ArcSys sure has succeeded in making this seem complicated. Just opened Amazon product page outright says Es is a DLC character.

That's just Shimazaki using a funny name for his player card...

No, she doesn't seem to be a grappler. Famitsu highlights Mika's pure strength. These are the details written in the article:

ArcSys explained during the pre-launch stream that a character using the Eclipse color might be a little difficult to recognize in some of the more darker stages, so it's disabled in Ranked Matches to ensure fairness.

Does this go to here? Was just scrolling through jbbs and noticed this... So JP people apparently have the game already. There was also a comment that Story Mode is 5 Episodes long and it apparently ends with a cliffhanger that makes you go "Seriously!?"

Those letters on the ground of Es' stage have me all curious... What does that text mean? Why even write on the ground? All I can make out is "SSARY HOT".

This weeks Famitsu revealed that an additional Story Scenario will be distributed as free DLC sometime after the game's release. It was written at the bottom of the last page of the article.

" That's a 'cliched phrase'... This guy sure is amusing. We have a rope around your neck. Just accept your defeat gracefully, you big criminal." Situation is pretty much reverse of what you suggested. Ragna is in the jail because everyone's memories are a mess. (Pretty sure they are recapping the arcade mode stuff in Story Mode...)

No comments about that. Before the end of last year, Narita said that "Lately I've been plotting that during the year 2016, we'll release a proper console version of 'that game' and hopefully announce a newish arcade game." The original comment clearly says that they aim to announce the new project within this year. The wording kind of suggests they probably won't release it this year, which again leads me to suspect that the announcement will be late this year. There have been some mistranslations which might suggest they plan to release both of them this year... but that unfortunately is not the case.

Amamiya Sora (OR) & Hasegawa Yume (NA) won the tournament. Kamone announced at the end up the tournament that they've been working on the console version since UNIst came out in the arcades. They've been really busy drawing art and writing the story. Now they are preparing to officially announce everything.

Official UNIst 2on2 tournament "Struggle Overture" has its finals tomorrow, but I don't really see many people talking about it... Anyway, the tournament will be streamed here https://www.twitch.tv/kagecchi Last chance qualifier starts at 1 PM Japanese time and the actual tournament begins at 7 PM. Already qualified teams include: (I hope the player names are correct. Tracking down some people using joke-and-reference-names is difficult... Still didn't find out who that Sawamura Eriri player actually is...) EDIT: Shimazaki (CH) & Yuubari (WA) won the last chance qualifier.

Oh, I didn't notice, but Haehyun's moveset is also out. COMMAND NORMALS 6K j.2K SPECIALS "Choudengan" 236 +S/HS (調伝丸) "Shi'inken" 623 +K (四寅剣) "Shi'inken - Long Hold" Hold 623+K (四寅剣・長押し) "Shi'inken - Back Follow-up" Hold 623+K and then input 1/4/7 (四寅剣・後ろ派生) "Hayabusa Otoshi" 214 +K [Can be held] (隼落とし) "Hayabusa Otoshi - Back Follow-up" Hold 4K after inputting 214+K (隼落とし・後ろ派生) "Aerial Hayabusa Otoshi" j.214+K (空中隼落とし) OVERDRIVES "Arahan Sanzenshou" 236236+HS [Can be held] (阿羅漢三千掌) "Shinkun Choudengan" 236236+S (神弓・調伝丸) INSTANT KILL "Zengen Teppai" 236236+HS (全弦撤廃) Attack name meanings: Choudengan = Tune Transmitting Circle Shi'inken = Four Tiger Fist Hayabusa Otoshi = Falcon Drop Arahan Sanzenshou = Arhat Three Thousand Palms Shinkun Choudengan = Heavenly Bow: Tune Transmitting Circle Zengen Teppai = All Chord Abolition

Suzaku will probably post more accurate Germany later, but this is a quick translation of Raven's moveset for those interested. COMMAND NORMALS 4P j.2K SPECIALS "Schmerz Berg" 236 +P (シュメルツ・ベルク) "Gebrechlich Licht" j.236 +P/K (ケブレヒリヒ・リヒト) "Grausam Impuls" 236 +S [Air OK] (グラオザーム・インブルス) "Schjerf Kugel" 236 +HS [Air OK] (シャルフ・クーゲル) "I Want It Here" 214 +K [Long hold available] (ここにされたい) "Wachen Zweig" 63214 +S/HS (バッケン・ツヴァイク) OVERDRIVES "Getreuerr" "214214 +HS (ゲルトライヤー) "Verzwei Felt" 632146 +S [Air OK] (フェアツヴァイ・フェルト) INSTANT KILL "Sehnsucht" 236236 +HS (ゼーンズフト)

