Kyosuke Kagami Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 U SODA! Trust me, I scan all those A-Cho vids and we gets hours of shit! [aka no Bullet] don't be lying to me boy! But I am not lying, JAM D: I wish I could see more Izayoi, though. She's definitely RARE as heck.
Surf Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 U SODA! Trust me, I scan all those A-Cho vids and we gets hours of shit! [aka no Bullet] don't be lying to me boy! Only because N-O isnt really playing her anymore it seems. In the reveal trailer he does Hazama 2B > 3C. So he will share some of his normals at least. Yea and the animation of 3C is slightly different.
Agni Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Bullet is still a good character, however she isn't nearly as easy/auto-pilot as other characters, so why increase your needed difficulty by reducing your guaranteed winning margin? ---Competitive Thought Process Under that logic everyone would play top-tier characters. Yet that's not what happens.
Luminos564 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Under that logic everyone would play top-tier characters. Yet that's not what happens. But it does have a weight of truth to it. Look at how many people took to playing Makoto once CSII hit. She was damn near everywhere because of how stupidly easy she was to pick up and win with. Then the Extend nerfbomb was dropped on her and subsequently, nearly everyone dropped her. Not everyone is like Goro, who can still do decently well with her. Other people just want to win with the least amount of effort needed. It's why Ragna's playerbase hasn't really diminished, even though he was never truly the top tier character.
SolxBaiken Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 But I am not lying, JAM D: If you say so Pinocchio Under that logic everyone would play top-tier characters. Yet that's not what happens. lol it was more jest than serious conjecture but character with higher chance of winning =/= top tier. In some cases they just happen to fall together. It's all about the Loyalist baby~

Shitloads of Jin/Noel/Hazama.
Kyosuke Kagami Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) "there were never many makotos on CSII netplay" I call this bullsht. 8 of each 10 matches in ranked and player were fucking Makotos. Game became so lol it wasn't funny. Funny thing is, Valky was also strong but you don't see him as much. Maybe because he actually needs a bit more practice and skill? Or me lying to myself?

RurouniLoneWolf Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Merry Blazmas Thank you, Santa Kurushii! Love that his OD animation makes his hood come off.
Urichinan Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 They taunt and tease me with Kokonoe and Nine/Phantom. =( Really love his battle art in story mode, I think it looks better on him than it does on Hazama.
Surf Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Really wish he didnt have those weird black markings on his hoodie. An added detail thats not really welcomed, it was fine before.
Luminos564 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Merry Blazmas Man if I still believed in Santa Claus I'd think today was Christmas. Thanks Kurushii. there were never many makotos on CSII netplay. plenty in japan, I guess. but over here people tier whore the S- tier. Shitloads of Jin/Noel/Hazama. Well I was more referring to the arcade scene in Japan as opposed to online, because online can royally bumspank Makoto due to lag on her Drives. It is why you also don't see Taokaka online much either due to possible lag killing her combos. Though I know Japan loves their S-tiers, but I brought up Makoto specifically because she was a lot more present then as soon as Extend hit, boom, dropped like a diseased rat while the others remained fairly consistent.
SolxBaiken Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 His OD is called Nightmare Reaper D: too bad Hazama's a tool because then him and Ragna could've fought some big bad together combing Nightmare Rage and Reaper = w= That story scan places him in Orient Town, I really hope that's still apart of the Phase Shift Reconstruction [although whoa, the forever standing Orient Town!] I just don't want any more time shenanigans .v.
Errol Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 makoto is a different story anyway because she went from the unquestionable best character to the unquestionable worst character*. or tied with tsubaki
SoWL Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Merry Blazmas Let's see what we got here. - His dash is a regular running one, not a Hazama-like step. - Has an OTG special move called Ganengeki that can be comboed from in a corner. Kick them while they're squirming on the ground! - His OD, Nightmare Reaper, simply improves the strength of his Drive and DDs. The Drive also drains more meter in OD.
Putin Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 lol not only they just "added" a coat to Hazama's idle sprite to get Terumi's one, they also had to recycle his story art. No big deal though, he looks hype as hell, inb4 he permanently removes his hood in OD or maybe not, he's not Noel after all
Skye Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 So his OD makes it so he steals more heat with his drive?
Luminos564 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 So his OD makes it so he steals more heat with his drive? Apparently so. I foresee some crazy OD combos that take your opponent from full 100 Heat to 0 once people learn how to use it. You'll enjoy doing it to others but hate getting it done to you. Oh...wait...how long do you figure Terumi mirror matches will last? "Hey dumbass I just stole your meter". "Bitch please, I stole your meter".
BladeOfJustice7 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Merry Blazmas Thanks for the upload Kurushii, wow terumi really fought differently back in the day, he taps into more of his powers than he does now, be it with magic at least. I wonder what caused him to change his fight style over the years, was it the need to remain incognito so people don't discover he was Terumi of the 6 Heroes? I wonder if he'll only share a theme with Hakumen or if he'll also have the 6 Heroes theme? He looks dope, and I can see he'll be integral to the 6 Heroes story line in CP. Funny thing is, Valky was also strong but you don't see him as much. Maybe because he actually needs a bit more practice and skill? Or me lying to myself? Top tier high execution characters are always played less than easier to learn top tiers. Valkenhayn is one of the harder characters to use in the BB cast.
Surf Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Let's see what we got here. - His dash is a regular running one, not a Hazama-like step. Oh god. This was the one reason why I didn't play Hazama, his step dash. Ho man I cant wait to play him
SoWL Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Apparently so. I foresee some crazy OD combos that take your opponent from full 100 Heat to 0 once people learn how to use it. You'll enjoy doing it to others but hate getting it done to you. So, just like any other OD combo, then.
beanwich Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Merry Blazmas Happy birthday to me! Thanks a lot for this! Very revealing...
Luminos564 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 So, just like any other OD combo, then. I was actually joking though since this (potentially) creates some lovely situations. Player X (Tager): Ugh he OD combo'd me. Luckily my health is the size of an aircraft carrier and I still have full meter so I can... Player Y (Terumi): LOL, nope. No meter for your G.E.T.B. Player X: Oh...shit.
beanwich Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Merry Blazmas :8/: Birthday celebration may have to wait, I just read on the scan: "Download Contents", does that just mean the game itself will have downloadable contents, or is it pertaining to Terumi in that the only way to get him is through DLC?
Luminos564 Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 :8/: Birthday celebration may have to wait, I just read on the scan: "Download Contents", does that just mean the game itself will have downloadable contents, or is it pertaining to Terumi in that the only way to get him is through DLC? It's probably just referring to Terumi being a DLC pre-order. Though I don't doubt we'll get some other form of DLC as well. Can you say, Nine voice packs ladies and gentlemen?
