Spoiler for episode 5:
By the way. I think that in the new game more epic characters will appear for sure mostly because chiru is more battle related that the 1st part of umineko. and if we're talking about battles Will has to be in this new game too.

Hey, there's a video on Niconico Video showcasing beta footage for Erika and Dlanor.
You'll need an account to see it. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15323307

lol at Erika's sound novel sprite being used for specials.
I really hope that isn't kept.... But so far good job on them, I like that stage to. The meta world is freaking awesome I'm guessing they didn't change Battler too much sadly. Also, why is Dlanor in the backround when she's clearly in Erika's party? |

I actually kinda like the sprite from the novel being used during the special, though I can't really explain why.
Also, Erika looks too tall. Probably Dlanor too, although I didn't notice these things till the end when Erika was fighting. |

Considering there was a CG contest on Pixiv (it's over, as far as I'm concerned), they may even make new CGs for the already existing characters. But I don't know much about any of that, so don't take my word for it.

The main thing that had me wondering was:
Why is Dlanor not using two swords? She's only using her red key(The color is out but I am sure that it is the red key). I guess it's fine to make her so apparently slow, but didn't the novel say that her speed(in concerning her fight with Battler) surpassed human understanding? |

Oh ffff-! That Erika with her scythe gets me so damn excited for this. Definitely know who my main will be now. I think her specials as is are a little bland, but that'll be changed with effects and the like. (Though I do like those scythe flips...
Spoiler for EP8:

Regarding Dlanor, I'm not surprised how it went: I personally don't think she is supposed to be a quick combo fencer, well nothing similar to Kanon or Lucifer.
It has been a while I didn't read 5-6-8, but I'm pretty certain she counters *hard* leading to that blinding speed, it isn't like she is unleashing a barrage of strikes continously either. That said, her movement speed might be a bit low, but considering her damage, it is fair. Meanwhile, Erika is really nasty considering her early move sets: as far as I can see, she has an excellent range with little recovery frames for most, especially her low attacks with her scythes. What's even more noteworthy however is her special that can be used as a crossup, but the fact she has a -triple- jump. That's huge advantage, especially against characters lacking of good movements options and/or anti air. That and her EX cannon special dealing quite a huge chunk of damage... quite a violent special for nasty Okizeme. For those who don't want to bother with niconico, the video is on youtube:

I'm curious as to how the barriers work. Erika's flash-step doesn't impress me too much though, I don't think there's all that much need for that amount of aerial maneuvering. (I can see her sack race with Kannon though.)

In a game where no one can double jump except Eva Beato, being able to do that is a huge advantage, especially against characters such like Siesta, Lucifer, Virgilia and Eva with poor or unpracticable anti air.
Or do you mean her feint move that makes her appear airbone (similar to Nanaya's 22B)? Depends how long her recovery is, although it can really screw characters like Jessica.

I've always had trouble seeing those as anything but impractical, especially characters like Dio Sakuya in SWR, but I'll withhold my judgement until I actually get to play her. On another note, Dlanor has some insane knockback, looking at how she kicks around Flying Sorcerer Battler. My impression is that it's not that she won't NEED to combo, but that she simply won't be able to pull of long combo-stun-combo chains. (Which, in retrospect is probably pretty obvious, looking at her speed.) I wonder how beginner-friendly that makes her.

So from what I was able to decipher from the Google translation of Ryukishi's production diary:
~Over 300 illustrations were received for the Ougon Musou Kyoku 2 contest. ~He's still working on an official title for the second game. ~We should be hearing news on the voices for Dlanor and Erika soon. |
