Looking at Venom, one can already see his unique weapon, a pool cue, and see how even in the world of Guilty Gear, he stands out. It's not just in aesthetics though, Venom's gameplay is one of the most unique in any fighting game! Venom has the ability to line up pool balls on the screen in various formations. He can then launch them in many different directions and speeds by hitting them with nearly any of his moves! Although this gives him zoning and neutral capabilities, his strongest aspect is actually his pressure game! Venom is an advanced character, you'll have to learn his unique neutral game as well as play strong defense, for he has no reversal (even with meter), but is immensely satisfying to play!
