A or B?
Also, does anyone know what's going on with the Central Fiction launch tournament? Is it going to be streamed? Who's attending?
>>316604949
B, makes more sense to me to have the drive button "isolated" from the rest
Central Fiction prelaunch tournament will be streamed on Nico. Don't know who's playing
>>316605287
Same. Left-to-right, then top-to-bottom is more natural to me.
I've never seen a BB arcade machine though. Are the buttons more splayed out? In any layout I've ever seen, in type A, A would be directly below B.
https://www.evernote.com/shard/s660/sh/59da1e74-6315-487f-a371-de9a1a98d538/d409386b8d969f2f49a1eaf90489f5eb
B has always been my go-to layout. It feels much much better.
Does there really need to be 2 BB threads?
Fuck you waifufags
>>316605609
>Are the buttons more splayed out?
not really I think
>>316605287
Link?
>>316606042
They have six buttons? Interesting.
>they don't play on stylish

BB is on Nesica cabs, which are shared for multiple games, that's probably why
>>316605958
The other one was started with a shitpost. This one should stay.
>>316607937
Oh, makes sense. I guess everything is running on the same hardware anyway.
I guess I'm in the mindset of good old specialized American arcade machines that were stupid expensive and made no many.
Thanks for the matches Lewd. I'd rather play Hakumen than Celica, but it seems like I'm just better as a Celica player. I'll work on some BnB's eventually.
Enough spaces for 40 characters total.
>>316608826
Corner ones and top one are sketch, but I'd like to be a perfect hexagon in the end.
I'm just glad that they've clearly designed it to accomodate more characters starting with CP, and we don't have the ugliness of CS's irregular character icons all over the fucking place.
>>316608826
plenty of room for Kajun
>>316609756
Weird way to spell Taro
>>316609756
>Kajun Faggot
>>316608826
Toya
Es
Raquel
Taro
Mai
Kajun
Jubei
Nine
Izanami
Izanagi (Ragna's 2nd form)
>>316610172
Izanagi No Ookami
>>316608826
10 characters?
Nine's a given but what about the other 9?
The only characters left are Mai,Kajun,Shiori,Taro,Akami, Jubei,Trinity, Izanami, Saya, Amaterasu and Alpha 1.
Izanami's so beyond everyone I doubt we'll ever her true form or actually fight her.
Jubei's small and his fighting pose looks even smaller.
Mai,Kajun,Shiori,Taro and Akame are all completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Saya, is a prisoneer in her own body
Trinity is dead.
Maybe we'll get new characters because it just can't be any of these besides Alpha 1
>>316610435
You dismiss everyone else and settle on Alpha, the "character" that doesn't even exist? What?
>>316610435
>all completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things
that didn't stop Bullet or Azrael
>>316610620
If anything, Mai, Kajun and Taro are more relevant than Bullet or Amane. They all know and are connected with much of the main cast, while Bullet was only linked to Tager's backstory and Amane was simply searching for a new catamite.
>>316610529
Because mori keeps cocking teasing her, for gods sake his last update on her had him writing out evil laughter.
>>316610620
Thing is, that this is the climax Why would any of the remix heart characters be in Kagutsuchi, none of them were implied to be special, nor did any of them have any azure powers and the world's been turning into seithr they're all likely dead by now. Amaterasu's little reset obviously did not get rid of the embryo nor did it completely wipe the memories of everyone in Chronophantasma
Celica still exists
Noel still has her non-NOL clothing and her murakumo powers
Azrael remembers everything
Terumi remembers everything
Relius remembers everything
Tsubaki completely wields Izayoi with no ill effects now
Rachel is completely weakened
>>316610529
Alpha got a lot of cockteasing though.
And I want her to tease my cock.
>>316611024
Wait. You seriously think that Mori is going to just kill off a bunch of characters off-screen for no reason? And it would be trivial for Mori to come up with an excuse to introduce those characters in the story if he wanted to, especially since they all know many of the existing characters and it would make sense for them to come in and help them. And we can expect him to introduce more characters, since each release will be increasing the size of the roster.
Funny you should talk about the Azure though; Mai had absorbed a fragment of the Azure and, though it got removed from her eventually, it served to empower her grimoire.
>>316611024
>none of them were implied to be special, nor did any of them have any azure powers
true, but we know Mori loves pulling dumb unexplained plot twists straight out of his ass
he could easily make up some shit like Mai's family holding a secret to deal with Amaterasu, or say that Kajun was absent until now researching some stupid secret weapon that will be important now
>>316611327
lew
dead spike
>>316611024
I feel like they're doing this CT do-over just to have a bunch of characters inserted into the story where they probably should've been from the beginning.
Or maybe as a way to give relevancy to nothing characters like Bullet.
I sure hope Ragna finds a friendly face. I mean, I thought he'd be edge incarnate and a jerk but he turned out to be so nice, and kind and kind of warm.
>>316613649
He deserves to be happy
>>316613649
Doesn't matter six feet under.
>>316613649
How about this friendly face?

