I would like to get some critique of my Bridget on it's first day at a minor tournament setting. Note I know I still have a LONG way to go before even being decent, so hopefully this newbish play of mine doesn't bother anyone too much. http://www.justin.tv/b/striderzer0/b/268068543 0:11:00 (vs. Jam) 1:19:00 (vs. Pot) 1:46:00 (vs. another Pot....)

Let's see how far I can go with these guns and yo-yos.

I want to share my own experience with the losing streak mentality. Blazblue was my first foray into the competetive fighting game scene. Before that, I button mashed with various other fighters for shits and giggles without knowing a single basic concept on each games basics. With that said, I joined my first Blazblue tourney at around May 09 at a local arcade that I was surprised even existed. Back then I had only had maybe a total of 3 days worth of actual practice under my belt with my main Noel (and still main to this day). When the games started, I saw what my opponents were capable of and obviously I got my ass handed to me on a silver platter. It was a good thing I suppose. No pain no gain. I got progressivly better, even at hard times with CS at Jan 2010 where supposedly my main got nerfed to the point of 3rd worst character. Now recently, I got to play against the top people again. Granted I haven't played these guys since nearly a year ago, but I wanted to see if anything has changed since I started practicing. It didn't go well, I was still losing horribly, getting perfected at times, and possibly not being taken seriously during my games with them. What's worse, I was dropping combos that I knew I could pull off from the get go. Am I progressing at all in skill? Has nothing changed at all? Now upon reflection, I concluded at some point that my losses was not only because of expecting too much from myself, but also that somewhere deep down in my mind, I was intimidated at what I was up against. Can losing repeatedly aginst this kind of skill also create an inferiority complex in this game?

I'll be there at around 9.

Will maybe be there.

I could use some experience against Rachel, or any Noels to fight against my Rachel. From what I can observe, Optic barrel is fast enough to beat almost all of Rachel's lobelias. With wind I'm not sure who's projectile hits first.

Casual Thursday still going on for today?

Those cabs look like they take alot of space. Anyways, that's great news.

Hello, just picked up Bridget about 2 months ago after many attempts of trying to find mains. Started with Sol (too straightforward), then to May (I suck with charge moves), and various others. After practicing and looking up info/videos during those 2 months, I feel I can hold my own against other decent players and now I'm trying to take steps into Bridget's advanced gameplay. With that in mind, I have a few questions: 1) Are there any notable moves to FRC that are really crucial to her gameplay? Having only my local arcade to practice means no training mode and I can't see which moves are FRC-able. 2) What uses does 214K have? Besides swinging around randomly which I found pretty fun and addicting. 3) Can you get by without using the yo-yo "Come-Back" glitch?

I'll see if I can go tonight

Yo-yo skills must not regress

Anybody still need a teammate for Saturday? I'll be available to join a team.

Having just found out I have free time during the weekend, I'm thinking of going to this tourney to test how far I've gotten in this game. One question, is the Blazblue tourney a B.Y.O.C. type of event?

I might be able to go to this tournament, need a partner first though.

Is there any CS vids showing Satsukaishi's Noel? Seeing him/her rank 3rd on Game Chariot's ranbats has got me curious on how this Noel became top 3 on the charts.

Nope, hell they got rid of CT also.

Finally got a taste of CS after nearly 2 months of not being able to play. Anyways good games to everyone I played. Hope to put up more of a fight next time around.

Noel isn't in the position to be called terrible just yet imo. It's just that much of her stuff that would work in CT would either not work anymore or would need to add in something extra for it to work (ie. a bloom trigger combo can add in j.d>6d in its rotation from what I saw in a few vids). Along with some movelist swaps, more stuff should be discovered pretty soon. Anyways, I'm sticking with Noel for now with Bang as my alt. It's going to be fun learning a semi new character.

I shouldn't be sick for this tourney.

Unfortunately, could not make it to this tournament. Really sick at the moment. Hopefully someone else is wielding another pair of Bolverkr guns at the tourney.

For GG: Although I'm also one of those people that didn't notice anything wrong, I thought it was run smoothly and it didn't end in tragedy. Also, I need to stop relying on May's 6D? (the anchor smash of pain) I kinda felt like I cheesed my victories with that move. Anyways, I had great matches and learned a few things myself on how to play GG. Admittingly, learning how to bring out dolphins and the whale were among those. As for BB: Again, I had fun this tournament, as always. This tournament is so far the farthest I've been, and I hope to break that record next time. It was also pretty hilarious to hear commentary for each match whether I was in the arcade seat or a bystander. Thank you kro for saying that I got better at the game, I needed the encouragement since I was starting to feel like I was never to be on par with many of the pro players at the arcade after repeated matches that resulted in my Noel being locked down by pressure from various characters that night. edit: also, I agree with soniti, classes suck when you're tired as hell.......ZZZzzzZZ

LFG for BB teams.

As usual, today's tournament was both fun and a learning experience for me. GG's to everyone. P.S. Where the freak are the other Noel players? Does everyone hate her that much? P.S.S. I think I left my PS2 controller back at FFA , if anyone finds it let me know plz.

There was MBAA stuff at Friday?

Good games tonight, had lots of fun playing anyone that I was pitted against. Also, best Noel? I'm honored, although I feel my skill with Noel hasn't reached the level I want to yet (I'm still working on the 6C cancel loop), and that maybe I can ask the other Noel players that were present for some advice. P.S. Crimson was Tager I believe when he played against me. I don't think he played Taokaka this tournament.
