==Overview==
==Overview==
A familiar face from Overture, Raven makes his second playable appearance in the Guilty Gear series. Known as "The Undying Disease", Raven makes full use of his immortality to feed his masochistic love of pain in battle, which in turn leads to him fighting even harder than before. As a direct subordinate of the powerful and enigmatic "That Man", Raven is not one to be underestimated in battle.
At first glance for those familiar with [http://wiki.mizuumi.net/w/Vampire_Savior/Jedah Jedah Dohma] of Darkstalkers fame, it's easy to draw parallels between the two, but by no means is Raven a clone. Raven brings his own flair to the table, which combined with the great reach of his normals, excellent ability to lead into knockdowns, and his unique "Excitement Gauge", the "Undying Disease" can be deadly in the right hands.

*Damage and properties on certain normals, specials, and supers can be improved by gaining "Excitement" levels


===Weaknesses===
===Weaknesses===
*Has difficulty escaping the corner through the air, since the airdash goes towards the ground

[[File:GGXRD-R Raven ExcitementGauge.png|thumb|Raven's "Stages" of Excitement]]
The Excitement Gauge affects the properties of some of Raven's attacks; the higher level it is, the more damage Raven's normals, specials and supers inflict. It also lets Raven combo off his throw special "Wachen Zweig".
The Excitement Gauge affects the damage and properties of some of Raven's attacks; the higher level it is, the more damage Raven's normals, specials and supers inflict. It also lets Raven combo off his throw special "Wachen Zweig" (63214S/HS).


Each round the gauge starts at 0 and increases when Raven uses his special move "Give it to me HERE" to absorb the opponent's attacks. While using "Give it to me HERE", his gauge will slowly increase over time even if Raven does not absorb any attacks!

Raven's 6H leaves him airborne, letting him RC it and start his airdash pressure. It has very short range but is safe even on block since he jumps away and can perform air specials after it. If an opponent gets countered by it, they get staggered which lets Raven combo into his Scharf Kugel or Gebrechlich Licht. It's not a bad idea to attempt an option-select a 6H/throw on an opponent's wakeup considering how safe this attack can be up close.

Raven's airdash steers him towards the ground until he's at a set height and then lets him glide forward. The angle at which he starts this dash is dependant on how high in the air he is. This airdash itself has a hitbox on contact, letting Raven start some offense with it. A major use of this is for 50/50 mixups after knockdown and to even IAD after a jump-cancellable ground normal for extended pressure.

A far reaching slash that leaves the opponent spiraling on hit. It can be RC'd for a combo, but in the corner on CH or on a lightweight, it's possible to combo regardless. The air version has much less range and halts his forward air momentum. A good use for it is to end a homing dash blockstring with it to push you away and avoid an opponent's throw.

Raven tosses a triple-hitting projectile that travels forward briefly before staying in place. It disappears shortly afterwards but even shorter if Raven is hit while it's active. A very handy special to use after a knockdown like 2D or a j.D that's low enough to the ground. It's perfect for okizeme and gives Raven enough time to perform 50/50 mixups or to just fill up on his excitement gauge. The air version travels a bit further and is thrown at a lower angle but takes a bit longer to become active.

Raven tosses a triple-hitting projectile that travels forward briefly before staying in place. A very handy special to use on a knockdown that keeps Raven close like 2D or j.D that's low enough to the ground. The ground version is thrown straight ahead, while the aerial version is thrown diagonally downward, is thrown at a lower angle, and has a little bit more startup.
 
It sees primary use during okizeme, giving Raven enough time to perform 50/50 mixups and can also be used in certain combo strings.