how can people unironically like Nu

she's cute
Who are they looking at ? The answer may surprise you

Nothing. Drawings cannot see.
>>316615537
>Cute
>Yandere
>Best color scheme
>Lewd
>Priate valley girl
>>316615537
What's wrong with liking cute girls anon? Maybe Azrael is more to your liking?
>>316608826
As long as they don't add more trash from the VNs and spin offs
>>316615784
Nu is cute! Cute!
Also top-tier! Top-tier!
>>316616631
What do you want added then? Completely new characters with zero backstory who have absolutely no relation to the existing cast?
This thread sucks. Can we just talk about Platinum?
>>316615827
The pizza delivery man
They are sneering because he asked for a tip
>>316616870
Wouldn't mind that as long as their designs are nowhere near as Deviantart as the ones from those spin offs
>>316616870
I honestly prefer that to the spinoff characters so far.
>>316616026
I want her to have a happy ending, Instead of the sheer pure misery that is her current existence and role.
>>316617027
Have you seen the designs of the main cast?
>>316616984
what's your favorite thing about platinum
>>316617115
Butt, of course!
>>316616870
>Completely new characters with zero backstory
That sounds amazing, plot is already pretty convoluted and adding a few new faces that don't require reading unrelated material to know who they are sounds better.
>>316617238
The spinoff characters introduced in CP didn't require you to read unrelated material.
>>316617089
Yeah, and they look much better than those faggots, specially the first characters since they dropped the ball with Terumi, Amane, Azrael and the two newfags. Tsubaki is also a bit potato.
>>316616984
But that'd make it worse
>>316617115
>>316617236
>>316617415
Honestly now, which spinoff characters do you think look worse than the main cast?
>>316615884
>>316615948
Both are good answers but the real answer isMori
>There are people who actually like that X-blaze turd
>>316617494
Most of them. If they don't look like shit straight out of the most generic LNs then they look extremely derivative from the main cast.
>>316617072
but her current misery is entirely her fault for fucking up
>>316617802
I see you are dodging the question.
>>316617893
Do you expect to name every single one of them or what?
Plat.......
BUTT!!!!
>>316617869
She deserves one more chance, shit's been pretty hard for her on every single level
>>316617115
Cute little booty
>You find a confused Mori wandering around the streets, he has amnesia.
>He asks you "who am I?"
what's your answer, anon?
>>316618392
ono-san
>>316618064
Even disregarding the characters you already mentioned (Terumi, Amane and Azrael), are you seriously saying that the spinoff characters look worse than Litchi with her unbuttoned shirt showing off her tits and bra, Makoto with her outfit that shouldn't be able to keep her tits from popping out if she moved, Mu who's almost naked and has a crotchplate, Bang with his bizzare outfit that covers his arms and legs but leaves his body uncovered?
Because I'm really not seeing it.
>>316617869
Not really, she is programmed to be the way she is, she can't hep it that The big bads are always controlling her, filling her with hopelessness. What reason does she have to think that anything nice will ever happen to her?
>>316617869
How so? She doesn't have any agency unless she's around Ragna. She was created, tortured for experiments, and then forced to do the terrible bidding of evil jerks.
>playing BB
>>316619607

>>316621859
Agreed. You'll always be best girl.

You'll get yours, Tsubaki. You'll get yours.
>>316622325
>You'll get yours.
from nu
man, I hope Azrael's arcade has him facing off against Izanami or Nine. Even if it's just completely irreverent seeing that monster go up against another monster is much more entertaining than him pummeling everyone else. I wonder if 100 percent Hakumen could take him.
>>316617115
She's a bitch with fat butt.
>no dub VA announcers.
>>316615827
Ewwww. Why would you have a pile of shit in a picture of Noel? Do you have a scat fetish?
>>316622496
Hearing the announcer speak perfect English would kinda freak me out. In a good way.
>Like, the Wheel of Fate is turning, matey!
can't wait for JYB to voice Naoto.
>>316622754
VALLEYPIRATE NU MADE CANON WHEN
>>316622414
Can Azrael defeat Sol?
>>316622414
>I wonder if 100 percent Hakumen could take him.
100% Hakument would beat the shit out of anyone in the current roster
>>316623356
BB has the weirdest in-universe power levels.
>>316622414
I doubt it. He doesn't even know they exist. As far as he knows, Izanami's just the Imperator and Nine's dead. And neither of them would have any interest in him either.
He might end up fighting Hakumen, though. We know he's definitely gonna fight Ragna.
>>316622829
What makes you think that?
>>316624756
He looks tailor made for JYB.
>>316622829
But he's voicing Yu
>>316622890
not unlimited sol
>>316622829
I've heard JYB a million times but I can never remember what his voice sounds like.
So yes, generic high school LN protag is a perfect role.
>>316625715
We meet again, Kisama.
>>316623356
If she were at full power, I imagine Rachel could have taken him.
Did someone do Relius' and Amane's Astral on Naoto and Hibiki yet?
>>316622829
It will be Rice Papenbrook(Eren, Kirito).

