While I completely agree with most of you saying you should always play your bad/boring match-ups, I don't think many of you were CT Hakumen players. XD Seriously, Arakune and Nu were 2 of the dumbest match-ups I've played in recent memory. It was a long time ago, but that shit felt like Ivan Ooze levels of lame. lol I forget who had that quote on here for the longest time, it was something like 'Hakumen vs Arakune is like a grown man punching a baby in a stroller'. It was 100% true, and not even remotely fun to play, unless you were just using ranked to practice your instant blocking. Also to comment on that whole rapid and back dash at the end of the round. That was always a sign of respect as far as I can remember, especially in a game where you can mash their dead body. Backing off is like 100% respect. Also, fuck people who run after 1 loss, and fuck people who switch characters after you trash their main. So lame, especially if the matches were close. I just read this as 'oh well my shit is figured out, guess i'll save face by playing like ass with a character I can't even call a sub'. You're bad, and you should feel bad.

I understand, and as I said ping isn't a solution, but i'm convinced it is definitely an improvement over something that isn't explained how it generates the numbers it does in the first place, or how often it even resamples a players connection data. There have been plenty of times I'm playing a laggy ass '3' and then finally after 5+ games his number changes to a 0 or 1. This is where the number/bar system is really suspect, I have no idea what a JP developer has set as a threshold for each bracket, which is why the quality of a 3 can vary so widely. Maybe 4 is really tight with 1~20 but then 3 can include everything between 21~120. We don't know. Even if they did tell us 'yes that is how the number system works' then that is still far more terrible for anyone hoping to stay within the 30~60 range. As far as people being too stupid to handle the new info; that's a fairly moot point as by now most people have some idea or might have even worked out how to port forward their systems, which is 10x harder than understanding some numbers. There is also no reason it can't be simply explained to them as Vsav and Skullgirls has done with one little pop up box to say what the numbers reflect. Actually Skullgirls (for the few months I played it) brings up another positive. While doing a ft10 with someone we had a buttery smooth connection. Half way into the set our matches started lagging hard and when we checked our pings, his shit was all over the place. He said it was just a lag spike cause he has nothing else going on. We gave it a minute rest and his connection stabilized and we were able to resume our set lag free. My point is still the same. Giving the players detailed information will always be an improvement over a limited and vague 3 or 4 point spread. And yes, I agree. Forcing defaults to only allow +/- a bar in lobbies should be the norm at the very least.

So in short you're saying this method of less information is adequate? Well done. I was wondering if there was going to be someone dumb enough to argue ping implementation wouldn't be an improvement. /clap I'm well aware of how connections work, and i'm being realistic by abandoning any hope of developers giving us something more robust than ping read out AT BEST. Also, the current blazblue netplay and how it displays peoples information is about as accurate as a dowsing rod made out of marzipan. If an active ping read out is as good as we can get in a fighting game, then that's all i'm asking for. Because as many people can attest, you can have utterly shit games with 3~4 bars and a buttery smooth game with a 0~1, so... yeah, whatever you think this inane bar/color method is doing right... i'd ask you to reconsider.

Tao MU forum is hella vacant =/ How on earth does Tao fight Valk? I either run the train or i'm having the train run on me, there doesn't seem to be an in between. At this point I'm just trying to scout the 'momentum loss' burst, but that's really suspect. Other questions: - What is wolf meter? Does it have a function besides being a pointless graphic? - How do you block that which cannot be blocked? - Do the developers know wolf 5b is still in the game? -??? -Seriously this character is retarded... Honestly, any neat little nuances that veterans know about this match-up would be appreciated.

Besides loathing netplay in general (and the obnoxious people who ruin it for everyone). My biggest peeve is that it's 2013 and these dumb mother fuckers are still making games with the 'DERRR... RED MEANS BAD AND GREEN MEANS GOOD! YAAAY!' way of describing a persons connection to me. All a green 3 tells me is that it's a green fucking 3. That tells me absolutely jack shit about the persons connection. Is it too much to ask for a ping in this day and age? Do they really think people are too stupid to handle a super complicated piece of information like ping? Sorry to rant, but I'm just so sick and tired of trying to find solid people online when half the 3s are actually 1s. Give me some accurate info so I can weed through the nice steady 30~50's and the assholes fluctuating all over the place because their mom is watching netflix while their sister torrents the newest Boardwalk Empire. /rant I'll also throw my hat on the 'trying to barrier fail' pile. Super annoying. Real talk though... how can I start a petition for BBCP EX++ RELOAD to have a real connection display? >.>

I wasn't hype for this character at all, but just doing her challenges she is addictively fun. ASW did a great job with her. And her j.A makes me laugh every time. Too many great voice clips for this character.

I'm sorry, it's almost 2014. If you enter the interwebs expecting politeness or courtesy, than you are messing up. Why WOULD someone waste their time waiting in an imaginary line when they can have their match RIGHT NAO? Because etiquette? Whose etiquette? The internet doesn't give a crap about your etiquette. I totally agree with you by the way, but it is what it is. Honestly, opening up firefox should come with a mandatory spit in the face and a random racial slur, a little reminder you're entering the cyber toilet would do people good.

Thanks guys, I knew it was something super tiny I was overlooking, it was driving me nuts. I was missing out on the extra red lock damage. lol, thanks again.

Can I get another player to confirm that this actually does 10,000 on console version? I'm only getting 9771 (And yes I'm making sure it's connecting the full overdrive super.) What am I missing here?

Just wondering if anyone knows how many replays the theater will store for you, and is adding them to 'Favorite' the same as saving them?

Speaking of themes, for the love of god please can they get some real fight tracks in this version?! And on a side note, Yukari looks fuggin' awesome, I can't lie I couldn't care less for her in P3, but she's doing it for me with this new look. Too much hype in my blood right now.

QFT. Why is everybody shitting their pants over the same shit ASW has been doing/saying forever? They like to stay friends with the arcades and keep money rolling into the machines for a good 6 months before they start that console talk. My only concern is how long the wait is going to be. I need to put bat to face asap with Junpei. I sincerely hope they kept the sound effects from Teddie's bat for all his moves. =D

Just came in my pants... The only possible thing that could make me any harder right now is if they drop Raidou into the game somehow. ><

Just wondering since you have it, but when it said all the exclusive content included in the ultimate pack did that include the Famitsu colors?

2014 is such a painful wait. She looks so damn fun to mess with, I can't wait to get my hands on her. Jerking it to her videos just isn't doing it for me anymore. =/

Amen. That and BBCP is totally killing my enjoyment. Wanted to learn how to fly around the screen with Chie and get 5k off all my random counter hits, but what's the point now? Ghost lobbies incoming.

GGs to you and all the others who were in the NY lobby till wireless monkeys crashed it =p. Thank god it's the weekend, feel free to add me if you want a scrub Yu/Mitsuru/Teddie/Chie/Aegis/ in your lobby.
