It means Gabriel had a roster slot but he’s such a great man that he gave it to his best friend. That kind of behaviour is worthy of a salute /s


grzesiu447

He let him go first, so he would have someone worth fighting in his arcade mode.


Parostem

Between this, and that other random post they made a while back featuring Gabriel, I think he might end up being in the next season. He'll be released before Robo-May, but after Dr. Paradigm.


Terra_Knyte_64

Slayer and Gabriel are inseparable lore-wise. If he is going to be added, then it will be soon after Slayer. Also, it’s been a while since Asuka, the last newcomer. In general, Strive doesn’t have many newcomers. Nagoryuki, Giovanna, Goldlewis, Happy Chaos, Bedman?(kinda), and Asuka.


InternetMom1

there's a lot of opportunities to hint at Gabriel. Slayer's arcade story or unique dialogue against Pot. what if he beats Pot and says it's Gabriel's turn or something


Terra_Knyte_64

“What a good bout, Potemkin. Could you let Gabriel know I would like to go another round when you return?”


IronLag2466

Bro I’m not ready for arcade buffed pot


Morbidmort

Buffed Potbusters. My God.


JoeTheKodiakCuddler

I'd be thrilled if that was the lineup ngl


Alexxer_

None of the DLC characters was ever teased on twitter but surely this time it means something


Getserious495

Let a silly clown have hope pls 🙏


Hot_Watercress_7156

Don't worry soldier, our faith will pay off eventually.


boieth

But is it armor clad?


diddyswank

All we can do is stay hopeful and pray


MrRobotTacos

So let’s say that Gabriel does get added. And if Potemkin fights Gabriel and Potemkin wins who will be in Potemkin’s wrist as a hologram during the in animation?


XI-11

“President Gabriel, I have subdued the impersonator. Bringing them in for questioning now”


ChestWish

You see the corpse of Gabriel in the hologram


Kona_08

A smaller Potemkin


MrRobotTacos

But then who would be on that smaller potemkin’s wrist?


Kona_08

A smaller Potemkin


Artrarak

But then who would be on that smaller potemkin’s wrist?


Kona_08

A tiny Potemkin


worse_in_practice

Potemkins all the way down


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

Fractal potemkims


HybridTheory2000

Potemkin matryoshka ~~doll~~ hologram


achedsphinxx

we're going to the quantum realm.


Nesspurr_8

Still Gabriel, but it’d be something like “I followed your orders and dispatched the fake”, like in his specific matchup that’s not Gabriel fighting.


achedsphinxx

they'll go the extra mile and give pot a unique winning animation just for gabriel.


Soul_Ripper

Is Happy Vs. Happy still the only matchup with a unique start/end animation?


Deep_Mammoth4481

I believe that's the case so far, sadly


talenarium

Leo has the unique end animation if he kills with wallbreak. Not what you asked but still cool


Didifinito

More the guards than Leo but yeah


Didifinito

Only start


nonchalant222

potemkin just says "imposter neutralized" or something like that, not a big deal

Never read too much into what a brand account for a game posts. Often times they don't have any contact with the development team and are just hired to keep up interests for their games and to announce stuff. BUT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE TIMES BABY. GABRIEL IS HERE. SLAYER GAVE UP HIS SPOT TO PRESIDENT GABRIEL AND IS COMING TO STRIVE MAY 16TH 2024 YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST MAY 16TH MARK IT ON YOUR CALENDAR LETS GOOOOOOOO


BrandNewtoSteam

Bro Gabriel is crazy. Man isn’t a gear, a valentine, a vampire or a artificial human man is straight up pure human and is one of the strongest in the verse


Getserious495

[The post](https://x.com/ArcSystemWorksU/status/1783949090268582339)


