Probably never. I'm currently stuck having to wait at least another week for Muramasa Rebirth because of some nonsense issues at the border. It's the same story with BB. Calamity Trigger arrived in a timely manner (as in on the same day as the US release date), but every single BB game after it had some kind of arbitrary delay. I recall having to wait 3 weeks for Extend due to an issue that was never explained to retailers.

Huh, according to this http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/035/490/51c8136665319.html Terumi knows he is in Kagutsuchi (he refers to it by name). Yet, wasn't he sealed before any of the hierarchical cities were complete? Wouldn't that mean that if he's there now, that there are now two of Terumi running around in present time?

Well as long as Bang is the Flaming Jalapeno Burrito of Justice, then I have no complaints .

A better question would be: why aren't they being compared to food? Though I imagine the end result will be something like if the "Veggie Tales" had mated with a copy of "A Good Man Is Hard To Find".

Sorry but I prefer Noel's brand of crumpets and Makoto's sugar rush energy drink/coffee. Because she's 100% bitch, 100% of the time. She has no off-button. It's like she was born on some prophetic Bitchpocalipse calendar in order to make everyone's life a living Hell. I can tolerate Sena though I prefer Amane for my trap needs. And it's just Luna I don't like this much. Which is why whenever I see Hazama kicking her face in during the story mode (yes I know Platinum was Trinity at the time) it makes me smile. Too bad that was non-canon XC.

By the quaking bones of Stephen King, thank you. I never understood people's fascination with the Luna personality of Platinum. She's the only character that drives me nuts.

Mostly a financial one. I lack the funds for importing otherwise I'd be importing a lot of other games from Japan. The other issue is my lack of understanding of the language. I am one of those weird mutants that needs to understand the story since I like it so damn much and I can't do that with the Japanese copy.

Apparently people are of the opinion that his new filter in Extend makes him sound like a 500 ton brontosaurus. I personally feel it makes him sound more badass but then again, I just like most voices in Blazblue (both Japanese and English). Thank goodness for people importing the game since I lack the means to do so. Hopefully some kind soul will upload some Terumi mirror matches somewhere down the line.

This just in: 2 people agreeing on something on a forum is now considered self-evident. Fair enough. I can honestly say I don't really care what they do to Haku-men's voice since I liked both the old and the new filter.

*And is now picturing E.Honda dressing up as Haku-men. Dammit man, why must you put evil thoughts into my brain ?

Why do you say that? That "mistake" filter actually made him sound much more badass.

But...I like Bang with throat cancer. It is positively funny. Grating? Sure. But definitely hilarious. I also happen to like the filter they used for Haku-men's new lines in Extend and the new guy that did Hazama's lines. Besides, wasn't ASW handling the localization of Extend anyway? They did have most of the original VAs back so I doubt we'll see completely new VAs for the characters.

But why charge when you can just soar on the Hornet Buster Airlines?

Either or. Nothing could be worse than learning that the localized version is delayed to sometime in 2014 so whatever bad news ya got for us couldn't be any worse than this.

They also said there would 26 characters on the roster, yet we only have 25 with Kagura and Terumi. Then they said that all characters were revealed and that there wouldn't be any so it was likely a PR mistake. Just think of it this way: Terumi is likely unlockable through story mode but the pre-order makes him playable right off the bat. Also, Mori is a liar so take whatever he says with a grain of salt and vinegar.

It's probably just referring to Terumi being a DLC pre-order. Though I don't doubt we'll get some other form of DLC as well. Can you say, Nine voice packs ladies and gentlemen?

I was actually joking though since this (potentially) creates some lovely situations. Player X (Tager): Ugh he OD combo'd me. Luckily my health is the size of an aircraft carrier and I still have full meter so I can... Player Y (Terumi): LOL, nope. No meter for your G.E.T.B. Player X: Oh...shit.

Apparently so. I foresee some crazy OD combos that take your opponent from full 100 Heat to 0 once people learn how to use it. You'll enjoy doing it to others but hate getting it done to you. Oh...wait...how long do you figure Terumi mirror matches will last? "Hey dumbass I just stole your meter". "Bitch please, I stole your meter".

