Dogura's (Beast Azrael) thoughts on the upcoming patch. Really agree with him on some things here.

Also the Jin, Bang, Azrael and Hakumen proposed changes are up. Could still be more for them though.

That Azrael buff isn't really much. Just gives you one or two new combo routes in using OD as a comeback method which isn't that reliable in itself. Figured they'd keep him the same.

Jin getting away with murder and Hakumen still going to have mental damage off OD confirms.

Makoto's still dead. Kagura looks a bit more enticing now, his new C stuff might make him a bit more May-ish. Most of the changes seem fine.

Naphiel · 13-02-2014 6:46pm

Valk gets a pat on the back.
Azrael got nothing but buffs? He didn't even need them.

Era of Tao, Valk and Rachel incoming.

Voa · 13-02-2014 8:02pm

10 heat was a little too much, I can understand that.
Not sure what combo starter time refers to? Is it just the start up?
Fatal j2C, hopefully identical from all heights. Feels good.

Also, 3C buffs. I can get behind this.

Xinkai · 13-02-2014 10:11pm

Guys big news Calamity Trigger just came out on Steam!

Kappa.

Linoud · 14-02-2014 8:30am

Fk that. D-dp buffs inc. Reign of Ragna forever. GG FC D DP starters.

It'll happen. Soon.

Naphiel · 15-02-2014 3:00pm

Those changes aren't the complete btw.

And Orim is the first person out of the running for the Chrono Phantasma Release Date Pool! That's what you get for having faith in Zen and Arc.

Looks like Zen United is dead.
Their store is gone too.

Kuro is actually the closest person to that release date if it holds up =P

Is it possible to even gift games on PSN?

Scavenger XIII · 17-04-2014 11:27pm

Eh what, Zen are gone? This changes everything! I demand a recount! :pac:

I'm going to run a pool for guesses on when the game officially launches in Ireland (not when they announce a date - when it is available on store shelves). You can choose the first half or second half of any month from now until the heat death of the universe. Each half-month can only be chosen by one person, so first come first serve.

And there's actual prizes!

If you guess the correct half month of the game's release you will get a Limited Edition copy of the game. If no one guesses right I will give the closest guess a Standard Edition copy. If two people are tied for closest they can have a first to five in some game to decide a winner.

Technically I never specified Zen, but I did say Store Shelves so it is referring to physical copies, not digital. :pac:

I think it's still pretty safe to give Kuro the win if this date holds up.

Also, from the Zen BB Facebook page:

April 16th: At the moment we haven't heard anything about Arc's plans to release Chronophantasma in Europe. If that changes, we will of course update you on that here

Ouch. Talk about being kept out of the loop. I guess Zen aren't gone, they just weren't told ArcUSA are publishing this one in EU?

Xinkai · 18-04-2014 1:55pm

NVM Sairus post didn't load until after the screen refreshed.

Until the online store is updated, Zen are selling through funstock.

I completely forgot about this!

Is this due out on Vita anytime?

1.1 is out this Wednesday. (Japanese copies)

Due out in June in America. Out now in Japan. No idea about a European release date.

Sometime this week as well for American users. Since Europe isn't Zen United this time it should probably be sometime this week or next.

But more importantly, TK Sentinel dump and Orgia dashes.

Naphiel · 14-05-2014 2:42pm

Been messing around with the new patch this morning with a various few characters. Just going to post what I think of the changes so far.

Ragna
Bug fixes on GH and OD Dead Spike.
Little bit more damage in the corner. Mostly the same.

Jin
Slight nerfs to overhead but you only lose like 300 damage midscreen and 500 in the corner. Punishable on block now. Still fast.

Azrael
Access to TK Sentinel Dump. Allows for more options off midscreen rekka.
OD drive special cancels allow for more damage in comeback situations but nothing huge.
More reliable hornet bunker follow up. (low weakpoint)

He's going to be really strong simply because he got slight buffs and his bad match ups got nerfed.

Hazama
J.C completely changed. No more loops. Means he doesn't get as much corner carry or choice as to where to put you on screen.
Dash cancel on stance still means he has combo options without meter outside standard knockdown or knockback like before.
Reversal Houtenjin nerfed for like the 50th time.

Tager
Loses 5A > 5B > 5C. Can just go into 3C but no slight extension with magnetism.
Less meter gain overall?
Backdash always airborne. Weird for punishes.

Rachel
Pretty much the same. Air proration changes going to hurt her but she's still really good.

Same as Azrael. Bad matchups nerfed.

Hakumen
RIP OD.
He's nerfed overall but will occasionally just randomly do 7K with 6 stock or so.
Magatama gain much slower in the air.

Tsubaki
Projective no longer a charge move. Allows for better hit confirms and not messing up punishes.
6C worse on block.
More consistent fatal punishes.

Taokaka
6C slower start up (Fine in combos) and less active frames.
Drive hitbox starts up slower.
Backdash longer.
Command hop slightly slower.

Valk
Can do less off his fastest wolf overheads. Only really cannons.
Builds less wolf guage in combos and overall. Consumes less as well. Slightly more damage across the board.
Backdashes nerfed. (13 frames to 22) Big deal.

Mostly still intact honestly. Harder hitconfirms to keep a good control on wolf guage but he'll still be strong.

Relius

HCF B made more reliable off most hitconfirms.
Backdash nerf (same as Valk).
Slight proration nerfs.

Bullet
Her normals got a lot better. 5A has a better hitbox. 2B 5C now connects. 5C charged is +1. Lets her be more creative with pressure.
Full 720 (5K damage) is now 50 meter and 2 heat.

Much more solid character overall.

Haven't got to spend much time with other characters. Playing a fair bit of Izayoi and might do a more in depth write up later. Honest characters seem to do be doing a lot better this patch and I like that way more than before.

Saltylicious · 14-05-2014 4:57pm

Terumi 100 meter taunt combo too strong.

Naphiel · 14-05-2014 5:16pm

I think I can get like 5k off Izayoi taunt. Maybe more if I actually learn some Trans-am and OD stuff.
They also took my Terumi combo out of the game. Got bodied.

Actually really liking the patch a lot more than I thought I would. Can't wait to get some games in. Saturday?

Saltylicious · 14-05-2014 5:34pm

yeah definitely, fox will be there too.
Time to relearn all the stuff again, also more Kagura.

Stormwrench · 14-05-2014 5:48pm

100 meter taunt combo, what?

Saltylicious · 14-05-2014 6:04pm

It's because of his new super you can get it.
