[FrozenFire13]

I should have beat Zeton....dammit I'm still upset about that. One good hit and I had the win. I really wanted to play Anther...

Also, I need to learn to let things go, lol.

 

[Bonehimer]

Wanna thank Mduo for driving us there. The way back was the best with all the hills and cows.

 

[~GregDang!~]

Mduo drove all the way to Texas to get you. Man, I'm sure he made bank driving all the way down there to get you Bone. Hope all of you who went down to get Bone didn't come back with Swine Flu.

Heck yes!! i made all of those guys riding with me pay $50 just for gas, so yea i made a ton of money on this trip!

btw there are a LOT of cows to be tipped in Texas, along with a ton of hills that are awesome and feel like a roller coaster (unless of course your sick... haha)

along with a town full of... i think a population of 209 (zash? correct me if im wrong). and all of them had TRUCKS, not only trucks, but they were parked in their front yard, they all were loaded with cash obviously....


ok enough of the jokes, ill see if i cant do shoutouts sometime this week >_>

 

[Blank Mauser]

Blazblue actually isnt that good from what I've seen and heard. The comparison I've got is that it's the Brawl to the Melee that is Guilty Gear.

I don't know about that. From what I've seen and heard its just a little more reckless than GG.

Like for one the combos can be really long, especially air combos. Proration makes those combos do like almost nothing towards the middle or so though, and with tension gauges rising so fast from them its like its pretty much better to end your combo early then to let your opponent get tension and combo you back.

Another thing I've noticed is that pressure strings seem to be safer with like every character. Every character has a good block string and rush down. I guess its okay because the new defense options added like counter. I think the tech system is kind of cool, but can allow for some crazy stuff like Litchi's shenanigans when left out of control.

Really I think its like BB takes the whole universal options thing GG did but farther. Probably a little less thought-out and easier than GG but not necessarily the Brawl of GG yet, just different. Though Litchi looks kind of Metaknight broken.

I can't decide on the characters. They don't hold a candle to GG's awesome cast, but if GG didn't exist and I had nothing to compare BB too I'd probably say some of them are pretty likable. Music is dece too, Catus Carnival ftw.

So Kahoka was fun stuff guys. Only bad thing was that Razor was a party pooper and didn't let us play the nico douga medley this time.

EDIT: NO, DON'T SPEED UP! *Has nightmares*

 

[JBM falcon08]

bolt yes lain is the one who beat me at fcd, then i ***** him the following day it was pretty awesome.

i am pretty good

 

[~GregDang!~]

JBM, I'm sorry I cannot attend the Smashfest this weekend. I probably won't be seen much this month because of several Family Issues that have risen since Friday.

Happy Smashing guys. I'll try and get on and post if I can.

 

[animeblitzballa33]

Which one is Litchi, and who is the chick with the 2 guns or whatever, those are pretty ballin.

Other players kind of ate it though.

Noel Vermillion is the chick you speak of.

u forgot the confederate flag with the skull on it on some guy's front yard. i was like "can u even have that?" i mean im pretty sure that u cant do that.

Really I think its like BB takes the whole universal options thing GG did but farther. Probably a little less thought-out and easier than GG but not necessarily the Brawl of GG yet. Though Litchi looks kind of Metaknight broken...

i really think that Litchi is overestimated right now. i mean she is pretty good but i wouldnt state her as metaknight broken yet. the music is gonna be just like GG in BB cause of the heavy metal BGM. also Under Heaven Destruction is where its at, take that Taokaka theme.

 

[animeblitzballa33]

I didnt get to watch the vid cause it loaded like 10 sec. in like 5 min. But it sounds like she ***** that other cast of chars. I think I will start out maining Vermillion and see how that goes, she seems interesting. Also that Ky wannabe looks like he could be gay with his ice shinanigans.

Yeah I think Litchi is kind of overestimated too. Her little staff trips/punishments and super safe pokes just kind of mess people up, not metaknight broken though but still a really good char.

Other than that v13 is turning out better than I expected. I guess her traps just take some creativity.

 

[Kudou-kun]

here are all of the characters in Blazblue and their bio.


Ragna the Bloodedge (voiced by Tomokazu Sugita)

Height: 185 cm
Weight: 78 kg
Blood type: B
Gender: Male
Origin: Unknown
Hobby: Cooking

The almighty force managing the “Operation”, in order to obtain absolute power over the world, is this man who has rebelled against the “Novus Orbis Librarium Armagus”. Known as the “God of Death”, a bounty for his elimination has been placed in all the regions populated with branches of the Librarium. Ragna is said to be a reincarnation of the Black Beast, and also posesses the Azure Grimoire, a powerful form of Armagus, thus leading others to be after not just his bounty, but his grimoire as well. Ragna’s heterochromia is revealed in Rachel’s ending, which suggests that both of his eyes were green until Rachel bit him, causing one of them to turn red. He is also said to be “blood brothers” with Jin, although he refuses to forgive him for the way he made the inside of his left arm, which currently appears to be mechanical instead of having the usual bones inside it. In game, his tactics revolve around using his power and large sword to keep pressure on his opponents. His Drive Ability is known as Soul Eater, which is used to absorb the opponents life.

