It sounded more to me like Siegfried from Soul Calibur. Enter stance and using the drive buttons executes a special stance attack that puts you in a different stance, etc etc. Guess we have no better choice than to actually wait for some more solid info on it

It alleviates that issue, but it brings a separate one that also throws doubt on ranking. Teh lagz.

From the sound of the Xrd trailer, it's still way in development. I wouldn't expect that game out any time soon. It's probably CP and that VN they keep hammering on about.

To be fair though, unless they remake Ragna into needing to grope women to recharge his Blazblue, it can't be too bad. I mean, aside from maybe some camera angles and a mandatory scene of litchi dressing Noel up, BB isn't exactly that ecchi.

Considering Noel is a clone of his sister, it at least makes a bit of sense for female jin to look remotely like that. Now the May one...... :V

Actually, Brice lost to Hazama, another Tager player later managed to get to Ragna (i think it was AXIS) and lost to him.

She is still evil at first. After "something" happens, she turns back to being good. It isn't explained really. Every time she appears in others' modes (Jin), she's evil. Then you pick her and BAM she's good. Power of love.

OD duration depends on your health. The lower, the longer it lasts.

What?

Well, in the context of Chrono Trigger, you kind of visit this timeline in the future, showing a devastated post apocalyptic land. But then again, there's different ways to implement time travel. Chrono Trigger chose the one without altering timelines, with a single thread of time, where traveling to the past simply altered the future completely. No parallel timelines, no alternate dimensions, sht just changed. Maybe this is why it made sense, because it didn't have its head THAT far up its ass :V

Don't lose hope guys, there's a coloseum stage, there's always chance the imperator gets bored and challenges the good guys to a tournament for the fate of the world.

Valkenhayn refers to himself as beastkin in someone's CS story (his own I think). When someone remarks on his still being alive, he comments (out loud or mentally) that it's surprising that someone doesn't know about beastkins' longevity. Some beastkin may have been made for the war aside from the kaka clan, but it's pretty clear that beastkin have lived since way before that, probably since forever.

What's with the sudden resurgence of the ragna half vampire thing? Ragna was only bit once, mentioned by Rachel who refers to the occasion as a huge mistake. Does not happen in any of the other loops. Unless sht got retconned in the past couple weeks and I'm unaware of it.

Because some part of the story has to make sense

Impossible, makes too much sense

was it? If someone confirmed it then my bad. But in any case, we still have no clue about the OST release

Not to mention that article some time back that mentioned something big coming on february. Could also be it. Remember? The one someone accidentally mistranslated as console release in february and this thread exploded until someone corrected it? good times But ya, no real concrete news yet. Just speculation of what mistranslated articles and upcoming announcements may be about.

I was under the impression you needed the 4 FRKZ seals to use it. My bad. Unless it actually is and you misunderstood me to mean the OD, in which case, sorry I wasn't clear enough, meant the seals, not the OD.

Say, is there any way to not get hit by Bang's new super? the FRKZ one. Or is it free damage for 50 heat once u get all 4 seals? Never seen it miss :V

Im pretty damn sure Nago's original form is a cat, a big fat "plushy" cat (the form he takes in the rachel intro where she walks in through a heart shaped door and then uses him as steps). I have no idea where, but I'm fairly certain its mentioned that he's a cat.

Well, Valk is pretty much duty bound to serve the Alucards, and I think Gii and Nago are her familiars (thus bound by magic or whatnot). But tbh, I do think they like her. No matter how duty-bound he may be, Valk's reactions involving Rachel seem pretty damn genuine to me.

All we know is that Mori is still writing the story.

I don't mean I'm disappointed in it's usefulness. It's definitely useful and way better than gold burst. I'm disappointed at the lack of progress in finding great stuff to do with it. We don't really have any too cool tricks with the improved move properties yet really. I just figured with the changed move properties we would be seeing some interesting set-ups and combo paths, but we have very little of that. Meh, guess I just had much larger expectations that I should have :V

Am I the only one that's kinda disappointed at the progress of OD overall? I mean, what have we got so far? 1- Hype hakumen combos 2- Free meter for some resource characters. and that's kinda it. All I see it used other than that is to power up a finishing DD. The couple times I've seen Jin try OD combos the enemy keeps teching in between. :/

Makes sense, you don't really know the value of what you have until you lose it. Jin may care for Tsubaki in his own way, but Hakumen's behavior just shows how much Jin takes her for granted.
