So that's the "pact" Azrael kept referring to.
I had a feeling he and Izanami would team up. Their personalities and philosophies go together quite well.
Oh. My. God.
Izanami is Nicovideo.
Ragna is a premium member, and the rest of the cast are standard members who need to upgrade, so Izanami is kicking them out.
Thanks to that poll, the names of the new Revelator songs have been revealed.
Johnny: Original Bet
Jack-O': Juno
Jam: Bao Babel Nose
Last Battle: Sky Should be High
Arcade Version ED: Freesia
The more revealing alts are fine. They don't affect the gameplay, so I don't give a shit.
As for the alts themselves, the only ones I'm not a fan of are Nash, Vega, and Dhalsim. Everything else looks great.
According to Combofiend, who is addressing everybody who are perplexed or unhappy with the nerfs, players "will be surprised by what the characters are like in the final game".
3rd beta has gone live, and Zangief and Dhalsim have been unlocked.
Thoughts
-Zangief is awful. Everything he does, Birdie does better. Losing Green Hand really hurt his threatening status on the ground.
-Dhalsim seems pretty good if you know how to control the vertical space. He lost nearly all of his horizontal control tools. I still think he will be very good in the right hands.
