Are we talking in general Angry, since it could also apply to Street Fighter, or something else specific with Blazblue? Sad to hear such negative reception, since this is the series that got me into AirDashers, and I'm legitimately excited for Noel buffs, Azrael changes, who honestly looks better to me here, since his bad matches took a larger tumble, trying out Nu, since I never played CT, and above all else, FINALLY having Lambda back properly! Such a shame, since I love 1.1 right now as it is.

This stuff sounds great and I really didn't expect them to give us this much, even though I no it's not final yet. I haven't been keeping up with our Detective Prince too much lately due to playing Adachi, but what's this "last bullet bonus" that's apparently going away in 2.0? Was there some trick to reduce her cooldown or something after we used all 5 of our shots?

I believe a Carl player also picked him up in 2.0. I don't know his name, but he uses the Kamina color. Has Dogura said why he's not using Azrael as much? He looks virtually unchanged from what I've seen, and I honestly think he might be better overall, since the other top tiers took much worse hits and his buffs were pretty significant. I know Gazama was his original main, but, pardon the pun, is the "new" Nu really just THAT good? Because despite it being a SUPER early list, I don't see how on Earth he dropped from S/A+ to C, even if most of the cast got pushed up!

All this Nu-13 talk has me curious Errol, has Dogura said anything about switching to her full-time from Azrael? Because he's been playing her ALOT lately! Speaking of The Tyrant, what's the general consensus on him right now? Even if he is weaker overall compared to 1.1, he still, well, looks like the same old Azrael, but I barely see him being used at all anymore.

Glad to finally hear Dogura's take on things. Terumi still being Bottom Tier is disappointing, since he seems much better from the footage I've seen of him. I'm curious, how big is his player base in Japan? Top and Bottom seem to be lining up pretty well it seems, despite it still being SUPER early. Dogura putting his main Azrael in the "Everyone Else/I Don't Know" pile really surprises me though, especially since he made him look completely fine in that footage Jourdal uploaded recently. I'd like to hear a non-Azrael main's opinion on him, but did he really get nerfed that much? Or is this a case of him falling a bit by default because the majority of the cast got pushed up? I honestly thought he'd actually be BETTER in this version due to the other tops seemingly taking more hits and none of his nerfs seemingly inherently crippling. Still gonna be giving out the Gustav either way though.

I know someone mentioned Navigators a page or two back, but has it been confimed if you can unlock Fuuka and Nanako Navis in-game if you didn't already purchase them for P4A? I just got a new PSN card, so I can buy them if I have to, but I'd like to save the money, even if they're really not THAT expensive, if I can get them some other way. Also, thanks for that NeoStrayCat, I figured that was the case, since I didn't have Teddie, whom I had unlocked in the original P4A when I started up Ultimax. I figured that was the case, but it 's nice to have that confirmed.

Even though I have no interest in playing Zato, I'd say he's my favorite player to watch as well, it just looks like he's stealing souls with his Zato play! As for Kazunoko, I haven't seen him play in awhile, since he's focusing on USF4 at the moment, but he said he wanted to make it his 3rd game alongside USF4 and UMVC3, since it's what got him into fighting games, even though I've also seen him play Ultimax and KOFXIII a fair bit lately as well. I appreciate the Ram input from some of you that have hands-on experience against her. I know Setplay naturally makes any character good, regardless of the game, It just seemed like Milia and Faust were doing better stat-wise, and Zato's glass ceiling is always going to keep him from running amok, so I just wondered if she REALLY was on their level, especially with Ogawa's "unstable" comment. But Karinchu makes her look even more obnoxious than Daiji does! I'm a Setplay/"Single Player Game" type of guy myself, but I understand that's not everybody's cup of tea. And her approach to it does seem a bit unique for the Guilty Gear series, even though, as I said, I'm not AS familiar with it as I am BB, so I could certainly see why you guys feel the way you do about her. I'm sure we'll get a rebalance at some point though.

