In case anyone was curious, I haven't forgotten about this thread. A bit strapped for time as of late, but I plan to dump videos in here around this time next month in preparation for the JP release of CF, so stay tuned.

You need to superjump after 6A, and yes it does work in the corner.

Mai will most likely be paid DLC based off patterns found in previous iterations of the game, but we won't know for certain until as early as Tokyo Game Show.

My only concern with that strategy is if the j.D will actually come out in time before Es hits the ground, since she has to make the circular motion with her sword before the crest is created.

I find that delay 2B catches every option that's not neutral tech, doing "5D > 2B" is a bit risky because you might miss the timing for 2B if you're not precise. Additionally mashing 5A over them when they're down is another good option (corner only), as they'll roll or delay tech into the active frames: the only hard part is the confirm after it can be difficult if you weren't expecting to catch the roll. (The confirm would look something like "5A > 5C > 2C > 214B > 5C > 2CC > JC > j.C > JC > j.CC > j.214A into 5A mash again) You pretty much have the right idea: bait 3C/anti air attempts with iAD j.C and try to make her move with 421A so that you can meet her air to air or anti-air her.

I agree with round start backdash falling j.B, maybe j.C too given its range. Wouldn't suggest using Bors though, no point creating space if we're going to just let them close in in the time it'll take for them to get to us while using it. Same goes for using it in the middle of a blockstring too, asking to get punched in the face. I feel TK. Breunor is going to be really good as a neutral tool: at the right height the first shot should be able to hit grounded opponents and the second shot should hit airborne opponents.

Alright, do you have CF Nu in color Eight (Aegis)?

Hey Tong, do you have any clear renders of Es? If so, may I request a recolor of her as her Number 6 palette? Thank you.

Noel is a character where you want to try to block as much as you can, she has reversal options but they're not exactly ideal. 4D is her meterless reversal that loses to lows and throws, but because of how easy it is for an opponent to adjust their pressure in order to properly bait it: it isn't something you should rely on. Though that isn't to say you shouldn't use it at all, as it's a good move to use to punish a possible overhead attempt. Fenrir (her 50 meter distortion) is another reversal option, which is more akin to a DP, but is also flawed as well. Opponents can react to the super flash and block even if it appeared they pressed a button during the activation, and if they safejump it using an air normal: they can barrier the guardpoint and punish it for free. So yes, I would recommend blocking: as it would help you out more in the long run as a whole given you are a newer player.

Something that really caught my eye was Es doing air fireball > activate crest > IAD > j.C, not to mention she was able to OTG Ragna afterwards after her air stomps with 5C. She seems to be very juggle focused going off of the PV, and given what we've seen above she has plenty of ways to do it: being able to combo off of a fireball meterless is a pretty strong ability.