This is starting point of one of Raven's unique mechanics: the Excitement Gauge. Raven can also YRC or cancel into Getreuer after getting hit during stance to immediately punish an opponent that attacks him during this stance, though both cost Tension.
This is starting point of one of Raven's unique mechanics: the "Excitement Gauge". Damage taken during the duration of the stance is not immediately lost, but instead becomes "Purple Health" which recovers over time after not taking damage for a certain amount of time. Should Raven be hit outside of stance while he still has "Purple Health", he will instantly lose all of it and guts and defense will kick in where his normal "Yellow Health" is. (Example: If Raven gets hit while his "Purple Health" is at 50%, but his "Yellow Health" is at 30%, [[GGXRD-R/Damage#Guts|Guts]] scaling will begin at 48%)
 
Take note that while the stance is able to hold out to any sort of attack, Bursts and Instant Kills included, Raven is still vulnerable to being thrown.
 
The "Excitement Gauge" has within it 10 separate levels, broken down into 3 main stages which can be attained by a combination of holding the stance or getting hit. Each level passively increases the damage of all of Raven's attacks, while changing the properties of certain moves for each stage attained.
*'''Excitement Stage 1 (Passive Face)''': Levels 0-2
*'''Excitement Stage 2 (Smiling Face)''': Levels 3-5
*'''Excitement Stage 3 (Tongue Face)''': Levels 6-10

Raven's standard reversal super that ends with a single kick that both knocks back and causes knockdown. Where this move really shines is when he begins to fill his "Excitement Gauge". For each level gained in Raven's Excitement Gauge, 5 hits will be added to the move, up to a maximum of 50 additional hits at Excitement Level 10 (52 hits total). The full animation from the initial hit occurs even when used as an OTG, so this move is very useful to tack on a bit of additional damage, especially at higher Excitement Gauge levels. Aside from its use as a combo ender, Getreuer can also be used at any time during "Give it to me HERE" (214K) to punish your opponent for attacking through Raven's hyper armor should they be close enough.
 


Raven's standard reversal super that ends with a single kick that does both knock back and knockdown. Where this move really shines is when he begins to fill his excitement gauge. If so, he will begin to stab multiple times before ending with the same kick, leading to more stabs and damage depending on his gauge. Use this move to milk damage for the kill even if it's OTG. The other use is to have opponents attack you in his stance (214K) while you can use this move's invincibility to reversal them.

Where Getreuer (214214HS/D) shines in it's ability to punish close range attacks, Verzweifelt excels in punishing long range attacks. Verzweifelt has projectile invulnerability throughout all of it's active frames, allowing for punishes against unprepared zoners. The move on hit allows for a link into Getreuer under most circumstances, and on block moves Raven a considerable distance away from the opponent. Take note however that with a fast enough dash, or an attack that reaches far enough, it is possible to punish Raven on block during the recovery of the attack.

Overview

A familiar face from Overture, Raven makes his second playable appearance in the Guilty Gear series. Known as "The Undying Disease", Raven makes full use of his immortality to feed his masochistic love of pain in battle, which in turn leads to him fighting even harder than before. As a direct subordinate of the powerful and enigmatic "That Man", Raven is not one to be underestimated in battle.

At first glance for those familiar with Jedah Dohma of Darkstalkers fame, it's easy to draw parallels between the two, but by no means is Raven a clone. Raven brings his own flair to the table, which combined with the great reach of his normals, excellent ability to lead into knockdowns, and his unique "Excitement Gauge", the "Undying Disease" can be deadly in the right hands.

Strengths

  • Excellent corner carry during pressure due to his airdash length and Grausam Impuls (236S) special move
  • Solid mix up off sweeps
  • Very good combination of range, speed and some extremely low profiles on normals
  • Versatile projectiles that can be used for both zoning and pressure
  • An anti-air command grab to complement the zoning game
  • A forward dash with extremely fast top speed and invincibility in the middle to make it very easy to cross under opponents and phase through projectiles
  • Can punish almost anything close-ranged with a correctly timed super armor stance
  • Combos can be fairly burst safe
  • Damage and properties on certain normals, specials, and supers can be improved by gaining "Excitement" levels

Weaknesses

  • Has difficulty escaping the corner in the air, since the airdash goes towards the ground
  • Limited combos make punishes weak in general
  • Slow initial acceleration on the ground dash makes it difficult to adjust spacing and continue pressure without jumping
  • Reliance on Excitement Gauge to increase damage of combo routes and Getreuer (214214H/D)

Excitement

Raven's "Stages" of Excitement

The Excitement Gauge affects the damage and properties of some of Raven's attacks; the higher level it is, the more damage Raven's normals, specials and supers inflict. It also lets Raven combo off his throw special "Wachen Zweig" (63214S/HS).