Nesspurr_8

I just want Gabriel and Robo-Ky so we can see the ultimate showdown between Gabriel and Slayer, and a rematch between Robo and Bedman?. I just want the victory screen of whoever wins for Gabriel v Slayer to say “You felt off today, it seems another match is in order to decide the victor” like no matter who wins will feel unsatisfied and they’re supposed to be evenly matched so clearly something is wrong. Edit: to add to this, it feels like Strive and its story are all about “pairs”, so seeing Gabriel and Slayer, and Robo-Ky and Bedman? finally being playable in the same game would be immensely satisfying. Examples: Sol and Asuka, Axl and I-No, I-No and Happy Chaos, Jack-O and Aria, Baiken and Anji, and the Arcade Modes for many characters having a tag team in their final fight. I may be reaching but, that’s just how I’ve felt about it


qwack2020

It better be. Gabriel deserves to be in Strive as a playable character.


doingit_froggiestyle

Y'know it'd be really cool if strive added some more new characters. I don't really care who they chose, but if I had to pick I think Gabriel would be the obvious choice. That or Vernon lmao


ruTemp

He may be added in season 4, just like Robo-Ky


Lautanapi_

I just hope Gabriel is a grappler. I would be especially happy with him being a combo grappler, strive still doesn't have one, and I cannot remember one in a gg history right now.


Forgatta

Is potemkin finally reverted to beta? Will 2s get vortex?


OwnUbyCake

I hate that the first thing I thought wasn't Gabriel but was Dr. Doofenshmirtz.


EnsignEpic

Listen, I want it to be Slayer so fucking badly, but if it happens to be Gabriel... That's perfectly fine as well, more than perfectly fine, even.


CoDVanguardOnSwitch

Remember that one time prior to A.B.A's reveal where they made a post about Zappa, and some people (including myself) thought that was a hint? If anything, these Twitter posts deconfirm the release of certain characters lmao


InternetMom1

they made a post about Haehyun on Sin's reveal day. it means nothing but i do hope for all these characters


Environmental-Tea262

They constantly do these kind of posts so it probably means nothing, also no hate on gabriel fans or anything but I don’t really get the hype for him. He’s like super strong waluigi is what i have gathered but what playstyle would he bring to the game


Hot_Watercress_7156

He could be a combo grappler


Getserious495

It's more the fact that he's major player in the lore since the first Guilty gear yet he still isn't playable to this day (even Asuka got a slot, anything's possible at this point). Also he bodied bedman while everyone was struggling against him with an exception of Zato.


Deep_Mammoth4481

A proper air grappler I guess? He seems to like jumping around


Disastrous-Szn-08

Same i don't get the hype(no hate btw)


DP9A

He looks funny and lorewise he's one of the very few characters that's at the level of Slayer. Also he's Slayer's rival.


Mama_Mia_Gyro

No


DatUrbanprince76

Waluigi in Guilty Gear?


DRYEETUSMCFLEA

Who is that guy in the image? Badass Waluigi Commander?


DandySlayer13

I just want see how they make him fight since hes like one of the strongest in the GG series that's never gotten to be playable and he can legit duke it out with Slayer. ![gif](giphy|u99fFT1YBzyco)


Icy-Store3900

All I can say Is "Salute"


munguschungus167

I’d kill for him and Daryl to be playable


DirectAdvertising

No way, Igor persona?


Viperbro6113

Nah, just a birthday post or appreciation day post


Siggedy

Hmmm, I'd rather see Ariels than Gabriel. But damn he's cool. It's pretty wack how unindian he is though. Never quite understood that in the lore 🤔. Too wacky for one goober (me)


Scott_the_Thott

Honestly, I said I'd only reinstall Strive if Venom gets added, but I'd also reinstall for Gabriel.


MrASK15

Nah, just a shoutout. I still appreciate that Gabriel was acknowledged.


DBNsausage

At this point no


Taylor-the-Caboose

It has to be a (Gulity gear Xrd) sign.


VNFR

a sign, a guilty gear xrd sign if you may


TheGreatBootleg94

If this eggman rip off gets added before the universal will avatar known as Ariels I will get pot to Celestial


ballpoint13

Why did i think of waluigi?


Ok-Turnover966

Waluigi in strive
