incredible… i don’t think they’ll allow her to be THAT nerfed, that basically almost renders her unplayable now. Now i feel like maining ragna. lol
That is probably the worst nerfing so far.
The thing is, Kune and Rachel may have got it just as bad, but at least it was warranted. With Noel it just doesn’t even make sense, she was always mid-tier at best, why would they nerf her to hell?
Once again, this is so very early in these little tests, so people really shouldn’t be losing there minds at this point.
But just the fact that ArkSys even considered some of these changes makes me wonder what these guys were on while making BB
It seems that everyone got the nerf stick with the exception of Tager and Bang.
As a Noel main it baffles me how they can take what few good moves she had (5A, 6C, 6A, 2D) and turn them into shit. I mean, it’s not like she’s bursting with options like other mid-tier characters (Jin anyone?).
Did AssSys even see the SBO lineup for BB? 2 NOELols TOTAL.
I hope this Nu (I think they call it Lambda now) will actually be worth playing. I mean, granted, I’ll have to work more for the win but I hope she’s still fun to play as. I mean, she’s a robot loli! How could you not love a robot loli?

Hazama is confirmed.
I think I’ve said that like 5 times since the changes were first announced. I also said something along the lines of EVERYONE being nerfed shouldn’t be too much of a problem. And yet the world is somehow ending…
Not exactly ready to freak out about a game I haven’t played yet. Also, hooray Hazama!
Since Jin is essentially Ky, and Ragna is basically Sol, here’s hoping for a completely new character (as in, not even seen or mentioned in Calamity Trgger) that plays like Johnny. C’mon Arc System Works, you can do it!!! :rock:
So I can do this in HD…

EDIT:
Hazama is dressed like Johnny, if they play anything alike, I will have a new duo: Carl and Hazama instead of Carl and Noel. Srry, Noel, you’re a creepy cat-lady to me now…
EDIT NUMBA TWO: Here’s hoping for Hazama to be either low tier or piss-difficult to use, so that I wont have to deal with endless mirror matches…

Sounds very nice, I always welcome the chance to see a new trap character :lovin:
Yeah if they mean ‘that’ combo, then her oki game/mixups get cut in half or worse. Especially in the corner. [m] 2A, 5B sounds useful. But yeah, Litchi neeeeeeeeds those Tsubame, 6C mixups.
Can anyone elaborate on what 6D and 4D do now? I saw a picture of some kick she was doing, was that the new 4D?
Hmm…if they take away Litchi’s corner rape then they better up her damage or something. If not, yeah…Hazama looks like fun. :lol:
Just came to post about the Hazama news! Think this might be my new main if Noel keeps the loc test changes. Very cool!!!
Also, Hakumen got some pretty hefty buffs too. It kind of hurts they nerfed his 2c dusloop, but from what I hear you can still do the air combo (the notation is just different now, and I guess you can’t do it as many times?)
And if you want to be technical about it, Hakumen’s Dragon punch is pretty beastly. Has like 14 frames of invulnerability, counts as a grounded move (unblockable in the air), and resets air options. Of course, it has to be done in the air, but for what you get, it’s beastly.
There’s nothing to be sad about with Haku-men’s changes. He’s become a better overall character according to the info of the first loke test. I’m perfectly happy with his changes (or buffs in this case). It’s the Noel nerfing that hurts me. I might have to bump Noel down to secondary and bump Haku-men up to main if the Noel changes actually do stay.
Relax guys, I highly doubt they are going to just leave Noel as is in these loke tests… That’s why they have these things ya know 
Well yeah, next loke test is next upcoming weekend I read. Will just have to wait and see how things turn out there.
I’m sorry, but Hazama is just too fucking cool.
I’m sure I’m not the only one around here who will be subbing/maiming him.
I mean, I’m probably gonna still main Jin as long as he isn’t terrible, but if he sucks, Tsubaki and Hazama are gonna be ones to consider.
So, question(s): Will these new characters be in the Euro version?
Will all the new buffs/nerfs be in the Euro version?
Will the Euro version work on a North Ameriacn console?
Man, everybody’s like “I’m maining Hakumen now!”
gawddamnit, where were you assholes when Hakumen had to scrap for his wins!
Yeah, reading the list of nerfs to noel, it’s disheartening.
They also nerfed Hakumen’s Zantetsu btw (which I’m fine with, since I heard you can combo off 3C now without needing a counterhit.)
don’t look at me. i always mained haku-men.
i hope he gets more awesome alt.colors
The minute we all saw old dude in the art for the console release, you knew he’d make the roster in the next game. Surprised that apparently both he and Tsubaki are going to be fairly fast characters, I shouldn’t be but I am a little.
Hazama looks so cool, I really hope he’s a rushdown character and not a zoning one, but look at all those projectiles and the ability to teleport :/. Unless he’s like Chipp, that’d be awesome memememememeeeeee. I guess he could be a trap character.
