Kaqn playing Platinum, my dreams fulfilled. I really hope he continues.

Right, right. My 2000 ran CT well enough, but still had some frame deficiency. My 1000 froze up every time I tried to enter the character select with RJL. Motion Joy might be the way to go for 1000 models, but we'll see. Also: Kaqn playing Platinum. My dreams fulfilled.

Madoka doesn't need the Platinum reference, she's good enough on her own. ( ¯◡◡¯ · ) Yeah, I tried RJL with CT and it wasn't rolling so well. Also noticed the 2X > 236X, it's pretty annoying but possible to get around. If RJL doesn't work as planned Motion Joy should work as a controller replacement, and if you have a PSP-2000 (unless they came out with a PSP-3000 model, or the 2000 ones work for both), you can get PSP component cables and roll with that.

So there's some pretty good footage in this here video. (also these) Different video: Here's some more. Again, different video: Good Mystique Momo incorporated combo, also dat hitstun.

So when I replied to Corin or vise-versa, you must have thought I/we was/were insane, right? Schizophrenia isn't something you should assume on to someone. ┐(￣∀￣)┌ Kidding, but pretty funny. So, uh. 21 days away. Countin' em down.

i felt this was worth editing out specifically. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSDg9roC08k

The only date I'm worried about is the one we know for sure, March 31st. Just being able to play/practice as her (albeit with worse controls/graphics) will be enough to tide me over for another, say, month, if we have to wait that long. I don't know what Mori/Daisuke have that's so much more important to do on consoles, but releasing a finished character shouldn't take too long. Now, what would irritate me is if BBCS2 came out on consoles before Platinum. Talk about a kick in the balls, especially since we should have gotten her before CS2 was even released in Japan.

aint no stallin like 'the trinity stallin

I'm (maybe not so) strangely fond of #9, and #12 is incredible. #4 is, of course, fantastic, and #8, #10, and #11 are pretty great as well. Not to mention she's got a ton of great ones on page 1, so she's pretty set as far as colors go. I'm still not sure which I'll use the most!

I'm not quite sure if a homebrew enabled PSP is required for RJL, but I was considering trying it myself depending on the situation. (remember, Homebrew isn't illegal, but pirating software/games are. don't talk about obtaining PSP CS2 illegally or anything of the like.)

Ready to work on the 31st? I've been working since she was announced. ;p Yeah, if it wasn't obvious enough, I'll be getting it for PSP as well. I don't even want to imagine how many hours I'm going to clock into the PSP version on launch. Ｎｏ，　ｗａｉｔ，　ｙｅｓ　Ｉ　ｄｏ．　Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｔｏ　ｉｍａｇｉｎｅ　ｉｔ．　Ｉ　ｗａｎｔ　ｔｏ　ｉｍａｇｉｎｅ　ｉｔ　Ｓｏ　Ｍｕｃｈ．　

Indeed, PSP's are not region free. Be prepared to import CS2 when it rolls around. ( ´∀`) Just read the news, it's unfortunate that we 'seemingly' won't get her for a while on consoles. I don't know what that means for CS2 on consoles, if that will come out sooner and Platinum won't be included, or what. I'll assume they will still come out around the same time, and also that the 'delay' for 'more important things on consoles' has to due with letting the handheld versions get their share. I'll be making good use of mine, at least. March 31st isn't so far away... （　´_ゝ`）

Considering Mori/Ishiwatari already said the BBCS2 system will be either very cheap or free, most people aren't going to worry about the cost of buying the PSP/3DS versions first, since they'll get it cheap/free later (Platinum not included). People like getting stuff earlier than others, and people like portable things. People also like Blazblue. Add all these together and you might just find yourself blowing 40 dollars on a PSP version of the game you were already going to get for cheaper.

Oh, very nice. Indeed then, I couldn't notice it on lesser quality videos.

