The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

[Sukai]

Just noticed this thread...

Any 360 owners around here want to get some games in? (Rachel/Tager main, picking up Carl/Tao/Ragna)

Oh, and I don't know if anyone's noticed, but if you break someone's Guard Libra with a Burst then they WILL NOT die, even with Tager's 720. They will still die if you break it legitimately.

Yeah. Litchi matches are still difficult for me. I only win some matches, but they're all due to luck.
I've noticed I played too defensively as I did against Jins in the past.
I tried watching videos, but I only found one good one with MSY (I wasn't searching hard, really).

I still need to read it up on Dustloop though.

Litchi is a pain in the ***, **** up once, and it's a free corner loop if the player knows their ****.

If anyone wants to get torn apart add Lord Qua on XBL.

I think I've fought (and lost to) you.

There is a new Loc test tomorrow. I'll let you guys know what's up. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for crazy buffs for everybody. Until then, enjoy this

So who here plays with an arcade stick and who plays on pad? I prefer the Dualshock for fighting games (the main reason I got a PS3 was because of the controller). I've tried 6-button pads, and I don't like losing the two extra shoulder buttons. I've tried to use stick before as well, but I just can't get any feel for it.

I can't see myself getting good with an Arcade Stick, I stick with controller, after a while, you get used to it.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I have the Hori Fighting Stick for PS3. And I modded my Mad Catz one, but I don't much care for it, truthfully.

Jam, if you want to learn how to play on a stick, you will have to put in lots of practice to get your old skills back. I know I sure did. I couldn't get it either, at first.

I like pad, I just wanted to try stick. I definitely respect stick players though, I'm not coordinated enough to do things like rapid cancel or burst without having them mapped to the extra shoulder buttons.

 

[KosukeKGA]

I'm gonna just blow out and get a SFIV TE stick.

And yeah, I know some friends who have had a stick for 6+ months and they still feel like turds (ever so slightly) whenever they play. They say it's infinitely fun, though.

 

[Lythium]

I find playing with a stick a lot more fun. And it took me a good solid month (at least), before I was back up to my old skills. Not that they're very good anyway. But yeah, if you're serious about learning stick, you just have to suck it up, try hard, and do your best. Also, NEVER go back to playing on a D-pad. Seriously. It'll just ruin whatever skills you've managed to accumulate on stick.

Sometimes, I really do miss my awesome D-pad callous on my thumb though.

 

[CORY]

i bought a sfiv te stick and haven't regretted it yet : D messed around in training for aobut a week relearning my basic comboes, then fine tuned it after about two weeks of playing online.

granted, i'm pretty crappy still, so i miss inputs. but i missed inputs on the 360 pad (i used the analog stick >< i even used it in ggac on ps2...), but it's alot easier to control the buttons i want pressed and the direction i want to input. my main problem is that i rush the button inputs so i end up doing rachel's jb instead of pumpkin ALL THE FUKCING TIME

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Knuxrouge, I'm going to assume "Skye kun" is your XBL? I'll add you soon.

XBL: X the Derp


Also, does anyone know if there's a special type of cord that lets me use a 360 controller on PS3? All the tournaments enforce PS3 as the "go to" system and that controller messes up my execution. :/

Yes, that is my Gamertag.

look up something called a cthulu board. or something similar to that. you'll need to install it into your stick (i think it's just basic soldering, though) but that lets you use it for ps3/ps2 and, i think, pc as well.

also, the tech talk forums on srk have alot of useful information about that stuff on them.

 

[Jam Stunna]

So remind me again why fighting game developers love to give shoryuken-motion moves insane priority and/or invincibility frames?

 

[Sukai]

Street Fighter.

 

[noradseven]

So remind me again why fighting game developers love to give shoryuken-motion moves insane priority and/or invincibility frames?

Because its tradition most of the motions have tendancys.

623/28razy *** priority AA, normally totally unsafe on block/whiff.
236/46: projectile/extra long range poke
421,214,63214,22: Sometimes charges or powerup self moves
421: Anti ground rush down, sometimes also a pressure setup, occasionally DP alt.
214: Pressure/stance setup, or distance punisher.
22: normally a attack that pops out of the ground some distance away, often a trap as well.
63214: its probably going to be a grab sometimes its 632146 though.
41236:Normally a slower/better 236 style move.
360degrees: its a grab
412: its an alpha counter, though 214 is an alpha counter in MB for some reason.

This owns because then I can change fighters and not go, nonono in this game my anti air is 214 instead of 623, and confuse myself.

 

[CRASHiC]

Jin's going to be top tier this game.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

I dunno if this was already posted, but...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMRqwj4l3rs&feature=sub

CS OP?

 

[Sukai]

Seems cheap, most of it was animations/pictures from Calamity Trigger.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Thanks for pointing out the obvious,

The trailer didn't show much gameplay, mostly just possible story events and animations. Most of the gameplay shown is what we've already seen. It's probably a promotional trailer.

