Of course, and I agree with you. I just didn't think many people in the FGC cared about the story, so I assumed that by extension, a lot of people playing at the arcades didn't as well. Based on what Starlight's saying, I'm kinda nervous about Nu and Mu upon release, but I'm confident I won't have to worry about that on console lol.

I guess that's a possibility, but I suspect it has more to do with making money (I'm trying to think about this from a business perspective).

I can agree with that. I think it's the closest we're gonna get to an answer until I ask someone at ASW or some other company in the industry. Maybe Nu and Mu are some of the most popular characters? I know that Izayoi will definitely draw attention.

What you're saying kinda makes sense to me, but then you mentioned that they could do the same in the loketests (which is what I was thinking too), so I still don't get why they just don't do more loketests and release the game with everyone in it. Not that it matters much to me since we'll probably have everything ready by the time it comes to console. Does it make more money for them to do it this way? Where you have an influx of people coming in just to see/try those characters? If it's the same either way, then I don't get it. About single player modes: I really liked Abyss and would like for it to come back, but I wouldn't mind something different. I was also kind of sad to see Legion mode go in CSEX, maybe they can bring that back with different ideas implemented.

One more week, we will have our answers :P

Not saying having the game sooner is bad, but why is it that they release characters without testing them first? We have these 3 characters that will probably receive balance updates in the future but if they weren't done, why not just wait til everyone is finished before releasing the game? Character balance is important in FGs, so I don't really get the reasoning of just throwing stuff out there "unfinished", especially considering a character like Nu, for example. My only guess is that there's something special about the upcoming season that makes it financially beneficial to release the game now, but it's not a retail release...I'd think that during Christmas times, people spend less time at arcades too.

I'm gonna miss double Cantata to be honest. My Izayoi prediction is that the second she gets a hit in will full meter, we're dead. But that's almost true for every character against Carl so I guess I don't have much to add til I see her play.

Everyone in the hype thread is citing next week on the 21st or 22nd so I'm expecting something then. Also, when you say "ours", you mean console release date right? April would be sick, that's literally right when I'm done school.

Ah ok, that doesn't sound too bad. Do you happen to know the answer to my meter question from before? Does it drain like Hakumen's meter (on special activation), or is like like Orgia mode?

I hope that's the case. Admittedly, I rely on the p.invuln way too much though lol

Wait, is she a zoner? She was just announced right? Is there any indication as to how she would play?

Reminds me of Labrys with her axe meter, only it actually changes the way she plays once it's built up. After it's built up and/or activated, does it drain gradually, or after she uses specials like Hakumen? Really hope she's fun, I don't think I've wanted to play so many characters in BB before.

Awesome, I'm really excited for this lol. I really want a stupid astral like Valk's or Relius' that I can use as a reversal. I'd be happier if the input was different though. Whenever I do it too fast, it just becomes fuocco.

So just to clarify Akira, no countdown anymore? Is there any info on how fast it activates and whether or not Carl is invulnerable at all? I'm trying to figure out if it resembles how Relius' astral activates.

If they have an artbook included, I'll definitely preorder the game whenever it becomes available. The included soundtrack rarely includes all the tracks in the game and it's too easy to "acquire" imo. I guess you could say that the artbook can be scanned, but I've personally never regretted getting an artbook when I've been disappointed many times by the soundtracks you get with the game. Also, where is this pic of human Tager people are talking about? I thought it was Bullet's pals? Or am I just confused about something?

So there was supposed to be some kind of video debuting tomorrow or tonight? I understand that it's different from the trailer, but does anyone know what the video is supposed to be about? Gameplay/Story/new reveals? Also what time in EST is it airing?

Akira you can talk about whatever you want here, I don't really mind and I don't think Isayaru minds either since there's so few of us in here. Ironically, I didn't read the name of the thread before posting here myself lol. Afro, I agree. I was hyped about CP and even Nu but when I heard about Mu being back, I was kinda disappointed. Might be the fact that I've been playing Abyss recently and I can't take even LOOKING at Unlimited Mu right now >__>

Good eye man. Also I really love this opening, so far the best imo. I really hope we get something good for the anime opening on console. So far, nothing has beaten Iconoclast in respects to console openings for me.

I don't really know any of you so I don't have anything to say about the e-drama going on here. Anyways, as Zeth was saying before, I really hope we see a new trailer with the boss character of the game at some point. I really want Mikado/Saya to be playable, but I'm pretty sure Mori said no. Any chance he was lying to surprise us?

I really hope Mori wasn't lying when he let that "please wait til November" thing slip. One good thing is that all the CP hype got me back into BB just as I was getting bored of it from playing so much P4U.

No, I actually like this a whole lot more. I can USE it. No more opponents literally flying away from the explosion.

Does Ada still countdown? I thought it was more of an actual attack. I'm kinda saddened to hear that. If it's still unblockable, maybe you can activate it in the corner after knockdown or on Brio hit and try to keep them in blockstun.

*Looks at your avatar* *Looks at the pic* Oh eye get it now.
