    No it woudn't. People don't seem to realize just how short Jubei is since story mode sprites upscale the short characters. Fully upright Jubei is only 4'04" while Es is 4'89" and that's before including the hitbox boost her giant question mark hair gives her. Even the sheathed sword sticking out from the top of his head wouldn't make up the difference. And this is just looking at Jubei from neutral position. CF gave him a story sprite for fighting so we know have an idea of what his movement would look like. Notice how he's crouched and holds his swords downwards and that's when he doesn't have it in his mouth. Unless he jumps in every attack he will still be hitting very low.

    For one, that's not a custom battle sprite for him, that was them being lazy. It's just cut out from the CG where he was defending a downed Nine. He's been shown holding is swords upright with his hands most of the time since CP. The size his swords are drawn tends to vary a lot (it's inconsistent like many things in BlazBlue), but it should be enough to make it to where his hurtbox isn't TOO small. If we're going off of his height from the sprites he already has in the game, his swords are the perfect size.

    The fact that they bothered to change his preferred stance to that instead of just holding it in his mouth all the time like the first two games shows that they at least took steps to try and make him work. Who knows if it'll actually play out.

    While we're on the subject of Jubei, why does Azrael get excited over his Sekigan in the CSS voice clips? As far as I understand that was just Terumi vision.

    Good for you but there are people who want to play at a competitive level and adding a character that broke your combos isnt doing any good to the competitive scene of the game.

    Standing upright with his swords he would have a hurtbox roughly the same size as Es, if not a bit taller. You're acting like the dude's three feet tall.

    All they said is that if they were going to implement him, they'd need something to pad out his height like the other short characters in the game.

    Maybe they will announce something in the fighting game awards tournament.

    Well, Sekine was the one teasing a reveal for this event. He's been working on Xrd, so what he was referring to is probably related to GG.

    I'm hoping there's a BlazBlue announcement to go with, though.

    You're not wrong, but I was talking about true post-launch content and not stuff that was announced and (mostly) ready pre-release.

    Anyways, I'm pretty excited for the new radio show episode. Have they done reveals/teases there before?

    Exactly what i'm worried about. We've heard nothing about DLC characters beyond Mai except for the fact that they're planning some, and they missed several big chances to show them off, or at least do a teaser of some form. It's just been radio silence. No Unlimited Mars either.

    There's a new BB Radio thing in a week iirc

    We'd probably get an announcement there, the first new DLC character would probably have to be announced this month hopefully

    Wonder if it'd actually be Jubei. Is there anywhere to discuss what kind of playstyles the potential DLC characters could have? The news thread doesn't feel like the best place for that.

    At least you know what Jubei looks like, and what his story is. I don't even know what Warrant Officer Ellen Nelson looks like, or why she exists (considering they specifically say there are no warrant officers in the NOL in one of the Teach me Miss Litchi segments). Why do I even want this character? I don't know.

    You know what, forget it, I'm with Jubei-avatar guy. Put Meifang in the game, we need more female characters with no pants.

    I never said I wanted her. Hype dog is priority number 1.

    Histrionics? I'm not acting, though that does make me wonder if i'd be a good actor. But, it's as much for me as it is for my cause; if I give up, that's the end. Nothing happens. And if I stop using my voice for what I want, i'm telling ASW that it's ok if they don't add Jubei and that it's acceptable, and that's something I can't do. I truly don't aim to irritate anyone, but, no one else is speaking for Jubei, so I will keep the flag flying as the last bastion, regardless of who has what feelings towards or about me.

    The problem is that this is in a news thread, and not elsewhere. Perhaps making a Central Fiction DLC speculation thread that covers all of these things would work a bit better for that? It's not really a flag you need to fly though, not with the recent leaks. All you need to do is wait.

    I think your hatred of Mori is also misplaced, at the very least it seems like he's attempted to get the character working, and had plans for him to be in at some point, even if it didn't work out. He's tried. With how the character is, implementing him isn't particularly easy. I'm sure it can be done, but I'm not too surprised at how long it's taken. Have you considered that maybe complications lead to Jubei needing more time in the oven than the others?

    Sorry to interfere here and all, but... Es is 149 cm, while Jubei is 123 cm. Even Carl and Platinum aren't that short (144 cm and 142 cm, respectively) And they still needing something to make their hitbox bigger. I guess even if Jubei gets "taller" without changing his appearence and using his sword to high up his hitbox, it may not be sufficient enough to do the trick.

    I know, I was just saying his swords and tail could probably get it pretty close to the same height as Es. As long as he holds them upright, I guess.

    Could also have Nine piggyback riding on him and give him a top hat.

    If Jubei got added and ended up being the Yoda or the Neco Arc of Blazblue then he would be an outright detriment to the game. It's pretty obvious that Jubei has been skipped 35 times already precisely because ArcSys can't figure out how to make him work within the game due to his small size and they don't want to drastically alter his appearance in order to add him to the roster.

    By the way, how would you feel if Jubei got added with a tiny hitbox and almost every BB fan ended up hating him as a result?

    I don't think it would be quite that extreme with him fighting standing upright CP onwards. He'd be a bit shorter, but let's not act like the game doesn't already have a bunch of character specific combos. The height difference between him and Es could pretty easily get worked around. I'd imagine he would have lower HP too.

    This is a news thread though, not speculation, so I'll stop here. This really should be dropped unless there's more things that surface pointing to him being playable.

    You act like you're married to the furball.

    No, that's me.

    But really, there's no use complaining, especially right now. If anything you should be happy that more DLC characters are confirmed (adding to the already massive roster with some great newcomers like Susan), and that Jubei's sound files were found in the game already. His chances are higher than ANYONE ELSE right now.

    It's been about eight years, what's a few more months for an actual confirmation? I'd kinda get it if they just announced someone like Meifang or whatever, but that hasn't happened yet. Even then, if they're doing multiple DLC characters he'd basically get in through the process of elimination.

    I expected anything other than nothing. Arc Revo is big for them, so I figured they'd have something to show. I expected them to say something about whether they're doing DLC characters or not. I was hoping for Jubei, or ASW to possibly announce plans to port Arcana Heart 3 Six Stars, UNIST, or maybe Daemon Bride getring a console port finally.Anything would have been better than silence.

    He was never going to get announced before Mai is out. Maybe in November/December.

    ArcSys like to stagger their announcements and releases, which makes sense since that way people less likely to overlook some of them. If Jubei does gets added I'm extremely doubtful that they'll announce him before Mai is out, since that would steal her thunder.

    Yeah, agreed. We're just now learning how she really works, she needs some time in the spotlight. Have they ever revealed any BB characters at an event to begin with? From what I've seen they just do those announcements whenever they feel like it, or through something like Famitsu.
