I didn't import it, I was talking about the release in march. I'm not being a baby. I spent my money on something, with the promise, the expectation that the game would receive the update, which is the only reason I bought it in the first place. I bought it when it first released, and still, I have not got to play it. I wasted my money on an update that seemingly isn't coming, and doesn't seem to be coming any time soon because they know that if people want it bad enough, they will just import it. See the fucking problem here? Anyone would be mad over it, especially given all the time we've waited.

Gave up. I'm not buying the japanese version, fuck these guys. Got my money once, didn't get what was promised. Fuck it, there's no point to waiting on this anymore. It is dead to me. Guess I'll play BB chronophantasma til xrd releases. This is bs man.... wish all the fuckin weeaboos would stop fucking importing everything. The mainstream gaming industry is already biased towards many anime based games, and since all the weeaboos import, instead of buying the english releases, thats less incentive to port anything at all. Thanks you fucking weeaboos. Thanks for empowering an industry that focuses on Hollywood esque American action games by showing the publishers that Americans really don't care about Japanese games..since all the fans of these games can't fucking wait for the releases in their actual language, taking sales away from English release versions. The importers are destroying all incentive for Japanese localizations. Stupid fuckin weeaboos can't wait like normal fucking people..

Arrgghhh WHERE THE FUCK IS IT WHERE THE FUCK IS IT, WHERE THE FUCK. IS. IT. THIS IS BULLSHIT.

It's been weeks since the japanese version got the update, and still nothing over here. Anyone have any idea when the update will come out? This has been nothing but a huge waiting game since day one..really getting tired of waiting.

Well, I was both misinformed, and lacked a firm understanding of the mechanic, but you're not wrong. Still though, if you think that's me losing my shit, you would hate to see me when I actually lose my shit. I'll admit i drew a hasty and ill informed conclusion.

I guess It isn't so bad, realizing that the overdive can be used by both players from the start of the match. I had originally thought that the overdrive meter would fill, so whoever takes the most damage first, would have it first.

Still, I dislike a mechanic that gives an advantage to a player which is losing more so to a player that is winning. Since the duration is based on health, the person who is losing benefits much more from it than the person who is winning if used at the same time. Comeback mechanics have no place in fighting games in my opinion. One should not be given ANY sort of advantage, at all, for losing, even if it can be dealt with by good players. The fact that it even happens in the first place is off putting. Guess I will just have to wait and see how it actually pans out...

True, I do not have a firm understanding of the overdrive system..but it just doesn't sound like a good addition to me. I didn't know bursting takes it away.

How do you all feel about the overdrive mechanic? It seems like a comeback mechanic, and what is your stance on comeback mechanics in fighting games? I found this article discussing the direction of blazblue, and the introduction of a comeback mechanic. http://letstalkaboutgaming.blogspot.com/2013/02/irrelevant.html Great article with very valid points. The only one really concerning for me, is the overdrive mechanic. This is really bad news, for me personally. I can't stand comeback mechanics, and yet, its becoming the new trend in fighting games. How can they not see how a comeback mechanic DEFEATS THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF FIGHTING GAMES? A player who is losing SHOULD NOT be given an unfair advantage to make up for their LACK OF SKILL. This NEGATES all form of balanced, skill based competitive play. To me, this is just ridiculous and if this trend continues I will only play old school fighters like the original GGS and Third Strike. If a player lacking in skill, gets his ass handed to him the entire match, is granted bonuses to damage, health, and priority, and then wins, THAT WIN IS NOT LEGIT. That player won not by skill, but by a blatant advantage GIVEN to them for their lack of skill. Does anyone else feel the same? This has honestly, really irritated me. I don't even want to play CSE anymore, knowing that CP has comeback mechanics. This franchise is practically dead to me now. WHY DON'T THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO FIGHTING GAMES? I swear, if the new GG features a comeback mechanic, I'm done with fighters. forever. Well, I take that back. Maybe American devs will start developing better ones, since the Japanese love to abandon all traces of common sense. Thoughts? Opinions? Am I over reacting or are these concerns justified?
