I kind of wish all the shadows had moves with altered properties or a different move or two (besides autocombo) to further differentiate them from the normal characters.

I'm sure it's just a glitch, but it actually gave me a bit of a creepy feeling.

Which is why it seems in Persona 4 Arena. I do wonder, though, if we'll finally see the first half of Persona mixed with the second half, if you know what I mean. They've been seemingly distant until P4A... Yes, that's what shadows were in P2. Personally, given how badly some of the characters in P4A were put off by their "fake" shadow, it's not like the malevolent entity is completely off base in its accusations. I see as one of humanity's universally shared shadows, just like Philemon is the aggregate of mankind's positive potential. Also, while sparse, there are a few links between P1/2 and P3/P4. P3 in particular has the older character show up on some of the random TV specials in the dorm lobby certain days in the year. And Kirijo is explicitly stated to have been an offshoot of the Nanjo group. I'd LOVE to see one or more P1/2 character in a fighting game though.

I've got a power-A controller that you can borrow when I'm not using it. Doesn't have the same D-pad, but the shape and layout of the controller itself and the analog stick (if you use it) are the same as 360. In General: I'm not going to be able to pre-req. The reason is I'm having issues with my card provider right now. I can just sign up on the day of the tournament if I get there early enough, right?

I'm sure people have noticed this before, but

What you do now depends on how much you care. I've got terrible win ratios online in every fighter I play (< 10% in SF4), but slowly I've been getting better overall. I pulled my ratio with Liz in Persona 4 from 25% to over 50% again in P4A, after putting in some effort to level up my game. I'm able to endure being on the ass-end of the playerbase because I truly enjoy the games and think it's worth it to play even knowing I will probably lose. If you want to play Kagura, just keep playing him, and keep learning. If you don't think it's worth it, go do something more worth your time. We can't force you to keep playing, or give you a magic bullet that will make you a top player. The only one that can do that, is you.

Agreed. Maya, Jun, Reiji, or Yukino are the one's I'd really want to see. Even if the speculation about who the villain is turns out to be true, I'd like if they had their own form. Not shadow mode proxies. Like, have it be a shadow mode equivalent to Liz (no normal mode). That said, given how much more popular the later games are, and that having Ken or Marie (or lol Koromaru) show up makes more sense storywise. They have friends connected to all this, the P1/P2 crowd don't.

Quick question: will the invul frames on 6A eat bursts? A lot of people locally tend to burst after valiant during the 5C's, but trying to bait via blocking loses me my combo if they don't burst. I was hoping that I could 6A early in the chase moves if I predict a burst and be able to continue the combo anyways if they don't. EDIT: Thanks Rath

Universal nerfs and some hilariously good S-tier characters aside (and even then I thought balance was alright until Koko), Blazblue CP doesn't make me sick. Just seeing the way PU2 has "evolved" from loketest to loketest does. And this many loketests in, I can't even tell myself "it's just a loketest" anymore.

Just so you know, 5BB has a tendency to autocorrect direction if it's delayed even a little bit. Teleporting the 5B is even worse, since 5BB absolutely will autocorrect and score a counterhit. Azrael 5B meaty is totally secure for Azrael since if you wake-up teleport the 5BB will hit you.

Ah, but I loved KoF XIII's spritework... Apparently it did take forever and half to make them though. I'm really going to miss sprites come the future of fighting games...

Seeing as they've made a different Sol vs. Ky theme for just about every game, I wouldn't be surprised is Xrd had a new one.

This. Hell, there are times I'd rather just watch certain people play each other.

GG's to lobby. Especially that Carl player I played like 30 matches with.

This is pretty simple stuff, but if a Kokonoe thinks they can mindlessly set fireball on you, and you have 50 meter, BHS beats it out easy. Even with graviton up, it still covers at least 3/4 if the screen. Even stuffs the super fireball, since you'll hit them as they fire it, they fly back, and you can chase while the fireball lands harmlessly behind you. BHS will hit Kokonoe after her invul runs out, and the super fireball will be too high to hit you, even if they already had a graviton out. Not sure if BHS stands up to OD gravity though.

GGs to everyone I played lobby, especially Argent Zero for giving me Tager hugs.

The problem with that is that any set-up where Kokonoe is going to use the Black Hole, she's going to do it off of meaty 22B (lightning bolt) or some other situation where you're stuck blocking. So you'll just get hit since the Black Hole will appear right on top of you, and 3C won't come out fast enough for you to escape. Most escapes from the black hole setup involve characters with supers with both forward momentum and invulnerability on startup (Bang's Daifunka, Yukikaze). Or Azrael, since he can just growler the setup.

I use analog, but I also play on 360 style controllers. Which have ass D-pads, and the placement and shape of the analog stick is better imo. I stick to d-pad when I have to play on PS3 controller for the exact reasons Celerity pointed out. However, if you're going to have to drop money on a new controller, you might want to seriously consider just getting a stick instead. Stick has its perks, which the higher price and time spent learning to use it buy.

Alright, I should be able to make this! Free extra $10 to the winners of whatever I join.

Please clarify for me, does this mean that the entire world population, except the main characters and maybe some other people, died in the ending? Leaving only the "worthy ones" behind? EDIT: Thanks for the reply.

This character is nuts. Day 1 Kokonoe's had the salt stream running in my local group. It's only going to get worse from here... I like the character, but for now, she's a bit much. I'd almost like to know how she's going to play post-inevitable nerf before putting in a lot of time on her god-mode variant now. Well, she is the child of the Greatest and the Strongest.

Ok, all my BnB's work on her, including TCL/TCV combos (for both ground and air hits of tiger). If you were doing anything particularly more advanced, I can't say, but our basic routes work on her.

Like, CS2 Makoto hitboxes broken? That sounds super obnoxious.

Oh Yeah. Here's hoping it stays.

Sounds fine to me. Ragna sounds like that all the time when he's not in serious/angry/I'm a loner mode. And given that he's incredulous about Kokonoe showing up in person to fight him, it makes sense he'd act like that.
