what, so it could be JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER fighter with a human-only cast?
please, It’s because of this attitude that we aren’t getting diverse casts anymore like the ones found in Darkstalkers. Blazblue is frigging awesome because of it’s nonhumans.
Also man…Hazama IS Anon. We are all royally screwed now.
It helps that non-humans are generally cooler and more interesting in fighting games. Same old shit with human characters gets boring after a while.
Oh, and speaking of the changes, I think you all need to consider that they are rebalancing it with the new system changes in mind. I have faith that it will turn out to be more balanced in the long run…at least I hope so.
edit: Tagar is sooooorta black…not really, but kinda. Especially if you take his US voice actor into account. And Taokaka could be a single mom if those kitties belong to her.

Order-Sol style character
charge with 5D, 2D and JD
charge meter goes down when charged-special move is used
charge Lv.1 command throw does 1800 damage, whereas charge Lv.5 command throw does 5000 damage
charge speed is very slow, nothing compared to Order-Sol
able to do charge cancel like Order-Sol
there is a super like Haku-men’s Mugen which will give infinite charge meter
236A~D is the move looks like Order-Sol’s Rock-it(236S), speed changes depends on the button
22A~D, spin sword move
214A~D charge forward with shield, links from 5c.
623A~D DP, probably has invincibility
J236A~D dive move in the screenshot
J214A~D move from screenshot
236236C~D, C version doesn’t spend meter and just shoot out the magic circle, D version spends the meter and shoot projectiles towards the magic circle shot out by C version
5A standing punch, probably can’t hit crouching
5B wings come out of shield. Probably the longest attack of 5b class.
5C has follow up, reach seems really short.
2B a low, links into 5b
2C extend wings upwards, probably anti-air
6A overhead
6B low
6C slam forward with shield, looks like tager’s sledge?
Am I missing something with All Green? Yeah, it wallbounces and was pretty fast, but I don’t remember it being so abusable that it needed to be slower… o_o
Easier tech on Tsubame AND no normal combo after Tsubame? Hmm, if I can still combo normally on Rapid Cancel, then I’ll have to get used to using 50% then, huh… =_=
Well… Yeah? XD I’m so used to starting off with 5B…
See above on Tsubame views…
If I read that right (that jD = new j2D), then aww… I loved the angled stick shot that was the old jD… T.T Hope we can still do that…
Yay for new D command normals!!! ^.^ Will be messing around with that. Wonder if the Flying Kick of Doom will have any interesting properties to it…
So far, the changes overall in the game sound interesting… We’ll have to listen out for more info… Let’s hope it keeps coming…
This isn’t an update or rebalance, it’s a sadistic attempt at torturing people who played the top tier of BB:CT by even removing good character traits as well as the nerfs.
First Nu died
Then we are hearing that Rachel may be losing her loliness
I’m betting on Arakune losing his craziness or his pretty bubblegum colour next:bottle:
the wind was nerfed so in turns that nerfs the pumpkin.j.s2 is nerfed so in turn nerfs rachels rushdown by a shitload! Rushing in with pumpkin will not be threathing at all. Honestly i cant see rachel now becoming bottm tier if those changes i saw are permanent.
thats what im thinking myself, Rachel is gonna become bottom tier in this version with so many nerfs, she already has no defensive options.the matchup with nu is not gonna change at all, in fact makes it worst because nu probabdly will have close range options now, if she doesnt then she’ll be bottom tier also.For them to take so much away need to replace it without something else not as good as what the character had.
