They buffed my Hakumen? Suckers. I was only pretending to fail against projectiles and pretty much everything Rachel does.

Now, all he needs is AIR SNOWSTORM and he'll be the undisputed champion of video games and start a whole new category of ragequit.

Sounds like a general nerf with a few minor buffs,

NOEL
- 6A doesnt hit on most character's crouch motion
- Change to chain revolver, blueish color is now black
- Combo damage nerfed, combo from 6B does 3100
- You can counter Bullet Rain after Noel lands
- 236A/B/C becomes faster
- 6D becomes faster
- 22C loop nerfed, does only 2700 to Rachel
- new J6D move
- new move which is the 'old JD' directly from the ground
- 5C is shorter but faster
- 6C is slower
- 6C loop combo is still doable, but it is very hard and need to add 5A to do the loop
- 5A is slower

Basically seems like she'd have to work harder to get stuff done. I atleast know 5A was fast as hell and used a lot, so that one probably hurts.

Fuuuuu... Most of these sound unnecessary... the changes to 6B and 6C. Especially the 6C changes. This hurts her pressure, anti-air, and really damages her combo possibilities. If the 6B combo damage nerf didn't already hurt enough. The 5A, 6A, and 6B changes really hurt her mixup game. What the fuck else does Noel have besides speed and mixup? Not much. Why they would slow these down, nerf damage, and change hit boxes (6A) is beyond me. And then of all things they speed up 6D??? Wow, who the hell cares. These changes sound horrible.

Also, did I just read that 2D is no longer an overheard? WTF... I'm switching mains if any of the changes stay this way. Absolutely disgusting.

Tsubaki looks fun :D

And it seems they'll be reusing the same music again, since Gale was playing and it didn't sound all that different. I'm one of those people that's been wondering about the music changes (if any) since it's so godly and an important part of my enjoyment of the game :D Glad to see it'll be the same because it's too early for alterations :p I can't wait to hear the new characters' themes, though! Hopefully there's a new character-versus-character-specific track...I love all the current ones :D

I know. It's the stupidest rubbish and it makes no sense. Noel was perfect. She didn't need a buff or a nerf. You had to be really quick and good at mix-ups to be effective with her, and now I don't even how the hell one can play Noel. She is now the BlazBlue equivalent of Dan.

I'm hoping that they're just trying to give Noel more of a drive emphasis. If 6D is faster, then maybe the rest of her Chain stuff gets faster, or at least more frame invincibility. She needed more ways to initiate the Chain anyways - this new Noel version may be to focus on that.

Hmm, the only two super strong playable characters are Hakumen
who was weakened by staying in that field thing for hundred years
and Rachel who is toying with you.

That I can remember.
Click to expand...

Ragna also falls in that category.
If I recall correctly, he only uses his real powers against Hakumen and Nu.

And I'm not sure, but I think Hakumen fights Ragna with only 20% of his full power...

Maybe 1/4 of the cast isn't too many, but I finished the story completely disappointed... it started so well!
The amount of "I know everything, but I'm too cool to tell you" characters is just unacceptable.

Someone is in trouble.

Now to hope there is a few more characters. 2 more would be good IMO, 16 is a much nicer number then 14, and a 25% more characters seems like a great bullet point.

The new addition of Hazama as a character is pretty good news. He should be a brand new standalone type with that fighting style. This means there are only 2 new characters left if the rumors are true. Jubei should be one of them, and if ARC is smart they'll release the game at 39.99.

It's different now. I just sent him a PM to take those links down, quick. I hope he does it before the justice department catches him (hopefully they don't play blazblue). Would hate to lose him. :(

I see nothing!

Oh yeah, unless Tsubaki's personality turns beserk, I'll be playing Noel as a sub.

Edit:
Oh darn, I just found out each page in a thread is fifty posts long. I can't bump the page fast enough for ya, FoxSpirit. Get back from your potty quick!

Well, a lot of characters hold back at certain parts of the story. Not because of being too strong, though. I don't remember that thing about Ragna though

Weren't there only 2? Rachel and Terumi. The others were only either completely clueless or only had a partial idea of what was going on.

During the True Ending, Ragna unleashes the full power of his fake Azure Grimoire and then you play as Unlimited Ragna for the rest of it.

Hazama looks awesome...I may just have to try him out! :D

Oh, and, Icana, I would like to play as Tsubaki at least once :p But we're never gonna play again 'cause you seem to hate XBL and never go on D: I guess you haven't found the right games and people to make it worth your money.

Screw Tager. SCREW HIM! *looks at Papercuts*

:p

Your Litchi got a lot better atleast, nauseating corner rape and all. :p

:D!

I forgot how much fun Litchi was; though, I'm not sure who my main is anymore. My Hakumen's pretty much gone to shit :p Maybe only when I play you, though, since I have to be pretty conservative--you know, Tager set-ups and all.

Icana, let's play before your membership expires!

Also: God, I wish I could finish Story Mode already =/ I wanna know everything! Bang still has NEW while Ragna's at 87% and Tager at 75% :lol Everyone else is done :p

And Bang's story is the best one. :(

I hate your combos D: I never know when to tech. I was getting pissed off, too (though it's my fault for experimenting), 'cause I would always see perfect opportunities to do a DD but would mess up the input =/ Failure gets frustrating after a while--especially when it costs you </3

Rachel, Kokonoe, Terumi, Jubei and Valkenhayn seem to know everything or near everything there is to know about what is happening. The first two are easily the worst offenders I have ever seen!

Haku-men knows a lot too, but it seems he is kinda behind for been sealed all that time... was it 90 years? And he is not the kind of character who will talk about stuff.

There are well informed characters too, but you are right about them not knowing the biggest parts of the story... (Arakune, Jin and Litchi)

The rest are pretty much clueless.

Noel was something-12
Nu was well, nu-13,
I think she could be a new character.

... I hope Nu didn't die!

Hmm... Is it me or Hazama is looking a lot like Axl Low? (Not only in appearance but also in style)

On a second thought, I think lambda could be the replacement for nu... :(

Yeah, one of my favorite things about playing Tager is all of his tech traps. Punish for techs, punishing for not teching, then people get confused and I can just roll with whatever and see what happens.

Eh, it happens to everyone. I was butchering stuff like crazy in a few rounds, I don't know what happened. I even did a basic throw and just completely forgot the follow up or mistimed the AC.
