Losing AST methods isn't bad... I mean, we dealt with losing using specials during drive, and we turned out fine. Besides, Noel getting new combos would be pretty cool ^__^. It would be a bit boring if she had the same combos... Besides, maybe her new options are even better and more varied! Besides, it's not just Noel that looks like they could lose their regular combo paths; it seems everyone is gonna have to find new ways to combo.
Honestly, I'm excited for it. New look+New combos combination would be really cool. Then again, we could still be keeping out AT options in the corner, so it's possible we won't have to change that much.
But hey, it's only been the first few loketests, I wouldn't be too worried if I were you .
