The biggest patch of the latest patch notes is the brand-new character. Although the game has already got a big roster, a fresh DLC character has been put into the playable roster. We’re getting Elphelt Valentine, a new character that you can play as. You’ll be able to get them as a standalone character. However, you can also get them by purchasing the Guilty Gear Strive Season 3 Pass. If you’ve already got other characters in the DLC, you’ll likely get a new character as you install this update.

However, it’s not just a fresh character, there are the other normal add-ons that are coming too.

  • Elphelt Valentine Theme in Extras
  • Elphelt Valentine Avatar Items
  • BGM in Gallery Mode

Johnny is being made available in the game with the latest update. He is a new playable character, who is purchasable independently of as part of the wider Guilty Gear Strive Season 3 Pass. He’s coming with a new theme, Just learn. There are also new avatar items along with themes from Guilty Gear XX and Xrd in the Gallery.

Main Menu

One of the weirder changes in the latest Guilty Gear Strive patch notes is the main menu. It’s been changed around quite a bit with the locations and other options being shuffled. This might take a second to get used to, so don’t be surprised if something’s not in its normal spot.

Online Match Changes

The latest update has also changed up the visual design of the lobby. There’s also going to be a visual indicator of the current player count before you select a floor now, so you can see how many players are active. A new Africa region will be available too.

There are a few quality-of-life improvements along with the changes to the lobby. You can now follow, block, and report players directly and in the contact menu. That’s along with selecting items from the shortcut menu.

In addition to these smaller changes, there have been some minor balancing changes to just about every character featured in the game. These aren’t too big, but they should rebalance the Guilty Gear Strive tier list, especially when you consider there’s a brand-new character coming into the game as well.

This most recent Guilty Gear Strive patch notes wasn’t the only update however. Arc also pushed it out alongside the final balance update in FighterZ patch notes. Although, while Arc is pushing both out Guilty Gear Strive is far from over. Johnny is just the first of a whole new batch of characters we can expect to arrive in the future.


Guilty Gear Strive 1.28 Patch notes

Guilty Gear Strive has just received another new patch! Hot on the heels of Asuka R reveal, we got a quick balance update to correct some areas of the game alongside all of the new DLC content. Since then, another patch has come in 1.28. These latest Guilty Gear Strive patch notes aren’t as big as those that bring another new character in, but it does have some changes coming.

The latest Guilty Gear patch notes arrived in mid-June, bringing some new content into the game and some fixes to problems. This patch isn’t the biggest, not delivering any new characters. However, it has brought some small pieces for fans to enjoy in the lead-up to events like EVO 2023. These are all of the changes in the Guilty Gear Strive 1.23 patch.

  • New music added – Rock and Roll, Rock Hard Maniac (Season 2 Theme)
  • A digital figure for Asuka R# added into the game.
  • Bedman? Figure has been fixed.
  • Network Mode – An error with avatars not working properly in online lobbies has been fixed.
  • Spelling and grammar changes to copy in-game.

The Guilty Gear Strive patch notes for 1.23 are definitely on the smaller side! It’s a little strange for this to be its own standalone patch, but Arc is clearly hard at work at the next big upgrade coming to the game.


Asuka R won’t be tournament legal for a while, but the other changes from Patch 1.27 and earlier will have ramifications on upcoming fighting game esports tournaments. This is what’s changed with the older Guilty Gear Strive patch notes.

Guilty Gear Strive Patch Notes – Patch 1.27

The new Guilty Gear Strive patch notes cover the 1.27 patch! This is largely concerned with adding the latest Guilty Gear Strive character into the game. There’s more in the update though including some improvements to the overall experience.

Asuka R Added

The big part of this new patch is Asuka R getting added in to the game. He’ll be joining the cast as a playable character, available to download from May 25. It’s included in the Guilty Gear Season Pass 2 too, if you’ve been keeping up with all of the DLC characters.

Alongside the fighter, there’s a few other new things added in as part of this DLC. There is the Asuka theme, the Gravity, avatar items for Asuka, and That Man in Gallery. There’s also a fresh DLC stage Tír na nÓG, and new DLC colors for the Guilty Gear 25th Anniversary.

