I think izayoi's neutral is pretty good but one has to establish a pace first (getting the first hit helps a lot). I often find myself winning easier while doing small damage in normal mode neutral than rushing with GA. ....I need more trainning, lol.

I'm still looking into pressure but I try doing 5a > (2a) > 5B for starters. This is where you start commiting to siet or how they say it: after 5B I can do 6a > 6B > RC > or 6A > 2C > 236B. After 6B I can also jump cancel for cross-up or overhead, or you can go 5B > 5C > jump cancel or low hit 6A. Or I omit all these stuff and go 5A > 2A > 6A > reset with 5A or command grab. I find doing blockstrings and hitconfirms much tougher now that our jump canceling option on 2B is gone but i hope I can make it work with more trainning- If anybody else could share their blockstring thoughts it would be very helpful In neutral I jump/dash around like an idiot and throw shurikens (mainly poison ones) for an opportunity to jump in. That (j.5B) > (j.5C) > lion poke/2C knockdown. j.command throws are also good damage here and there when I can get a read.

yes yes YES

blackraen I love you

Seeing as you can change the page to a pressentation of the retail version that includes a picture with terumi at the bottom, I get that he won't be included in the psn downloadable version, but I may be wrong..

Seconded, I couldn't agree more.

Jin looks like a champion of justice in tights and Hakugirl looks like a Nightmare plus Sephiroth crossover. I know it is quite obvious from even before playing the game, but i would still prefer it if they handled it some other way.

It was? I don't quite remember since I'm mainly fond of the reconstruction version from Extent, but anyway, as I said, it doesn't matter, lol If I recall correctly, I think that the fact that noel is actually the true successor to the azure (as in, the title of the 2nd episode) is revealed by hazama at the end of CT, so, given the fact that we already saw the loop where ragna and nu fall into the cauldron, there's a good chance that we may be getting done with CT in only a few episodes. Can't know for sure of course.

I think people on this thread are overexaggerating. The anime was actually enjoyable. The animation was not HALF bad- sure, it had a few choppy moments but it also had good ones. The badly drawn faces on some scenes is another case. Even the direction which seemed totally crappy from the PV had its moments too. The only thing that really bothered me is 1) the fail pacing on some scenes, like hakumen's entrance where he said his signature poem in fast-forward, and 2) the somewhat nonfriendly scenery for someone who doesn't know what's going on. However, this is only the first episode. *Never* judge an anime by the first episode alone. I know that ideally the first episode is the one that should determine whether someone is interested in the show or not, but there are quite few examples of storytelling media that had a messy "wtf" start, only to start explaining things later on. i wish they wouldn't spoil the whole hazama thing, since there are actually people who watch the show and are irrevelant to the games. But anyway, who cares, let's get to CS

Actually 3D models in anime are usually used for budget saving, so it's a good sign- I wonder how many times per second noel's butt/pantsu(?) flashes on the screen, lol

OMG this anime has already surpassed my expectations thanks

To those who have watched the first episode, the question is ONE: ...is hakumen a 3D model or not?