Yeah Fenrir, he seems to be more on that Ultra grind with Evil Ryu nowadays, but hopefully he'll come back at some point. Also, finally took a look at character Rankings, and she's 8th played overall, so around half the roster gest more play than her, and their were only two Ram's in Top 20 compared to FOUR Millias and Fausts, so where would you say that puts her in the overall grand scheme of things, from those of you who have played the game?

Speaking of Karinchou, king, is he coming back to Ram anytime soon, or has he dropped her completely for Milia? Or is he just going to play both? We can agree on one thing though, Blade, I miss Machabo's Ky play as well, he was favorite one to watch in Xrd and AC+R. Hope he comes back someday as well, but apparently he just thinks Sol invalidates his existence.

I'll take your word for it king, since you actually have some first-hand experience against some top-quality ones. And I'll give you that, her J.P DOES look pretty obnoxious in her match videos. I wasn't referring to the first list that he made in Arcadia around May, Blade, I was referring to his recent one, that he put on Twitter September 24th, that went: S: Milia, Zato, Faust, Ramlethal A: I-No, Sol=Ky, Chipp=Venom B: Everyone Else I can't remember how many pages back it was, but he also offered some opinions on his placements, such as lacking experience in the Zato Mirror, because their aren't that many around, thinking that Milia was definitely the best right now, saying that he thought I-No could replace Ram in the S Tier because she was "unstable," that Venom's space control was stronger than people give it credit for currently, and I think something about Bedman and Potenmkin as well. The "unstable" statement was specifically what I was referring to when I cited his thoughts on her. I ofudn the Player's Guild site, just to see how many Ram's were up in the Rankings, but, since I can't read Japanese, I have no idea how to tell who or what's what with it.

Thanks for the replies BladeOfJustice7 and Appledash-. Wasn't trying to imply that her representation, or lack thereof, made her bad at all, I just wondered if she'd gotten some new tech or dominated a recent tournament or something, since this is the first time I've seen someone really complain about her, when she's always looked extremely good to me from what I've seen of her. And yes, several more Rams did make it to the finals of the Qualifiers and got bopped, so had they all won, she probably would've made up like a quarter of the bracket. I can count the number of Seth players in SF4 on one hand, especially know that so many of them have gone away once Capcom nerfed him hard in Ultra, but he's always been strong because of his Vortex and Stun game. As for the Viper/Vergil comparison in Marvel, I don't really think it's fair, when Vergil IS on a different than her in that game. CTRL Unknown just got 3rd with her at TFC this past weekend. Vergil's popular not just for his ease of use, but because he's the BEST anchor in the game, PERIOD. None of the other 49 characters have as much potential in that game as he does. I was more referencing Ogawa saying she was the 'least stable" top tier in my questioning of her abilities, but she does look fearsome, and I don't want to unintentionally derail the thread now that I have my answer. Thanks guys. I always thought the Zato MU was ever and she lost to Faust and Milia, but perhaps I was wrong, since I don't think there's a true MU chart floating around anywhere.

Not to steer the conversation away from the release date, but since I don't feel like going back through all of these pages to quote people, what's the problem with Ram's combos? Do people just think they're too long, or give her too much corner carry? I know she's considered to be S Tier/Top 6, and had the second-most reps at Arc Revo behind Milia IIRC, but she doesn't me as being better than Milia, Faust and Zato. Then again, I'm new to GG, since my "airdasher" roots lie in BB and Persona, but I think even Ogawa said he thought that she was the "least stable" of the current top tiers and could be replaced by I-No if she got fleshed out more. So did she get some CRAZY new tech or something, or are people just worried about her because she's new/ a playable boss like Seth in SF4?

Heard about this earlier today, but it's still FANTASTIC NEWS and it's fun to join in on Hype Trains! Glad to see Elphelt is going to be free for a week just like my new P4AU main Adachi was, since I plan on putting ALOT of time into her and her sister Ramlethal, since I don't have my original main, Dizzy.........yet! Now to just figure out how to get myself a PS4 and the Xrd stick BEFORE Christmas! FREE BRIDE WAIFUS LET'S GO!!! Just out of curiosity though, isn't muti-regional gameplay the standard in most games, save for NRS titles? I can play anybody from anywhere in Capcom games, and was pretty sure I had some international SCV matches back in the day too, though I could just be remembering wrong.