Each round the gauge starts at level 0 and increases when Raven uses his special move "Give it to me HERE" (214K) to absorb the opponent's attacks. While using "Give it to me HERE", his gauge will slowly increase over time even if Raven does not absorb any attacks.

Normal Moves

A reliable poke overall and useful spacing tool. Use this move to keep the opponent away or simply harass them. It can be chained into attacks like Schmerz Berg (236P) for spacing or even jump-cancelled. Just beware that it can be low-profiled by certain attacks akin to Raven's 5P.

Raven's dust is far reaching and can be used as an occasional sneaky overhead. It isn't punishable as it leaves you at only -1 on block and can be spaced further away. Try not to rely on this too much as it's quite slow and can be predictable.

j.D is to be used as an effective air-combo ender. The second hit causes a untechable knockdown from any height. Raven is able to special cancel during the entirety of the move's aerial recovery.

If used at a low enough height, Raven can use his aerial Scharf Kugel (236HS in air) for okizeme into a possible homing dash. Can also follow up with the P version of Gebrechlich Licht (236P in air) to slow an opponent on wakeup after certain strings.

  • Launches on CH

A wide arcing claw swipe that has amazing vertical reach and covers a bit of space in front of the stationary Raven.

On hit it can only gatling into Raven's 5S or f.S, and can only combo from an anti-air hit into an overdrive on larger characters or characters very close to the ground. On grounded or anti-air CH can be special cancelled into the S version of Wachen Zweig.

  • Leaves Raven in airborne state
  • Staggers on CH

Raven's 6H leaves him airborne, letting him RC it and start his airdash pressure. It has very short range but is safe even on block since he jumps away and can jump cancel or perform air specials after it. If this connects on Counter Hit, they get staggered which lets Raven combo into his Scharf Kugel or Gebrechlich Licht. It's not a bad idea to attempt an option-select a 6H/throw on an opponent's wakeup considering how safe this attack can be up close.

  • Halts his forward air momentum
  • Can cross up
  • You can combo off of it on counter hit

An attack that drops Raven towards the ground with his knee. It halts his forward momentum in the air and can let him land to the ground instantly during the beginning of a homing dash for some tricky mixups. Because of J.2k's hit box, Raven can even cross up opponents.

20 [21-26] High S YRP - - - -
  • Has an active hit box during the dash
  • Can land about 3 normals before landing, not including the initial hit from the Airdash itself

Raven's airdash steers him towards the ground until he's at a set height and then lets him glide forward. The angle at which he starts this dash is dependent on how high in the air he is. This airdash itself has a hitbox on contact, letting Raven start some offense with it. A major use of this is for 50/50 mixups after knockdown and to even IAD after a jump-cancellable ground normal for extended pressure.

A far reaching slash that knocks the opponent back on hit. It can be RC'd for a combo, but in the corner on CH or on a lightweight it's possible to combo without it.

The air version has much less range and halts his forward air momentum. A good use for it is to end a homing dash blockstring with it to push you away and avoid an opponent's throw. On CH can wallbounce allowing for easy followups.

  • Disappears early if Raven is hit
  • Often used for okizeme
  • Cannot be used if projectiles from Schmerz Berg (236P) or Gebrechlich Licht (236P/K in air) are on screen

Raven tosses a triple-hitting projectile that travels forward briefly before staying in place. A very handy special to use on a knockdown that keeps Raven close like 2D or j.D that's low enough to the ground. The ground version is thrown straight ahead, while the aerial version is thrown diagonally downward, is thrown at a lower angle, and has a little bit more startup.

