That was a great comparison. You are swell for doing this. It's much appreciated! As a new casual arc sys and noob, these differences weren't apparent to me. Thanks. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Amen brother. I'm in the same boat. I say the same thing. My wife asks me why I don't just trade the game in for Wolfenstein. I say, "because I ain't no punk b****! Gator don't take s*** from nobody. So now I'm in the lab. Combos every day. Just to get the muscle memory part down. I'm not going online for a week or two. Just combos and defense against the training dummy. Like I'm going to do 100 of the same combo a day...just that one. And then move to the next combo. But the hard part of the game to me is surviving the onslaught of attacks from players and then being able to mount a sound retaliation. This game seems more like who can pressure the other first and keep keep the momentum going. Defense is key, and I need practice. Look up some tutorials by omex on YouTube. Good luck.

OK, I see. I should have named it differently. Too late to edit title huh? Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

See that wasn't so hard was it? I appreciate it! Thanks for being a bro! Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

Look, I'm fairly new to both franchises, so I just want to know the differences. Forums are for discussion right? Why should this be closed of the jump? You are seasoned. Give me the low down please. Simple right? Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

Always someone on the negative. Lol. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

I know this question had probably been answered before, but I've yet to find the distinction. What is tree difference between the two? Or at least the latest iterations of both franchises. To me the main differences seem to be that BB has a more intricate and lengthy combo system. This is just by the video footage I've watched. Also, BB seems to have more fighters that use off character mechanisms. Litchi rod, relius, Carl, platinum, kokonoe, etc. Sorry if this question has been beat to death.

Good info. Thanks for taking the time to lay all of those options out. I'll give it a shot and most of all, I have to be patient. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

I found a couple informative videos on defense. It explains in depth the different blocks, barriers, knockdown recovery, etc. The application is hard, but at least I know it exists lol.

Is there a good tutorial on defense and counters anywhere? I am new and most of the time I just can't seem to mount an offense because I get rush into blocking for most of the match. When I try to retaliate, I get countered and punished into oblivion. For the characters I use (makoto and tsubaki ) is their short range that big of a deal? For a beginner should I use someone with more range? Any suggestions about who I should consider trying? Thanks in advance. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I'm going to hit the lab tonight lol. I have to hash out some strategies. Thanks. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

Stylish, you hit it on the head, capcom hasn't progressed much. My wife asked me the other day why I don't play it anymore. The way Arc is doing games is a bot refreshing. I too went to Guilty gear and since then I knew they were doing the fight game right. I always likes BB, But was never good at it. I mean, I beat the game on hard, but that's different. I'm making progress though. I feel bad playing online, not because I get my buttkicked. But because I feel like I a. Wasting player's time when they run through me with ease.

Damnit, work calls.

Noted. I have a lot of time this weekend. I need to jump on a group with the same level of skill as me or a tad better. I will say this, when I made a very conscious effort to stop mashing and do combos, it sometimes worked. I'm finding her best normal for a starter is 5b.

Good info guys thanks.

Yeah, I know. Her moves and "personality " are cool though. I know I don't have hakumen patience. I may just roll Jin or Bang.

Makoto

I'm looking forward to those better days. Most of all, I can't stay composed. I get to mashing sometimes. Just to break a combo... But that doesn't help lol. I'm getting rushed down. I think I should get a character that is easier to pick up some basic BBCP skill with and then move on. I dunno.

Alright. But I feel that I am missing a key component of the game and that's defending and countering. Like I can block all day, but retaliation is hard. I'll read up on it and see if something gives me a moment of enlightenment lol.

I get totally destroyed every match hands down. If they get the first attack of then I'm doomed I stay in the corner and can't break out unless I do a burst. I can't seem to match on a tack after my blocks training is over. Is there a special toys to the counter attack after I block all of their attacks? Maybe I'm too old school Street Fighter ish for this game. I can do combos good in practice but against a person I always get countered.

OK.so I have another issue. I can't retaliate because my range too short how do you guys do with that? It seems that once I finish my block string I can't pull up the counter attack because I'm too far away and the opponent overwhelms me. Do I have to choose a character with more range? It seems whatever normal I tried to do the opponent just too far away.

I think I need to focus more on execution vs a dummy. I also have to learn to keep a cool head while playing. I get caught up trying to aerial combo with a DP included facing right side lol. I use a joystick. I switch to a hex gate, but I might go back to square.

Yeah, I found Makoto lacking in range which was annoying. Last night I did training mode for a while. Set the opponent to COM and too 100. Oh yeah, my opponent was ragna. He mopped me up for about 20 minutes before I quit and said something isn't right. My issue was A is too short, B is too slow, whenever try to start with B after I block string, he counters me. I definitely need footsies work and better timing with 2D.

Thanks a lot. I may have to consider the difficulty of her play style. I didn't realize that she was considered that low tier until I did some research and event hubs. Seems that the characters I like are lower tier other than bang.

Hi folks. Not sure if this is the right place to put my question, but here goes nothing. I just stared trying to play blazblue seriously. Bought the game last week and I love it. I have no luck competing online. I get pinned down and rush down all the time. I can't seem to get my combos started. What are your best starters for combos? Her range seems a bit lacking. Also, I can't seem to perfect my running when trying to 2D>5B. Seems in my mind a have to count 1234. Lol. What are 3 BnBs I can try and lock into? Finally, how long realistically did it take you to get decent at this? I come from a street fighter and tekken background.
