I've never actually blogged before, so this will be a new experience.
Random things I've wanted to discuss; Blazblue, and SSBB's online communities, specifically referencing the "Patch BB" and "Ban MK" arguments.
Copypasta from a post I made on www.dustloop.com forums:
---------------------------------------------------------
I laugh at how terrible the BB community is.
A patch? lolbull****. It's the same **** SSBB gets regarding Metaknight.
Every game has its good, and bad characters. That's just how it is. I'm not sure how the online community is for other fighters, but the competitive fighters I have met in person acknowledge, and accept that certain characters are better than others.
BB is no different than any other fighter, or any other GAME for that matter that certain characters/etc are better than others. The difference between BB, and games, such as Melee, Brawl, or MvC2 as examples, are that despite BB having low/mid tier characters, they aren't obsoleted by the higher tier players.
In Melee, Brawl, and MvC2, at a high level of play, a lower tier character will NEVER win a tournament. The player may be able to out-play a lesser player, or beat a player who may even be more skillful, but less knowledgeable about certain match ups, or gimmicks, and pull off a surprise win or two.
BB, GG, SF, etc doesn't have this problem. Characters have their good, and bad match ups, but it's much more manageable. (I will admit that Tager vs Arakune is super dumb.), but it's nowhere on the level as a top tier team, vs even a mid tier team in MVC2, or even Sheik vs Pikachu in Melee, where it's neigh unwinnable, unless the player using the lower tier character/team/etc is much more skilled.
At a high level of play (SBO, the later brackets of events like EVO, etc) it all comes down to individual player skill. In that aspect, most 2d fighters, BB included are BALANCED. Bad, and good match ups at a high level of play either become "SOFT" counters, or disappear outright.
In this regard, the BB community seems to be just as dumb as the SSBB community.
"OMFG PATCH THIS."
"OMFG BAN METAKNIGHT."
Using that logic, you may as well remove every character, except one, or give every character the same moveset.
If you're looking for the utmost balance, that's the only way you're going to achieve it. Otherwise, you need to man up and accept that characters have their inherent strengths, and weaknesses.
BB is not a broken game, nor does it have characters that are broken by nature. There isn't a **** thing that should be patched. All the community should do is continue to improve, whilst eagerly awaiting a sequel.
Also; Don't attempt to discredit me using my post count, or experience level. Logic is logic.
-------------------------------------------------------
Not much to summarize this. I'm growing tired of the terrible communities BB, and Brawl, two great games have. I'm friends with a number a great, and exceptional players from a plethora of various games, fighters, and otherwise, and it seems like the better players have learned to accept certain aspects of these games, such as certain characters, builds, etc just being outright better than others, whilst scrubby, lesser players constantly bicker, and whine over anything that puts them, and their lower tier characters at a disadvantage, which better players who play the SAME character managed to overcome, and place well at high-level tournaments.
------------------------------------
Ranting aside; I also wanted to discuss music.
I'm into a plethora of different genres. Progressive metal, Power metal, Black metal, Death metal.
Progressive Trance, Psychedelic Trance, GOA Trance, and the various sects of the Hardcore genres.
Recently I've been getting into Freeform Hardcore, and was turned onto a PHENOMENAL album "Wise Up Get Stupid" by Eggz. Not even three tracks into the album, let alone 48, out of the total 69 of the three-cd mix and I'm sold. The biggest pleasure I receive from Freeform is the energy in the tracks.

Wide Awake - Betwixt and Between
Not a track from the aforementioned album, but the song that introduced me to the genre, and is still my favorite track to date, and single handedly inspired me to begin to create combo videos for Super Smash Bros Melee

"Wide Awake"
Multi-Character combo video for Melee, named after the track used for the video. Used mostly to gain experience in video editing. The video overall received positive feed back, as well as receiving a TON of exceptional, and helpful critique. Plus it's always nice to receive positive comments from people as well known as Forward, or Eggz. <3
I don't actually expect people to read my unstructured rants, but regardless, it gives someone to do when there isn't anyone around to share, or understand your thoughts.
I might post more blogs overtime. I'm not sure.
In closing: The patch BB, and ban MK communities are all dumdums. Get better. Realize that the games you play, and the characters you play, and play against aren't broken. Sure, they're better than the rest of the cast, but that doesn't warrent a ban. Using that logic, we may as well ban Fox from Melee. Oh wait, now Marth/Sheik are the best characters. Let's ban them too!
Using the logic used for patching BB, or banning MK would become a vicious circle until there would be only a single playable character, which is also the only way to create real "balance."
The other would be to just create a single character, and move set, then simply re-skin/color that character until you have a character roster.
Peace. <3
