Upcoming BBCS Patch with Valkenhayn and Changes!

By Guest, in Home,

The Valkenhayn patch comes out tomorrow (9/20) for PSN (XBL version has been delayed), and a list of translated changes from the Japanese BBCS website have been provided. Here are the list of supposed changes:

System changes & bug fixes

- Trophy/Acheivement update w/ Valk DLC
- Faster matching speed in Ranked Matches
- Fixed a problem where some effects didn't disappear, which made the game have to process more info.
- On Kagatsuchi Port (Rain) stage, fixed a problem where an environmental sound effect didn't play correctly
- Fixed a problem where under certain circumstances if you choose Makoto in Player Matches the character select screen glitched.
- Fixed a problem in training mode where sound effects may not stop under certain conditions.
- Game now autosaves after completing each mission in challenge mode, you no longer have to go back to the main menu to save progress for that.
- Now when clearing score attack, your final score is displayed (this wasn't done before? never played score attack)
- Fixed the problem where in Legion mode DLC character portrait icons appeared, even though they're unusable in Legion mode.
- In network mode it remembers the last character you chose, and defaults to them.
- On network mode results after matches, "Used character PSR" and "Top PSR" information is displayed.
- Fixed a problem where in Ranked Matches / Quick Match the matching system would lock up and not advance.
- When training in ranked / player matches, on the character select screen you can now hit select/back to return to the room.
- Fixed some typos.

Character adjustments & bug fixes

- Fixed a problem where after George gets hit by Carl's Cantabile special, he started acting oddly.
- Fixed a problem where when using Taokaka's DLC colors, the displayed effects became distorted.
- Fixed a problem where icons sometimes did not display correctly near the health guage when Nirvana dies.
- In challenge mode, when using Λ-11's gravity well, the gauge auto-refills (I guess after dropping the combo, so you no longer have to wait for it to recharge)
- Fixed a problem which caused v-13's ghost merging with Λ-11 during her intro vs. Ragna to display incorrectly.
- Fixed a problem where if you pause during Tsubaki install the sound effect loops (or if you reset in training mode lol)
- Fixed a problem where under certain conditions after using Hazama's Jakou the effects didn't disappear properly after the move executes.
- Fixed a problem where Hazama didn't use the correct voice set vs. certain characters in Network Mode.
- Fixed a problem with V-13's voice set in Network Mode.
- Changes made to how Makoto's Space Counter (Parry) functions. (Probably goodbye parry loop imo)
- Changed something about how holding the D button to charge Makoto's Big Bang Smash and Planet Crusher.
- Changes made to Makoto's beginner mode.
- Fixed a problem where during Makoto's Planet Crusher Astral her crest effect didn't display.
- Fixed the problem where after getting hit by Makoto's Planet Crusher Astral you could still move around sometimes.

PS3 Specific fix

- Fixed a problem where after clearing score attack and uploading your score, it wasn't registered.

360 Specific fix

- Fixed a problem where PSR was added during Player Matches.

By Guest, in Home,

Day 1 of SBO has ended, and here are the top 4 for the two ArcSys games:

SBO 2010 BlazBlue Continuum Shift 2v2 Champions:

Tsujikawa (Taokaka) & Chou (Litchi)!



2nd - Satoshi (Bang) & Hiroshi (Jin)

3rd - Goro (Lambda) & Fumo (Arakune) / Dora (Bang) & Hima (Arakune)

Tsujikawa's Tao was VERY impressive throughout the tournament, so congratulations to them for winning it all.


SBO 2010 Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core 3v3 Champions:

Ogawa (Eddie) & Shounen (Testament) & RF (Faust)!



2nd - FAB (Potemkin) & Machaboo (Testament) & Inoue (Order Sol)

3rd - Ina (Millia) & Nage (Faust) & Mitsurugi (Zappa) / LOX (Jam) & Roi (Sol) & Isamu (Venom)

VERY close match in the grand finals between Ogawa's team and Inoue's team, so congrats to Ogawa's team for winning it.

Stay tuned to this thread for more SBO results from Day 1 and Day 2 when they occur!

Blazblue SBO 2010 Preview Part 2

By Guest, in Home,

Moving on to the next section of beasts:
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Tsujikawa (Taokaka)/Chou (Litchi)

Tsujikawa is considered the strongest Tao by most players, as well as one of the best BB players period. Chou and Tsujikawa are both former GG players.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsX2_O5oLw8

Masutani (Bang)/Len (Jin)

Masutani, old man Bang. Len, easily one of the top Jin's. Jin is really strong in single elimantion, so look for a lot of hype resets. From Bang? Expect the unexpected - everything he can do is good.

