Cecilia's Vice

So after my experience with netplay tonight, I've decided that no matter what I'm going to get involved in a local scene instead. I don't see anything going on in western New York so I guess I'm going down to you guys. If I can't make this one, I'll try to get to the next one. I'll be the angry kid with the paper hat.

Hello all of you Noel mainer people. I just got my copy of Extend today after like two years of not playing Blazblue. After playing around for a while in vs against my brother I have deduced that I now have a negative skill level and so I decided to sign up here and get some help. First off, the combos in this thread look a lot different than anything I've done so far in challenge mode. Are they useless in real matches? Should I not even bother learning and memorizing them or are any of them helpful? Second, I'm wondering which of the combos are important to learn first? Which ones will I be having to use often? I'd like to start learning the bread and butter combos and I'm not sure where to start. Third... uh... I don't really have a third right now. I'm sure I'll be asking more questions as I go along learning to play again, so expect more and more posts from me, hopefully you guys are patient. >_<' Oh, and if any of you guys would want to add me to play Extend, PSN is CeciliasVice. Don't expect anything out of me but playing with some real people would be nice and would probably help me learn.
