New avatar request because I am such a Chun-Li fan. :D If possible, I would love to have this in an avatar size with Chun-Li's SFIII 3S stage as the background behind Chun-Li. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f4/Chun-Li_tatsunoko.png Oh, and as an added bonus, I would love to have a border around the image with the words "Mikel" in the bottom right corner of it like last time as well.

Hello everyone, just figured that I want to know if any of you are interested in some PSN ranbats for P4U. I aim to make these ranbats to help players that do or do not like ranked matches, or better yet, want something to practice in anticipation for tournaments with P4U as a main event game. I have options available for the ranbats, I want some opinions or suggestions on them and what you think are best on what the general public will prefer. NOTE: I hope to do the first one sometime before the end of the month, if successful, I hope to make them available every 2 weeks after each concluded ranbat. If you are interested, give your input and hopefully I can work something out. 1. Organization I am going to use Challonge for the brackets, but for communication, I have two options available for the ranbats and one I will leave for suggestions. Descriptions are as follows: PSN chat room - PSN has a feature where you can start chat rooms and organize casuals with the players involved. Results can be reported in through the chat room. Dustloop - The forums will be where I will post the info about the ranbats, but it can take some time because you need a browser to access it. Results can be reported in through a PM to me or on the PSN chat room. Other - Suggestions are welcome, but be sure to include where to send the results. 2. Time and Day Self-explanitory. If you participate in the ranbats, what time and day would you prefer to be available on? (To prevent clashing with the XBL ranbats, Saturday would seem fine, but that's just me) In your opinion, what will be the best day and time for the ranbats to be held? - Just to make sure, let me know what day and time you are available at. This will help me set up a valid date/time. I live in the central coast of the US, splitting the ranbats into two timezone groups (CST/EST and PST/MST) can help sort out connections separately, but I need your opinions on how it should be handled. 3. Player registration numbers This will be a ranbat, but in case the timezones are divided into two groups, a recommended number of players for it is always encouraged. 8, 16, or 32 player (Tournament friendly) entry, but remove those that have dropped out. - This is obviously a fan favorite option, but the choice is up to you. If the ranbats are divided between CST/EST and PST/MST, then 32 player entry may have to be encouraged. Save reservations for players that are interested. 4. Point Structure I will keep score of the players participating through a spreadsheet on Google Docs. Points for participation, plus bonus points for those who placed high in the ranbat rankings. Points for participation, plus bonus points for whenever you advance a round. 5. Disconnection from the match In the case of a disconnection... Other notes: [*]Netplay Lag - Let me know on whoever is lagging during your match. If I get enough complaints from that player on their opponent during the ranbat, I will temporarily suspend their entry until they fix their lag issue. While I don't like this option, a laggy player will never make things fun. [*]Streaming - I currently lack the necessary equipment for streaming the matches, but if you want to volunteer, let me know. [*]Character Lock - Yes, your character choice is locked within each tournament; but when the next one starts, you can change your character. [*]You must register with your main PSN account - I will not encourage those who sign up with backups. If you signed up with the PSN provided, that will be the account you will use for the ranbats. No backup accounts are allowed when signing up. Let me know whenever you are interested in a PSN ranbat series. I expect five answers before I can work something out. If you have any questions or concerns, don't be shy to ask. Thanks for your time, and I hope we can have some fun PSN ranbats in the future! [*]Forfeit the match - The ranbats will be best of 2 out of 3, so things will move smoothly. [*]Forfeit the round - A rematch will have to be done, but it may slow things down. [*]Rematch - May slow things down.

Alright, cool. I hope to get more PSN match videos up and running on my YT page in the coming weeks.

It is the same guy, his voice is always similar in most of his announcing work.

I hope individual PSN matches are allowed. If so, I have two I want to share: [08/07/12] Mikel93 (YK) vs. Jodash64 (YK) - My first match on PSN, which was also a ranked match. I guess I wasn't too shabby there. [08/10/12] Mikel93 (YK) vs. Viper22331 (NA) - Player match. My apologies if they are recorded from a phone. XD

Done and done. Thanks for contributing some helpful tips to this thread, they are really helpful.

It's more or less a timing thing. During an air backdash, it takes some time before you perform your next action. I might be wrong, but I guess that is how it works when it comes to backdashes and their timing.

Yeah, I have to agree with the comboing into Maragidyne part. At times, it will lead into an invalid combo or it just won't connect at all. Truth be told, I don't recommend ending your combos with Maragidyne at all (Namely the C version).

Unblockable setups/resets, Fire Boost and Fire Break timing (Beware of Fire Boost High (214CD), though, its not worth 25 SP), and timing your Agi and Maragi chains are good ways to practice with Yukiko when in Training Mode.

First post updated to include the more recent entries to this thread.

Going back to CT to grind for trophies. If anyone wants to join me, let me know. :3 It kinda feels awkward going back to this game after playing some P4U, but I still like BB regardless.

Seth looks like he will impress me, although he is a rushdown type character. Also... why the announcer change? The old announcer was fine.

OP updated to include some more helpful tips and tricks by Sindelian and Flipboy189. Thanks a bunch for this everyone! I am glad I made a thread like this to help Yukiko players come up with new strategies to help improve their playstyle with her. Any more tips and tricks are always welcome.

I never played with Arakune much, so I am not entirely sure on that. I will double check it once I get my chance to go back to BlazBlue.

Yep, exactly. I guess I have to make that correction right now. Yeah, I guess Errol is right on that. Dive cancelling 5D wouldn't make sense. Best bet is that dive cancels can now connect to 5D's.

You are welcome, Mumm-Ra, here are some more Arakune notes.

You are welcome, Mumm-Ra, here are some more Arakune notes.

Not to mention that his JP VA used to be Tomokazu Seki (Kanji Tatsumi's VA) prior to The Sly Collection's redub of the JP voice work. With the game's Japanese release confirmed, I hope we can see a good amount of JP players online once its released.

I translated some of the new Arakune info that Mumm-Ra was able to gather: I hope this will help those that want to know Arakune's changes for BBCP.

Some Arakune info from Mumm-Ra's recent post: I hope this will help those that want to know Arakune's changes for BBCP. EDIT: How Player's Guild works (Repost from Hype thread and translated from the site's about page):

Also, it turns Ragna into his younger self, as seen in the reveal trailer.

That was VF, Tekken also used a system similar to the one VF had since Tekken 5 came along. I don't recall seeing Soul Calibur use a Danisen system at all, since SC didn't have another Arcade installment after SCIII.

Rankings for the new "Player's Guild" are now functional. http://sp.bbcp.ac/ranking_view.php First option is the total victory ranking, while the second option is the "Dan Ranking". The latter sure does sound like it will replace the PSR system... although that's just me...

Yep. You are right on that. How Player's Guild works (Translated from the site's about page):

I really hope to see some new Azrael videos soon. Oh, and as a reminder. Location testing for Chrono Phantasma starts tomorrow, I hope to see some notes on the new ranking system and some videos demonstrating it. Also, a new site for what appears to be the new rankings site is open: http://sp.bbcp.ac/
