Tomorrow.

But Tsubaki is blind, whereas Hakumen has plenty of eyes.

Ragna - 3C 22C works again. Noel - 6C second hit wallslams (they fall straight down). Added in same-move proration (second hit only?) - Assault Through has less slide time. Litchi - jC has less hitstun. - 2D, 5D less recovery. - j2D second hit pulls in a small amount. - ItsuuA loses staff on block. ( ◕ ω ◕ ) Bang - jD has more proration, better to 2C and oki than try to combo after it. - 2D jump cancelable on block. - Less proration on 623B. Hakumen - Added same-move proration to 6C, but less normal proration. - Can no longer combo from CA. Hazama - jC only jump cancelable on first and second hits (3rd, 4th, 5th are impossible).

Apparently Litchi had nothing changed from the first loketest.

No idea. - Rachel 236 guaranteed to land, but loses hitbox when Rachel is hit/blocks (if Rachel gets hit, the projectile won't land but a pole will be set). - Tao low j2D~B combos into 2C. And something for the ice fairies: - Jin Sekkajin has no/a lot less pushback. Mori has a raging hard on for icy bishounens. Noel - CR 5D not jump cancelable. - j.B has better hitbox, will hit below her. Tager - Sledge followup also has anti-projectile armor. Bang - Furinkazan backwards movement is shorter. Arakune - Bird jump cancel still there, but hard to do (?) - D bug will hit Mu while rising now. Karuru - 3D stands opponent up, i.e. 8D 3C 3D -> 3D will hit as though opponent was standing on the ground. Tsubaki - 2D recovery back to CS (laughing so hard)

Not gonna happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3whHo26uu0

I wouldn't bet on it, from what I've seen 5c 4d doesn't connect. Could've just been misinputs, but it's more likely that 5c hitstun isn't long enough for the nerfed drive. 2c could work, I guess, but at that point they're too high for you to connect a chain. Well, I won't whine until I get a chance to try this for myself. Although I expect they'll undo a fair bit of these changes by the next loketest.

I'm going to sneak some fake Jin nerfs in the next update just to make the ice princesses cry.

They bounce the opponent on hit.

Hatin'.

Scroll up.

Mu - 2B 2C connects now - j3D removed. What the hell is j3D? Hakumen - 6C slides on standing opponents. Why would they do this. Arakune - D bug faster, less hitstun. (The wiki says less damage, the blog says less hitstun. Could be either, could be both. Dunnolol.) - Spin and dive now have same move proration added. - Landing recovery after airthrow. - Jump cancel from bird (j6B?) slowed, can't bird -> bird -> spin anymore. - Warps are a lot slower, you can hit him out of them on reaction. Bangu - Forward throw slides, more damage, followup in corner. - 5B slow. 2A 5B won't connect. - Less untech time on 6A. - D nail bounces on hit, hard to combo from. Litchi - haha no

Stark's opening quote vs Spencer is the best thing ever. "Just the arm? Can't afford the rest of the suit?"

It's written in katakana since it's a foreign word. ヴァルケンハイン

...do you know what a dp is?

Uh... no. Any character with a reversal (and that is half the cast) will rape your face without an issue. And even others can IB your 236a and punish your 2a.

A decent antiair even though you can't combo of it, but it's absolutely brilliant against Hazama j.d~d.

It will have terrible cover art and it will say Aracana on the cover. But I'll vote.
