Lost Swords adds Astaroth, Nightmare and Pyrrha!

[Jaxel]

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?

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.
