He does have his CE too.

Seriously though, his 4B (sway backwards and then stab) is annoying.

I will admit to using both of those a fair amount. Maybe I'll upload some videos and people can point out how scrubby I am with him (or maybe I'll use someone else entirely!).

I expect the Legendary Souls Nightmare, Siegfried, and possibly Cervantes models to be released at some point.
As for balance, while I think Natsu (and Maxi) will be getting nerfed, I really hope it doesn't go beyond a damage reduction. Both characters are a lot of fun to watch as currently constructed. I'd also like to see some of the magic removed from Leixia's 22_88B BE. That move does too many things well, IMO.
Other than that, I hope it's a matter of bringing up the weaker characters and leaving everyone else the hell alone.

I hope Viola's damage output is increased, seriously.

I hope they finish Aeon and give him the rest of his moveset.

It's hard to judge from the translations, but it sounded like the DLC store was going to be in the character creation section. So probably just more outfit pieces.
Nobody cares about Aeon.

Do we know when details will be announced regarding the balance patch?

Baffling moment of the day:
I beat some guy's Cervy. It wasnt' especially good and he had no idea how to defend against Maxi anway.
"That's bullshit! Anyway, good game."
I say nothing since his cognitive dissonance canceled his statement out.
"People in this room are assholes! I say GG, and nobody says anything back!"
I told him he can't call my play BS then expect a GG, and he went out screaming.

Shit like this is why I'm so unlikely to play a game online if I can't turn off voice chat.
That should be a system level feature on PS3.
patch coming in on 3/21, seems rather fast this time around

sorry it's a japanese article, but it mentions rank match, bugs and the dreaded balance fixes

The game's only been out for month, which character(s) seem that good right now?
Natsu's getting nerfed isn't she?
She could use a damage nerf.

The new trailer for the 3/21 balance patch showed a lot of things... Over 240+ tweaks/changes. There will be a change log sometime next week.
In the video, you can see Natsu's WS+K get punished by Leixia's CE.
For the April 3 and beyond customization DLC you see a sneak peak at the in game store AND... custom guest parts of King, Xiaoyu and Jin from Tekken <3

I think streams are usually archived on Twitch so you can probably rewatch it later.

Every single time I get happy about balance patches, the characters I play with end up getting nerfed. I'll cross my fingers for now.
Mitsu's 4B pretty much wrecks Viola. He didn't even use it much but just the threat of it screws up Viola's game.

I took a screen cap of the trailer when they listed the equipment packs but I guess tinypic is banned. Anyways:
-Classic Headgears 1
-SCV Character Equipment 1
-Maid Costumes 1
-Active Wear 1
-Ancient Armor 1
-Modern Costumes 1
So it seems like there's gonna be a bunch more of this stuff to come.

Now that the stream is archived, the DLC loop starts around 4:41:30 in the 9h recording.
I'm liking the return of several Voldo & Nightmare headgear pieces and the idea of making a Pyrrah Omega that looks just like Regular Pyrrah.
I also saw an official looking King and regular Jin outfit.
There was a Xiaoyu costume too.

Jin and Xiayou make sense because you can slap them on Devil Jin and Leixia's movelists. But I figure most people are gonna throw King onto Devil Jin and that would suck. He'd look good with Rock's movelist, though. :-(
Here's the youtube trailer for those that missed it--

Some changes that you can tell off the bat:
- Pyrrha's 236B stab seems to be launch punishable on block. Currently it's -16; unsafe, but just under pretty much all launchers in the game. I suspect it might be -18 or -20 now.
- Natsu's WR K got punished by Leixia's CE.

Good. Her 236B recovery was BS.
"It's punishable!"
*tries to punish*
JG!!!! LOL!
Now all they need to do is make her 66B not hit grounded.

Because it's annoying to me. Isn't that how these balance requests work?
