first I even deleted my old post and I'm still first.

We have yet to see, but they are talking about doing an EU release, which implies a US release. Until they make an official announcement, we're in the dark.

I've connected that super in midair before... though I will admit I don't remember how long the combo was before that...

Stay free Lumin. /troll

I thought it was wallbound (or something, didn't get to read the entire loketest thread)? Confirm/deny?

So this stuff doesn't happen with the sidebars turned off, hopefully. If I get this, might just turn them on to creep out my roommate/friends. No PS3 though, hoping for US release.

...Leaderboards, dude. Pretty sure offline elitists don't count them anyways.

Think the bolded part is the most important factor, one of the comments in the YT video expresses a similar notion. I think the ability to tech those combos is what the main point of the video was. But I see your point in that trying to calculate frames won't be accurate in this situation. But I bet it's due to differences in the hardware (of either the stick, or the way PS3 handles something versus the 360).

Well if you just downloaded it I might actually start netplay again. I wasn't having any fun playing against them pros.

May need to setup a time in advance, PM or w/e

I have an appointment today... TO PRACTICE TAGER MATCHES FOR SATURDAY, BUHAHAHAHA!

Since I don't see anyone reposting this, I'll quote it from the Michigan thread. Just in case and all.

Awesome, will you be hosting tournaments like Jay used to, or just taking requests to stream an event scheduled by someone else?

I think he was talking about building a local scene (converting players of other genres in many cases) to play games with. The sidebars in this case would bar off potential new players, which can be good or bad. (bad for building a community, good for keeping the stupid ones out).

My experience: Got CT for Christmas last year (had a button mash fest at a friend's house prior, had loads of fun). Played for about 3-6 months just for fun: no real combos, using the special shortcuts, etc (started pretty much from scratch in FGs). After I started beating the computer consistently (no XBL, no interested friends) using these techniques, I slowly taught myself how to do these inputs for specials, and integrate them into my gameplay. Played all of the characters a lot, so I know what 99% of the moves look like in BB, though not necessarily what's in combos and stuff. Found DL, dropped Nu cuz she was high tier, and played Litchi with her excellent pokes ('cuz my litchi combos were gatlings or three dragons). At the beginning of CS arcade period, Rachel seemed low tier, so I started practicing combos on training mode. Never got far, found that I'm not one of the few people who can play low tier at a high level when I bought CS. CS challenge mode is probably my first big step in self improvement; for some reason the movelist on the screen kept me at it longer than jumping in training mode. But even after I picked a main and played a TON of matches (and even trying to teach other people the game at college), I'm still one of the freeist players in the Michigan thread (since any local scene is too focused on school to be playing a lot w/ me). Considering where I started, I came a long way; it takes time, though admittedly my CT time was for fun/prepping for CS. I don't know your fighting game background, or at how fast a pace you are capable of learning, but if you want to get really good at this, it's gonna take up a lot of your free time. It's pretty rare to be playing other types of games and find someone who knows Blazblue. There's a reason why. If you still want to spend the time, follow some of the generic advice in here: practice combos, read up on forums, watch videos. I don't recommend starting with Ragna unless you want to main him (and the longer you wait to pick your main, the longer it will take to learn the game). ...my story and advice, 2AM quality.

Hazama's knife got an upgrade. Cool scheme though.

In my opinion, the badge system could be tested, or implemented, by getting others to contribute to some overall BB guide. We have an excellent GG guide that has a lot of things that can be applied to BB, but a dedicated BB guide complete with combos, strategies, matchups, frame data, etc. would be a big task (and a huge accomplishment) for Dustloop. It would help newer players get into the game/scene, as well as making Dustloop appear more professional. As previously stated, it would take a lot of work, especially since the moderators would have to organize and write up all this information (on top of their other tasks). Just an idea that came from that pokemon web magazine... Doesn't exactly help with the people posting inaccurate information, or stupid trolling/flaming though.

Unfortunately, no. Because I was tired, I skimmed the list and tested out things I wasn't sure about. Overall fairly accurate.

Some stuff: Pressing B after 2B does 6B, unable to cancel into 5B/2B. 2C is jump cancellable. unsure: It's hard to tell but I believe 2A is special cancellable. side notes: j.2C is written as [special cancel], [cancel] instead of [jump cancel] 6A might be throw cancellable as well, but the pushback makes it whiff... That's my findings in training mode...

I've heard this idea a couple times before, I think the rebuttal was that the two games too different or something. Personal Opinion: Many of the characters in BB have roots in GG, some of the characters will feel like clones, or there will be major changes in the game systems and the way characters play.

been there; need to actually learn this game first. When you win 3 rounds out of 25 matches (and played another where I won no rounds), it's time to stop playing online for a while.