Magazine leaks say that, "Raven's characteristic is the long reach of his attacks. However, his biggest feature is that by taking damage during his special attack 'Hit me there' accumulates a special meter. That meter can be used to boost his other attacks. Health management will be more crucial than with other characters." (Not really sure how to translate ここにされたい well enough, so that the message gets across..."I wish you'd hit me there" is just too long...) EDIT: Screenshot in lower right part seems to shows a Special called "Schmelz Berg" (シュメルツ・ベルク) which was one of Raven's moves in GG2. Other moves seem like new ones based on what you can make out of the names in this low quality preview picture. Move names are: Gerd Leier (ゲルトライヤー) Backen Zweig (バッケン・ツヴァイク) Schmelz Berg (シュメルツ・ベルク) And then there's a picture of his airdash (空中ダッシュ) EDIT: Fixed a typo. Thanks, Tokkan.

The article also says "Revelator introduces 6 new characters " (which are Johnny, Jack-O, Jam, Kum, Dizzy, ???) Other network avatars in the picture seem to be playable characters (May, Sol, Jack-O & Jam can be seen), so this certaily raises the possibility of playable Raven... 3D Lobbies certainly look amazing. I'll be doing Fishing all day in those...

Summit of BlazBlue is a national tournament (?) organized by Shinjuku Sportsland and sponsored by ArcSys. They have a bunch of qualifiers at other arcades and finals take place at Shinjuku. Anyways... I take it that both Zedar and Tokkan watched the test broadcast, but didn't bother to mention what Mori talked during the stream. He said that BBCF still has something left that requires testing. Also, the opening movie for the game isn't complete yet, so they can't show it.

UNI[st] 3.01 is coming to arcades on September 8th CHANGELIST Character Specific Changes: Fixed the phenomenon where the webs set up by Byakuya's "Should I plant it around here?" didn't disappear when they were attacked Fixed the phenomenon where the webs set up by Byakuya's "Should I plant it around here?" dealt chip damage even when they were blocked using the Shield. Fixed the phenomenon where Phonon's EX "Yuudou Ascend" animation would play out if you cancelled the attack on hit and used another move. Fixed the phenomenon where Vatista's "Sidereus Fragmentum" dealt more hits than normally when they were detonated. Fixed the phenomenon where Seth's "Fastfall follow-up move" messed the directions where the moves Seth used after it could be blocked from. Fixed the phenomenon where Waldstein's "Assault" had his hurtbox the same as during a normal jump. Fixed the phenomenon where Chaos' "Breathe Out" couldn't be cancelled to other special moves on hit. Other Fixes: Other minor fixes and improved operation stability.

All that I know is that Revelator has a self-adjusting difficulty. These icons appear after the battle to indicate that the difficulty is increasing. Victory screen is also the only place to confirm your current game difficulty. The main problem Devdan seems to have is that the difficulty doesn't seem to reset when you switch a character... which definitely sounds like bad game designing. ...I'm not sure why people are so hostile towards him when he's just curious about this change?

Nice. Jack-O's Instant Kill is called "I Want Out" (アイウォントアウト) which is a reference to a song by Helloween. Haven't seen yet if Johnny's IK still has the same old name or not...

No one posted BBCF news? Mori confirmed at ArcRevo that a nation-wide loketest will be held between August 28th-30th Arcade locations will be revealed later.

Here's what the tournament looks like. I also added pictures of the players most used characters (thanks, Needle) to give a better picture what character are in the tournament.

I'll share what I know of this matter... I haven't read anyone confirming that "hyouri" is totally gone, but comments say that it's more difficult to do now. Apparently the side switching happens a little later now. Meaning: Even if the opponent crosses over, you now have more time to block while still facing forward.

https://twitter.com/straycats41 This profile has pictures of Johnny's and Jack-O's additional colors from the Player's Guild Site.

Raven apparently has a full polygon model and can be seen moving around during Episode Mode cutscenes. Just like Sin was in the last game... Haven't seen any confirmations who the Episode Mode final boss actually is, but it doesn't sound like he's the one... https://twitter.com/hiroki_yukari/status/626601174179840004 Apparently, Raven brings some sort of hint to bring back Elphelt.

Jack-O' now has actual names for her specials. Here's what the movelist looks like. SPECIALS Dust Attack (5D) Remove the Chain of Chiron (j.5D) Elysion Driver (6D | Air OK) Hunger of Dopros (4D | Air OK) Zest (2D | Air OK) Set a Ghost (22P/K/S) Pick up a Ghost (2P Near a Ghost) - Set (2P/K/S) - Put Away (4P/K/S) - Throw (5P/K/S) Organ Deployment (22HS) - Retrive All Ghosts (P) - Clock Up (K) - Explosion (S) - Aegis Field (HS) - Cancel (D) OVERDRIVE Calvados (214+S OR D | Air OK) Forever Elysion Driver (360 + P | Air OK)
