Wow thanks, oh, other questions.
does the lightning rods dissapear after a certain period of time?
Her Super detonates all the lightning rods?
oh and about Ragnas Blood Kain, that Super only setups his “Soul Devourer” Drive? or does increases his speed or attack?
Winter 08, I believe… so probably December at the latest, November at the earliest.

Scans of Bang and Carl. Translations are always appreciated if possible :lovin: .
carl is looking like he’s going to be a pretty complex character gameplay-wise…i think all of the characters are interesting, dont kno who i’d main yet…maybe arakune…
Yes, the lightning rods do dissapear but they stay there for a good amount of time. I also remember you can only have 3 lightning rods (one for each button) and one dissapears if you launch another one if you already have 3 rods.
For the Super, I only pulled the super off once when there was only 1 lightning rod, but I wouldn’t be surprise if all of them exploded.
One thing that is cool about the Purple Pumpkin is that the Pumpkin flies above Rachel and moves extremely slow, a good projectile to prevent jumping opponents and set up Rod and Frog traps, its best to launch the Pumpkin mid screen or far away though.
I’m not sure about that Ragna question, I didn’t pick him at AX.
I’m going try out Rachel again at EVO, I’m thinking of some strategies I could do with her :bgrin:
Bang
Height: 192 cm.
Weight: 105 kg.
Date of birth: 1/1
Blood type: B
Origin: Country of Light
Hobbies: Training, thinking up names for special techniques (Translator’s comment: It shows in his move names!)
Likes/precious things: Justice and the spike* he carries as a memento of his feudal lord (?)
Dislikes: Evil
“Gosun kugi” (???) means “long nail” or “spike”.
I quote BRPXQXME:
"??? would be 55, and one sun being ~3.03cm, 55 sun is about 66 inches.
At any rate, ??? or just ?? is just one of those words that can mean ?a great number? in older Japanese (-) it basically adds up to mean ?big-ass nail?."
Bang is quick on his feet, but his attacks are quite slow (though powerful). He is a well-rounded fighter, his arsenal including a projectile (aerial qcf+A/B/C/D), a rushing attack (presumably the f, b, f+B ground/air attacks) and a command throw (ground/air dp+C?).
His aerial projectile is limited in supply, but a hit will poison the opponent for a limited time (I assume the effect can be negated by hitting Bang) and also hold him/her in place for a moment.
Bang’s Burning Heart Drive is a slow attack (presumably too slow to combo) that has a guard point (think Anji). It can be followed up on for combos. More importantly, each BH hit adds a “Fuu”, “Rin”, “Ka” or “Zan” mark (spelling “Fuurinkazan”, or “swift as the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as fire and immovable like the mountain”). These marks apparently carry over between rounds.
When Bang has collected four marks, he can perform a third Distortion Drive (qcbx2+D) to enter a special state in which he becomes faster and his attacks do more damage (?). **
Either way, it seems that when in “Fuurin mode” (my abbreviation, use it at will), he cannot block or even walk normally (he will automatically dash, and this dash can be performed in the air), and I believe he will stay in this mode for the remainder of the match?! I wonder if one can combo into the qcbx2+D and then extend the combo with the added speed (as with Ashley’s Heat Up mode in Battle Fantasia)…
** Thanks to Bloodcrave on DL for the corrections!
Carl
(See one of my previous posts for the other stats.)
Likes: His older sister
Dislikes: Lies
Not much new information. His small frame allows him to “hide” behind Nirvana’s attacks (which are slow but powerful). Nirvana remains inert until activated by the D button (plus directions), and apparently its movements are carried out when the D button is released (like Arakune’s insect attacks).
Nirvana has its own life bar, which decreases as she sustains hits (i.e. like Elfriede rather than little Eddie). Should it (she?) be knocked out, the Drive function is disabled for a limited time (in this regard, she resembles Eddie more than Elfriede, who has to be tended to by Lieselotte before becoming available again).
Carl is aimed at players who wish to master a complex character with difficult and spectacular combos.
Nirvana huh? Pretty coo
Yeah definitely reminds me of the Jojo Stands.
and yeah this game is looking fantastic.
Now my most anticipated fighter for next year
Unlikely. Kuni is one of the old provinces of Japan. Hi (?) no Kuni is a nickname for the old Higo Province, for example. Also the name of at least one brewery (???, using a more common variant of ?) that existed at some point and maybe still does (in Hachinohe; nothing to do with Higo, I bet).
Its probably a parody of the fact that every ninja in fiction these days comes from some province or other (usually Iga) so Bang does too. Or maybe someone at Arc just rides the Hinokuni bus to work…
Actually, ??? would be 55, and one sun being ~3.03cm, 55 sun is about 66 inches.
At any rate, ??? or just ?? is just one of those words that can mean a great number in older Japanese, just like myriad almost never means 10000 in English or forty doesnt necessarily mean 40 in the Old Testament. So you have a combination between the cleverly chosen phrases, and it basically adds up to mean big-ass nail.
Trivia time: F?rinkazan is what the signs say in Ryus SF2 stage. Its a reference to Takeda Shingens battle standard, which in turn was referencing Sunzis Art of War.
I require every girl’s three measurements in their profiles.

This is a decent player of Kankuro in Naruto which is a puppeteer character. I always loved that guy, people often made the mistake fighting the puppet instead of trying to get at you since Kankuro himself was only meh in close combat. I hope for something similar wiith Carl :wgrin:
Oh, and many thanks for you translation again umgogo :tup:
Next: MAJOR Scandal
As hidden research turns up, Ragna is a girl!! Look it up on google images. :lovin:
i hope Nirvana doesn’t RAEP his opponents like at 0:40.
Kitsune! You dare soil the thread of BlazBlue with Naruto?! Kankuro is pretty cool though.
It wouldn’t be bad if Carl was more like that.
Well the puppet didn’t have a health bar or anything in naruto. Unlike Nirvana. and like you said kankuro himself had very little offensive abilities. I don’t think that’d work well if the puppet can die
If anything I’m thinking carl plays like a character from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure(the fighter)
If he played like kankuro, I think he’d be lame.
[media=youtube]Jp3FGGw3wqQ[/media]. Bang vs. Arcane. Arcane looks sick!
Kick ass!!!
Now that is one beautiful looking 2D fighter!!!
Where is the vid from?
woohooooo… thanx man:woot:
edit
i can hear sbx in the back
edit 2
Bang vs Ragna (meh quality and weird angle)
[media=youtube]mct_OwZ4zVk[/media]
The more I see of Bang the more I like him. Good stuff.
Arakune looks awesome. That vid makes the whole game look better than any footage I’ve seen before. Thanks for posting it Doren2k.
Does Arakune remind anyone of Shuma Gorath from MvC?
Just the way he attacks and changes form and stuff. He seems like a very slow character, but I love it how the little insects start flying around after he curses someone. That looks soooo annoying for the opponent. XD
