Looks like new Blazblue character has been spotted.
Shin Oni \| 1:50 AM on 09.23.2009	25 comments

Remember hearing about Europeans getting Blazblue in 2010? well...this isn't that. This is about a Loketest test going down in Japan I believe the end of this week. Why? for that new BB patch to nerf the ever so hated top 3 (well for me just Nu and Arakune...ok Arakune.) oh and Carl's getting something done to him too. not sure what though. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if everyone got some type of nerf/buff this patch. Seems right. but skip that bit for a moment. New character spotted

dustloop forums. we saw it. post is here it's Tsubaki. It's not Kokonoe so i'm not all that excited. but if her playstyle interests me, i'll try her out. Though...

Put this bitch in and i'll drop Hakumen quick. Get to it Aksys.

EDIT: another pic...better look at the new HUD (ugh I guess...)

UPDATE More Tsubaki screenshots here

apparently she's beginner friendly and does multi-hits...

I'll try to update on this as I see more stuff on Dustloop.

found the post with the most things on what's going on here Copy pasta from the post:

Note: Stages are redone, championship edition style

Also note: Lack of character portrait implies they've either redone the art... or it's just not implemented yet. Meters such as Arakune's Curse Meter, Bang's Nail counter and the Burst meter seem to be missing currently.

Tsubaki is a multi-hit character, beginner friendly
Arcade version will feature an optional beginner mode (Easier moves, combos, etc.) [/i]

Everyone getting new moves
New projectile for Carl.
More ways for Arakune to curse! We're off to a good start
New Distortion Drive for Rachel (Could replace the old one, but probably not)
New dive... looking... thing for Ragna

This makes me insanely happy.
I don't know why it does, seeing as Arakune is getting nerfed, but it does and that's good enough.

Fruity headgear is fruity.

MatCD

Bottom right part of picture looks like a UI update. Don't know what I think about the new look, need to see it in motion before I decide on whether I like it or dislike it.

Also that headgear would be better if it were a fruit basket.

covah

NICE

covah

And quite honestly I don't think Kokone will be fighting any time soon. She's a friggen scientist.

Aksys has done weirder though...

Dan CiTi

Where's Jubei? :/

Diverse

@Covah: Isn't Litchi technically a scientist though?

Gen Eric Gui

@Diverse: If I'm not mistaken, Litchi is supposed to have been there when Arakune broke through the barrier to the underworld or whatever, and she got some of the power too just from being close to the time/space tear. She's also a martial artist, which Kokonoe isn't.

Anyway, looking good to me. As long as we get the updates, everything in hunky-dory.

CharlieKun

woot! Hope its more than 1 character tho. give us 3 more arcSys!

Shin Oni

yea I would hope more characters are to follow. At least 1 more hero and a surprised character.

So far though this is a Arcade only update but I won't be surprised if this is what Europe is getting later anyway.

Shin Oni

another pic added.

after looking at the interface now, it looks goofy. plus I personally liked the character portraits being shown. (I assume that'll make a return...i'd hope.)

Rachel seems to have something new (probably new super)

Naim Master

@gen eric gui
Litchi doesn't actually have any supernatural powers, her magic comes from her panda headgear...

THIS IS VERY FUCKING RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS

TheCleaningGuy

Neat, but this just tells me I need to beat story mode, since I have no idea what happens to Tsubaki. Nice find Shin! (Still holding out for Kokonoe, Jubei, and maybe Hazama, though)

Chris Carter

Only another week or so until I get it from Goozex!

BulletTrain

So long as NU eats a big fat nerf and Tager is left alone I will be alright.

NU is broken as can be.

TheCleaningGuy

In regards to the second paragraph, when you say it could be another NOL person, it's not, it actually says "Tsubaki" on the page! :)
Also, new Rachel Drive? Excellent.

Shin Oni

yea that was from last night before I actually went through the thread i'll change that lol

Zoel

Please give me a boost to Carl. Makes my Friday night fights much easier.

Dan CiTi

I imagine that all this isn't final at all. Heck, the HUD itself might change a bit from this(I hope, I like the overall look but it definitely doesn't look like a finished product). It's cool that Tsubaki is in there, I just hope the next one is Jubei. All these new moves, drives, music, stages, and properties sound good and fun but let's hope they step up on the animation too.

The more I look at it, the more the HUD bothers me. It looks like so much wasted space, the barrier meter just looks out of place and the entire top port looks out of place with the whole thing. The Heat meters could use some work too.

Shin Oni

I can tell the portraits are supposed to be there but aren't. so I figure that whole HUD is a beta HUD. seeing the original had a Beta HUD that kinda looked the same but changed enough to work.
