random j.2a to void a bug is what i would have done. The thing at 3:22 is maybe a mistake in blocking. It is not a overhead so maybe he started to attempt an hop hotaru.

What would you guys do to get out of the corner lock-down with Arakune?

My execution is getting way better and improving way faster than when I was playing on a pad. also looking at you signature, it is better to drive a "stick" than a automatic, So in car forums i can see"getting a stick: is a good thing.

I am ok with high level of violence if is cartoony or comical. I will also accept it on an artistic value if it is meant to show the brutality of convey a emotion or something. But the last half of the video was unappealing. Mortal Kombat is tolerable because it is not really serious with it's fatalities. But none the less I do not care for the game. That tech demo in the second half the video if real has no redeeming qualities. Beating a face in to beat in a face is just for shock value and it looked a little too photo realistic does not look cool at all. I do not believe in censorship but I would not consider that game for purchase if it is that crazy. The funny thing I played games like thrill kill on playstation back in they day and i did not think much of it because it did not look real.

Make sure you finish both quarter circles in the 236 236 input because if you rush the input it you are might be doing 23 23 or 236 23. Also let the stick go back to neutral or 5 before you do the second quarter circle. so it should be like doing 236 5 236. The position you hold the arcade stick does not change much you just have to get use to all the command with that position.

good combo vid

hori real arcade pro sticks are good but go for about double that cheapo stick goes for. look on amazon for people reviews of the sticks so you can judge if the price difference is cool for you.

Hakumen never had much need for rapid cancels. There is almost no reason to use meter that way.

BBCS2 - Hakumen Gameplay Changes Overview by MrMiddleKick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGOMF9SGI_g&feature=feedu I personal like this guys commentary because he tries to educate even when he shows matches.

Have you watched youtube vids of the characters you want to play? It helps to see how other people do it. Also learn how to "punish". Also zoning characters you have to more focused on runaway and making the other player do something from zoning them. The basic idea of zoning in fighting games is that you make the other play do riskier thing as in jump in attacks. The basic strategy that has its origins from street fighter is that you throw fireballs all day and the other player jumps in you uppercut him or use a dragon punch. This is going to be a bit different in Blazblue but you can use the same idea. Rachel is one of the harder characters to learn. Personal ranking of time to learn character from hardest to easiest. top 3 hardest Rachel - wind, combos and setups Carl - The sister litchi - Staff setups But if you can learn them you can profit. Bottom 3 hardest or easiest 3 Jin - throw ice and rush down Ragna - the only thing you do is rush down Lamda - Zone all day and throw in some mix up. Some of the other characters has some thing that might make it harder to play them at first. Hakumen - Meter management Arakume - Curse meter Tager - High level tourney play The other characters have there issues and perks so take them as you want.

to play ggpo you have to get a link to download the new version on the irc chat. edit i keep doing stupid typos today look in the ggpo forums it has the info there how to get into the irc chat to get the link to download the new ggpo version.

Some reason my down D is acting like cs1. When i first downloaded system 1.3 patch it acted like cs2 but then i turned of my xbox and went back on a little later It bounced high instead like they way it is supposed to be. in challenge 4 it show it in demonstration with the right physics, but when i do it does not act like that. Also in training mode it does it also. Has anyone had this problem or noticed it yet?

It looks cool but will play well?

Hakumen's astral can be the best choice of move to do in some cases.

I tried playing super street fighter 4 the over day and i could not play guile. his charge moves like sonic boom would not come out. But playing king of fighters 2002 unlimited match i could do those commands much easier. The only charge moves i can think of in blazblue are hakumen's and jin's astals and i can do those with no problem. Also each game engine has its own forgiveness in command timing.

There are cheap sticks for about 50 bucks but they might suck ballz. I got my hori stick when it was on sale on amazon and it cost about 80 bucks when it usually goes for 120. Just some food for thought my execution improvement on the stick also helped me on a pad but the default xbox 360 pad is hard to be accurate in the first place. It also save my hands from feeling pain from playing for a extended period of time.

Is there a mod chip for xbox 360 to play import games or you have to have an Asian or japanese xbox?

level 2 xfactor should be level 3 in time and damage.

look into the toodles pcbs that are on lizardlick and other websites it is somewhat easier to dual mod with them and you can get ones that work on multiple systems. wiring is easier also because most of them have screw in terminals.

It is more important what you feel about the stick verse whatever other people tell you about the stick. That said sanwa, semitsu, or even happ are the most common parts on arcade cabinets. They are meant to be durable for extended play but which companies parts you like is up to you because they all feel different. Case is personal also because you might want a lighter stick or something thought I would think if it is too light it would be annoying. Pcb and dual modding ehh... Custom case then it up to you. Hori pcbs for the most part are not common ground. Madcatz I think are all common ground. Reliability of pcb that what amazon.com reviews are for.

Pc or console release or it only arcade for now?

Personally i like astro city better but i do not have any issue adjusting to the vewlix. There is more art for sticks that use vewlix floating on the web. I need to get a camera so i can take picture of my sticks , the harp ex is nothing special i have not changed the art and it is a astro city layout. The other stick is a TEK case with a chimp and a madcats xbox 360 controller using a vewlix layout. I meant to order astro layout but i must have made a mistake when doing the order. ( http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/index.cfm?loc=about⊂=tekcase ) Both are way better than something like the american capcom layout.

vewlix is a different layout than that one. I think it is a sega astro city or something. not to be nitpicking. http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/layout.html
