Sneakman Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 My wish in life now is every iteration of BB openings redone in this format, even if it's fanwork. The animation...Vermillion's new avi...I want one...
Calamitus Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 The opening was pretty accurate to the characters involvement in the story. Especially with Tao. Since she is the true mastermind behind the events of this game, she can relax while other characters are killing each other.
Fame96 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Animation wise, this is the best by far. The song though........I don't know what to think.....
Monarch Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Looking at the bottom Tsubaki photos, is it just me or is her outfit more white than beige? Hope this is a sign that they're moving towards using her original concept outfit in BB4.
VermilionBird Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 It looks it doesn't it? I sure hope she gets a pure white outfit, but it may just be the lighting. Â
Dreiko Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I always saw her outfit as being white. Maybe it's the sprites more so than the actual artwork though.

TekkamanArk Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 This opening is godlike, but the actual balancing changes are the exact opposite. Such bad changes make this one joke of an "update", especially when we have Lambda added over much better choices. Celica too, but, she at least has some story relevance.
oh no, he said Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Normally I'd defend lambda's addition to the game since nu-13's playstyle was awkward and keeping the characters separate is a better choice in the longrun, but considering how nu outclasses lambda in pretty much every aspect imaginable while also being an unholy pain to play against, I can't help but agree that this patch has some serious letdowns. Â At least Izayoi got some buffs.
Wild Candy Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 What did the typical tier look like for CPE again? From what i understood, it typically looked like (In no particular order)  S Hazama, Tao, A Ranga, Makoto, Bang, Nu, Jin, Izayoi, Litchi B Mu, Rachel, Kokonoe, Noel, Bullet, Celica, Platinum, Relius, Carl Arakune, Kagura Tsubaki C Terumi,  is that the gist of it, or did i get a few things wrong or have they changed.
LaowPing Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 What did the typical tier look like for CPE again? From what i understood, it typically looked like (In no particular order)  S Hazama, Tao, A Ranga, Makoto, Bang, Nu, Jin, Izayoi, Litchi B Mu, Rachel, Kokonoe, Noel, Bullet, Celica, Platinum, Relius, Carl Arakune, Kagura Tsubaki C Terumi,  is that the gist of it, or did i get a few things wrong or have they changed. You're missing some characters but for the one's you have:  -Hazama should still be A tier. He lost his fake outs in exchange for the extra chain and his uncharged stance attacks took a hit. It might depend on play style but I don't think he's S tier yet. He is close though. -I honestly don't see anything S tier about Tao. She has some jump loops into mixups but her mixups and pressure has always been crazy. She lost her corner carry as well. Her damage also seems to be the same. -Nu should be S easily. -Kokonoe should still be A. Sure, she doesn't have as many resources, but when you kill in 3 combos and still have all the mixups and corner carry how much do you really need? -I heard Celica was low tier but she's a new character so it's hard to judge. -Still no love for Terumi I see. Am I the only one who thinks that his air messenga buff and his ability OS your wake up with 236D is cool? To each his own I guess.  Missing characters include:  -Tager: I shudder at the knowledge that some people are labeling him A tier. Dear God why? -Hakumen: No clue how he was changed but he seems the same to me. -Amane: C maybe? Lower B? Not sure how him being added to the group of "My drive is special cancellable now" has helped him. -Azrael: I say S. He got more corner carry and better corner combos. Plus his growler buff. I'm not even talking about how he can immediately shoot the projectile, I'm talking about that burst safe valiant combo. -Lambda: What's good about this character? No seriously, I have no idea. She's like the Lucina to BBCP's Marth (Which is funny because I enjoy playing Lucina).Â
FKGunBlaze Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 -Azrael: I say S. He got more corner carry and better corner combos. Plus his growler buff. I'm not even talking about how he can immediately shoot the projectile, I'm talking about that burst safe valiant combo. You kidding me? In exchange for his reversal, he unleashed Enchant: Dragunov...  -Lambda: What's good about this character? No seriously, I have no idea. She's like the Lucina to BBCP's Marth (Which is funny because I enjoy playing Lucina).  I still want to believe that, deep down, Lambda has a trap card has she has not revealed yet (On Lucina: Preach it, brotha)
TagerTime Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 What did the typical tier look like for CPE again? is that the gist of it, or did i get a few things wrong or have they changed.  After checking the Japanese Overall Nationwide Dan Rankings regularly over the past month and a half and following the fluctuating placements of each character, this is the general impression that comes across based on the nationwide rankings data. http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&rurl=translate.google.com&tl=en&u=http://sp.bbcp.ac/ranking_view.php%3Fp%3D1%26mode%3Dexe%26type%3Dpsr_rank&usg=ALkJrhge-Hads2dP4XO0rBGkweUatuyb3A  In no particular placement order within tiers  S (Top Tier):          Jin, Lychee, Nu, Hazama, S-/A+ (Very High): Teiga, Bang, Kokonoe, Azrael, A (High tier):          Reriusu, Kagura, Hakumen, Tsubaki, Makoto,Vu~aruken Hein, Carl, Ragna B (Mid tier):           Rachel,Taokaka, Platinum, Celica, Noel, Amane, Izayoi, B-/C (Low Tier):     Mu, Bullet, Arakune, Lambda T (Terumi Tier):     Terumi  S: spent the majority of the time in the top 10 and held higher rank in the top 5 longer than the tier below, all while having multiple chars in the top 20 S-/A+: spent the majority of the time moving around in the top 10 and have all been in the top 5 rank at one time or another. Chars in S maybe considered generally a little better/stronger overall than those in this tier. A: spent majority of the time moving between top 20 and top 30 rank B: consistanlty spent most of the time in the 30s and 40s never made it into the top 20 B-/C: consistantly stay at the bottom ranks, not breaking into the top 50 T: considered by most as worst char in the game   -Tager: I shudder at the knowledge that some people are labeling him A tier. Dear God why?  Ill show you why!!  Tager completely dominates the 3/21/2015 BBCP2 Touhoku Battle to Decide The Strongest Tournament  Edit: ill have to relink the battle of the strongest videos since the origional full stream i link to was deleted
BlackYakuzu94 Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Can't wait to play the game and see how people come to their conclusions lol.
Fame96 Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Can't wait to get the game to at least convince people that terumi is B-.........
Tong Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Ragna is definitely S-Tier material, he was already a fundamentally good character in CP1.1 and he got buffed on his already strong areas (damage conversion) and others (blockstrings/mixups) where he wasnt so hot. And while most of the cast got nerfs and weakened on some areas, Ragna has just got even better than he already was, the perfect recipe for a top tier character. Â I think CPEX is balanced enough to have only 3 tiers: S, A and B.
heavymetalmixer Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 The 236D whiff OS is something only possible after 22C lvl3 (Midscreen), 6D and 3C. But in 2.0 it can even be done after finishing a combo with 236D (it has the worst recover of all his finishers on hit), so basically now he doens't have mixups unless he uses resources, but he's very good at tech punishing.
