Fixed, and you do that in any fighter. Same, and just caught up in One Piece so sad now but it was fucking good, onward to bleach/assassins creed/BB (netplay).

I wish dustloop had a thumbs up feature like srk. In the meantime, this'll have to suffice

Starting to get negative about this game. Guess I'll start looking into Valk as my sub from now on. He's consistently good in this game at least... Not that I'm assuming all these changes will stay, but I feel he's going to suck again and I'm going to miss csex. Even as he's "top tier" he's not some unstoppable force that can be auto piloted to win. It's easy to get an idea of where your character is headed as loketests go on, especially when they were really good in the previous version of the game. Though I'm sure people will say hakumen is stupid good, but whatever.

First loketests don't mean shit. At this point I'm sure they're aware what tools hakumen needs to be viable. I am curious to see how agito works along with kishin though.

Hipster

I doubt I'll be able to attend, but we'll see.

Theoretically his guard crush would cost 2 stars since that's 25% of his meter.

lol

It's part of the hype train, its a normal thing on dustloop.

Probably, I'm expecting another cs2/ct version of hakumen. Everytime they try to "change the way he plays" they fuck it up. Though I'm hoping by now they realize by now hakumen is either really strong and really w3eak. Whenever he's weak no one plays him, whenever he's strong character loyalists stick with him more. What?

Hakumen is just doing 5c there.

WAYYY better than BB's gold burst system. Gold bursts mechanic in GG was perfect, they weren't mindless and must be well thought out. yes there are draw backs to using a Gold Burst in BB, but nowhere as bad as GG. if you gold burst in GG you're risking at least a round in a match to get a chance to burst again. And even then, if it does work and you have full tension, there's no guarantee you have a true advantage over your opponent if they're skilled if not more skilled than you. BB, you still have all your primers, if it's blocked your opponent has to block your pressure since they can't punish it. The only improvement they made to gold burst (for me as a hakumen main) is reduce the invincibility after gold bursting to allow hakumens counters to catch you, which was impossible to do before.

GG's gold burst system is shitty? BB's gold burst system? lol half joke there, I just really hate the system. Epsecially when they could've used GG's system. But yea the game doesn't qualify for a truly kusoge title. Knew that too lol, I used to lurk dustloop hard back in my AC days

The very fact that you could just basically throw them out at close combat and you were unable to be punished for it made them dumb. They're invincibility was/is insane, and on top of that they're plus on block, meaning even if you even managed sort of to bait them, you're forced to block in a situation where normally your opponent should be blocking. It's like a free dp that's safe on block. stale, somewhat, but a good design. I was just watching ct matches and realized how far the game has come. Shitty games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thol1fzNT3U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuLZEp30J6U These are games in Japan that aren't played by most top players, and instead of very small cul followings. the reason Jap players don't play these games is because they're largely imbalanced and full of tons of abusable mechanics, and as you saw in the videos, tons of infinite TOD combos. MVC2 was considered to be in that category in Japan and somewhat umvc3 as well. Kusoru is known for his kusoge games for example Every version of the game gets better, i don't see why this one would be any different, unless you mean "man I hope my main isn't ass this time around", then you have reason to worry

As loketests go on take them more and more seriously, however at the beginning take nothing seriously, except new moves/gatlings. Loketests are just that, tests. Remember in cs1's loketests hakumen got a mach dash? That didn't stick.

I know that most of these changes won't stick, so I'll just ask what does agito look like, and is that really the name?

True, but he has a lot of normals and it doesn't help that BB has a 4 button layout either.

When developers make moves in fg's you want it to be easily understood for players without having to think much. In other words, have you all noticed that moves that involve hakumen using his upper body/fists are all motions+A, A=Jab/Punch, all of his specials that use his lower body are motions +B, B=the kick button, and finally C for all slashes and C=slashing normals. So I bleive this new move will be some sort of upper body attack. Though I could be wrong.

In all honesty st1ckbug this happens with every version of the game. It's best to allow this thread to remain so that is doesn't spread to other forums where we have threads named "Amane is Fabulous", which leads to banning of users for weeks on end until the game is released. You'll only make your life harder by closing this thread, and other mods. Besides what else are they supposed to talk about at this point, besides their hype/emerged homosexuality for Amane? it's not killing anybody, unless it becomes a flame-war of which case, temp-ban some users, but don't close this thread.

it wouldn't work out well for characters who are meter dependant as Hakumen, it already costs half his max magatama collection to perform a DD at the end of a combo let alone an ex one which'll cost 5 or 5 matagama no? You want to implement practical mechanics in games, something like that wouldn't work for him, and I can imagine others being the same case as hakumen. Also if you want to quote me, just click the reply button, rather than highlighting and copying it to your post. he's always sounded like a villain.

... As long as it's still an overhead.

Those are the EX moves people are talking about. It refers to unique special moves that vary from character to character, it is present in Guilty Gear and works the similar to the EX moves of KOF. And welcome to the Dustloop forums

As long as it's still an overhead.

Where is this Blazblue EX priced at $59.99 coming from? The game was $39.99 and its previous version was free. A fully priced game is $59.99 not $39.99, and SF4 did the same thing.

CT 6b's properties were bad (not an overhead and just a REALLY slow low). I hope that's not the case, I don't know why you'd be excited for that Nolan... Yukikaze yes, leaves you closer to your opponent. And it's prettier, hakumen glows nigh transparent blue energy when it gets activated. Didn't see anything with Shippu. His new artwork looks boss, let's just hope he won't be like his ct/cs2 iterations. EDIT: 6a looks like it does immense damage, maybe its just me though. And Shippu sends people flying away like Carnage Scissor.
