Raidhyn Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I toyed around with Noel and Ragna, played Rachel a bit, tried out Hakumen, played Jin and he was too easy... Then I started practicing with Arakune and went online with him, won the match with a curse corner trap and actually began to laugh aloud in the most evil fashion possible. Thus: Arakune.
unkyrona Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Generally I like fast characters so thats why I chose Taokaka. I kinda like how Rachel handles so I may sub her. Heck, I may reverse my main sub, but I need to practice with Rachel something fierce.
kuma Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Being a Bridget player in GG, I tried Carl first, and went away unfulfilled. He was interesting, but not fun. Played some Litchi and Bang, and I liked both of them, but neither enough to want to main them. Then I played as Noel and everything just seemed to click. I have a lot of fun doing rushdown (if Aba had come into the series earlier, I might have played her more), so Noel seemed perfect.
Meaty Moments Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 i picked carl b/c he's got this campy appeal to him. plus, nobody else plays as him so i feel special and unique.
Outfoxd Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I have really short memory. Combos don't stay with me long. Tager was right there, waiting.
dragontamer Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Generally, I know I like faster characters, so I started off with Taokaka. Her movement was too erratic, so I then just explored everyone. I epic-failed Litchi, Carl, Ragna, Hakumen, Arakune, Bang, and Tager so they were off. However, Bang was so awesome I plan to make him my secondary. Jin, Rachael, Nu-13, and Noel work decently with me, and of the four, Noel just felt the most natural. Thus, I picked Noel and am subbing Bang. I mained Milla Rage in Guilty Gear, and both characters really feel similar in different ways. Noel has Milla Rage's combo ability, while Bang has Milla's approach game. Like Milla, Bang has a limited number of air projectiles (ie: the nails), but they _really_ help him get in. I also like the double air dash, even if he is a good deal slower than Milla. ------------ A friend of mine picked Nu-13 because he mained Dizzy. Kind of the obvious choice really.
sword for hire Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I called Tao the moment that I saw her. When selecting my characters, I usually base my choice off the aesthetic appeal of the character, and the actual character themselves (story, personality, etc.). The whole genetically-engineered descendant of Jubei thing isn't exactly my cup of tea, but she's absolutely adorable, which more than makes up for it. I love the way she plays. She's very direct. Get in close to the enemy, and wreak as much havoc as possible. She seems to be one of the more difficult characters to play (from what I've gathered, anyway), and I always enjoy a challenge. ...the fact that I have a thing for catgirls doesn't hurt, either.
EagleJin Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I always play the big, brutal, bad and the ugly, so Tager was an obvious choice. Subbinb Hakumen because of his awesomeness with counters and extreme punishment capability.
Critical Edge Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I chose Taokaka as my main just because of her character design, plus the fact that I love combo heavy characters. However, playing with a PS3 controller made playing her frustrating. I couldn't get Hexa Edge out when I wanted to (If at all), and I would mash so much that I'd do Almost Becoming Two on accident (I got out of mashing though). Her Brutal Kitty Fest was easier to throw out, but I'd keep doing it when it was too late (My friends usually catch on if I'm trying to do a special). Because of that, I decided that I was going to branch out and see if I could do better with other characters. Thus, began my journey through the cast. It started when I got home with some friends after playing Brawl over one of their houses at around 9 pm or so. I told them about BlazBlue and they wanted to try it. I played with Taokaka at first, but I quickly got beaten down by my friend's Hakumen because I didn't know how to approach him correctly. I even had trouble with him in Arcade Mode. After that loss, I decided to start what I said to myself I was going to do. First, I picked Arakune since I like his whole demeanor (His broken words and laughing is awesome). I didn't do too well and got beaten again, while my friends were beating each other playing as Ragna, Jin, even my younger sister was getting wins by D-Spam with Noel. So, I tried out Ragna. I didn't know anything about him and we all decided not to look at the characters' moves - just figure stuff out. I loved playing with Ragna. It was easier to get in and he had a lot of options (To me, anyway). In two rounds I learned Inferno Divider, Dead Spike, Hell's Fang and the move that connects after that, Gauntlet Hades and the spinning kick after that too. The only reason why I knew their names was because he was saying them too. My personal favorite was Inferno Divider. I got in some pretty sick combos as well. ??? > Inferno Divider > 2 punches (bounce off the wall) > Jump > Random Combo > Dropkick or something like that. I watched my friends play a Mirror Match with Tager while they didn't know anything about playing him much to my horror. While watching I was like "... well fuck that." Played with Jin. I didn't really get him until I learned how to do his Ice Car. Vrroooom Vrrrrrroooooooom. Noel made me rage because I would do Bloom Trigger in the middle of a combo and get molested by my friends' characters. Needless to say I liked playing with her too - but not as much as playing with Ragna. Then I returned to Taokaka again after my disaster with Carl. For the first time, I landed 6A > 2D > JC > 9D > JC > 236BBBBB. I was so damn happy. For some reason I instantly got better with her after playing with everyone else. I couldn't do her specials that much like before, but I could combo much better, and I got better at handling her Drive. So, after hours and hours of playing one another, here's what we came up with: Me: Taokaka (Main), Ragna, and Noel. Friend 1: Bang (Main), Rachel, and Litchi. He can get off most of Bang's specials, even Furinkazan easy. He takes advantage of his super armor too. He's not that good with Litchi yet, but he's a fast learner. He spammed Jump > JA JA JA > Electric Chair with Rachel - and it worked on us. Friend 2: Ragna and Jin (In the pink). He's playing with them both and doesn't have a main yet, but he's pretty beast with Jin. I have an upperhand on Ragna though. Friend 3: Hakumen (Main). This guy was kicking everyone's ass with Hakumen until we got the hang of our characters. Younger Sister: Noel. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Little Brother: Ragna, Jin, and Noel. This child is 9 years old. Tell me how can he possibly beat all of us cleanly with Ji- ICE CAR. He spammed with Noel too but he's just a child, he doesn't know any better.
