Yes, that's her main gimmick and it seems a lot of moves are locked behind it. Her CE also gets much stronger when she maxes the flower power out. Probably you can feasibly play her without worrying about it, but you'd be missing out on 'free' damage in a lot of cases.
She glows/flashes when...
Not necessarily. They actually said during the stream that it would probably be the 'current' build, not the final version at the event. They were forewarning players that things they might discover at the demo event might not work when the DLC comes out.
Considering stages, but Okubo alluded...
Probably known already, but should be listed here too:
SC FC 3AA(W!) 6CE -185 dmg
There's basically no scaling on the CE for this. Just the 3AA wallsplat does 48 dmg, so the CE is still doing 137 by itself.
There's a FinalRound event on today
Soul Calibur will be one of the side tournaments (MVC3 is the main event). Streaming from around 15:30.

I wanted it to be Ivy but I couldn't past the fact she's still so different from her SC2 incarnation.
I might try again eventually but for the moment I'm just sticking with Mitsurugi.
I also wish I was better with Yoshimitsu, I love his design and moves but find it difficult to play...
Yeah, I was going to say, the scripts for the introduction/win quotes are definitely different. The meanings are generally along the same lines but there are nuances which aren't represented.
As for me, I find Leixia's English voice hilarious and I've always preferred Yoshimitsu in English...
Hi, I'm new to the 'scene' but I'm planning on entering the Tokyo tournament next week.
Quick question, will any controllers be provided or do you have to bring your own?
