You can watch it, but it will kick you out after a while without a subscription.

Don't think so. But the quality might be worse and you might be kicked so you have to refresh the browser.

No, you don't need one.

Wait is it done ?

[Vulcan422]

Looks like it's over. Guess we gotta wait until tomorrow for the reveal.

On the plus side, they are playing Last Blade 2 now.

It says starts in 21 hours for me.  Where should I have been looking?

[gamester]

That's tomorrow's stream. The stream that ended not too long ago had no Nine footage.

Just Naoto and Hibiki gameplay, there was Ragna and Hazama as well in the matches they had.

Btw I noticed one of them said something about Rachel, but as I don't understand Japanese at all I wonder what was said near the end of the stream?

At long last, we've got every member of the Six Heroes in the game.

 

And I look forward to playing her.

I never got around to this, but damn fam, that's in horrible taste.

Also nice that her name is Nine, and not Phantom or Konoe A. Mercury. Kinda like that they kept it as the most used name.

Did people actually seriously consider her being called Konoe A. Mercury in game? But all the characters call her Nine. It would be like Jubei becoming playable except they call him Mitsuyoshi for whatever reason; it makes no sense.

I honestly expected them to call her Phantom tbh.

Except she's obviously not the Phantom (now), so that would be silly.

[BlackYakuzu94]

If you notice, she still has samples of the Phantom getup.

[TD]

This is what happens when people have multiple aliases

 

in this for though, she's almost always called nine, so.

[mAc Chaos]

Are people actually complaining about the name?

[TekkamanArk]

Looks like Nine has a stock system, kind of like Platinum. Could be interesting. I'd like to see more detailed gameplay notes beyond the screenshot we've seen.

Not okay. That's not okay at all. Everyone of current importance is in beyond Saya and possibly a version of Ragna where he's all crazy, so, I demand Jubei be playable by console release this time.

What does that mean?

It just looks like her standard wizardy robes to me.

I'm almost wondering if it will be something like a set of special moves stock different types of magic (maybe like fire, lightning, idk whatever), and then other moves use those spells up. It would be a pretty interesting dynamic to fight against and to use, and it's something that hasn't really been done before which is always nice to see with new characters.

This is what I've read on a Japanese forum claiming to have got early access to the magazine. The poster did post a photo of the magazine, but it was only up for 10 minutes so I missed it.
So what I'm trying to say is, take it with a pinch of salt. I hoped other sites would report about it, but they ignored BBCF completely.

Nine doesn't have a drive, instead she is using sorcery. She activates her magic with the D button.
Her Stock consists of two symbols, the left one is "Stock slot" and the right one are "Active slot".
When an attack hit or is being blocked, the active slot will change into the element of that attack.
A: Water
B: Wind
C: Fire
After that, by doing a certain command the element from the active slot will be put into the stock slot.
The stock slot can contain up to three elements, and depending on what elements that are in the stock slot the magic will change(for example Fire. Or Fire Fire Fire. Or Water Wind Fire).

There are some more info from that poster. Original Japanese text

Ok, that sounds cool as all hell. This excites me as someone who likes Dormammu in Marvel.

Translating the rest. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

The stock can hold maximum 3 type of magic. The combination of the stock will change what magic would appear when pressing D.
1 fire -> Coral of Wrath
3 fire -> Rubellite of Rage (appears like powered up version of Coral of Wrath)
1 water + 1 wind + 1 fire -> Nephrite of Demise
The magic can reach up to 20 combinations.
That fact made it seems like it would be most important to memorize the combination. Being aware of the icons during battle is also essential.
Other than magic, there's also the special moves and DD.
Some of them will change according to the slot.

Special Moves
Flack (Black?) Snatcher: get a buff according to the active slot.
Crimson Raider: rush/charge attack

Exceed Accel
Scarlet Vein: the arm of Hi no Kagutsuchi crushes the opponent.

Distortion Drive
Azurite Inferno: crucifix the opponent and shoots magic orbs at them. The damage will change according to the stock.

Last, she turns into a phantom when dashing.