That Terumi video actually involves Nu-13, not Lambda-11. But the update is nonetheless very much appreciated toanenadiz.

Thanks for these! Been dying to see what he could do against Yukari, since she's been giving me some trouble lately, as well as some footage against Marie and Rise, since I don't see them too often. Just out of curiosity, is this the same Die-Chan that played Mitsuru in Arena, and was the most infamous MINAZUKI player in the arcades? Is he dropping our Scar-Faced Savior, or is he just messing around with waifus?

Wouldn't call myself an expert Adachi by any means, since I'm still getting my feet wet with the NA version, but this should be a good learning experience for me, and I'd be down for Saturday depending on time of course.

Looks like we've got some final, definitive Noel changes for BBCP 2.0, and them seem pretty good to me! Noel: 5D now Fatal Counters XI. Optic Barrel (236A/B) can now be dash-canceled Chamber Shot (236C) is now easier to use? I guess that's referring to its comboability or something?

Are they going to put out notes for the rest, or is this just a partially translated list SoWL? Glad to FINALLY hear some Noel changes, but I'd like to see some stuff on Terumi!

Yikes! If the Zato Master is just 4th, I'd hate to see who the other three above him are!

Here's a video of Kazunoko playing MINAZUKI online vs. a Teddie, a Mitsuru, a Junpei, a Yu and a Shadow Labrys, courtesy of KAO TV! I'm not sure how to timestamp these matches or I would. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipb11Ex8SnxY&list=UUrpludzlFi0REn8HIVcC0Qsg.

The more I hear, the more excited I get! It's gonna be a LONG month. Adachi seems like he'll be REALLY fun, and annoying to deal with as well. Hopefully that stream gets archived or uploaded to Youtube, because I'd love to see him finally in capable hands. I saw the demo from yesterday, but how he is he looking on the mobility front? The stubby normals worry me a bit, but Azrael seems to manage that problem just fine in BBCP, so maybe he'll be alright? As a Liz player, it's nice to see another that enjoys Ailments so much. Thanks for the colors as well Chickzama. Which number is the GG color again? Can't seem to find it.

So, as someone who started from CSI and never touched CT, this is a bad thing? I was hoping to hold on to my cautious optimism.

Well, I know this is all in flux, but depending upon how bad JD and J2D pushback is, compared to the improved travel distance of Gustav Buster, this might not be so bad, especially with Carl, Kokonoe, and Litchi taking some seemingly big hits. I hate that they're away so many combos though, both from us and everyone else. But we'll see how the dice roll in the end I suppose.

Can't say I frequent it either, and that honestly surprises me. Personally, I'm 100% happy with 1.1 Azrael as he is now, and outside of a visual gauge to remind me when I had Phalanx Cannon Stocks, I didn't really want any buffs, and was bracing myself for HUGE damage nerfs. Loosing the "DP" effect of Growler may hurt a bit, but I'm willing to keep my head on my shoulders until I see it in action. Plus, it's not like it couldn't be baited and punished anyway. His Backdash is so far untouched, and Sentinel Dump is also fully preserved. Assuming all of this stuff even sticks with him, I honestly feel like that's a small price I'm VERY willing to pay in exchange for being able to immediately fire off Stocks after Growler absorption. I'll take anything I can get against the Murakumo Army, despite my intention to return there when Lambda drops, and we don't know how wallstick on Leopard Launcher will impact him, though I'd imagine that's just for the corner, which will give him more consistent combos. Don't really see what ANY Azrael player has to complain about at this point, at least until we know more and get a final changelog, which won't be for a good while. He seems like he's getting better to me.

Know that I'm back home and have my wits about me, I'd like some clarification on something, Kiinkuli. We you say Kansai players think he can deal with "Fuzzy Jump BS," are we talking about traditional Fuzzy Guard setups here in the traditional sense or something else? Would you mind giving an example of something like that please?
