Hey guys, Ive been playing blazblue casually since release of CT but never really got into it in terms of a hardcore/competitive nature and i hope to change that. My main problem is that i cannot pull off many of these long combo stings that i see on the character guides posed here let alone trying to pull them off when playing online. Online is the other issue because as far as i know, I dont see too many non-skilled players ( half the time people just go ham on me once they realize i am an inferior player).

At the moment I am trying to learn Azreal as my new main ( old main was Tager ). Also playing on pad atm ( dualshock controller ) due to not having enough money for a ps3 stick even though I am semi-used to stick from playing alot on my 360

( i have the Hori Wireless Tekken 6 stick :S ).

Anyways, just felt like saying hi and mentioning my current situation with CP. Any advice is appreciated.

Btw, my IGN is ChaosLord 77

Cheers and greetings from Canada!

Well welcome, Blazblue is generally friendly towards pad users cause its a 4 button game, you don't have to use a stick unless that is what you want to do. There's no real magic to doing combos, you have to sit down and practice them and online will probably change your timings a little to a lot so keep that in mind as well. You probably will want to try your hand at a character's BnB and just start working from there, most characters threads have a combo thread and the first post usually will have lists of various combos. If you have trouble with specifics, most people here gladly will lend some tips or advise regarding said combo.