Please excuse my disbelief, but are you sure? The quality hasn't been too great in any of the videos with her in it, so I can't tell too well, but it didn't seem like that. Not to mention it hasn't been said in any other information etc. If it's true, then I guess that's a random modifier aside from her drive. ┐(￣ー￣)┌

All ArcSys said is she would be releasing in Spring, and the window for that is pretty large. Not to mention they never specified BBCSII, but presuming she can't be released without it, it'll be at the same time. BBCSII for PSP and 3DS will be released on March 31st for Japan, and like Marisa said, it's possible they will delay the console versions a bit longer to allow the handheld versions to sell a bit better. I presumed earlier that we might get a bit more information some time soon, during the EU or Texas events in March, so take that as you will.

Gonna quote your post so it doesn't fall to Last Page Post Syndrome: Edit: whoops, urinichan was a bit faster than me. I found the text quite useful, actually! It's always good to get your input, Kantan. The extra range on the fan definitely seems nice, and I've always been interested in the Lion as well (5 uses? yes please). I'm also pretty interested in the upgraded hammer. Slide head is pretty great, and if you could check the damage boost on the loop, that would be rad. Also, nice hammer story. Those type of situations are always fantastic.

The Pan is another one of my favorites. The comboability is nice, but I really love the near instant overheads you can get out of it. Also floating in the air when spamming it is just hilarious (it'll have some use against FRKZ Bang, surely). ┐(￣ー￣)┌

I'd definitely say to wait for the matchup threads in the matchup section until her release. They wouldn't get any use, and would just sit there until her release regardless. Sparking up a convo isn't a bad idea, though. How about this; what item do you think you'll find yourself using most? Yeah, sure, 'i'm going to use all of them' blah blah POMF. Any good Platinum player will use all of her items to their fullest, but I'm asking which one do you think you'll enjoy most, and end up using most subsequently. Oh, and for bonus points, how about which one you'll use in Miracle Jeanne the most as well. Personally I'm probably going to use the hammer most. Those guard crushes, combos, etc are so delicious. In Miracle Jeanne, I might end up using LARGE MISSILES the most, but I'm not too sure. Really gotta get a feel for the sugoi magic myself. To clarify; when I say "the most", I mean 'holding them longer than others if the situation allowed for it'. So, not like 'I'M GOING TO HOLD THIS HAMMER 100% OF THE TIME EVEN THOUGH MY NEXT ITEM IS A CAT, I HAVE 50% HEAT, AND I'M FIGHTING TAGER'.

Not necessarily DLC, but the PSP/3DS versions are set for March 31st. We're assuming that, because of this, the DLC will be released close to this time. We might get more information from that UK event on March 5th, or that Texas anime con on the 18-20th. I love the command grab so much; I wish I would see it used more often in videos, but when I do see it, it usually connects. 5C > Swallow Moon > Dramatic Sammy is something I want to try asap. ( ´∀`)

Ooh, not being able to mash 236A is interesting. Also, spending 50% heat to crush 4 primers seems like a good enough deal. Situational, of course, but everything with Platinum seems to be. We'll have more time to mess around in training mode when she shows up. A month and a half doesn't seem like too long until I actually start counting down... （　´_ゝ`）

I want a survey on how many people you can wreck via guard crush with Hammer. Just tally it up as you go along. ┐(´∀`)┌

planning on coming down to xanadu today, when do people usually leave on saturday?

No worries, I'm only clarifying. Ragna's Inferno Divider would be a "get-out-of-jail-free" card, since that costs nothing. Since it exists, it's confusing to say something that isn't, is. So. Not too far from March 31st now... although it still feels like too long. Think we'll get it earlier on consoles, or are they going to wait? If they do, better be ready to import the jp 3DS/PSP version. ლ(╹〇╹ლ)

Neither Bat, Counter Assault, or CDT are "get-out-of-jail-free" cards. If you would realize, they all cost something. I really like the 3C/Cat mixups, Kantan. Range is beautiful so counter-happy people should get destroyed by it, and non-counter-happy people will be too scared to react afterwards.
