Bääx

Just secured my CP import. Anyone else getting one? And is Lovegety shut down now?!?

BB at the Lovestation? I'll do my best to be there.

Thanks for the detailed response! I'm gonna hit the training room and get those connecting.

Noel's counter assault is something that I've never made use of before, and I'm taking some time today to program it into my fingers so I've got it as an option. What are my best options after a counter assault?

Shoutouts and gg's to the BB lads at A&C World today! I haven't played a whole lot of BB outside my basement. Here's hoping that the more I get out, the more I can level up my game. Do Lovegety games still go down?

I wanted to get into Street Fighter for many years, but never ended up shelling out for a game. I finally got a PS3 a year and a half ago, and had no interest in SF4 because they'd converted to CG animation. I found Blazblue: Calamity Trigger on the shelf at Game Stop and bought it just from looking at the box. It seemed to be everything I'd ever wanted in a fighting game. It was instant love as soon as I turned the game on. This being the first fighting game I've spent any time with, I still royally suck despite all the time I've put into it. It's three steps forward, and then two steps back with every new patch. And my recent purchase of an arcade stick meant another skill setback. Perhaps by time BB3 comes out I'll be a force to be reckoned with, but until then I'm enjoying my time in the training room and in getting my face continually pummeled online.

Thanks Hex! The morning sun of understanding is starting to peek over my horizon.

Thanks! Though now I may be a bit fuzzy on the difference between a stagger and a frame trap... Damn. I just tried to refresh my memory on what a tick throw is and I can't find that either. Is there a way to get the search option to bring up specific posts instead of entire threads?

I've come across several posts saying how staggering is an important technique with Noel, but I haven't been able to figure out exactly what that is. My searching so far has only come across info on the Guilty Gear stagger state, but this seems to be different. Help?

After reading your responses, going through the arcade stick threads, and doing some experimenting, I've decided to switch to Type-B. It seems to make more sense and feel better for barriers, throws, and rapids - and seems to be more versatile if I end up taking on a sub character or two later on. I was also surprised to realize that my forefinger is much quicker than my thumb, and also requires no wrist movement. Fortunately I've only got a handful of hours invested in Type-A so far. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Hey folks! I just got a HRAP V3-SA in the mail today. (My first stick - so pumped! ) I realize these things are pretty subjective, but I was curious if any Noel players had strong convictions about button layout. Currently, I'm using the Type A layout, my reasoning being that my thumb is going to have more of the the dexterity I want for my than my forefinger. Does anyone use Type B ? And if so, do you think it gives you a technical advantage over the other layout?

Makes me want to learn Japanese and make twice as much money so I can just import stuff. :china:

Amazon.ca has the 22nd listed and EB Games has the 23rd. Aksys, why do you hate Canada so much?

Holy poop on a stick. Someone and their Platinum kicked my scrubby ass at Getty. I need a stick and a copy of Extend so I'm not just a punching bag for Astral Finish practice.

Me and my pad are so there!
