Deletion, also called Eliminate in Guilty Gear Isuka, is one of A.B.A's Special Attacks, first appearing in Guilty Gear Isuka.
Renamed Menace and Groan (威喝と嗚咽, Ikatsu to Oetsu?, lit. Threatening and Sobbing) in Guilty Gear -Strive-.
Overview[]
A.B.A swipes at her opponent downwards with her leading hand, smacking them with one of her arm bandages. In Isuka for either mode and XX Slash onwards in Sacrifice/Double-Edge Mode, orange energy in the brief shape of a primal-beast illustration emits from her bandage-arm swing.
After this, she can follow up with:

  +  after Deletion

Regular A.B.A's version has her face away from her foe as she thrusts at them with the same hand as a black key emerges from said bandages).
In Isuka for both modes, while only in Sacrifice/Double-Edge Mode in XX Slash onwards, the hand thrust is covered by a brief red aura while her wrist is also thrust-through a red rune circle. EX A.B.A.'s version has her backhand her opponent's ankles with her following hand in a spin, essentially using her normal mode's far standing Both followup inputs can only trigger from Deletion on hit or block. She can then end the combo with: |

Condemnation (断獄, Dangoku?) |
   + after Ruin

Regular A.B.A's version has her swing Paracelsus diagonally down, making him land on his head while she hoists him back up.
In Isuka, yellow-and-purple electricity coat Paracelsus in both Normal and Sacrifice/Double-Edge Mode, though it can only be triggered if Ruin happens to connect on hit. In XX Slash onwards, energy no longer coats Paracelsus in Normal Mode, but the energy emitted only in Sacrifice/Double-Edge Mode is in the form of a wind-tunnel-effect that also has a small crater shockwave, while also being colored more yellow than purple. It can also be performed if the whole rekka/multi-input sequence was blocked instead of needing Ruin to connect only on hit. The move in games before Accent Core ground bounces on hit, while it instead ground slides in all Accent Core versions. EX A.B.A's version only as of XX Slash has her kick-swing Paracelsus up, having him breathe electricity while the blade is set on fire, basically akin to her default Sacrifice/Double-Edge Mode |

|
A.B.A climbs up Paracelsus and swings herself off him for swinging inwards kick attack that hits overhead.
Can only be done as regular A.B.A, and only in the Accent Core games. |

+ after Ruin (Sacrifice Mode)
|
A.B.A climbs up Paracelsus and flips over, double-toe-kicking through a bubble-shaped projectile in the form a brief-glossed spike image before landing on her knees away from them, then getting back up. Hits overhead, but blocking it standing results in the defender getting staggered (with only chip damage taken) as a unique form of guard break.
Can only be done as regular A.B.A, and only in the Accent Core games. |
Restriction and Constraint (抑圧と束縛, Yokuatsu to Sokubaku?)
In Guilty Gear -Strive, A.B.A can follow up with Restriction and Constraint, tossing Paracelsus diagonally towards the ground. When used in Jealous Rage, it causes a ground bounce on hit.
