Well if you say you`re a skilled amateur that is not interested in tournaments (like me) what`s the problem in using standard bnb`s that work on most of the characters. Sure you lose some dmg but who cares? I played JO in GG who has more character specific combos then all BB characters combined together and yet i used a standard bnb most of the time, while it`s still fun to experiment and try some new stuff. It`s fun having options, it allows different strategies and different playstyles of same characters. And BB doesn`t need to be more simple. Seriuosly, it can`t get more simple than this. That`s why are they adding an easy mode in CS because i`m guessing that BB will get more complex over time while still retaining easy execution (5 frame buffer, ridicolously long hitstop).

Even though i switched to BB, after 3-4 years of GG (mainly JO) i must confess it really feels like a simplified/dumbed down version of gg (maybe too much). The lack of options just makes the game a little boring. Hell, i`ll go ahead and say Melty Blood is more interesting and more difficult to play. Even though it has low execution requirement. Maybe i`m wrong but that`s just me. It`s just there is more stuff to do there even though it`s considered a simple game. I understand that BB has been made more simple to please a broader audience but maybe a little too much. I`m even starting to think that sucess of BB has little to do with the fact it`s simple. It`s more like good marketing, good online play, next gen consoles, HD sprites and stuff like that. If GG had that, it would be played same as this game, i mean casual players use 10-30% of the character capabilities or just mash buttons in BB so i fail to see how would learning curve affect casuals. Or they could have made an easy mode or something. Just look at SF4. Nobody gives a shit about 1 frame links, difficult viper stuff, gen advanced stuff, etc... The online play consists of Ken army which mash random dp`s or ultras. So why would anyone give a shit about GG frc`s, and advanced combos? And yet SF4 is succefull game. Still quite simple, but no casual cares about advanced stuff anyway. Just my 2 cents... sorry for potential mistake, english not my primary

As much as i would love to see AC on pc and ps3 i don`t think they`re gonna do that. At least not soon. IMHO alot of old GG players would just dump BB for AC with good netplay. I know i would.

One question about mugen (i`ve never played the game just watched alot of vids). Would it be possible to punish a DP (inferno divider, jin`s dp...) with it? You block a dp, enter mugen and then unleash some death or near death combo?

I played in ad-hoc alot with my friends. Even if you are both same lvl you will lvl up faster. I don`t know why, but it`s definitly faster than single player, alot.

I know this will sound like a stupid question, but, can you meaty Johnny`s 5D? you know like 2k on wakeup.

The only thing i don`t understand in this game is, what does affect the critical rate? The only thing i`m sure is, when you deflect someones atack(or parry anything with jecht`s parry move) , and hit him afterwards the critical rate is definitly increased.

Also if you don`t want to mash, play Jecht, because his brave strings suck without the just timing. Also third part of the string can be canceled with a HP atack so theres one more reason to do the just frame strings (well not really just frame, i think it`s like a 3-4 frame window).

Sorry for reviving this thread, i just wanted to ask if someone can share some RCed TK ensenga corner combos. I don`t know i just do TK ensenga rc, dash in K,D ensenga. I know there were some combos on the old Johnny tutorial vid for #R but couldn`t find it anywhere.

I`ll take that into consideration too. Thanks for the help.

Well i thought using it mainly for GG on ps3 and pc (i have read that it supports pc too), VF5 sometimes, and blazblue when it comes out for the consoles. That`s it i think.

I`m planning to buy a hrap3 stick. This is my first stick, and i wanna hear what do you guys think about it. Is it any good? I read somewhere that the hori buttons are not so good, and alot of people swap them with sanwa. Does it really matter for me since it`s my first stick? I will swap them too, but i`m planning to do that after the hori buttons die or something. Do you recommend any other mods for this stick? octagonal gate? I wanted to buy a hrap3:SA from akihabarashop but unfortunately my country is not supported by Paypal.

I`ve been playing alot with Jecht against my friend, i don`t know if anyone noticed but it seems like he has something like "just frames" on his circle strings? anyone else tried? i was really surprised to see something like that in this game.

Is the HRAP3 stick good for GGXX ? I`m going to finally buy a stick, and i don`t know which one, since i have 0 experience with sticks. Any advice?

A3 what pad do you use? regular ps2 dualshock or something else?
