Honestly, I expect at least 1 murakumo to make it back. Most likely gonna be lambda replacement. I mean, does anyone remember the first trailer anymore? Had that weird figure with the murakumo symbol on it right at the end? Honestly though, I wouldn't be perfectly surprised if they needed to re-tune the two murakumos into a single fighter to get better zoning tools/tricks. I mean if you compared lamda to axl (especially GG^C+R axl, holy crap), she's really lacking many tools to be a zoner that focuses on mixup, especially at range. Sure she can go for low, grab, or anti-air, but she's putting her ass on the line everytime she did it. Axl has low, unblockable, unblockable feint -> anti air, cross up overhead all from a safe distance. Lambda needed some new tricks to get around blocking or she would forever remain mediocre. What better way than to make a new character that could combine the two murakumos? Again, all opinion and speculation, but I can dream.

I know we can have an OD activate with another OD already going. saw it in one of the loketest videos.

I think the reason it still looks available to use is because he can still use his OD even if he can't burst. In order to confirm it we need to find someone getting comboed by an OD player. Edit:ninja'd

Personally I don't mind Noel. Then again, I play Carl. Their drive just screams "sandwhich me I'm a retard" to every Carl in the universe.

Why would people assume he gets magic tricks? The hat? Can't he just be upper middle class. Seriously though, all of his moves reference music.

It's only an image. Honestly can't tell much other than the fact he bitch slaps the opponent with his cape and then sends them to some room full of gears. Not much else is known about it. http://i.imgur.com/NQ3OG.jpg?1

drive swords turning into steins that shoot lasers...what kind of monster are you planning? Just give me back a Nu type murakumo...if possible with catch counter or something.

It'd most likely be 623C>46D>5B>... The ground bounce on 46D wasn't that high, so unless that changes, I don't think we'd get enough time to get out old 15 frame 5C. Though I agree with the rest of what you said. I mostly wanna see how 46D works on j.5C>22]D[ oki. It's hitbox looks huge enough to catch rollers, and looks fast enough to react to it. I'm guessing it's around (16+)22-25 frames start up.

strange enough, I could watch it without a nico account. Also, I don't know if trolling or if got the wrong vid.

Well Carl wasn't covered to extensively in the second loketest. We saw a few new things, but overall it was the same, so we basically merged the info on the op anyway. We will just have to hope for some good coverage at TGS so we have something to bide our time with. Edit: I also have a theory that 46D will be god-like. All I can say is if I'm right, holy shit S-tier would not be out of the question. 89 P1 super poke here we come.

Actually, I think they could add a little to the button check on the character select screen. Maybe add a "test" option where it brings up a sprite of ragna or something and then you can see if your buttons actually swapped on him. That way paranoid people wouldn't need to button check in-game anyway. Then again, mostly a pointless option for un-paranoid people.

I just wanna see 46D applications and dat astral.

I'm not asking for people to die from chip. I'm asking for chip to become an actual factor in the game. Venom chip is actually pretty noticeable to be fair. Maybe around his level would be nice. It's not like I'm asking for everyone to be like Peacock from Skullgirls.

Agreed Star. Seriously. BB's chip damage is basically non existent. Hell, if Lamby could ever do decent chip damage, I'd say she'd go up in the risings, but it never happened. It's same reason I can't immediately transition between BB and GG. I'll play a few rounds of BB just fine, then I'll forget to FD a Dark Angel against Venom and lose a round because of it.

It is only on block that we lost. I swore though that that was in CSE. Show's how much I played Extend hahaha. still though, viv A nerf sucks. I really hope we get some insane corner carry, because that and low/command grab mix up is all we're missing from having just about every amazing offensive option in this game.

Anybody know when/if the next loke test is coming? I'm starting to get more and more curious about his fabulousness.

Pretty sure everyone is getting it from the JBBS. I can't read any of that, but if you want a link, here give it a shot. http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/game/45148/1329213212/l50 I could be on the completely wrong page, but I couldn't find a link to CP anywhere on it, so I just went straight to carl.

Meh, this is nice. I would've loved to see an installment where they actually made explosion somewhat useful, but I'll take a comboable astral I guess. Wonder if you can get the astral from a j.5C, considering Relius' last I knew was extremely comboable to the point where 3C>astral worked. On another note, I saw in one of the new videos that volante will now launch an opponent from the ground now. Now I just hope it can get faster start up so I can use it more defensively, because it would be boss to get oki/sandwich setups while playing defensively with nee-san throwing pot shots full screen. Carl is basically becoming how I like. If they just tweak a couple things, I'd never want him to be changed again.

Good job keeping us up to date Isuna. Thanks for the work. Just keep an eye out for good Carl footage please. The Carl forums are crying cause we lost solo comboable cantabile hahaha. Anything you can find would help.

I just want slow shuriken to have either an FRC or make it so we can do something before we can hit the ground. it'd at least have potential for oki then, and it wouldn't be so god awful.

I just get done analyzing every bit of BBCP footage, and now GG^C+R is starting back up again? Ughhhh *goes back to lurk youtube.*

I think I like 3, maybe 4 songs from bb. The rest are kinda sub-par, but meh. The opinions of a music student mean nothing.

It's not so much a lack of interest as it is we know they are going to hold out on him for as long as they can. Do you not remember how large the Jubei fanbase was when CS was announced? I thought I'd never hear the end of it. Besides, too many people are freaking out over the absence of their favorite cyborg psychopath to worry about a character that Mori will just troll us with.

Planning on giving improved versions of super moves while in overdrive. There is so much hype in that statement I can't even stand it.

^I was guessing this at the end of CS1. NOW people will believe me.
