[CP] News & Gameplay Discussion (Old)

[Master Of Chaos]

People play Haukemen so that they can watch as a giant samurai robot shouts outs "UNIT COOKIE DOUGH" and then starts beating the fuck out of the guy next to them. People play Mu because DAT ASS.

No one actually plays Hakumen or Mu. They are robots.

And I'm not talking about Hakumen and Mu

Reminds me of my conspiracy theory that 90% of Noels on netplay are, in reality, just people's house cats continually stepping on the "D" button while their masters are away.

Thank you so much.

It all makes sense now.

[Airk]

I'm not really confident even the Tsubaki mains will agree she's decent in cs2.....

No, I think the general consensus among Tsubaki mains is that she was solid during CS2; She had a few things which were "dumb" in the sense of "Good" and that's generally what it takes to get out of "meh" tier in this game. She certainly wasn't S tier, but she had a lot of things going for her that she doesn't in Extend.

CP is an improvement from Extend, certainly, but I think it's kindof a wash against CS2. We'll see as more stuff develops though.

So what gameplay niches do the CP characters fill? (Keep-away, mix-ups, grappler, etc.)

[SoWL]

Famitsu got an article on CP's story mode and how it works:

In before "OMG KOKONOE AND JUBEI PLAYABLE!" - they're not.

[BlackYakuzu94]

Tsubaki's cool, she just never really seemed very strong balance wise...its like she's Jin-lite.

EDIT: Oh shit, the Imperator is back....does that mean she's taking a more active role in the plot now

Haha, Relius.

[beanwich]

Relius is my second-favorite male character.

So what gameplay niches do the CP characters fill? (Keep-away, mix-ups, grappler, etc.)

No character plays keep-away unless it's vs Tager or Hakumen or if you're playing as Hakumen and just building meter.

You mix-up as hard as you possibly can with every character, though some are better than it than others (Hazama, Valk, Tao <----all top tier pick one of those chars if you don't want to be miserable)

Grappler is Tager and he sucks, don't pick him.

Joke post over. I guess I'll answer your question as best as I can by just dividing the characters into categories (some will fill more than one category, in fact most will)

Characters with medium-long/long-range footsie/spacing normals:

Ragna, Jin, Hakumen, Azrael, Tager, Mu, Litchi, Valkenhayn, Platinum, Bullet, Makoto, Bang, Taokaka, Hazama (chain LOOOOOL)

Characters with projectile oki:

Mu, Litchi, Makoto, Amane, Arakune, Bang (in some cases), Izayoi, Rachel, v-13, Platinum (with presents/bombs), Relius/Carl (if you count dolls as projectiles which they kind of act as them in this case), Taokaka (bowling ball wwww), Ragna (for midscreen deadspike > dash cancel sometimes)

Characters with unique movement:

Izayoi, Azrael, Hazama, Valkenhayn, Taokaka, Arakune, Rachel, v-13

Characters that optimally want to be in your face:

Bullet, Bang, Platinum, Hazama, Valkenhayn, Taokaka, Azrael, Tsubaki, Ragna, Tager, Noel

Characters that have good high-low:

Azrael, Hazama, Valkenhayn, Taokaka, Litchi, Carl (unblockable in some cases), Rachel

Characters with meterless DP's:

Ragna, Jin, Bullet, Azrael, Tsubaki, Litchi (w/staff), Makoto, Platinum (w/bat), Mu

Characters with silly (invincible) D's

Bullet, Noel, Hakumen

Characters with high, unburstable/hard to burst damage:

Arakune, OD Hakumen, v-13, Bullet

Characters with gimmicks/resets you need to get used to blocking/jumping/calling out:

Jin, Tager

Character with high chip damage:

Amane

I'm missing a lot of categories but I hope this helps answer your question a little bit. Don't know why you asked this though, you should seriously just be picking top tier but then again you (allegedly) play Anakaris...

Relius is my second-favorite male character.

But Terumi always wins?

Could you translate, please?

[SoWL]

Could you translate, please?

Not today, but I can try if no one else does by the time I get home tomorrow.

[beanwich]

But Terumi always wins?

Yes, Terumi always wins, one way or another. Relius is my second-favorite, he'll just have to accept his back-seat status.

[BlackYakuzu94]

Screw that, Hazama had his turn in CS, now its Relius` time to shine.

[kylehyde]

If it's not too much trouble, could you translate the screencap with Rachel and Ragna?

neither of them look too happy

Edited August 21, 2013 by kylehyde

[Chaoschao222]

When do either of those characters look happy?

[00Bubbles00]

Nago looks happy staring at Ragna's lower half.

[AMB Bakery]

The only important thing I got from the whole article (at least what's there for right now, it'll probably be expanded within a week or two) was that Ragna needs to seek "クシナダの楔" in order to beat/combat the imperator.

[Chaoschao222]

So he needs something the Imperator has to beat the Imperator. Welp GGs, wp, Ragna.

[kylehyde]

I guess the Blazblue coupled with the idea engine ain't going to be enough. Not that I thought it was going to be. Terumi's got that shit on lockdown anyway.

Kushinada's Lynchpin amirite

[Myoro]

Kushinada no something= Kushinada's something
