Surf Report post Posted July 16, 2014 All I can think is that it's like Blackhole and she's doing the animation for awhile. So they made Hakumen IAD over her head and he's hopping towards her now. As for Minerva, I can only think she switches the sides shes facing depending on where the opponent is. Thinking that way has the image make sense. But who knows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SQNR Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Weird. Whys Minerva facing the opposite direction from Hakumen and Celica. And why the hell is Hakumen behind Celica like that It seems reasonable to assume that the super targets Minerva so perhaps Celica just turns toward Minerva when performing the super as part of the animation. Who knows though, perhaps Minerva is the character you control and Celica is the "puppet." Both would explain the characters' positioning, though the latter might not be very probable.

Antaiseito Report post Posted July 16, 2014 So, Nu loses mode change according to this thread http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/topic/8912-cp-11-%CE%BB-11-speculation-thread/?view=getnewpost ? Ok, hype for "new" Lamda put back on ice .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White Man Report post Posted July 16, 2014 So does Nu not having mode change anymore mean there's gonna be a balance patch? To the best of my recollection, ASW has never released a new version of a game in arcades without rebalancing it. So I'd say folks with CT mains will likely be able to enjoy relearning their characters for a 7th time, yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumm-Ra Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Hopefully there will be a slight change in Lambchops' design 'sides colors because otherwise that'd be lazy as fuck. Inb4 one has a halo and the other doesnt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VermilionBird Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Welp, I love the idea of playable Celica. Lambda? Uhhm. She's dead? Why bring back a deceased character for no reason? Honestly, Im so sick of having Lambda shoved down my throat. Hazama d'un goofed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luminos564 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Speaking of Celica, I really do hope she's made a little easier to control. I never had luck with the previous puppet characters, especially Carl. I dunno what it is, but I could never get a handle on them for some reason. Celica is the 2nd one to catch my interest since Relius so I kinda do want to give her a shot. I'm not asking for Baby's 1st Puppeteer, but just a little something that makes her distinct mechanically from Carl and Relius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airk Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Are you talking about Japan? because Extend sold better than CT and as much as CS only on PS3, CSII is the update that sold worst than the original game. I think they have enough stuff to make CP Extend, 2 new characters, the VITA CP beach scenario, throw there Celica and lambda extra scenario and maybe a new game mode and they can release it on disc, my opinion. How can CS2 have sold "worst than the original game" when it wasn't even available for purchase? :P CS2 was only buyable on like, the 3DS and PSP or something. For everyone else it was "Get CS1 and download the free update, but you'll need to buy the DLC characters if you want them." That's not remotely a comparable sales model. Anyway, I'm FINE if they want to release a CP Extend, but they should do it RIGHT; Sell a disc with all the content on it for like $35 or $40. But also release a patch to make existing copies of CP "forward compatible" with it, and allow CP owners to pay for the new characters as DLC if they want. This is the best of both worlds - new players can get the "whole game" for a reasonable price, and existing players don't feel screwed out of another $40 to stay current.

TekkamanArk Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Damn, I was hoping it was all fake. Though the characters select changed colors, so, I can still hope it's an Extend on consoles and has a couple more characters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokkan Report post Posted July 16, 2014 They changed the character select screen colours... so this is going to be the REAL CP2? CP1.1 only had more subtle changes. Also, that positioning for the slots technically infringes on the real estate of the arcade button settings... perhaps they'll be redesigning that? Or better yet, having it selectable on character selection like in GGXrd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VermilionBird Report post Posted July 16, 2014 If the character select screen has changed, Im gonna hazard a guess at this being like an Extend. If that is true, then Celica and Lambda probably aren't the only characters we should be expecting to be playable in the near future. On another note, any scans of the pages of Lambda? Nice to see Celica but I still want to see the other one ;-; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TD Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Two female characters have been introduced. A male character is coming next, probably a kitty. Just look at the order every three characters have been introduced on this game. Either two females one male or two males and one female. It isn't 100 percent, they might not introduce jubei. They may not introduce anyone. But it would be safe to assume that if they did it would be a male character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sourenga Report post Posted July 16, 2014 Oh, now that I think about it. Character Select has changed colors, so it's pretty suspicious that none of the screenshots in that article show the health or heat gauge. Are they going to be recolored as well...?