>implying the Platfags even own the games
Well. Yeah. Otherwise we wouldn't be seeing any Plat players.
Do you guys actually fight or just waifufag all day?

Both. I played a long set earlier with someone here today.
>>316627649
You're a guy that's a bit tsun for Plat is what I think you are. So yeah, almost.
>>316627772
And she can't stop thinking about Ragna.
>>316627191
A fight is too real; a fight makes the better man certain. Delay the fight, and I can delude myself indefinitely.
>>316627772
>can't stop thinking thinking of Ragna
>>316627878
It's good for the school. Brings in a lot of money. Besides, my school just won and this conference game has big implications for us.

>>316629086
Well I did find it and I say you're a liar.
>>316629235
I think I see what you did there
enough Plat
let's talk about GAMEPLAY
which characters are good for newfags?
i prefercute
>>316629474
I missed CS. Did Makoto make more sense when she did tons of damage? Right now she just feels like a strictly worse Ragna.
>>316629474
How do I get good against Tager when using.
>>316629593
Celica!!!
>>316629317
You're lying to yourself
>>316629474
I want makoto to be buffed hard in CF
>>316629593
Izayoi
>>316629474
Okay. I have a conundrum. I want to get better with Hakumen, but I'm just not feeling like it's happening. I do much better with Celica, but I also feel like she's holding my skill level back. What do?
>>316629798
Ok maybe I am.
But what about now? Now you love her right?
>>316629798
>Izayoi
Fuck off Mori.
>>316629718
Poke with the snake every now and then fly in to do combos
>>316629839
Then try to become the best celica you can be
>>316629593
Celica, Bullet, Lambda and Noel are cute and easy to play
>>316629703
yeah she's not that interesting at all right now. Too much work for little reward
>>316629593
Celica, Bullet, Noel, Jin, Ragna
>>316629703
She made no sense because she was broken as fuck. She deserves everything she's gotten, and it should continue into CF.
>>316630197
>>316630203
>>316629734
He asked for cute, not sluts. Dummies.
>>316629593
Only one proper answer.
>>316630000
No, I'll never love or like her.
>>316630237
She doesn't need to be broken but she should at least get buffed into being decent
>>316630360
>>316630530
Wrong
>>316630360
Her RNG is not suited for a newbie though.
>>316630767
Makoto deserves nothing but suffering. Stop memeing.
>>316630767
Are you sure on both of those?
>>316630237
No bully Makoto. She should do more damage.
>>316630996
Why though?
>>316631048
Positive
When Terumi attacked Platinum, did he slice her open letting her innards spill out or just cut her with a magic blade or what?
>>316631248
He did it with the good ol butterfly knife
>>316631235
Well, ok then I guess.
>>316631248
Like this
>>316631127
alternate outfit when
>>316630132
I will become the greatest Celica player in existence then.
>>316631551
Bout time you learned
>>316631684
I'm sorry for being so stubborn.
>>316631612
Not soon enough. Makoto's jacket is so cute.
>>316631841
Finally
why is the wheel of fate turning?
>>316632226
rebel won
Why isn't there a black character? Is Mori racist? Daisuke has Venom.
>>316632705
Bullet
>>316632892
Sir,Yes sir. Reporting for duty.
>>316632824
His face is white idiot
>>316633196
Well I guess my room is blue because it has a blue square on one of the walls.
>Tkl when Naoto bests Terumi and Hazama in combat where Ragna will get his ass kicked.
>>316632705
What abou the Black Knight?
>>316633372
How do you figure? Did you forget that Hazama has a BlazBlue?
>>316633372
As long as Ragna is likeable, I don't mind if he kind of sucks. That's even a charm point.
>>316633615
Naoto's from another world, Terumi never interacted with him once, nor can he feed off his hatred for him and on top of that he's got vampire powers and now that Rachel is severely weakened he's more or less up there in terms of power compared to the cast. He even seemed fine battling with Nu who had cracks on her in that cgi. Nobody has been able to fuck Nu up like that so far besides Hakumen or Jin.
>>316632824
>the only "black" character
>is a dirty black blob, associated with bugs and cursing people
you're not helping, anon
Did Noellers or Tsubaki get buffed in CF?
>>316633984
Ragna's got one on the board against Nu. Granted that's after literally countless losses, but hey, it's progress.
>>316632892
Bullet is delicious brown.
>>316633984
>Nobody has been able to fuck Nu up like that so far besides Hakumen or Jin
doe Lambda's arcade mode count?
>>316633984
Ragna beat Nu without using his BlazBlue. What's your point?
And, again, you forget that Hazama has a BlazBlue. That, on its own, makes him one of the stronger characters in the cast.
>>316634060
i don't know about Noel, but I've heard Tsubaki is buffed
>>316634173
Please don't remind me of that. Nu sounds way more scary using Noel's voice now rather than her usual insane mannerisms.
