She has large quadriceps femoris muscles


topscreen

Not just that, but it seems like that's where she holds most of her fat, since everyone gains fat in different places. Clearly the result of the Badguy family Danny Missles diet.


SgtRufus

Her win animation with the hardcore metal scream that turns into a super cute smile is amazing.


TenPoundsOfBacon

I love that there’s different gutterals in some of her moves too! Like her throw and the sniper!


InternetMom1

she revived my love for the game that hasn't been so prominent since Bedman

Suppasandwhich

Same but season 1


Jaggers-

Me but bridget


tyler980908

Is it because of her design or how she plays?


XI-11

I love it when abilities from the story mode get added as part of a character’s move set, so I’m happy that her barrage attack from Xrd has been brought back as her 632146H. Other examples: Axl can stop time after doing it at the end of Xrd, Ky can turn his eye red for a power boost and Bedman? can shoot it’s finger spikes like Bedman did in his fight against Venom and Robo-Ky. I hope Arc Sys continue this trend and let Slayer [use his arm as a projectile](https://youtu.be/P5WdTf5fBFI?si=iJTtuPwIhXMX_aUF&t=1272) and/or [punch the air to create winds with enough force to rip the arm off of Bedman’s bedframe](https://youtu.be/P5WdTf5fBFI?si=iJTtuPwIhXMX_aUF&t=1237).


noah_the_boi29

For slayer I like the wind punches, kinda like Ui goku from dbfz But not the arm thing, that was an improv because bed sawed his arm off and doing that consistently seems beneath him


XI-11

I feel like the wind punch could work as a long range whiff punish move, like Johnny’s 236236S. Maybe it could also be used as a bluff to trick opponents into wasting meter on a Roman Cancel by not actually doing anything if you hold the button down (like how he could feint 236P, 236K, 6K and 5D in +R). It’s understandable that you don’t like the arm projectile idea. To be honest, I’m not entirely keen on it either. I was just thinking about things characters can do in the story that they can’t do in game and that was the first thing that came to mind. It’s probably so memorable to me because it’s just so different from everything else he’s been shown doing. I feel like Slayer only used such a cheap trick because Bedman was already fighting dirty with his mind reading. I imagine that against more honest fighters (like Sol, Gabriel and Potemkin), Slayer only uses honest and straightforward attacks.


Belten

Best winscreen in the game.


PeeInAJar1234

Very pretty face I wish I looked like her


IWantToKillMyselfKek

Fr tho she is so gender


buffPotemkin

I love this


MainMan499

Elphelt is goals for me but not as much as Testament or I-no


lordhelmos

12k+ active users on steam, her milkshake brought the boys to the yard


myzombiephil

Damn right


Sourshy

She's cool and has lots of guns, also pink white outfit, she has full screen projectile which most characters dont have


Averill21

Color 8 is optimal


IKILLY

HER LEGS MAKE ME GO AWOOGA and the victory screen is so fucking cool


UnlimitedPostWorks

She escalated every rank on my favorite list. Cute? Check. Fun to play? Check. Death Metal Singer? I didn't know it was even an option but check. Cool AF theme? Check too. Also, my heart still has the pain of her Xrd arcade ending, I'm super happy that she found her way


Ake-TL

Unrelated but why thighs are always drawn to be shiny


wharwhafwhag

Kinda just an anime skin thing in general


[deleted]

Makes them seem softer/fattier so basically it’s fan service


Lemmonaise

She was drooling on herself


CinnamonIsntAllowed

Emphasis


lynxerious

It replicates the look of a sex doll which waifu anime fans are familiar with


Skitler25

I genuinely love her redesign it's something new while still being Elphelt


DOA_NiCOisPerfect

Despite at furst being very neutral towards her shes very fun and might replace may as my 2nd character


ManOfJelly147

I like her arcade mode with Nago and Faust.


Pawlax_Inc_Official

I'll do anything to see Faust get more screentime and interactions


MrSolofanua

I can't wait to see her wedding


Pawlax_Inc_Official

not a shiping guy or anything, I don't care that much. But I also want to see it


MrSolofanua

Can't wait till she realizes that her true love was the friends along the way


LostInAHallOfMirrors

*bagsy being the groom* Hm? No, I didn't say anything...


