Yes! Best Birthday present ever! Can't wait to hear about changes to Labrys and Naoto. Yukari looks pretty interesting too. Might have to pick her up because I'm a big fan of characters in any game that use bows and arrows.

I applaud your initiative but Divine God Kurushii has beaten you to it ^,^ http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?16725-CP-Import-ID-Thread

Not 100% sure but based on what I've seen in matches and combo videos since her release, I'm pretty sure any normal attack will make them follow up with their own attack. Not sure about specials and DDs. Don't think I've ever seen them activate from a special or DD. Since you have to attack to make the Slaver TransAm attack, I'm pretty sure using them while you're blocking or teching is out of the question. The Slaver TransAm is mostly just used as a way to open up some interesting combo routes so far. Though I suspect that it could also be used to create some equally as interesting blockstrings. Time will tell.

Looks like one of the perks of OD D Sonic Sabre. I'm looking forward to messing around with that more.

Thanks for the speedy impressions and details ElvenShadow. It's sounding great so far.

Hilda is looking good as always. Man, that Vatista vs. Hilda MU looks pretty brutal on Vatista.

Thanks for the uploads. Those were some pretty good matches.

Wow. Those are some interesting combo routes. I think I might take a few things myself. Thanks for posting this.

Yeah, that was some really good play. I need to watch the archives again later.

Congratulations! You just volunteered to get us as many details about Xrd as humanly possible in the time you'll have with it! ^,^ Nah, just kidding. Be sure to have a blast.

This week's topic sounds pretty interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of things I can do with training mode beyond what I'm doing now.

If you get a chance, please ask if they have any plans of releasing a NA limited edition that matches the Japanese limited edition. If not, ask what sort of things are they considering for a limited edition if they plan on making one.

I'd be more hype for Evo if it wasn't on Friday. I'll have to watch the archives later ;.; Good luck to any Labrys players who might be going to Evo though!

You didn't miss anything. Terumi has always been preorder DLC for Japan. Mori has indeed said that there will be no DLC chars but considering this was said during interviews concerning the NA localization at E3, no DLC chars might only apply for the NA localization

I'll be tuning in again tonight to take lots of notes again. Looking forward to the basic arche-type breakdown. I've pretty much made up my mind on Baiken but it'll be nice to know my other options.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming announcements about the improvements to netplay. Also, I like how ASW thinks we aren't going to like a long story mode here in NA. They have such a poor opinion of us ;.;

The Mahou Shoujo was strong with you last night, lol. Got to see lots of my favorite victory dance of Platinum riding a magical pony.

Rachel also had a different VA if memory serves me correctly. None of the VA changes were too bad for me except Hazama and Hakumen's new filter. I do really hope they manage to get back Hazama's original VA though.

Thank you, Santa Kurushii! Love that his OD animation makes his hood come off.

Cool. Guess I'll hop in on this later tonight and hopefully pick up a thing or two.

It is quite weird. I can understand Aksys having other engagements/projects that are blocking them from doing it but I honestly can't begin to think of anything that could be stopping ASW US from doing the localization like they did with Extend. Maybe they lack the manpower and resources now to do it? In any case, this third party localization studio pretty much explains why we have to wait 2+ months for the localization. Aksys and ASW already look like they aren't communicating very wellso it's going to be hell on the pace of the localization throwing another studio into the mix.

Tech videos sound like a pretty good idea since a lot of people are scratching their heads trying to figure out how to open people up with her.

I love our character too! I'm just not all that good with her and at fighting games ;.; I'm somewhat similar. I wouldn't say I hated the game when I first started playing at launch with Labrys but I really wasn't enjoying it as much as BB. But the more I played with Labrys and watched streams of the game, the more I warmed up to it. With Labrys in particular, I like the amount of patience and fundamentals that go into her. I don't know. Maybe it's because I got into fighting games with BBCS and would always play a friend who played Lambda. I got used to playing patiently pretty quickly and even started to really enjoy zoning MUs. I also really like the momentum aspect of the character. I'm actually really surprised how much I ended up enjoying her being a momentum character. It's part of the reason Bullet is going to shoot straight to my #2 spot come BBCP.

yo, dat Super Move. Can't wait to mess around with him in training mode

That's pretty interesting. Guess they want to go straight to focusing on GG Xrd and the new IP for PS4 once they finish the console version. Though I think all the people hoping for Jubei and Kokonoe just had their dreams crushed once again.
