Any news on if theres new music tracks for A.B.A, Robo or Boost Mode?
Argh! I don't have my copy yet, so I can't check it right now, but although the music isn't based on characters, there is a new A.B.A themed level, so I can assume that means a new song. Argh! I should have paid attention to that! When I got to play earlier today I was all doki-doki and didn't notice.
A.B.A is really weird though. When I saw her design I said "nothing in the world can stop me from using her!" But she's...really slow! Like Potemkin slow and can't even air dash or run unless she's in the mode that hurts her. Anyway, I'm not trying to be the A.B.A information source, I just really wonder what her QCF+P move is good for. It's totally lame a roll and doesn't "eat hits" either. She seems sort of hard to use in some ways, or just "ineffective".
Ah, but...in her other mode an easy chain can do 40% and her super that reduces her to 1% life is wildly strong and can easily wipe out all 3 opponents at once. (I managed to do this a few times, myself)
Ah, I wish there was more art of her so I could use a pic as an icon to gain Iggy's respect back....ah...but knowing him, he might hate her.

Actually, the problem is that I kinda like her design, but there is a particular person I hate who happens to draw EXACTLY like the official art we saw of ABA...
So I'll wait to play with her and listen to her quotes to make up my mind. What they say about her voice is interesting, though... I'm curious, to say the least.
But whatever happens, you know she won't be half as brilliant as Leopardon.
I don't like the Isuka artwork. Or rather, I don't like the coloring. Much like the XX artwork, I'd wager the sketches look pretty good. I wouldn't dare use that pic for an icon, cause it looks dumb.
In the game A.B.A is a bit choppy, but her voice is super awesome and she's...surprisingly tall. Most of her alternate colors are cool too, although she seems a little bit sloppier than the other characters. I mean, her animation isn't quite as fluid as say, Bridget...and her win animations are a bit boring, but she's interesting to watch because she's dragging the key along with her, rather than carrying it like a weapon.
I just love that Leopardon shares his name with Sentai Spiderman's robot.

This is the first I've heard about having to switch which way you face with the R1 button. I'd like to hear more about how well this works from people who've played it already. For example, can you block from behind at all? And how easy is it to escape by hopping into the background or foreground?
Well, at first, you're probably going to cry a lot about switching back and forth. Keeping track of which buttons do what in what combinations is kinda irritating, too. In about an hour I got good enough at switching that I could do it in the air before attacking someone, and that's the best I can hope for. I get a bit confused with Zappa and A.B.A sometimes and forget which way I'm facing.
Going to the back plane isn't really used for dodging, though...it's more to split up the action. You can hit your friends (though it doesn't do damage) so in many cases, you want to get out of the way. There's an added advantage of people forgetting about you when you're on the back line. I've used it to dodge a few times, but it's not really especially effective, since you'd probably rather block and counter.
Anyone can feel free to correct me on this, but you can't "officially" block from behind at all, although you have a "back attack" (more button combinations to remember) and it seems to block "for you" on some attacks that would be too cruel if it didn't.
Of course, all the button combinations can be altered, so you can set burst to something less irritating than 4 buttons at once, if you see fit.
