It's a huge difference from Melty Blood, where the best normals (Nero's j.C, F-Ryougi's everything, F-Archetype's 2C) are half screen at best.

that range does look ridiculous =02. Maybe there's some stipulation, like long startup time or something.

Also, Orie does an additional 2000 dmg after knockdown ?

I'm so maining Orie when this comes out, she looks awesome.

That would be because she got GRD Vorpal (damage bonus to whoever has more GRD points) just as her OTG combo started.

[Shadow5YA]

Orie looks like she should be in P4U.

I'm going to end up maining her or Vatista I think...

It's strange there is no announcement yet what platform will it be...At least I can't find it on the main site at any rate...

[Rayneing]

That's because it's only for arcades at the moment, a console/pc release would probably be announced sometime after it comes out in the arcades. I believe the arcade version is coming out on a Ring Edge cabinet.

[Shadow5YA]

I'm liking some of the alternate colors.

Spoiler for Homura:

Spoiler for GINGA BISHOUNEN!:

More pictures and info at http://inbirth.info/system.html

Can somebody translate some of those system mechanics?

[Rayneing]

Not sure if those colours are actually in the game because of April Fools, but it sure would be awesome.

[Shadow5YA]

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about April Fools day....

[Cosmic Eagle]

What's this Long Edge 2 that the first bit is saying will be the main platform? An arcade machine thing? Not for home use right?

And what...you can buy special features apparently...

I get the feeling it's an april fool joke though.

[Blue-kun]

It's their April Fools' Day joke. There's a long list of made-up DLC and they're poking some fun at the recent trend of having DLC for <everything>. Some DLC feature "awesome" effects such as "buy DLC to win a round", "buy DLC to rise in the rankings", "buy DLC to raise your win ratio", "DLC to activate Nico Nico style comments", "DLC that allows you to make any combo by pushing one button" and so on. Basically, they're making fun of the industry (and mainly Capcom who loves DLC).

My favourite one has to be the DLC that makes you win a round, though, and how you get the "IT WINS BY THE POWER OF GOLDEN" message, rofl. It's also worth nothing that the system is completely balanced, because your opponent can purchase a DLC that cancels your "win a round" DLC, and if he does that you can then buy a counter DLC that cancels their DLC that originally cancelled your win a round DLC. And he can buy a jammer DLC that will cancel your counter that cancelled his own DLC... well, you understand where it goes. Balanced with the power of golden. The one with more money wins!

Anywho, it was a pretty funny April Fools joke, as usual by French-Bread.

[Shadow5YA]

Ooh? "As usual"? What did they do for previous April Fools jokes?

[Shadow5YA]

They finally revealed the final character on the site: Hilda.

I heard that a Loketest is scheduled for early-mid June. I wonder if we'll see new character gameplay and voices.

Can't wait.

[Kirito]

It's been confirmed that the next loketest will be on Saturday, June 9-10th at 3 different locations. I wonder if that means new character demos, voices, stages, or tutorials of the game.

I'm so excited for next week, can't wait!

[Kirito]

The AOU 2012 Loketest that will take place in this Saturday and Sunday, June 9-10 respectively, have revealed two new characters being presented this week.

The next characters tested will be:

Spoiler for Merkava:

Spoiler for Vatista:

Still no news yet about Yuzuhira, Seth, and Hilda making an appearance. I will update when new information becomes available. But for now I'm excited to see two new characters being presented this week.

[Mura]

By those pics I can't say that Merkava is exactly human.

I would love to try Vatista, my hopes though are making Yuzuriha my main.

Here's some info about Merkava if you're interested.

Spoiler for Merkava Bio:

"A beast that only chases after the smell of its prey. Mayhap it merely devours everything."

Height: 210 cm
Weight: 71 kg
Birthday: ??/??
BloodType: ?
Ability: FLS of the Serpent, "Jormungandr"
Weapon: -----

A mysterious man(?) with an appearance that closely resembles that of a Void. With many who treat him as the ruins of what once was a "Re-Birth", an existence that surpasses the "In-Birth", and who have an interest in an existence that differs in such a way and being followed relentlessly by a woman who calls herself the "Twirling Darkness", the man with the appearance of a Void has recently been feeling a little annoyed.

Today's Under Night. With many In-Birth (ability users) having gathered, he senses the "Twirling Darkness" plotting something. Perfect.

He departs to the hunt, to the night where many In-Birth (food) have gathered. To satisfy the hunger of his body.

About Yuzuhira, there might be more info and gameplay on her this week considering the lack of news this game is getting. I'll keep an eye out for any new info regarding her for you.

[Kirito]

Here's some game mechanics and some Merkava and Vastita gameplay from the loketest event during this weekend.

Spoiler for System Mechanics:

- In the character select screen, "Start" brings up the color select menu. There are 10 colors to choose from. Changing character colors also changes the color of their effects.
- Double Jump, Air Dash are NOT basic moves for everyone. [Some characters have them though.]
- You can move before the round starts.
- There are directional attacks.
- AAA = Simple Combo
- There are Dash Attacks [With B and C only]
- Voice Actors still haven't been decided yet.
- Whiffing attacks B and stronger builds meter.
- If you do an Infinite Worth at the edge of the screen, you'll move to the center when it ends.
- You cannot kill with chip damage.
- EX Moves are not invincible. They also have a relatively short duration.
- You can roll when downed.
- ABCABC is a relatively easy to connect combo.

Here's some Merkava and Vastita gameplay. Footage is from a camera so keep that in mind.

Spoiler for Merkava and Vastita Footage:

All I can say about this game...looking good!

Can't wait to see Seth, Yuzuhira, and Hilda's next. Until then I hope you all enjoyed what you've seen.

[Shadow5YA]

Eh... the new UI seems like a downgrade from the previous ones. I thought those crooked HP and meter bars were pretty cool.
