Braver's Revel Top 8. It's the first BBCF National event in Japan. 32-team invitational tournament. Highlights: - Goro bends Dogura over the arcade cabinet and has his way with him - Finals: Makoto (Matsu)/Nine vs Makoto (Goro)/Carl. Let that sink in for a moment: no matter who wins, Makoto wins nationals. :O - Mori is there. He's probably going to nerf Makoto into the ground again. #RIP :/ Spoilers if you want to find out who won (look at it anyway once you're done watching because awesome fanart):

It's 4/2 on the East Coast. :o Happy birthday Makoto! #neverforget

#ripbb Anyway, because I like rankings and I saw this on jourdal's twitter, here are the current arcade rankings as of 3/12/16: dat hades tier squirrel tho

No video thread yet so here's something to curb that squirrel hunger. Goro getting the cleanest kills. He really likes using new Comet Cannon. I can see why.

turns out putting things in spoilers make them unable to be editted in the future uh oh this is going to take a while EDIT: bumbled my way through and removed the spoilers somehow. I finished the first post. I'll work on the other post some other time though. EDIT: All posts finished

No one wants to play Makoto in Japan which means no info. :/ Makoto's laying down mid-screen mixtapes hotter than the sun though. https://twitter.com/herikasu/status/660786721907347456

Status update: the main post's links are restored, thanks to @shtkn. Formatting and new videos still needs to be done, hopefully either today or sometime this week. The way the site is laid out, saving all the links (i.e: clicking each link and C+P the youtube link onto a document) is time-consuming and hopefully, unnecessary. There's a new game coming out soon after all and I don't think the site will be moving any time soon. That said, if you wish to backup the thread yourself, feel free to do so. EDIT: new videos up and formatting complete. I'm gonna make some apt descriptions of the characters in the video thread now. I feel as though I earned it.

Goro is 18th dan again and holds #8. It's been a while since he's been that high but I haven't been checking. Also, he's using the tag "goromakoto" which is cool. http://sp.bbcp.ac/ranking_view.php?mode=exe&type=psr_rank http://sp.bbcp.ac/member_profile_view.php?user_id=2735 The recent BBCF changes sound like net neutral changes at worst, which is good. That said, Hiago said that no one played her at the loc tests so... :/ EDIT: screenshot for posterity. He's 6th now. I wish I caught one when he was 2nd. :/

I started working on it but the mass of hyperlinks seem to be making the site very slow for me. Thank you for the help! I'll format it when you're done.

I've been trying to restore some of the links in the past hour or so. The site is very unresponsive when it comes to hyperlinks. Formatting is a huge hassle. I could only get a few characters done. Then I pressed backspace one too many times and lost about 15 minutes of work. So I'm done for now. I'm gonna clear out all of the dead links to see if that helps the loading issue. I'll work on it when I have time. Hiago is helping me get in touch with shtkn about the backups from the previous forums but in the meantime, I'll work on this when I can. There's a few links missing from the pastebin but 90% s better than nothing. Thanks @DualFayte!

That new super is just a form of art. <3 I'll update soon.

Wow, this is really bad. I have no idea how I want to approach this, especially when I get a 406 error when I try to access this site through Chrome on my laptop.

...just had to remove "no violence pls" from the Mak mirror section. (goro vs matsu finals were hype as fuck tho) (also, the combo videos have been up since last year in its own section) (updated) RULES OF NATURE AND THEY RUN WHEN THE SUN COMES UP WITH THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE ALIIIIIIIIIVE! FOR A WHIIIIIIIILE NO CHOICE! GOTTA FOLLOW THE LAWS OF THE WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTQIogLBFBs

