Archive / Ramblings / Exploring Strive's Source Code (5/10/2025)

- SPOILERS INBOUND -

This goes without saying, but this page contains major spoilers for Unika, Dual Rulers, Lucy, the new stages, and potentially even Season 5. Read at your own risk.

I request that nothing on this page gets shared elsewhere. I am doing all of this for archival purposes only, and for people that want to see these things early. Unrequested sharing of leaks is a shitty thing to do, and I will not be the reason someone gets spoiled on new content. Also, don't just post links to this under popular posts. I don't want to put this site in danger just because too many people see it or something.

Strive's source code got leaked. Everyone knows that already. Along with some other stuff, like various beta builds! I will not be discussing those there. This is about the new stuff in the source code.

Unika is fully complete and ready to be released. She has everything that any other character would have.

Main Mechanic : Mode: Arbalest ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mode: Arbalest is a pseudo stance accessed from many of Unika's command normals (S5S, S2S, H5H, H2H, j.D, or 6H). Specials gain better advantage, comboability, and damage among other benefits when canceled out of Mode: Arbalest normals. (Signified by the blue coloring)

Specials ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

236H : A.M.T.G. Streak - A big laser blast. It has slow startup, but travels fullscreen. Generally more of an anti-zoning / whiff punish tool than for fullscreen pressure.

j.236H : A.A.T.G. Blitz - An air fireball. Its pretty weak but flies at a decent angle.

236K : A.T.T.G. Penetrate - Essentially just a bigger version of Ky's Stun Dipper. Only -3 in Mode: Arbalest. Generally very useful as a combo from longer ranged Mode: Arbalest normals.

214K : A.T.T.G. Top-Attack - Similar to Greed Sever from the older games. A really big overhead that is nearly unreactable and low crushes. Also groundbounces in Mode: Arbalest. The non-Arbalest version shares Rin's property of being unable to combo even with a Roman Cancel.

623S : A.C.T.G. Blast-Off - A gigantic grounded DP. Can't be Roman Canceled, even in Mode: Arbalest. Still a great combo tool due to the large wallbounce.

214S : Blaze a Trail - A long ranged strike forward. Guard crushes, but is minus. Oddly does not interact with Mode: Arbalest in any way.

Overdrives ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

632146S : Megadeath Buster - A fairly standard reversal / wallbreak super that sends fullscreen. The cinematic only occurs up close.

214214H : Weapons Free - Best described as an overdrive version of a 5[D]. Replaces all of Unika's air normals to make a custom air combo along with cancelable 8-way dashes. Similarly to Ky's Dragon Install, it can only be used at low health. Also does not lead into the cinematic on air / wallstick hit.

[Automatic] : Star Deviation - The automatic ender to Weapons Free. Very similar to a Finish Blow during a homing jump. It activates once the opponent reaches the edge of the screen.

S + H : Star Deviation: Annihilate - A metered higher-damage alternative to Star Deviation. Does not improve theknockdown afterwards.

Arcade ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unika's arcade partner is Giovanna, and the boss is Sin!

[I was going to make a full overview video like Unika got, but I lost the motivation. Oh well.]

Lucy presumably has all of her moves implemented, though they are without sound and a few (especially her supers) are unfinished. She is mostly playable. She lacks a move list, and as such may have extra properties to her attacks that I am not aware of.

Main Mechanic : Glitch Status ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

214H applies a special status effect to the opponent that makes them take 11 more frames of hitstun off of any attack, even throw. This opens up a ton of new combo routes, and allows for much higher reward off of simple mixups (for example, 2K can combo into c.S). This effect does not apply on block, and goes away once they are hit once. When hitting a counterhit, the effect goes away without applying any effect.

Notable Normals -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5P - Has a unique animation when canceled into itself, like Raven's 4P in Xrd.

f.S - Very long ranged. Has almost no knockback.

f.SS - A followup that vacuums. Only gatlings into 5H.

5H - Currently has a somewhat unfinished animation.

2S - Long ranged. Has almost no knockback.

2SS - A followup that vacuums. Only gatlings into 2H.

j.D - Grapples the whips towards the ground, then pulls herself downward. Basically a divekick. Combos into 5K for a full combo on normal hit.

Specials ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

214K : Dash Kick - A long ranged, low profile kick that hits mid. Has two followups, both of which can be canceled into before the attack similarly to Fuujin.

