Dizzy Voted to Become Playable in Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-

The (Japanese arcade) players have spoken! After three weeks of in-game ballot casting, the Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- Playable Character General Election came to an end a few days ago. On today’s Arc System Works official stream on Niconico Live, the results of that vote were announced. The character with the most votes will join the Guilty Gear Xrd cast in a future update. And the results…

177,681 total Votes

Rank Character Votes
1 Dizzy 32990
2 Bridget 32639
3 Baiken 31281

If you’re a Dizzy fan, you’re in luck! The Gear, wife and mother narrowly beat out Bridget and Baiken for the highest number of votes. While Dizzy’s involvement in the GGXrd story makes her an ideal choice to integrate into the game, work on the character is starting from scratch. Look forward to seeing more of her in the future!

In addition to the vote results, Arc System Works announced that they would be hosting a Halloween party at the Ikebukuro GiGO game center in Tokyo. The October 31 event consists of a ladies tournament, a cosplayer tournament and open tournament.

Format & Rules

Provisional Ranking Round-robin League

A twelve-player online round-robin league. Matches are best of three rounds, best of five games. In the case of a tie in rankings, order is determined by the players’ game win-loss difference, with one game counting as one point. For example, a 3-0 victory counts as +3, while a 2-3 loss counts as -1. If there is still a tie, the winner of the match between the two players claims the higher ranking.

The top four players will automatically advance to the upper finals league. Fifth through tenth place will advance to the lower finals league. Eleventh and twelfth place drop from competition, falling to B League.

Finals League Ranking Competition

Provisional ranks fifth through tenth place will play in the lower finals league. The top two players from this league will join provisional ranks first through fourth place to make up the upper finals league. Tenth place will fall to B League, while eighth and ninth place must play in the replacement playoff after the next season’s B League.

Offline round-robin leagues. Matches are best of three rounds, best of thirteen games, with deuce rules to ten wins. In each match, the player with the higher provisional ranking begins with a one-game advantage. Two characters are allowed, with mid-match switches allowed every three-game interval for the losing player within that interval. In the case of a tie in rankings, order is determined by the winner(s) of the match(es) between the involved players. If there is still a tie, order is determined by game win-loss difference.
