Well, let me tell ya, if you’re a fan of that Guilty Gear Strive, you’ve probably been waitin’ for the Season 3 patch, huh? Well, good news! It’s here, and it’s got a whole bunch of things goin’ on, I’ll tell ya that much. Now, if you don’t know what this whole Season 3 thing is about, let me try to explain it in a way that makes sense, without all the fancy words those young folks use these days.
So, there’s this game, Guilty Gear Strive, it’s a fighter game. Real technical, real flashy, with a bunch of characters you can play as. It’s been around a little while, and folks been askin’ for more characters and updates. Well, the good folks behind the game got together and started workin’ on the third season of updates. And let me tell you, there’s some big things in this patch, especially if you like Johnny and all the other fighters.

Johnny’s the big deal this time around. Yep, that’s right, Johnny is the first fighter they dropped in this new season. I remember hearin’ about it all the way back at Evo 2023. They teased him there, and sure enough, on August 24, 2023, they made him available. Now, I’m no expert, but from what I hear, folks are real excited about Johnny, and I can see why. He’s got a lot of style, and I’m sure he’s gonna be a big hit in the game.
But Johnny’s not the only one. Oh no, there’s more! They’re also bringin’ in some balance changes to the fighters already in the game. If you’ve been playin’ for a while, you know that sometimes a character might need a little tweak here and there. So, they’ve done some adjustments, made sure things are more fair and fun for everybody. That’s what’s great about these patches, they listen to the players and make things better.
And you know what else? There’s more characters comin’. The final character for Season 3, well, that’s gonna be Slayer. You might remember him from the earlier seasons. He’s a fan favorite, and he’ll be showin’ up on May 30, 2024. That’s right around the corner, so if you’ve been waitin’ for him, you won’t have to wait long now.
But hold your horses, ’cause that’s not all! If you’re already thinkin’ ahead to Season 4, well, you’ll be happy to hear that Dizzy is comin’ back. Yup, you heard me right. Queen Dizzy will be joinin’ the roster on October 31, 2024. They’re also bringin’ back Venom, and there’s some new folks too, like Unika and Lucy. So, if you think Season 3 was big, wait until you see what’s comin’ in Season 4!
What else is in this patch, you ask? Well, there’s a lot of little tweaks and changes. They’ve worked on the game’s netcode to make sure folks can play without a bunch of lag and glitches. The lobbies are gettin’ some updates too, so you won’t be havin’ as much trouble connectin’ with other players. That’s always a good thing, especially when you’re tryin’ to get a good match in. Ain’t nothin’ worse than tryin’ to play a game and the connection just ain’t right.
And don’t forget about the soundtrack! Now, I don’t know about you, but I love me a good tune, and Guilty Gear Strive has some of the best music in games, if you ask me. They’ve added a few new tracks to go with the new characters and stages. It’s the kind of music that gets your blood pumpin’ while you’re fightin’, that’s for sure.

So, to sum it all up, this Season 3 patch is a big deal. You got Johnny, you got Slayer comin’ up, you got Dizzy in the next season, and all kinds of changes to make the game smoother and more fun. If you’re a fan of Guilty Gear Strive, this is a good time to jump back in and see all the new stuff. I reckon it’s gonna be a whole lotta fun, so get ready to fight!
