[HILO OFICIAL] BlazBlue: Continuum Shift

System/Misc. Changes and Info:
* System announcer changed again evidently even worse w/r/t engrish.
* All characters' Counter Assaults have a gap added into them, making them hard to use.
* Meter increase penalty time increased, in other words, you get back meter much slower after you cause meter actions
* There is a single player mode called "Unlimited Wars", its pretty much the score attack mode but all your opponents are unlimited characters

Ragna
* BE's hitstop has changed
* increase in 6C's attack level(?)
+ 623C>236C follow up 236C does not cause a big wall bounce which make you will be able to combo after you land
+ 5B>3C>623C>236C>236C>land 2C>5D works
+ 22C does 600 damage
+ 6A faster, 5A 6B(maybe he means A) works on airborne opponent.
- Madao has no +f (can still manage to stuff mashing, but hard).
- 22C not very profitable to use in general
- 6A cannot gatling into anything anymore

Jin
* Apparently some badass named Tetsu is in the middle of a 40-win streak using this character. Jin seems very strong.
+ 2D starts up faster.
+ Yukikaze now does 3080 damage
+ 2D is slightly faster than previous loketests
+ j.B seems to be bit faster than CS, but slower than CT
+ 6A breaks primer and is +frames on block, IB neutral
- throw is not cancellable anymore, but you can combo with dash 6C and does something around 2000
- 623D seems to have the same move proration, combos with 2 623D's involved pretty much don't work anymore

Rachel
+ Overall damage has increased compared to CS (It's weaker than last loketest)
+ New gatling: 5B > 2B (Looping it is impossible)
- j.2C is not jump cancellable anymore.
- Actually harder to get damage now with the 5CC change.
- George has less life.
- j2C Lv2 bounces higher.

Noel
* Mashing midscreen into 4200 damage. Oh boy.
* From Summary (since there's nothing else for her):
This person as well didn't get any changes in this loketest.
She's only a little not terrible ("a little buffed" probably) but coming from CS she's still nowhere near powerful.
Whatever.

Hakumen
*Forward throw causes slide effect.
* All D moves: you get the 1 orb meter once you counter, but it doesn’t apply if you counter projectiles.

* Hotaru: kicks you to the wall with 45 degree and wall bounce. You can follow with 6C. At the corner you can do followup combo with full charge 6C. Near corner you can do Hotaru > 6C > 2C. (at near corner) Hotaru > 6C (full charge) > 5C > Gurren > 2C > blah blah does about 4700 – 4900 damage.
* Tsubaki: (at the corner) Tsubaki > 3C damage is about 2700. At near corner, Hotaku > Tsubaki combo lets you slide down to the middle of the screen. Tsubaki > Shippu (shockwave) combo works, damage is about 3334. (near corner) Tubaki > 2C > J2A > J2C > 2C > J2A > J2A > Jc > 5C > 3C does about 4600 dmg.

+ 4C: now cancellable to special moves. not sure about the proration at this moment.

Carl
* Brio's knockback trajectory travels farther.
+ jC knocks down.
+ Anima has armour, launches very high.
+ Volante has multi-hit armour for projectiles.
+ Cantata is quicker.
+ NEE-SAN~ moves faster.
+ 3C CH knocks down, foot attribute added.
+ 6A seems like it got an invincible period.
+ 5B seems stronger for some reason.
+ B Vivace is pretty much completely invincible except for throws now
- Throw damage is 600. Throw > Fermata damage is 1700.
- Volante has same move penalty.
- j.B is no longer a fatal counter
- Overall damage has been drastically reduced.
- 3C retains CS version's float property, but is also ground-techable.
- A-Vivace's invincibility frames are gone.

Taokaka
+ 5CH > 6C works
- 3C can only be cancelled with distortion drive (confirmation from previous loketest)
- 3C techable (maybe?).

Litchi
+ 4D slide down>release D>dash JB~ combos
+ you can combo ittsuu after throw, and you can follow up with CS combo afterward
+ 6D knocks opponent back, has wall bounce
+ 2C CH launches opponent high. Itsuu possible afterwards.
+ Chun has more untech time?
+ 6B has longer hitstop on guard for some bizarre reason, wall bounces airborne opponents even on normal hit.
+ Forward throw causes spin-down stagger
+ 6D wallslams/bounces only on airborne opponents.
+ 6D[m] on aerial hit makes opponent fly straight (?), causes wallbounce in corner
+ 6B[m] on aerial hit causes wallbounce. Return possible (followup possible?)
+ 6B[m]'s hitstop on guard is large. Heavy.
+ CH 6B[m] causes wallbounce (doesn't matter if aerial, needs verification)
- (something about 6A being able to inflict both stagger and bend-back state? person calls it a nerf although it could be a buff)
- Staff 6B and j.C both knock opponent back but do not wall bounce.
- Staffless j.C is ground techable.

Bang
* 5A is still good
- Daifunka's recovery is longer, can no longer be followed up.

Lambda
* Zwei Blade (236B) startup has returned to CS version.
+ Ground throw wallbounces if close enough to the corner.
+ jDD knocks down airborne opponent. Techable.
+ Calamity bounces on FC, can combo without meter.
+ Sickle will bounce aerial opponent multiple times, red-beats. Beats out jumps.
- 4B's first hit has enormous hit stop. Way more time to reposition yourself.
- after 214D normal hit, you can't combo with 5D, you can do dash 5B so it requires more reaction skill
- no invincibility for gravity move

Mu
+ 3C now jump cancelable, even on block
+ seems like D moves got some guaranteed frames
- 3C is techable again
- 6A has shorter untechable time
- J2C does not cause the knockdown, you need to RC to do the follow up combo

Makoto
+ 2A hits Tao's crawl.
+ 214A~B recovery reduced.
- j.2C's level has been reduced. Still a strong move though.
- Makoto's Big Bang Smash startup is slower. Still a strong move.