Himajin (Litchi)/ANG (Bang)

Yes, a Bang/Litchi team. Himajin's Litchi is really stylish - if you're a Litchi player, keep a pen and paper out because he'll pull out some sweet combos and hitconfirms. ANG's Bang is solid and safe (USA netplay Bang players - take notes!)

Buppa (Hazama)Dio (Carl)

If you've watched Carl being on the team automatically puts this team a step forward, and a lot of characters (most importantly, Litchi) have a bit of trouble getting in on Hazama. You'll start to think you really underestimated Hazama after SBO.

Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core SBO 2010 Preview

By Guest, in Home,

While there may only be 16 teams in this year's SBO, there are still a number of notable teams among them, and a lot of them have a shot at winning it all. If you haven't been keeping up with the Japanese Guilty Gear scene or are interested in watching the GGAC portion of SBO, here are the noteworthy teams to look out for:
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Tsubu (ABA) / Samitto (Chipp) / MINT (Testament) -

Tsubu is a solid ABA and MINT is a pretty good Testament, but the shining star of this team is Samitto, arguably the best Chipp in Japan. His Chipp is fun to watch, except for the part where he dies in one combo.

Rozu (Ky) / Kazu (Jam) / Osaka B (Faust) -

Another solid team; Rozu's Ky is no slouch and Kazu's Jam isn't a pushover. Osaka B's Faust, however, stands out the most as his style is really unorthodox compared to other Faust players in which he uses Faust's Pogo Mode a lot to the point where no one can tell if it's a trollling attempt or brilliant strategy.

Ina (Millia) / Nage (Faust) / Mitsurugi (Zappa) -

The best Zappa in Japan, Mitsurugi, is a huge factor in this team's fortunes as many Japanese players consider him on the same level as N-O and Ogawa in terms of player skill, so don't be surprised if you see this team make it as far as the top 4.

Inoue (Order Sol) / Machaboo (Testament) / FAB (Potemkin) -

This team has the best Order Sol player and one of the best (if not THE best) Potemkin players in all of Japan, so expect bright things from this team. The only question is Machaboo; will his switch to Testament throw him off after being considered the best Ky in years past?

Ten (I-no) / Satou (Johnny) / Maruken (Baiken) -

A dark horse team that has arguably the best players of their respective characters, it would be interesting to see if they can overcome the so-called tier list wall and win it all...

Shounen (Testament) / RF (Faust) / Ogawa (Eddie) -

On paper, this is the most broken team in all of SBO history as you have multiple SBO winners in each member. However, the game isn't meant to be played on paper, so anything can happen especially when there are several teams with as much star power as them.

Koichi (Millia) / KA2 (Jam) / Haaken (Potemkin) -

Another strong team that can definitely go far in the tournament as each member is capable of catching fire at the right time. The question is, will they be able to ride the momentum over the other monster teams?

Woshige (Millia) / N-O (Venom) / Dogura (Robo-Ky) -

And here we have another broken team that is capable of winning it all; you have the best Millia player in Woshige, the best player in general in N-O, and the best Robo-Ky in Dogura. Not to mention N-O is currently a two-time SBO champion and he clearly has his eyes set on a threepeat.

So will we see an expected epic finals in Shounen/RF/Ogawa vs. Woshige/N-O/Dogura? Will Koichi/KA2/Haaken throw a wrench into their plans? Will we see a surprise from Ten/Satou/Maruken? Or will we see a one-man bracket buster in Mitsurugi? Find out this weekend when SBO kicks off!

Blazblue SBO 2010 Preview Part 1

By Guest, in Home,

SBO is this weekend! This tournament puts Japan's (and some foreign countries) elite fighting game players against each other, and the level of competition for BlazBlue is no exception. Here's some teams to look out for during the tournament:
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Shounen (Litchi)/Eesuke (Carl)

If you're a Guilty Gear player, just seeing Shounen's name should be enough to raise hype levels. You'll definitely think Litchi is broken after seeing him play, and his partner Eesuke is no slouch either - they won their qualifier in a dominating fashion, even with Galileo (Tager) and Tenchi (Hakumen) in the mix.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsdtobaeUsk

Akuto (Bang)/Hiroshi (Jin)

Bang mashers might know Akuto better as Satoshi, the Bang from Tokyo that destroyed Chiba (Team Gamechariot) in the 14 on 14 eariler this year. His partner Hiroshi "never enters tournies", but his Jin was on point at the qualifier they won. Satoshi won multiple events throughout the year, so he's a clear favorite for top 8.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10769366

Nezu (Bang)/Ranrebo (Carl)

If you've been keeping up with A-cho's Youtube account, you've definitely seen Nezu's bang play. He's won several A-cho BB ranbats (always with fierce competition) and in an ear destroying way (BANG☆BANG☆BANG☆BANG☆). Just by having Carl as a partner, this team is way more dangerous.