Type BAnd thanks to playing BB alot I actually changed my Tekken layout to Type B which everyone thinks is really strange.
![Linhua_%28Story_Mode_Artwork%2C_Normal%29[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/vbfVhli.png "Linhua %28Story Mode Artwork%2C Normal%29[1]"){kind=small}
Playable when?
>>316634528
She can't even hurt Tager. The majority of the cast can beat the shit out Tager and she can't do even that.
>>316634528
After Litchi dies
Litchi kill fucking when? She's so damn shit.
From what's shown in the novels, Naoto can access a bit of the Black Beast's power somehow, similar to Toya.
lobby when you fucks
>>316634528
I always thought no one other than me wanted this
>>316634746
There was one up don't know if it still is though
The black beast..the world's nightmare.
>>316634710
What? How?
That's so weird when they established that you can just make Black Beasts and that the one Black Beast is Ragna.
>>316634710
of course.
>>316635284
He can hear Ragna's voice in his head. And the Ragna in his head can somehow lend Naoto some of his power. This allows Naoto to summon a mass of seithr. He lends strength to Naoto when he has need of it.
>>316635381
DAAA-RATATATA-TA-TA-TATATAAAA
>>316635454
That sounds really goofy.
>>316635454
gary stu confirmed
just what the series needed
>>316635597
Toya never heard Ragna's voice, but he could still draw from the Black Beast's power through the Original Grimoire.
In any case, both Toya and Naoto are connected to Ragna in some way. And supposedly, so's Sechs.
Hakumen vs Terumi was pretty hype. I just wish we could of seen Hakumen's demon hunt move but Arakune ran the fuck away when he was about to use it on him.
>>316635730
What does Ragna say? Exclaim confusion and tell him to pick fights? The idea that Ragna has some sort of idea about his importance to the universe feels so wrong to me.
>>316635381
Is there any point to extending the hilt like that before he sheathes it?
>>316635845
>Hakumen vs Terumi was pretty hype.
That shit was pretty lame due to the fact there was no animated cutscene for it. Terumi dying of all things didn't get a cutscene but some weak shit like jin and hakumen cutting a pillar got one.
>>316636045
No. There's a part where Naoto has to make a choice about killing his own sister. And then the voice in Naoto's head goes
>"Are you really going to kill your own sibling?"
Later, when Naoto's about to get killed, a shadowy figure appears in Naoto's mind and touches his fist to Naoto's chest. And then suddenly Naoto is able to summon bits of seithr. In these situations, Naoto tends to talk a lot like Ragna does in battle, like saying "BE DEVOURED BY DARKNESS!" and whatnot.
>>316636045
>"I'm just like you! God only knows whose soul's this actually is! But it doesn't matter. I'm a person, A human being!"
>>316636047
Good eyes,anon. Yes. Ragna has a button to extend it into a battle state and a regular state. When he hits it at the start he's loosening up the blade so it can detach and the scythe can come out when he wants.
>>316636067
There were lots of scenes in there I felt like needed to be animated. Noel,Ragna and Jin challenging Izanami, Hakumen vs Terumi's climax, The decent of Takemikazuki and the scene where Noel gets her azure power under control.
>>316636260
That sounds so stupid. Do you like the BE novels?
Hazama vs Terumi when?
>>316636260
Also, Kazuma, the body Terumi needed before Hazama started having nightmares of fighting a man in red jacket an white hair atop a building while screaming "Hate me, Hate me, Hate me, Hate me, Hate me! Ahahahahaha!" while the man in red said things like. "You bastard, I'll never forgive you!"
Now considering Kazuma vamoos'd before he ever got the chance to combat Ragna how the hell could he have memories of continnum shit?
Also in the short story involving Noel she'd keep having dreams of playing with a boy she didn't know and sometimes she'd randomly here a voice say "You....are...not..me" You get to see it detail in the calamity trigger revision where she flashes back to a saya memory of Ragna taking care of her. She'd also be crying in her sleep for various reasons and no reason at all, something Tsubaki and Makoto noted when they first met her in the short story from Continuum Shift 2.
>>316636773
I found them a bit boring to be honest, but it's not like I hate them.
My theory is whatever connection Naoto has to Ragna was actually inherited from Toya.
Toya was also the previous user of the Drive Bloodedge.
The timing for Celica's challenge 11 is so inconsistent. Pretty much every hit in this is wildly different every time. Sometimes he instantly recovers after 2A, sometimes he flies too high for 6B to catch, sometimes he's too high for 3C to connect. Anyone manage to finish all of Celica's challenges?
>>316637440
I'm just gonna assume having the drive bloodedge links you to Ragna and call it day.
>>316637606
And it looks like all I needed was a rant here. Thanks guys. I should do this more often.
>>316638047
