What to expect from the first DLC character in GGST Season 4?

Another greatly weird (in a good sense) character joins this anime fighting game. GGST Queen Dizzy is one of the fan favorites. She is half-Gear and has two guardians, depicted as her two wings. Dizzy is the daughter of Justice, a being who started the war between Gears and humanity.

Still, the girl is not involved too much in it, and she is not too much against the destruction. Despite her look, Queen Dizzy is just a small kid — as her kind grows quickly thanks to the ability to absorb information and develop wisdom.

Sure, the story behind a character is not the most important part in fighting games. Her appearance and qualities as a fighter are a decision-making factor for the players. Everything about Queen Dizzy in Guilty Gear Strive is here.

When does Queen Dizzy join Guilty Gear Strive?

The release date for GGST Queen Dizzy is Oct. 31, 2024. This was announced alongside a teaser trailer for this Guilty Gear character at the Tokyo Game Show 2024.

In the short video, we can see Queen Dizzy on a Guilty Gear Strive stage. She enjoys the moment: a bird brings her a flower, and the girl puts it into her hair. Sol Badguy approaches, and the two characters get ready for a fight.

Arc System Works showed the character trailer for Queen Dizzy during Paris Games Show 2024. You can watch it right here, as the vidoe is embedded below.

It's pretty obvious that Queen Dizzy remains a zoner, like in previous Guilty Gear games. The guardians affect her abilities: she attack with fire or freezes her opponents and damages them with ice.
