Usually BB loketests go

First wave "wahhhh everyone got nerfed so hard"

Second "wow... I can't believe they gave my character that"

Third "why did they take it away!?"

Fourth "My character is destroyed!" *ends up A tier*

But...Tager never ended up A tier

Spoiler

At least, I don't think so.

Well, he at least got buffs. I don't think anyone considered him destroyed like Hazama and Hakumen during loketests

Also, so cute

Arcsys loketests are usually really wild. I saw some stuff of the old BB ones and the recent Persona ones and yeah. It's a fun time for a laugh though.

 

[Papercuts]

Tager:
- 6B not overhead anymore.

why

 

[Uraizen]

Eh, I'm done staring at twitter for the night. You guys can add more if anything pops up.

 

[Pics_nao]

Hey Mori, keep all these Izayoi buffs.

Thanks, Pics

I think if they actually launched the game with this version of the loke test it would probably end up being the worst version of BB since CT :lol

Praying that the famitsu changes are just the ones they know they want to keep and these changes are just them screwing around.

Looks interesting. Can't wait to see how the character develops.

 

[QisTopTier]

Katou: "Balance change" might be the wrong word to describe it... Instead of averaging the strengths and weaknesses of each character, we aimed to expand the individuality of each character and how it feels to play with the characters.

lol

 

[Uraizen]

Seriously, though, is anybody legitimately happy with any of their character's changes from the non-famitsu notes?

I wouldn't worry about it, honestly.

I'm not worried, I'm just wondering how much they'll be blasted when they listen to the feedback from players, lol.

Japanese companies tend to not care that much on feedback. They usually just use loketests to see glitches or get ideas on what to change from just watching. Rarely ever do they take actual input from players from what I hear.

Well that's not very nice of them. I thought it was only the western players they don't care about.

 

[Shouta]

Got some new info on Bullet. Apparently, she can cancel a hit 5D into Miquelet Capture or Snap Hands Fist. So when she's in the corner, she can now go from 0 Heat to 2 Heat without using meter and for decent damage.

 

[Kikirin]

I'm relatively pleased with Amane's changes so far

Spoiler

and with the negative changes to the stronger characters

- 5d being special cancellable on block is pretty huge, as it is one of the moves that covers his B/C blind spot and was a dead end for blockstrings before. I'd be fine with losing some of its Lv 3 craziness for this.

- I'm kinda indifferent to the added attack to Hariken. It's nice that it's plus on block and can go into combos, but who's gonna sit there patiently at point-blank range through the entirety of Hariken drill's startup? And I doubt they'd improve its startup since that could lead to easier Lv 3 drills.

- His reversal super's input being changed to 236236d is a welcome change, too.

 

[Prototype-03]

*looks at Terumi's changes*

lol

 

[Shouta]

So looking at most of the Bullet changes. She's actually buffed overall, from what I can tell. D being special cancelable is MASSIVE and she has better options for combos now from midscreen. Getting pokes into D leads to bigger damage without Heat as well because you can go into Sheer or Capture to follow-up.

 

[Mdesilva]

I just want a better dash ;-;

 

[Curry-Hakase]

Who is this Katou and what did they do with Pachi?

It's funny hearing everyone cry about how nerfed she is. I'm looking forward to seeing new zanny mak stuff too

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Noel:
- 236D doesn't wallbound anymore
- 236C works different on hit now
- You lose air inertia as soon as you press j.D
- 236A harder to follow up afterwards.

 

[The Yo Tornado]

The thing I'm more curious about is Tager comboing after his buster in the second vid at 2:50.

Well that changes everything

So if I'm understanding right, the intention is for her to have a harder time getting that hit, but when she does it's gonna hurt like hell?

Basically more of the same but more dramatic, she also can get 2 heat in one combo now because of this

Yeah, I'm not sure how to feel about it personally tho. It certainly is way more help than what they did for 1.1 at least.

It's from dustloop. I didn't see the post saying OMG DONT SHARE MY SHIT so go ahead here is the original post though.

Ah, OK. Gonna send it to my fellow bullet player! lol

 

[SolarKnight]

Mu
- 6B faster, only special cancellable

Well there goes my main way of going into tachi combos

 

[QisTopTier]

The first hit isn't overhead anymore either. She literally has no way of doing tachi combos anymore outside of spending meter on cancels.

 

[SolarKnight]

...what the fuck is the point of 6B anymore outside of combo filler then

 

[SpaceDrake]

Well, he at least got buffs. I don't think anyone considered him destroyed like Hazama and Hakumen during loketests

Legitimately disappointed it doesn't turn her into a nun, actually. (Also is Lambda's the same as Nu's?)

Anyway, Lambda actually sounds pretty neat. I like the sound of what they've done to her D - the constant inputs felt needlessly fiddly on Nu, even if Lams can't cancel them (though this may be my inner scrub talking

). Looking forward to trying the console version!

 

[Rhapsody]

Good. Now I don't have to deal with netplay Mu's mixup of full screen dash into grab or 6B.

 

[QisTopTier]

Now you only have to deal with Lambda and Nu's that do it!

Why would she turn into a nun? That's not the "same" Celica

 

[cj_iwakura]

Tsubaki:
- 6C no longer jump cancels.
- 22[D] not a unblockable.
- j.214D overhead now.

YOU HAD ONE JOB, MORI!

 

[Prototype-03]

Wasn't it blockable in CP1 also?

 

[cj_iwakura]

Wasn't it blockable in CP1 also?

Yes. It's like salt on the wound. I thought it was back to being unlockable for a brief, shining moment.

 

[shaowebb]

So wait...I'm trying to learn Bullet and she's about to get buffs to go into heat 2 easily and get big meterless damage?

Welcome to BB! No harm in learning her basics now, who knows when we'll get 1.2 here.

Maybe, loketest are major what ifs when it comes to arcsys

SURPRISE!

It's a loketest. You'll get no damage, no oki, no heat up in the final revision.

Welcome to BB.

 

[Uraizen]

So not much else found since last night, uh? Ah well, was hoping to see more Izayoi, Kagura, or Terumi changes.

 

[Anne]

Does anybody remember the BB loketest where Jin shot two ice swords or the Persona loketest where Liz was killing everything? :v
