On one hand, this explains Rise's Platinum palette. On the other hand, the first thing that came to my mind was Platinum Disco.

Robots and Kansai-ben are awesome. Does the new bomb super have any uses? It's interesting how it doesn't have a timer like most bomb supers out there, but just hitting it with a drill isn't enough to activate it. Since Chibigawa is limited now, what are the cases in which we don't want to use it (besides when there's none left, of course)?

Since I got no answer in the general thread, I might as well repeat my question here: what does Eko have that makes her different from other all-rounders like Heart? Her supers seem nice, her j.E is obviously good, and though it's nothing on the level of Chibigawa, her drawings seem to be nice for many different setups. Is that it?

Sounds like Joseph from JoJo ASB. And yeah, it also reminds me of Elisabeth, maybe because he might turn out to be the local "secret boss" character. To be honest, I've never seen that word from his type description before, so I had to look it up in the dictionary, and it feels that the translation isn't that accurate. If anyone else knows a better English equivalent of 翻弄, be my guest.

Like I said before, the scan doesn't have that much info on Adachi's gameplay. But at least now that we have it in good quality, I can try and translate it.

Another example of the same problem here, and this time, I asked the original poster whether or not it's intentional. That said, it really might be a browser issue (I'm using Opera 12.10), but quoting the post still gives me the tags, which implies that it's universal across all browsers.

I've seen that happening pretty randomly with some posts here and there, so I don't think it's due to the users formatting their posts by themselves. Then again, it never happened to my posts, so I can't be sure it's not intentional, yeah.

Well, J-Stars doesn't have any DLC so far. Pretty much every single member of both main casts is playable now, I don't think it's about popularity at this point.

For the record, I'm having a similar problem with some forum posts. Sometimes the text blends with the background, and sometimes it gets highlighted for no reason. I assume it's because people paste it from different sources and the posting interface retains some formatting. For example, this is how this post looks like on the Tager palette:

He already seems to be a mix of Yu and Naoto, do we really need to throw in Teddie, as well?

Doesn't seem like the scan has any gameplay info (again), other than that small blurb below Adachi's character artwork. The only word I can make out there is "Tricky", which is enough to make him feel different from my initial impression of another all-rounder with a hint of darkness.

I believe I tested 5B in training mode and thought it's mid, but that's apparently because setting the dummy to all-block means that they don't even switch positions unless you say so. And I did notice the feint, yeah. Thanks for the vid, gotta check it out later. Anyways, what about Eko? Does she have anything for her other than the usual all-rounder routine? Her j.D is great, that much is obvious, but other than that, she seems like a slightly worse Heart.

Just got my copy, and it seems to be in good condition other than the slightly bent upper left corner. The book got much more cool stuff than I expected, and the Baldhead sketch is excellent despite the time constraints. Good job guys, I'll be looking forward to your next work.

Not really, there are ways to avoid the problems that were the cause of the region lock last time.

Well, she doesn't need them, yeah, I'm just used to having them. I'll switch the mindset soon enough.

More games need to have 800 Yen tier characters.

Done. Luckily, most of them seem to be arcana-universal, so it really is just me not being used to the local cancels (mostly the EF cancel, though homing cancel is tough, too). I'm still kinda iffy about Kira's mix-up game, though: she only has one low attack and no ground overheads, so it feels like she only gets the hits in when the enemy presses too many buttons. Then again, that feels just like most other grapplers in other games, and it's not like either player spends that much time on the ground to worry about ground normals - and Kira's aerial normals seem crazy good, with j.C having clash frames for hours and j.D having both frame advantage and a great hitbox. I'm probably just confused after playing Bullet so much and having trouble opening opponents even with three ground overheads and four lows

Ah, the good old ouroboros warfare.

Taiga's character select pose doesn't match her illustration? Pre-order canceled. But seriously, this video made Taiga look like a poor nephew while Miyuki got all the love. And it's not only about the victory, but about the actual playstyle, too.

At least it only took them a month to release BBCP in Europe, even if it wasn't in all PSN regions.

Something something scouter something power level something.

Yeah, glasses were the first thing that jumped to my mind (since I'm four-eyed, myself), but then I realized that not everyone wears them and got slightly confused. Still, phones are common enough for it to be a worthwhile bonus, indeed.

I always wonder what you're supposed to clean with it. The disc? At least it's better than useless phone cards, I suppose.

The game arrived, and apparently, I did order the PS3 version, so I'm ready for hardcore online action! As soon as I adapt to the characters and the game, that is. I'm still choosing between Kira, Eko and Cathy, but for now, I'm spending some time with Kira in the lab. Is it just me, or is she more about the resets than proper combos? The only half-decent combo I found is 5A / j.D 2B 5C 623C into lightning super (sticking to that arcana right now), and that's only from a mid/overhead hit. Or maybe I'm just not used to this weird world of homing dash cancels.
