Noel is said to be Mu-12 actually, 1 version earlier than Nu-13. That's why we get a jump to Lambda-11.

germanturkey · 2009-09-28, 21:33

to be honest, i wish they would give us Xi-14, but that'd just be wayyyyyy too imba. lol

Higher res of previous scans from Famitsu

Spoiler for Kinda long:

I must say I dig Tsubaki's sprite more than her portrait.

A shame...

I wanted Noel to be Rho-12, since Nu is the inverse of Rho in physics.

And yeah, i also liked Tsubaki's sprite more than her portrait, but that's common for me in BB. I never liked the portraits that much.

Well Nu is 13 because Nu is the 13th Greek alphabet, Noel is 1 version earlier, making her Mu-12, Mu being the 12th Greek alphabet. Lambda is the 11th alphabet, so we have Lambda-11 now.

If there's Rho, it would be Rho-17, which can't be happening because Nu-13 is the latest version.

ready for a mind****? don't watch this with other people in the room. its not nsfw, but just insanely creepy.

Yeah... I didn't knew that(until your last post), but i always wondered "why the Nu?" now everything makes sense, hahaha.

An Aksys rep left a cryptic hint at Dustloop that there may be another new playable character.

Edit: New screens.

germanturkey · 2009-09-30, 11:36

mmm. screens look fantastic. i want to see Lambda in use in one of the screens. so we can see how much her range has changed (nerfed...) kinda like how we deduced Hakumen's new poke is like half a screen length..

ZeroForever · 2009-10-01, 12:40

hmm reading the results from the first location test apparently so far in the patch Bang, Hakuman, and Tager got super buffed to broken levels while Rachel, Jin, Noel, Lamda, Arakune got nerfed. Everyone else seems to have minor changes.

Next location test should have Hazuma so that should be interesting.

Edit- link to a consolidated location test changes post.

LOL @ Rachel's complete list of nerfing, the only combos that I think can work is the BNB ground and air combos, nothing more than that. Rachel is stripped of every single thing she had that made her top tier, she has absolutely nothing now lol. Definitely looking forward to the improvements next test.

But awesome that Bang has become a much better character, he'll be sticking as my sub for some time I guess.

germanturkey · 2009-10-01, 14:34

i'm hoping that eventually they'll change things around enough that the top tier will be top tier again and everyone else will be distributed evenly.

that said, apparently Lambda wasn't nerfed nearly as much as everyone thought. her attacks are one frame more delayed (game runs at 60fps, so change isn't that major i think) and she gets an Eddie drill attack rather than Sickle Storm.

the biggest ugh for me is that that dd > 4dd no longer combos

Trogdor Jube · 2009-10-01, 18:02

HELL TO THE YES! TAGER BUFFS FTW!

Gonna have to get adjusted to the new FEVER more for Arakune though.

Nice to see Ragna didn't change too much. Great to see Dead spike being better. Since I already use dead spike alot. I'm all for the upgrade especially with the new guard libra system. His SRK being better is made of win as well.

Tsubaki seems alot like Order Sol which is an good thing considering he was an secondary main in GGAC. Going to put more time in training her than anyone else.

Really irritating. I actually convinced myself to not buy this game with all the nerfing they did to her, but I realize thats just stupid (I do want to play Tsubaki after all). I'll just have to play the original BlazBlue to get my Rachel fix.

germanturkey · 2009-10-01, 21:15

there will be many more location tests before the changes are final. trust me, Tager won't be top tier when its all said and done. nor will Rachel be bottom tier.

Don't be so hasty. Remember, doing too well in the location test doesn't mean a good thing. Everyone can see that the nerf is kind of overboard, and they will get thing fixed later.

Although I can see myself struggle to adjust with the new Rachel. No matter what, I'll still main Rachel.

More screens:

As always, the BG is gorgeous.

Indeed. Truly breathtaking.

Here's a nice piece of blue themed fanart i'm sure some of you will like.

Spoiler for Ragnya x Nu:

Lemons · 2009-10-02, 19:10

I'm glad Jin is getting nerfed.

From trying to get the Dante achievement (Beat arcade mode, on hell mode) he was annoying as hell to beat with Ragna. He literally spammed his counter, froze me, then did his astral finish. Not to mention his fighting style is incredibly easy to master.

Tager, i'm not that worried about, he's easy if you use a long range character like Hakumen, Rachel, or even spamming Ragna's Gauntlet Hades on the poor guy.

I have a feeling i'm going to love Hazama's fighting style. :3
