Assuming of course, they don't just stick him under Izayoi or something, which would indeed look weird but also keep up symmetrical appearances.

I should hope he doesn't if his whole shtick is stealing an opponent's meter and then plowing through them with Distortion Drives.

His GG color could end up being Raven or maybe even Gabriel, while his Persona one might be Tatsuya Suou (Eternal Punishment).

That's actually not a bad idea. He already has Devoured by Darkness as a super grab so a regular, command special that steals health sounds fair.

Oh damn, I forgot all about that Dizzy vs. Gold I-no fight. That fight, was fucking silly buns. Even on the lowest difficulty, Gold I-no could tear you a new air-hole within 4~8 seconds depending on her hidden Angry Bitch AI Counter. Even the Story FAQ guide (GGXX was the first 2D fighter I owned) was essentially: "Yeah...good luck pal. You're going to need it". Still, that was a fun nostalgia trip. It would be nice if CP could do this but I'm not holding my breath for them since BB Story Mode usually skips intros altogether. On the subject of Terumi, I wonder how soon before we get some player footage? Did ASW tighten their security considering he's DLC?

Saber Izayoi, Ragna Makoto, Char Relius and Dizzy Mu-12 *Homer drool*.

Considering both of them have their dickberg moments, I am personally alright with this. Yeah, I played Haku-men 99.2% of the time, but it wasn't due to his charming, complex and deep personality or anything XD.

EDIT: Gah, the Hell did this double post come from? So, anyone know why Kagura hasn't been made available? I mean compared to Terumi, he really doesn't get much attention. Must be that exclusive DLC deal or something.

Now that you mention it, we never DID get GG-style Story Mode intros, did we? Man I miss those. I replayed that Gold Sol vs. Gold I-no fight a lot just to see that versus animation go. Ah, memories.

Also true. Though I was more concerned with videos of Japanese players. Yeah, 9/10 they will usually skip the intro sequence but the same doesn't hold for the victory ones. But you're right, it ain't a big deal even then. If I could put up with Bridget's "Yoyo Breaks Your Spine" victory animation, then I can certainly put up with Terumi's. I might even enjoy seeing it done on characters I don't particularly like. .

Joy, an animation where he kicks you whenever you lose. I'm sure THAT will never get real old, real quick. Then again, I suppose he wouldn't be the go-to asshole character if he didn't have it. Hopefully some footage crops up soon. No offense to the last trailer, but ~15 seconds is hardly going to tide me over for the excess waiting.

Well the words "does the job" was really all I was looking for. As I said, I don't tend to use mics since I really don't like people that use them so they can act like high-school drama d-bags. I figured I'd only use it when I have the training sessions with people, which I am likely going to need if I want to be a better player. Well that's another thing to look into I guess. Thank you for mentioning it.

Sadly I do not have a headset, but it is nice to know I don't need to spend somewhere in the ballpark of $200 for a mic. Though my next question would be on what the sound quality is for these things? Also, thanks for linking these Kurushii.

Because I cannot stand people who abuse mics. Going around, entering rooms, spewing needless bigotry and then leaving after pissing everyone off, usually after you Haku-men counter them to death . Then again, I suppose I'd only be training with people I "know" from previous encounters. I mean, it costs just around $20 to get one no?

OK, so everyone is happy with having an Online Training mode. That's nifty and all I suppose, but could someone explain to me how this is might help or work even? If the idea behind it is to create a sort of mentor-student environment between two people online, how would the mentor convey what they want to the student outside of both parties getting a mic? I mean, I guess you could use messages but would that not break the flow of the "training session", stopping every time one person gets one to read it and respond?

Well normally I would say so, but it seems that Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle's Bruno Buccellati and his stand, Sticky Fingers have got him covered on that end. Maybe, but has he ever created a character who has a dress made out of belts or a .hack character that has a belt on every inch of their body?

Somewhere out there, Tetsuya Nomura is getting a raging stiffy over this post and loudly proclaiming "Finally, someone understands me".

Why be jealous? Last I remember, Nago wants to burrow into Jin's tights and Haku-men's baggy pants.

You get excited by Celica's exposed thighs. I am more fond of Noel's exposed buttcrack, barely concealed by her belt and wishful thinking :GetEm:.

Man that is a fine LE Boxart. The regular one looks like the PSP cover of CSII: Except the CP one replaces Makoto, Valkenhayn and Platinum with the newer additions. But meh, it's functional at the very least so I can't complain. Watch the localized version in August 2014 look even worse by comparison. Well this ought to be a neat little feature for the people who just got into BB with this installment and end up feeling lost on the story.

Oh nonsense. I love lolis...especially when they're slashed, garroted, immolated, frozen in carbonite and plastic-bagged onto that magical pony ride bound to oblivion.

Ah right, I forgot. Platinum was just so damn, what's a good word for it..."broken" by that point that Terumi kicking her teeth in wouldn't even be worth it. Man Terumi is THE best asshole as long as he's directing that energy towards Rachel and Platinum and not on any characters I happen to like .

Some people like that sort of thing. I can understand why sometimes though. I personally enjoy the part in CSE where Hazama kicks both Rachel and Platinum (at different routes mind) in the face when they're trapped. Thanks for the tip. Well, at least 100ft worth of cable is reassuring so I can look into that for an option. Now I just have to go and figure out how to not make this a hazard as I live with a group of people who are not gamers themselves, yet we all share that one router. For what it's worth, my wireless ping is 15 Ms. Dunno how good or bad that is, though as I said, I haven't had many problems with wireless before...unless I am playing something like the Transformers War for Cybertron Online Multiplayer (hello, take one step forward and fall through the floor as I apparently jumped off a ledge).

Man all this talk about internet connections makes me feel inadequate as I always played on wireless and, until just recently with Extend, have had no problems before. Things like people being kicked out of my room or even more hilarious, myself getting kicked out of my room post Player Match despite neither party doing it on purpose. Although, I am told this is more of a fault with the servers as opposed to my connection since I can get 2, 3 and sometimes 4 bars regularly. But, back to the point: even if I wanted to go wired, I am too far away from the router to string the wires together up a flight of stairs nor can I drill through the floor for it. Life really does suck when your earnings are just not enough as otherwise I'd just set up a router in my own room .

Aw, well that kind of sucks. I was hoping we'd get an early preview of the new English VAs. But then again, the game isn't even going to make it to North America until some undetermined date in 2014 so I guess it makes some sense. A Siliconera interview with Mori for those who are interested. Mostly a retread of the same responses regarding Kagura and Terumi though there are a few interesting little tidbits here and there: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/07/04/blazblue-chronophantasma-brings-us-80-through-the-blazblue-story-and-other-tidbits/