Souji (Arakune)/Kyaku (Carl)

Kyaku was last years runner up for CT. Souji, another player that's won many tournaments throughout the year. These two together = a huge threat. Saying that being touched by them leads to death is an understatement.

By Guest, in Home,

Thanks to the people who have compiled info from various sources, we now have a somewhat comprehensive list of changes from the first loketest (out of many) at AOU.

None listed

:Valkenhayn:

[*]Health - 10k
[*]Guard Primers - 4
[*]Moves that take Guard Primer - 6C, 236C, j.214B
[*]Fatal Counter - 6B, 6C
[*]Drive: Wehrwolf. Switches between human and wolf form. The Wolf Gauge drains while in wolf form and refills while in human form. Wolf form cannot be used if the Wolf Gauge is empty.
[*]doesn't dash, hops forward like Hakumen.
[*]good at Wolf mode follow-up combos
[*]cannot crouch or block in Wolf mode
[*]does not automatically turn around in Wolf mode - must hit left or right to change direction. Since he can't block, hitting back just keeps him moving while away from the opponent
[*]cannot throw, so he relies on command throw. May be unable to throw-reject as well. [note: video suggests otherwise]
[*]Moves done during wolf mode are marked with a [w]
[*]5A, 2A - small punches
[*]5B - kick
[*]2B - low kick
[*]6A - does a knee kick while posing his arm. Startup is considerably fast, but there's a pretty big gap. Feels like it should be used for anti-air.
[*]6B - not a mid. has vaccuum effect, hits twice. Forces opponent to crouch on FC.
[*]5C - ridiculously long kick; reaches far
[*]6C - flying kick; hits mid ; feet invincible; takes a guard primer; no disadvantages even on guard; Fatal Counter; on FC, he can transform to cancel it and go into a wolf-mode combo. Strong fundamental element of Valkenhayn's game. This move beats characters who don't have reversals all by itself.
[*]2C - anti-air kick; fast startup; this is a bullshit good move.
[*]3C - knockdown kick
[*]j.A, j.B - par for the course, fairly ordinary.
[*]j.C - foot/leg transforms into its wolf form and kicks directly downward; range is ridiculous; even Slayer would be surprised how good this is.
[*]A[w] - low hit, claw swipe
[*]B[w] - stabs upward; head invincible
[*]j.A[w] - claw swipe
[*]j.B[w] - tail attack; knocks opponent toward ground on air hit
[*]backstep (backdash) - long distance; excellent
[*]counter assault - reach is quite long; excellent
[*]Nacht Jäger - Night Hunter (236A) - Tackle. Long duration on hit [author remarks that it feels like 5 minutes]
[*]Nacht Rosen - Night Roses (236C) - Upper[cut]. Hits mid. Can combo after 5C on crouching opponents.
[*]Schwarz Jagd - Black Hunt (236B) - Low kick. Hits low.
[*]Weiß Jagd - White Hunt (236B) - follow-up to Black Hunt. Strong kick that knocks opponent away. Can follow up with a combo.
[*]Mondlicht - Moonlight (j.214B) - High kick. Kicks opponent straight up. Untechable time is considerably long. Can do Aerial > moonlight > 5C > aerial, etc. This move is bullshit strong.
[*]Rasen Wolf - Rushing Wolf (C[w]) - Wolf rush. Can choose direction using joystick. Wolf gauge decreases quickly while using. Can cancel during charge with other moves, hitting C returns Valk to neutral, hitting D transforms him back to human form. Run away, run away! lololol
[*]Geschwind Wolf - Quick Wolf - (D during a human form attack) - cancels into transformation. Uses a considerable amount of gauge.
[*]König Wolf - King Wolf (236/A/B[w]) - Wolf assault charge. A attacks horizontally, B charges diagonally upward. Cancels into itself - can do three in a row.
[*]Eisen Wolf - Iron Wolf (j.214A/B[w]) - Wolf raid. Rushes diagonally down-forward and lands. Angle differs slightly between A and B versions.
[*]Himmel Wolf - Sky Wolf (236D[w]) - Wolf bite. Scary 1-hit command throw, 2300 damage. Can be followed up.
[*]Sturm Wolf - Storm Wolf (632146D) - Like Chipp's Zanseirouga. Does all hits even on guard. Every hit is an overhead.
[*]König Flug - King Flight (j.236236C) - Slayer's Chokkagata Dandy. Transforms at the end. For combos that work even on downed opponents.
[*]Astral Heat [no name] (214214214D) - launches opponent, transforms, and slashes repeatedly with the moon in the background.
