Vikala gameplay
We can partly see Vikala’s fighting abilities in her official gameplay trailer. In general, Vikala looks like a ranged character with a variety of projectiles to keep opponents at a distance. She effectively sets traps to avoid unexpected close-range combat. Some of the tools help Vikala approach her victims safely to start neutral pressure and combos.
Randomness of projectiles makes Vikala somewhat similar to Asuka from Guilty Gear Strive. The girl’s cheerful personality reminds us of May. More details should be revealed with a traditional character guide. When it’s live, we will add the video to this section.
