But Platinum won't be around this time, so no one cares about homos.

Because he has combos that consist of five kicks in a row, and that's badass. Speaking of badass, here is Tsubaki after Amane's AH: https://twitter.com/Sakinosakinoato/status/271179176466329600/photo/1

I dunno what you guys are talking about, Plat sounds great to me.

she shoots at the enemy as depicted here, mounts them, reveals a pilebunker in her glove, and makes a crater around them. I think it also had a different background after she stands up, with brown sky and clouds.

Yeah, her range is pretty bad outside of the projectile, so she probably has a lot of trouble approaching the likes of Hazama or Valkenhayn. On the other hand, they make it easier for her to Afterburner, which allows her to use the range of her Drive to get in. And, of course, her snowball gameplay means that she either wins big or loses big. The stream finally had Bullet's AH shown: she shoots at the enemy as depicted on the screenshot in OP, then mounts them, reveals a pilebunker in her glove, and makes a crater around them. Pretty cool.

Finally, a Bullet AH. She now reminds me of Potemkin.

So far, her gameplan seems to go like this: 1. Get in, do a short combo, end it with D to get H1. 2. Make the opponent eat a mixup, do another combo to get H2. 3. Now your combos deal obscene damage, make it count. So it really doesn't matter how much damage she deals in H0 or H1, the fact that you gains H is a good enough reward. Going to jBBS for some combos now. Will the loketest vids be in the video thread? The other sections for new chars got them.

I wouldn't say that two players make her Ragna-tier popular, really. Someone tried to combo into her AH, so I guess it's not actually a grab? That, or they had no idea how it works.

Bullet's currently styling on the stream. Rage Aggressor seems to combo out of pretty much everything, I like that. I think her palette (blue jacket, silver gloves, blonde hair) is a reference, maybe to Samus or FMA Hawkeye? And Gluttony Fang got some very nice intro now.

Or maybe his last boss isn't in the game yet. Considering his connections to Sector Seven and the Kokonoe hint, that seems likely.

My thoughts exactly, and it seems that each and every Japanese person on the stream thinks the same. Didn't expect the stream to still be online when I wake up, my day just got 70% less productive.

Three different banners? Now that's some dedication.

Her neutral game does seem to be better, but there are also many aspects that make her better personally for me (like tossing random junk and being a cute girl). She also has a Slide Head and a long-ranged grab, and her One-Two Punch has some reversal properties. On the other hand, I rarely see Dawn using his grab in the videos, and his long-ranged tentacle grab is blockable. I guess it's hard being a real grappler in a game where everyone spends most of their time in the air.

Pretty much every DD is buffed in OD for everyone. IIRC, they nerfed 720's damage, so OD brings it back to its original values. Though the effects of the OD itself and using it as a buffer might as well be its buffs.

And so, it's officially 21st now in Japan! Now the hardest part begins.

Shiffon is a better grappler than Dawn, and I'm okay with this. I wish I knew what her 5C/jC card does.

I'm not sure that each and every hit of a lvl 3 drill hits low, probably only a couple of first ones.

And we Europeans are going to get the vids even earlier than that, since we're closer to Japan and all. Too bad that we probably won't get any vids right away, so the main batch will probably come while I'm asleep.

Hariken does charge the meter, but we're not sure about how fast it does that.

But Platinum already had a Nia palette, didn't she?

Well it's still better than sitting and fiddling with our thumbs, waiting for the arcade release. I'd still rather have as many screenshots from the official trailers as possible, as they are of much better quality. I'll probably take them and post a bit later. EDIT: It's not much, but here are the moves shown in the trailer: 5B 5C 5D Zettou (214A) Seijuu (632146C) Goukai (632146D) Bonus - the Spiral gauge

Which one do you mean? The Tsukabi one? Anyways, all the missing vids have been reuploaded here: http://vimeo.com/53759774 http://vimeo.com/53759178 http://vimeo.com/53737936 http://vimeo.com/53733240

You can also take some screencaps from the debut trailer. It's even in HD, which is quite pleasing to the eye. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_O9VIUmmiQ And would adding the images of various characters affected by Amane's AH to the OP be appropriate?

Just a heads-up, but you're still missing Litchi vs Bullet and Bullet vs Ragna. Now this is just unfair.

But then Hazama's cyan elements stick out of this. I'm leaning toward the "cool palettes" theory for now, but it's still fishy.