Valkenhayn
- Nacht Rozen no longer an overhead
- Throw > 2C no longer possible
- big nerf in combo damage, avg. 3k damage now
- 2C may have lost upper body invincibility.
- Wolf change cancel slower recovery. Harder to mixup with Nacht Jäger because of this.

Arakune
* Zero Vector lasts for about 6 seconds on the timer.
* curse combo still does 8000+ damage
* 6D is positioned slightly farther away.
+ j.6[A/B/C] has been returned to BBCS version.
+ f.g can used in combo to recurse opponent
+ mist is faster, but lasts shorter
+ 5A > 2A > 2A > 5A gatling added
+ Bird jump cancels (probably 6A/B/C) went back to CS1 in loketest
+ 5D air unblockable? (needs verification)
- slight increase in startup time before a warp.
- 6D falls faster.

Tager
* Appears ridiculously strong, according to information from Yuumura-sensei. Charged 6A is surprisingly useful.
+ 22D does 100 damage
+ 2C>3C added
+ B-Tager Buster connects with more characters. Rachel eats 4800 from a B-Buster and gives Tager oki, but was it like this in CS already? I saw Arakune picked up with Gadget Finger after B-Buster.
+ Backthrow launches opponent straight upward, easier to follow up after.
+ 3C recovery reduced.
+ j.2C CH causes knockdown, made slower, easier to follow up after.
+ Sledge followup has superarmor halfway through.
+ Can easily sneak 720 from 421B (lit. charge cancel)
- 2C > 4D gatling removed
- j.D magnetism pull weaker
- no follow up combo from regular throw

Hazama
* Misc: you can now do 5A (anti air) > 5C > 4D combo again. Can’t do 5A > 5C > 4DA > 4DD. 5B is new counter-assault motion.
* 236236B: proration is increased. Repeat proration is added. *Rumor: Somebody said its invincibility frame is all gone so IB > Jayoku is nearly impossible now but very possibly it's not true.
* 6A: knocks down on hit
* 6C: knocks down on air hit. No change on ground hit. Once air hit, knife binds you to the ground for certain frames. (way more fancier than Bang’s nails maybe?)
* 214DC: Effect on hit is now similar to CS. Only difference is an opponent is spinning at air once hit.
+ jyabaki causes the wall bounce when hit on air
+ thus, 3C>jyabaki>5C works in corner
+ mid screen combos are pretty much 3C>214DA or Jyayoku>214DC>6C>dash2B
+ A-follow-up recovery has been shortened, easier to use
+ Ouroboros recovers faster compared to the location tests, but still slower than CS.
+ Counter-Assault's animation is now 5B.
+ 5B: Attack lvl decreased. Looks like either - 2 or - 3 on block. Now Air Unblockable
+ 5C: Now Air unblockable
+ Forward Throw: Damage is increased to 1800. (WTF?) Now air untechable. It connects to DDs only (sounds like you can combo into 632146C too). Forward Throw > Jayoku now works at the field too.
+ Back Throw: Damage is increased to 1800. You can do followup combo with J6D to all characters.
+ Air Throw: Ground bounce on hit. You don’t need J2D to do the follow up combo.
+ 236D: Slides down on hit. Wall bounce at the corner.
+ 236C: you get 5% of meter gauge once hit
- attack level of chain moves decreased
- DOES NOT get back stocks when opponents blocked chain
- chain faints have shorter stun time, faster
- All D moves: Damage is decreased. Damage proration is increased. Startup is faster now. Hit-stun is still a lot less than CS. DA cancel is still faster than CS. 4DA > 4DD is still possible with very strict timing. No Ouroboros gauge back on block. You require more time to get the gauge back automatically.
- 3C: 214DC only connects on counter hit. You have no way to connect lvl 2 214DC
- JA: not jump cancellable anymore
- JC: Only first 2 hits are jump cancellable.
- 214DA: you can’t do any followup combo with lvl 1 hit. Knocks down on air hit.
- 623D: You have now less time to do followup combo after this hits. Not sure the reason (maybe because more recovery?)

Tsubaki
+ 5B is stronger, can be used as anti air.
+ 22C > 214D is possible.
+ j214 bounces off opponent on block, harder to be counterattacked.
+ 6A has less proration.
- 2C has less upper-body invincibility. You can get hit out of it before it even comes out. Still a strong move.
- j214D is mid, was high in previous loketest.
- j.D's charging speed is the same as it was in CS1.
- Tsubasa follow-up has a sharp angle, difficult to hit with.
- D-wings knocks opponent directly down for a slide down, but D-Hikari won't hit some characters.
- 3CC can float opponents high, but cannot be followed up if Tsubaki has no gauge.

Platinum
* Appears unchanged since last location test.
* Has 5 Guard Primers
* Air dash animation is Platinum riding her staff like Cardcaptor Sakura. Hang time on the air dash is long. If she and another character air dash and attack at the same time, it might be possible for her opponent to hit her afterward before she lands.
+ Dash is pretty far.
- Either j2C or Frying Pan has more proration.
