User blog:Romanoff Blitzer/The News Feed Part 2

The News Feed is a place to dump all WIXOSS news, from very important to minor. It is also for the discussion of WIXOSS news.

This place is easier for posting small news than the WIXOSS subreddit or my Twitter. The WIXOSS subreddit is mainly for big news, and no one follows my Twitter (which is why I don't tweet often).

I decided to archive the old page, since it was getting prohibitively long. Pasting anything created a few seconds of lag, making it hard to copy paste repeatedly. Since this day of news is fairly big and includes a bunch of news from previous days, it seemed like a good break-off point!

August 21, 2015
The main site has updated today!

It's been an atrociously slow three weeks, with barely any news. Hell, the main site even skipped updating last Friday. Now that we're within a month of WX-09 releasing, though, we should be getting more news as the days pass by.

Aggregating news by release date... The JP WIXOSS wiki has had a page for these cards since March. I didn't put them up on this wiki at first, since I wanted pictures, although I did add them to the Promotional page. However, as the months dragged by, I never saw anything else indicating the existence of these cards, so I started to doubt their existence and removed them from the Promotional page.
 * June 19, 2015: Tawil (PR-170) and Umr (PR-171)

Then, on August 8, Lean Infinity posted a picture of the promo Tawil on his Tumblr account. I checked the other wiki, and it turns out that these cards were released on June 19, 2015 - two months back! "Wow, these cards exist after all..." After cursing my informational blind spot, I created the Tawil page. I'm still missing a picture for PR-171.

It didn't help that there are certain promo cards that were never added to the Takara Tomy site. They still haven't added spread WIXOSS, original WIXOSS, and comics WIXOSS to their card database. I have to make do with these shitty images.

And now you know the trials and tribulations of editing a card game wiki. Revealed in a Niconico WIXOSS rule-teaching stream. Revealed on Twitter. Another Kanon Wakeshima collaboration card. Effect remains unknown. You've probably already seen this - anime news travels much faster than card game news. If you have not, it can be found here. Unlike the last few trailers, this one shows some scenes that haven't been scene in the show, including Akira and Piruluk getting emotionally brutalized and Ulith reaching for the screen like a creep. The CONGRATULATION! card for September and October will be Xeno Multiple. This particular version is a manga collaboration - it depicts Saya from Dagashi Kashi. (Has anyone heard of that manga?)
 * August 6, 2015: Bad Medicine
 * August 13, 2015: Cellon, Rotation of the End
 * August 18, 2015: selector destructed WIXOSS PV
 * August 20, 2015: Xeno Multiple (PR-224) and Romane Defense (PR-232)

The Romane Defense comes with a novel named WIXOSS -TWIN WING-. Unlike the other forms of WIXOSS media, this particular story doesn't take place in the "selector" universe. (Presumably, this means there will be no Mayus or Uliths to make cute girls suffer.) The protagonist is a girl named Chiharu Mayumi, who lost her will to live after an accident, but encountered a friendship with a new companion through WIXOSS. First, I would like us to have a moment of silence for our deceased friend, No Gain. Starting on September 17, 2015 (the release date of WX-09), you may no longer use No Gain in official events. Alas. I knew it well. Okay, no I didn't. Not many decks I knew of used No Gain, so I'll have to do some digging to find out why it was banhammered.
 * August 21, 2015: A handful of new WX-09 cards, and a new Mayu's Room announcement

Anyways, more relevant: new cards!
 * Murakumo, Ultimate Sword
 * Habakiri, Greatsword
 * Raikiri, Medium Sword
 * Kotetsu, Small Sword
 * Get Brilliant

Lots of deck search in these new Swords. I think Murakumo's bounce ability is a bit risky, and Raikiri and Kotetsu seem slightly worse than Michael and Haniel (more power in exchange for more conditional cost to search, and power isn't that relevant). Murakumo and Habakiri have interesting search abilities, though. Note that Murakumo combos with Nyarobu, Ultimate Fist, letting you up one of your SIGNI to attack again, which is great if you're trying to go for lethal but only have one or two columns open.

Also, Idol Defense (WX09-Re02) and Xeno Multiple (WX09-Re03) will be reprinted in WX-09.
