wow…this game is all about taokaka.and ragna

I wonder if the little guy/girl/thing with the top hat is related to her in some way

i have decided
i like the chinese girl

Not really, after multiple loke tests, Japan rated Noelle to be top.

I’m wondering where the loke test vids are of today. It’s around 5:46pm right now in Japan… I guess we won’t get anything for around 4 - 6 more hours if anything.

-Tha Hindu

i guess that he was talking about the story of the game :wgrin:

and no theres no new vids until now, but i will keep my eyes open

That sounds incredibly lame.

Well… it’s different…

-Tha Hindu

How is it different?

You just said she played like Angel.

Lame.

But Angel is awesome.

From Dustloop! I think I found mai waifu :slight_smile:

No homo.

Ninja = check
Exposed muscular midriff = check
Devil-may-care expression = check
Spiky hair = check
Red scarf = check

Oh my…we have the sexy ninja archetype. Now all we need is an angry pirate.

And hitlag is stylish in games. How can you not love it?

Especially those “bash” type attacks with super exaggerated hitlag. I love it.

Yo, Chipp 2.0

I knew that shit was comin

lolz

I call him Chinji. Get it? Oh c’mon you guys are slow.

god damn. his name is friggin’ “Bang Shishigami”?!

he’s so . . . generic

I like generic ninjas. And Bang is an awesome name >.<

OMG!! now please ASW reveal the Top hat guy!!! Id be awesome if he has some sword based fighting style like…Fencing for example

yeah, because she was original

shit, is noel going to be another close range gun toting character?

gay

Bang’s move names are generic on an almost Konoha-like level, too:

Drive

D
Burning Heart
Attacks which cause the opponent to combust (be set on fire). A successful hit gives Bang a Fuurinkazan icon (presumably used to perform one of his Distortion Drives, see below).

Third Distortion Drive
??? (the name is only partially visible)

Notes

I am unsure about “Banzai” - the picture quality prevents me from reading the kanji as well as I would like.

As for Fuurinkazan, it basically means (swift as the) wind, (silent as the) forest, (fierce as the) fire and (solid as the) mountain. Do a Wikipedia search for more detailed information.

My impressions

Apparently, Bang is proficient in aerial combat (three aerial special moves!) and can collect icons for later use. Hopefully, his third Distortion Drive is a comboable command throw that can be done while airborne. His design is IMO somewhat sub-par (Samurai Spirits Hanzo crossed with a Basara character - unfortunately not sporting the better parts of each), but his playing style could prove to suit me very well.

Despite his ninjahood, I wonder if he will turn out to be a semi-power-based fighter. Taokaka and Noel are speedsters/combo pixies, Rachel (and probably Arakune) seem to be trap/zoning characters and Ragna and Jin are the allrounders. So far, Tager is the only enforcer…

uhum, these designs look kinda…boring and dry. im really not feeling the characters at all cept for the main guy.

my neck hurts from watching those pics…

edit: wait a minute is he fighting with a giant NAIL?!

Yes he is…

he seems a very very interesting character IMO

He seems like Order-Sol + Jam + Chipp
