What is that alien language on the picture?

Do I need to have Samuel L. Jackson come in here and explain how this works? <_<

I guess you are just kidding... It's portuguese and it says "You talk too much. I've already knocked out many boxers like you."

[marchefelix]

I knew it was Portuguese but thanks for the translation. And yeah, I hoped the Samuel L. Jackson bit made it clear enough I was joking :P

Now that I think about it, this pic is cleverly hinting at which team is coming tomorrow with the Portuguese and Nelson being on it.

[Shiranui_ninja]

;P

Yup, it seems so.

Any speculations about Zarina? I'll guess she figths with Capoeira and unlike Nakoruru, her toucan doesn't fight.

Yup, it seems so.

I'm really hoping that it isn't Capoeira, since it's just so obvious and lazy.

Nelson is a cyborg boxer and Bandeiras is a friggin ninja. Hopefully Zarina does something equally cool.

The only thing we know about her fighting style is the devs saying that she spends a lot of time in the air.

Watch it be "capoeira with a twist". They tried it with Momoko and she ended up being not that popular. Zarina might be a second try at that.

I bet she will use the bird like Nakoruru. Probably more than her.

I don't recall the devs saying anything about her.

Mian has the fan out in the latest pic, also whilst wearing a different coloured mask  I'm done I'm thoroughly confused.

;P

Yup, it seems so.

I'm hoping she has a lot more air options than Nakoruru for what they've touted about Zarina.

[shinefist]

I don't remember the development team mentioning zarina either, so I'm not sure what to expect.

I hope she has a few of blue Mary's skills. I know she is popular among the fans.

Mian wears the mask we saw in her Climax during the trailer in this new picture. And i think it's exactly the same move as this


So I conclude masks change totally random while she fights.


Zarina confirmed for the upcoming trailer

Random masks sounds strange. Why would the developers do that. Because they can maybe?

Even the opponent's (Kukri and Nakaruru) on the receiving end of that fan attack has the same animation in both pics. So it does look like the same move.

[Shiranui_ninja]

Random masks sounds strange.

Not really. Let's say that Mian have around 8 different masks. I think those masks have an order to appear: mask01, mask02, mask03, etc. And at certain moves she changes her mask. So independently which move she does masks change in that order in loop. So we can see one same move with different masks depending in what you do during the match. Let's say the first thing you do with Mian is her Climax. Then you'll see her Climax with mask02. But if before Climax you do a move where she changes her mask and then the Climax, you'll see her Climax with mask03.

If i'm right, then Mian is probably that character impossible to do in 2D Oda refered to. Because do all that mask changing for all possible frames would be insane.
