Jubei is not a furry either. He's a cat that talks and walks upright. He also has a human form.
And Tao has normal hands and feet (and boobs). The sleeves she uses are actually weapons for her kind. Kokonoe has them too, but she doesn't wear them all the time.
Jubei's an anthropomorphic animal. That's a type of "furry" character, no matter what kind of stigma you're trying to attach to the word.
And no, she doesn't. When she gets electrocuted, we see she has paws. Sorry to burst your bubble. And wow, she has tits. So do most furry characters. Your argument is invalid without me even having a bird for hair.
I'm well aware of her attacks and that picture. So she looks mostly human. What's your point? Are you actually trying to say she's human? Sounds to me like you're some kind of furry in denial.
Wow... You just don't get it. I'm not talking about her glove things, genius, SHE HAS ACTUAL PAWS FOR HANDS AND FEET UNDER HER OUTFIT.
Your argument is about as valid as the claim that Felicia's a regular woman in a cat costume. Knowing how you're acting here, I bet you think that too.
And here's another tip for you--I have in-game material to support my claim, you have no official sources whatsoever and an apparent fear of furries to back up yours. This would mean you either need to find some evidence aside from saying "Kokonoe has hands" or not argue back at all.
TheSwedishElf said: Really? Then we must be imagining the tail, ears, teeth, paws, cat behaviour, and backstory about her being a clone of a superpowered cat.
To me, furry is all about having fur (on the normal human parts, that is. neko tail and ears don't count ) and/or an unhuman-like face. Unfortunately, there's no real way to tell if she's furry or not. But really, I doubt BlazBlue would do that.
And yeah, neko =/= furry. If you've followed anime and stuff long enough, you'd know.

Again--tail, paws, sharp animal teeth, ears, cloned from a catlike warrior, case closed.

There's only a difference to those afraid of the stigma attached to the word "furry".
Adding to my above post, Japan has no distinction between the two, they're all kemonomimi or simply kemono. So, yeah, this "neko isn't furry" crap is just otaku westerner bullshit-speak for "I want to fap to catgirls without being associated with furries".

Well, if the expert says so the- wait, I smell bullshit.
TheSwedishElf said: And I smell a group of complete morons afraid to face a simple truth and using a speshul weeaboo favourite word to hide from the furries.
I smell a douchebag who not only can't understand a simple truth, but also holds himself as some supreme internet authority that nullifies the opinion of the rest of the internet population.

The irony of this quote being directed towards me by the very type of person it's describing is undeniable.
btw, you weeaboos do realize that essentially saying "cat isn't furry" makes you look epicly stupid on top of not accepting that Tao is inhuman, right?
Kid, do you even know what you're talking about ? Of course she's inhuman - she a clone of a non-human speicmen mixed with human genes. And of course cats have fur - are you retarded or what ? If you meant that cats are Furry, as in members of a certain demographic of HUMANS, then I'll just go with the "you're retarded" opinion. Next thing you say is that all humans are furies because we have body hair like cats.
Look, everyone here already knows that you're wrong so stop being in denial because you're just making a fool out of yourself.
First off, "kid"? Last time I checked, I'm a grown man. You're just mad that I actually shot back at you instead of whimpering a surrender.
Second, have you not noticed that people here seem to be unwilling to accept that Tao is more cat than they might be comfortable with? And apparently you aren't either if you still insist that I'm wrong.
Third, I'm just pointing out how stupid the statement sounds when you realize that "neko" is "cat", not a magic word that protects something from the touch of TEH EVIL FURRIES.
You're "kid" not because of your age, but because you act childish, trying to put down your feet and accusing everyone of being a furry because it turned out you're wrong. And I'm hardly mad, I got used to half-assed trolls like you.
And maybe they don't want to agree with it because, you know, she isn't ? Ears and tail doesn't make a furry, and apparently everyone except for you knows that. They even pointed out that she has human hands etc in their posts based on official artwork but you're still in denial and using an animation for a JOKE reaction of a JOKE character that suggests that she would also have crossed eyes and giant fishes where her blades are.
...and how is that stupid ? Neko = cat and nekomimi = cat ears. Not neko = furry. For example, the name Albert Einstein doesn't protect from furries, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't one. Hint: Furry character have *cough*fur*cough*. You know, if you googled "furry taokaka" on devart you'd most likely find a Furry rendition of her, with you know, fur. Hope that helps you learn the difference.
I had originally posted a long-winded reply of my own, but then I realized a couple of things--you're not worth the time I wasted that I can never have back, and you'd probably just shoot back with the same tl;dr bullshit as before. So have fun believing whatever the hell you want.
Protip before I go do better things with my time though: The official art mentioned on this page didn't even show her hands. Everything that depicts her with human hands is fanart made by people who just assume she has them. From what we've seen so far, she doesn't have human hands, so until we see something official to prove otherwise, you have nothing to back your claim, and that sprite is all we have to indicate what she has on the ends of her arms. Same goes for her feet, unless perhaps you think she wears uncomfortable-looking boots made for digitigrade feet for the fun of it.
Might also interest you to know that, according to in-game text, that's her face. Not a mask, her face.
Ahahaha oh wow - "not worthy" ? After all those responses ? Weak.
Well, two can play that game - you're still just spewing bullshit and accuse other people of being in denial when it's just you. What I posted up until now proved you wrong multiple times and everyone can see that you're just too butthurt to admit that you were wrong. Also, really, the boots ? Look at Rachel's or Kokonoe boots, they wear bizarre ones as well, but not because of deformed feet, but just like Taokaka, it's part of her IMAGE and animal motifs.
Well, I guess I already "wasted" enough time on you, where everyone gave up on you - although I guess you like to believe that's because you proved something to them instead of just being annoying. Well, I guess at least one of us has to act as a adult and end this. See ya.
P.S.
I know you'll try to write a response to have the last word and seem like some sort of champion of internet fight and bearer of truths - that's what you kids do. Anyway, sorry but I won't even bother to read that since it's going to be troll bullshit anyway. To sum it up:
Good god you guys, I wasn't even starting to provoke a flame war. I was just remembering a comment I read once, and next thing I know, I come back to this 3 months later and see people name-calling each other over what constitutes a furry character. This is something best left for other forums, isn't it?
Thanks for all of the lols though. <3
On another note, a Guilty Gear/BlazBlue crossover would be amazing.
