The fact you can knock someone out of EX and Break em with an Assist alone is epic.

Well look at it this way, you have to be in hit-stun for EX Revenge to work. Spells and long range stuff that isn't dirt-obvious as an attack could hit you fast enough that you couldn't get a chance to activate it. I think you still take damage even if it is activated, so that means you could already be in Break state when it goes active, and me knowing how Mu-no-Kyouchi works, the minute you actually "start" a combo, the EX Gauge will only last until the combo ends, then it'll stop. Basically, if you finish a combo or start to do something with long startup after already hitting them, it's over. That probably means you only have time for one brave combo, or brave-HP combo. Here's a better way of explaining it...let's say you're getting comboed and activate EX Revenge: The gauge will slowly drain while time has stopped, this is how long you have to initiate any free hits, so you have to take advantage of it (unless you're too far away, then you're boned, Terra players can abuse that). Once you land an HP Attack, the mode will end regardless of how much time you had left. Same goes for Brave combos and Brave-HP combos....and like I said before, I don't know if Assists are allowed in this mode, or any benefits gained from EX Mode itself (such as Regen/Haste/Break Damage Limit etc)

Okay, let me get this straight...because of how broken EX Mode was in original Dissidia (it acted like a free burst into EX Burst combo), they modified the system in Duodecim. Brave Attacks boost your Assist Gauge which can then be used to create Assists in combos/offensive independent strikes (for rushdown cover etc), or to defend against oncoming attacks. If someone attacks your summoned Assist Character, this is called an Assist Break, you will not be able to use Assists for a time and all the Brave Points you had will be given to your opponent (same as BREAK state). This means that using Assists can be risky, or if you don't use Assists and your opponent does, it will create an opportunity. If you entered EX Mode, and your opponent successfully lands an Assist Attack on you. This is called EX Break, and will instantly knock you out of EX Mode and you enter BREAK state, giving your opponent your Brave Points. Likewise if you use EX Burst attack, you reduce the opponent's Assist Gauge to Zero. So using Assist characters as an anti-EX maneuver is also viable, making EX Mode just as risky (unless an EX Mode'd character attacks your Assist Character that is then you get hit with Assist Break). Lastly, if you have a full EX Gauge, and are suddenly getting combo'd by Brave Attacks or HP Attacks, activating EX Mode will constitute EX Revenge. EX Revenge stops time for the opponent and allows you to freely attack the opponent for as long as you have EX Force in the EX Gauge (similar to Samurai Showdown 5's Mu no Kyouchi). You cannot use EX Burst in this mode I don't think, I'm not sure if you benefit from EX Mode sub-abilities either. I don't know about Assists either.

Thanks for these, Solar.

I'm hyped for Hsienko if she's in. Still hoping more info for DLC comes.

Story Mode, but BBCS Art would be cool too (you did one of them already! Yay!) Also, some people might be interested in custom colors for Bururaji Sprite Art too, just suggesting.

Yeah, those hi-rez Story Mode arts that Circ posted a while ago. I did some the "hard" way a while ago: http://darkside-ky.deviantart.com/art/BB-CG-Recolor-Nu-13-155811138?q=gallery%3Adarkside-ky%2F12478879&qo=7 http://darkside-ky.deviantart.com/art/BB-CG-Recolor-Ragna-155810730?q=gallery%3Adarkside-ky%2F12478879&qo=9 http://darkside-ky.deviantart.com/art/BB-CG-Recolor-Hakumen-155810915?q=gallery%3Adarkside-ky%2F12478879&qo=8 BTW, here's my colors wishlist: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/Mimeblade/Blazblue/FavColors.png

Jump FESTA trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQOHfm4ZJvU&feature=related Yuna is Confirmed (Summoner Form thus far) Also, there seems to be several new areas...a Crystal Shrine, a Train (possibly the one from FF6!? or FF8), new summons (Famfrit I think), and something to do with the ability to stop time for an opponent (different from Ultimecia's ability).

Did another Ars commission recently: http://darkside-ky.deviantart.com/art/Commission-Time-Ars-Magus-191000361

Question: will this work on the Story-Mode images? Like Ragna in action pose or Jin in action pose or Haku-men?

All I care about is Create-A-Soul...it better have more stuff (read: sexy wimmens' outfits) than ever.

Red, eh? Perfect for Christmas!

Just seems rather stiff animation, like Hokuto no Ken and Sengoku Basara were...

You better watch out (he'll show you the meaning of battle) You better not die (give it everything and you might live a little longer) You better not be Evil, I'm warning you why... Or you'll get burned in the FIRES of DESTRUCTION He's making a list... He'll slash you more than twice... Depending on if you're naughty or nice... You'll get burned in the FIRES of DESTRUCTION He sees you when not looking... He's always been awake (for over 100 years)... He'll seal away all evil so, Be good for your well-being's Sake... Oh, You better run away You better not try You best not be Evil, I'm warning you why... The White Void says the END has COME FOR YOU!!

Hey guys, I'm getting caught in Tager's 5D guardstrings...I backdash x N but it doesn't get me anywhere, he keeps throwing out 5D to keep my close and magnetized or hit with 5D again to reset the process...help me escape, please.

FF5: They might give us a curveball with Krile. FF6: My vote goes to Shadow+Interceptor...that's my hope. FF9: Amaranth/Vivi/Eiko/Dagger/Steiner are all possible..Vivi's less likely due to his system being too similar to Shantotto's though I think. Steiner/Beatrix's movelists are way to similar to Cloud's I think. FF10: Yuna+Dresspheres would be epic. FF11: Hmm...Promathia? I know people say that the game's not out yet, but Versus 13 has already had some production time...so they may have locked in his movelist by now. He could serve as a promotion character too, you never know.

My last few matches with DJ_Blastricity proved to me I am totally incapable of using 6C properly as he punished me each and every time. Not only that, but 623A keeps wiffing crouchers...so I'd like some suggestions on what to do on block that's "safe". I'm apparently not good at 5C>IAD j.D crossup...so I'm looking for other mixups and stuff that puts me in range instead of being pushed away or open to punishment. Primarily I can't get close enough to Jin mirrors or Bang cuz they barrier me out. Most importantly, I have issues with being "too predictable"...I'd like help with that especially.

Famitsu rumor mill says new characters will only be SNES on up (but don't necessarily include SNES) (10 max)... Basically that rules out new characters for FF1, FF2, and FF3. Near as I can tell... FF4 (Kain), FF5 (?), FF6 (?) FF7 (Tifa), FF8 (Laguna), FF9 (?) FF10 (rumored to be Yuna?), FF11 (?), FF12(Vaan) FF13 (Lightning) I know what people have said, regarding FF production, but...I still hope for Noctis showing up as Lightning's nemesis.

Pinky: Gee Brayn wot r we gunna du tonoit? Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky, TRY TO TROLL BLADE!!

What more is beyond cyberpedophilia?

I don't think they translated that EVER, so if you're trying to get Daisuke's process, maybe we can make a thread for it or something in Zepp.

You people...no...this thread is twisted.

Quoting myself for lulz.
