At the very least, we are getting something better than what we got 364 days before February 14, 2012. MvC3, I am looking at you

Tsubaki laughs at her puny nerfs, much like Wolverine did in UMvC3.

Extend is coming to PSP (kind of redundant if you ask me), and they're releasing a special double pack version that comes with a second copy of the game and a manual, at a small additional fee, to make up for PSP's lack of online so you have a second copy for friends and family. Currently, and probably will stay, Japan only.

Arc should have focused on a proper 3DS version instead, to make up for the 3DS version of BBCSII being a rushed out horrible port of the PSP version. Oh well, at least a sexy new piece of BB artwork came out of it, to be used as the boxart.

Agreed. Making a PSP version of Extend is a waste of time in Arc's end, and if they do another 3DS version, they better use the Vita version as the base this time instead of the PSP version.

I pray to god that the PSP version better stay Japan only, as it is pretty much dead here in America.

Arc released a teaser for some BB spin-off do out later this year. All info for it was Mori said it's the first of the "Adventure Project." No other details were given.

This is how I would play Tager...if I had CSE-

HK & BG BBCSE Ranbat Tournament 3: Demonwindbomb (NO) vs direwolfnotinbed (TG) [3-25-12]

HK & BG BBCSE Ranbat Tournament 3: OmniSScythe (MA) vs direwolfnotinbed (TG) Winners Finals

HK & BG's BBCSE Ranbat Tournament 3 direwolfnotinbed (TG) vs OmniSScythe (MA) Grand Finals

...and knew Tager's combos.

It's weird Tager no longer being ass. It just feels unnatural. Well and as a Noel main I have found my cussing level at a all time high.

I liked Tager when he could kill you with 2 combos, now he has to do combos as long as everybody else to get the damage of his CT self.
I mean I like how he is in CSE, but the combo system now is just...boring.

The thing about his damage was that they deliberatly made him terrible but used the damage to try to offset it, which was a bad way to do things, and his CS and CSII self wasn't much of a improvement (his huge combo friendly hitbox that led to high damage Tager specific combos didn't help either). In Extend while his damage is lower and you have to learn all the new combos he's capable of doing now to get off proper damage, he's also very solid and feels properly developed now.

Fair points.
...but if I'm gonna play the big heavy character, I'd want his damage to be big...and heavy. Then again one of the things I've always hated about Tager was 'HOW THE FUCK DO I GET IN?!?!'.
Hopefully when GGXX AC gets released I'll put enough time into Pot to realize what it is I'm looking for in a high risk, high reward+big, heavy power type characters.

Can get BB Extend with free shippin on amazon for $17.72 right now if anyone has any interest, but of course doesn't/didn't want to buy it at a high price.

Cheapest I have seen the game yet by far. Almost the same price as 2 DLC characters for regular CS! Good old DLC pricing.......