Updated. The header being broken is bothering me though. :/

MAKOTO Exceed Accel: Cygnus Combination Sirius Jolt (41236C) Infinite Rush (Press C during A Asteroid Vision [button can be mashed]) - Mars Chopper (A during Infinite Rush) - Star Gazer (B during Infinite Rush) - Lander Blow (D during Infinite Rush [Chargeable]) Shooting Star (236B [Can be used after Infinite Rush or Asteroid Vision]) [used to be 236D and was chargeable] * Lunatic Upper removed Some copy-paste from the BBCF thread. Surprised no one posted this here. Then again, we shouldn't make too much noise or they'll take our stuff away for another three years. There are some serious changes which makes sense since everything is getting overhauled. If Infinite Rush functions the same, the follow-up game could be fun. Am I gonna Mars Chopper early, Star Gazer late, etc? Hiago mentioned on twitter that Sirius Jolt is unblockable but slow and that Makoto no longer has SMP on her drives. No idea what this means since they can change it whenever they want but the last time that was a thing, Makoto was 800-yen tier. Not gonna lie, it was pretty cool.

Apologies for taking so long. I check dustloop on my phone every now and then when I'm bored (a few times a week) but I only make updates on my laptop. That said, my laptop is on its last legs so I don't like using it. I try to update every month at least but feel free to shoot me a message to speed things up when the videos are piling up

I wanted to update this later because I had something else I had to do today. I procrastinated by doing this instead. ...so, it's updated.

Updates have been made. Combo video added. (i need a new laptop :/ )

Updates have been made. Combo video has been watched (and added). That 10k combo looks delicious (I like big numbers).

Thanks to Errol for translating the Goro interview. Pretty nice read.

Status check: http://sp.bbcp.ac/ranking_view.php?mode=exe&type=psr_rank Goro is #8 at 17th dan and goes by the name "Bridegroom" Famitsu interviewed him recently: http://s.famitsu.com/news/201504/14076215.html Hiago and Eshi translated a couple things from his interview. Interesting tidbits include the fact that he does not use training mode much as finding new combos or using setplay doesn't fit him and plays whenever he feels like it. He says that Tager and Hakumen are free because they are so slow which allows him to plan his approach. Tsubaki on the other hand gives him a hard time. His tier list is included as well: Makoto is solid mid-tier to him. Could he destroy Blazblue if he actually put in effort? I'd like to think so.

This is the best intro since CS, mainly because of this: https://33.media.tumblr.com/8dd513e64b14974d7d4b7ef2e0dc7b68/tumblr_nm601vCxQj1s0fo0zo1_400.gif In a nutshell: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *0.7 seconds later* *Tsubaki spends the next month eating all of her meals through a straw.* #truefriendship

His reference point for "data" started a month and a half ago when the game has been out for what, 5-6 months now? Me being a fanboy of the shining beacon of light that is Goro (or Hikari no Senshi since that's been his tag for a while now), kept track of his dan ranking every now and then. Since November, Makoto has been #3 on the overall dan rankings and was #2 near the end of January for a solid month. According to TT, he started checking just around the time Goro let his ranking drop (he fell to about 15th dan at one point). Only recently did he get back to top 20 (17th dan, #17). Based on his metrics, Makoto would be S-/A+ (yikes). Besides the time reference issues, there are different areas in Japan with different levels of competition. Some people could just be playing to the competition ceiling at their arcades and get their 15th-17th dan rankings that way. I also wouldn't put it past some players to pad their rankings by playing against less skilled players. There are also players that perform well beyond the expected norm for a character. Makoto is widely considered the worst character in CP 1.0 (and CSEX and CP1.1) but Goro and Matsu has consistently held 17th and 18th dans for a majority of CP 1.0. She's the main reason why I put more scrutiny on dan-based rankings. For three years, Makoto has been the actual worst character on the roster but she has a god of Blazblue representing her along with a former top Bang player. It's just... weird. Dan rankings are not a bad metric for tier placement but I would take anything read with a grain of salt.

It is currently April 2nd on the East Coast. Today is a historic day as this is the first time in a very long time that Makoto spends her birthday free of the burdens of being bottom 1. Even though Mori and the rest of the marketing department for BB continue to act like our wonderful squirrel girl doesn't exist, we will never forget her. (...at least in our hearts because this thread is D E A D.) Happy Birthday Makoto! EDIT: a gif from the new CPEX intro Time it takes Makoto to get in that ass = 0.8 seconds

Updates have been made. Also added this FT10 I saw on Twitter. Goro (MA) vs Dora (BA) FT10
