What I have gathered from the latest Arcadia/Tougeki Damashii issues:
Arakune
“Chishiki wo musaboru madou no tankyuusha” (“Knowledge-coveting investigator of the evil ways”)
It moves slowly, but its transforming and teleporting antics make it a tricky character.
The Zero Vector is an air-exclusive projectile that travels at a slow pace in a “special” (unusual?) path/orbit.
P naraba Q is a “feint” move (presumably its teleport), while y, two-dash is a rushing attack.
As you have seen in the videos, the f maru g Distortion Drive is a dive-bomb-style aerial attack that travels straight down, while the f inverse fires a beam directly upwards (TD says it is useful for anti-air and combos).
Bang Shishigami
“Kanki afureru ninja no touryou” (“The ninja leader overflowing with manly spirit”)
As you know by now, his dp+C moves are command throws and the f, b, f+B moves are rushing attacks.
The effect of his throwing nails are determined by the button used:
A = poison (slow life drain)
B = capture (containment - unsure how it works)
C = the nails “bounce” (to what degree I have yet to see)
D = three nails are thrown in a fan formation (this obviously decreases the number of remaining nails by three)
Litchi Faye Ling
Note: My Japanese expertise falls short of the task of properly translating Litchi’s move names, so any help is appreciated.

Special moves available without the Mantenbou

This move visually resembles Terry Bogard’s Power Geyser. Apparently, it does not come out very quickly, and it is suggested that it might come into its own when used in conjunction with the summoning of the Mantenbou.
