There is literally a post raging over Nintendo "stealing our games".
That is the best wall of shame ever.

Nintendo released footage of all the previous demos being played by someone with actual skills. So I had to make gifs.
I made the gif on the left too short, so it ended up looking like something that belongs on tumblr, but the important part, as shown by the button presses, is that the attack is the punch counterpart to After Burner Kick. The gif on the right is, I think, Chernabog's version of the same attack.
On the left is Kafka's(the bow) melee attack. Going by the dash before hand, it's probably that weapon's stinger move. Image on the right shows Cache & Compassion using a team attack.
On the left is Rakshasa's all-kick combo. The one on the right is nothing special, I just liked the combo. Though it does give me a chance to mention that, in return for not having any Wicked Weaves, Alruna's whips grow bigger for its finishers, which is one of the factors that allows it to grab bigger enemies. In Umbran Climax its whips are always finisher sized.
Alruna's bullet climax on the left. Gif on the right shows that it can grab two enemies simultaneously.
Just thought this looked nice.

Awesome man
Oh wow...lots of cringe-inducing comments right there. Guess that will be the worst event in GAF history lol!
On topic, cool gifs right there. Great stuff! Can't wait to play Bayo 2 right off the bat and replay Bayo 1 like I did on my 360 right after!
Dude. Thank you for that post.
Apart from the new whip I'm not seeing much overlap between the old weapons and the new ones. Even the flame/ice throwers, despite having the elemental stuff in common with the claws from Bayo 1 are pretty different from each other.I love the new scythe, bow and two swords yet i still wait for the return of these beauties:
So I'm kinda expecting all the weapons from the first episode to come back. That would be crazy good.

Scythe is something that I really wanted in Bayonetta. Thanks Hashimoto!

Awesome stuff, Fimbulvetr.
I'm so glad to see Platinum expanding Bayonetta's combat system in ways that make sense. I want to list some of the cool changes and additions I've noticed so far:
- Angel weapons (the ones enemies drop when killed by torture attacks) are mapped to the weak gun button now instead of the punch button like the original game. This is a fantastic change because it gives us access to angel weapon attacks and Bayonetta's full move set at the same time.
- Kick-only combos seem more useful now. They're faster, and there's a launcher in at least one of Love is Blue's combos. So great.
- That punch counterpart to the afterburner kick is an obvious addition that I didn't even consider before I saw it. I'm glad it's in, and glad to see that the attack (apparently) varies between weapons.
- Now that a set of whips can be equipped on Bayonetta's legs, we'll be able to use all of the enemy-grabbing whip functions from the first game without the disadvantage of losing an arm slot to a weak weapon. That said, the new whips seem decently powerful in their own right, not just a weak grappling tool. On top of that, larger enemies can be grabbed, making the whips a viable weapon for practically all of the encounters we've seen so far.
One thing I'm not sure about that I'd really like confirmation on is whether we can activate and deactivate Umbran Climax at any point in a combo. I noticed that UC changes the properties of certain hits, so it would be nice if we could pop it on and off for fine control. For example, some attacks that normally stagger enemies will juggle them with UC. Potentially, we're looking at a new layer of combo possibilities.

You shouldn't be, its actually the best marketing Nintendo can have.
People are paying attention and talking about the game.
The more hate Nintendo gets, the more valuable the game becomes.
And I bet you dollars to donuts that a lot of those loudmouths will
eventually cave in and buy the WiiU.

I think that's my favorite addition so far. Finally I can start combos off with kick instead of my usual PPKP/PKP/PPKK/etc variety
That could be a good OT title if the use of 'fuck' was okayed.

I don't think anything has been released on how the two compare. But, if anyone can make Bayonetta look and perform better than the original it's P*.
I guess they got...Nintendorare'd (NTR'd)

Everything points to constant 60fps and no screen tearing plus bonus costumes. No screen tearing alone makes it superior to me.
Thank you for the link and gifs, that was amazing, best presentation of this game by far. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Good write-ups.
I was already trusting that Hashimoto would give us a great sequel, but now I think he's just going to give us a great game, period.
Unless I'm mistaken, there hasn't been any sign of "Press X or Die" QTEs yet, right?
Haven't seen a single one, and there have been plenty of opportunities for them. I assume they're out.
Also, "mash" QTEs seem to go up a lot quicker. The "level" seems to increase each time the button is pressed, as opposed to the original where it took ~5 presses to get a level. I liked the satisfying intensity of mashing in Bayonetta 1, but my thumbs probably won't mind some rest. I accumulated a lot of battle wounds from Torture Attacks in Bayonetta 1.

The gameplay is incredible. I never thought I would be this excited for Bayonetta.
Oh man the game is looking good, I can't wait to play it after finishing Bayonetta 1 Wii U edition.
Bowser will be my slave.
I wonder how many butt hurt people will post in the Bayonetta 2 OT thread crying over how Nintendo "stole" the game and how they "can't" play it.
Of course if they had any sense they won't post or risk a ban.
All the hands on so far show it being pretty rock solid with no tearing.
Plus Link and Samus costumes.
Easily the best version.

Eh. Odette would be pretty redundant unless its move set was changed.I love the new scythe, bow and two swords yet i still wait for the return of these beauties:
At best, I could see them as secret unlocks. Definitely wouldn't be showing up during a first playthrough, tho.
The last gif I posted shows it being activated for the last two attacks in the combo. Not sure about deactivating it, but I'd assume it's also in there.

Looks amazing, seriously can't wait >.<
In terms of additions yes!
Peach Costume allows you to use Bowser for wicked weave
Man I really hope you can use the Peach costume from the start of the game.
Man I can't wait for this game. Seeing it at 60fps yesterday on twitch was amazing!
Some random hype gifs
Impossibu! how in the hell....
I rewinded a bit and...
Is that a Splatoon hat?
Looks like the guy was cosplaying as the inking. It's amazing how the game is getting so much love and it isn't even out yet.
Man it really does look like that Nintendo gave Bayonetta 2 a bigger budget than Sega did for Bayonetta 1.

I know!
It's the main reason why I want to do another run through the original before I start Bayo2
Which would all be good news for me, as well.
Even the likes of having a level involving Bayo using a Mecha are much more appealing ideas to me than having more AfterBurner sequences. :lol
Same. And if their hints about Bowser possibly showing as a Summon Attack are true...!

Awesome! I actually watched that gif for a while before I posted. Couldn't quite figure out what was going on. It wasn't until now that I thought to check Bayonetta's magic bar, oops.
Nintendo wouldn't go that far, do you see Bowser eating/dismembering bosses?
Would be crazy and awesome!
Did I do this right? for smash code
