There are very few differences between Relius Ex and Relius CP, he plays nearly the same but with slightly more tools now. Getting rid of his EX combos was a pain though, sometimes even now I still do the old and inneficient combo lol.

What happens in this one? Does Ragna finally get to pet Makoto's tail?

My local arcade has kokonoe unlocked, she's really fun. I didn't play her much but damn, that's one hell of a 2C she got.

GGs to RealSovietBear and to a Valkenhayn I've fought (I don't remember your name sorry) in the GE1 arcade lobby.

If you're still on, i'll be there in a bit.

Okay here's some more stuff: Ignis efficient and max damage meterless corner combo: 5B>3C>236C>214A>66>5C(1)>j.C>j.236C>214B>j.B>2C>6C>41236B>5B>5C(2)>4D>3C (4502/32/3000) Max damage meterless corner: 5B>3C>236C>214A>66>5C(1)>j.C>j.236C>214B>j.B>2C>6C>214C>2C>41236B>5B>4D>3C (4657/33/4500) Ignis efficent max damage with 25% meter (you're still meter positive though): 5B>3C>236C>214A>66>5C(1)>j.C>j.236C>214B>j.B>2C>6C>CT>5C(2)>2C>4D>3C (4670/4/3000) Max damage with 25% meter: 5B>3C>236C>214A>66>5C(1)>j.C>j.236C>214B>j.B>2C>6C>214C>2C>CT>5C(2)>2C>4D>3C (4852/6/4500) Ignis efficent max damage 50% meter corner: 5B>3C>236C>214A>66>5C(1)>j.C>j.236C>214B>j.B>2C>6C>41236C>5B>5C(2)>4D>3C>632146D (5537/18/4000) Max damage 50% meter corner: 5B>3C>236C>214A>66>5C(1)>j.C>j.236C>214B>j.B>2C>6C>214C>2C>41236B>5B>4D>3C>632146D (5692/20/5500) Ignis efficent max damage 75% meter corner: 5B>3C>236C>214A>66>5C(1)>j.C>j.236C>214B>j.B>2C>6C>CT>5C(2)>2C>4D>3C>632146D (5705/4?/4500) Max damage 75% meter corner: 5B>3C>236C>214A>66>5C(1)>j.C>j.236C>214B>j.B>2C>6C>214C>2C>CT>5C(2)>2C>4D>3C>632146D (5887/6?/5500) I could go on for the 100% combos but I think they're not really practical, they basically end up at 6K (6.3K with OD at the end) damages. Better keep 50%/25% and sacrificing 200/600(and your burst) damages. for 100% meter, after 4D>3C do 2363214C into (Optional OD) 632146D. Timing are weird, I'll record them and upload them.

GGs to Seo, that hour long session made me learn a lot more about Kagura. Who thought giving him such a sneaky overhead that leads into 4k damages was a good idea? haha

Is there some kind of trick to get ranked matches faster? I want to unlock icons, but manual search in ranked leads to nothing and I'm forced to wait in auto search. 7 ranked matches in two days, this is gonna take forever lol.

You found a pattern, to counter it you could have used 22A or 22B rather than 22C and hit her where she was supposed to land after going above ignis and straight to you. Hit her enough times with this and the player won't try anymore since he knows you'll just catch him. Unless he's dumb or desperate lol. Does Ignis protect you from the pumpkin? I didn't try.

Against Rachel, though I haven't fought the best rachels, I prefer to stay on the other side of the screen. From that far, only the pumpkin is a threat. Your long range tools are 214A, 214C, 22B/C. After a 214A you should use j.8/6/2D since they usually attempt to go above Ignis to throw their seed(lobelia?) projectile. After a 214C use 22B/C to lock her in blockstun or to ruin her attempt at hitting Ignis out of it. Mix all of that stuff up and manage your Ignis meter well. Most of the seeds thrown can be intercepted and blocked by Ignis' moves, meaning they won't fall where they're supposed to. Use 214C and j.8/6/2D to do this. Mid range you'll want to poke her with 5B/2B to keep her at a range where most of her moves aren't effective. 5B 6D, 214A if she's a bit too far, 2C/6B(works well since it's faster) as your anti air if she tries to come in with forward jump+wind. Just make sure she doesn't get a pumpkin out. Once you get a hit try to end it in 236C 214A to put her back fullscreen. Close range is the hardest part of the matchup. Either you'll be pressuring her and you'll have to watch out for her electric chair attack. Since it's a move with a guard point you can cancel into 236A to avoid it if you're on the ground. If she's pressuring you, try to IB most of the stuff to get meter and use your counter assault to get the hell outta here. You'll need solid defense and lots of patience, don't try anything risky and watch out for those throws. That's all I can say, I don't have enough mu exp against her.

No need to RC after a throw combo if you've got Ignis out to get more damages midscreen. Throw combos: B+C>(delay)>6D>6C>41236C>66>5B>5C(1)>j.B>j.C>236C>214B (3084/22/2300) 4B+C>(delay even more)>6D>6C>41236C>66>5B>5C(1)>j.B>j.C>236C>214B (3082/22/2300) Backthrow one is harder to execute than forward throw, especially at the 66>5B part. By the way, I'm currently making a video with Relius' basic combos (and different paths in certain combos). I'll post it later here when I'm done with it.

Awesome, thanks TD! Shouldn't the CSE MU threads be in the archives though? Or is it because the game isn't out outside of japan yet so those thread aren't considered archives? Another question, do we post videos about the matchups in the matchup thread or in the video thread? Like say (this is a complete random example) I demonstrate how to beat Tager's sledge with Ignis on a video, in training mode. Where do I post that?

Looking for EU players, the eu arcade lobbies are filled with japanese people with crap connection to me ;_;.

That'd be really good. I got my game today and played tons of game, but I reallly don't know how to approach most matchups anymore with all those changes. Feels like I have to learn them all once again and I could use some help lol.

GGs to whoever I fought in the EU lobby/arcade thing, got a hard time getting rid of EX habits and learning the new CP matchups for Relius :u.

Looking for EU people to play with. Send me an invite.

I think normals that can't be special cancelled can't also be OD cancelled. Makes sense I guess.

Guys we found the ultimate secret character. http://www.pixenli.com/images/1382/1382957363081542200.jpg Kappa Source: http://blazbluearena.forumactif.org/t1709p690-nouveau-blazblue-chronophantasma#48859

To unlock D course you have to beat A B and C course. D course is made of female chars only btw <3.

I think it's already on the psn store. At least when I checked the HK psn store I saw it (in a pack with Platinum's voice).

How are Relius' bad matchups looking like now? I don't have the game (getting it monday dammit fedex :u) so I can't really test by myself. Is litchi still a pain in the ass? What about mu? And when will we have ou MU threads for CP version?

You need to buy HK psn cards (game costs 413HK$, 450HK$= around 60USD i think) and no you can't do it from your jp account you need a new hk account (text is english thankfully). HK BBCP DLCs are compatible with BBCP's jp version too.

For people looking to buy the digital version and haven't gotten it yet, read this: Get it on the Hong Kong PSN. It's about 15€ cheaper than on the JP psn.

So it's up as digital version on JP psn, but damn, 6800 yen, that hurts lol. Is there a possibility of it being in the HK psn and being way cheaper like JJBA ASB happened to be? I'll hang out with JJBA's new DLCs while waiting for CP.

Yeah, but his burst definitely isn't as good as DIO's obviously.