Unless the make him like he was in loc-test 1 heh.

All the more reason to have more original material!
That's like if they used clips from Sonic Adventure one in their trailer for Sonic Adventure 2.

And look who's talking Mr. Thanks for pointing out the obvious,

 

[Demon Kirby]

It's pretty much the same as the CT Arcade opening.

[noradseven]

Why are you complaining about fighting game openings its tradition for them to be terrible, and just have some spites of the characters and possibly like 5-10 seconds of animated fighting, followed by some more sprites and rad music, I mean seriously now.

 

[Sukai]

Please don't confuse your opinion for fact.
I find quite a few fighting game openings to be quite well done, CT's Arcade (and Console, without mentioning) opening are really good, as well as Smash Bros (Melee), just about every Soul Calibur, Street Fighter 2 (earlier editions), and others.

So being appeased with fighting game openings, it's at least worth noting that CS' opening is a little cheap.

I like them but for the most part they are cheesy, Smash bros really does have a sweet OP, but even the others you mentioned, they just seem cheesy for other reasons, I guess I should of used the word cheesy instead of terrible, its like they are trying to be awesome but somehow failing, I don't know I find them amusing though.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Just so people don't have to watch the thing if they read your post, I have it right there, lol.

EDIT: Is there any full scale artwork out for BB CT/CS?

 

[CRASHiC]

Carl:
Brio can be regular guarded in air (i think that's what it says)

2A>5B>6B>canta>volante>5C>JB>JC>JB>JC 2065
2A>2B>3C>J2C>alle>5C>JB>JC>JB>JC 1600
~3C>input volante>hit downed opponent with 2B>volante hits>5C~ Air combo after 5C not confirmed.
(neesan behind carl)2A>5B>6B>canta>2D>A viva(?)>2C>8D>volante>5B~ (jB doesn't combo afterwards so so knockdown after volante may be a good idea)

6C startup feels the same
focco, 3D no change
Volante > 2A 664
has step jump... holy moly I'm pretty sure I read this right 'ステジャンプ' (this is big change, this can open up quite a few things for carl)
step jump covers 1/3 of screen
step cancel into alle isn't hard, but no use found thus far
ground target jb > jC does not combo (same as CT)

 

[Sukai]

CS Arakune finally has combos!

Blazblue gets the PSP treatment. At the moment I'm excited.


Wii port is now in sights.

 

[Banjodorf]

I don't know, I mean, Melee and Street Fighter 4 have pretty good openings. And a few others.


Also, I can't find Blazblue ANYWHERE, it's bothering me. I really want to play it

 

[Lythium]

I love the openings. They grow on me.

Well, my part of the world still hasn't received BB. The only way to get it, (for me, anyway) was to order it online. Good luck!

 

[The Milk Monster]

Good news, I finally got my copy, and am working on making my Rachel tier, so if anyone wants to play, lemme' know.
My PSN is Milk Laggeh.

 

[Lythium]

Okaaay, so I've picked up Noel again. I can't remember how to approach with her.

Suggestions?

 

[Gates]

I am working on making my Rachel tier

What?

Tier is a noun, not an adjective.

 

[Lythium]

Haha, I didn't even notice that.

Though I suppose you could argue that Rachel could be made a tier unto herself. She is that good.

 

[Sukai]

Okaaay, so I've picked up Noel again. I can't remember how to approach with her.

Suggestions?

You don't.
Bait with backdashes and what not and camp until you see an opening.
That's what I've observed form all the better Noels I fight.

 

[The Milk Monster]

lol, making her tier as in, making my Rachel top tier, instead of mediocre.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Okaaay, so I've picked up Noel again. I can't remember how to approach with her.

Suggestions?

Other than that ^, you can also look up some good Noels on YT, HeartNana is a popular one, but there are many others.

Just to find options (Assuming you know what each moves do as well).

 

[Lythium]

Yeah, I've been playing Noel off and on since I got the game, I just haven't played BB in a couple months, so I need to get my skills back.

Thanks, guys!

 

[Sukai]

Oh, aren't you the Noel I fought a week or so ago?

I am an Arakune player by the GT of "Skye kun".

 

[Lythium]

Hmm, I don't reckon so. I can't even remember the last time I played against an Ara. My PSN is winterlemon.

 

[Sukai]

Ah, you're PSN, I'm XBL, then it must have been another Noel player on smashboards...
Nevermind...

 

[Jam Stunna]

Haha, I didn't even notice that.

Though I suppose you could argue that Rachel could be made a tier unto herself. She is that good.

She really is. I played a Rachel today that rocked my socks. Both times we played, I would come within a hair of beating him in the first round, then he would perfect me in the second round.

And I almost got double-perfected by a chain-grabbing, clap-looping Carl today. The double perfect is just the worst thing that can happen to you

 

[Lythium]

Apparently, they're fixing the clap loop in CS. There's a distinct lack of Carl players on PSN, so I don't come across too many clap-loopers.