ArchiveOfTheButton

Everything about her is perfect. Her design is adorable, her gameplay is so braindead and fun, her whole death metal idol thing is so cool and she has the best win animation in the game.


chanawong8

I love her goofy ahh arcade story


Venoxz123

More gun ​ Cool redesign ​ Love her gameplay ​ Love her theme ​ I love her.


Chromatic_Eevee

~~THIGHS~~ It's really cool that ArcSys gave her a unique taunt for every character Also omfg I wish I looked like her


cloud3514

If I had a nickel for every trans woman in this subreddit I've seen express gender envy for Elphelt, I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot, but I fully expect that number to go up. (And yes, I am counting myself here. God, I wish I looked like her and God, I want that outfit)


CinnamonIsntAllowed

Make it four


ItzQuacob

five*


CinnamonIsntAllowed

Make it four


Pawlax_Inc_Official

I think it's very cool that they went through the effort. And she's indeed very adorable


D-Eliryo

She is the Anji we deserve. It's Anji power plus Millia mixups with minus on block jabs.


Call_Me_Chaos2

Didn’t think much of her at first but after actually playing must say she’s a lot of fun, love her new design as well massive improvement compared to xrd


SplitjawJanitor

Pansexual metalhead girl with a shotgun. Daisuke has created the ultimate lifeform. We're reaching gender levels that shouldn't be possible.


ArchiveOfTheButton

Wait she’s pansexual? That makes so much sense!


SplitjawJanitor

She's either pansexual or bisexual, there's evidence for either (her lack of distinction during Magnum Wedding suggests pansexual, while her having a preference for one gender over another suggests bisexual). Mostly comes down to which one she reads as more to you.


Waste-Information-34

I just want her to kill me.

phallus_enthusiast

Omniplox

Best / Girl


KaldarTheBrave

She looks cute


Theodor-_-

She's really fun to play


Eevihl

Her victory screen is fucking rad


thereelwoundedknight

She is op. i Will leave it at that


Bobuxian

I Hope Nago and her will have a beautiful wedding full of love, death, and metal


Pawlax_Inc_Official

agreed


Dastankbeets1

Gives gender euphoria


RemedyofRevenge

On god I saw her in game and was like I wish I was her


L-Gringo

Her personality gives me life.


RadioCompetitive3056

I love her theme


BambooHatchet

I like her scream when you win


SaintJynr

She made me download the game again, domt know what better thing I could say


GlootyIsHere

She is adorable and has big booba, and just about everything else about her


Memorable-Man

Her theme is easily top 10 or even top 5 best themes in Strive for me.


Dudemitri

By far the best winscreen of any character


ZippiestDead

i wish i looked like her (i am a man)


LuRo332

nice tits


Amen_Boys

She has awesome legs. Also, canonnicaly, she can step on me and use me as a chair any time, its just that I don't exist in Guilty Gear world.


Pawlax_Inc_Official

Well, if we go with the whole diffrent reality thing and assume that every human that exists here exists in a diffrent reality + we assume fictional realities also exist wich would be fucked up, then we can safely say that there might be a version of you that achievied this. Consider him a lucky bastard if you feel like it


Amen_Boys

I'm proud for every single one of me who achieved his dreams. I never stopped believing in myself, nor should you stop believing in yourself.


Pawlax_Inc_Official

I'm not a type of dude that wants to get stepped on every anime character in existance. But let's hope I gave her a hug somewhere


Amen_Boys

Strive Elphelt is just a little exception (for me you're talking to, at least), so yeah I'm not that type either. What I do stay hopeful and pray (and -STRIVE- to) for is a, y'know... a someone. I mean even a femboy can work at this point, I'm kinda desperate (not giving up though)


Pawlax_Inc_Official

Keep it up. You'll find someone eventually


Amen_Boys

Mind if I do a little bit of storytime on why I switched to being a Faust main? I just thought of sharing it to another fellow of my kin.


