Curse doesn't bounce anymore, steady aim is completely reworked, super doesn't reload anymore, way less combo potential, and that's just from the little bit they showed off.

HC is one of the first characters they show off.

can you hear it ? the pulse of living. CHAOS ISN'T DEAD! Now to prove my point let's look at what chaos lost. At the ready (gun flip) doesn't launch, curse doesn't bounce and is blockable and super doesn't give back bullets.Now all of these do seem major but they aren't because now: steady aim (focused shot) might be high low (because they gave him the option to shoot up and down if they both have the same startup or it might be setplay) but at the very least a good zoning tool to get get back resources,reload now gives all 6 bullets back and curse now flinches and knocks back the opponent. So what does that mean well for starters losing at the ready's as a launcher isn't that big of a deal. Happy chaos can launch with shot into steady aim from every hit plus he can use 6s - steady aim - roll for more optimal combos from hits like cs. Curse being blockable is a bit of a problem but it having the flinch and applying knockback implies it can wallbreak after focus or reload (which gives back 6 bullets now). Super not giving bullets back is bad but since reload gives back all the bullets anyway chaos only misses out on some damage his pressure remains pretty much the same if not stronger (depending on the steady aim rework). In conclusion for a good happy chaos main these "nerfs" are easily avoidable and the buffs might be a lot more helpful than they look. Now this is mostly all I managed to notice and be sure of. Although some things I noticed but I am not sure about are: clones stay out for less time, 6s is faster but doesn't travel as far. If you have noticed anything else please tell me. For now chaos in my eyes is alive and kicking.

And I think it's a perfect time to post it, considering Mr. Gunslinger right here is getting nerfed intro oblivion.

And you can quote me on that. Yes, I am, myself, a Happy Chaos player, and I will not downplay him. Calling him a complete and utter pain in the ass to fight against is an understatement. But at the very least, I hope they don't gut and completely rework him. Yes, his kit is broken and most likely shouldn't have been in the game, but it is in the game. And there are many, such as myself, that absolutely love how his kit works and might not even play the game if he wasn't in it. I know I wouldn't. Chaos was the only way I was actually able to get into this game as a previously non-fighting game player, I just love how technical he is. I think the nerfs we've seen, being blockable curse, no focus buff after focusing and potentially no guard crush shots are plenty when it comes to nerfs, and by themselves will illicit a much more creative and enjoyable fighting experience when going against him.

tldr; PLEASE ARCSYS DON'T NERF MY BOY PLEASEEE I NEED HIMMMM

From the live stream

80+ (including cats and Dizzy, excluding Leap, due to her auntie status)

on missing link there's only one girl sitting out of the door. [1]

on ggx there's 5, one in the gunner seat on the wing and one cheering from the railings. The other girls just standing about. [6] (We can assume none of these girls are the one's named after months due to those being in May's instant kill)

on gg petite there's only the one's named after months, but not all of them, so we'll count them up later.

on xx we've got 13 of them hanging around the ship, most of them to the right and 3 of them trying to help another girl waving in the wind down in the background. [19]

on xxSLASH we've got 10, altho a couple of them look similar to the ones named after months again May still has her instant kill that includes them, so it's again save to assume that these aren't those girls. they're spread out about over the stage one of them posing with a broom and looking sick af on the left and one of them aura farming while standing on some railings in the background. [29]

on xxAC there's 10 of the girls + 1 KITTY. The wiki says the one's on ac are based off of an anime by the name of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya-. Also, I really like the sign girl, I find her funny. [39 +KITTY]

on xxAC+R we've got no more kitty:( but 11 girls. the wiki noted that these girls (besides a green haired one) are also references to characters from the anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The green haired girl actually reacts to the fight, she also claps when Johnny or May knock down the opponent (but will specifically cheer on May if she's going against Johnny. That's what he gets for being a bum dad.) also, one of them kinda looks like Teto. [50+KITTY]

now the one's named after months we've got 11 of them +CAT. (Dizzy is named after December) [61+kitty!+cat!]

WAIT I FORGOT ISUKA! on Isuka there's a beach stage where most of the month named members are. but also there's only 1 new one on there, which is the black girl laying next to July, so that'll be 62+kitty+cat

now on the strive stage there's a bunch of girls waddling about in the background, below and top deck. (the one's with month names +leap being also scattered about, which you can have fun trying to spot yourself.)

it's a bit hard to count them all since they're not all always visible+I've not looked fully around the stage to see if there's any more on the backside, BUT from the top of my head I was able to count 8 variations. (the 8 ones just being mostly the same girl but with different hair, clothing and skin color.) which totals up to 70 +kitty +cat. which is 72 on the stages. (assuming my counting is correct and I didn't accidentally miss count or overestimate how many girls there are on strives stage.)

NOW FOR ARCADE STORY STUFF! (and

some promotional thingies) Missing Link May's arcade ending shows Johnny with 3 members of the crew. 1 of them being the one from the stage which we've already seen. so +2 [74+]

on ggxxAc there's a the purple haired girl we've already seen on the stage. (or atleast I think we have) and a other girl. so that's +1 [75+] on a special illustration by Takumi there's Dizzy and May but 2 other girls that I don't see as any other members so thats +2 [77+]

for May's arcade ending 1, most of the girls here seem to be one's weve seen before, except one on the left and there's a girl off screen.. so I'll just say +2 [79+] for Johnny's arcade ending we see him surrounded by his girls, the one's we see we already know (or are from May's arcade 1 ending) along with some off screen ones.. I'll just +1 to be save [80+]

on Johnny's second ending we see the same girls from May's and his arcade 1 ending so.. we dont have to add any [80+]

and that... might just be all of them.. well.. Bridget does get added to the crew in one arcade ending... so that'd be 81+.. butttttt.. that's a non-cannon ending. so we'll stay at 80+.. it also could have been that Gio was once under Johnny's wing.. but.. I dont find it clear enough so I'm just saying Nuh-uh she isn't.

well, there's you have it people, took me like.. few hours but 80+ Daughters. with 2 of them being cats... [there was also a parrot in one of the arts.. but.. let's just pretend it's a male parrot]

I hope you liked reading this and if you think I SOMEHOW missed any of the girls or accidentally counted some twice OR know how many girls there are exactly on the strive stage, tell me in the comments! for the rest. I'm going to sleep, this was mildly entertaining to write.. (also, Arcsys WHEN'S THE JELLYFISH PIRATES ANIME DAMMIT!!!!!!)

I’ve seen a lot of people getting excited about the contents of the pass, but haven’t seen anyone address how the actual release has been confirmed for sometime in May. I’d just rather that people be aware of this now rather than getting surprised and disappointed when it isn’t out on Thursday.

They’ve almost certainly done it this way as a player retention tool. New characters always drive up the player count for weeks before they trickle back down to the regular numbers, so there’s not really a point to releasing the pass at the same time as Jam. Dropping it a month after Jam means that there’ll be a 2nd boost to the player count right around the point that the 1st is coming to an end, then I assume Robo-Ky will be coming out around the point when the 2nd boost is ending, then the 2nd pass will probably start a month or two after Robo-Ky comes out, and so on and so forth.

I saw the preliminary patch notes and I cannot find anything in relation to the switch port, I'm so fucked
