The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

[Minato]

It's fine to play cautious every now and then, especially if you're trying to get a read on your opponent. Even if you might end up doing worse, it might pay off later on by helping your fundamentals build up. It's helpful to try and think less along the lines of "how am I going to hit him" and more "what does he want to do" sometimes in a match. Try to use your meter more too. I remember you said you had issues remembering to RC, so you should practice it. Even outside of combos, it can create a frame trap or apply more pressure.

One more thing I forgot to mention is maybe be more conscious with my guard primer. There are times when I had one left so I tried to stay out of at least 3C distance. This also means the same for yours. Saving two bursts in round 2 means 1 primer left.

Also, I'm glad that it looked like you started doing Assault Through less on block. You only did it twice in a match. One of them I threw you out of on start up (since that's how you're usually supposed to punish it). I did get hit by the second one, but you still refrained from using it and doing bloom trigger or prematurely ending your drive string. I can still try to punish by doing Noel's counter assault (which is gone in CP) roll and hitting you during the start up. If anyone does that, make sure RC.

I should probably thank you for reminding me about the guard primer thing. Especially with regards to the bursts because I honestly kinda forgot about that. One issue I think I have to get over is that in a bunch of games like this and Persona, I have a tendency to think that "Super Meter is meant for Super Moves, nothing else", and wonder about other applications of it such as RCs in this and OMCs in P4A. I kind of have a similar mindset with Gold Bursts and OMBs too, even though I tend to be kinda alright when it comes to EX Moves.

 

[Crusayer]

Well primers won't matter once CP comes out

 

[Lythium]

I know, it'll be sweet to be able to guard break Tager. :3c

Livewire, you can practice tick throws in training mode to figure out the timing. Keep in mind that it'll be different timing for whatever move you're using (5A, 2A, j.A, etc).

Holy crap, I didn't even think of that. That shall be awesome.

Just pick Jin. Initiate block strings all day, you'll have a sad Tager in no time.

"Nearly ALL of my **** is safe, guise!" <--- Jin.

(I'm exaggerating, of course.)

Good luck. You know they're gonna churn that butter during that start up. D:

Also amusing how Tager was the easiest to guard crush in CT.

At least it's not CT Jin.

5B vacuum effect which is safe on block.

Guard libra, what's that?

 

[LivewiresXe]

Oh lord, THAT 5B...yeeaaahhh...I have to admit that while I'm not initially terrified of the new CP Jin, I'm also very sure that will change when the game comes out over here and I start playing against people using him.

 

[Spelt]

Nothing is safe against tager.

 

[Crusayer]

Erryone gon enjoy dem air 360s

Now with butter IN THE AIR.

Fixed for ya.

This and the fact he can angle sparkbolt has me intimidated of the new Tager... but so it is and so I will re-learn.

 

[Lythium]

 

[LivewiresXe]

Urgh...things keep looking worse and worse for that tier list there...

 

[Lythium]

Early impressions, take with a grain of salt.

I tells ya, Lythi, I'm thinking I'm so salty over it, I might have just taken the whole freaking shaker, let alone a grain.

Well, it does seem like you're rather salty about it.

So, yes. :3c

 

[Rutger]

Looks like I will not get to see my dream of a Tsubaki at the top in this game either. I had hope for Izayoi but I guess Chipp + I-no stays low tier.

But at least Noel is low, I can be happy with this. :3

 

[GigaBowserXyZ]

Tao, Valk, and Haz S tier again. I'm surprised. :O

Spoiler

sarcasm btw

 

[Lythium]

But it won't stop scrubs from mashing D. :<

Unfortunately, no.

Which is why we need a character with Baiken's button sealing attacks!

Pfft, haters always gonna hate.

 

[Jdietz43]

Ragna not A+ or S tier!? What is this blasphemy! (finally)

I'm not too ecstatic about someone considering Litchi S+ though, I don't really love the idea of being "that character" again like in CS1. But it beats C tier.

Hey, if you'd rather not have Litchi be "that character", I'm sure we'd gladly trade with you guys, lol.

 

[Spelt]

Rachel better than Ragna/Platinum?

I have trouble believing that.

So, thoughts on the whole "Noel doesn't wear panties" thing?

What's the whole reasoning behind that, I mean I know it's pandering to fans, but I mean the cannon reason. After all, she's supposed to be shy and all, it kinda breaks her character, especially with her new look in CP. Imagine her doing a Muzzle Flitter like that... Is that like, her combat strategy or something?

 

[Lythium]

There is no canon, regarding Noel's panties or lack thereof. However, the rumour came about because they were never explicitly shown, and Noel has a magic skirt that never reveals them.

And now we have resorted to talking about a fictional character's undergarments. ._.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Is it strange that I didn't even notice? But uh...it COULD be a combat strategy. I mean...canonically in KOF Mai Shiranui dresses like she does with the uh...chest exposure as a part of a female ninjitsu bit that focuses on distracting the opponent's attention, so...it could be.

 

[Deleted member]

Well according to /vg/ the director of BB (Mori I think it was?) gets angry when people draw fan-art of Noel with panties, also there's official fan art showing she's clearly not wearing any.

It's weird though, this is the same girl that gets embarrassed about how lewd Mu form is. I'm so confused...

And yes, we are talking about a fictional character's undergarments.... Hahaha.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Ugh....I can't believe I actually went and checked because it makes me feel creepy and kinda dirty but...I checked a still screen of her j.D, and an official artwork piece of her from either CT or CS1 where it looks like she's doing Bloom Trigger and in both it looks pretty plainly like she's wearing panties to me.

*sigh* I'm 25 years old, what the hell am I even doing?

Gahahaha, embrace the Dark Side young one...

I'm actually surprised you never heard of this, the panties thing was one of the first things I got wind of over on 4chan when I first got into BB. Then again, it IS 4chan.

 

[Lythium]

Uh, why don't you guys take the panties discussion to PMs or something?

I don't really care, but a mod might, and the discussion is starting to get a bit borderline. I don't really want to have this thread locked.

I kinda agree. I feel a bit uncomfortable talking about weird/random stuff like this in general let alone in an open topic like this. I don't mean to be offensive Spirit, but would you mind possibly dropping the discussion before it gets uh...weirder? And plus...doesn't posting a picture with swearing flat out in it go against the foul language sensor rule thing or whatever into and of itself?

I wasn't planning on taking it any further anyways. I'll delete that image as well, no worries.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.