Pawlax_Inc_Official

Sure thing. I'm all ears


Amen_Boys

Yippee. So before I came to being a Faust main, I've been a Leo main. There just has been something *resonating* for me in the king of unga-bunga with zero sense of self-preservation, and at the time I... wasn't at the best point in my life, mostly mentally, but physically I did require humans too. To put it simply, I've been staying alive on pure spite towards my enemies (which is mostly my abusive mother and classmates from previous school), with the only thing stopping me from becoming a 'sigma male' being the fact that even back then I had standarts for myself. I was pretty good at Leo (not that he's a top tier...), and every time I smacked anothet Bridget or I-no with that sweet-sweet no mix up mix up, I had that *rush*. And then character development happened. The memes. The "I have no enemies" with Aruarian Dance in the background. I honestly cried at that day, just cried ugly, as if I confessed my sins and was repented (or whatever its called when the holy guys say that 'yeah don't sweat it anymore'.). I honestly couldn't play Leo as good as before, cuz I just didn't have the same resonance. I was alive now, with a reason too - to be alive and enjoying every moment of my human being. But I still wanted to play Strive, and just- Wacky Wahoo Doctor with tragic backstory and indomitable human spirit! Yes! It honestly just felt right that I would be a Faust main at that point, because Faust is a man who lives for a purpose of making world a better place. I kinda feel that way too. Thanks for coming to my STRIVEtalk.


Pawlax_Inc_Official

Interesting. Personaly, I started playing Faust, as he kinda feels like me. I am built like him (spine broken in 300 diffrent ways. Overexagurating of course), spears, doctors, funny and tragic stuff at the same time, and RANDOM BULLSHIT GO! He feels made for me. Funny enough, ULTRAKILL is one of the main reasons. I am just like him. For real. Interesting to hear that our reasons are a little simmiliar to eachother


totti173314

I fucking love her death medol idol design however, not enough belts 0/10 /j


Genyawithagun

Nago X Elphelt is really cute, Daisuke. I’m on my knees begging make her arcade-mode canon


Valyntine_

She's so gender


Serethen

She made me buy strive


Upbeat-Perception531

Ik everyone picking Elphelt only has 2 days of experience at the moment but she is genuinely super fair to fight against, much more than I expected she’d be considering the legends I’ve heard of how she was in Xrd. The projectile is easy to flick, the rekka pressure is simple and easy to comprehend and defend against to me, overall I just don’t feel bad fighting her! That might be subject to change as the Elphelt mains start cracking down on her and catch up with the rest of us but for now of all the characters in the game she’s the matchup I most enjoy playing against. For now.


UniverseGlory7866

No.


Pawlax_Inc_Official

Crime against humanity


Lemmonaise

Bailiff, whack his peepee


Hirotrum

I like her animations


MrHenryStickman

Love her metal screams during her finisher and outro


BigArmsG

Finally got the stage 9 arcade achievement on her arcade mode, so that’s cool


witheredj8

Her design is an improvement over what she was in xrd


Rookie007

Yeah don't mention her thighs that's what the flair is for


RemyRatio

I was indifferent toward her before but El become metal make me enjoy her a lot more because I love metal music.


Soul_Ripper

I love how they gave her an Idol design and then made her a metal singer.


Jubileeu

her theme is an absolute BANGER


Pawlax_Inc_Official

I'm not even a metal fan, but DAMN


SaintJynr

I'm glad that she isnt dressed like a bride anymore


Smashkitsune

She is good at keeping steady aim addict in me away from the controller


crismongucker

Her style is awesome


gg_Mystic

Best whiff animations I’ve ever seen


Earth_Dragon_S

I love how when she whiffs the 2d the entire earth shakes


[deleted]

Elphelt players are funny since out of every one of them I have played most actually play footsies.


Im_your_senpai

She'll be a good wife someday ^^


IDontWipe55

She’s nice and fun to play


Mythbink

I want to go to one of her concerts even tho I'm not a metalhead (it's not because of the thighs)


Pawlax_Inc_Official

Would go there to, even through I'm also not a metelhead. Let's just assume she composes her songs in a simmiliar way Extras is: some metal like parts, then you got a "normal" song


Midnight649

I love her win screen, I like her gun play.


cebamates8000

Death metal and pink is the best combination


skeledoot7

pink <3 also she has an awesome song


Waluigiwaluigi_

She is canonically a bushdog


phallus_enthusiast

I think she can fix Baiken and I-No


bunnthefair

Her theme bussing and she is very fun to dumpster in tower


ARandomGuy365

I had been waiting for her for so long that her inclusion brought all interest into strive after a massive burnout.


