Okidoki_Sir

But there are only like 20 groups visible to me and I do not feel like I belong in one of those. By the way: You got a pretty sick avatar :D

Thank you two For now I got no further questions :D I will practice now Played some games online today, just to see how good the opponents are. They aren't even that good. But the lag is horrible

Thanks for the answers How do these groups work? May I join any group? Is it like fanpages on facebook? And I got Skype. Is there some more information about skype groups anywhere?

I see how good they are to counter multihit drives, but I think that is something which needs tons of training, right? And about the chess thing: I understand what you wanted to tell me. But I am far away from reading somebodies mind. And even if I were a pro it would be hard to da that. Of course there are some basic combos, every player uses, but I think everybody has his very own playstyle and therefore is unpredictable if you encounter him the first time. And although some say I should try every character before I decide, I will stick to Hakumen for some time now. The videos were awesome and I also like his style. @ WillWork4Instal: I found another reason why playing on vita is easier: You can put sticky notes below the screen in case of blackout/to learn the combos :D This is what I am actually doing right now. I tried beating Arcade with only 2 basic short combos (B+C, 214A, 6C and 4C, 214A, 3C) to get used to those and see where I can apply them and where I cannot. Then I will learn some new combos which I can do when I can't do those and eventually I will replace them by something longer and more difficult. Or is this a stupid idea? :D edit: Whats "yomi"?

Well I played some Hakumen today and really enjoyed it, now that I know using D counter is not everything. Now you are telling me that I should think about that twice? :D I will go on practicing him and once I know what I dislike about him I will have a look for a character which suits me better. But if there is no such character I will stick to him. Sounds good, right? :D One question about him: Does anybody actually use the distortion drive counter? I think it is nearly impossible to pull off properly.

Hello there, I am quite new to this forum, but I wonder one thing: Why is there no offtopic subsection? Or am I just too stupid to find it? I want to become part of the community and the best way to do so usually is through some offtopic discussions. I am unskilled so I cannot talk about pro stuff, but I want to participate in discussions anyway. Apart from that it would be nice and relaxing to have the opportunity to chat about some other topics with the people that roll just like you do. Used search-function but there were no related results. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Thanks for this helpful information So you think I should go for Hakumen? And about the first hit: How to recognize wether a move is safe or not during battle? 1. Yeah, there is lots of stuff, but to do so I need a main. And apart from that the amount of information provided there is just overwhelming. I need to start somewhere :/ I thought it would be a good idea to do challenges first, because this will help my fingers to operate faster and will give me a basic understanding of how the character works. Apart from that I have sample-play and the movelist right there. 2. Now that explains a lot! Thanks! Does it have to be exactly 623 or will 6323 also do the trick, because I am not quite sure how to hit 2 coming from 6 avoiding 3. 4. This is what I want to avoid. I would like to play my main from the start. And yeah, the game is fun to watch :D And I want to participate now, too, but it's rellay frustrating :D I feel like an fat old man, watching soccer and never kicked a ball game himself.

Hakumen? He is way to difficult for me with all that counter-stuff I tried him and it was way too frustrating, missing all the counters. I get your point now, maybe this will be a problem later on. Tried Ragnas challenges and I thought they were pretty cool, but something just does not feel right about this guy :/

Awesome, thanks man But I did not really get your point with the staring at the screen and at your fingers. How is that an advantage? Apart from that, if I really fall in love with this game and stay tuned for some serious amount of time I will use my spare money to get a PS3/360. But at that time I already want to have a main I can win some matches with. I tried Jin but he is too much of a sissy for me. I would love a character which has medium speed, medium power, medium length combos, interesting look, is not overplayed like Noel, does not rely on gimmicks or projectiles (having them is always nice but overusing them sucks) and is just awesome and not too hard to learn. Sadly there is no such character in BB :D

4. You mean like that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccUqhJAlhjA ? :D And @Osuna: Thanks But if place my thumb in the middle of the pad my keypresses are pretty unprecise. But again this is just training, right? edit: Question on the video: Why is the right one gaining heat while the other one is not? Or ist this fake?

Thanks everyone 1. I already played challenge mode with most of them. Some have combos that seem impossible and some have combos that are "just" hard :D Someone told me that these aren't the combos which are used in "real" battles anyway. So how to find the good ones? Searched the forum, there are like 3742394 threads. Is there some good collection? 2. Yeah, I already prefer the pad over the analog stick. But some moves are really hard to do, like: "right down right" (displayed as a "z" on the pad in the command list). "Left down left" works just fine. Propably just training, which is needed here. 3. You got a point there. 4. Okay, so I will do this later. What should I focus on instead? 5. That's great

Hey everyone, first of all: If this is not the best place for the following stuff, please redirect me to a better one. I grabbed BB:SE for my Vita 6 months ago, started playing, got intimidated and put the game aside to continue Monster Hunter. As I got bored on a train ride last week I started playing it again and it caught my interest once more. But this time I want to do it right. I got a couple of questions, I hope you can help me 1. How to choose your main? I really like Blazblue and I like all the characters from what I have seen now, but on the same side I hate them all :D Whenever I start challenge mode with Arakune I think "Man, why are you trying this? Mu would be way more fun". This happens with all characters in both roles, so give me some inspiration how to take this really important decision. 2. How limited are my opportunities as a vita player? Am I able to all the stuff without an arcade stick? 3. How to train your fingers? This might sound ridiculous, but do you do some kind of exercise or something like that to stay in shape? I feel very slow and unprecise. Apart from that: Is there a special way to put your thumbs on the controller in order to operate faster? 4. How important is frame data for beginners? Where can I find it? 5. Is there a better place for information than here? Obviously I can't lurk around everywhere, so maybe someone knows that from his experience. 6. Thanks in advance! edit: I played ~300hrs of Soul Calibur 2. No other relevant figher experience
