I guess CS1 is balanced. I mean, just because the company decided to release a balance patch to an already balanced game rather then making a new one makes complete sense. Wait, what?

You don't guarantee loser's bracket based on who you pick, but you significantly hinder your chances of winning if you're playing someone like say, Tager or Rachel. Meanwhile, if I pick Litchi, i'm increasing my chances of winning. And no one in America OR Japan has been leagues ahead of anyone to win major tournaments with low tier in BB. Or even place. Know what games has people placing / winning tournies with low tier? Guilty Gear. Yeah, that's right. Hold that shit BB fans. Anyway, sorry LK for ruining your thread!

Yes, an experienced and skilled player could do amazing things with low tier characters. How many of those play BB in the US? Probably count them on one hand. You're also not taking into account ( and I mean no disrespect towards Jan because I think he's a great FG player and deserved to win ) that Tager is a character that, if the opponent guesses wrong / Tager guesses right, you could win the round in 2-3 Tager busters / heat fist combos. So Jan either was so much more skilled than the others, guessed right, the opponents guessed wrong or he caused the opponents to guess wrong. So you either have to be godlike or rely on random guesses. What a great character. Yes it always down come down to who is the more skilled player ( for the most part ). Except tier lists are there to show you what characters win based on evenly-skilled players. Me and Jan played online and I beat him 10-1, Hazama v. Tager. Am I talking shit? no. Am I saying i'm a better play than him? God no. Jan is better than me and I destroyed him cause his character sucks and mine doesn't. No amount of learning the matchup, using his tools or stepping it up will stop that. So yeah, unless you're leagues ahead of your competition in skill, top tier will shit on everyone else in BB. EDIT: For CS1 anyway. Maybe CS2 is better, who knows

The game is mashy, some chars are broken no matter what based on their D button ( arakune ), matches are way too long, etc. If it's popular to bash it it's either 1) from people that just see anime graphics and relate it to "fag anime" or 2) people that have played the game and realize it is inferior. It's fun in your opinion. I don't have fun with BB. People I know who play it don't have fun. I play it because it's a time sink. PS: Discussion of X on a forum + your opinion does not = "therefore, this is good. Deal with it." PPS: Incase people can't get it, this is also my opinion

Sounds about right. Anyone who says the majority of people who place or win in tournies in America doesn't play top tier / upper-mid tier chars for Blazblue is completely wrong. EDIT: Fixed something else

Since CS2 isn't officially out for the PS3/360 and since there's always a risk of shit getting changed or the PSP version not being arcade perfect, posting this here, real Hazama CS2 combos: Ragna, Jin, Rachel, Arakune, Bang, Hakumen, Hazama, Lambda, Litchi, Taokaka, Noel, Mu, Makoto, Valk 1) 214D~C(1 and 2): 6C (66 optional) 5C(2) 2C(delay) 6DA 4DA jump back j7DA 623D jump forward j6DD 66 6C 66 2C jCx5 5C 623D OR jC x5 j214B 2) 214D~A(2, opponent must be crouching): Hotenjin 66 6C 66 5C(2) 2C(delay) 6DA 4DA jump back j7DA 623D jump forward j6DD 66 6C 66 2C jCx5 5C 623D OR jC x5 j214B 3) 6A / 6B into Hotenjin: 66 214D~C(2) 6C 66 5C(2) 2C(delay) 6DA 4DA jump back j7DA 623D jump forward j6DD 66 6C 66 2C jCx5 5C 623D OR jC x5 j214B 4) 2 or less NORMALS into Hotenjin: 66 214D~C(2) 6C 66 5C(2) 2C(delay) 6DA 4DA jump back j7DA 623D jump forward j6DD 66 6C 66 2C jCx5 5C 623D OR jC x5 j214B 5) 3 to 4 NORMALS if 5B/5C/2C starter into Hotenjin: 66 (additional 66 optional) 6C 66 5C(2) 2C(delay) 6DA 4DA jump back j7DA 623D jump forward j6DD 66 6C 66 2C jCx5 5C 623D OR jC x5 j214B 6) 3 or less NORMALS if 5A/2A/2B starter into Hotenjin: 66 (additional 66 optional) 6C 66 5C(2) 2C(delay) 6DA 4DA jump back j7DA 623D jump forward j6DD 66 6C 66 2C jCx5 5C 623D OR jC x5 j214B EXCEPTIONS Rachel: 1-6) JUMP BACK j6D Arakune, Bang: 2, 4) Jump Neutral j7D Bang: 6) Now works, delay 4DA and JUMP NEUTRAL j7D as much as possible Hakumen: 4) Very short dash, Jump Neutral j7D 6) Possible but very hard to do, not recommended but still looking for another combo Litchi: 6) Must walk forward after Hotenjin, dash 6C very close to them, delay 4D Mu: 2, 6) 2C 5C(1) instead of 5C(2) 2C after 6C; still hard / impractical Valk: 2, 4) 5C 2C works, need to use jump neutral j7D 5) Walk forward, dash 6C. Very short dash 5C 2C, jump neutral j7D. 6) 2C 5C(1), jump neutral j7D NOTES: Platinum has a gay hitbox and relaunchs are really random with her. Carl can get to the point of j6D relaunch but 6C will never connect so you could do something like 5B jCx5 land 5C and then either 623D or SJ jCx5 j214B. Tager I could only get relaunch combo on 214DC. All other methods the jump chain does not proc the extra hitstun.

