I assume they want you to combo it with the super-armor mode before flying away to the opposite side of the screen... Or rather, they don't want it to be unexpectedly broken. I wish you could at least use it after the command grab, but that requires 150 Heat. People managed to find a use for Kokonoe's Golden Tager, so maybe they can do it with time stop, too.

Gotta say that I didn't expect Izanami to be so grappler-like in gameplay. Despite her projectiles and mobility, her range is rather short, and her gameplan comes down to staying in her opponent's face while covering the holes in her pressure with the Drive. Not to mention that she has two command grabs and a super-armor mode. Which means that the chances of me at least subbing her have just gone up.

Considering that her float normals seem to match her ground ones, I assume they retain most of their properties, including most of them being mids... Though scoring a low from a float would be silly.

Apparently, yeah.

Gotta second all the praise for her looks: I was impressed by Nine, but Izanami beats her easily. If I were a man who mains characters for a single move, I would main her for that facegrab super alone. The act 3 boss has great expectations to meet now.

At least we got some hi-res screenshots: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201601/21097573.html

You're a doujin kusoge. But really, the whole "Flying around and shooting stuff" does remind me of the shmup genre, even if it doesn't have to be Touhou, specifically. Nothing wrong about taking inspiration from new sources, as long as the result doesn't have any glaring issues. EDIT: So, who wanted some skulls?

I dunno, she looks pretty skinny to me.

That's because it's a preview of a magazine that's not coming out until tomorrow. We'll get it soon enough.

Considering that they're still in the minority, I see no problem here.

Pretty sure she's not a little girl, but an adult woman. That link with the release date news also has a short description of his/her fighting style, though it doesn't really say anything specific, just general descriptions like "Putting their weight into the attacks" and "Having a very Guilty Gear-ish combat style". Let's hope the article itself is more elaborate.

Interesting how she's the only character with kanji in her name. We do have the official translation of it, Hades, but don't be surprised when people call her Meiou Izanami, especially in Japanese videos. Her design is looking good, though stance switch characters are getting old. At least her DD is looking very flashy.

All I can hope for is that she's not yet another Murakumo unit.

On one hand, it's going to be too early for me to watch it. On the other hand, I don't have to worry about missing it due to work. Bring it.

Not to mention that the original Persona 4 came way before that.

I would just like to note that the site got much faster and more responsive recently. Whatever it is that you're doing, you're doing it right. Hope the other planned improvements won't take too long, either.

Those points translate to: - Landing hits - Using Heat Gauge - Blocking enemy overheads However, we still don't know the exact means of achieving Active Flow. Which is why EA is such a big deal.

The question I'm having right now is, if this is Saya, then who the hell is going to be the boss of act 3? Unless they split Saya and Izanami into two separate beings, I guess only Amaterasu would be a good enough last boss.

Lots of Nine info from Famitsu: http://www.famitsu.com/matome/bbcf/nine.html Man, her animations are so wonderful.

The very first leak said she has a buff that changes with her elements, but I'm still not sure what its effects are.

That's exactly what one should be saying after acting like an asshole towards all Dizzy, Jack-O and Jam fans.

Tager's AH turning him into a... Oh wait, you already listed "Koko's Nukes".

Which is kinda the point of these showcase max-damage combos.

Remember when Jubei was mentioned in the arcade mode?
