Dickinson Enters the Battle

Also, according to Gamespot, Dickinson also appeared earlier in the background of the Neo New York Stage in Guilty Gear Xrd.
In-game, Dickinson wields a big coffin-like briefcase with an iron chain connected in it. The said case have labels installed in front it, with words such "AREA 51 UNITED STATES" and "WARNING Extra-Terrestrial DO NOT ENTER!" in them.
In the reveal trailer for the character, a bluish lanky hand was seen to appear in the case once it is open for attacks. Aside from the hand, Dickinson also attacks his opponents using the said case, a minigun, a spiked drone, and his cybernetic that can callout lasers from above.
According to Sportskeeda, Dickinson is a fan-favorite because he is a walking amalgamation of weirdest stereotypes of American law enforcement as well as conspiracy theories surrounding the country's secret military projects regarding the extra-terrestrial beings.
He is also a fantastic addition to the roster, being the second grappler in the game in which players can invest to aside from Potemkin. This is because of his heavy-hitting attacks despite of him being a slow.
