Damn, looks like Merkava really is the Arakune of this game, both in character design AND in hilariously bullshit gameplay.

No one knows. They've been there since she was first revealed, and we still haven't figured out WTF they're for.

I....I think they made Chain Shift a little too powerful....

Damn, Seth must REALLY hate her. BladeOfJustice: I meant a visual-novel-style story mode. Like BB's or P4A's.

They want to give the console release (hopefully it will get one...) a VN-story like BB, so that's probably right. I hope they got some good story-writers, this seems like it can be really interesting.

Well...She does. It's incredibly simple--"I HATE EVERYTHING"--but it's there. Hell, Lambda is an emotionless robot but she still had a story. The real problem with Mu story-wise is that she IS Noel and takes a dedicated effort from Hazama to come out

...Isn't the entire point of Instant Block to reward good blocking? Giving it a penalty would be analogous to stabbing a good student in their writing hand because they do well on tests. It's completely nonsensical.

David Vincent's "fucking-insane" voice was very good in my opinion--wait, I'm actually trying to engage in meaningful conversation with a weeaboo? I really should stop doing that, consorting with ignoramuses is dangerous to rational people

I'm with you, man. How can you wrong with Patrick Seitz, Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Christina Vee, Mela Lee...fuck, I haven't even named HALF of the cast yet. 'Course, the JPN is pretty awesome, too. Online mirror matches where one person's using Japanese and the other English are always pretty cool to watch. I wonder who they'll get for Amane. Azrael and Bullet shouldn't be that hard to find suitable actors for, but Amane will be...interesting.

HYPE Time to see if GG is all it's cracked up to be.

Okay, I see what you mean, but that begs the question of what the purpose of IaMP's bullets are in the first place. (this is a little OT, though)

I know you play it, I enjoy your commentary on Bullet Action a lot. But my point is that IaMP bullet mechanics means that most of the characters have some kind of offense from full-screen or near full-screen.

I dunno, I like IKs just because they show off what each character can do when they're not fucking around.

At first I thought Merkava's was the best, but then Seth's proved that he's the best FG character EVER.

It's also pretty dumb that our favorite robo-girls are being kicked out unceremoniously, but hey.

I like all of those too, but there's something about SoD's guitar that's just amazing in my eyes. The only real bad part is the solo (too...upbeat sounding) IMO.

If we still don't have a Jin vs. Hakumen theme...

It's always hilarious when a character has trouble fighting themselves. You'd think all mirror matches would be 5-5.

Well, fuck, I think the official announcement of how big the OST of CP is proves that Lamby and Mu aren't in it. It apparently has 28 remixes of old songs. If you look at CS's OST amd take out Sword of Doom and Awakening The Chaos (along with Bang's FRKZ music), you get 28 songs. Fuck.

There's no Sword of Doom or Awkening the Chaos?! Fuck, I guess our lovely robot girls really are gone Q_Q (Goddamit SoD was the best song in the whole series)

There's no way the game is bigger than 8 gigabytes.

HOLY FUCK Ishiwatari once again proves that he is Japanese Musical Jesus Christ.

I dunno, I couldn't do any of her combos at all. Then again, I can't do any combos at all.

Labby is a beginner character? I played her for a short while and dropped her because I found impossible to win with her.

GGs to the one dude I fought on Ranked--name was XSHADOW_BLACK8X or something--before I just lost the drive to play this game for the day. Winning with Naoto is a herculean task.
