Guilty Gear's resident baker armed with a pool cue; Venom is unique even within the world of Guilty Gear. The pool cue is not only for style but also is an integral part of his gameplay. He has the ability to place pool balls on screen in various formations and hit the balls with his normals, specials, and even other balls. Although this does give Venom the ability to zone his strongest feature is his ability to set up pressure and mixups. Venom requires players to learn his unique play-style in order to succeed and also requires the player to have strong fundamental defence due to his lack of reversals. When one capitalizes on his strengths, Venom is a strong and versatile character with great room for creative expression.
Venom works well at poking from a little bit closer than midscreen, and then scoring a knockdown so he can set up. Venom lacks any form of defensive tool outside of the universal game mechanics, and as such suffers greatly when the enemy gets past his neutral tools.
"I never miss a called shot." | |
Lore: | Orphaned at a young age, Venom was taken in and trained by the Assassin's Guild. Venom felt indebted to Zato, the leader of the guild, and pledged his allegiance to him. Venom now fights for the greater good by fighting against Bedman and attempting to save the "soul" of the guild by exposing their past deeds. |

Venom Venom's kit enables him to make use of his balls to apply scary, chip-damage heavy pressure to the enemy player.
- Powerful And Diverse Pressure Options: Venom's balls give him a long list of options which usually beat universal defensive mechanics if applied correctly. The depth of his pressure/Okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups. can allow a player who labs effectively to catch many opponents off guard with unfamiliar setups.
- Good Pokes And Neutral Game: 2S, f.S, and Stinger Aim are neutral tools with few rivals in terms of general meterless screen control.
- 6P: Venom's 6P is one of the best of its kind. It is jump cancelable, has great invulnerability, and good reward at most ranges.
- Setplay And Zoning Are Both Viable: Venom is not locked into one particular playstyle. Just as they can be used for pressure and okizeme, Venom's balls can also be used to zone and flee from opponents.
- Great Meterless Throw Reward: Venom gets a full combo with a knockdown off of both air and ground throw from almost any position in the stage.
- Amazing Chip Damage: Because Venom's pressure uses balls, which are projectiles, enemy players will be forced to eat large amounts of chip damage, or spend copious amounts of tension on Faultless Defense.
- Good R.I.S.C Gain: Venom is able to build R.I.S.C quickly thanks to c.S and other staples of his pressure which helps offset his lower than average damage.
- No Invulnerable Reversals: Venom does not have any form of traditional invulnerable reversal.
- Pokes Have Low Reward: The same pokes which Venom uses to control neutral do have the weakness of not providing significant reward on hit or block. Usually 2S and f.S at range only give a ball at best on normal hit or can even be punished at worst.
- Susceptible to Counter Hits: Most of Venom's special and normal moves leave him in counter hit state for a prolonged period of time which opens up additional punish options for his opponents.
Venom has a special which places a ball on the screen and shifts other placed balls into one of many predefined formations.
The balls which Venom has placed on the screen do absolutely nothing on their own, but can be interacted with in a number of different ways. Balls can be hit with Venom's normals to launch the balls at varying speeds and angles. Balls can be hit by other balls, much like balls in real life pool, to cover yet more angles. And balls can be teleported to.Venom's balls can be one of 4 levels: 0, 1, 2, and 3. Whenever venom manually sets a ball or fires a ball with Carcass Raid, the ball will be level 0. Venom's Stinger Aim and QV specials that "level up" when the button is held. These specials become active after the button is released. If two balls which were set manually collide, the balls will cause each other to move with a new trajectory, but the balls will not level up. If a ball is hit by a special move one the ball hit by the special move ball will be launched normally, and the special move ball will travel with either topspin or backspin.
Venom's Carcass Raid and Stinger Aim specials cause an effect known as "spin" when they make contact with an inactive ball. Back-Spin is an alternate ball movement that places the resultant ball "backwards" towards Venom and works as follows:
- To backspin a Stinger press down at approximately the time that the stinger ball is created.
- To backspin a Carcass Raid press back instead.
When no Back-Spin is not performed, the default spin, Top-Spin, will occur.

Ball Formations
P Formation | P ball is the formation which requires the least amount of commitment to use, and as such is the default ball for when you have not yet earned the space to use other setups. S+P balls is a strong oki tool. pQV can also be used with 5P to keep the enemy airborne for a substantial combo extension. P ball is especially strong in the corner because it can be hit with either 2S or sSA to generate charged balls on the opponent's wakeup. P formation is nor particularly strong for zoning. |
---|
K formation | K Formation puts a ball high in front of Venom. K ball is frequently used in oki setups. Some combos also use K ball and K ball can enable 6P > 6H to combo without a counter hit. P+K is also a solid formation for zoning. |
---|
S formation | S formation places a ball directly behind Venom's head. S formation has comparatively few uses compared to other formations, but is still useful. S ball on its own is useful with teleport cancel to help evade while putting a ball in motion. sQV is a potent combo tool because the S ball can be hit with 6P or 5P as it travels to its resting position. |
---|
H formation | Places a ball far in front of Venom. H ball on its own can be used during oki with jS to create a safejump, and can be used as a far teleport point. H+S Ball is a common 2 ball setup for zoning because, when hit with 5P, one ball travels horizontally at head height, and the other splits off and travels at a roughly 45 degree angle upward. H ball is also useful in throw setups when combined with sSA to create safe chip damage scenarios. Finally, hQV is useful to place a ball above and behind a blocking enemy which you can use to teleport crossup as a reset. |
