Now that we see Byakuren's stage, I'm intrigued by something. It's clearly Myouren Temple. On ground. And we've already seen Palanquin Ship in the sky before. So does that mean they're not one and the same after all? Or is it a different ship? Interesting.

Summary of blog post:
Byakuren is the fastest at moving forward and backward. Her dash is instant (blinking).
Her danmaku range and cost is not so good. Prepare to engage in close combat.
For those who thought Ichirin was this game's melee specialist...

And damn, now I want to see a Byakuren vs. Remilia match. Two super strong and fast youkais that favor close combat...

I think it's the same.  One stage has it in the air and another has it on the ground.

At this point, either:
- They are not the same;
- They are the same, and they can switch back and forth.

Or, you can say "f**k it" and say it's magic. :V

The disappointment of Byakuren is at least partially remedied by the excited anticipation of seeing /jp/'s seething rage now that someone has appeared in a game toting a large chest.

You know, it could be that "Soaring Vault" thing, finally pieced together after UFO. Makes the most sense to me.

I just noticed something...

http://i.imgur.com/PYAUYwO.jpg - The screen from Human village

http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/2909/byakren.jpg - and the screen from Myouren temple.

The same two girls. In pretty kimonos. I wonder if it's just a reusing of a sprite, or does that mean, that these two might ber relevant?
I'm thinking the former.

At this point, either:
- They are not the same;
- They are the same, and they can switch back and forth.

Or, you can say "f**k it" and say it's magic. :V
Or there could be multiple ships. Don't just leave that option out.

You know, it could be that "Soaring Vault" thing, finally pieced together after UFO. Makes the most sense to me.
Wasn't the "Soaring Vault", the Palanquin Ship made unrecognizable by Nue or something like that?

Nue made the pieces of the soaring vault (needed to unseal Byakuren) unrecognizable using the Seed of Unknown Form. With that the heroines perceived as UFOs what were in reality the pieces of wood that composed the vault. The wiki calls them "Fragments of Tobikura".

I'd pretty much taken Byaku-Iron Fist as a given, but she looks pretty cool. In Shou's absence (BOO) the musclewizard might be fun.

One way or another, the whole cast of UFO plus Kyouko is in the game now. The next character reveal will definitely be from another group (or be Mamizou, and not have any of the Myouren group as her background).

Let's think about the numbers for a moment...
Two members of the Buddhist faction has been announced (and most likely there will be third one)..
If we assume that each side has equal amount of members, doesn't this mean that we have 8 - 12 playable
characters + 1-2 unlockable bosses (Of course Marisa could be the only member representing non-religious humans)?

Also this might be bit far-fetched but if we have 12 playable characters, unless there will be new ones aside from
the bosses - we might have some of the background characters appear as playable characters as well...

YES. I do hope it's as intuitive as Meiling's was in Hisoutensoku. Either way, I call a new main :V

I doubt Mamizou will be playable, since when you take FS into account, she wouldn't want to show off in front of Human Village. And that's exactly what the game's about.

Heh. Seems /jp/ so far has come to the conclusion that:

1. NO SHOU WAAAAAAAAAH
2. Mamizou must appear.
3. There will be anywhere from 5 to 15 more playable characters, based on the hilarious speculations of the great minds at /jp/.
4. EoSD a shit.

Yes, sad but true. And only an idiot or incredibly biased person would think there will be a "removable background characters" feature. If they're on the background, then that means they are not playable.

From the description it seems that Byakuren's last word's gonna be pretty easy to connect.  I just hope it can be blockable or at least easy to dodge, else it'll just be a straightup improved Sungrazer.

Oh, I saw that coming.

Like around 90% of the fighting games lacks this feature. I don't see why it'd be different with HM just because a little games that you can count with your ten fingers have this.

Besides, if this will really be a feature. Then tell me why Ichirin doesn't appear on the Palanquin Ship's background when you're fighting Reimu x Marisa there.  ;)

Well... maybe because this feature will be only added on the full version. *sighes* biased fanbase is biased.

ssf4 is a little game? huh, new information. if anything it should be the other way around; because HM is a little game that really isn't as vigorously tested (relatively) compared to the above it won't have that feature.

Look, we still don't know anything about the roster yet. Maybe it'll have a replacement easter egg system, maybe not. We have no indication either way, so stubbornly defending either position ain't gonna do squat besides raise tempers.
Can't think of a good signature.
More lilies maybe?

by little, I mean "a few" games, I never said those games are little in the sense they are minor and irrelevant.

3. Small in quantity or degree: little money.

7.
a. Being at an early stage of growth; young: a little child.
b. Younger or youngest. Used especially of a sibling: My little brother is leaving for college next week.

@Irmingard Von Stein:

I agree with you. It's just a few days before the game is released. Let's just leave this pointless argument behind and wait for the day. There's really no point and will only provoke flame wars. As for myself, I'll ignore the other posts from now on until the game is released, just to prevent raising tempers without necessity. I mean... some people take the stuff more seriously than needed.

not particularly. So far the fgc likes HM about as much or less than SWR/12.3, probably less.

I don't know anymore. I'd like Shou in this game, and it seems like a real loss on the game's part, but I just don't see this background removal feature being standard enough to reasonably predict it. Right now, the game can either let me down, or blow me away, and I just really hope it does the latter.

Look, we still don't know anything about the roster yet. Maybe it'll have a replacement easter egg system, maybe not. We have no indication either way, so stubbornly defending either position ain't gonna do squat besides raise tempers.
That's a bad approach.
