Circuitous

Except, as a guard crush, you have to do additional work to properly capitalize on the situation. Simply calling it an unblockable is blatantly wrong.

They cause a guard crush, they're not unblockable.

Seems to be the case, yes. Also I invite translators to post in the new translation thread to avoid the information getting lost here.

Crimson Depths: 烙印状態を維持し続けます Seems like it prevents the curse meter from draining. And some of you guys need to work on your katakana.

It'll get done when people capable of doing it get around to it, you don't need to ask.

You've seen ~10 seconds of footage and half of a super...

I wouldn't expect anything until at least noon Japan time, and that's assuming people are right on top of things with reports.

Obviously they'll all be charge characters. BlazBlue: Charge Playstyle imo

It was the "anime is different vs. common sense" thread. Sure maybe one of them will be a charge character, why the fuck not.

A lot of big-name Capcom players (that didn't start with SF4 or Marvel) either played or still play anime games.

We HAVE a separate thread for news and info. It's been a sticky for nearly two years. The good info will go there and once the hype dies down a bit we'll quietly close this thread and move on. Until then, get hype.

No.

Let it rock. If you have anything of value to contribute [loketest info, actual posted gameplay information (NOT SPECULATION), etc.] post in in the BB News Thread.

Patch is already coming along, according to reports. Hopefully 360 owners won't have to wait too long.

Sunset.

Hipster doesn't do hitboxes, we had a special viewer for that. The images are mostly pretty huge though.

You're doing the world a great service. Hope you can get some good info out of it.

It being a Persona game actually explains a lot of this.

Because Naoto's sprite has an intentionally boyish face.

Actually it seems Dantarion is on to something with regards to getting the frame data right out of the character scripts, similar to how we got the hitboxes. Hopefully that pans out.

And they put it in the mook. This group dropped the ball, I guess.

[except we normally get that data from mooks]

Can't say I know anything about them. Zinac got the BB hitbox viewer to read P4A's data, you might try him.
