They're 3d models, be prepared for dozens of costume packs.

Cannot wait for the " holy shit I know we have more belts than the last games, but guess what more belts" costume pack.

 

[ZenTzen]

Are all of these the 3D models? I thought that they were illustrations at first, but Chipp's boots are throwing me off. May is definitely the most impressive so far if so.

yes they are, only illustrations are sol and ky

 

[Antiwhippy]

No, just older. Story wise, this has to be a few years after GGXX so why does May still look the same? It makes no sense.

Girls have their growth spurts earlier than men?

 

[Jotamide]

MAY LOOKS LOVELY!

THANK YOU GOD FOR NOT LETTING WHOEVER DESIGNED BLAZBLUE'S CHARACTERS NEAR THIS GAME!!!

 

[Stone Ocean]

May looks pretty much like a brunette Bridget. Eck

 

[remz]

Someone call Mike, Panzertemkin even has the Z symbol pasted on his chest.

Arc just paying some respect to his Soviet Damage (TM)

 

[TreIII]

Potemkin's new look is odd, but I can see it growing on me. Definitely need to have a classic skin as his 2P/Unlockable outfit, though.

 

[Jotamide]

For those worrying about Potemkin, keep in mind he was killed in Accent Core Plus' story mode. So, this can only mean:

MECHA-POTEMKIN IN DA HOUSE BAYBEE!

 

[Busaiku]

I wonder if Alex and Mike ok.

 

[rubius01]

I'm just hoping for I-no

...and Baiken

 

[Jarnet87]

This is not a confirmation of Dr. Faust, unacceptable.

I was about to post something to that extent.

If it's not the Robo-Potemkin we saw in that ending, then maybe Zepp scientists thought "Gentlemen. We have the technology; we can rebuild him."

Either way is fine with me, so long as I can Potemkin Buster some punks.

 

[Canti.]

May look better here

 

[SDBurton]

I still don't see I-No, or Baiken for that matter.

 

[ZenTzen]

May look better here

whered you get those from

 

[synce]

Hate the new designs, they look kinda generic and lifeless :/

 

[Wynnebeck]

Girls have their growth spurts earlier than men?

I wish they gave her age in the story because she still looks 15 years old.

 

[Black Door]

Hate the new designs, they look kinda generic and lifeless :/

Chipp needs some more time in the oven, but everyone else generally looks ok.

I wonder how they're going to do Zappa if they bring him back. He's pretty much straight-up squash-and-stretch classic Darkstalkers.

 

[kirblar]

So w/ Eddie essentially confirmed by the first preview, this makes 8.

(No surprise that he wouldn't be one of the first characters done.)

 

[Canti.]

I got it from my #1 source of news....twitter

[Mr. X]

Was hoping for some new characters.

Venom looks the same but his moveset has some new moves and old moves gone.

 

[Onemic]

I want my Slayer and Baiken

 

[Snapshot King]

I wish they gave her age in the story because she still looks 15 years old.

Her age is listed as 18 years old in GGXX.

I'm assuming the illustrations are based on their 3D models, or are at least representative of them. Not digging the weird muppet mouths, but I can't say I pay attention to those when I'm playing a fighting game.

 

[Akainu]

Really? YES!!!!!!!

The hell have you been? One of the first characters revealed.

 

[Antiwhippy]

They are the 3D models.

Except for Sol and Ky iirc, which are actual illustrations.

 

[Rickenslacker]

The art on the site looks touched up, but uses the models as a base. In the move list portraits they look more blatantly rendered.

 

[duckroll]

Tons of Fullmetal Alchemist influence on the new Potemkin design. Looks kinda hot.

 

[MasterRain]

I don't really like the style of GG, even though the games are great, HOWEVER new potemkin looks too good. Its like some mechanical god of war who wants to grapple the shit outta you. The rest are OK I guess, going with that heavy metal anime style.

 

[Steaks]

Depending on the ending you use, Potemkin is dead. Explains the armor.

Anyway I like the new look. I liked the old one too. The new shoes look derpy but otherwise I'm pretty satisfied. I'm betting he was redesigned like that because hew wasn't that visually appealing to Japanese players.

I really want to see what his new moves do. The K thing might be the forward grab he's had before, but it could be something totally different. In his EX versions, he had a similar HS style move in the air which let him dive at the opponent. Probably something to give him another airdashish option like Hammerfall is for a dash.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I guess May's double jointed.

 

[Road]

The artworks are all terrible.

At least in motiom there won't time to keep staring at them. *trying to stay positive*

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Where's my Johnny and Baiken?

 

[Jotamide]

I just noticed Potemkin's gloves have "Burly Heart" engraved on them. Awesome.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I guess May's double jointed.

Only cool people are double jointed.

 

[Trickster]

I thought those were the models?

 

[El Sloth]

I guess May's double jointed.

I don't see anything unnatural here. You're the weird one!

 

[K.Sabot]

I guess May's double jointed.

Korean artists!

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Chip's face looks sorta weird there...just looks off to me

Potemkin sure leveled up though, I love characters that look like some super tough knights! The more crazy armor, the better.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I hope this game is good and I hope that the FGC can embrace it if it is.

 

[Village]

* is actually double jointed*

Thanks. Sadly I am not super moe though like May.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I hope this game is good and I hope that the FGC can embrace it if it is.

If you could only have one of the two, it being good or the fgc embracing it, which would you prefer?

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Anji pls

Chip's face looks sorta weird there...just looks off to me

Potemkin sure leveled up though, I love characters that look like some super tough knights! The more crazy armor, the better.

I think sol and ky's are too, it's a little different artstyle it seems.

 

[ZenTzen]

thats not artwork, only sol and ky have character artwork

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I guess it being good. That's actually a really good, and tough question. I mean, I think KOF13 is awesome, but I can't be bothered to play it since the netcode is trash. I'm now wondering if my not playing it is more a result of not being able to play anyone online, or because I know it wouldn't get the size audience of sf4. But I guess 'good' is really relative. There's a lot of things I don't like about ssf4, but I enjoy the game probably mostly in part because so many people play it.

 

[Busaiku]

Seriously, what in the world is wrong with Chipp.

 

[Antiwhippy]

* is actually double jointed*

Thanks. Sadly I am not super moe though like May.

I'm double jointed too, though I'm probably close to being as moe as may.

 

[Lumination]

Edit: I'm dumb.

 

[Busaiku]

WAIT
ZUNUFF?!

WHAT THE HECK

 

[Steaks]

Are 360s no longer a thing now? >_>

Potemkin never had 360s.
