Bridget zips into Guilty Gear Strive!

Bridget, the Yo-yo wielding bounty hunter makes her Guilty Gear Strive debut!

Guilty Gear series veteran Bridget returns to the series in Guilty Gear Strive! Just before top 8 of Guilty Gear Strive at Evo 2022, Arc System Works revealed the first character for season 2 DLC. Bridget, the yo-yo wielding bounty hunter returns to the Guilty Gear series for the first time since Guilty Gear XX Accent Core.

Who is Bridget?

Bridget was born as one of a set of twin brothers. In the village they were born, twin sons were considered to be bad luck. One of the two would be sacrificed or exiled without question. As such, Bridget's parents raised her as a girl. As she grew older, she had the idea to go out and amass a fortune to show the village that the superstition meant nothing. She would leave as a bounty hunter, hoping to prove herself to the village.
