did...did I just see Sion on the official website?

I actually think the Unknown Girl looks a bit more like Caelica than Tsubaki.

You also have to remember that MB is pretty big in Japan because of it being a Type-Moon product as Kinoko Nasu has one of the most rabid (and increasing) fanbases among anime fans.

That is, unfortunately, probably very true. I'm sure the MB community will embrace it due it being made by French Bread, but MB fans are pretty niche as far as fighting game fandoms go (especially outside of Japan). Dojin fighters in general tend to be forgotten very quickly.

just found video of this game from shoryuken. You can definitely tell it was made by French Bread and reading the setting synopses, it looks like they're taking a few notes from Kinoko Nasu (not that there's anything wrong with that). I'm just weirded out by how so many character have OUTRAGEOUS reach and pokes (like Yuzuriha, Gordeau, Merkava, Waldstein, and even Hyde to some degree). I'm not 100% liking the character design, but that might change. Definitely keeping an eye on this as I am a HUGE Melty Blood fan.

They only mean as much as someone feels like making them. I've seen a bunch of creative writing instructors who don't know jack about making a decent story despite being allowed to teach it.

Yeah, those are what I was referring to. They're probably not exactly like Bullet, but they were the closest things I could think of.

I have seen some moves in KoF that can be called "strike throws"; Kyo and Iori's come to mind and I guess Blue Mary is another example as they had grappling techniques that could be blocked as they started with a hit instead of a grab. In fact the way they describe Bullet reminds me female grapplers from KoF

Amane: Um....ew. Bullet: Huh, very interesting; wonder what her situation is? Azrael: Well, that doesn't explain much.

I'm really wondering whose crest that is on the title for CP. For CT it was the Black Beast's and for CS it was Mu's. Speculation!

Very interesting. Almost reminds me of the KoF female grapplers (like Blue Mary)
