[TD]

The way kenji explains it gets me mildly hype for this taro guy even if it is just speculation ^^

I am afraid that Taro thanks to his abilities might become a mid-range zoner (similiar to Amane) or some combination between zoner and grappler (BlazBlue doesn't have that kind of character). In the first case we have several zoners: Lambda, Mu, Nu, Amane, Rachel and mixed one Litchi (I have excluded chars with projectile moves) so I think it's enough? The second seems to be little more interesting: Taro would be able to pull enemies by his strings from med/long distance  and do some special throws, chain throws (depends from meter), shock them with electricity etc. However these "pulling-moves" shouldn't be able to block/cancel too easy. Another grappler who is potentially faster, more agile and more universal than Tager would be fresh. 

 

I like to have Taro ingame too and i want him to be Trap Zoner with mid range slow move. And 3 variable unblockable pulling-move special that unsave even in max range ( opp will recovery first) deal no dam but you can commbo off it with 50 meter or pulling opp to your set trap to continue combo or setplay.

 

But grappler zoner are cool too. I think Killer Instict have one character like that.

BlazBlue Central Fiction's Japanese release date is October the 6th, according to Dengeki.

Screencap in case of it being a mistake to mention now.

So October like vanilla CP. I have zero hopes this will be released this year in the west, specially not with the amount of text the game will have.

Vanilla CP is weird to me because a lot of comments from voice actors at the time would imply the English dub for it was completed before the game even came out in Japan.

The age of online Kunzite draws near.

BB has a history of completing the English battle voices (and battle voices only) prior to the Japan release because the game needs to have them to be able to play with someone who selects them in another region later.  Which I've always felt was silly, but that might be what you are thinking of?

Man, that asshole got mind controlled and killed. He ain't coming back.

[Zedar90]

The date is now gone from Dengeki's article, so they were not supposed to have had that date there.

A little pointless to remove the date, the original article is on google's cache,

Cache.

No no. Actors who only played story mode characters reported voice recording being done before CP Japanese release. Like Amanda C. Miller (Nine) did if I recall correctly, though at the time she couldn't reveal what character she voiced.

Do you guys think we are going to get the arcade version demo with preorder or is it impossible because there too many characters? october is pretty far

I actually hope so, but I also hope they do this for those who order the physical copies too in case they get screwed over of another delay like what happened with GGXrd Revelator.

[Zedar90]

Release date announced(the date we already knew of).

[Tokkan]

Also Limited Edition includes Nendoroid Petit Noel Ver.2, OST and Memorial Book.

Es is the first-print bonus character, a la Terumi, Adachi, Elphelt and Haehyun.

That's strange, never got that impression. I wonder what that means.
No console exclusive character? Or will the console exclusive character be revealed later?

[Toxin45]

So Es is pre order dlc? Wow didn't saw that coming so then who is the first console exsuclive character I lockable from story mode?

Mori said that CF is intended to last for a long span of time, so i guess they will add more DLC characters to keep the game alive.

That's what everybody always said about every game, ever. I don't think it will be different from what any other BlazBlue was handled like.

Edit: I wouldn't mind being wrong.

Sweet. I'm glad we have a release date now but I hope the NA/EU version is reasonably close. I'm not hardcore enough to keep up with the series like I used to but I do want to see how Ragna's story ends this time around and I can't do that with the Japanese version. Here's to hoping Aksys pulls through.

Are you going to put the "Story" in the CF Plot Thread like you did in GGXrd??? I suppose that you will be one of the first on the forum who will obtain Japanese version.

Kan-Ra

Another example similiar to my vision is Omega Red from Capcom's "Children of the Atom" or "Marvel Super Heroes". Generally Scorpion from the MK is an archetype of "pulling" characters thanks to his Kunai.

??? Do you mean talk about spoilers and answer questions about the story? Probably.
So if anyone wants to avoid spoilers, don't go anywhere near the story thread at release and press on my spoiler tags(will use them until at least the NA release).

[JustaMaskedFreak]

I thought we would only be allowed to discuss the Story mode after NA release, with the exception of Es (and any other console exclusive) arcade

When was that rule made?

[JustaMaskedFreak]

I guess since console release was announced, we mentioned something like No Story Mode spoiler until NA release.
