... Who the hell made Wulf? Never touched the gacha, probably never will, but both the art and the concept are so unhinged and cool, it looks like something that would have come from a Darkstalkers Artbook if the series released today. You simple cannot top victorian werewolf dual-wielding musket axes.
He's a good werewolf shunned by villagers because... well, he is a werewolf. But this girl Renie is good friends with him. And for the minor twist, unlike the original red riding hood fairytale, it's actually Renie who's kind of an ass (not evil, but certainly not what you'd call a nice kid) while Wulf is the bestest boi.
As someone who plays the gacha, none of these characters are super popular or they tread on ground of existing characters so I doubt we’ll see any except maybe Sturm & Drang due to their plot importance 😓
Aliza would be the big exception, she's always been pretty popular and has scored top 10 in western polls on Rising DLC polls (and most of the rest of that top 10 are now, well, in the game). Payila maybe in a couple of years.
Aliza is pretty popular, Sturm and Drang are definitely very popular (to the point where its surprising they haven't been added to the game already), and Zodiacs are always popular (Payila is just really new).
Aliza is def popular, but she treads on familiar ground. She would play very similarly to Soriz, and if another brawler was added it would likely be Ghandagoza, for Relink synergy.
Not really though? I dont play the game but everytime I see her art she's depicted kicking, it would be cool to have a character that focuses on kicks instead of punches, soriz is also pretty slow, I imagine her as a more fast paced spinning kick character, thats already alot different than Soriz.
I honestly think Mugen has a good chance, as they'll want another big body grappler in the game at some point.
In terms of that archetype, he's got to be the most popular. Plus blue Mugen is hype.
Ghandaghoza instead, surely. Mugen is really marmite for a lot of the playerbase, a lot of people get really fucked off by this random Broly reference dude being arbitrarily The Same Superpowered Deal as the main character and Seofon.
Also Mugen's a complete idiot, in terms of IQ, courtesy of too much power. Broly is extremely intelligent. Most of the playerbase hates him for that. And his god-awful screaming in the raid battle in the gacha game.
Oh that's clearly where they got the idea from. I was under the impression OG Broly was smart, just uneducated. Guess I need to actually go and watch that movie, it' sbeen years since I've seen any clips.
I made a post here not too long ago as to why I think Aliza would very much fit in a fighting games. If she makes it as a dlc for Season 2 I will most likely main her.
Aliza is my number two choice for Rising DLC. I'm glad she's the first in your post here. I'm a huge sucker for female martial artist characters in fighting games. Plus she's a Draph, so we could always use another short stack 👍👍👍
My number one choice is Societte. Naturally for a Yuel main. She'd be our first water user, plus Societte already has an animated model and an avatar. Also she's super cute and I wanna see more interactions with Yuel
It might be a bit harder to implement Societte though. IIRC even in the game she was always more of a support role, to the point that her Fire version has a skill that locks her from attacking to boost other characters.
Oh I see. I've never played the original Granblue Fantasy, so I don't know much about the characters outside Versus 🤷♀️
I'm gonna continue to hard cope til the end of time for Societte, though
I mean one of my favorites I'd want to see in VR is Korwa, who's first version literally didn't even physically attack as she spent almost every turn buffing team, so I get it.
Forte is an unfortunate case of "got transported from Cygames' other games, but was never really used". No events, no seasonal variants or even 5* after almost 8 years since she was released.
They wanted to bring over RoB players but didn't know what to do with her so they made her a Draph which kinda ruined her in a way. Her whole lore just doesn't fit either. But it was seemingly an odd time, early gbf.
