GameSpot have revealed new gameplay for Arc System Works’ Guilty Gear -Strive-; along with revealing Ky Kiske has a Dragon Install.

The gameplay footage comes via GameSpot, and of note Ky Kiske’s Dragon Install. This is an ability that until now only Sol Badguy had shown.

In short, Sol Badguy’s Dragon Install is a special attack (Overdrive) that increases his speed and attack power, and alters the properties of some of this moves. As a Gear (an artificial magical creature), Sol uses Dragon Install when desperate; no longer holding back and letting his powers loose.

However, Ky is human. During the events of Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-, Ky shows a red left eye after being seriously injured. This may be due to his Gear-Human hybrid wife Dizzy. The pair also had a child, Sin Kiske. Ky used to be a member of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights; a group established to battle the Gears in the Crusades.

The new gameplay footage also shows new moves for Sol Badguy, Zato, Nagoriyuki, and Axl Low.
