I actually did a little netplay with a 3 bar connection and it honestly wasn't bad. My opinion might change after playing some offline casuals this weekend, though!

re: netplay, I heard people saying that the PS3 version has some issues but the PS4 version seems more stable? Can anyone corroborate that?

From what I can gather (and from talking with my Japanese friends), there are definitely tiers in this game but everyone can compete pretty well thanks to the system. EXAMU games /generally/ tend to be this way to varying degrees. My gut tells me it won't be as skewed as Aquapazza was, but time will tell.

I've yet to netplay anyone yet but I would like to try. General impression is that it's better than Aquapazza but not great? I'm really liking Homura so far, by the by. I still don't have a great feeling for the general gameflow but she feels very strong. She has good damage, good pokes and a good DP. Heart feels really good too! Her ground game feels a little weird since she retains her step dash from Arcana Heart instead of having a run, but her air Homing more than makes up for that. That and she feels like Heart in a different game and not some unrelated character - a good amount of her basics from AH carry over and play into her combo theory. The only thing that is tripping me up is her button remappings for the DPB system (AH3 6C becomes 6A, AH3 2C becomes 2E, AH3 2E becomes 2C, et cetera).

Downloading now!

re: Japanese wiki, I think there could just be a linked translation guide for it. I was just thinking there's no reason to re-do work, but putting it on Mizuumi (if you guys reach out to Bellreisa for it) is also a fine alternative as long as the wiki gets filled out properly. I'll probably also be streaming later tonight once the game goes up (assuming it's today).

Not sure if there is a need to write a wiki when this exists: http://npblasterz-wiki.net/nbfan/ Had a lot of good information already written up for the majority of the cast.

Actually, someone managed to rip the swimsuit video before it went down it seems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxtumj5ktZU

Well, if I'm right, it should hit PSN tonight so we shouldn't have to wait too much longer to get our hands on her! Er, you know what I mean. D:

Video was removed.

It should be. Judging on how these things generally work, it should be available for purchase Wednesday night.

Objectively, I think she'd probably be more similar to AH1/2 Heart since those games are more ground-based and the screen in this game is much smaller than AH3. That's sorta what I'm expecting to see from her.

I'm hype for the Heart footage too, but seeing Homura looking pretty strong is very nice to see! Really hype to main her!

Her homing is air only and I'm going to assume you probably can't block during it? I'm not sure what effect it will have honestly, but I doubt it will allow her to ignore neutral. I'm also assuming she has a normal roll on the ground when she uses the D button.

Meter Gain is pretty much the same as it was in vanilla with some minor adjustments. Having one meter at the start of a round which regens isn't really a problem with gameflow at all since the pace of the game is very fast and meter is used for numerous actions (regular Supers, Homing Cancels, Guard Cancels, and Arcana Supers).
