Hmm... I'm totally baffled. is that a similar system to Sinow's Pet system? or an improvement?

its the pet system combined with something else for the different states

Are these different amulet powers upgrading on each other (part 1, then level up to part 2 makes him stronger, etc.) or is each power different, but equally strong?

both? you just get one level up tho
to be exact one of the two states (not powers) doesn't have much difference to the original state
but you get thrown back into it if you are knocked out on the third one or defend without performing a move
so the second one is an indication that the amulet power has been unlocked and he is now capable of going into the third state - activating the amulet power

I don't really know what this does now, but since it's on the same importance as the fusion or LouisEX, this gotta be pretty cool.

Will you add more of those BIG attacks?

no - this is not a 'big' attack
i just think that john is already great the way he is and i won't do any more additions on him the way i do them on other characters (alternatives on his special moves) - so most updates i do for him will be crammed into this

Actually, I wonder if this post even is supposed to be spoilered. Everything I'm talking about there is mentioned un-spoilered in your post :P

wrong
i have extracted everything here that is mentioned unspoilered
but you can keep doing this if you just want to stay safe

next up: a deep combo or freeze icicle cannon
