Lost Swords adds Astaroth, Nightmare and Pyrrha!

With Christmas around the corner, it has become obvious to anyone that the release for Lost Swords has slipped into 2014. Initially slated for release before the end of 2013, Namco-Bandai has just confirmed that the game will not get an official release till next year. Project Soul has pushed the game back in order to provide a higher quality game to it's fans.

With the bad news however, is some good news. Three new characters have been added to the roster. In addition to the previously announced Mitsurugi, Siegfried and Sophitia; Astaroth, Nightmare and Pyrrha will also be playable upon the game's release. How do you guys feel about the choice of new characters? Did they add your favorite character? Are you disappointed at the addition of yet another sword and shield character?

With the delay, I hope they give the gameplay the tweaks it needs. Maybe then it would be a lot less broken.

As for the announcements, it's good to see that they were confirmed, although we already knew they would be there according to the beta. I'm very interested to know why they kept the original Astaroth. Not that I'm against it, but it's unexpected considering that Graf Dumas is in Lost Swords. I'm personally glad they kept the in the new Nightmare (I like him a lot better than the old one) and I hope they keep the new Cervantes, too.

I'm more interested to know if that was really Taki's fighting style we saw in the beta (a fighting stance different from Natsu's) and whether or not the "Devil Jin" was really Heihachi.

 

Really happy to see Pyrrha, she is so cute and beautiful as ever =D

I hope for Cassandra too and for an Xbox 360 release

 

So what Ridicoulous Natural Combos has anyone spotted?

 

So what Ridicoulous Natural Combos has anyone spotted?

2B WRB 2A 11AA (though it's probably something like 2BBAAA)
4AAAAA
BB Cassandra's 66A+B 236B:4 (probably just BBB 236B BE
2B FC3B (O.o)
236B 236B 236A 22_88K (probably something like 66B 66B A)
44A(?) 236K BE
3B 11B 1AA (though this seems like a legit combo)

This is so masher friendly, it almost feels like Soul Edge + DoA.

EDIT:

Spoiler: Someone took note of the fighting styles in the beta. Seems legit and fits this reveal.

EDIT2: You've been ninja'd ZOo00OOm.

 

So what Ridicoulous Natural Combos has anyone spotted?

Asta:
3B > 11B > 1AA

Pyrrha:
2B > Oprah's WR B > 2A > 11AA (Wat)

4[A] > AA > 236 AA

BB > 6B+K (I think) > 236B:4 BE

Nightmare:
B > FC3B

GS B, GS B, GS A into 22K

These combos are retarded.

 

EDIT:

Spoiler: Someone took note of the fighting styles in the demo. Seems legit and fits this reveal.

By demo you mean beta, right?

Was Cassandra there? Because i didn´t read anything

Yes, she's there. It's the same picture from the Lost Swords thread.

Wow, wow, wow... Wait, and be VERY clear please because my heart may die

Are you saying Cassandra style was in the beta? You SAW Cassandra´s style in the beta? It was real? Are you sure?

 

Stop worrying about balancing the combos since they do no damage until there is a huge level gap

Who said I was worrying about the damage output? It's a single player game.

It's retarded in terms of execution.

The combos are simplified strings ala Soul Edge.

So 4[A] AA 236 AA becomes 4A AAAA etc

Fo real

Really? Damn. So this is DoACalibur then.

No, her picture is in the character select that was in the beta's data. Since the list had SC2 Asta and now they specifically have SC2 Asta... it's pretty safe to assume everyone on the list will make it in at some point. Really sorry about the confusion.

 

I am going to be livid if there is no Talim.

Ok, now I understand better, thank you.

I remember that image being posted long time ago, and now PS uses the same imagen of Astaroth instead the image of SC5, incredible!

So, in conclude, can I hope for Cassandra to be in the game? God, please, yes, PLEASE!

 

Is it me or does Pyrrha look slightly different?
