As a seasoned fighting game enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I have witnessed the evolution of Guilty Gear as a series and its community through thick and thin. The anticipation for each new installment in this beloved franchise is always palpable, and Guilty Gear Strive is no exception.
Along with the standard excitement for an Evo competition, this event includes a qualifier for the Arc World Tour Platinum series and the anticipation of unveiling new characters for Season 4.
As a gamer, I can tell you that Guilty Gear Strive stands out in the Evo 2024 lineup with its unique charm. Although it’s not the freshest addition compared to upcoming games like TEKKEN 8 or Mortal Kombat 1, it still holds its ground. Unlike Street Fighter III, which boasts a legacy tournament, Guilty Gear Strive isn’t as ancient in the fighting game scene.
At Evo 2024, Guilty Gear Strive makes its appearance as a recognized competitive game, boasting a rich history and intricate gameplay equilibrium. Following this esports event promises to be engaging! Simultaneously, GGST remains new and exciting with the upcoming release of Season 4 characters and gameplay modifications.
At the Guilty Gear Strive Evo 2024 tournament, it’s highly likely that we’ll find out who the next character will be revealed. We can be certain that the winner of the tournament will be crowned the next Evo champion for Guilty Gear Strive.

GGST Arc World Tour Platinum
The Arc World Tour 2024 kicked off with Evo Japan, resulting in numerous qualifiers for Guilty Gear Strive. Not all of these events have been as elite as Evo 2024. Platinum-level AWT tournaments offer substantial points to top performers. Winners secure their invitations to the Arc World Tour 2024 Global Finals event directly.
In fact, there are only four Platinum qualifiers in the Arc World Tour 2024.
- Evo Japan 2024: TempestNYC won it
- Evo 2024
- VSFighting XII: August 16-18, in the UK
- Ultimate Fighting Arena 2024: September 13-15, in France
Certainly, there are other tournaments that grant Gold qualification status, like “The MIXUP 2024” which just occurred or the upcoming FV Major 2024 scheduled for July 27-28 in Malaysia. Competitors amass league points to secure a spot among the top 10 on the worldwide leaderboard and gain entry into the Grand Finals.
Guilty Gear Strive Season 4 characters
A lively esports community is crucial for a fighting game to stay vibrant and engaging. Moreover, introducing fresh characters keeps the gameplay exciting and new. In the case of Guilty Gear Strive, Slayer was revealed as the final DLC character for Season 3. Who will join the roster next?
Each new season introduces notable adjustments to Guilty Gear Strive’s gameplay, as developers tweak character abilities through nerfs and buffs. Do you recall how powerful Sol Badguy was during Season 1? It’s astonishing that UMISHO claimed victory at CEO 2024 with Sol – an extraordinary achievement, particularly against Leo Whitefang from TempestNYC in their matchup.
As a dedicated gamer of Guilty Gear Strive, I’m excited to share that this game isn’t shy about introducing fresh super moves and even novel common mechanics. Who knows what delightful surprises Season 4 might have in store for us?
Guilty Gear Strive history at Evo
Winning an Evo tournament puts your name in the annals of fighting game history, with shining letters to signify your success. The esteem and recognition accorded to this accomplishment is undeniably lofty. So far, Guilty Gear Strive has produced two such accomplished players.
