System Changes

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

QUOTE(Dustloop)

System

- Barrier burst is now replaced with Break Burst
- You can stock up to 2 bursts
- Burst no longer have damage penalty
- every character starts with 1 burst stock, character gains an additional burst after losing a round (only once)
- Using Burst when hit or block (not regular burst) will consume half of the Guard Primer (e.g Ragna uses the burst will make his current Guard Primer goes down from 4 to 2)
- Regular burst automatically becomes Gold Burst, able to kill from the follow up combo
- burst during hit or block is Green burst, similar to CT version

- When regular gold burst hits opponent, opponent will bounce high and able to combo from there (no more Guard break by gold burst)
- Life bar still goes into DANGER if barrier meter is running out

- All AH unlocked
- You can use AH when you need one more round to win (not the final round of the match) with 100% meter, more than 1 burst left and opponent's life is below 35%, character face picture next to life bar shines in white when it is possible to activate AH

- Guard Primer(?　ガードプライマー) system replaces Guard Libra
- Guard Primer length changes for every character, meter goes down if the character blocks the specific move that breaks the guard (e.g. blocking Λ-11-'s 214D will let meter go down by 2)
- many guard break moves go through barrier
- Guard primer will automatically recover but very slow
- Guard Primer length
10 Tager
06 Hakumen Bang Tsubaki Hazama
05 Jin Noel Litchi Arakune
04 Ragna Rachel Taokaka Carl Λ-11-

- option select tech throw during guard motion still works, but harder
- Unable to cancel forward and back roll with specials or supers
- tech throw glitch during counter hit motion and recovery time does not work
- Unable to tech with pressing ABC at the same time, not able to option select tech throw and regular tech
- Unable to jump during the barrier on the ground, you can not jump with barrier on, jump has bigger risk now
- movable time after winning shortened.

- general decrease in the combo damage, either there is a change in the damage calculation equation or big changes have made to combo rate of almost all moves
- Change in the counter hit system. For moves with multiple hits, all hits during the move will retain the counter hit property if 1st hit is a counter. i.e Jin's B(1hit counter)>6C works in CT version but B(2hit)>6C does not work, in CS B(1st hit counter, 2hit)>6C works
- Easier to get negative penalty

Aizawa Ryota was in the 3rd grade of the preparatory course of Central Military Academy. AD 2045, he went to a space station, Aries, for the training with his classmates including Nagase Saka and Nittak Kazuhiko. However, the station was attacked by a terrorist group, Hallarax.

Whether can they escape from the station to go back to the Earth?

The first episode have been released in RAW format.
The promo is out long ago though and subbed by AnimeU.

Hmm, now i need the episode 2 badly.
This anime only have 13 episodes, AFAIK.
AnimeU should be subbing this anime too, i think.
If they're actually hardworking, i bet the subbed one will be out by tomorrow or so. >_>