It sees primary use during okizeme, giving Raven enough time to perform 50/50 mixups and can also be used in certain combo strings.

  • Hyper Armor starts on 5F and lasts for 20F after releasing the button depending on if you gained a stack or more of excitement gauge
  • Hyper Armor lasts for 21F and recovery increases to 25F if only one stack has been gained by holding the stance
  • Works against Unblockable attacks (Examples: Slayer's Undertow, Elphelt's Miss Confire, Johnny's Sigh'd Mist Finer etc.)
  • Increases "Excitement Gauge" level as input is held or as Raven takes damage during this stance. It takes 40F to gain one stack, 80F to gain the second and 60F for each subsequent stack.
  • Nulls out the leveling effect of Johnny's "Glitter is Gold"
  • When an attack is absorbed, Raven is not affected by hitstop
  • Can YRC on hit or cancel into Getreuer (214214H/D) at any time to punish attacks

This is starting point of one of Raven's unique mechanics: the "Excitement Gauge". Damage taken during the duration of the stance is not immediately lost, but instead becomes "Purple Health" which recovers over time after not taking damage for a certain amount of time. Should Raven be hit outside of stance while he still has "Purple Health", he will instantly lose all of it and guts and defense will kick in where his normal "Yellow Health" is. (Example: If Raven gets hit while his "Purple Health" is at 50%, but his "Yellow Health" is at 30%, Guts scaling will begin at 48%)

Take note that while the stance is able to hold out to any sort of attack, Bursts and Instant Kills included, Raven is still vulnerable to being thrown.

The "Excitement Gauge" has within it 10 separate levels, broken down into 3 main stages which can be attained by a combination of holding the stance or getting hit. Each level passively increases the damage of all of Raven's attacks, while changing the properties of certain moves for each stage attained.

  • Excitement Stage 1 (Passive Face): Levels 0-2
  • Excitement Stage 2 (Smiling Face): Levels 3-5
  • Excitement Stage 3 (Tongue Face): Levels 6-10

Raven's command grab that reaches far ahead of him and has two versions. 63214H is the ground version that aims in front while 63214S aims in a 45 degree angle upwards. Both lack a hurbox where his arm is but also lack the ability to connect if you are too close. S version can be used as a combo ender/extender in some cases. The properties for the move change entirely depending on the Stage of the "Excitement Gauge".

  • Excitement Stage 1 (Passive Face): knocks the opponent away
  • Excitement Stage 2 (Smiling Face): can combo into 5K afterwards
  • Excitement Stage 3 (Tongue Face): can combo into 5H afterwards

  • Damage/hits increases depending on Excitement Gauge Level
  • Can be chained into from 214K
  • Very useful for closing out rounds at higher Excitement Levels due to sheer number of hits

Raven's standard reversal super that ends with a single kick that both knocks back and causes knockdown. Where this move really shines is when he begins to fill his "Excitement Gauge". For each level gained in Raven's Excitement Gauge, 5 hits will be added to the move, up to a maximum of 50 additional hits at Excitement Level 10 (52 hits total). The full animation from the initial hit occurs even when used as an OTG, so this move is very useful to tack on a bit of additional damage, especially at higher Excitement Gauge levels. Aside from its use as a combo ender, Getreuer can also be used at any time during "Give it to me HERE" (214K) to punish your opponent for attacking through Raven's hyper armor should they be close enough.

  • Damage increases depending on Excitement Gauge's level
  • Number of hits increases depending on the Excitement Gauge's stage
  • Useful for punishing attacks from full screen
  • Pose is random

Where Getreuer (214214HS/D) shines in it's ability to punish close range attacks, Verzweifelt excels in punishing long range attacks. Verzweifelt has projectile invulnerability throughout all of it's active frames, allowing for punishes against unprepared zoners. The move on hit allows for a link into Getreuer under most circumstances, and on block moves Raven a considerable distance away from the opponent. Take note however that with a fast enough dash, or an attack that reaches far enough, it is possible to punish Raven on block during the recovery of the attack.
