SoWL Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I think his sheer amount of stances and follow-ups is more than enough to consider both for you and your opponent. Maybe OD improves them in some way, but that's it.
FatalCounter Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 So He has a command grab I am falling in love with this character, lol. Since we know he won't be a fast character, having a command grab is very important to open up his opponents or force them to take some risks.
TekkamanArk Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Kagura sounds like tons of fun, i'll have to pick him up. Everything about him just works for me. I do still hope for Jubei, but, Kagura, Azrael, Makoto, and Jin will be duking it out for the spot of main (still going to sub Carl, Tsubaki, Valkenhayn, Amane, Izayoi, and whatever of the potential mains doesn't click as much eith me).
ElegantShadow Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Dear me! I just read the information about Kagura's Drive and... It makes ME (Someone who usually prefers zoners) want to at least try him out. It seems that he'll have quite a few options at his disposal (He actually reminds me a bit of Jin in that regard, both of them seemingly having a tool for every situation, I mean.) Though, considering Kagura's a Charge AND Stance Character, he may be a bit challenging to use. Hopefully not as much of a challenge as a certain... prototype Murakumo Unit. XD
FatalCounter Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 @Tekka, just say you are gonna play all the cast because you love BB, there is nothing bad with that. I can't seriously play more than 4 chars in BBCS EX because I alwant want all my chars to be at the same level and I am playing too much games, so you are lucky and good if you can do it.
Yazumatto Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 If I play him, it's because I want to whack people with a giant sword. Combos are for wimps.
SoWL Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 If I play him, it's because I want to whack people with a giant sword. Combos are for wimps. Respect the shovel, it's what makes Sol and Ragna so good.
FatalCounter Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Respect the shovel, it's what makes Sol and Ragna so good. You forgot Hakumen, lol
Starlight777 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 It's hilarious how how Sol, Hakumen and now Kagura make their blunt weapons seem so much more menacing than Ragna's.
TekkamanArk Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I guess you're right, I like playing a lot of characters. I still usually end up with a main, but I generally play with a lot of the cast in any fighter (except Injustice, where I only especially like Batgirl and Black Adam).
Vulcan422 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 It's hilarious how how Sol, Hakumen and now Kagura make their blunt weapons seem so much more menacing than Ragna's. Ragna's is only threatening during his Astral.
HoudiniJr100 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Respect the shovel, it's what makes Sol and Ragna so good. isn't the term, respect the pi-wait...this ain't marvel. nevermind :P
SoWL Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 You forgot Hakumen, lol That's not a shovel, just a shovel handle at most.
TPPR10 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Combos are for wimps. As a noob, I will sig the crap outta this. It's hilarious how how Sol, Hakumen and now Kagura make their blunt weapons seem so much more menacing than Ragna's. When the fuck was Hakumen's sword blunt Though really, I actually like Blood-Scythe more than the other weapons.
Luminos564 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 It's hilarious how how Sol, Hakumen and now Kagura make their blunt weapons seem so much more menacing than Ragna's. Well then just wait until Ragna gets an alternate form. Maybe when we get to play as either Destructor Ragna or Azure Guardian Ragna will his gun-scythe-cement-block hunk of scrap will actually look like a plausible threat...

For some reason I've always longed to see a Black Beast possessed Ragna become playable since his CS ending. I mean Arc gave us Gundam-Tsubaki and "good-old days" Hazama so he has to be somewhere on the list of 2nd forms right? When the fuck was Hakumen's sword blunt Though really. Sorry for some reason it always reminds me of a metal yardstick. It's like Hakumen is trying to teach me measurements of PAIN! lol.

Considering he's the only "main" character of Blazblue to not have an alternate form yet, I'd say it is a safe bet he'll get one eventually. Though I must confess, I like the idea of an Azure Guardian Ragna a lot, yet I'll be happy with any alternate form he gets so long as it isn't Bloodedge. No offense to anyone who likes him, but if I wanted to play as Ragna without his Azure, I'd just play regular Ragna without using any Drive attacks or any move that requires the Drive button input.
Chaoschao222 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Gotta assume it's a repeated typo of Grimoire. e; welp, guess it wasn't a typo. Edited June 1, 2013 by Chaoschao222
Luminos564 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Azure Guardian Ragna? Jubei brought it up in Ragna's Story Mode flashback to Torakaka. He said that Ragna, as his pupil, has the potential to be either the "Destroyer of the World" or a "Guardian of the Azure". Rachel hopes he chooses the former option since he, in her words, "needs to destroy the twisted order of the world". I'm personally more intrigued what the latter means since it was never explained. I mean, can you imagine Ragna wielding a "purified" Azure Grimmoire and have him wreathed in blue fire? That sounds pretty badass to me. Edited June 1, 2013 by Luminos564

No offense to anyone who likes him, but if I wanted to play as Ragna without his Azure, I'd just play regular Ragna without using any Drive attacks or any move that requires the Drive button input. Unlimited Ragna isn't good enough? I mean if you want ANOTHER alternate form character I would think it'd be the one that actually exists already within the story. Otherwise it would just be Ragna with more dark attacks+always Blook Kain, which Unlimited Ragna already does. Otherwise you're just going to make up a different playstyle "just because" which would be the same exact thing as making Bloodedge. Just seems silly to me. I'd rather there be actual different characters instead of more alternate forms. Jubei, Kokonoe, Nine/Phantom, Saya, Torakaka, Celica, any other characters from the Duodecim families (which leaves a lot of room for "new" and unique characters). Instead people want another Ragna.......
mAc Chaos Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 There needs to just be a game of all Ragnas. Ragna, Unlimited Ragna, Bloodedge, Azure Guardian Ragna, Black Beast Ragna, young Ragna. I'm sure they can come up with more.
Luminos564 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Unlimited Ragna isn't good enough? I meant for something not banned in tournaments though. And to be perfectly blunt, Unlimited Ragna is not even all that fun. I was thinking of something along the lines of a completely new way Ragna could be presented, which is why I went with the Azure Guardian idea. I'd rather there be actual different characters instead of more alternate forms. Jubei, Kokonoe, Nine/Phantom, Saya, Torakaka, Celica, any other characters from the Duodecim families (which leaves a lot of room for "new" and unique characters). You don't like an alternate form of Ragna but would rather have an extra Taokaka ? But in the interest of fairness, I can understand wanting the others you mentioned. I just think that an alternate form of Ragna is inevitable and could be a great idea if ASW really goes out of their way to differentiate the two of them. Instead people want another Ragna....... Well considering our current one only has half his original limbs left and is wasting away, I figure we need a spare at some point. Kinda like a replacement tire if you will.
BlackYakuzu94 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I'm loving Kagura so far. He seems like a harder Jin in terms of playstyle. There needs to just be a game of all Ragnas. Ragna, Unlimited Ragna, Bloodedge, Azure Guardian Ragna, Black Beast Ragna, young Ragna. I'm sure they can come up with more. We can call the game Ragblue. I kinda went over this elsewhere, but how would "Bloodedge" even play?
Luminos564 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I kinda went over this elsewhere, but how would "Bloodedge" even play? Like in that one story section where Hazama nullified Ragna's ability to use the Azure. No Drive or any move that involves him using the Azure. So no Hell's Fang, Gauntlet Hades, Dead Spike, both Distortion Drives and Astral, as well as his j.214D ender follow-up to Inferno Divider ©.
