interpret its speech and mannerisms (I believe that should be the other way around). The only thing that is clear is that it is fervently seeking knowledge.
It seems I made a translation error earlier - when the opponent is cursed by Arakune’s “Crimson” Drive, Arakune’s attacks (and not the opponent’s) are what prompt the insects to appear. Also, the insects appear when the attack button is released (as opposed to when it is pressed), and different buttons yield different insects/angles from which they attack. By combining attacks with bug releases (I am guessing jump-in B, release B, standing string, bug hits… is an example), damaging combos can be done.
Arakune is recommended for players who rely more on basic moves than special moves (it has few of those?) and who relish stringing together technical/creative (and difficult) combos.
Litchi Faye Ling
Height?170 cm.
Weight?58 kg.
Date of birth?7/7 (date and month are the same, just like Carl)
Blood type?AB (also like Carl…)
Place of birth?Shanghai
Hobby?Mah-Jong
Precious things?Kami - Laochu (the panda in her hair)
Despised things?Indecisive people
Apparently, her kind personality changes when she is under the influence of sake.
It seems her unarmed attacks (used after placing her staff somewhere on the screen) are visually identical to her armed ones, only with less range (and no staff, obviously). Shouldn’t that mean that some moves would make her look like she were swinging an invisible weapon? 
Apart from her returning staff techniques, most of her normal and special attacks are rather basic? She is recommended for those who enjoy playing as “onee-san”-type characters (slightly bossy females?) and those who wish to battle with “Kung Fu-star”-like acrobatic moves.
yep, thats me.
Mained.
Sold
So she’s Jam x Bridget playstyle wise, huh?
That just makes me want to play her more; I hope she has a redhead pallet (Kung-Fu Yoko FTW).
No-Face Shinigami Sama looks and sounds awesome as well, as does Detective Conan and his futuristic sex robot. This game has just gotten weirder and more interesting as info’s come out.
jeez…it’s like I’ll be transposing my mains from Guilty Gear into BB…lol I love it.
i wana main ragna bc he loks like a combo freak. but im scared hes gona b the sol/shoto of the game. and if thats the case everyone is gona play him and i hate playin chars everyone plays lol
Wait til you guys see Bang Shishigami in action… He’s really slick.
Sounds very promising 
After watching videos of this game, I’m a little disapointed with the direction it’s headed. Yes the graphics do look good. But the characters look to much like their GG counter parts. The blood guy is clearly Sol, the Jin guy looks kind of like ky and his gameplay footage looks like a hybrid of Ky and Johnny. And how can that one guy not be Pokemon’? He’s got damn near most of his moves. BOO THIS GAME, BOO!!!
Hopefully the final product will be a lot better. It just seems like it’s a carbon copy of GG to me right now. They should have just moved the GG story forward and added these characters. How hard is it to do that?
ONEZ
Look at the bright side, there is a good possibility they might make a Guilty Gear vs. BlazBlue, BlazGear or Guilty Blue!!
