I wouldn't completely rule out that possibility of another character, but that's approaching speculation territory which was just outlawed recently. You should just stop that discussion right there.

You're not misinterpreting and it is pretty bad. Though I suppose it's because they're not quite done yet and ASW is staggering their release so they can still get CP out this year. They could always be loketested before unlock, periodic balance patches are supposed to be one of the big advantages of Nesica.

By time release we're looking at something similar to Hakumen/Nu in CT and Labrys/Elizabeth/S.Labrys in P4U.

That's not a normal, it's a special. It's called "Ikutachi".

Noel's fight against Rachel is in Kagutsuchi Port AM from CT. There, CT/CS stages are indeed in the game for all the people who would complain about their removal. "Sword of Hades" was actually used in CS True End post credits scene, there it was read as "Izanami no Tsurugi" by Hazama in Japanese (Izanami even showed up in furigana), but the English dub said "Sword of the Imperator". Before calls of off-topic, just explaining what it means since it showed up in translations of Nu's profile in THIS thread. No need for further discussion on it in the story thread, because there is nothing further to discuss about it. Oh, and yeah the article calls Mu and Nu "time release characters" (I.E. time-locked). They will not be playable day 1.

Ah, right. I did a little skim anyway when checking. My original point still stands as it was a silly assumption based on people being too used to only certain moves removing primers and the idea of "an instant guard crush button combination being a dumb idea" according to many people hence trying to rationalise something fake to make it seem "less dumb".

[snip] This assumption is still in the OP post of the Loketest thread, but that thread also says Wadcut: Engage's command is 236D when all official command lists says its command is "D during drive attacks". Edit: Oh holy crap, I take it back. It actually says "during certain attacks" in the original loketest PDF. That still contradicts the fact that they're they own moves though. Point about Bullet's special still stands.

I think SlaveRed may be associated with the "Crimson [Demon/Magic] Eyes" term that popped up in the first trailer and also in the opening. Reason being that they appear close to each other and at roughly the same time in the opening. This may narrow down what it refers to.

No, his heterochromia is because of the BlazBlue affecting his body's right side, including his eye. Rachel only ever bit him in one loop, and IIRC it was only just biting him, no mention of turning him into a vampire.

Nu wasn't created in Kagutsuchi, though. Kagutsuchi was just where her tempering was completed. If you've seen the Sector Seven EX Story, you'd know that Nu was actually used in the Nox Nyctores smelting that Relius tricked Kokonoe into helping him do. And it's not like the non-sidestory stuff from Materials Collections has not been contradicted before. Ragna apparently has now always had his white hair even though the Materials Collection said he was originally a blond like his siblings.

This is a B2 Tapestry of BBCP's key visual, it is also the first time the key visual has been show. It was being sold at the Dengeki 20th Aniversary Festival this weekend at ASW's booth. The rest of the stuff being sold was just the remaining stock of the stuff that they selling at TGS (including another B2 Tapestry, which was of the GGAC+R key visual). It was revealed on the same day the OP video of BBCP was posted, but no one here seemed to notice.

Uzume could refer to Ame-no-Uzume from the Takamagahara myth. If that's the case then, in the context of the BlazBlue universe, it probably refers to another attempt at drawing the Master Unit Amaterasu out of hiding.

A lot of English terms showed up in the OP at 1:04-1:06 I can't be bothered to try and get all the Japanese ones so I'll just list the English ones I found. The Calamity Trigger Uzume The Six Heroes Continuum Shift Sequential Phenomenon Architects of Sin "Detonator" Enchant Dragon Master Unit OverDrive SlaveRed There's also one that seems to begin with the word "Attempt" but the rest is illegible.

Why? They're old characters.

Who said the unannounced "super cool boss character" (超かっこいいボスキャラクター the exact words from the old Famitsu interview) is supposed to be a secret? Unannounced is not necessarily the same as being a secret. (Note: I use "secret" in terms of in-game hidden stuff.)

Correct men if I'm wrong, but isn't it stated that Nirvana was "broken" when Carl found her and he had to do some makeshift "fixes" to get her operational?

This is a valid point, but it should probably go in the story thread in Zepp.
