Titles needs to change to Chrono Phantasmagoria.

It sounds way cooler.

Doctor DooM

An air 360?

If I could be bothered with this game overall, sounds like fun

I gave this a wee spin yesterday because I totally could. :pac:

It took an hour of queuing for 5 minutes of having no idea what I was doing with Bullet, but it was fun enough. The game feels basically no different from the basic CS formula. The people ahead of me were comfortably doing long BnBs with a half dozen characters from the second they sat down.

They did make one massive change though that was pretty surprising: The announcer actually sounds like she can speak English. No more Caruru Crover!
She does slip up with "Look at time!" when the clock runs to 10 seconds, but close enough I guess.

I made a bunch of notes about the differences I noticed, but Dustloop have a pretty good list of changes and whatnot going up here that covers much of what I saw: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?14675-BBCP-System-Changes-Movelist-Translations-and-Loketest-Information-Anything-Else-INFRACTION

Out of the three new guys I liked the look of Amane the best. It's interesting the way all his normals are extreme close range, but his specials all have massive range, but whiff up close. It looked like he has a bit of a floaty jump.
His D involves charging a cloth gauge which powers up his ground drill attacks. All D attacks build up this gauge which slowly drains continuously.

I didn't like using Bullet at all. Her D creates a ring around her, if the opponent steps into this a target reticle appears on the opponent. Releasing D lets you launch a really fast dash attack. If it hits she Heats Up, which allows her to do follow up commands onto her specials and enhances all her D stuff. She moves like Makoto but is all command grabs and dash attacks that trigger a throw animation if they hit.

Azrael seems a bit weird. I didn't see much of him. When he hits the opponent with certain moves he creates high/low weak point indicators. He can modify his specials by adding direction inputs if the opponent has weak points.
I also saw him do something where he did a massive focus attack of some sort. He absorbed a dozen hits from a fireball and an attacking character with no damage or hit stun by doing a taunt looking move where he glowed red. I've seen a few notes about him having a fireball counter, so maybe this is it?
He also has a sick teleport dash that can go through opponents.

Overdrive as an X-Factor analogue doesn't really bother me too much. The fact that it lasts longer at low health (around 5 seconds at full health, 15 at low) is a bit worrying, but the fact that it costs you your bursts, which are so precious in BB I think it's kind of a good trade off.

Yeah thats his fireball counter. on startup it hits away opponents near him and this nullifys most projectiles in the game. if he does he can fire a projectile back with his own command. Its been coined the raoh stance for the way he looks during it

Well, well, well...

According to someone on Facebook

Noel willingly becomes Mu thanks to rachels powers to try and save Tsubkai.
Thats just stupid
Nu apparently is hinted at having mode changes and Her drive is known as "Unlimited Drive"(Really?) rumour is it swords like her unlimited mode. new move which is good for anti-air apparently.
Mu also has a new astral that isn't ass...literally

Don't know where he got the info. I'm not interested enough to actually go check :pac:

chopperbyrne

Noel is Mu at the end of Continuum Shift anyway.

What's stupid is putting regular Noel back in the game.

Doctor DooM

...ankles.

In fairness, they didn't start talking all Japanese & proudly showing off the VAs for all their silly characters!

So what the whole debate is that they don't have feet or that they Hover and it has't been explained?

Voa

No ankles.
Not a debate, just a fact.

Doctor DooM

Yeah, the human foot does not bend that way for an extended period of time, and even if it did where's the heels gone?

Most plausable answer: These people have no ankles, and are horrible abominations.
