In a game full of unique characters, Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-‘s Elphelt Valentine still manages to rise above the crowd thanks to her interesting wedding attire and stance-based gameplay. With players in possession of the Japanese console release, videos have been hitting the internet depicting what she is capable of, so we figured we would compile a few for your convenience.
First up, we have a component of the fighter’s gameplay that may be integral to playing her at a high level: the shotgun loop. Below, you’ll find videos from TSB|Zidane and wauhti showing this technique in action. While the former is performed without the meter, the latter spends some of the resource to extend the combo and up the damage.
Who doesn’t love unblockables? Our next video covers a scary setup discovered by AbelCru that forces the opponent to block an incoming grenade, allowing Elphelt to power up her rifle shot, land the special with its updated unblockable properties, and continue into a full combo.
AbelCru also released a video demonstrating a strong corner combo performed off a grab that incorporates the aforementioned shotgun loop.
And finally, a user by the name of purepure uploaded a nice compilation of combos and okizeme options for those looking to expand their game with Elphelt even further.
