I've heard of players outright refusing to use certain valid tactics simply because that's how they play, and it seems to be an oddly prevalent mindset.

*Whistles*

[Seiki]

What evidence is there that points to that mindset being "prevalent"? And how are you not judging when you just said "[they] never take advantage of that conditioning" that is judging/criticizing.

I MEANT GOOD PLAYERS, JACKIE. (<3)

Because I was pointing out that I want to know why they don't. Is there some sort of house rule where they just don't utilize certain tactics? Are they unaware of those tactics? Are those tactics even fully applicable? I came in pointing out my point of view and then questioning the things I perceived so that I could check my information against someone else who might have some insight. I figured it would go without saying that this tactic was the stuff of theory-craft and should be treated as such.

I think the main meat of the matter is that Japanese players are incredibly safe players. Look at JP Platinum pressure, now look at American players, they do not fit together because American players will mash out of it like their life depends on hitting 5A instead of learning to block an overhead.

Also, I can't say I've seen the video you're talking about, but when I hear whiff punish and respectful players in the same post it seems like we're talking two different things, unless we're talking footsies.

[Seiki]

Then you should phrase questions not statements if your intent is to question. You may start off asking why but afterwards when you started to phrase your "questions" as statements it is interpreted as criticism.

[Volpe-de-Glacio]

I guess I wasn't specific enough, I'll remedy that in future posts. My original post was a question, and I'll admit that what followed it was critical of perceived errors in their play-style, but I intended for that criticism to in turn be picked apart for its own errors. I was aware of the fallings of theory-craft throughout, I was just attempting to promote discussion. If I was told I was wrong through a complete break down of my posts, I would not mind at all, as it was the main reason I made them in the first place.

'Sup dude.

A Konami employee took gold medal in men's overall gymnastics.

America takes men's doubles tennis, making USA the only country to win doubles tennis twice so far.

Venus and Serena looking strong, too.

[Seiki]

America is straight raping this year. We have the most gold medal wins so far in this year's Olympics.

Chrono Phantasma. New characters new moves redrawn sprites.

I'm calling it right now. The BlazBlue Community will play it until even a whiff of a patch, expansion, or next game and then will be widely completely dropped. It's happened every single time and I laugh it up when it does. It seems to me that every "anime-fighter" considered game has this problem.

Edit: my bad I didn't mean to start off the discussion with negativity. I'm pumped for hatless Noel and new characters. Dark Tsubaki. New distortion Hazama.

[Milln]

Hahahahahahahha from Axis' twitter:

I AM THROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING!? HOLY FUCK MAN THIS PISSING ME OFF!

[Jackie Chandler]

I just Astral Finished all over my computer screen.

[Klein]

Haha, Jackie.

I'm thinking too little, too late on BB for me to pick it up all SRS BSNS. But I'd like to see the new characters, and if they added hard knockdowns. /NUDGE, NUDGE ARCSYS.

klein showed me this this morning.

Things I noticed:

-None of the new characters look dumb, character design wise,

The first one, who I think may be a dude, turns ragna into a kid in the video.

-Bullet looks cool. (punch shit hard) So does Azrael.(murderchoke, teledash, punch shit hard)

-No Mu/Lambda

-I hope they add new costumes for everyone not noel as well. I'm tired of seeing makto's tits hang out.

-ALL of the stages shown in the trailer are bonerific, but I've always liked blazblue's aesthetics and not much else.

-DANZAI

-Tager bodyslam

-Ragna has a legit bandit revolver scythe thing where he says jamenandayo

-giant mech at end of video. blazblue logo in the middle.

= Timing in blazblue's life points to this being blazblue's #RELOAD, but that is a really weak connection. Aut other than that, nothing else points to this changing anything about blazblue.

So despite the demand for characters such as Jubei and Kokonoe, they instead add 3 brand new characters? That's brilliant. Damn.

If they make changes so that BB becomes fun for me again, I'll give it a shot. Otherwise it'd end up being the same old unfun stuff for me except with a fresh coat of paint (and in Noel's case, a more revealing outfit. Good job >_>)

CHRONO MUTHA FUCKIUN PHANTASM !!

GIVE IT TO US RIGHT THIS TIME AKSYSTEM!!

CHRONO MUTHA FUCKIUN PHANTASM

NINE!!!! OTHER BITCHES I DON'T CARE ABOUT!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where do you see Nine?

They will more than likely add Kokonoe or Jubei later, as they did with Mu, Shadow Labrys, Labrys and Elizabeth. They can't reveal everything right now, because then there would be nothing else to look forward to after we know the changes.

[LastStarSaviour]

Sorry, I just saw someone who kind of resembled what she was supposed to look like. That coupled with hype killed my sense of sight.

Now that i'm calm (I literally just woke up and saw that shit, ran outside and dance about in the middle of the street like a giddy school-girl)

[Seiki]

They'll probably make Jubei and Kokonoe DLC on the console version along with like Torakaka or some shit. Each BB after CT had DLC I don't see why this one wouldn't. And then they will make a BB ChronoPhantasm Extend and include Jubei, Kokonoe, and Torakaka story modes. lulz.

Bullet reminds me of Zenia from Arcana Hearts 3 lol.

Glad that Bang can use his big nail outside of his Astral. I hope they'll give him a special where he can just throw it and then has to pick it up like Vega from Street Fighter. So now Bang has 5 distortions lol: Ashura, Bang Install, Daifunka, Steel Rain, and now Hammer Time.

Azrael looks cool he's got dem Slayer teleports and he probably hits just as hard. I'm pretty interested in him.

[Astaroth136]

Tager did a body splash. That is all.

[LastStarSaviour]

So...I just saw Noel with a fucking SHOTGUN!!

GAME OVER, FUCKING GAME OVER!!!!

Edit: On a serious note though, i'm really hoping Noel turns out to have a bigger assortment of guns at her disposal this time around. Each one having a different ability that affects how she goes about a match. Still praying for hit-marker set-ups and better mix-up potential (Even though, just giving me a better jump B will take care of that). Curious what they're going to do to her drives, yet again. Also hoping the shotgun doesn't turn out to just be combo fodder and her meta actually gets interesting to me again. This game's got me hot and bothered...maybe

Also, i'm digging all the new characters, think i'm gonna play them all.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned it yet. You know towards the beginning of the trailer, when an announcer says "The Wheel of Fate is Turning"?

IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE COMPLETE AND UTTER ASS.

[Papstr]

Still praying for hit-marker set-ups.

Is that a CoD joke?

EDIT: Jackie you suck. Never actually on Skype. How am I supposed to pester you every day?
