A bit of clarification on the "Drive Qualia" thing. The VGMdb page for Song Interlude II was updated, saying that it's Kokonoe's theme with vocals from Chie Matsura, her voice actress.
Actually according to Song Interlude 1 it's Toshihiro Kajihara on guitar now. He did the guitar work for all of the Extend songs, so it's safe to assume he is doing them for CP as well.
Also, Plastic Night II sounds fucking amazing.
Gluttony Fang II is certainly on par with the original. Feels like they took out the "hostile" feel from the middle, and made it sound more classy. They split all of the sinister sounding stuff from this song and put it into Endless Despair II.
Sword of Doom II is just fan-fucking-tastic all around. Very well done re-arrangement.
After listening to the full version of Marionette Purple II, I officially no longer dislike it.
Still don't think it's better than the original version, though.
To measure the awesomeness of Terumi, you have to go online and test how long it takes for you to get a ragequit when you combo into Astral off of a normal.
BTW he is 11 on that scale.
If memory serves, Mike Z quit BB after EVO. He was apparently quoted as saying he's tired of playing a series where his main is constantly low tier.
Plus he's occupied with Skullgirls now.