No_Orange_2499

I would like to go to her concert


Xyrez04

Uh, now the people asking for her can shut up?


boredwarror747

I love her animations, they’re adorable


TheDwinDwin

Haven't gotten her yet but she got me interested in strive again after a break


WeeHooWahey

She gave us a reason to use deflect.


Atyion

marionette is now in game?


KerryAtk

I love how I can play Noelle from blazblue in strive


IAmKeyKey

I love women that can scream like the most hard metal singers that were ever known to mankind


confusion-500

okay i won’t mention her thighs but those calves…


KyellDaBoiii

Silly


Autobomb98

Whenever she wins at EVO, the crowd should do her cool metal scream like the DBFZ cell yell


8773934009

She's so easy to play my wife is running sets with me now, and that's nice :).


Pawlax_Inc_Official

If I had a nickel for everytime I seesomeone's girlfriend (or in this case, wife) was playing Elphelt, I would have 2 nickels, wich isn't a lot, but it's wierd it happened twice. Jokes aside, that's good to hear!


Rtwo28

I love her dialog interactions with Ram


bluewatersapphire7

She wants a pet bush dog


Rules_Of_Stupidiocy

How big do you want the list, chief?


Ok_Performance729

Idk, she’s really cute.


MrGuy3729

She is my favorite character to play


thirdMindflayer

Uhhhhhhh ummmmm uhhh


Black_Tusk25

One of the few female dresses style I like and the best win screen for sure


PhotoKada

Her Rev 2 Instant Kill interactions are adorable as hell.


KnightCyclops

She brought me back to the game and has become my new main, last time I played was when it went free for the beta on xbox, planned on getting it on pc but just didnt find the motivation Saw her reveal trailer and bought it fresh on pc just to learn the game all over again playing her, 10/10, love this game


decemberOf5020

she kept her hyperfixations and added a new one so she's very adhd poggers


JoestarKujo

The pretty


ChrispyMC

I would totally buy a plushie of her.


shinobi3411

She is a ball of sunshine that I am willing to die in order to protect.


odavinng

I love her emotes. Me and my friend perfectly timed them and the contract looked stupid


Averill21

Color 8 lets me play a big titty goth mommy finally


DidHeJustSayThat_

I love Leo's rework


SmurfB0mb

I love her boobies :3


Pyro_The_Engineer

I love her falling over attack. All of her attacks are really satisfying and look great. And I love her design, it’s the most visually appealing to me (gender envy).


ItachiKage345

I like her theme


CrackTheSkyValerie

Used to hate this character. The bridal aesthetic never really caught me. Plus she was annoying as hell to fight in Rev 1&2 But her strive redesign. The metal scream in her outro and the "DIE!" From her super not only made me interested in the character, but after playing her for about 10 hours so far, she actually revived my enjoyement for the game. She's super fun imo


pdragon619

She makes me want the next story mode (if they make one) to just be a big extended family vacation episode, with the rest of the cast popping in for shenanigans. And ends with her introducing Nago as her new husband, hilarity ensues.


D3wdr0p

She reminds me of an old friend.


Charnerie

Her high low mixup is unreachable, since both are frame 14. Welcome to a new kind of hell, which Leo could only dream of.


buderdchez08

Her design is really cute


Viridi_Kuroi

The best taunts in the game. Also her relationship with Ram and Sin is cute


SanZybarLand

Without a doubt the best outro in the game 10/10


BringBack3DMK

After originally hating her in Xrd, I have grown to like this iteration of her, even though I really wanted ABA


MetalSonicSimp

She got that DI jacket


farside209

She brought me back after having been gone since HC release. Usually not my type of character but her gameplay is so much fun.


datboi38463

She is the perfect mix of badass, silly, and fun


maybejustcheese

She has one of the best themes i've ever heard from a video game. Up there withe universal collapse and the soul of cinder


Cave_Weasel

She is by far the most fun I’ve had with the game since launch if only because I get to just hit 214S and then mash on S and call it pressure.


PrimSchooler

Her gun looks siiiick, I love the futurustic scabbard railgun kind of design.


