Soriphen Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 As much as I praise P4A for its mechanics, BB will always have a special place in my heart <3. Felt shafted when BBCSEX came out without little changes and at full price, which stopped me from playing BB. Used to fiend BB like nuts as well. Welp, I'm definitely going to get BB3 out of obligation! Hopefully, they've made good changes to the system.
LuminAbyss Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Also, I noticed Ragna's new scythe move doesn't cause KD on standing opponent, so maybe TK Scythe -> RC tricks. It has an air version, but it doesn't look like you can combo into it normally, the video showed j.D > Scythe and it blue beated. And j.D is supposed to have a good amount of untech time.
MetalMaelstrom Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 My turn! Why is nobody besides Kriegdrache hyped for Azrael? I know he looks like a splice of Kanji and Kouma character-art-wise, but he fills the trope of big, muscly, scary villain(?) out quite well. Plus teleports, so yeah, that's nice. Mori really wanted to emphasize breasts this time around it seems. Look at Bullet's, Litchi's, and Makoto's splash art. Hell, even Noel has more of a chest than before. I would like to think that Ragna's new scythe move is kind of like sidewinder only because he yells "JAMA DA!" (even though it doesn't wallbounce or even look like sidewinder, but whatever, shut up) Tager splash art looks even more retarded this time around, but he has a body slam so it's forgiven. I want to see the new characters' astrals along with anybody else who may have had theirs changed. aesthetically, i think this game looks even more generic animu sadly You say this like it's a bad thing. Also, whoever seriously thought Amane was a girl at first needs to watch more anime or something. I also don't think he's a trap, he's just fabulous. It's like a CLAMP character has invaded BlazBlue. But yeah, this news came at a perfect time, right as P4A is about to be released in America and as SBO is going on. T_T Also, Bullet x Bang doujins fucking when?
suna19 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 No matter what happens, I'm personally happy that the story will continue. I love BB's story I think it's pretty much confirmed that there's gonna be something for every character that uses 25 heat. If you look, the meter flashes when one of the segments is filled, and becomes a solid bar when completely filled. I also noticed Azreal pretty much did a tatami gaeshi, WITH THE EARTH
SolarMisae Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I also don't think he's a trap, he's just fabulous. This. <3<3
Urichinan Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 At 2:33, when Platinum does Dramatic Sammy, take a look in the background at the left. It looks like Ragna in arcade mode, but I can't seem to make out a full Jacket, but I do see a little bit on his shoulder. This makes it look a lot like Bloodedge, but the text is blurred so I can't read it. I'm sure it's Ragna, but you never know.
Reisi Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I want to see the new characters' astrals along with anybody else who may have had theirs changed. Well, you saw Amane's already. :3
Fistmaster049 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 My turn! Why is nobody besides Kriegdrache hyped for Azrael? I'm hyped for him
Skye Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Tager's splash art looks like he saw one of his niggas and is about to give him some "skin".
kazukifafner Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I can't even imagine all the possibilities that would come from Bang meeting Amane for the first time.
Airk Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 How does that kill a community? Communities die only cause games are bad, not cause they're not sound monetary investments. If you buy a $200 stick for fighters, you probably can afford a slightly overpriced game here and there too, especially if it's good....and extend was by far the best BB. Because it pisses people off. It's not a question of whether they can AFFORD it - it's a question of sucking the hype out. Anyway, I'm seriously excited for this. Not passing judgement on any new characters right now, but they're doing a good job of hyping me up for the rest of the cast. Really would like Lambda/Nu and Mu to come back though - I think they're interesting characters and it would be a super shame to lose that from the gameplay. (Though uh, Mu could stand some balancing on the damages. :P)

zeth07 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I can't even imagine all the possibilities that would come from Bang meeting Amane for the first time. When Ganju Shiba vs. Yumichika Ayasegawa. There you go, lol. As for the Murakumos, I seriously doubt they would drop the characters. It is probably story related which is why they didn't bother showing anything in this first preview trailer.
Sechs Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Going jump on the Azrael hype train if there are tickets still available. Shoot outs to Hakumen's 6B for making it to the trailer; stomping people since CT.
Fistmaster049 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Yeah thats probably Ragna (20% of hype lost) oh well also Because it pisses people off. It's not a question of whether they can AFFORD it - it's a question of sucking the hype out. Anyway, I'm seriously excited for this. Not passing judgement on any new characters right now, but they're doing a good job of hyping me up for the rest of the cast. Really would like Lambda/Nu and Mu to come back though - I think they're interesting characters and it would be a super shame to lose that from the gameplay. (Though uh, Mu could stand some balancing on the damages. :P) Meh, I don't think the loss of the Murokumos would sadden too many people it would turn BB into much more of a rushdown game which I'm certainally not against, actually sounds like a blast granted some people would lose their mains but Arc would have to try REALLY hard to bring them back in (storywise) in a way that isn't totally stupid lol
SolarMisae Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I did call it on the first page :P That you did. This guy's got a Geisha thing going on and I'm liking it.
bakahyl Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I am not sure if the burst will regenerate but instead it seems to me that you can use your burst as some kind of short overdrive mode. possible hints to it. -Bang is able to use his new nail distortion with it (it used 50% heat , so it's unlikely an astral) and hakumen can use yukikaze in that mode. -the background is red instead of blue - in the part when hakumen uses yukikaze, you see that meter draining
kazukifafner Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I doubt the Murakumo playstyles will be gone, even if the characters using those playstyles will probably change. Who knows, maybe they'll do more time travel/loop shenanigans and bring Alpha-1 into the game or something, lol
-Seo Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 You know, they don't exactly have to keep them in just because of the story. They could keep them in because it's common sense to do so.
BladeOfJustice7 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Where is this Blazblue EX priced at $59.99 coming from? The game was $39.99 and its previous version was free. A fully priced game is $59.99 not $39.99, and SF4 did the same thing.
Pete278 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Really, if Ash Crimson gets called a trap, there's no way Amane isn't.
YoYoCheese Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Meh, I don't think the loss of the Murokumos would sadden too many people it would turn BB into much more of a rushdown game which I'm certainally not against, actually sounds like a blast granted some people would lose their mains but Arc would have to try REALLY hard to bring them back in (storywise) in a way that isn't totally stupid lol Nu got brought back to life at the end of CS. For Mu, they could just give Noel the ability to turn into her Murakumo form at will (without the whole mind control thing). In story, she doesn't use it all the time either because she dislikes the form or because it has a new (story-only) drawback or something.
SolarMisae Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 To me Ash is obviously male... Amane is the same way to me as well. I watch too much anime.
