Ragna's finally trying to take his old spot of S tier back? Go Rags go!! I'm pretty sure they did the projectile invul thing to deal with the Lambda matchup. Where can I go for this info?

Hakumen's 6a now has overhead invulnerability... /tears of joy. And yeah, I can see Carnage scissors beating out so many random oki supers for lulz, I approve.

[Eshi]

These Blazblue changes are getting me all hot and bothered.

yeah maybe tager will be a good character this time

SYKE

SHIPPU? SPARK BOLT? NIRVANA? NOEL'S DRIVE?!

Holy shit, it's LuminAbyss. Dat other Ronald McDonald Ragna.

I'm pretty hyped about Carnage Scissors being completely projectile invulnerable now as well. Now I'll stand a fair chance against Pisces Albafica.

Don't expect good news for Noel, though. :[

EDIT: LOL the new Burst mechanic is even awesomer than I thought. Check 8:02 in this video. Even if Bursts hit an opponent's projectiles instead of the actual character, you still get the 25% Heat gain. <3'ing CSII+ so much right now.

Supposedly, 5B 5C connects on air opponents now, which is a HUGE buff in my opinion. The rest is meh.

EDIT OF THE GODS!

5A 5B 5C connects now for Tager. I SHALL WIN ALL MTNG's NOW THANKS TO THIS BUFF!

CS2+ Noel sounds dumb as hell right now. I'll wait further to see how this goes. If it stays bad then my switch to Mu12 will be all but assured.

I'm sure it's gonna change dramatically over time, but let me enjoy the hype of possibly being able to zone as Hakumen.

[Grimstar]

Man fuck this game, I was playing CT Ragna like he was this new Ragna pretending that Carnage Scissors would go through projectiles.

AND NOW THEY MAKE IT WORK

[Seiki]

I like the changes to Bang. He just needed more midscreen damage and that's what they gave him. =]

AWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Noel's changes look pretty awful so far. Tsubaki's do too though, apparently she can't follow up 22D midscreen in this build. Yeah for spending 1 meter to do 900 damage with a 36 frame mix-up!

[LastStarSaviour]

Looks like i'm headed back to C Tier...again T_T

Well I wouldn't go that far, a lot of changes are made from the first loctest to release and they've been getting better about character balance with each revision. I have faith in arcsys!

This. Don't worry about it, Star. I remember going pale-faced at CSII Ragna's initial loketest changes- 5B -> 6A didn't work, Gauntlet Hades couldn't be comboed after, and Forward Throw didn't even corner bound until the final changes. Besides, even with all the nerfs she's gotten so far, she still seems like a solid character.

And Eshi, Tsubaki's changes aren't that bad, are they? 6A Fatal Countering seems like it could open up some amazing possibilities, especially since it forces crouch. With 2D's charge time increasing, I don't see the weird 5D change being too bad. And now you can FINALLY MUGEN IN THE AIR! I know you've been waiting since day one for that change.

[Eshi]

lol mugen... I'm sure the charge stuff will have a net change of nothing. 6A FC is as useful as Litchi's 6A FC (not at all). Generally, FCs only occur when used as frame traps (Ragna 2C, Jin 2C, etc) and the gap between any normal and 6A is too enormous for frame traps. The only buffs to her are combo video material.

The main things that worry me are the nerfs to 623C (214A whiff combos gone), 22D (midscreen unblockable is worthless), and 2C (airdash combos might be affected). Tsubaki seemed like a really well balanced character - strong in many aspects but definitely not without flaws - so I hope they don't just nerf her damage and give nothing in return. I've switched characters every iteration though so it might not even matter. Relius looks amazing but I'm sure Ivysaur will claim him first, haha.

[Top_Cat]

Go back to god tier litchi... I miss you ;_;

Lol you actually lose brain cells playing cs1 litchi.

[LastStarSaviour]

If Record of Agarest War Zero wasn't eating my life, I'd play.

[LastStarSaviour]

I understand completely, it's really good. I was merely throwing a request out there, I haven't fought anyone good in a while so i'm getting rusty.

[Seiki]

I'm online right now Star if you want to play.

[Grimstar]

If Disgaea 3 wasn't eating my life, I'd play.

School has started for all of you, has it not?

[Jackie Chandler]

Tech doesn't start back until the 29th. So that's a no for me.
