Fans of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners<\/a> anime have been looking forward to seeing Lucy cut it up in Guilty Gear Strive\u00a0as a DLC character for a while now. During this weekend\u2019s EVO tournament, Arc System Works finally pulled back the curtain on how everyone\u2019s favorite living Edgerunner fits into its fighting game.<\/p>\n

Lucy\u2019s appearance here looks to be justified through her mind being hacked and transferred to the Guilty Gear universe. Still dealing with the events of Edgerunners that left her old crew dead, she\u2019s determined to figure out why she\u2019s here and how to get back home. Until she finds those answers, she\u2019s got some tricks to hold her own against Sol Badguy and the rest of the Strive\u00a0roster. Gameplay-wise, her she\u2019s got her wrist whips, and her hacking prowess lets her disable her enemy\u2019s powers while boosting her own, which is a neat way to adapt her style for fighting game purposes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For the\u00a0Cyberpunk: Edgerunners\u00a0fans, playing as Lucy in competitive or the story mode looks to feature some callbacks to the show. She\u2019s the first guest character to grace Guilty Gear Strive (and the series overall, looks like) and funnily enough, its second consecutive anime addition. Before her, Arc System Works added Unika from the game\u2019s anime series Dual Riders<\/a> to the roster this past May.<\/p>\n

Lucy enters\u00a0Guilty Gear Strive\u00a0on August 21, and we\u2019ll wait to see if she graces\u00a0Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II<\/a>\u00a0with her presence when that series hits Netflix in the near future.<\/p>\n
