The shaded vanilla palettes are sick.
Where do you see the release date info? I only see Summer 2010 in the scans.
Hm…Originally Suzaku on Dustloop posted it with a June 25 release date, which I copied, but it looks like he edited his post to where it only says summer 2010. Apologies, I’ll edit my post.
However, apparently Mu is console-exclusive. Sounds tourney-illegal to me. boo.
Yup tourney illegal :lol:
Hmm, from the **BIG ASS ** sword on her back I’m glad she probably won’t play like Nu/Lamaba but I wonder if she will get a brand new “Drive”.
So in BB console exlusives are illegal, but in SFIV they’re not?
She looks a bit like a BB-Dizzy, somehow
What Yin said.
I like Mu’s design… she’s like a voluptuous version of Noel. Hawt.
Yeah i don’t get that either and i’m sad this won’t be at evo this year, but cheers to meltyblood
How does Noel fit all that hair under her beret?
I can’t wait to see if she has her own type of armor like Nu and how she plays. So far every single character has had a very different visual appeal and just as different game play, excitement is in the air
I doubt we will know too much till the game is released sadly.
IIRC the BB/GG community follows the Japanese standard “If they weren’t playable in the arcade they’re not tourney legal”
e.g: Kliff, Justice, and the EX characters in GGAC…
and OP please edit the thread title, there’s still no concrete release date yet…
Even though it won’t be part of Evo I’m excited for CS. Especially seeing Noel in her ?-12 form (see image below)

If it really does come out in June maybe we can get a side tourney going or at the very least some competitive casual.
With the amount of console characters added as well as the popularity, it makes sense the SF4 community allows console characters.
This game, however, the way they did a poor job of balancing BB:CS, I don’t want to see Mu-12 in any tournaments =/
Wait a second…
Spoiler about Noel
[details=Spoiler]Isn’t Noel supposed to be Mu-12?
Could it be possible she activates, and the big sword is the true Azure Grimoire?[/details]
Makes my earlier observation much more interesting…
edit: Oops, didn’t realize Kapwan13 had already noticed this too. ^^;
how balanced is cs? i heard that every character is viable except rachel, is that an overstatement?
Mu is the only time I thought Noel actually looked good!
Never liked her old look!
Twenty bucks says it’s just V-13.
I always though of Kliff/EX as more “for fun”/“bonus”-characters not really intended for play rather than something like “console characters”.
And Justice was a boss after all.
So it doesn’t really feel like the same situation… But sure, I can see your point. It’s just a shame that a possibly balanced character will go to waste in this arcades-are-gone age.
Noel with the golden gun? on her color palette. looks interesting…
Seeing as where the generation is going, I don’t necessarily see a reason to ban Noel bot instantly. MBAA has console characters and has not banned them with the exception of Arc Earth (who is a boss.)
They did a much better job than CT.
That’s pretty much it. Rachel is quite poor, Bang and Litchi are too strong but not nearly as bad as Nu/Arakune/Rachel were(Probably because Litchi/bang dont have nuts space control/mobility), everyone else falls in the middle.(Tsubaki towards the end but has won japanese tournaments, Ragna in 3rd place, etc…)
