BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma

[Kayarine]

- Both Nu-13 and Mu-12 are playable
- Mu's Overdrive is Steins Gazer (Geyser?), it makes her lasers faster
- Her AH got new animation
- Story mode: Noel wishes to control the power of the Azure to save Tsubaki and turns into Mu thanks to Rachel's powers. She's still the same old Noel inside.
- Nu's Overdrive is Unlimited Drive, which increases the amount of swords summoned (like in her Unlimited version?)
- New move, Supra Rage. Nu does a backflip and strikes with her legs, making this a good anti-air move that also gives her some distance.

It should also be noted that Nu seems to be a mode change character now. The scan posted earlier has a screenshot of the mode change, and the caption for it is "when she changes to battle mode, her specials change as well"

BBCP arcade opening:

Cheer Kaya, might want to post that over at Mayonaka as well.

I do wonder how the mode chance stuff will work.

So, she's the Aigis of BBCP.

This is all working out extremely well.

I guess you're really happy now?
I know I am, this makes me reconsider who I'll end up maining, do I stick with Tager, will I promote Lambda/Nu or will I pick up Bullet?
I don't know, we'll see.

Looks pretty good from the arcade opening.

If I'll ever get the game. I'll stick all the way to Noel <3

[Kurayami]

Was hoping they'd include Kappa-10. Oh well </3

[Stevie]

why does this game really interest me xD

[Cookies]

So basically she's just a stance character now?

I'd hope not. I was hoping it would work more like Cecil in...

Oh...

Not good.

Ah well. I main Ragna/Jin/Noel anyways.

Does anyone recognize the character shown at 1:10? My first assumption was that I was imagining things and it was just Tsubaki, but a second look at it made it clear that this is not a character I recognize.

Also, the numerous clips featured at 1:23 are all new images, besides ones featured in previous updates in BBCP news. In order (I may have missed one or two, apologies if I failed to notice any)

Valkenhayn and Relius (with Ignis behind him, naturally) are featured, with Valkenhayn appearing to be injured. Relius has his hand up, kinda looking like he's making an offer or demand to Valkenhayn.

A generic image of Azrael surrounded by a red aura/energy. I think this was in the first trailer.

An image of Bullet I know was in the first trailer.

This one is pretty deeply interesting to me. It shows one of those flashback-esque images with the color faded and a white light background, and a hand reaching out to a group of people walking away. One of the figures has a ponytail that makes me want to say he's Valkenhayn, but I don't recognize the other characters...and Valkenhayn doesn't have a ponytail in his youth, so my only theory as to why he'd be in this image is shot immediately. One of the figures shown isn't walking away, but rather facing the person that isn't shown properly in the image, with his/her hand up. Given the gloves and the outfit of the characters, I think this has to do with Ikaruga's ninjas (the whole image screams "ninja" to me). I suspect that the rest of the characters are either abandoning the figure raising their hand, or just beat the character near death.

Bang is confronting Relius. This one was really hard for me to notice because it flashes by very quickly and is followed by a flash of white before changing to focus on the next images.

...Tsubaki? The girl I asked about at the beginning of this post? It's zoomed in and I can't make out much of this at all. The person depicted is most certainly a red-haired female, however.

An image of Noel. I can't make out much that wouldn't simply come with the full package of "It looks like Noel is transforming to Nu here".

Platinum. I think Amane is in here too. It's hard for me to tell, it could just as easily be the Phantom. My first impression of the image was that it was just of Platinum, it took a few more attempts to pause at the right time so that I could see the right side of the image without the visual effects distorting it.

A close-up of Litchi, rather reminiscent of the one in CT when she finds Ragna and Arakune. It looks like she's on top of someone again, but this one is really close up, probably a view-point of the character she's on.

A rather action-oriented image of Jin wielding Yukianesa out in front of himself. Jin looks a little young in this picture, but it's probably just the artstyle. I think there's something behind him, but I can't really tell for sure.

The image of Rachel and Kokonoe that was featured in the first trailer. Calling it again, this one is important.

Overall, looking at these images, it seems obvious that Relius is going to be pretty important here. I think he may even be responsible in part for the war with Ikaruga, given his image with Bang, though Bang might just be calling him out on his neglect for Carl. I do wonder what Relius is up to with Valkenhayn though...it would be interesting to see what exactly he's up to here.

We're clearly going to learn a lot about Ikaruga in this installment. I have to say that Ikaruga and Bang are shaping up to be surprisingly important here...what interests me most, however, is that image I suspect is of a group of ninjas. If Amane is related to Ikaruga, he might have something to do with that, though I can't remember whether this has been confirmed or not...at any rate, BBCP is shaping up to be really interesting. It has been for a while, and certainly, it does not look like it will disappoint in the slightest.
