i will ignore you every time you show up again so make the first post count

I subscribe to this new trick.

They're talking about her 236a which goes through opponents if she's close enough now. She uses it after 2a at around 3:37. It's not exactly the same as CT act parser, but it's closer than the old 236a was. Her gravity seed doesn't have invuln frames anymore tho (though the lambda in that video uses it like it still does at 8:05, too bad the Tager didn't get anything out of it :p)

Dustloop followed both BBCT and BBCS while they were only out in Japan and only had japanese to go by. Screaming at people for calling it Jayoku when Jayoku exsited months before the english translation is downsy.

time for a public service announcement If you are out there lurking in this thread and we haven't met you, please say hello! Do not be afraid! We don't bite!!! Come to our beatups--we love new blood!!! We are hype as fuck you will have a good time I guarantee it!!!!

oh god!!!!! add me

When I wanted to learn character's blockstrings, I'd get online and just turtle. I didn't bother trying to attack, I just let them go to town and tried to block it all. Where their openings on for retaliating sort of comes naturally.

Imperial Code isn't in the queue? No way...

props to fucking up ronin's tv

how will hazama fight w/ no bnbs????? Foresight is hard.

i'm just gonna leave these here

The AI doesn't know how to play any given character. The tactics a human player of a character will use are grossly different than what you will have to deal with when playing against an AI, which is almost like a high-tech button mashing simulator.

oh hey i guess this finally fucking exists now http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-US/Games/Pages/blazblue.aspx now if only they'd stop being terrible about PC port and get CS on PC i'd be in business............................. asdfsa i just noticed this Unique combatants: Choose from more than 10 unique combatants! Choose a character that represents your own fighting style, like the lightning-fast Taokaka or the wickedly powerful Tager. >calamity trigger tager >powerful

That's what they announced some months ago. As far as I know, they haven't made any announcements stating otherwise and it is getting awfully close to the 9th.

ahhh interesting themes in the dfw thread brb beatup

isn't hakumen's drive also called zanshin please elaborate you are making him sound even more anime than he already is

it was pretty much the art I saw of her that struck me as very different. super tiny limbs, giant gloves/boots is what came to mind. the style felt very different. I feel like they aren't capitalizing enough on how fucking cool the design for non-armor Nu/Lambda/Mu is. Also, the more I thought about it today, the more parallels there are with Mu's design and Noel's design, which was obviously intentional. Read: Weird magic blue cloth glued to her sides, shoulders showing on the non-armor design, etc. Small things, but still things regardless. meanwhile nu/lambda design looks nothing like noel wut The different cultures thing makes the question a lot more interesting, but hard to create a real answer to, knowing absolutely nothing in terms of what it's like being Japanese vs. being American. At least it is clear to me that Arcsys knows who their audience is. The port is simply a result of there being demand by a niche audience in the US, whereas most people here (I guess? Apparently?) don't give two shits about the way it looks or anything about it stylistically. Apparently long combos hurt their brains, too.

the "CALLING THE NAME OF MY ATTACK" can probably come off as extremely annoying. It makes little sense realistically, and people who play this game are either the types who can enjoy it or learn to ignore it. It can really screw a game up if it's not done well, really. Bad VA + goofy calling the names of attacks = whoops. people don't want to feel awkward when they're playing something, and the typical type of meatheads that we're discussing here won't even begin to touch something that strikes them as uncomfortable. Fanservice is fucking shitty. I feel like there is a time and a place for things like that, but unfortunately my definition (and be extension to a much greater degree, western culture's) and Japanese culture's definition of what that time and place is are grossly varying. While I like to think human beings are better than this, you really can't blame them for their culture being different from ours. This has a lot to do with why people are turned off by this game, at least beyond "HURK DURK ITS ANIME!!!!!" Simply put, I don't think I would really want people who dismiss things solely because they look like they're in an anime style in the scene regardless. As far as specific characters, I think pinning Carl in with the "tongue in cheek" remark is kind of blah. I genuinely like Carl and him being a boy didn't really provide a huge obstruction there. The shorts were weird at first, but now I feel like it would be strange the other way around. I also never identified Rachel as "GOTH LOLI-TAN," but apparently that's what other people see in her. I can't really say much there. Nu/Lambda are why I am even interested in this game or playing this genre at all right now. People being loud about "ASS" and "BODY SUIT!!!" piss me off. Taokaka doesn't come anywhere near what qualifies as a generic catgirl--people are fucking retarded. I could say shit about Litchi, but overall, I feel it is relatively tasteful (all things considered.) My reactions to both Platinum and Makoto were somewhere along the lines of "OH, GREAT." Platinum took me a while to accept because the style was so blatantly different from the rest of the BB roster, completely ignoring that she is intentionally moe as fuck. FOR THE MOST PART, Arcsys seems to handle them in a way that doesn't make you continue to reject them (that shot in that CS2 makes me strongly consider my kind words on Platinum, however.) Mu is also borderline inexcusably gratuitous, and it strikes me that this almost went without mention. While I understand that something had to be done to make her different from Nu/Lambda, that is hardly an excuse for making her unabashedly naked. This is a shitty move on their end up there with Makoto, in my opinion, and was a small barrier to me even wanting to play her as a result. They could have done other things to make her unique from Nu/Lambda and still had the bodysuit. Instead, I am stuck dealing with a fucking deluge of "DAT ASS" references every time I look up Mu information, and that's fucking annoying. For those of us who want to actually appreciate the characters and who they are, shit like this is a BIG obstruction to taking the game seriously. I assume it is intended to be taken seriously to some degree, given that they have a story mode that, for the most part, is a fairly commendable work as far as fighting games go. blah blah blah why are we trying to convert people who aren't really worth converting to begin with? If people can't see past all the bullshit, then whatever; they can go post on SRK or something.

My only guess would be that charged stein breaking primers is too much in their whole "Hey she breaks primers" design. I already know right now you can do a stein setup that potentially breaks 4 primers <_< Seems to make charged steins a gimmick, but I'm no pro or anything.

i can come saturday and can bring necessary equipment

the only reason i even started playing this game was because i saw videos of nu back in CT shooting swords everywhere. just "woah i want to be that cool sword shoot" i've been exploring the rest of the roster lately so I can't really say anything about mains with confidence :s

MORE LIKE AMERICAN SCRUBS!!!IO APSODISJA:LK!!!!!

if you think noel is easy, then you simply haven't played her and should stop posting about it.
