Scans from Famitsu unveiled a new story character. He's called Hibiki Kohaku and voiced by Mitsuhiro Ichiki. Scans shows him with the new playable character Kagura Mutsuki. Hibiki has black hair and wears a version of the NOA uniform. He looks like a girl.

[LiK]

i need pics~

 

[kayos90]

i need pics~

I would but they're scans yo.

 

[RoeBear]

still no Jubei :/

 

[kewlmyc]

still no Jubei :/

The new character is a non playable character, not a playable character. Bringing up Jubei is meaningless.

Yeah I just realized that, oh well. Are they going to release any new info at E3 or no?

Typical NOL uniform, looks like a boring character.

 

[Hours Left]

But the real question, is he hot?

 

[Kincaido]

Asami Imai best

 

[kayos90]

Asami Imai best

Aw hell yeah.

 

[RoeBear]

It's cool that Hazama got #1 guy, I guess fedoras and vests are cool.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Goddamn bullet and makoto making it in above Nu-13.

Fanservice is killing games.

*half-joking*

 

[nailbombxx]

Can we at least have a description of what he looks like?

Fuck YES. Tsubaki is my girl and I'm happy she's getting some love.

 

[kayos90]

Sure. I updated the OP. My bad.

 

[SolarPowered]

*half-joking*

Bullet at nine and Bang at eighteen. Rachel can't even hit top five? BlazBlue fans have shit taste.

 

[Busaiku]

Guilty Gear rankings were better.

 

[QisTopTier]

Tsubaki wins!

 

[rockman zx]

Cool, Tsubaki it's my favourite character in BB.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Bullet at nine and Bang at eighteen. Rachel can't even hit top five? BlazBlue fans have shit taste.

Yeah seriously.

I actually do like the initial blazblue designs, but makoto, Mu and and now bullet is where I felt that the designs are starting to go to shit in a way.

 

[kayos90]

Rofl. Just noticed Tsubaki owned Izayoi.

 

[QisTopTier]

Yeah seriously.

I actually do like the initial blazblue designs, but makoto, Mu and and now bullet is where I felt that the designs are starting to go to shit in a way.

Yeah maks design in game is pretty bad honestly. I really wish they would of let her have a noel make over too and keep her new jacket on :/

Those are some depressing rankings. No Litchi? No Relius? No Val? And what is "other"? Why not just post the characters?

I'm surprised the Amane is the least popular of the new characters too, didn't even rank. Well, at least Bang and Azrael made it, but they should be waaaaaaaaay higher.

 

[Beth Cyra]

Rofl. Just noticed Tsubaki owned Izayoi.

At least Izayoi still clocked in unlike Mu.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

They should have considering it looks better and she wears it in the story mode (based on a few screens I've seen).

 

[Kusagari]

The Guilty Gear rankings were actually really good and then we get...that.

What the hell Japan?

 

[Antiwhippy]

At least hakumen broke top 10.

 

[Hours Left]

Aksys, please do a US poll.

 

[Karsticles]

I'd love to see a GAF top 20 for BB characters where only people who own one of the games are allowed to vote.

 

[Kincaido]

Yo fuck Litchi *runs*

 

[QisTopTier]

At least Izayoi still clocked in unlike Mu.

Honestly it's weird either of them would be selectable as they are just super saiyan forms of the same characters. But makes sense from a fighting game stand point I guess.

Yo fuck Litchi *runs*

No one likes litchi except those that play her and if you follow the story at all even if you play her you'll hate her.

 

[Espada]

The Guilty Gear rankings were actually really good and then we get...that.

What the hell Japan?

Wait, the Guilty Gear poll results are out?

Anyways, I'm glad Tsubaki won. She's my favorite female character design in the BB series and I voted for her. Funny how the character who's mostly covered wins against fanservice monsters like Mu-12, Makoto, Platinum, etc...

 

[Hours Left]

I'm reading that a lot of Tsubaki votes were due to her voice actor.

A mod should update the topic title to mention the poll results.

 

[Antiwhippy]

10. Slayer
9. Jam
8. May
7. Johnny
6. Chipp
5. Baiken
4. Ky
3. Dizzy
2. Sol
1. Bridget

 

[kayos90]

Asami Imai is the best. Too bad Miyuki Sawashiro voices a character that I particularly don't like.

If it was just the actress shouldn't Izayoi be much higher?

Best girl don't need to show off the goods.

Yeah, fuck Carl too. Not even based Sawashiro can save his ass.

Explain.

 

[Hours Left]

You could only vote for one. I think most people see Tsubaki as the main form of the character.

 

[GayForMaster]

Where's Valkenheyn? ??

Damn Tao for being so low.

BRIDGET!?

Guilty Gear fanbase, I thought you were bros. What happened?

Haha, agreed. Mori got a little... wild with his ladies as the series progressed.

Noel got second.

BRIDGET!?

Bridget has been the most popular character in Guilty Gear since he was released. This isn't new.

 

[Antiwhippy]

BRIDGET!?

Guilty Gear fanbase, I thought you were bros. What happened?

I'm sorry that the guilty gear fanbase having better taste is breaking your mind.

 

[kayos90]

Noel's resdesign is fucking terrible. ugh.

 

[Busaiku]

BRIDGET!?

Guilty Gear fanbase, I thought you were bros. What happened?

We are, that's why we voted Bridget 1st.

 

[Hours Left]

Explain.

She's been making some weird decisions in the story, but her mind is being corrupted so it's not really her fault.

Though some of the most popular characters are complete jerks of their own accord, so I dunno. I still like her.

 

[SolarPowered]

We could do one when Phantasma drops.

BRIDGET!?

Guilty Gear fanbase, I thought you were bros. What happened?

Baiken made top five. These guys are eternal bros.

 

[Kincaido]

BRIDGET!?

Guilty Gear fanbase, I thought you were bros. What happened?

He introduced a lot of people to a new fetish.

 

[Terareflection]

The poll reminds me that I honestly don't like the BB characters that much.

 

[QisTopTier]

Explain.

You know those dumb ass characters that do something for a selfish ass reason and are just fucking everyone over in the process and in the long run not accomplishing shit anyways. She's one of those.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Explain.

She's fucking annoying to play against.

That staff pressure is no joke.
