After Celica was added in CPEX, any character not Jubei being added to Blazblue's playable characters roster doesn't surprise me anymore...

Smh, that option select lol.

@Zouf I'd say it's about as fast as average 5A/2A normals, which is like 5-6 frames start up for the 4X moves nine has.

It's different for each character, but "skillful actions" such as blocking well, teching throws, landing hits, anti airing, opening somebody up with mix ups, ect. Reward active flow points until you get it. "Attention" is shown right before you get it.

Yeah, I agree. We all know how much Arcsys loves their DLC, especially DLC characters lol.

Alright, so Kagura, Kokonoe and Terumi were the CP console exclusives at the time. I still think there is going to be another character added at some point.

7 characters were added for CSEX to CP 1.0, and Kagura, Izayoi, Kokonoe, and Terumi were all console exclusives at the time (correct me if I am wrong). I doubt Es is the last character to join the roster.

Nine's 4X normals have fast start up, you just don't see them normally other then 4A (I believe that's water) after Crimson raider for the 3 ice element freeze combo.

Lol imagine Azrael with Nine's dashes XD

To my knowledge, if she double dashes, the second dash has full invul and you can't hit her out of it. Seems pretty annoying.

I agree with everything you said, except Nine being momentum based. You are 100% correct that she needs spells to win, as that is the core of her gameplay, but when I think momentum based I think Kagura would be the best example as such. He can wreck people hard with his momentum, but he can get wrecked just AS hard by the opponent getting out of his pressure, OR not being to start his momentum to begin with. Azrael and Bullet is another example of this but I think Kagura is the best example of such. Well, with Nine, it is TRUE that her momentum is powerful, to say she is based off of it is kind of a stretch. I have seen nine players who lose their momentum in some way shape or form, but due to her neutral, they play safe and wait for the next chance to get in on the opponent. However Like you said her approach isn't easy at all and usage of her normals and mobility in neutral is what separates the amazing Nine players from the rest. This is definitely true. I just don't think Nine BASED off of the momentum she gets, I just think that is one of her advantages as a character. I would honestly say Nine and Arakune are around the same level of strength though, either way however those 2 characters are really strong at the moment.

It is highly improbable for them to patch the game before console release, so yes we will deal with full power... Well everything. Have fun playing Arakune while I'm just chilling with Nu, Terumi and Bullet lol.
