No more parry loop, i'm actually pretty happy with the change. I never really liked it, but i had to learn it cause its THE best thing you can possibly do midscreen. Now maybe we'll see the cool midscreen stuff like 5d(lvl2) RC, 66236A D(lvl3), combo to corner. Basically, instead of parry looping midscreen, maxing out mana, and finishing the round with 2x overdrive, we'll get to see some RC's midcreen to get some damage in.
I honestly don't know what half the changes mean for most of hte chars, but lol at lamda. her swords are already a shadow of what v13 had, and i have enough trouble rembering to start them early enough in combos right now. and now they're even slower.
Finally, from the platinum screen, it seems terribly terribly unlikely she will be a zappa clone. But she IS short, so low hitboxes maybe? maybe zappa? Tho the giant hammer kinda ruins it, unless its raoh... man i want edguy.
