I'm happy to say I can do 22C in the corner just fine. I have yet to learn optimized midscreen combos though so I haven't attempted it there yet.

You seem to be new to the game. It's important with Platinum to be close to your opponent and pressure them with your attacks. But don't use attacks like Mami Circular or your down C move unless you combo into them. If your opponent blocks those attacks, you'll be in trouble. Also I saw you press a lot of buttons randomly in the middle of the screen. You can't mash random buttons in BlazBlue to win. You have to learn combos. I saw you do a good combo in the corner but you need to know how to combo in the middle of the screen too. So basically, don't do random attacks. Learn how to combo into your bigger attacks from smaller ones. It will help if you go to Challenge mode. But don't worry if you keep playing and learn from watching other people play, you'll start improving.

Plat changes a lot in Extend so it's important to have it, especially if you're going to be playing with other people who have the current version of the game.

Happy birthday Platinum!

How did you know I was a stand-up comedian?

I took a peek at the Ragna thread and they already have a decent number of combos listed. Plat players should step it up D: Ah thank you. Those are helpful tips. :D Have any for against Hazama? Haha

Thanks, I'll probably do that. I've been wanting to play more characters anyway. Haha I really want to improve this iteration of the game.

I usually put Random for music when I play with friends, but I feel like I'll be doing Auto for a while. I actually like Active Angel now, and the Six Heroes VS theme is great.

I have a hard time against Ragna D: Lose to my friend almost always. Anyone have advice? Yes Extend advice haha that game still exists for now.

Sure if that's what you want to call it ;D This.

I wonder what Amane does to his transformed opponents behind the curtain before "Astral Finish!" is announced...

So putting two and two together we have to keep him away from us, but our missiles and bombs might be obsolete? D:

I went through the trouble of recording the Mu-12 training footage at the end of the stream, but it looks like it's included in the entire recording above. Oh well I'll post a YouTube link anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWIZbDdof58

If anyone wants more Mu-12 footage, I managed to record this training session during the stream a couple hours ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWIZbDdof58

Well yeah, he was nerfed, but it's not as bad as everyone thought it was.

Thinking Hakumen would be worse was reasonable, but it just goes to show that one shouldn't jump to conclusions so early. We have a while to go before everything settles and we know the optimized combos and match-up info for each character. The game wasn't even out when people decided he was badly nerfed.

Whenever someone replies to what I said I can't tell if they know what the intention behind my post was xD Just to clarify I'm not a Hakumen player and I chose exaggerated terms to pretty much make a note of how people's views on Hakumen are suddenly different than before. And so I think people should wait before judging how good he actually is. Maybe I phrased it badly. But yeah he doesn't seem bad to me by any means from what I've seen. Personally I can't complain about the changes to my main, Platinum. She's looking strong.

Well yeah I didn't mean an actual change when I said "went" - I was referring to how people viewed him. It was an exaggerated choice of words too.

The Treasure Chests look fantastic. And the Pan dropping you to the ground really does seem to help. I've seen the instant Guard Crush from the Hammer help Plat a lot too when she's pressuring the opponent. Although Happy Magica isn't the greatest, it doesn't hurt to have a reversal option haha. 14:05 Misairu! Misairu! Misairu! That was great haha.

Yeah I get you. I chose the wrong words - it's just that everyone seems to be so concerned about his OD combos even though I've been hearing for a while now that Hakumen was badly nerfed. The contrast in attitude toward him is interesting. But yeah this really does make me wonder what other interesting combos we'll see thanks to OD.

So Hakumen went from being horribly nerfed to broken? I think it's just way too early to tell.

Haha yeah I was being sarcastic. Though who knows...? She could be entertaining. :P

Might as well ask for Linhua while we're at it. Let's at least enjoy Amane, Azrael, Bullet and Izayoi and let ArcSys pleasantly surprise us whenever they feel like it.

That's fair haha. I can't wait to see what's discovered. Plat is already looking plenty strong thanks to her new options.

Hello all. I'm new to Dustloop. I've been playing BlazBlue since CSII and Platinum has been my main since I started. I'm okay at her I suppose but yeah I'm no professional. I like the new Platinum a lot. Her pressure seems better, the treasure chests are amazing, and her combos are still fine. I haven't seen much use of her OD, but it seems kind of ridiculous, no? Unlimited missiles...? CDT in the air still takes me by surprise when I see it haha.
