GGs everyone I played tonight this morning

I can definitely bring a setup but somebody else will have to supply a monitor. Also GGs to Brian and Jimmy earlier today. Time to sit down and actually learn combos.

So does Noel ever do anything with her Mu powers? Was really hoping she would go Super Saiyan and face off with Izayoi but it sounds like she just turns back into regular Noel by the end of the story.

I guess I'll go since I wanted to go to FNM anyway (though I don't know what my chances are of participating with Blaz in front of me)

GGs raptor, Solaris, and MikeaL

The increased pushback on hit for normals is really noticeable. I kept finding myself dropping a combo into 3C from a range where it would normally work in BBCS. Of course, combo'ing into SoD and then stein cancelling for quick setups just seems strictly better now anyway. Midscreen blahblah SoD > 5D > dash 2D 214D still works for the "go-to" setup but you don't get as much of an advantage off of it. The increased recovery on Totsuka is also very apparent - get used to TK'ing it if you want to use it on the ground. Her zoning is definitely less autopilot this time around for sure.

Pretty sure Terumi is DLC only. He'll just be free to download for purchasers of the digital release until the 7th.

Finally finished downloading the digital version. Oh god how do I do new combos. Ikutachi is definitely stein-cancellable on hit only. The airdash cancel backwards takes a bit of timing too - you can't just mash it. The new stein placements definitely take some getting used to. Some important things to keep in mind is that the new 2D sets a faraway stein like the old 6D, the new 4D sets a stein above you like the old 2D, and the new 6D sets the stein much farther away than BBCS. The air stein placements are pretty much the same, except j4D sets the stein much higher in the air. It seems like they didn't want us to so easily set a midrange stein. English Mu uses a lot of the unused voice clips from BBCS. Also Ikutachi's official English name is "Sword of Infinity".

At least they have the basic combo parts to get started.

I mean tomorrow. The game officially comes out Thursday, but Japan is like 15 hours ahead of us. In a Magical Christmas Land scenario it comes out around 7PM on Wednesday.

Yeah the digital release should come out on the JP PSN store around Wednesday night or Thursday morning. It's about $120 to get a 10,000 Yen PSN card off Play-Asia and they e-mail you the code pretty much right away. Which is about how much importing the LE would cost but you get some extra leftover for DLC. I emailed Nippon-Yasan to cancel my preorder since they won't ship until the release date anyway; I don't want the Rachel figure THAT much.

I would be down for games on Friday if Ruben is okay with it. I'm thinking about cancelling my preorder and getting the digital version instead. That way I can gameshare the digital version with Ruben so we can have two setups.

I didn't know Hiago liked to taunt That much lol. I guess he was just fucking around.

GGs to givinguponlife, although your taunting and trolling was getting annoying. If you're going to try and troll me with the worst character in the game, you could at least do proper combos

Wait the anime is only 12 episodes long? Wow, RIP.

I really think BBCP is just fine balance-wise. Of course, I haven't been airthrown by Hakumen into UNIT COOKIE DOUGH for 9k yet, so my opinion could change.

Incoming BB TCG, oh lawdy: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?17560-BlazBlue-TCG-Unlimited-VS&p=1553285#post1553285

Only seven more days... I would love for P4A Ultimax Suplex Rainbow Edition to be at EVO, but will it even be out on a console by then? BB needs a chance to finally shine, and CP would be the game to do it with. Everyone is gonna be all over Xrd for EVO 2015 anyway.

Are you back to hosting this Friday Ruben? Or are you still on vacation? I'd be down to go to SCR; but it really depends on what my schedule/financial situation is like by then.

Great sets. I wish people were that respectful of my pressure lol.

GGs everyone I played tonight.

It turns out when the internet bill was overdue, Cox unplugged the coaxial cable up on the telephone pole, which is why they weren't receiving my modem's signal. Of course this happened months ago when I wasn't home, and nobody made me aware of it until now. The cable guy just had to come in and plug the cable back in... EDIT: Dat ice sword animation...

I finally got my internet back. I guess I should see what all the fuss is about the Blaz animu.

I would buy your Thoughtseize Ryan if I didn't already pre-order mine. Your best bet to make a profit on it is probably selling it on ebay.

4 Fate counters on traps along with three of the same trap at a time sounds super broken, they REALLY want us to go for the fate kill lol. I wonder what the C trap untechable time is like. Is it so short that we can't even connect a 5C on non-CH? There must be some way to confirm back into oki, otherwise trap oki will still be worthless. The new bullet pattern stuff with EX roll sounds interesting. Wonder what kind of stylish combo video material we can get with it and the new 6D bullet. 5D not autocorrecting is saddening. Also more recovery on air EX trap is sad; sounds like no more EX trap fastfall shenanigans. The Mudoon being air-unblockable is pretty lulz, and it is nice that they gave it back the bonus proration so it can still be used in combos. Overall, things are looking a lot better than the first loketest, but this sounds like the "for shits and giggles" loketest so far.

The first of some new stuff from the second loketest, shoutouts to Omex: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P3-fyaHUzfgguGgELgt-Cw0QapJ2ZhvZZV8o2kL0BUg/edit# New input in gun stance: 6D New input during DP: 4A/B/C/D. Name is ‘Safety’. What it does is unknown. DP seems to be a counter once again. Also new trailer, you can see Naoto's Venom Zapper around 0:44 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgtskV0Y4dY&t=0m44s