The universe will do anything to make you look silly, including letting you succeed. Good work, keep it up!
Ragna and Noel are the hero and heroine of this game,right? Thinking of getting invested but just how much do the two matter in the grand scheme of things?
>>316638753
Ragna's at the center of everything and Noel's the Successor of the Azure.
Calamity Trigger and Continuum Shift basically revolves around those two. Chronophantasma was a bit of a detour, though.
>>316638340
I'll keep trying.
>>316638753
Noel is old and busted, Celica is the new hotness.
>>316639380
Why do you say these hurtful things?
>>316639380
But Ragna and Noel are loversin a gag reel.
>>316639380
Celica isn't intelligent enough for Ragna.
>>316638894
>>316639563
So is Noel his girlfriend or something? There seems to be a lot of art of them paired up in this thread. If they aren't
>>316639702
>>316639789
>>316639809
Search your feelings, you know this to be true. Celica even got major buffs while Noel got nerfs in CF.
>>316634801
She is a much character than Hibiki though. Actually has personallity and decent characterization as opposed to just being an accessory.
Is Celica actually fun to play?
>>316640074
What do you think?
>>316635624
>Implying the series didn't already get a gary-stu in CP.
>>316640294
>gary-stu
Learn what the term means. Pro-tip: It doesn't mean "character I dislike".
>>316640193
Eh, she has very few options to open up opponents. She has decent damage though and piss easy hit confirms. Her overdrive can be used to lame out a match if you're good at evading.
>>316640074
Noel isn't even a real human.
>>316637440
I thought Toya only has the original Grimoire. I never knew he has a Bloddedge.
>>316640294
He's not as much Gary Stu as he is Scrappy Doo.
Although I do share the frustration that he never gets "punished" in the story and him swooping in to do everything in the story in place of the other characters was seriously annoying.
>>316641170
He awakens to the ability to manipulate blood.
>>316640074
Yes.
In one scenario.
>>316640534
>Comes out of nowhere and is immediately one of the main characters to the point that the designated deuteragonist Jin barely does anything.
>Gets tons of pussy, with it being implied he had an affair with Makoto and that he wants to fuck the series' main heroine despite no build-up. whatsoever.
>Makes most of the other characters seem like incompetent idiots.
>Looks like a 10-year old's OC.
>>316640294
god damn his chest proportions look all messed up in this art. fucking mori.
>>316641252
Kagura is Poochie, Celica is Bella Swan, and Naoto is Scrappy.
>>316641352
Didn't Makoto deny that that happened?
>>316641449
I'm biting my tongue on Naoto, because while everything about him and BE sounds like fanfiction garbage, I don't know how he'll end up in CF.
But sure. I can otherwise agree with all of that.
>>316641461
she can deny it all she wants, but he fucked that squirrel
>>316641352
>>316641449
I swear whenever I see him in his intro riding his motorcycle, I can tell Mori is obviously phoning it in.
He probably thinks that with Guilty Gear back in the spotlight, the kids might like Sol Badguy more, so he wants a new protag in him or Naoto-Kun.
>>316641352
Kagura only beat Ragna because Ragna was literally crippled and couldn't use any of his powers. If the strongest NOL soldier couldn't beat him in that state he'd have been pretty pathetic. Kagura may be strong but he's weaker than Ragna or any of the really powerful characters. And he sits out all of the important battles so he doean't really usurp the position of the main characters.
Also, Kagura is not a Gary Stu because he ia far from perfect. He's impulsive and arrogant. His plan to deal with Izayoi was to try and seduce Tsubaki. And his ham-fisted attempts to seduce Makoto and Noel are a running gag. He's only an effective leader because Hibiki keeps him on a leash.
>>316641461
Yes, but because of double standards and an otaku-obsession with purity that may have transcended sarcasm and irony to become manifest, nobody ever listens to the girl in this scenario.
Also because it's easy bait. It gets me every time. Kagura is the fat balding faceless old men of Blazblue.
I bet in the end it'll turn out that they had a sleepover in their school days or something and Kagura is just an ass about it.
>>316641859
Are you kidding? /v/ has plenty of purityfags. I've seen people unironically call Dizzy a slut and hate her because she got married and had a child with Ky.
>>316641449
By that logic Ranga is Coldsteel the Hedgeheg.
>>316641730
The whole gimmick of almost all of BB's cast is that except the villains, they all have tragic backgrounds n shit. Meanwhile Kagura is perfect in pretty much every single way. Same thing with Celica.
Unlike Celica who's a shit character no matter what, Kagura at least could have SOME depth, like if his life and reputation starts going to shit or something, like him failing to protect Noel or something.
