I think a lot more people would main Carl in this game if they didn't have to play as Carl.

Playing as Carl is okay.

Trying to actually do stuff with Carl, on the other hand...
I meant that they don't like the character in terms of having to look at the character.


In tourney news, I'm going to a wedding this weekend and I won't be back to my Xbox until the 3rd. Just plan around me. :)

I actually wasn't too against Carl just on looks alone, but I cannot play Jin, Carl, or Tsubaki after going through story mode. I just can't lend my support to those personalities.

Ragna and Hakumen are kind of bad too.

And, of course, I want to play as Kokonoe and Jubei.

The only characters that really appeal to me as, well, characters are Hazama and Arakune. Everybody else seems to fall into some sort of anime-inspired trope far too easily; those two are a little different. Hazama's intentions are a little more complex than "rule the world" or simple destruction. I enjoy his "troll-ish" demeanor, too. Good to have an enemy that hits his foes below the belt in more ways than one.

Conceptually, Arakune intrigues me; I love tragic figures that go too far in the pursuit of knowledge (Mephistopheles and Faust, King Solomon, etc), and while it was presented in (once again) an anime-inspired way, I have to give him the nod simply on that alone.

XD I'd expand more, but that's just a quick two cents worth.

Congrats! :p






Oh, and hazama's voice actor voices a character on bleach that's basically the exact same character with white hair and no suit. :awesome:

Hazama isn't that different from some anime villains, lots of crazy people doing it for the evulz.

And he totally goes super saiyan.

Though the fedora isn't as common imo.
Can't think of many anime with them.
Except for Baccano!.

Actually, he's not doing it because he's just "evil." He feels that the world has completely gone to **** and its enslaved by the very powers that Rachel serves/rebels against.

It may be similar, sure, but I find it interesting.

I didn't really try to explain it too well, just trying to make a point that he's not that different.

But yeah, you're right, he's more complex than just being evil.

And I agree with you. On the whole anime villain thingie. It's just, yeah, it's infinitely more appealing than the other characters' archetypes.

We've already been over this. BB is a fetish game.

It's a fact.

So, there are archetypes (fetishes) that the characters must conform to.

So, clearly I have a flat-chest, underboob, dat ***, blind, ginger, stupid hat fetish.
