Hi hello, we're finally starting to wind down the AP revisions I've got planned, as there's only one more thread for AP left after this. This one, though, was a bit of a nightmare to get sorted out. Basically, Guilty Gear Strive's got its own Arcade Mode like any other Guilty Gear game (scratch that, more like damn near any fighting game ever). And like said games, it gives us some new scaling to work with.

...Like, a lot of scaling. In fact, all of it can be found in this sandbox.

Point is, even more characters will be getting Strive keys. Poor Leo though, man gets zero new scaling. I hate fighting Leo in Strive though so take that. Essentially, my proposal is to give the listed characters new keys for Strive - except for Delilah, who just needs her AP adjusted based on the new scaling.

Pretty short OP since everything's in the sandbox, but I've got nothing else to say, so now I'll open the floor to discussion!

I'd keep an at least (whatever she is before) for Ram if she's not already dwarf/small star since i don't think it's necessarily being stated that she's equal to Nago. Same for Sin, if his only showing is fighting an admittedly casual Ky, even if he does well against him, I think there's a possibility he's not part on him going all out.

I'm not sure what in the ABA scan implies she fought Testament?

Rest seem fine

Ram's first key is High 5-A as is, and I figured it'd be enough since Nago acknowledges her strength and she reiterates "You won't hurt me. Because I'm strong." In context, this is in response to Nago's fears of hurting others after he harmed innocents while under the control of Happy Chaos.

Also, she fights about as well against Bedman? as Baiken does. That is, she trades blows with it but is eventually overwhelmed

The implication is that Sin himself was also fighting more casually, as he asks Ky to get serious. If it helps, he even fights Dragon Install Ky in Stage 9 and appears to hold his own to some degree.

Also, like Ram, he does about as well against Bedman? as Baiken

My line of thinking was that A.B.A is panting and says "it always ends like this." To me, that suggests that a fight broke out.

I get that but both being casual vs one another doesn't mean they're equal at their peaks. I'd rely more on other avenues for scaling.

I guess, is this after a fight in gameplay or just with no context?

What about the rest? Like holding his own even when Ky uses Dragon Install and fighting Bedman? on a comparable level to Ram and Baiken. Also, Sin's first key is just High 5-A like Ram's

After a fight in gameplay