All of the DLC content is coming on May 25th.

New Digital Figure in Guilty Gear Strive Patch Notes

In the Guilty gear Strive patch notes for 127, there’s a brand-new digital figure. This is for Bedman? The last DLC character to get added into the game. That’s available once you find it while fishing.

Network Mode Changes in Guilty Gear Patch Notes

The Guilty Gear Patch notes for 1.27 have a fair bit of new content getting added in. We might have finally gotten a character that was previously only accessible through Guilty Gear mods. However, there’s also some important fixes coming to the game. The network mode for Guilty Gear Strive is getting a few fixes with the latest update. These are the changes.

  • Problem when entering online lobbies has been fixed.
  • Issues with opponents connecting at beginning of matches fixed.
  • Online matches not starting while in training mode fixed
  • Fixed problem with some players getting too high ping randomly in games.
  • Fixed other network issues
  • These are some of the more long-standing problems in the network mode for Guilty Gear Strive. These patches fix a lot of the problems though.

Other Changes in Guilty Gear Strive Patch Notes 1.27

Although the new character and alterations to network are big, there’s also been some more minor changes.

  • Fixed aerial attack bug
  • Fixed issue for performing throws
  • Battle Animation changes

Those are all of the big changes in Guilty Gear Strive Patch 1.27. We’ve gotten a new character though. While most characters haven’t been changed, getting a new match up against Asuka is going to introduce some new elements to the game no matter who you play.


Guilty Gear Strive Patch Notes –Patch 1.26

Piror to this patch, we’ve had plenty of updates for GGS. Guilty Gear Strive patch notes for 1.26 made the addition of a new character and a whole host of changes to the game. As well as adding Bedman? to Strive in these Guilty Gear Strive patch notes, we’ve also gotten fresh changes to loads of characters. Plus, even a substantial update to the online to iron out a few bugs.

These changes are going to affect every character in the game. From changing their kit to adding different matchups. There might be some movement in the Guilty Gear Strive tier list once the patch settles! This is everything that’s changed and what to watch out for in the newest Guilty Gear Strive patch notes.

Guilty Gear Patch Notes – Patch 1.26

The latest Guilty Gear patch heralds the arrival of a brand-new character in DLC! There are a few other changes being made across this patch though. This is everything that’s in the 1.26 Guilty Gear Strive patch notes.

New Character in. Guilty gear Strive Patch Notes – Bedman?

Bedman? has been added to the game! He’s now playable as a DLC Guilty Gear character. However, there’s more than a character, there are also avatar items.

Network Mode

Errors have been fixed in the online experience for an easier time when using search ID to create a player match room. There have also been changes to combat unauthorized network signals.

Battle Changes

The big change in all fights is that Roman Cancel will now activate on either hit or whiff of the attack. You can’t input it to only activate with the attack whiffs anymore. There are some other all-over mechanic changes too.

  • Input Priority – Air backdash has higher priority than air dash now.
  • Wall Stick – Fixed bug that effect position when wall sticking.
  • Visual Changes

  • Potemkin – Slide Head can now knock an opponent out after Wall Break
  • Faust – The scarecrow has been changed. It’s got an error fixed in the Faust Guilty Gear moves to keep his positioning straight.
  • Zato-1 – Hitbox for amorphous is now always active in the stage corner.
  • Ramlethal – Banjoneto has an error fixed.
  • Leo Whitefang – Can now overwrite Faultless Defense during Super Flash
  • Giovanna – Same changes as Leo. Although, with some differences.
  • Anji Mito –Super Flash can now initiate right after a successful counter
  • I-No – Air and Back air dash now have consistent timing with the other characters.
  • Happy Chaos – Some errors have been fixed. However, minor changes here.
  • Sin Kiske – Hawk Baker’s follow-up can’t be roman cancelled anymore.

We haven’t seen changes for everyone, there are no alterations to Baiken in Guilty Gear Strive V1.26. However, with the introduction of a new character, everything is changing in one way. Everyone has a new matchup to think about, which opens the game up in a big way at least once players actually figure out how do something with Bedman.
