So far, my collective time would add up to about a year, and that's not even a high level of proficiency. Blazblue is my first fighter game that I put a bunch of effort into, and first one for a console (Well .. except for SSBB). (I remember back when I was in Asia and I played a bunch of Arcade)I'm pretty good as Tager (no grab spam lol) and that took me about a few days to learn his BnB's and a few weeks to learn some decent techtraps. I've been playing Ragna since CS1, I really miss his grab combos (I envy those jins now >->). Ever since CS2 I've tried out Hazama (That didn't work out well), Tsubaki (never found the right balance between charging and attacking), Noel (I'm good as Noel, all that's left are those pesky haida loops), Taokaka (Dang 8 8D loops), Lamda (I'm also good as Lamda, I need to find decent annotations for advanced combos though), and I'm starting Hakumen now.
I feel my main -> sub ladder goes like...
Tager -> Noel -> Ragna -> Lamda
Although sometimes my Lambda can beat someone my Tager can't, lol, silly match-ups.
(My first post, how was it? Too lengthy?)
