I can only hope that they make those characters busted as all hell so we don't have any ridiculous tournament shenanigans (MAKOTO BANNED?! NOT BANNED?! RAGE! THIS GUY'S XBOX DOESN'T HAVE NU DOWNLOADED OK NO NU THIS TOURNAMENT)

Didn't ASW see how annoying that was with SF4? Do they seriously have to inflate hype by releasing a new character like 6 months after their game comes out instead of just waiting on releasing the game in the first place? Namco and finally Capcom have realized that players like it best when you just release everything at once, I never suspected that Arc would do this to me :(


I guess I will take my grumbles elsewhere as I play on the soon-to-be-obsolete arcade version......


....So Makoto's like a mix between Felicia and Talim....?

I was cool with buying color packs. It's stupid, but hey, I like Arc Systems so I'll throw them a couple of extra bucks.

I am not cool with buying new characters.

Makoto will cost 560 MS points and will supposedly be coming to the arcade version. She's also allowed in Ranked.

Her Drive is called Impact.

Calamity Trigger v-13 will be Unlimited Lambda-11. (LOL)

Story spoilers

i repeat. Spoilers.

Bloodedge was the name of jubei's friend, a man who fought alongside the six heroes. Jubei considers him to be a true hero. It's his jacket and sword that ragna was given. Rachel may have had a thing for him (or some sort of connection to him, not sure).

The six heroes were hakumen, jubei, nine, valkenhayn, terumi, and trinity.

In hakumen's original timeline, when he was still jin, he had a relationship with tsubaki, but she died. He meets her in cs story mode and talks to her about it in an indrect way. He has her take off her mask and gently caresses her face. Screenshot. He says that her courage taught and guided his heart, and that he named his special technique after her. That would be tsubaki, "camellia prayer". Theory is that in his timeline, because noel died, she never became his secretary, and instead tsubaki did.

Relius's red puppet is/was his wife, ignis clover. Carl's mother.

Hakumen and jin have a manly talk of some sort, or jin has a manly talk with someone. Comes to his senses. Hakumen has a fierce battle with mu, but can't win. Jin shows up and steps up, takes over the fight pretty much.

The life-link currently being discussed in this thread is apparantly between terumi and noel, making it impossible to kill terumi without killing noel. Nu's soul (in lambda) is apparantly used somehow to give ragna the power to turn mu back into noel (shattering her unit or something).

Saya is the imperator. She's the "mastermind". She's the one who gave jin yukianesa.

At the end of the story mode, the following people group up together: Protagonists = ragna, taokaka, and noel. Jin and jubei. Hakumen and rachel. Antagonists = imperator, hazama, phantom, relius, tsubaki, litchi.

At the end of the story, saya has already destroyed the amaterasu unit. It happened while ragna was "distracting the observers" and terumi briefly vanished (when ragna returned mu back to noel, i think).

Ragna is the "destroyer of the world". Jin is the "world's antibody". This leads to a major decision that jin hs to make.
At the end, Arakune is captured by Relius.

The next setting for the series will be Ikaruga. Everyone is heading there at the end of CS.

Jubei sends Taokaka to Ikaruga with Ragna at the end.

Trinity teaches Bang some things involving Tenjou. Bang's got the final Nox Nyctores. It is probably going to be needed to save Arakune.

I cannot be the only one who just read those spoilers and thought the whole time: WTF

Did I miss something or is this **** just crazy off the wall
I mean I know ASW has to be more creative than "THERE WAS A BIG FIGHTING TOURNAMENT AND EVERYONE HAS THEIR REASONS FOR PARTICIPATING", but.....seriously?

I literally lol'd when I read this:

"In hakumen's original timeline, when he was still jin, he had a relationship with tsubaki, but she died."

Aww yea nu mu and lambda. Also Makoto ain't furry.



As far as storyline goes, BB still isn't guilty gear enough for me to give a ****, and the console intro demonstrates what I don't like about BB vs. Guilty Gear: Less "this is rock and roll" and more "this is an anime".

Didn't they say this wasn't a case of DLC being a code that unlocks content already on the disc?

No, those are simply empty place holder files that will be overwritten when the DLC comes out. Look at the size of the files.

I just started getting into BB with CT. Been watching CS videos and following the tier list creation. From what I understand Bang and litchi are top tier, but the tiers are much closer than before, with a bang vs rachel (who is the worst character) only 65 to 35
 
Top Bottom