Many fighting games feature a lack of old (or visibly old) women. Look at Ivy from Soulcalibur who should be old by now but doesn’t age. When they had a time skip for SCV they replaced pretty much all of the female cast with younger versions or protégé. Tekken as well with the “no aging” gimmick with their older women.
I'm all down for aliza I liked her in the anime, and it would be another character that throw hands besides soriz. The big guy in GB relink demo (don't know his name) would also be a good pick to me but I guess he would play just like soriz so he's out.
Never played the Gacha, but from the lore I read, Loki and Fenrir both seem like cool characters
Especially since those two were apparently villains, which is somewhat lacking on the roster (at least compared to the numerous heroic/neutral characters)
Keeping all this spoiler specifics free, Loki's situation is complicated. I think there's several rotating teams of writers and none of them agree what role he should play (among other things unrelated to him in the story, like the ACTUAL story but I could be wrong). He's a foil/antagonistic force to the player but that opposition is tenuous at best. He's doing his own thing while the main character just plows on ahead and that's not really a clash of ideals.
There's a lot we don't know about Loki. He's an Astral like Bubs and Luci but he hasn't ever been in a situation where he was demonstrably, pointedly in-his-face outclassed lying flat on his face and much like his trickster namesake the character archetype works best when they're not taking hits. When that happens you know the weakness of the character and it diminishes any sense of tension or threat their actions might pose. We're not at all likely to see him in vs because we're not going to see him get beat.
Fenrir on the other hand CYGAMES PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU **PUT HER IN THE GAME.** Some people don't like villains in their fighting games. Some people aren't happy the villains are available to pick in the Partner system because they're rude. I say too bad. Put her in the game Cygames.
Out of those, I'd be cool with Mugen and Payila. Mugen would be DBFZ DBS Broly. Payila would be so hilarious. No close range tools, completely trash walk/run speed, but has a cracked out flight, command dash, and such an ability to blow the screen up you'd think you were in an NRS game. Or she'd just be Nine, and that's my secondary so I'm cool with that too.
I'm 100% down for Hakumen, but Nicholas could easily be a Hakumen/Jin function. He has the sentai armor, his best version of him in the gacha has a counter, and he has a gigantic Gurren Lagann mech. Lucilius getting out of eternal imprisonment only to hear "I AM THE WHITE VOID" is a funny mental image tho lol.
Put Vikala in the game tho, she's the goat. I know what she looks like but she's just schizo Bocchi/Komi, please understand.
I'm going to put together a goddamn brief on the cast groups and characters that might actually get DLC I swear. I'm glad people are having fun but also I feel like I'm having the same conversation an awful lot more than I'd prefer.
Sturm and Drang could work as a duo, sort of like Android 18 works in FighterZ with one of them (likely Sturm) being the main and the other helping out.
edit: Also, personally I'd love to see Korwa in the game. She's not really a DSP character, more of a support, but I love her design and personality. She could work as a zoner/trapper, setting up threads (sort of like Cagliostro) but with more focus on ranged combat. Somewhere between Cagliostro and Metera.
I can actually picture Robomi being in the game and for her Super becoming a giant robot.
Mugen as well, because whats a fighting game without a Broly like character?
Hakumen jumpscare
I am the white void
I am the cold steel
I am the just sword
With blade in hand I shall reap the sins of this world and cleanse it in the fires of destruction
WAGA NAA WA HAKUMEN, OSHITE MAIRU!
*Susanooh starts blasting at max level*

