Well it's about fucking time. The Terumi DLC not being available earlier was so stupid. Not that it really affected me, since I got a physical copy early and don't play Terumi anyway, but still!
Been playing a lot of this game lately, preparing for a tournament I'm going to this weekend in Halifax. Despite what my signature may show, I'm playing Rachel now. She is the most awesome. Planning to mostly stick with her until Evo, but we'll see what happens after the weekend.
Thinking about picking up Kokonoe and Terumi this week at least for their challenges (also do they show up in abyss mode or anything if you have them?).
Strangely, I've actually been considering picking up Noel. I didn't feel anything strongly towards her in the previous games, but the addition of the shotgun move and the new outfit and she feels like a new character. I'm actually having a ton of fun messing around with her.
Yeah, Noel is awesome in this game. I love how she uses her j.D to confirm air-to-air hits into ground combos, especially when she then does a 2D to cross back over the opponent.
I guess Noel's combos have always been pretty awesome, though.

I was incredibly apathetic towards Noel in the previous games as well, but I've warmed up to her a lot. Not for the same reasons you listed though. For some reason I just liked her more in story mode. Maybe it's because she seemed to have more of a personal struggle in this game than in the others.
Still not interested in playing as her though. I've built up a lot of resentment towards her drive (FREAKING INVINCIBILITY!)
Noel might end up as a replacement for Tao as my #2 character. I love that they increased Tao's air-game, but man do I hate that almost becoming two is now overdrive-only and all my muscle-memory combos from all the previous games are null and void with how much they changed the properties on her moves. I still enjoy the character, but it's very much a back-to-training-room moment for me with them.
Man Terumi and Kokonoe have some easier challenges than some of the regular cast pre #20 (but doing that Kokonoe Astral while getting bodied across the stage by Azrael was sure a thing)
-speaking of Terumi, his Astral is pretty interesting with what looks like black and green hakumen?

Apparantly it's "Dark Susano'o", but hell if I know where that comes from. Maybe it's from arcade mode or something cut from the story.

Could just be Terumi channeling the power of chaos as opposed to Jin using the power of order.
So I played some versus BBCP for the first time and finally got around to trying a bunch of characters. I... I think I like Mu-12? She seems really difficult to play, but damn if I don't love me some zoners. I had a lot of fun with Makoto, just because she has some pretty easy combos.
I've also been playing BBCP on Vita in story mode, but since that doesn't focus much on a character anyway, I've just been doing Stylish to see fun stuff, saving the serious play for stick anyway.

TWO NEW DLC CHARACTERS COMING THIS FALL (to arcades, and consoles afterwards most likely)
Lambda-11 is coming back, and will have a design based upon "Nu's Luna form". Her Drives will be different.
And... /drumroll.
Celica Ayatsuki Mercury, who played a main part in Chronophantasma's story mode, is becoming playable and will fight with Minerva, a puppet similar to Relius and Carl's

Long Story short: Terumi is in truth the original Susano'o. You know Hakumen's body? It originally belonged to Terumi ("So how's my body holding up for you, little Hakky?"). So he basically was what could be considered a "god" in the blazblue universe. However he wanted to rebel against the Master Control unit so he ditched his body because it was under its control, in a sense.
He made a partnership with Relius to gain his humanoid body which serves as his anchor in the world.
EDIT: Celica being made playable? Fuck this game, man...

Interesting that Celica is being billed as "new player friendly" when she is a puppet character. I wonder if her system will be closer to Persona or something, because puppet characters and new player friendly usually do not go hand in hand.
Why does Celica know how to fight? She spends literally all of story mode being near useless save for her ability to heal people. WHY ARE YOU NOT MAKING SENSE ARCSYS!?

When has Blazblue ever made sense?
idk, especially since they try SO hard to make sense with their little "teach me, miss litchi" segments.
I can't say I'm surprised, but I can say I'm disappointed.
I hope the next game isn't PS4 exclusive.
Well. BBCP has literally now gone through nearly the exact same pattern that BBCS did in terms of arcade/console releases and patches. This seems like it's going to be a thing.

Hakumen on the other hand is always awesome.

Speaking of such things, why does Jin possess the power of order, anyway?
NOL = Messian scum?
That's all I got.
Oh god.
I entered BB and USF4.

I am sure she will be at least somewhat different to avoid redundancy?

Is that Nine in the background? Please tell me they're stealth teasing playable Nine. I've wanted her (and Jubei) to be playable since game 1.
...or it could be random people from the Mages guild.

I hope so, anyway.

I don't get Relius' game, at all. He's playing with fire.
Might wanna grab that flashlight.
// Switch: SW-5306-0651-6424 //
I don't buy Jubei being dead, but damn was that a badass CG, and Nine's voice, brr. Why would she willingly kill Jubei?
Also, what was Taokaka doing the whole time, just eating lunch?
And the ending of S7, what did Relius 'teach' Valkenhayn? What was up with Arakune?
Too many dangling threads.
Celica @ 10:50. Magister City Ishana too!
Get Hype.
Also, they're being accompanied by another full-on balance and character patch.
// Switch: SW-5306-0651-6424 //
Celica Ayatsuki Mercury and Lambda-11 added as playable, more side story content, and probably all previous DLC included if looking at CSE as a guide.
....I guess I finally need that PS4 stick.

PS4, XB1, PS3, Vita.
Besides Celica and Lambda-11, they redid the Guard system yet again, and added more stages and more to Story mode.
