And all with this without sacrificing quality content.

Man, I'm going to miss dropping trees, webs and baiting a gravedigger to lob my opponent into a minefield while spamming delayed exe beasts. But new Testament sill looks fun.

As a Testament main back in the good old days of +R, there are things I love about the new Testament, and things I don't. Love: their new design. Holy crap they look AMAZING now. As other commenters have noticed, so much care and detail went into this character, and I can't get enough of it. Just watching Testament move around the screen and activate moves is a joy for the eyes. Don't love: the loss of the tree and the invisible spider web. I understand why it had to happen... But I kinda miss Testament being an unconventional zoner that relies on traps and mind games. Having them be a more conventional zoner, that relies on projectiles, is... Not a BAD thing per se, but a significantly less fun one for sure.

Ah, another character to make Potemkin's life difficult. Challenge accepted.