>>316641990
I felt like in the beginning, people were pretending to be purityfags to mock obsessed otaku and then people stopped pretending at some point.
>>316642137
Only if Coldsteel the Hedgehog turned out to be a charming likeable parody of bad fanfiction.
>>316642137
But Ragna is actually written well.
>>316642236
How if Kagura perfect? I already outlined that he has a number of personality flaws.
And wanting everyone to have an ultra-tragic backstory is a bad idea. It gets ridiculous if literally every character has a tragic past or traumatic childhood.
>>316642320
People are relying on wiki summaries and parroting stuff they have seen on these threads when discussing Naoto. I bet almost nobody here has actually read the original LNs to be able to say how well he's actually written.
If you make a summary of what Ragna is like you can easily make him sound like an edgelord written by a 10 year-old.
How hard is Izayoi?
I really like her design and how her moves look. She seems pretty complicated though.
>>316642236
I think the single worst thing about Kagura was that whole speech he had about the evils of the caste system under the Imperator and how he's fighting for the common man. Besides coming right the fuck out of nowhere, everything about him spouting cliches in an attempt to justify his installing a monarch felt so unbelievably disingenious. Then it's played totally straight.
It was bad enough when Jin did the exact same thing in Alter Memory. Then they had to repeat themselves to try to establish Kagura's good guy character objectives and he just seems like a huge prick. I think Kagura'd be a lot more interesting as a character if he was just being selfish by installing a puppet figurehead. But no, they have to slap these stock noble intentions to remove any and all interesting aspects to this character.
>>316642431
Some of them are just going through tragic shit IE Noel's treated like shit constantly and learns she's a magitech sleeping weapon, Litchi has magic AIDS and is an all-around cunt, Rachel is forced to watch bad shit happen again and again, Tao doesn't know that she and her people are just sentient weapons.
>>316642776
I think you're exaggerating. Kagura still wants to keep the current system and have himself on top. He wants a more relaxed form of government that doesn't indiscriminately slaughter people, but it's not as if he's bringing freedom to the oppressed.
>>316642236
We've been over this before. Celica is by no means this flawless character. She's rash, self sacrificial to the point of volunteering herself to be used before her sister intervened, and has a poor sense of direction. Granted, those aren't particularly glaring character flaws, but they still exist.
>>316642701
You'll be essentially learning two characters. Normal form and Gain Art or whatever it's called are fairly different in a number of ways. She's not beginner friendly, but if you stick with it, you can do it.
>>316643292
Wouldn't know that by the awful speech he has. That might have been his only real character moment in CP because everything else was plot shit or walking Ragna through his epiphany. Pure cringe.
>>316643292
Except he wants to put Homura on top.
>>316643508
Did you expect him to give a speech to motivate others by saying "I want to be the guy on top, help he get there?" It would have been completely idiotic to do that and not present some higher ideals.
>>316643635
Homura is a child. Kagura will be running things for years and even after that he'll be the number 2 person in the world. That's pretty good.
>>316616870
>Completely new characters with zero backstory who have absolutely no relation to the existing cast?
Wow, that sounds like how new characters usually are in a fighting game.
>>316643841
Homura was already running things and keeping as much order as possible when Izanami pulled off her shit in Chronophantasma's epilogue.
>>316643841
He wasn't giving a speech to motivate others, it was in private.
>>316643459
Even if Celica had "flaws", she's still an insufferable pile of shit who's mere pressence starts to poison the game, story and gameplay wise.
I swear she was probably put in due to the fact that they needed a new moe character who this time would stay an insufferable shit for the remainder of the series as opposed to Noel actually becoming a strong, but cute, female character.
>>316644031
She was put in the game due to fan demand. And presumably, there's gonna be something with Nine in Centralfiction as well.
Who do I main?
Carl Taokaka or Bang
I love the vigilante group so much, team fight mode when I want to have all three together.
>>316644494
Either Bang or Tao.
Carl a shit.
>>316644119
>She was put in the game due to fan demand.
I should know better than to start arguing with you, Celicafag, because we are eternal enemies and will never see eye-to-eye on anything. But in this case, I'm pretty sure you're just making things up.

