Which is weird since they're usually early about this stuff.

Just checked my Cdjapan status and mine's in shipping process right now. Guess I'll see it Thursday.

I'm guessing it's more useful for corner carry? And I wonder if vertical allows you to set up more lobelias off of a single wind before BBL.

I'm pretty sure you're right. Self version (Barrel Lotus) is shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HiW8v2qTgU&t=9m02s At first it looked like Barrel Lotus affected wind horizontally since that's what all the previous barrel lotus combos in the video did, but this was the only one that doesn't. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong

I don't think anyone really expects a VN adaptation to do a 1 to 1 translation of the events. People just want it presented in a good cohesive fashion that suits an anime format. Using Fate/Zero isn't a good example considering that's a prequel light novel made after(and that HF was helpful to know prior to reading F/Z anyway). So it's not a huge problem if the anime didn't cover something that wasn't even in the LN. That would've been a good example if people were complaining about that on a Phase Shift anime. There's still been good adaptations of LNs or VNs that left a lot of material out, so it's not fair to not let people want something more than just a cash in/ad.

There shouldn't be anything like that. Digital versions don't gimp or remove features from the retail versions.

I wonder if Sega publishing also means it gives FB the funds to do more loketests. Besides some tourneys for UNIB before release, I can't remember if it had a decent amount of loketests or not (if any). And I agree with Killey. Aquapazza gave this stiff/choppy look to it while the flow of this game just looks much more appealing to me.

The playable and supports are all listed in the first post.

Shizuo had one where he's smoking I think. Also yeah, lol. That Touma assist doing work on that super.

For point and assists, I'm liking the color choices for it. Shana gets her summer uniform with black hair and a Wirhelmina color palette. Kirino got an Ayase looking one kind of. Also saw Kamineko palette for Kuroneko.

Might as well bring this up in case it wasn't earlier, but from the Dengeki Bunko Festival event, apparently the producer is Ryutaro Nonaka and the director is Takaharu Terada. Same guys with the same roles in Valkyria Chronicles. Also a bit sad that UNIB didn't get to expand their roster much because of being busy with this. Makes sense why they only got Chaos finished and were happy getting help for Akatsuki so far.

Aksys announces that NA will be getting an LE of BBCP. http://www.aksysgames.com/2013/10/07/blazblue-chrono-phantasma-limited-edition-coming/ Contains a 40 page art book, OST, Rachel Nendroid, and an unannounced 4th item. No release date or price given.

Looks like Celty assist I think. http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/728/728761/

Game looks really legit. So glad that it's looking really fun from just that short trailer.

Also says that Touma and Kuroneko are support characters. So I guess we do have characters that are designated as assists.

I'm going to say a rep from Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei will make it in. Really popular iirc, and it's rumored that get an anime soon (probably revealed at the Dengeki Bunko event). Besides that, hopefully things don't get limited to just those getting an anime. But I won't be too surprised considering we can't expect a big roster either.

School stuff is eating up my weekend. I'll make time and see everyone next month when BBCP hits.

I kind of want to see Sega characters like from SW and VC because PxZ was kind of like a taste of what they'd look like in a fighter. At the same time though I want to see a decent roster of Dengeki Bunko. My money's still on no Sega characters and that Siliconera was making assumptions. Actually... they should just make a PxZ fighter someday.

Like another member said, you can't put funds directly via paypal like the US PSN allows. You're going to have to buy a JPN PSN card online. Nippon-Yasan might be the cheapest option last I checked. Takes like a day for them to email you your code.

Already said this on GAF but I'm not expecting Sega characters, just references. Dengeki Bunko vs Sega just refers to the collaboration project they've been doing for awhile this year, so it doesn't really mean they'll face each other judging by the other stuff they've done. And while I like a lot of heroines in Dengeki Bunko, I'm hoping for at least some males since there are a lot of good choices.

So with this, BBCP gets a total of 7 more characters than Extend. That's not too bad. Hopefully some footage shows up soon like at TGS since I want to see more of the console characters in action.

If she's really in, all the Kokonoe fans can finally stop complaining on how she's not in another game.

I'm pretty sure people know "No Mai, no buy" is a joke/meme... At least I seriously hope they do. lol