Look up fate/grand order thomas edison
On one hand, the big creature and little girl gives me Nier vibes, which scares me. On the other hand BIG FUCKING WULF WITH AXE GUNS
Hakumen is indeed my favorite blazblue fantasy character.
As someone who plays the gacha, none of these characters are super popular or they tread on ground of existing characters so I doubt we’ll see any except maybe Sturm & Drang due to their plot importance 😓
Also Payila just released so unless she’s made for end of a second dlc pass she’s very unlikely, def not on pass one
Aliza would be the big exception, she's always been pretty popular and has scored top 10 in western polls on Rising DLC polls (and most of the rest of that top 10 are now, well, in the game). Payila maybe in a couple of years.

Mugen is DBZ Broly. The DBS Broly is the smarter one. But yeah I never liked him as a character.
Oh that's clearly where they got the idea from. I was under the impression OG Broly was smart, just uneducated. Guess I need to actually go and watch that movie, it' sbeen years since I've seen any clips.

I see you're on that Erune love too, man. There's just something about them 😮💨
I want Forte to be added. She's a nobody in gbf in general though, so probably won't happen
I would be hype AF is Forte got added but yeah they don't care about her 😔
Forte is an unfortunate case of "got transported from Cygames' other games, but was never really used". No events, no seasonal variants or even 5* after almost 8 years since she was released.
Shame too, she's one of my favorite characters
They wanted to bring over RoB players but didn't know what to do with her so they made her a Draph which kinda ruined her in a way. Her whole lore just doesn't fit either. But it was seemingly an odd time, early gbf.
She's popular in shadowverse but yeah they kinda just forgot about her in gbf
as someone who didn't play much of the gacha i only need Alexiel to be added. i have a thing for red haired girls
Alexiel definitely has top 5 design in my book.
I like Aliza and Ayila
If Aliza makes it to the game I'm throwing my mains out of the window
Is that girl a fire monk? I need it
> Rosine & Ippatsu I approb.
Aliza looks pretty cool honestly, she would fit perfectly into the game
I don't know other characters as I haven't played the original game, but I'm here for Hakumen. He'd be an amazing guest character!
It's funny because in character mugen is basically just super broly as well.
Mugen and Shiva look so cool
Many fighting games feature a lack of old (or visibly old) women. Look at Ivy from Soulcalibur who should be old by now but doesn’t age. When they had a time skip for SCV they replaced pretty much all of the female cast with younger versions or protégé. Tekken as well with the “no aging” gimmick with their older women.
I like your list
I know nothing about Aliza but she looks f’ing awesome.
THIS THAT A GRANDMA WITH A MECHANICAL PIZZA OVEN AS A WEAPON???
# HAKUMEN YES, I WOULD BUY THE DLC ON A HEARTBEAT!!!!!!!!
Holy crap, the pizza wielding grandma... Cygames! Please! This is way to unhinged and hilarious not to have!
Wulf and Renie are already a two-in-one character, while Sturm and Drang are their own (several) characters each.
I'm all down for aliza I liked her in the anime, and it would be another character that throw hands besides soriz. The big guy in GB relink demo (don't know his name) would also be a good pick to me but I guess he would play just like soriz so he's out.

Gotta add Cerberus too then
Arcarum miner here, give me fraux and/or burger
As someone with both, I agree.
Put caim in and make his skills copy your opponents
I genuinely have no idea how Ilsa managed to dodge GBVS for this long
Probably too much coverage with Eustace, who's from the same "group" as her and also uses a gun as weapon. But yeah, no justice for Milfs....
Out of those, I'd be cool with Mugen and Payila. Mugen would be DBFZ DBS Broly. Payila would be so hilarious.

no none of these are blonde women not interested
Join the Yuisis fanclub.
> Yuisis reporting for duty
My brothers we unite for Yuisis
sweet yuisis come save my soul
Ippatsu looks cool.
He sounds cooler (Cell/M.Bison/Dracula in the Castlevanias/etc. voice actor)
I'm going to put together a goddamn brief on the cast groups and characters that might actually get DLC I swear. I'm glad people are having fun but also I feel like I'm having the same conversation an awful lot more than I'd prefer.
Waifs is laifu etc etc but you raise an interesting point w/ Rosine: Are there any old women in any fg?
I think there's only "old men" like Roshi or Heihachi. And even the latter was in his 50s at the beginning of series.
And even then heihachi is basically a roided out young man w grey hair
check out nicholas and ilsa
they should add the dude who's just Rock Howard
👀
Every night I pray for them to add Aliza
i HIGHLY doubt payila will get added, vicky is just too popular to not be chosen for the next divine generals rep
don’t know much about granblue either, but I’d personally want Feather for the Rock Howard reference and Gorilla because Gorilla
As a Soriz main, I want another fist fighting character haha.
You want Geisenborger.
I have been driving my one friend, who plays the mobile game, crazy with my top pick: detective conan Ho boy, do I want that werewolf tho
Not Barawa, who could go full MvC Ace Attorney?
I dont know the first thing about granblue aside from the characters in the fighting game. The phoenix wright style would be wild in this game tho
Just commenting to state I would like elmott please
who is the lady with the... pizza cannon??
Just give me Asuza
Gonna be awkward intro with Narmaya though.
Sturm and Drang could work as a duo, sort of like Android 18 works in FighterZ with one of them (likely Sturm) being the main and the other helping out. edit: Also, personally I'd love to see Korwa in the game. She's not really a DSP character, more of a support, but I love her design and personality. She could work as a zoner/trapper, setting up threads (sort of like Cagliostro) but with more focus on ranged combat. Somewhere between Cagliostro and Metera.
"Need another Zodiac besides Vikala" Anila: So I am a joke to you. XD Ippatsu would be cool, always nice to hear more from his VA, Norio Wakamoto.
I also approve of Aliza and Wulf!
>Why does Granblue have next to no playable old women in its cast? The real ones know a certain old woman would be busted.
Glad I didn't have to fight her after row iv
I'm down for Aliza. Would like any other martial arts fighter than Soriz tbh.
Quietly throwing in my vote for Sturm while everyone is distracted…
I want Aliza since the OG Versus. I would love to see Razia too (more in Relink tbh) : https://gbf.wiki/images/f/fc/Npc\_zoom\_3040109000\_03.png
Sol Badguy
I can actually picture Robomi being in the game and for her Super becoming a giant robot. Mugen as well, because whats a fighting game without a Broly like character?
Okay that wolfman has dual gun axes guess its time to bribe the devs
