Blade

Some things I wanna ask: Trigger Crush: they said it works after certain moves, I assume that means only certain normals have it, so players will eventually be able to guess when it may come, kinda like those chargeable stun moves in SF4? But, what if Trigger Crush actually hits a non-blocking player? What kind of hit properties does it have or does it vary, or maybe just crumple-stun? Also, regarding this Overdrive System: I hear you have to be in neutral to perform it...but is that really true? I mean, most Ragna players would cancel in to Blood Kain mid-combo as part of how he plays, I can't picture doing a completely unsafe raw Blood Kain Idea OD unless it were Okizeme or after a good Fatal Counter. Any more information would help.

This game is called Chrono Phantasma...if that means players have a move that can "stop time" (Think "Concentration One/Mu no Kyouchi" in SS games), that would be messed up. ZA WORUDO, TOKI WO TOMARE!

I swear, no one appreciated #R characters in Slash. Because easy combos are nice to have?????? CT Rachel would pwn everyone and you know it!!!

What I'm actually hoping for is something like what SF Alpha 3 had...where you could pick CT, CS, or CP versions of characters for everyone.

Only SIX people mentioned Haku=men...sigh... (even his voice appears to have changed...or maybe it was a fill-in?) Well, no matter what changes occur for the cast, I'm betting he'll get next to zilch changed and he and Ragna will STILL be A-Tier at best (6B bounce will be a nice classic buff for sure). Chances are there will be more DLC characters this time around too (assuming they're going to add Phantom and Jubei at least, since the last game hinted at their appearances), or at least DLC in general (maybe Tomokazu Sugita will get to be an announcer?) Nice to know Mori's doing the art again, his style was always smoother. And of course, Black Onslaught music (in screenshot) implies Unlimited Mode will return. I look forward to any character changes made, since they tend to evolve over time, with even SOME minor balance between Unlims at least. And you just know Amane is gettin' YAMI NI KUWAWERO'd (trap lovers can hate me all you want :P ). As for Azrael...hmm...seems like a Grappler like Tager, but with a bit more control over his throws...maybe throw-based combos? (think: Tekken's King?) Or maybe he's like Alex from 3rd Strike? I hope they make Hazama's combos a little easier. As for Lambda, Mu, Nu, and Xi (Kai, ξ)/(okay Amaterasu?)...chances are they'll be in...kinda like how Generations Mode worked in GGXX Slash with #Reload characters, so probably Noel will have her old costume as an option...though I do believe her new outfit is VERY cute. And if they can redesign Noel...they'll probably give Ragna his "Bloodedge" outfit (hey, why not?), and Jin some kindof dressdown version of his outfit from the novels maybe? Or Haku=Jin? In addition, I assume they're going to do a summary Story mode of Continuum Shift for this run too, based on what Rachel went over in the trailer. I will only say one thing more: this better be the last BlazBlue...hopefully once the "Ragna Arc" is done they'll finally get around to working on closing the Guilty Gear series (or at least rebooting it...it's been so long. ) I won't be hype for this until I get a PS3 or Vita though...

Prices go down eventually, lol

So is Continuum Shift Extend...but at least on THAT disc you get a full roster.

HEY! If there were more characters in the world with SWORDS then I think we'd have more diversity. And yes, there ARE different sword styles.

Yeahhhhp...not buying this until they put it on a single Blue-Ray.

This is just a heads-up post in case you missed anything. Over time, I am writing extensive bios for everybody. I tried to explain Axl and Dizzy recently as well. And here's some extensive info on P.W.A.B. too. Ask me something if you want to learn more.

Well...I got a lot of positive feedback from it, so I might as well post it here: Immortality (Don't blame me if you cry.)

Still no screenshots of Raiden yet. :/

...Hahah...DmC reminds me of those fanfics where the author inserts himself...god...pathetic.

It's not your fault Tempest. But a FG collector like me respects all the FGs equally so...none o' this hate, guys. Love and Peace.

Good find, Vulcan, I will try later!

Why people gotta bring drama and hate in to UMvC3 threads from other games all the time?

OMG RAIDEN!! This better happen with the HF-Blade...cuz I will MAIN HIM.

Assuming I get a new PS3 in a year or two, can someone help me unlock Silver Strider? :/

People have compared the Defense Bar to SSFIV's Revenge Meter...but I'm not so sure...seems more like a suped up Alpha Counter to me.

Whatever Kyosuke...haters gonna hate. But Saint Seiya games are always cool in my book. As for DIMPS...they just help devs out from time to time...they don't do everything. If you got anything to whine about, whine at Bandai-Namco.

It's just my honest opinion...but DIMPs has yet to disappoint (DBZ and Saint Seiya come to mind). Heck, one of the devs in Dimps invented Street Fighter, so you can't really go wrong with that.

I probably won't be hype for this game until Cloud Strife shows up.

If this got a PS3 console port, I might get it. I definitely liked the original. On a related note, just how many more games are still under Sega's grasp that need to be freed?

"That guy really believes in this stuff?!" "Let's see...where will they pop out from next...!" "I guess only now's the time!?" "Fufuun...it's been a long time since this arm of mine roared!" ------- Edit: To Mods: Can you move these entries to a generic Arc System Works news thread?

I'm sorry, but is there an easier way to type your username...I don't want to type "autism". (Though I guess I already did.)
