Will yall stop jumping to conclusions about Leon? We won't know till the end so just wait. For all we know he could be in the next trailer.

We're not jumping to conclusions. He's been cut, end of story.

Have you worked at Team Ninja? No so shut your kuchi. (it means lips by the way)

Don't look now, but you're unwittingly insinuating a flame war when nothing bad is really happening here.

Im sorry but I cant let them just straightly say "Leon not in the game". That dont fly. And no this is not a flame war, they should know what I mean...

Yup looks like it.. And Mr.Wah are they supposed to reveal any characters tomorrow?

O ok thanx. I cant wait for this game..

So Christie has one more option with her 6k string (6k4k), and her triple-kick string can be canceled to a DF sidestep string on the second kick now.

It also looks like her main launcher of choice in 4.0 - 4f+k - has rebound capabilities on a juggled opponent?

Glad to see Bayman's 6KP is still a juggle reset. I'm suprised Ryu got his Sho-Izuna back or whatever the hell it is called without the ninpo lol. Team Ninja looked a little lost with him though. Didn't even see anything put them in red life.

I got it! They want him to look weak so they can super buff him at the last second! Hahaha. Then again if he still has a 10 frame Izuna he doesn't need much else.

Christie's normal low hold has always been a launcher, and I thought universal advanced holds applied only to mids to begin with... or are you just pulling my leg?

Either way, if Christie really was as bottom-tier as DrDogg implied in the past build, I don't blame them for having that normal low punch hold retained. It at least gives folks one more thing to fear about Christie other than her evasive potential. I mean, if people have to fear the instant limbo stun Bayman has now...

I think he meant more along the lines of "So far all counters that previous launched have been turned into Advanced Counters, but Christie has retained her launch counter as a normal counter still."

Ryu's izuna holds were advanced hold inputs thus it was assumed all launcher type holds would be advanced holds.

Good question, but with all due respect, it's far from the subject here, which is discussing the characters currently in this balance test footage.

You could make a topic about it though, if it doesn't already exist.

Well Hitomi's was a mid advanced hold which he said in his post he thought advanced holds were only mid. I simply used Ryu as an example because they were used outside of mids.

awsemic has an awsem avatar... just sayian
That charged attack that christie does, thats a strike with a throw combo followup right? like Tina's one from K. Nice. Christie also seems to be shaping up as DOA5s most mobile character. How fast are her transitions out of Snake Stance? could you use the backwards motion of a snake stance, cancel it into backstep/sidestep and then into the stance again? I would dig that.
ps... i really like the techno beat they play in these Tougeki vids. i hope that track is in the game somewhere too
