Anyone else searching for easter eggs in the game? Here are the ones I've found so far: - Tons of characters in the backgrounds, especially in the Meta-World. - You can see Maria's rose in the rose garden. - Evatrice turns into Eva while dizzied. - Virgilia's second palette is Gaap. - Beato's second palette is Jessica. - Shannon's second palette is Lion. - ahaha.wav plays when Beato performs a throw.

Been goofing around practice mode for now (don't want to try it seriously without my pad), and I like how almost every character excels at any range. My team will probably be Ange and Lia to focus on this range diversity better, but I also like how Evatrice and Shannon play. There are also so many minor details in the gameplay that I won't be surprised if some players will never learn of them. Maybe they will include Tutorial mode next time, like CS did? And yeah, it seems there are no secret characters yet, even though Bern's portrait and character select name are in the files. Perhaps she'll be included in the next patch? Well, whatever, I'll keep waiting for my Rosa and Gaap.

There are quite a lot of streams going on, but they can't go for more than 30 minutes, so their owners switch them a lot. What you should do is search for the tag, like this: http://live.nicovideo.jp/search/黄金夢想曲?kind=tags In the meantime, it seems that AI Lia enjoys her spears a lot. About random character slots: they can always change to the secret character slots when you unlock them. After all, there will always be a space for the random slot.

It's on the official website, and it's pretty easy to understand even in Japanese. Here you go: http://07th-expansion.net/ogon/spec.html

Apparently, people are already getting their hands on the game. We should prepare ourselves.

It seems that the only thing it fixes for Platina is a bug with her AH, when she kills herself along with her opponent or something. The combos listed at the end of the post are just combos discovered by OP.

Why should they? They're supposed to be hidden. The best thing you can hope for is some kind of non-official leak, as the game has already gone to print.

Well, there are Furfur, Zepar and .

I think I've just found my perfect character, combining the random fun and real soviet fun to one-shot everyone.

You take that back. So, why is the hammer so underused right now? People don't even use it as a combo ender, even though it's supposedly good at being one.

"Luna, get a hold of yourself. You're lapsing into l33t... oh my..."

Oh, I get it. The joke is that Hazama and Valkenhayn are not bros, right? I still don't quite understand how to edit the palettes in Photoshop. I want to try doing some Platinum palette swaps, too, but there's no palette files for her, right?

Meanwhile, we got more Shadow goodness with more delicious stuff. Good to see that he doesn't use Mystic Momo on the items he doesn't know how to use, like using frying pan in combos (you know, the way it's supposed to be used). And hit confirm from hammer into astral will bring many tears to our opponents. We also got a glimpse of her Nanoha and Bridget palettes. There also seems to be two aerial throw whiff-like animations, the other one probably being j2C. EDIT: Yeah, it's j2C, and Shadow seems to be enjoying it quite a bit.

Speaking of Unlimited Plat, shouldn't there be the Unlimited Wars mode now? Someone will surely try it sooner or later, maybe with vids. I just hope that Plat is not in the end of the line, so there are better chances to see her Unlimited form in action.

Do note that Plat says "FALLING MELODY" when doing that Air Persia-like attack on the ground. Fio looks good, but not as good as Shadow. I want more delicious Shadow vids, A-Ru is getting old. These vids show tons of Plat's animation, like her air throw whiff. God, I already see her taunt killing thousands of fans on spot.

Well, he did appear in the games that are all about Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat characters without being one. But honestly, this is getting a bit too paranoid. Don't hate Kratos, hate the devs.

Well, as I see it, Plat has been balanced for CSII, so putting her in before the changes would be like putting her in a completely different game.

Is there any video where it's not skipped? The only vid I remember had some carnival tune when she rides the horse... Or maybe I've heard wrong.

Gotta agree that Shadow has just made Platinum much more awesome, maybe even respected. She will certainly rise a tier or two simply because of him. And he actually uses the palette I wanted to use because it's similar to my Faust palette, and our local best Faust player uses my palette, too. I don't want to look like an imitator, but it happens again and again, sigh... I've also noticed that Cure Dot Typhoon gives you one extra charge for your item if your stock's already full. I wonder if Dramatic Sammy has the same effect. About her birthday: it seems obvious that her new birthday may be connected with some popular maho shoujo series. Perhaps she shares it with someone? EDIT: Wait, no, the default number of frying pan charges is 4. Didn't notice that before.

God, that horse victory pose looks even better in motion. Why did they skip it? It's pretty sad to see the same old stuff in every video when she has so many tricks up her sleeve. At least people seem to learn her quickly.

I think I heard Trinity's voice when Plat was using her items in the Haku fight. Just like I heard Luna's voice when Plat was using her items in the Makoto fight. I think I see a pattern here. Another thing I found curious is that Plat holds her staff up with a small puff after she uses Cure Dot Typhoon. Maybe it recovers her items, like Dramatic Sammy? On a kinda unrelated note, what should the tagline for our subforum be? ぺろぺろ seems a bit too obvious, but I'm already tired of seeing it all over the place...

And Trinity breaks that pattern all by herself. Sad life. And, uh, thanks for reminding me of how lazy and useless I am.

I don't recognize that second arena, either, but the fact that there is steam coming out of everyone's mouths is damn cool. Viper kinda makes sense, as she's one of the most flashy newcomers in SF4, with lightning and fire everywhere.

Miracle Jeanne, please. Do you switch items before turning them into SUGOI items, how many charges do you get, how does it interact with Mystique Momo, etc. Some info on Mystique Momo would be nice, too. I'm especially interested in the melee items Momo: do they have the same properties, what happens if they're made SUGOI by Jeanne, what are the uses besides simply changing the items, etc. And some Falling Melody info, please, we still have no idea how it exactly works.

なぜじゃ？なぜじゃあーーーーー？！　D> Well goddammit. At least we will have to wait less time than all those Hazama players last year. And I may actually get a PS3 by that time. And that text on the website is an interview with her VA. I can translate it in case anyone wants it.
