None

Earlier this weekend, we noticed the GBVS CyGames Cup 2022 Particular occurring to a lot fanfare, and whereas the main focus was after all on all of the hype matches between high Japaense Granblue Fantasy Versus gamers, these sponsored occasions usually carry with them slightly one thing in the best way of latest data for the sport as nicely.

GBVS CyGames Cup 2022 Particular was no completely different, and introduced with it the tidbits that the upcoming new system mechanics for the sport will likely be launched in June, and that there will likely be three new mechanics in complete, in addition to that there is one other CyGames Cup occurring in July. The half that saved everybody’s consideration centered, although, was the discuss in regards to the polls for which characters you need to see added to Granblue Fantasy Versus which had been opened again in December — or, extra exactly, the main focus was on the outcomes of those surveys.

Though there have been polls of an identical nature prior to now for Granblue Fantasy Versus, what was attention-grabbing about this one was the truth that it wasn’t unique to simply Japan, which is the important thing marketplace for the sport in addition to the cellular title it is primarily based on, however that it was truly open to the remainder of the world as nicely, thereby bringing in voting voices who could not have been heard prior to now.

With this in thoughts, the outcomes had been introduced by area — Japan, Asia & Oceania, North & South America and Europe — and whereas they had been fairly related in lots of features, there have been some key variations as nicely.

Earlier than even delving in to the ballot outcomes, although, it have to be careworn that recognition, that’s to say robust placements within the surveys, is not going to ensure a personality to get added to the Granblue Fantasy Versus roster. CyGames highlighted this by first presenting a graphic thanking gamers for voting and explaining that there are various different elements that are additionally considered when making new additions to the sport’s roster (equivalent to potential playstyle, weapon illustration and extra).

This could hardly come as a shock, as we noticed very a lot precisely this happen within the sport’s second season, the place Belial, Cagliostro and Seox had been all extraordinarily well-liked characters who had positioned excessive in polls, whereas Yuel, Eustace and specifically Anre had been extra oddballs picks that gamers maybe would not be as susceptible to count on.

With that out of the best way, let’s take a look on the polls themselves. You possibly can try the pictures beneath to see how the highest 10 seemed for every area, together with a list showcasing the outcomes for every area subsequent to one another, making it simpler to check the placements.

Clearly, the primary focal point is that Sandalphon has fully swept the polls in each area, although to people who find themselves aware of the supply sport that is hardly shocking. Sandalphon’s recognition has been immense ever since he was launched to the sport’s lore, and he in truth gained the earlier ballot from 2 years in the past as nicely.

With Sandalphon, it is extra a query of “when” moderately than “if” for his inclusion within the roster, to the purpose the place most are stunned that he is not a part of it but. What’s attention-grabbing is a number of the different outcomes, maybe most notably Siegfried, a fellow Dragon Knight to presently playable characters Lancelot and Percival and Beatrix, a member of the Society alongside present selectable fighters Zeta, Vaseraga and Eustace.

It was famous by the builders that many votes appeared primarily based on desirous to see acquainted characters work together with each other, which partly explains their votes, coupled after all with the truth that they’re each highly regarded. On condition that Beatrix managed to hit high 3 in all areas and Siegfried virtually completed the identical feat (ending up sixth in Asia/Oceania), they appear like very actual candidates to be included primarily based on recognition.

The one different character to position in all areas is Seofon, the co-leader of the Eternals alongside the presently playable Anre, a gaggle of which Season 2’s remaining addition Seox can be a member. Ilsa, yet one more Society member, and Vikala, the Rat Signal consultant of the Zodiac characters, present up in 3 completely different area’s high 10 clearly exhibiting a big fanbase for each of those as nicely.

Further candidates who may have good possibilities primarily based on the ballot outcomes out there to us are Aliza and Silva who positioned excessive in areas who beforehand would not have been capable of vote and in addition each maintain the “attention-grabbing gameplay potentialities” distinction which CyGames highlighted as one other issue for inclusion.

Silva is a gun-based character who’s a straight up sniper, positively separating her from Eustace, the opposite gunslinger out there within the sport proper now, and would in all probability be closely centered on long-range zoning if she had been added. Aliza, alternatively, is a hand-to-hand warrior princess and would doubtless fill the archetype of a close-up Kung Fu-style fighter, very like Jam from the Responsible Gear sequence.

Whereas the implication of latest characters being added was very clear (why else even maintain a ballot, a lot much less publish its outcomes?), there nonetheless wasn’t any clear assertion on whether or not this may be a continuation of DLC for Granblue Fantasy Versus or a shift to a brand new challenge equivalent to a Granblue Fantasy Versus 2.

The shortage of any sequel announcement, regardless of speaking about characters that followers need to have added to the sport, would level fairly clearly in the direction of the previous, however with next-gen consoles slowly inching their approach into the marketspace, one has to marvel how possible it’s to maintain supporting the sport in its present state, particularly after the builders themselves admit that they imagine rollback netcode needs to be the usual for combating video games — a function which the present Granblue Fantasy Versus lacks.

Regardless of the case could also be, this yr will maintain a variety of pleasure and new content material for Granblue Fantasy Versus within the type of updates, occasions and most significantly a spot on the primary stage at EVO 2022. Extra data and bulletins will undoubtedly turn into out there to us within the close to future.
