It's acted out on purpose: if I recall correctly he missed a relatively easy win that could've kept him in the fight a bit longer because of an unpunished mistake of GO1. After a minute of desperation, he quickly shifts into proper manner and shakes hands!

This. The great thing about fighting games is that today is one of the best times to join: there's lots of online activity, long past the days in which you needed a local tournament to actually play. You will find a passionate player about literally any fighting game on earth, no matter if it's an indie title (I suggest Punch Planet!) or an old KOF classic. Hell, good rollback implementation even makes playing on (decent) wi-fi actually acceptable.
True! I get what you mean. To be fair, Lucy is also at least a "curious" choice; we can't really say the same about SNK & Capcom basically exchanging their most famous fighters in a desperate hope of selling more to each other's playerbase.
I'm a little sad about Under Night because I can't fully get into the vibe of that game... which is weird, since I love the art direction of melty blood. Just something about those big chunky pixels animated at 60fps.
Arcsystem clearly knows how to make a crossover character that fits into the game's direction while still tying heavily to its origins.
All of the other crossovers I've seen from the popular titles have felt so lifeless in comparison.
Strive 2.0 probably means they'll expand the game's life like they did with REV, by making a REV2 update instead of shifting to a new game altogheter. The new update will probably cost around 30/35 euros. I'm good with this, I think GG:ST has so much life left in it. Incredible how it has been around 5 years already.