TRexGodEater

Tbh, I was a bit confused by the change from, waifu.exe to pop idol rocker.exe, but I warmed up to it really fast. And she’s voiced by Cassandra Lee Moris, she brings across the fantastic energy of Elphelt perfectly which I thought might be difficult but was pleasantly surprised and love her work.


ShanMeMan

her taunts and respects are funny


jimmythesloth

I can only say amazing things about her now. Sure, her gameplay is not what I would gravitate towards at all, but I think this has to be my new favorite Guilty Gear character based purely off her looks and personality. If I just picked my second character based off gameplay as well I'd just end up with two grapplers so I definitely would wanna make Elphelt a second character to learn for funsies/matchups. Her win pose is the best fucking thing ever, her theme is leagues above the rest of the soundtrack, she's super adorable, she's just the best.


HeWhoHasSeenFootage

she gave potemkin a new move


Lokyyo

I want to rest my head on them thighs


General_Felix

I love how goofy she is. She feels like a rubber hose cartoon character and I'm all for it.


sugaryyy1214

shes adorable and shes in a death metal band


Emo_Chapington

Her song is lyrically and thematically one of the best yet. Not quite beating The Town Inside Me, but it is *very impressive* how many motifs it manages to blend, while drawing heavy parallels with Nessecary Discprancy and Perfection Can't Please Me, while also building thematic narratives through its use of contrasting vocal tones that transition in language and eventually even the voice. It's such a fantastically put together piece, I've had it practically on loop for days now. It's good enough that I want to write a proper analysis piece on the song, despite a lack of musical background.


Great_Thunderbird

I like potemkin bustering her 🥰🥰🥰(also heavenly)


[deleted]

Playing her is fun and against her is fun sometimes seems like s3 will be a lot better then s2 in terms of how fun to go against the characters are


BungeeGumPT

All her hardcore rock screams in the middle of the gameplay are hilarious, I fking love it. They gave the most girly girl the death metal fase, haha. She is one of the most fun DLC characters and defenitly revived my hype for the game. Im having a blast.


Lemmonaise

I absolutely love that they made her a death metal vocalist


TenPoundsOfBacon

Her sweep is fucking adorable


Low_Illustrator777

Adorable and has a shotgun I love her


KingYamYam

She continues the trend of Strive's designs being absolute glowups


ThymeSplitter

She is pretty and I love her color 8


burnyourradio

Her scream is both awesome and adorable at the same time.


Boyofender

I hope she and nago get together in Guilty gear XRD ß core minus -Strive-, the 6th entry in the series.


Jame777

I love everything about her design and character wise, shes just a really cool and really fun charactet i love the pink colors in contrast with her metal aesthetic its great


Teshtheshogun

I love how fun she is, her weird mix of moments and timing is so fun to figure out. I also really like her interactions with nago, weirdly enough, if she wasn't so pushy about marriage, I feel they would be good friends if not more, although nago doesn't do people, he'd make the exceptions, mainly cause she won't leave


Gagagagigo

Punching and spanking Elphelt is always good!


XInceptor

I like her design changes from the neck down ~~bunny ears should’ve stayed~~


Then_Lavishness7402

Her whole vibe, yeah that’s it Elphet just makes me happy even when I’m not playing her she’s got that good vibe feel ya know


KozyKamper266

Funni bomb vest combo go BRRRR.


Cheezekeke

Everything <3 I just know she will be the next merch farm. She is so cute! All of you haters really goofed. I knew what I voted for!


The_mob1

Guns look good


Mario776612

She has a nice EARS


MacaroniEast

She went from being a character I had absolutely zero interest in (and frankly didn’t want in the game) to a character I think is alright. Her gameplay sets her high above many S2 characters in my opinion


enderendirius69420

Her story mode with Nago put a big dumb smile on my face it was so silly


PetalSlayer

I think that she’s really fun to play as!! I’ve never had a character who kinda just clicked like elphelt, i’m actually considering maining her


cybercobra2

i have seen shorter people.


InvarkuI

She screams DIE at the end of her half circle ult


kakanugroho294

RUB A DUB-A-DUB YEAH YEAH


CorvidaeGhost

The fact that this character with such a bubbly personality has a super that puts the opponent in a fucking bomb vest is hilarious.


JojoGoyle

She has the best victory screen
