If I'm not mistaken the most recent interviews say "stay tuned" on how to obtain Kagura, I take that as an implication of DLC, but even if he's not, they have to make the consumer ver enticing for a time, so I don't expect either to pop up in the arcade ver before Oct.

There's a relatively good chance that there won't be a "significant" title update to the arcade version until after the consumer release because of the new characters; they're being offered as pre-order DLC incentives, this incentive is ruined if they release the characters in arcade before hand. So there will probably be a "CP2" sometime after the release of the consumer. Much like how Mu wasn't immediately added to the arcade version of CS.

Whenever, just message me lol

That's the cool thing about VF, there's not really a "wrong" way to play a character, literally everybody plays everyone differently (look at RIP :\), really just get combos down and master whatever unique tick your character possesses, like Aoi had mad counters for nearly every attack, just familiarize yourself with them and practice recognizing what your enemy dishes out (also dem oki attacks). If you're looking for resources, there's a vid blog here, and forum here. It was amazing, I wasn't too surprised at the end results, but the road up there was awesome, next year we gotta go all the way! There's also a Euro circuit coming up soon too, it'll be nice to see how they roll.

The joke is the dream . . . ; -;7

Why not? While a small window, the limited text (within victory quotes and the endings) are all there is in the form of direct characterizations at that point. It's up to the creator to try and breathe as much of that personality as possible even with the most insignificant of exchanges. Also everything that is implied in her bio has been firmly established in her words (Hates skirts? check. Cares deeply for fallen comrades? check. One track mindset in her vendetta? check.) Nothing really contradictory. I can see where the concern is in her rather flat character, I'm actually afraid that the writers might end up using her more as a plot device than an actual character (using her to force exposition about Sector 7 and Kokonoe) but yeah, we'll see how she turns out (it seems like I like the more plain characters anyways )

Yall haytrz dun kno sheet bout COMMITMENT!

Ragna's isn't about revenge, it's about being the chosen one

I assume with the growing focus on Sector 7, she and Azrael are the "prologue" to that arc setup (as I assume this immediate NOL stuff will be "wrapping up" soon). After all, as Arc would put it; "what's Tager's purpose outside of being Kokonoe's bitch?" Also from what I'm reading thus far, I'm not disinterested in Bullet's story (I love me a good ol' fashion revenge plot, and the closest thing BB has to that is Carl ) it's the execution thus far. Bullet's way too 1D with her pursuit of Kokonoe.

You don't consider a biological clone of a sibling as being related to you? ; -;

I found it more humorous than "omg patch" In fact if this wasn't happening to Tsubaki, I probably never would've pointed out [as I probably wouldn't have seen that match lol]

I know, that's why I 'd and if we use the Way Back Machine.... = A=

You'll need a JPN PSN account, but that's the easy part~

lol, that'd be awesome to have Bullet take inspirations from others, sadly this will probably never happen... (BURNING JUTSU! .o.)

I'd be ok with a final confrontation like AH3, besting Ragnarok is fun, especially when trying to do the lamest things with each character. Some (wo)men just want to watch a mech burn...

I didn't ask for this... ; -;

Which is ironic since it took Extend the most of any other BB to get from Japan > North America It's hard to say what the factor is, but I'm sure they're well aware of the issues of Extend [which again, not breaking so much as it is jarring] and will be sure to double check their work [which again, was the only immediate problem, poor QA]

Actually they only handle things IN Japan, the standalone arcade ver was always produced and distributed by ARC (which is why other Asian territories never saw it until the PSN Asia release), PS3 ver was actually made possible due to Sony Computer Entertainment Asia producing the work (hence it being released first, and for a time exclusively, in the Asian territory PSN) and then ARC picked it up for distribution over the Japanese PSN, and of course the latest endeavor is New Signs of Catastrophe which is the fancy name for the NESSiCAxLive (a system only distributed in Japan) is also being produced by ARC. FKD want to release CC in North American territories but yeah, nothing on that front from ARC or a 3rd party.

One that stuck out to me, because it wasn't voiced, (thank god lol) but the scene in CT retcon with Ragna conversing with Litchi over Arakune, the text said; "Hello Cleopatria, Queen of De Nile" And that reeked of a really clumsy localization attempt, but thankfully wasn't recorded

Translation wasn't the issue with CSE [from what I've played, only finished the CT retcon thus far] it's the programming and QA (quality assurance) that are bad since sometimes the audio files clearly weren't branched right, some lines played multiple (separate) lines of dialogue, some vocal dialogue didn't match what was written, sometimes audio files would be of poorer quality, and the only real text flaw I've seen thus far was something like ";2wrgl:" appearing, but it only occurred once in CT retcon I believe. Translation is fine [although some of the liberties with the localization is just border line ludicrous] they just need to be sure and comb through it better next time.

They got like 30hrs of scenarios to write (contrary to what you might think, putting together a visual novel is alot of work), new characters to implement and balance (without the aide of location testing), a network mode to test out (complete with some new virtual hub), new tutorials to create, a secretly rumored mode, and who knows what else more. But it is true that this is the furthest from arcade > consumer, also when they give ballpark figures like that, I doubt most of them are realistic (either less or more in terms of actual development).

OMG, people playing my game ; w; And why would BOSS Ma-Ryan be banned? And no one uses Riannon anymore because she's no longer easy win anymore, ever since 1.5A, also Play Asia isn't bad, just kinda pricey, but AmiAmi no longer stocks AP.

Are you doing 214+B > 214+D immediately after the grab (like in the earliest possible windows) because if so the timing (or rather the moment when the interperator will properly register additional inputs) becomes a little stricter from my experience, but putting a slight delay in either 214+B or the follow up makes it much more lax to pull off. You have alot of time after the grab (like the opponent can leave your hands) to easily pull off 623+D and subsequent followups. Just give it a bit more practice, soon you'll be landing it in no time, and can mess around with doing it at the latest possible times = w=

All I see when I look at Kagura is Lelouch, and nothing will ever change that... I AM THE BLACK GALE'S ACE!
