I thought Jin and Hakumen both had Tsubaki colors. Maybe I'm getting it mixed up.

I'm sure bang will be like Hakumen. They both appear to be nerfed, but people will figure stuff out and get used to it. I saw a 5.2k midscreen combo with Hakumen only using 5 Magatama. Considering how fast he gets that stuff now, that's pretty nuts. I'm positive that Bang will get better with time. It's pretty obvious that most of the people playing him are still figuring stuff out.

I feel like bang got nerfed pretty hard. His combos lack much damage and 5D doesn't launch anymore, which makes combo-ing off crouching opponents nearly impossible. The manly good-guy deserves better than this.

Holy shit, I want to play Tager again.

I heard about the combos being based around time. It's pretty cool to not have to wait ages for a chance to play. "Looks like he got a hit, I'll wait 20 seconds for his combo to end".

Outside of combos, is Agito mainly being used for pressure and crossups? I rarely see anyone get a hit with it and I've yet to see someone followup beyond getting some pressure out of it. Thinking about it, it might be pretty dumb if you could combo for just 1 star.

LOL America... And wtf Japan?! Did anybody else see the box of tissues? JAPAN, what else can I say? Tager seems like he's pretty good, and it'll be nice to see his new gimmicks as people find them. Obviously his damage seems pretty good now, but I'll miss flinging people around like there's no gravity. Something about how he combo'ed in Extend was really satisfying. I was also suspecting he would lose a lot of potential for heat gain, but I'm sure it's still well above average. It would be nice to see something exciting about him, but I just don't feel like playing him anymore for some reason. It's all Azraels fault (and Hakumen's). My hype levels went nuts yesterday when I saw some footage of a GOOD Hakumen who knew actually GOOD combos in CP. Finally, someone figured how that stuff works and the damage can be pretty nuts with the right conditions. With a 5C or Zantetsu (Is that what it's called?) starter you can break 5k midscreen, but with anything else you'll have trouble breaking 2k unless you feel like wasting orbs. It seems like you can't even follow the same combo path with the weaker starters, else they'll just tech out of it. But I guess that's fine. I'm ok with getting more frequent fast, weak combos because it seems like more fun. And it's great to see his potential for damage jump a few thousand just because of a different starter. Azrael is still who I'm the most hyped for, especially since he has Kamina and Takaya color palettes. I get so hyped watching him, even the horrible players. What is strange is how he has such high consistent damage, but no potential for outrageous damage. I've rarely seen him get 4k (which is still high, don't get me wrong) but it's not like he's gonna all of a sudden pull 6 or 7k out of his ass just because he starts with a good prorating move. Maybe people will find something with his OD. It doesn't really matter, though. He already has potential to carry momentum and kill someone incredibly quickly.

Dang, It's crazy to see midscreen damage like that, even with 5C. I understand that he used like 5 stars but considering how much faster he builds it up, that's looking good. I doubt that you can get a similar combo off a weak starter, though, nor do I think it would be worth the meter at that point. But I really like how it's looking. i was feeling really down about Haku up until today, but now I have enough hype to go around. Besides, even if it did less damage it's still pretty sexy. I always had a problem relaunching people midscreen in extend, but I feel like I might actually have an easier time with the new combos. I guess we'll all see for ourselves once we get a chance to play.

I can tell that it's their move lists, but sadly I don't read Japanese.

I was hoping that Kanji would be his Persona reference, just because of the jacket. Obviously we'll all become a part of team Dai-Gurren. Who wouldn't want to be their badass leader every now and then?

I didn't mean to imply that a combo would do more damage with magnetism, but I meant that you could do a better combo instead with it. It Extend, Tager only gets 1.2k off what that same combo. A generic magnetized combo starting with 5A does a little over 3k, while a better / longer combo in extend does 500-600 less. Not sure what character's 3C you are talking about.

Wow I had no idea that his OD stopped weak points from disappearing. I wonder what kind of hell we can bring with something like that. Are you sure that you can't cancel into it mid-combo?

R.I.P Gundam Wing, you were an excellent childhood. I'll admit that I really like Izayoi's design a lot, but I'm not sure that she's my type of character. Azrael and Haku are looking like the most fun for me, even if Hakumen is a shell of his former self. Tager admittedly looks boring now, I don't know why. It's strange because he's better in a lot of way's now. Combos seem like they got worse and have less options in combos, but the damage is still way better. 5A > 5B > 5C > 6A > 3C is 1.8k now and that's not even magnetized.

I like Azraels theme a lot, but not in a way where I would want to just listen to it without the game. Pretty good stuff tho.

After watching some footage of CP, I feel like it could be really fun to spend time playing fighting games at an actual arcade.

He's so manly that he needs two belts to keep it all in.

Are there any videos with just the new music yet? I want to put the new Lust Sin on my walkman.

Lucky for me, I don't have a "main" in BB. I'll be sure to play the cool dude with the Kanji jacket/cape. I'm a sucker for characters that don't wear clothes properly, especially if it makes it look like a cape. Gameplay, balancing, play-style, it all doesn't matter. Clothing matters, color matters. Remember kiddies, your outfit determines the outcome of the entire match. If you lost, then you should probably pick a new color, or get a cape. Now take what I have taught you all and go win some tournaments.

Damn this character is looking good. I'll play him no matter how good he turns out in the end, just like Kanji, but he seems amazing at this point. The last 10 or so matches I've seen were him just bodying people. Consistent high damage is the best kind of damage!

God.... The more footage I see of Azrael, the more I want... no... NEED to play him. It's the same feeling I had about Kanji and is the only reason I even got P4A. Fingers crossed, hoping he ends up being a great character. He's looking solid right now, maybe the best of the new 3 shown so far. Whatever Arcsys does, please don't take away the combo where he kicks you like 6 times into the corner. Man, that's cool. I'll obviously still play Haku, Tager, and probably try out some others, but right now Azrael looks like a stud. there's something about jackets that look like capes.

Sorry if this has been answered at some point, but I'm pretty curious. When you reveal either a grey or yellow weak point, is there a set amount of time that it lasts or anything like that? I've seen Azrael expose weakpoints and and then get pressured by the other player without them disappearing. It would be pretty awesome if they lasted for either a long time or until you used them. This character looks boss, so I'm a little bit excited, just to say the least. His combos, especially the ones where he repeatedly kicks the opponent, are sexy.

I doubt I'll ever play Extend much more, but it would be sweet if Jimmy could show me some stuff with Tager. What's a good time to head down there, assuming I can still make it? My parents are cooking so it would have to be after dinner. NEVERMIND, my parents are going out but they still expect me to cook all this crap instead of them. Maybe I can make it next time and maybe Bryce can come with.

I'll try to come tonight to play some P4A and BB. Who still plays CT? I started with Extend, so I'll probably just watch.

I saw a video on Jourdal's channel where I saw a grab easily combo into Mugen. I'm not sure what will be optimal for that or if loops will work, but that should be at least a quick 5-6k. Considering how much faster orbs build up, it looks like Mugen will be more practical in matches. I can't wait to see some more optimal stuff show up. EDIT: Jourdal just uploaded a video showing how OD will work with Mugen. Pretty interesting stuff, but it seems that you can't break 4k with Mugen off of a grab yet. Hopefully someone figures a good combo out for that.

I love how Amane's astral turns tager into a tinker toy.