214K~K : Follow-Up Kick - A second kick that hits low and gives a soft knockdown. A good combo ender.

214K~S : Follow-Up Leap - A crossup overhead followup. The first kick generally has enough pushback to prevent this from crossing up.

236S : Gun - A gun that can be shot three times. In the corner, wallbounces for a combo. Usually safe on block, making it a good blockstring ender.

236H : Reversal - A grounded DP. Fairly standard. Oddly just a quarter circle, which I can't help but think is an insult to the potential skill of the new players who get into the game because of her.

214H : Glitch Whip - A long ranged chargable strike. When charged to at least the second level, applies the Glitch Status on hit or block. Higher charge levels do not increase damage or advantage, only making the move have more startup. At close range, the charged version can be comboed out of.

Overdrives ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

632146H : Super Reversal - A fairly standard reversal / wallbreak super. Does high damage, and has a very unfinished animation. Also has what appears to be a effects sheet pasted over Lucy's face during the superflash, for some reason.

236236K : Hacking?? - Currently has no effect, even while Glitch Status is applies. It can be canceled early by pressing D. Various files related to it are called "Hacking". Likely some kind of utility super like Asuka's Bookmark (Full Order) since it can be canceled early. When Roman Canceled, this leaves the stage background black and white for the rest of the match.

For full frame data, see this page.

Presumably part of Lucy's intro or outro. I haven't watched Edgerunners, so I don't really know how this relates to Lucy.

Full Scene

Lucy Closeup

Early into the leaks, these characters were believed to be part of Season 5, and many people have assumed this is true. It is not. The code calls them 旧キャラや表示テスト用キャラ, or "Old characters and characters for display tests".

With the exception of Jam, these characters are all actually early versions of Strive characters that simply use Xrd characters as their model. The results are... interesting, to say the least. Especially since some of them could have just used their own xrd models. Regardless, there is still some interesting stuff to find with them.

Jam crashes on load, as her files don't work with the current moveset building system (presumably due to thier age). Apparently there is a fix, but I haven't found it yet.

Assuming she is the same as the recently leaked beta builds, she is basically Xrd Jam shoved into Strive along with a new super. She was likely used as the test character for the entire game.

There is also some alleged Season 5 Jam concept art going around, but I haven't found proof that it is real.

However, she is potentially coming in Season 5 due to one of the stages that is potentially being added...

Last Modified: 12/3/23
Final Release: 3/16/24

An early version of A.B.A. Pretty much every move would be changed before release.

JEALOUS RAGE -------------------------------
- Can only enter Jealous Rage when Jealousy is above 50%
- Jealous Rage depletes faster.
- Does not apply a flat damage boost.
- Normals give full Jealousy on block (but give less in general).

Raven 63214S/H, throws the 236P projectile. Starts doing 632146S stationary, then shoots the 63214S/H explosion.

The massive gap after the initial hit means that it can be punished before the full laser, which makes it only take 50% meter. If the first hit is RC'd, the opponent is put in an incredibly slow juggle state like +R Justice's version of this move.

A new stage that seemingly takes place in Vialattea due to all the Gears, or perhaps Illyria due to the view of the castle. ~~Presumably the stage releasing with Lucy.~~ This stage is also releasing with Unika.

Frame Data Display will seemingly be releasing with Unika. On launch, this pop-up will appear:

Pictured here is Slayer's 2D on hit:

Total Action is the full length of the action, including startup, active time, and endlag.
Startup is... startup time. No surprises here.
Frame Advantage is the raw frame advantage, including knockdown time.
Follow-Up Window is also frame advantage, but specifically advantage that allows for linking (in other words, not including knockdown time). Had Slayer used f.S (which allows a link back into c.S), the follow-up window would 7. Since he used 2D instead, the follow-up window is 0 as he can not link out of it.

In addition to Frame Data Display, Training Mode got some new features:
- Frame count during input history.
- Negative Penalty can now be toggled.

[WIP] There are various remnants of some kind of battlepass worked on around Season 3. It seems to mostly have been scrapped and I doubt it will be completed, at least not in its current form.

Seemingly, the future will pan out as follows:

Season 4 -------------------------------------------------------------------
Unika
In the Name of Peace
New Dawn, A Future Unfolding
Lucy

Season 5 -------------------------------------------------------------------
Jam? (Due to China)
Three unknown characters
China
Irontown

Season 6 -------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabriel? (Due to Zepp)
Three unknown characters
Zepp
Ocean
