Screw that. Who wants to go FT10 with me? I'm hyped up after all the hype this weekend brought with a new Guilty Gear, info on BlazBlue and just in general. If none of the nominated players will do anything, I'll go for it. And considering that the PSN version of the BB FT10 thread isn't going off of just nominations and just people that are interested, works for me.

^^^ That is the civil way of getting someone to try your game. On one end of the spectrum, "Try Guilty Gear for an arguably more challenging experience, down to the wire fights and explosive attacks." "Try BlazBlue if you love the satisfaction of combo'ing your opponent to hell and back, mayhaps ending the match in style if you can do an Astral."

At this point, and this may sound bad of me, I'll take it for the sake of awesome screenshots. >_>

What's the timer anyway? I can't find the link for it. NVM Found it.

Rachel's appearance reminded me of how Studio DEEN does their stuff. ...which would be rather coincidental, what with Studio DEEN animating Fate/Stay Night and the Unlimited Blade Works movie. ... Those that don't know, Rachel's seiyuu is Ueda Kana, and she provides the voice for Tohsaka Rin in the Fate series. [EDIT] Oh, and that Relius' Seiyuu is Archer (EMIYA) from Fate/Stay Night as well. lol

... Not gonna lie? I'd totally be all over this. As in auditioning for this project. I've got some good recording stuff.

Yeah. Best example I can think of is when Ragna and Jin fight. Under Heaven Destruction anyone?

Lambda, if she were to develop and didn't have her own personality wiped out in replacement of Nu's, would probably be a frightened Murakumo unit, if her memories of being tortured as an experiment are any indication. Hateful of humans and hesitant to trust them. It'd be a mixture of developing a trust in maybe some characters like Litchi or Makoto, helping her warm up to the idea that some humans are good people, and then her functions as a Murakumo unit and fighting Ragna. Also having her faith in humanity broken by Relius. Because why the hell not? He's the fucking prick that would be up for that kind of thing. Him or Kokonoe, of course, since they could give two damns about others least they achieve their own goals. She'd be the tragic female character of the series (she already is).

I think there's a difference between Mortal Kombat and BlazBlue though. When you do a fatality, it's because you've already won the match. That I can understand. Astrals in a match are a lot more rarer when you're playing seriously. For example, I was playing a friendly match with Nemesis one time, Ragna mirror and I caught him in a back throw midscreen. I didn't realize until partway through my combo that I had the right condition for an Astral, so I finished my combo in Black Onslaught, and that was all she wrote. I've intentionally tried going for Astral and dragged things out before, but more often then not I'll try and close out the match quicker when I know that by holding back I'm just gonna get my butt kicked anyway. Situational at best, but awesome when pulled off, that's how I feel about Astrals used intentionally in combos or as punishes.

People who get angry at Astral finishes are retarded anyways. One way or another, you LOSE. Doesn't matter if you eat a distortion, a combo or an astral. If someone's gonna throw a temper tantrum because they went out in a blaze of glory to a kickass finisher...well. Too bad for them? When I see the opportunity to astral, if I can combo into it and secure the match, I'll do it. What incentive do I have not to?

Tales of the Abyss did a pretty damn good job, I'd say. So I'd say you're better off holding your breath on this one.

I've got 3 days off. Who wants to go for a FT10 against my Ragna? I don't care if I get bodied or not. I wanna put up a fight.

Camalange? Hot damn! What's goin' on!

Good games to everyone in NeoGio's lobby for the stream! So many good matches, lots of mashing, and all in all, lots of things to learn. Especially wanna give a shoutout to XDest. There's something about Ragna dittos that are so action-packed, yet at the same time can be so damn funny the next instant. Even if the ratio was 2 wins for my 1 win in the grand scheme. Since we were mainly goofing around and having fun it doesn't matter, but if I had to say, from your Hell's Fang -> Rapid -> 6C, that's fine and all, but if you're gonna do the 6B -> 5C -> 5D midscreen combo, if you're close enough it'll actually link from the dash cancel with 6A into j.D, seeing as I tech'd out every single time you tried that combo with 5C. That or try 6B -> 5C -> sj.C -> j.D -> etc.belialedgeyaddayadda after you rapid into 6C. That and 5D (first hit) into Dead Spike instead of the full 5D into Dead Spike in the corner. Also, thanks for the ID ladder. T'was good laughs. XD

lol the Ragna. /waves

Hahah, good timing, Neo.

I don't see you in the lobbies anywhere. Wanna invite me? If it turns out our connection isn't good, I won't be mad about you declining.

I wouldn't mind. Didn't we have a 1-bar connection last time we played? Or was that on XBox Live? IDK how well our connection would be, but I could play for a short while.

Fundamentally, Ragna is a good start imo. But as far as maining someone more fun and less demanding, yes, characters like Makoto or Hakumen are good. Actually more importantly, the challenge modes are fantastic for teaching you execution. Then you can go from there and learn other combos based upon what you've learned from the Challenges. Relius isn't too hard, it's just you gotta keep an eye on Ignis' meter, that's all. If you're worried about meter management, then yeah, Makoto and Hakumen are a good start. I'd give you some good pointers to start off from, but I'm only efficient in Ragna.

Oh hey! You were the guy who popped into that room with..what's his hammer, forget his name. Thanks for the games! I had fun.

Sure. I gotta go do some things first then I'll be around later in the afternoon.

fix'd for ya.

Who'd be up for a FT10? Or just some games in particular?

Akira says he'd be down for FT10'ing me. Not sure if I'd want to or not. It'd be a mess.

Anyone up for some games?
