Yes. It says that. However, it says the Vita version will be getting the rebalance first.

[RurouniLoneWolf]

I see. Thank you for the swift reply.

Guess it's officially time to start praying to Mori every night before I go to bed for Bullet and Izayoi buffs. Also, Rachel combos that are easier on the execution would be nice too ^,^

Lol at the easier Rachel combos. That is some wishful thinking.

I wonder if they will try and hit all the top tier or if this is just a target nerf to the Koko. If they nerf Azrael in the slightest I am going straight back to Rachel.

Also I truly fear a heavily buffed Amane or Izayoi. Both characters already have their strong moments.

I bought the digital version of Famitsu from Bookwalker.

The name of the Island in the gag route is Rival Island(強敵島(ともじま))

There is a summary of the Blazblue series included where you watch the Blazblue characters talking about the events in the series. There is a screenshot of Ragna, Celica and Rachel talking in front of a TV with a CG of Ragna who gets stabbed by Nu.

And there is some changes with the Abyssmode. The Items one equips has a cost, for example ANTI-AH(cost 3) and BERSEKER(Cost 2) which fills the max cost 5 that one can have, meaning if you want to equip something new like UNDER CURSE(cost 2) one must be replaced.

And I don't really believe it needs to be repeated but, there is a update of the Arcade version mid Mars with Kagura, Terumi, Kokonoe and some re-balance for the characters.

Needs more Makoto.

Nice Ragna hoodie.

If they make a new balance patch, they better fix Kokopuffs, I swear. Makoto buffs would be nice too.

No justice at beach event?

A character re-balancing in mid-March you say? Fuck yeah. Buff Haku-men and Kokonoe please. They're not killing the other characters fast enough and since some of them actually stand a chance against them this needs to be fixed. Please buff Makoto and Bullet. I think the poor girls have suffered enough, especially Makoto. Izayoi buffs couldn't hurt. Oh and nerf Hazama. I can stand most of the other top tiers, but just bust his ass down to mid for once, pretty please.

[Loli Bacon]

Honestly for Kokonoe, I think if Blackhole prorated like a bitch, 22B took longer to recharge, Graviton meter went down more, and combo damage drops (probably 6B SMP), she'd be fine.

Platinum needs a damage buff as well. Goddamn. Or at least revert the pushback of her 5C on block to EX 5C.

[NecroTheReaper]

Character rebalancing sounds nice. I hope Relius stays in his lower end of the top tier characters though. Maybe a 2C buff? xD not like he needs it, I just suck with AA's.

Honestly, I'm not actually wondering if it could/would happen, but how difficult would it be for arksys to release like a legacy music pack dlc? I miss some of the CS themes (mostly X-matic)

[Luminos564]

So wait, doesn't this mean that the balance patch update will be made available prior to the West even getting their localized version (March 25th)? Not sure how I should feel about that. We are given the chance to play with the initial console version, but on the other hand, that version will be outdated and for the tourney goers this is likely a bigger concern.

[Stellarcircle5]

Dear Arcsys.

Please make Izayoi not total ass so I can have another batshit crazy mixup character.

Sincerely,

Me

But seriously, there are certain characters who truly deserve some buffs. I would love to see Makoto be good again.

in terms of kokonoe, this is exactly what I was thinking. She could be top tier even with these nerfs, albeit a little more balanced. This is probably what the devs are thinking too, but may do something more or less than equivalent.

[crimsonstardust]

I personally would like to see them do some arcade tests before the balances are set in stone but I get why that may not work out. Someone remind me what the time frame was from CS2 hitting psp was before CS on console got the updated patch. Man I might have to borrow my friends psv just to try some of the changes, any confirmation on a possible digital release for the vita version?

[Luminos564]

But what if they just port Kokonuts as she currently is and ASW is only balancing everyone else around so they reach her level? Or at least equivalent thereof.

[NecroTheReaper]

We had a game like that. It was called CSEX xD. I had this discussion with some other players online and I said "it seems like Koko was meant to be balanced for extend, then her OPness would only be as noticable as Valk's"

Since they say that the DLC characters from PS3 and other DLC works on Vita I would guess they aren't included.

[Tokkan]

Hmmm... Why is Celica on that cover image grouped with all the "new" playable characters? It's not like she's playable or anything and it's not some fanservicey LE cover.

[Dark Ranger88]

I'm all for Celia being playable as long as they buff her thighs to BBCP LE cover levels.

Also, isn't Ragna grouped with them too and he isn't a new character.

[Tokkan]

Ragna's on every non-LE cover image, even ones like the BBCS2 arcade one where the rest of characters are exclusively "new".

Great. Considering my character is one who suffers greatly from fighting her, I do not contest to this, though realistically I do not see this happening. Though it isn't impossible either.

if that doesn't happen and she stays the same... I'm going to play her regardless. I just don't like the idea of a character winning for me. And I certainly do not want to fight anyone whose character is winning for them, either. This game is prided on the fact that it takes skill to play, and I would love for it to stay that way.

[Starlight777]

I want Terumi to get some buffs, because right now he is a little underwhelming.