The Japs must think differently, otherwise she wouldn't be playable. And ultimately they're the only audience Arcsys gives a shit about.
>>316644494
Carl for maximum dickwagging rights.
>>316644678
I'm not sure why I didn't just post the image. Boy am I stupid.

Storywise Carl a shit.
>>316644771
>Makotos number 3
Nice
>>316644678
Being in the top 20 is bad? In any case, she was already a relatively well-liked character in the Phase Shift novels. Mori said this himself. And besides, being Nine's sister was a flag from the start. You don't make someone a sister of one of the Six Heroes and give them a unique ability if you're not planning to do anything with them.
>>316644771

>>316645134
What about Noel (non-hat version)?
>>316645134
>>316645145
What really? Even Makoto and Rachel?
Also, I'm having exaggerated main trouble. I don't know who to main I've tried everyone and no one is really /sticking/ aside from like, a few.
>>316640274
I'm not feeling it, they look to adorable. Noel especially looks like an imouto type character.

who's that character right of Tager and above Litchi?
It's been a while since I played BB
>>316645258
Play Hakumen and counter niggas.
>>316645582
Celica Mercury
>>316645193
I meant what I said, she should be rank 30
>>316645582
Bullet and Celica
>>316645648
>>316645668
Oh, I thought that was the girl below Kokonoe
then who's that below Kokonoe then? Nine?
How do I Combo into Hazama's stance special?
When will ASW pull a 2nd Impact Yun and Yang to Nu and Lambda.
Lambda deserves more than to be a character who plays almost the exact same as her twin.
>>316644968
Grasping at straws, Celicafag. We are going to continue this discussion later. I will argue that you are wrong for liking thing and said thing is bad and you should feel bad for liking it until the cow come home.
>>316645854
Izayoi, Tsubaki's alt form.

Izayoi aka Tsubaki

The distortion or the normal stance stuff?
>>316645965
I don't really care what you like or how much animosity you feel towards me. If you want to turn me into some sort of punching bag in order to make yourself feel better, I won't stop you.
But the way I see it, all that really does is bare your desperation for all to see.
>>316646138
The distortion.
>>316645417
>The fug?
She was created in a laboratory using Ragna's sister Saya as a cloning base.
>>316646280
Now I really hope they don't end up together. That shit's weird,man.
>>316645258
Wait a second, I'm pretty sure Rachel can combo into her Astral off of literally anything. Like throw into Astral is valid.
>>316646279
>how do i combo into a command grab.
>>316646279
I don't think you can combo into that. You can knock people into the corner and then do it as they get up.
>>316646280
>cloning base
Murakumo Units are made from crystalized seithr.
>>316646417
It's not that weird. The vast majority of Ragna'scanonlove interests are pseudo-incestual. Take those away and you're basically left with the bunny leech.And crack. Delicious, delicious crack. It's good for you!
Which Blazblue plays like Jam?
>>316647198
Noel is the brain dead character you're looking for.
Is it bad I don't like to think when I have to play a character? I'd rather focus more on the opponent.
>>316646645
>2046x1447
Its amazing
>>316646645
I don't see how Rachel is a love interest for Ragna
>inb4 gag reel
By that logic he has no love interests except Celica.
Terumi still did nothing wrong.
>>316648264
he gets a mark in the 'good' column for eviscerating plat
>>316648256
Rachel loves Ragna.
But as you know, all love in unrequited.
>>316648256
Well. She's in love with him. It'd be nice if she got to be happy.
>>316648256
This. Noel said talking to him was like talking to her mother or father. Rachel knows she can't have Ragna but she really loves to watch him like the stalker she is and only Celica has made her feelings known with gusto, she even offered him a handjob. If Nine had heard that Ragna would of been super dead. Before any of you accuse Saya of being a brocon keep in mind she was like 8 years old before Terumi kidnapped her.
>>316648394
Shitty vampires don't deserve happiness.
>Central Fiction was suppose to be part of Chrono Phantasma
>Central Fiction has THREE Acts not to mention the actual story mode in the console version
Just how fucking long was Chrono Phantasma suppose to be?

I'll have you know she's not shitty at all. She's a bunny (leech)
>"You really were the Calamity Trigger!"
Fucking Mori.
>>316648903
You forgot the extend version for the one or two new addictions to the roster and their stories. They may even have 3 parts of their arcade modes as well. Holy banana's this is going to take a long time. I hope they got smart this time about the localization process. I don't want to wait fucking 2 years just to see the story for myself in english. It probably won't even fit on PsVita cart now.
>>316649226

Damn it Mori.

Damn it Mori.
>>316649401
Rachel desu~
I love Rachel, I just wish she wasn't so fucking hard to play.

