And the Japanese one, if you’re interested:
For those unfamiliar with Asuka R#, or That Man, he’s a major antagonist in the Guilty Gear universe who created the Gears. Here’s an official description of the character:
He stands at the pinnacle even among the company of generally highly capable magic wielders. He is both a scientist and also unparalleled in his mastery of magic – what one would call a genius.
Although he is generally polite and humble, he often finds even his carefully considered statements can result in discord.
In contrast to his intellectual capabilities, he severely lacks in stamina, with the slightest exercise tiring him out. Any physically straining tasks are handled by custom-made bits of his.
Asuka continues to transmit “clear numbers” from space, in the hopes of bringing peace to Earth.
A new battle stage in Tír na nÓg was also revealed. As a previously abandoned space colony, repairs are giving it a new lease on life.
The additional battle stage Tír na nÓg is home to a space colony created by humankind to survive in outer space. The previously abandoned and dilapidated colony has been repaired and found a new use.
From a giant telescope to a Japanese-style garden, this stage is populated by a variety of items reflecting the tastes of the current resident.
Finally, two new color packs have been announced. The first pack unlocks one additional color for each character for a total of 24 characters, whereas the second pack unlocks two colors for 24 characters. With the two combined, you’re getting a grand total of 72 colors, three for each character.
