The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

[doom dragon 105]

Yes Hazuma epic got my main and a sub now ^_^ Noel and Hazuma

 

[Yaya]

What I'm wondering is why he's still being called Hazama, doesn't everybody but Tsubaki

Spoiler

know him as Terumi

?


Spoiler'd because some people actually might not of finished this game's story yet.

 

[doom dragon 105]

So yeah lets try and join Doom's awesome tournament

 

[TropicalTaco]

Jin's looking like crap...

 

[epic of DE]

Jin's looking like crap...

Jin's starting to look like Ky...

Its all still in the works so maybe the developers will realize that they were a tad harsh on some characters and that resulted in them being crippled to some degree.

I guess this the season for sequels(?) since BlazBlue and Street Fighter 4 are getting an update with new characters, system changes, and balancing to make match-ups more balanced.

Though...I heard that Lambda-11 has only 5k hp...I didn't like Nu but somehow that seems way to fragile since its only one or two combos that will kill her...well I'll have to see how they turn out when vids get released.

 

[Lythium]

As CRASHiC already said, none of these changes are final. We can speculate, but I think it's a bit rash to make any judgements before the final product has been released.

 

[Havoc Zephyr]

Man these new screenies look wicked.....


if anyone wants to go at it, I'm a Tao main :D

my gamertag is HavocZephyr

 

[doom dragon 105]

[Lythium]

Hawt pictures are hawt. I'm really starting to look forward to this.

 

[darkserenade]

Lol, Bang's CSS artwork looks like he's saying "Litchi, you better jump into my manly chest...Wut? You're not?" On another note, it sounds like George XIII got nerfed to hell.

Oh, and Hazama's theme has to be this (no, it's not Smooth Criminal by MJ):

So you DO know...
What's your Dustloop name?

I'm ryokoalways. . . nah just kidding. I don't have an account, I just lurk there a ton for GG and BB.

Sucks.
If you do decide to join, I'm known as "Skye" There.
Arakune & Hakumen main.
Jin & Tager secs.

lol secs.

 

[Gates]

Crashic, what about Nu/Lambda?

 

[CRASHiC]

Nothing has changed from the last test yet Gates. This was more to fix some accidental bnb combos being taken out and to test Hazama.
They even called this an emergency test

 

[Gates]

Oh ok.

And what exactly does the butterfly do?

This Litchi is so sexy:

I just beat a level 70 Nu, so I just turned off my Playstation. There's no way I'm topping that tonight.

Was it Kijea? I've seen him time to time but I could never even touch him.
I played him earlier this week. I almost won the match...

I think I've been improving now. I could rarely win ranked matches in the past.

I think it was him. It was a close match either way.

And I feel the same way about improving. I've played this one Hakumen main, Dat-EDZ, in more ranked matches than anyone else. Before, he used to own me; I think I played him in six straight matches one day, and he beat me every time. But in the last month or so, I've beaten him every time we've played. It's pretty gratifying, but I know I still have a long way to go in terms of improving.

Hazama Footage. Enjoy. Its pretty sexy.

 

[epic of DE]

Hm...I know its still in testing but...Hazama looks pretty nasty to me.

The hitbox on that chain seems to be the green "aura" as well as the actual chain so...its pretty big based on my opinions.

I almost hate watching these tests because so many things I want to try it and see how they revised some characters and also the new ones, but alas Japan is so far away

 

[CRASHiC]

looks to me more like a case of sand baggin than the Haz being broken.
Here's some more of the new charecters for you:

i've seen the chain go through people, so i don't think the chain itself is an active hitbox.

but, yeah, he totally looks amazing! i'm hoping he's not easy to play so i won't feel like a jinspammer or something when i grab him as my secondary ;x thusfar, it's looking like he won't be, with weird mobility and low health, but who knows...

 

[The Milk Monster]

Thanks for the link to Dustloop.
I'll idolize it once I get my copy of BlazBlue.

Anyone on PSN, PM me and we can play some next week.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I discovered something interesting today: when Hakumen does his Distortion counter (the red one), if you burst as he slashes through you, you don't get hit by it.

I'm not claiming this is new or anything, and I'm not sure how specific the timing is (I've only done it once, just as a "why not" thing since I would have died regardless). I saved the replay, but of course that means nothing since I can't send it to anyone

Did he counter a projectile? Or did he counter one of your moves directly so you were frozen in place?

 

[The Milk Monster]

I would imagine a projectile, since he was still able to move and such.
Bursting is so handy, especially with Haku-men, and Tager, since their health is sooooooo high.

 

[Minato]

I would imagine a projectile, since he was still able to move and such.

If that's the case, then jumping out of the way of his slash is a better method than bursting.

 

[The Milk Monster]

True, it could've happened on accident, or if you're low health, bursting is fine I suppose.
And it all kinda' depends on who he was.