>>316649257

What do you think the final roster count will be? Potential Extend version included.
>>316654193
35. Subsequent acts release one character each, console version gets another, and then Extend gets two more.
The gag reels are actually pretty damn funny.
>>316654472
>Odd numbered character roster
Please no. My OCD can't handle it.
#Triggered
>>316654983
Just think of it as Ragna surrounded by 34 friends.
>>316654983
Symmetry you faggot. My OCD is stronger than yours.
Three in the center. Those'll be in the vanilla characters. Two on the end of each side for Extend.
At least there'll be one axis. If there's DLC, they'd better make it a perfect hexagon or I'm going to be deeply upset.
Were Makoto's parents both squirrels?
>>316655693
Probably not. Look at Kokonoe's who parents were a human and a beastkin.
Only question is if the father or the mother is a squirrel. Might be the beefy father who's the beastkin due to his daughter's physic.
>>316656014
Pretty sure they were. And I don't know if you can call Jubei a beastkin, because that seems to be reserved for the results of the genetic experiments patterned after Jubei. So Jubei's just a cat.
At least, Makoto's family all being squirrels is the impression I got from her gag reel. Somehow.
Is it physically possible for Bullet to be wearing unseen underwear with those pants?
Would guns be viable in the BB world?
>>316657681
Noel uses a couple of them.
>>316657681
Well, you've got Noel.
One of the story explanations for the lack of guns is that ars magus all runs on seithr and was buit to combat the Black Beast. Since the Black Beast is the source of seithr, the sort of reasonable idea is that the weapons were created to be close ranged to take advantage of the fuel source.
But there's still killsats and other projectile things. I'm sure they're still effective.
>>316657681
With Ars Barriers I'm sure bullets would be useless.
Then again gunfights would just be who could deplete the barrier first.

Does Ragna actually have feelings for anybody or is it just mostly one sided?

I can see how Alpha would become the most plot relevant.
Litchi a shit
Kokonoe a shit

Celica a super-duper shit.
>>316663583
I can see any character becoming relevant to the plot but what >>316610435 said smelt of hypocrisy.
I think Noel deserves love.

I don't click random links with no descriptions. Sounds like a rather stupid thing to do given where we are.

The date at the top indicates that it was posted 4 days ago. Somewhere in there the author mentions that those were from the most recent loketests, but I never heard of it either. Personally I think that sounds ridiculously strong and sounds like it could lead to homogenized strategies in regards to how players utilise mechanics. You never know though, in the end you just have to wait and see how the game develops.

I'm not so much worried about that as I am worried about seeing something I don't particularly want to see.
Like an SJW article. This is /v/, it's more likely than you'd think.
good night thread.
Sounds like CF is gonna be filled with Overdrive combos left and right

I don't think so, but you can always start one. Usually there's at least a few people to join

to be fair, it's evernote. Worst thing you could see is a badfic or whatever
>>316667354
Could be a recent change, but I somehow doubt it.
Here's footage of the game as of a month ago where you can blurrily see that EA does not trigger AF.

Given the rate of burst regeneration on AF, getting it for free after an EA would be insane. You'd be able to OD with zero consequence because you'd get the burst back immediately.

If it were you wouldn't exactly be forced to read it.

Hot racists, everybody's problem.
Also looking fine as hell in CF. Any other motherfuckers get a feature of their unlimited version as a buff?

I mean, god damn. Who needs doujins when Arc is so accommodating?
>>316673524
but I do need doujins
Seeing how the arcade has 3 acts, looks like we're going to wait a long time for console release.
Vanilla arcade - Next week
Vanilla console - October 2016
Extend arcade - October 2017
Extend console - April 2018

10.
Released in February 2014 for arcades and then PS3/PS4 version out in December of the same year.
>>316674085
Well that question kind of answers itself in this regard.
Fuck Makoto
Marry Tsubaki
Kill Noel
is literally the only acceptable answer.
>>316674085
ez m8
fuck Makoto
kill Noel
marry Tsubaki
>>316674312
>>316674286
I have a giant boner for Noel.
But really. This is the answer.

>>316673934
I'm guessing the 3 acts thing is just meant to keep the arcade version popular for longer and won't really affect the console version release window
>>316678528
They're just releasing the story mode in arcades.
someone pick my main for me
>>316680136

>>316680136
just choose the cup size of your preference and go from there
>>316680586
so i should play Tsubaki?
>>316681661
Do what your dick tells you to.
>>316678627
They've never done that before, and it wouldn't mesh with how Mori likes to do things. To Mori, the arcade mode and story mode shouldn't be mutually exclusive. The arcade mode shouldn't just be an abridged version of the story mode.
Thus, up until now, the arcade mode has always been separate from the story mode, something that definitely happens at one point or another, whether it's a past time loop, or a continuum shift, or whatever else. So it's unlikely that CF's arcade mode will be the same as the story mode.