Man if I still believed in Santa Claus I'd think today was Christmas. Thanks Kurushii. Well I was more referring to the arcade scene in Japan as opposed to online, because online can royally bumspank Makoto due to lag on her Drives. It is why you also don't see Taokaka online much either due to possible lag killing her combos. Though I know Japan loves their S-tiers, but I brought up Makoto specifically because she was a lot more present then as soon as Extend hit, boom, dropped like a diseased rat while the others remained fairly consistent.

But it does have a weight of truth to it. Look at how many people took to playing Makoto once CSII hit. She was damn near everywhere because of how stupidly easy she was to pick up and win with. Then the Extend nerfbomb was dropped on her and subsequently, nearly everyone dropped her. Not everyone is like Goro, who can still do decently well with her. Other people just want to win with the least amount of effort needed. It's why Ragna's playerbase hasn't really diminished, even though he was never truly the top tier character.

That's the problem though; we don't have all the information so the flipping of the shit is bound to happen. Since we have not seen it in action all theories for it being either OP or balanced are equally as likely to happen. Maybe so, but I still remember the days where "Drive summons swords" sounded like an unimpressive feat on paper, yet turned into a virtual death machine in CT. Or how single hit Curse worked for Arakune back then. It isn't that I don't trust ASW to do a good job of balancing, but even they cannot predict just how potent or not Terumi's gimmick will turn out to be. Yes, I am aware that they can always fix it in another game but until they do, you're going to be stuck with whoever is the more broken character. Now of course, this is all just a theory, hypothetical predictions on my part and I have no intention of claiming it as fact (I even said that I will wait until I see/know more), but right now the idea of an agile, meter-stealing Terumi is...not pleasing to say the least. And at the risk of sounding like a damn nerd, I still remember the days where Neji could tear apart your meter in 3 hits, on hit or on block.

That remains to be seen. Right now we have no idea how he's going to work unless ASW patches in him and Kagura prior to the console release, which likely won't happen since they'd lose out on console sales. Ergo we will need to wait until at least until October~November before deeming him either "eh, decent tier" or "broken-ass-OP-SOB". However, if he really does steal meter, then I think people have a right to be concerned. I made this argument back when someone suggested the idea and I thought it to be very difficult (if not outright impossible) to balance. As people already said, Heat is integral to every single character. Those that need to use 50 Heat just for a decent reversal or need that Counter Assault are in definite trouble. This gets even worse for Haku-men since he needs meter exclusively for his specials. I get that ASW is trying to make an Anti-Haku character that's easier for people to use, but this idea sounds far too frightening on paper. Of course, I am willing to wait and see what happens and it isn't as though I won't play Terumi if he's fun, but right now, I am going to be skeptical.

DC Douglas is going to be the voice for Azrael according to one of his blogs. This was a few months back. However, just because he was cast for the role, that doesn't mean the script for the game was done at the time. They could have just asked him to do the battle voices and do the story script later. And even if the script was translated and done, localization isn't just simply translating the text. For instance, DC Douglas might have finished his lines, but that doesn't mean every other VA has completed theirs (due to other projects and availability). In addition, even if the VAs have recorded their stuff, someone still needs to edit them and put the finishing touches to the finished product. Then there's bug testing, legal paperwork that needs approving and...yeah, it can take a while.

I dunno why, but if I had my choice, I'd pick either Steven Jay Blum or Quinton Flynn as Amane. Then again, I was fine with Johnny Yong Bosch voicing (based off that unfounded wiki mention) him as well since I listened to his take on Lelouch (Code Geass) and Izaya (Durarara). The voice might not have been all that different, but if the man can act like a campy/fabulous narcissist, then I think it'll be fine. I say this partially because I think JYB is a good VA but also because I think I'd like to have Liam O'Brien voicing Kagura instead XD.

Try instead in the ballpark of at least 4 months (they said something along the lines of Q1 2014). And I would have believed that if Aksys was localizing it. But since news of a 3rd undisclosed company doing it, I can already foresee delays upon delays for the localization until that Q1 release becomes a Q4 instead. Since they didn't reveal who is actually doing the localization by name, I am willing to bet that said company isn't even good and will botch it up, leading to my predicted delays.
