So she is now heretic or something? I mean, kappas and tengus are Moriyas main source of faith and Nitori being like "Screw that, science is better." would make her one if Rikako has proven that.

Yeah. I see her siding with the Moriyas. Maybe Sanae is not in it, and instead we get Nitori and Kanako? Perhaps Sanae was a bad girl.

If my auto-translator is saying what I think it's saying, it sounds like her mechanic is sort of like Aigis is Persona 4. Her weapons use energy, which she has a limited amount of each round. Alternatively, her energy level regenerates slowly but any used energy doesn't automatically restore across rounds. Either way, sounds interesting.

It says absolutely nothing about her energy level regenerating.

Whatever is left is that; it doesn't get restored. The description says you have to think carefully about how you pace out your use of energy.

Interesting. I like the sound of that a lot. I don't recall ever seeing something quite like that in a fighting game. It also seems to be implying that some of her attacks get weaker the less energy she has left, but again that could be me misreading the near nonsense that came out of my translator.
I made a PADHerder. It's probably out of date though.

I think the closest thing I can think of relating to that would be Bang Shishigami from BlazBlue, who has limited amough of nails he can use.  Where I doubt I would use Nitori, I think this is interesting, having either option to use her energy sparingly (Bang can use nails to throw "kunais" or create bumpers to bounce off, each costing only one nail normally ) or if in a pinch, just unleashe all the energy you have for a lot of damage (Bang can use all of his nails to create a rain of nails for a lot of hits and damage).

Actually it implies that she can't use some of her attacks if she lacks energy for them. Let alone reduced power.

Energy fills up at the start of the next round. Or that is what the description implies.
Some weapons weaken when she doesn't have enough energy. (I think it's a on/off thing, instead of gradual)
Some weapons are rendered unusable.

便利屋, is this thing exclusive to Japan or something?

Suddenly Nitori! That's a nice surprise.

She's most likely in the "FOR SCIENCE!" faction or something like that.

回復しない means it doesn't recover

便利屋 is basically a service for home management, appliances, etc. Utilities? Something like that.

It has been stated earlier, basically there are some kappa who do not like religion. We can only assume Nitori is part of that group because otherwise it wouldn't have been mentioned

Right, although Bang's stock resets every round. Maybe Nitori's does too and I'm misreading so far. I wonder if Nitori will also have an attack that empties her entire remaining stock for big damage like Bang does?

Actually it implies that she can't use some of her attacks if she lacks energy for them. Let alone reduced power.

Right, it seems clear that you can't use what you can't pay for, but I'm not clear on if the actual strength of the attacks is supposed to be effected as well.

Between Futo growing in strength over time, Nitori eventually becoming unable to use certain attacks/possible gradually getting weaker, and Miko's power level potentially fluctuating significantly, this game could have some bizarre matchups and interactions. Looking forward more and more to seeing how it all fits together. It's shaping up to be quite a complex game.

pls rikako pls rikako pls rikako etc

this is a legit surprise all the same; I was going to put my money on Sanae + Kanako as Moriya/MoF representatives... y'know, if indeed she's allied with the Moriya and not just out to prove SCIENCE

Oh look, that is all of the Moriyas in the background there  :derp:

I'm curious if Nitori's backpack will count as part of her hitbox, because it effectively doubles her sprite-size.

I am pleased by this development.

Though Snake's Brawl super wasn't the first thing I thought of. Anyone remember that one bonus level in Krack-Shot Kroc from Donkey Kong Country 3?

EDIT: Oh snap, background Moriyas. (And MORE CAPE  :*)

Mother of Amaterasu... So who is guessing that Hina will appear, since Aki Sisters are also in the background, with few kappas? :v:

And I must admit, frog jump carpet-jumping looks so silly and yet awesome at the same time.

EDIT:

We discussed about this already. Miko's cape changes colors depending on how popular she is. Also, third power icon with Miko, with the "neutral" Gaijin 4Koma picture

They look like they have flat green hats... GENERIC ZUNS!

Also, is that Kanako's hair in the lower left corner?

Sanae's presence in the background is a real surprise. It seems like a real curveball to not have her in the game. Not that I mind, I would rather have almost anyone else, but she seemed to fit. And if Kanako is out as well I'll be genuinely shocked.

The cape also doubles as a fame meter (red = GOOD!; purple = normal; blue(?) = bad)

So it is official now? Moriya shrine has lost the religious war...
Anyway, I didn't even dream about Nitori being a playable character ever so this is pleasant surprise.

commandercool's rule number one of fighting games is "main the robot". Since there don't seem to be any robots in the running (pending Hisoutensoku :derp:), robo arms is the next best thing. I assume robo arms will feature into Nitori's moveset at least a little, and hopefully fairly heavily.

I honestly didn't expected her to appear here, but if you consider that she was stated to appear in Hisoutensoku....

I BARELY see Kanako's head there... and her not being in would surprise me.

Have they confirmed that if you are in a background you won't be playable? I mean, other fighting games have characters in the background and still playable(Aquapazza, MvC3, Skullgirls(when Big band is out))