I'd just like to point out that that tutorial has bitch combos. For bitches.

I heard I would get banned for a week if I came trolling here Is it trolling that Dacidbro can't block, can't tech 30 frame throws, lacks fundamentals and looks like a child molester? Is it trolling that anytime anyone travels from out of state to a WC tourney, they body WC's best and win? Is it trolling that you look like a 12 year old Spirit Jake? Huh? I mean, I guess you can call the truth trolling Whatever helps you guys sleep at night

Texas drama is weak.

I beat: DacidBro, ZONG I lose to: Lord Knight Seems like the only tournies I can't win is when EC shows up NOW Japan shows up to a WC tourney: WC can't win it Japan shows up to a tourney where other regions are represented: Japan can't win it HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM..... EDIT: Wow. So I guess when WC can't do anything anymore, they just try to drag everyone down with them.

So what I see is that WC can't win shit And still lose to japanese players who don't play the game in WC tournies Thanks for backing up my point Dacid

I heard we slaughtering ponies. I'm only coming if I can drink pony blood.

Fill in blanks

1) Assuming you had 100% meter and started a combo with any move except 2A/5A/2B into Hotenjin, relaunch 3C 2nd Hotenjin will net you 50% meter back meaning you'll spend 100% and still have 50% left over and you should also do about 7K damage 2) 623D RC -> X combos are only useful off hit confirms or random 623Ds ( 2C CH 623D, 6DA 623D, etc ) and only if you can't relaunch them with 3C Hotenjin. Which means you need to figure out when you can or cannot

In reply to SRK article about GG coming back in 139074 years: Next level wrong maneuvers. Making posts about things we don't know about? We put a little stupid in there. KIDDING. We used a lot of stupid in there. A LOT. Cause we don't fuck around when making wrong posts.

Post something interesting? Ok bro. WC tourney: Non-WC tourney: Shit seems real interesting to me

Translated to WC talk / skill level:

I didn't fuck that PSP. I made sweet love to it.

I'm going to have to agree with Dacid on this one. I mean, before grand finals, all Tokido had to do was beat shitty bang players that can't block overheads or meaty nails. Now that people outside of WC are attending, the chances of Tokido placing again are slim. Ril Talk. Nigga.

Oh my god, you've cut me to the bone You've called me out on all those times i've boasted far and wide about how good I am at this game, at how i'm the best BB player around and how I don't back it up by placing in tournies as high as I said I would Except I don't boast, I don't brag and i've placed at every major i've went to without being recognized as a tool who only places because of their character YET somehow still thinks they're good Stay irrelevant when CS2 hits America kid

Taking bets on what front Dacid will put forth on the forums after he loses another tournament in Cali to someone not from Cali $5 on his mom contracted a sudden illness, halting his tourney prep

Dacidbro you are actually a fucking joke. This isn't me trolling. You're just a joke. Being good at BB means absolutely nothing. BB is the biggest scrub competitive game i've ever seen (in America anyway). You know what the difference between us is? I don't suck myself off on the forums because i'm able to win at a game playing a top tier character. Maybe if you realized how the only reason you're relevant in the BB scene is cause you play Bang you probably wouldn't be making posts telling everyone else on DL how to play their character and giving your "friendly advice". Stop being a fucking fag, Your friend, Zidane PS: WC still sucks balls.

You fucking stupid. CS2 is still jokes.

Oh, another one of THESE threads? It's been a while. I think it's time to assemble the team... for one more job...
