So, since Terry brought along more mechanics from his home series than Ryu and Ken, I fully expect that an ArcSys rep would RCs and the like.

So long as Baiken and Johnny make a return, I'll be pretty happy. Robo-Ky is a lot more of a long shot, but his play style and gimmicks in AC were so cool that I'd love to see him again.

I'd still call it a coin flip. Let's say one of them is guaranteed to get in, in my mind it could go either way. Like, let's say Sol represents classic and Ragna represents modern anime fighters. Using our Persona representative as an example, Yu Narukami has certainly been around a whole lot...

So, I kinda thought the point of the BB cast being cliches was to use that as a jumping off point for story telling and character development. Like, Ragna starts off as your stock 90s antihero, but despite being Mr. Protagonist receives exactly no respect, with every attempt to leverage his...

All by the same guy, no less. So yeah, either way there's a lot of Daisuke Ishiwatari present. And I feel like Holy Orders or Bullet Dance would be obligatory. I'd expect most of the Blazblue tracks to be older character themes.

I'd be pretty down for an ArcSys character. Whether it's Ragna or Sol, they'd both be pretty cool to have on board. It'd be interesting to compare/contrast how the two could function, based on their personal differences and system differences between GG and BB. While they'd absolutely share a...

To join the "prospective Ammy gameplay workshop," I've got at least a concept and a few "definite," moves rather than a full moveset. This'll be very long and very wordy, so it's gonna go in a Google doc posted here once it's mostly done. She's a literal deity, with Palutena being the only...

Whelp, I've got a mission, then. It's not like I've ever been out to win at tourney, anyway. Main goal was to put on a show.

So, I want to make sure I haven't missed anything regarding its uses. ST1 has invincibility on his arm and most of his body during a part of startup and projectile cancelation properties. Sounds good. That's great and all, but I've been finding both of those factors mostly moot in practice. The...

Counter point; use Command Select as a feint of sorts to bait them into rushing in and go from there. Hell, if Flame/Kakrackle Slash pops up in the top in the top option, let them rush you and smack them with it.

Zoom is apparently more likely to be an option when close to the blast line(53% chance, apparently), so it's actually decently likely you can get back for free...assuming you have the MP for it. If Zoom does appear and you don't have the MP for it, you deserve to die for not doing the smart...

As it says, see if you're characters share a common theme, style, etc. Or alternativtely, think on what makes them different. For example, the three I use are Shulk, Robin, and now the Hero. Similarity: All three are "spell blade" characters, supplementing their swordplay with magic of some...

It would be pretty sensible to just tie the bevy of spells with upgraded versions to their on places in a menu. Just have them be tapped/held versions, like neutral and side special. Boom/Kaboom Sizzle/Kasizzle Whack/Thwack Psych Up/Oomph While the spells aren't related, Bounce/Kacklang, Magic...

EDIT: And this is an incredibly important thing to note; if you can't pick an option within a second or so, abandon the attempt and focus on the fight at hand. If the opponent has the time to realize you're picking something and check themselves, it's too late, it probably won't land, and you've...

My immediate feeling was that he felt like Smash 4 Shulk. Which is to say, a totally unique take on a swordsman character with a high skill floor and ceiling, but who is held back by clunky implementation of his mechanics and subpar frame data. Hopefully, they'll get the Shulk treatment sometime...
