Updated second post with first 2 sections of the guide. Will polish them and continue working on it soon.

THIS IS A REVIVAL

As most of you don't know due to not caring, I left the second part of this project unfinished. I admit I got lazy, but I was also busy and had other projects in mind. Now that I have some free time again, I decided to continue writting. This is not the only reason why I am making this post, however. I have also decided to do a 'balance patch' as many of you like to say. Moves properties were changed, and even the animation of a few as well! You may be asking how you can tell the difference unless you have the earlier draft saved though. Well, no worries! I was a nice enough guy not only to list all of them(also to make sure I didn't forgot any) but also put them under buffs, nerfs or neutral, much like I did with the Ragna CP changes thread on the Ragna section. Most of them are listed in a way that show how it was before and how it is now so that you can compare easily.

These changes seem good and very thought of, but what "(Switch!)" means?

One of his DDs is called Switch! and it changes the properties of his drive moves at the cost of regeneration gauge units per use. When a move has Switch! listed at it's side, it means the changes are to that version of the move.

Ooooh yeah, now i remember i glanced OP through again before asking that, but for some reason didn't notice it lol

Anyways, another question. After posting these changes, is this it now or are you gonna still put something up/update in the near future? And if there is something, what is it?

As far as the moveset itself goes, I'm very likely not to touch it again until the NA console release of CP since I will have to modify the frame data accordingly to the new system used. I am gonna finish the guide and then use the other placeholder to write his unlimited form, and then I will move on to a few other characters I have been wanting to write a moveset for.


To answer your question, yeah, there will be updates in the near future.

Oh right, you were gonna write specs of the Unlimited Dark. Also, looking forward to your future characters. Good luck.

Polished a few system frames(No modifications, only easier to read) and added another part to the guide.
