96 boss goenitz is no joke. One hit and he will combo you to oblivion. Trying real hard to clear the 20 hits or less mission.
It's even worse on Hard. 15 hits there. I imagine Expert is 10. >_<
The only thing I find more bullshit than that is the "30 combo or more" on freaking Orochi.
"Lol, you doing a combo? Just going to slide out of them and do one of my shitty spell moves on you."
This right here is why I can't beat him on Hard. I got him down to only 3 bars a few times but can't finish the job with only 1 character over 10k CP (Mai 95).
Past 98, there are very few new characters even in Japan to date. They haven’t even finished the 98 roster yet.
This is correct. From what I can tell
looking here, the post-98 roster in Japan is currently:
99 - K', Maxima, Benimaru, Shingo, Whip, Kensou, Chin, Xingfei, Krizalid (Fest)
00 - Vanessa, Ramon, Kula, Kim, Clone Zero (Fest)
01 - Angel, May Lee, Zero (Fest), Loveable Igniz (Fest)
02 - Vice
03 - Ash (Fest), Terry (Fest), Mukai (Fest)
XI - n/a
XII - Mature
XIII - Kyo (Fest)
XIV - Sylvie, Alice, Nakoruru (Fest)
