CynicalTruth

I had nothing better to do for the last few days, so I decided to calculate CS2 Hazama's proration, unit damage for all his moves, etc. Here's what I came up with. It works for most of the combos; sometimes off by 1 or 2. I experimented with the 10576 combo; I had to subtract 1 in some places (marked with *), but it accurately predicts the combo damage other than that. Cyan = no change; confirmed Light green = buffed; confirmed Magenta = nerfed; confirmed Yellow = No data available White = I just copied the CS1 Haz data because it looks probable to me, and/or I am not really sure. P1 = starting proration, P2 = proration multiplier, SP = special proration BP = bonus proration, RP = repeat proration JH = you should know this. MZC = Mizuchi-Rekkazan. ZN = Zaneiga, RS = Ressenga, (n) = normal ver., (s) = super ver. BT, FT = back throw/forward throw, AT = air throw On BT and FT = I thought P1 was 100% at first, just like CS1. But JH does less damage if followed from BT and FT. P1*P2 is 49.5% it looks just right. I could've put 99% and 50%, but seriously 99%? So I put 90% and 55% instead. That seems to make more sense. ADDED: The charged version of 214D-B remains unchanged: unit damage 900, starting proration 75%, proration multiplier 90%.

@ Shugotenshi: You are not alone. Graphics and music for me. I loved Guilty Gear's anime-like graphics and awesome music. That said, it's not surprising that I got attracted to BlazBlue. Also, the characters with twisted personality. I am far from a fighting-game person, but those were sufficient reasons for me.

A character's personality matters a lot to me. His/her fighting style is secondary to me. The first and foremost criterion for me is: do I like his/her personality and/or can I relate to him/her? I have to love the character, and that's where you start. That's when you start to practise combos at a more serious level (though I can't say I practise seriously and/or frequently. I confess nowadays I am not really playing CT as seriously as I appear to sound). Even though you might be fit for one character's fighting style, if you don't like/love that character I think you are less than inclined to practise that character. That's my philosophy. Personality-wise, I should say my favourite (amongst playable characters) in CT is Rachel, probably followed by Jin. Rachel might look arrogant and high-nosed at first, but I think she actually cares (one of the alternate story paths in CT, where she shows the "dere" part of her tsundere) about Ragna, and perhaps the world. Oh yes, I love black tea too. In CS (if a PC version gets released, I hope!), I am considering Hazama and Rachel. Rachel for the same reason, and Hazama is just like Joker. Cynical, mad, twisted, intelligent. A guy who actually knows what he's doing. Put outstanding voice acting by Yuichi Nakamura on top of that, and he's just perfect. Design-wise I find the three aforementioned characters quite satisfying. Other characters within my interests include Nu/Lambda and Hakumen, but I don't think I will get to them until I solidify my mains, which will probably take a while. Based on what I have read I am starting off with an advanced character, but hey, I like Rachel. I am going for it.