VVSolVV Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Perfectly valid reason. Also, mind if I put this in my sig? lol such a late reply, but do what you gotta do.
Shiawase Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I main Rachel because she's a loli vampire who uses traps. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!
Istillduno Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I main Rachel because she's a loli vampire who uses traps. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?! Very awesome
Phrekwenci Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I've always sided with the weird character (Shun Di, Brad Wong, Shuma Gorath, Voldo, Zappa) so the natural progression of things was leading toward Arakune. Problem was, he was boring me because the bugs basically do a lot of the work for you and I can't negative edge well on the pad. Then, I switched to Litchi which fits my style, having different stances and move-sets keeps me interested (as all those characters show, except for Shuma).
Kyosuke Kagami Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Picked Rachel because: -Her design. -I wanted a change of styles for BlazBlue. Being a Ky / Robo Ky / HOS player in GG, I wanted something different. A zoning and traps char like Rachel was perfect.
Reioumu Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I thought no one would choose Bang back when it was arcades only.
Caligula Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Im a dedicated faust in GG, so I didn't really have an obvious char to transition playstyles into. I figured I would go for arakune and gave him a solid try, but I honestly hated using those bugs and wandered aimlessly around the cast till seeing (and hearing) FRKZ for the first time.... (BANG!, BANG! BANG! BANG!, and so on) After graduating from just trying to FRKZ all day I really started enjoying his relentless pressure, so he stuck.
tsukachan Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Well I still haven't excalty got a main yet. I'm still got litchi, rachel, ragna, nu and bang. I have dropped noel (I wanted to main her but her style is just not mine:gonk:), arakune (very horrible movement), jin (just because of that ice car move i just don't like riding it) and taokaka (because her drive is another ice car). I like very aggressive characters with trap with a variety of pressure mix-up. I would like to vs some people to ask who they think who should I main.
Chainsaw Guitar Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Jin motherfuckin' Kisaragi because he is the most epic troll ever born. When fighting someone, I bet his entire train of thought consists of "i freeze u rage". But seriously... Just look at that fucking sneer. He knows he's gonna kick your ass.
Bommlinger Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Hi guys I need help on deciding on a Sub. my main is Noel. She's the rushdown type, and I want something to complement that. Also, i want a character that I can incooperate my own style into. Sure most chars allow that to some extent, but most of the chars you pretty much have to play "by the book" to be somewhat decent. I've been thinking of Carl, Arakune or Rachel. I feel those 3 allow some creativity in playstyle. Carl - I know it sounds silly, but if he didn't have the clap loop, I would be all over him. I just don't want to rely on the clap loop which is a total mood killer for me (the dev's surely didn't have a clap loop mind when creating him) Rachel: While I'm not really into the loli thing, her style is pretty cool and her lenghty combos are just a pleasure to watch. Also I LOVE her Oki which Noel completely lacks in my opinion. Arakune: Well, I'm not really into the blob thing either, but there's just something about him, which appeals to me. can't figure out what it is tho. (flying around in the air is NOT it tho) What do you guys think? I'm sure the Clap loop will be out sooner or later, and if they happen to make Carl actually somewhat decent I would have a head start if I started playing him now. Rachel: OKI rox, her pressure game is great, as well as her spacing and combos, although the character design isn't very appealing to me. Arakune: No idea what makes me want to play him to be honest.... I'd love to hear some input from you guys.

One black paint to represent Arakune, Red for Rachel and purple for Carl. All have their unique style and each one is considerably difficult to play as. (Except Arakune). Otherwise you'll be stuck for a long time.
Bommlinger Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 difficult = good I'm definitely in for the long run not for the quick win.
