Everything is speculation at this point I believe, though one of the translations said it changed her specials IIRC

God forbid they make the change animation based off her taunt...

Pretty much this. Until recently we had to deal with the possibility of not having our characters at all. A little wait won't kill us.

By time-release are we looking at arcades getting them at console release?

Looking back, I see the halo in all the shots where she's using her drive, which implies it's there for her 'active' mode, unless her drive stays consistent between modes and the armored/armorless thing is completely off.

I think the 'cosmic halo' is just part of the effect of the move change animation. The cylinder part of it is still partially there in those shots as well. And sorry for the horrid translations, google is all I have and at least that one was more hilariously bad than the others. I don't wanna post the others.

Looks like the 'sword increase' buff from overdrive applies to distortions as well, they're both in their UNLIMITED forms while it's active. And google translate gave us this little gem concerning her mode-change: "Can switch the mode by "face lift" can be mortal. Technique that can be used in different modes." Not sure what it means by 'mortal' but the 'face lift' implies to me she's simply taking off her mask to change modes.

Speaking of hyping over themes, before Nu and Mu were revealed, people were quoting the remixed theme total for proof they were cut. Does this mean they don't get remixes, or other themes were cut?

That was super neato

I'm betting on a mix of both. She'll be super srs mode like activated Nu, but less 'I hate the world and everything!'

>Tsubaki prime field I don't even >Tsubaki controlled by Imperator Possibly

Pretty much this. I like your optimism towards this. Better than instantly thinking the game will suck because of one character, which is half of what I see in this thread

Wait, the video we're waiting for is different than the new one we just watched? I missed something

Nu isn't exactly a simple murakumo. She was a failed attempt to make the Eye, implying she had the same goals at the beginning.

Yes, she has it, but she doesn't use it. Notice how she activates it when she goes unlimited? The basic murakumo can function at partial strength without the grimoire. Haz needed the azure link to /forge/ Mu, but she can work at low-power now without it.

It needs the power of the grimoire to do what /he wanted/. Nu's functions just fine without her activating her grimiore. Plus, it could be bullshitted into Noel using Bolverk as a power source.

Rags severed the link to the azure, allowing Rachel to help Noel use Mu's more basic powers.

Rachel kinda got trapped in a magical pit IIRC, forcing Rags to deal with everything and rescue her.

It's very well possible that Mu isn't the eye of the azure anymore. That would reduce her plot powers to reasonable levels but have no effect on her being able to use standard moves. Just like how Nu doesn't have to power up to fling swords. Noel turning into Mu is no different than Nu having an armorless mode.

Competent may be pushing it for me. I'm a Noel main who's practicing Lambda and Mu. I can get online anytime you wanna fight a few times but you'll have to bear with some truly spectacular lag

Because I'm relatively new here, don't post often, and don't play online because of horrible internet most likely

All these tears about Mu and Nu coming back So delicious

Hopefully she gets a subtle redesign befitting her reforging

This is the happiest moment I've had since chronophantasma was announced.

Another problem with making a new Murakumo rather than having Nu just regenerate herself, where would Haz get all the souls he needs? He's teamkilled the entire Kagutsuchi branch twice now and Ikaruga doesn't have a branch IIRC.
