Mumm-Ra

What people (Read: Bang mains) don't realize is that Bang is the joke character of the game, so it shouldn't matter if his tools are useful or not

tl;dr this loketest took everything, added nothing, something about FoG? j.C starter for 3000-4000 damage Damage reduction comes from both getting a damage nerf and getting less bugs to work with before curse ends. Something about A bug messing up stuff now that it comes out from behind the opponent.

I play Faust and Arakune, can I into Kuma?

Alright guys lets stop fighting over Hakumen and talk about Arakune instead, I know how much you people love hating him so you'll be rejoiced by reading the latest nerfs! This answer the question of Arakune's CA bieng changed or not, I guess, it is now 6B instead of throw. So far no good, nothing to worry about though, as it is the first loketest

Yeah it's looking pretty harsh right now. I see what they're trying to do by taking away 5D>jc and j.C>j.D amongst other things, but in my opinion that pretty much kills Arakune's combo paths, without jump cancel in 5D dive cancel is pretty useless anywhere but near the corner, you can't get much from 2C fatal (is it even fatal anymore?), and now that 3C doesn't jc either you can't do anything after 5D in a normal combo but RC it and that'd be to only get 6B>jD in probably, for around 60% curse. Add that to the fact that Arakune can't deal as much damage anymore, even in OD (although I can't believe he can only make it to 4k with it) and you've got the worst character in the series by far right now, perhaps as bad as CT Tager? He at least had GETB Still, just the first loketest

Where the fuck is my samurai Dee Jay ASW?

Overall bad news in the second part of this loketest. Translation by hakimiru once again. Some untranslated posts that caught my attention. BCHF?

Could someone translate this?

The shorter curse time is what was supposed to balance it. In my opinion Arakune should stay with high damage, but shorter curse time, it's something I've been saying since CS2 loketests.

Well duh, Arakune could never do more than 2k without curse. Maybe the player that posted that sucks or maybe he really does suck now, who knows

Requesting translation. Arakune's 3C cannot be jump canceled anymore, it seems.

So apparently Arakune can only do 3k normally and 4k in OD?

I have no idea why people keep talking of Bloodedge as if he was anything more than a weaker Ragna who's half blind and can't use his right arm unless he's close to the Black Beast wich turns him into normal Ragna who was only able to harm it because of plot device and now that there's sethyr everywhere there's no way for Bloodedge to be anything more than normal Ragna

Greedy niggers, I knew it

Told ya

Yeah I might drop Arakune now that he can talk :sad:

Arakune confirmed for best and most difficult to play character by Toshimichi Mori himself

Where are you people getting three bosses? Mori meant Amane, Bullet and Azrael by "three new characters", he just says "boss characters", for all we know he might be talking about the new Lambda/Nu and Mu with different sprites or something. Or are you guys sure you got that translation right?

Oh Sugita you glorious bastard.

They say that they changed 3C, it has "homing" properties now, no idea what that means though. It might be that it just doesn't cross over anymore, or maybe it's the unlimited version of 3C, im wishing for that myself

That's an easy way to get your phone stolen Seems that Arakune's FoG doesn't launch anymore, we oki now. EDIT: Oh yeah Valth, are stages as big as before?

Two videos displaying BBCP Arakune, not the best quality, but we can get something from them, for example, seems that FoG knocks down instead of launch now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mzlM0Cclv0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEaoEMXAkps

Spoilers are still spoilers, and we all know that they'll bundle the whole story in BBCPEX, so they can't be spoiling anything.

Don't think so, too much spoilers.

Arakune only able to do 2 repetitions in his curse combos? Something regarding FoG as a better ending for curse combos? Can someone translate properly, please?
