To me she just looks like she's napping. Which is cute.

OMGOMGOMG SO CUTE YESYES AHHH HUGTIEM NAO. The best one.

:< Sadness. Ah well 2C hjc is it... Edit:

Haha I'm not actually fond of it or any of her new ones aside from maybe 10. I just want my rave colored Mu back. :< And comboing into 6C and steins cancelable is super awesome. I'm so used to 6B > tsurugi that habit is gonna get me killed so hard for awhile till I get used to it haha.

Welp I'm dropping this character, bye guys. Good thing cause I was so gonna use color 7 too. C0R lets be twins. Joking aside, 6B not being special cancelable kinda irks me, but the fact that it combos into 6C now makes up for it.

The super is Seijuu, I mentioned it in my post. And that super isn't terribly good outside of being used as an occasional reversal/wakeup reversal because it's overall damage is pretty weak, and we auto-overheat the drill gauge using it. We have better ways to spend meter, so his supers aren't terribly high priority unless you know you'll kill with them or you're getting out of a tight situation. Goukai when the opponent is low on barrier meter is always fun though... But yeah overall you'll probably be spending more meter on counter assaults and RCs than on his supers.

Nu having a Gasai color seems like she's just demanding I play her again or something. Her new mode switching seems like it'll make her a deeper character overall, and I like what she's looking like. Also wait...Jin has Amaimon? He has my Earth King? Well fuck.

He doesn't have a meteless reversal, and isn't too good under pressure. So far his only reliable reversal move is Seijuu. Otherwise you have to be good at finding an opening in your opponents to try to poke out, or move away safely. I don't think we really have much to go on as far as what his matchups are actually looking like right now. We thought Haz was gonna be bad but a recent video, like Shin said in a previous post, the players made it look pretty even. However I'm gonna assume very fast or highly mobile characters like Taokaka or Valkenhayn will make us wanna rip our hair out sometimes haha. His moves are slow overall and I think he'll suffer from the same sorta shortcomings characters like Mu have against them in that we'll have a hard time getting momentum on them. I can't really figure on what his best matchups are going to be just yet, but Tager seems like he may be one of them if we wanna go with seemingly obvious choices. However, considering drills are considered projectiles it might not be as easy as we may have hoped. Other good matchups might be characters that have some trouble getting in like Makoto, maybe Noel. We'll probably be able to keep them out with Ds fairly easily. I'm gonna have to say I have absolutely no idea on how they'll compare, but it seems the poster above me knows..and I'm sure Toasty will have some insight on this one as well.

^That is good news to me. Am I the only one who isn't hoping for loops? Loops are soooo..... ..zzzzzz...

Yeah it looks to me like he could have easily tagged him with a 5C and back into a new combo.

Bedsheets I love you so much for getting all this info for us.

I hope so thats one of the cutest ones.

I know I will!

One that actually sparkles. I like that idea. This is still considered on topic right? =w=

It's the Cult of Amane in here. I like it.

I think the choice is clear, Ama is the way to goo. Also...SKD that video..just...hahaha. So hilarious and beautiful.

Oh my welcome back after quite the hiatus my dear! Yes join the Amane Army. He's looking like he's gonna be really strong, and insanely fun.

This is the truth. And man I hope we get some clarification on how the new proration works alongside this combo timer system soon. It sounds pretty interesting.

I'm aware, what I meant is that it most certainly has the potential to do so if you're spaced right.

6C(2) definitely throws them back into the corner, or at least it did in the Ama vs Az match where the Amane used a Harican there as well.

The thing I noticed the most was yet another Hariken cancel, this time however Amane's back was to the corner when it was done meaning it probably will be useful midscreen. This pleases me greatly. Oh okay. Yeah, he focuses a lot on his drive, and scaring people with the large amount of chip damage and barrier gauge he can destroy. He aims to force his opponent to respect his drive. You make them choose between eating massive chip damage, losing most of their barrier gauge, or possibly eating a CT if you have 25 meter for one.

That was beautiful.

I'm not sure I follow...? Either way this isn't the place to discuss terribly off-topic things, stick to gameplay.

Now THAT is awesome news. Anyways I wanted to point out something in the new Ama vs Az video. In this video at 1:47 Ama starts a combo off an AA 5A with his back to the corner, and after a 6C which throws Az behind him and into the corner he uses Hariken stance to cancel 6C into 2B. He does AA 5A > 5B > 5C(1) > 6C > 236D~D > 2B > 6A I can't tell if he just dropped the rest of the combo or whatever but Harican seems like it could potentially be a useful thing in the corner.

Slower Cs? Ugh...that is killing it for me man.
