Oh man, the new look of Haku’s Magatama gauge is horrible IMO, I hope they’ll revert to it’s original circle look.
Eh, I think it’s a bit easier to understand, a quick glance and you can see how much magatma you have (if it’s long, you have a lot) but with the circle, I don’t know, I just don’t think it’s a great representation, takes a little bit longer for you to see exactly how much you have.
But maybe it’s just a matter of preference, I personally like the new look
EDIT: So, what exactly is the meter UNDERNEATH Haku’s magatma?
Another heat meter?
Also, another (kinda random) question, could you use Negative Edge in GG?
Are there any pictures of Lambda up yet? Was he/she in the first game? If so can someone remind who me who it is?
Looks like the meter that fills up the Magatamas.
Ohhhh, yeah, duh
:wonder:
Also, there are no pictures up of Lambda, although there has been a picture of her face floating around and she looks pretty much like Nu with blond hair.
Also, yes, she will play much like Nu except less…Broken?
Hmm…
Looks like they took out her 3C combos for this loke test…
Hmm…
Erm…
Huh?!?!
And they changed Tsubame again? Now it’s NOT RCable? They should make up their minds, really… XD
Other changes look interesting, as does Terumi/Hazama… Looks like they’re being real thorough with this one, huh… ^_^;;;
O-O~
Carl can hop cancel like Hakumen.
+1
We still have a limited throw loop but Nirvana loses about 20% health for each clap (so, if Carl was to use his original setup, it’d be 5 claps and 4 throws), so it’s still not an infinite, but at least he can (potentially) still do some good throw damage.
That’s still some real good damage, but it comes at the risk of your doll, which is pretty bad.
So he has a hop cancel?
Que?
Do you mean that his hop allows him to TK stuff, so you can 66j.2c even though it’s not as effective anymore since j.2c isn’t an overhead anymore.
Can someone post all of the new info from DLoop onto here
Much appreciated!
:tup:
Damn dude, they raped Litchi with the nerf stick, no 3C combo’s?
Come on now, they took away like, all of her offense!
I’m not gonna be too bothered at this point in time…
From the sound of things from the people at DL, there are still many loke tests to go through, and so many changes yet to be made… Rachel got George combos back (to a certain degree) in this second loke test, which is still going on, meaning that there’s hope yet…
For those who want to keep up (as I have to sleep, being British and all)…

I’m gonna wait this one out… I’ll be back in the morning… 
O-O~
PS - Qwerty, mate… Dunno how much this’ll hurt ya, but Jin’s freeze stuff has now auto-breakout at the fastest timing, apparently… o_o
Actually, I’m pretty happy about that.
That whole shake thing was a ridiculous mechanic, and I’m glad they took it out
BUT, if Jin is still the same as the last Loke test, AND you don’t have to shake out of ice, that’s a problem.
I’m sure now it’s just a matter of fixing how long you stay stuck in ice for now.
I wonder if some characters get out of ice faster than others, THAT could get interesting.
Like I said previously, Hazama is likely gonna be my main if he’s any good, so I’m not THAT hurt if Jin gets a few bruises from the good ol’ nerf stick.
interesting, so stick jiggling is now useless. i like that actually, it will save wear and tear on your stuff.
my poor jin but my haku gots me excited
I am interested in playing Lambda and new Arakune to see what new stuff they will have for combos.
When you say things like that, my kitten cries…
reads
Oh!
wipes tears from kitten
hes happy now.
Says on Dustloop 4C isn’t cancellable? I’m not exactly sure what this means, can someone please clarify?
Also apparently Haku can’t combo 5C after 41236C. That’s kind of a shame. I don’t suppose there are any videos of the location tests? I am very curious as to how the ‘projectile barrier’ thing works, and how the 6B overheard works as well.
And I mean christ, I hope they don’t forget about Tao 
I bet there are video’s, but probably on like the Japanese Youtube or something, there’s only been one little 15 second clip so far of Tsubaki vs. Bang, and the quality wasn’t anything to write home about so basically we’ve got more information from screenshots and such than actual video
EDIT: Well before, Haku could cancel 4C in to one of his specials. One of the examples someone gave was Haku could do 236a>4c>236a for 4K damage which was insane, So I guess the only time you can combo from 4C as of right now is off of CH, which is good.
I don’t think they actually allow videos at loketests, the short clip was probably snuck in. Hopefully I’m wrong on that though, I’d love to see Hazama in action.
I’m really happy about the Jin ice stuff, I always hate seeing a lot of the blackbeat combos he gets on me because I never feel like waggling like hell.
yeah, negative edge was in GG. eddie was based heavily around it even.
Things that interested me:
OK, so the general consesus on DL forums is that Hazama has aspects similar to Johnny; dash is apparently a hop, is a very close range character, etc, etc. He has a command throw that does no damage, but can be combo’d afterwards.
Tsubaki’s DPs have no invincibility (thank god), but she has a distortion drive with no recovery, i.e. can be used as a reversal. Her charge time is apparently very fast (which has me worried, since her lvl. 5 command throw does 5k, and she herself is a speedy character).
Doesn’t look like this was mentioned yet-

Hazama mirror match. Thoughts gentlemen?
Also Hazama’s winpose are now the new BB memes.