Jin Kisaragi (voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara)

From a prestigious family, this man is a retainer of the Librarium’s Kisaragi house. His class is Major. In the past, he had a distinguished military record during the “Ikaruga Civil War” that broke out, and was promoted to the position of Division Commander at an exceptionally young age. He is always cool and calm, though he is a deeply jealous, ambitious, and possessive person, with little care for others. He treats other people like a nuisance, with the exception of Ragna, who is said to be his “blood brother”. His Drive Ability is known as Frost Bite, which specializes in freezing opponents.

Noel Vermillion (voiced by Kanako Kondou)

Height: 157 cm
Weight: 48 kg
Blood type: A

Hobby: Writing Poems

Because of her outstanding combat ability and suitable operation evaluations, she was selected to be Jin Kisaragi’s direct subordinate in her youth. The two were acquaintances in the Military Academy, though Noel thought Jin was extremely weak. However, on a certain mission handed down from the Librarium, her preconceptions were changed. She is actually ? -12-, the predecessor of v -13- (both of them are Ark-Enemy units), although she doesn’t remember it. During the Ikaruga Civil War, she was found amidst the burning fields of Ikaruga, where she was rescued, after which she was adopted by her parents of the Vermillion family.

He was brought back from the brink of death at the hands of the scientist “Kokonoe” and revived as a cyborg, and is currently assigned to a combat unit under the direct control of Kokonoe. He seems to be pursuing Ragna, though his goals are entirely unclear. He is also shown to be working with Litchi Faye Ling, and apparently also knows about Arakune. His Drive Ability is Volttech Battler, which specializes in using electricity and magnetism so he can grab his enemies.

Carl Clover (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro)

A young boy wearing a top hat who fights using a large mechanical maid puppet named Nirvana, an Ark-Enemy unit whom he refers to as his sister. He was once a student at the Military Academy alongside Jin and Noel, but he mysteriously dropped out while the other two graduated. Then, having heard of the bounty on Ragna’s head, Carl decided to become a vigilante and go after his bounty on his own, with help from Nirvana. His Drive Ability is Auto Maton, which controls Nirvana.

Rachel Alucard (voiced by Kana Ueda)

Height: 145 cm
Weight: 31 kg
Blood type: Unknown

Origin: Transylvania
Hobby: Tea

She carries a cat-shaped umbrella called Nago and fights using a chubby, red bat familiar called Gii. She slipped out of her castle in search of fun because she hates to be bored.

She left her village in search of someone called Ragna after she heard that you could gain a lot of money for defeating him. She doesn’t know it, but she is a descendant of bio-weapons created from one of the six heroes, Jyuubei. Her Drive Ability is known as Dancing Edge: Reckless Kitty, which specializes at dashing at high speeds with a slash attack.

Bang Shishigami (voiced by Tsuyoshi Koyama)

Height: 192 cm
Weight: 105 kg
Blood type: B
Gender: Male
Origin: The Far East
Hobby: Unknown

A ninja-turned superhero, Bang has dedicated his life to exterminating evil and overturning injustice wherever he goes. The scar on his face was given to him by Jin, whom he would like to get back at for that exact fact. His Drive Ability is Burning Heart, which places emblems for every fire punch he lands on his opponent. When four of them are replaced, he can then use his Distortion Drive, “Fuurinkazan”, which gives him enhanced speed and strength, although he cannot block.

Arakune (voiced by Takashi Hikida)

Height: 20-200 cm
Weight: 5-1000 kg
Blood type: Unknown
Gender: Unknown
Origin: Unknown
Hobby: Unknown

Once a man named Han who worked alongside Tager and Litchi, Arakune is an occult being that is constantly seeking knowledge. Its body consists of a mask-like face and an amorphous black and red body, which houses innumerable insects. Currently, it lives under the streets of Kagutsuchi. Because it needs to absorb large amounts of life force to continue its existence, it frequently attacks those of the Kaka tribe and humans alike. It also keeps a diary that it writes what has gone on during its life. Recently, it has sensed the presence of a being with unheard levels of life force, which has caused it to stir - namely, a certain “God of Death” possessing the Azure Grimoire. Its Drive Ability is Crimson, which curses the opponent to where several flying insects will attack him/her.

Litchi Faye Ling (voiced by Chiaki Takahashi)

Height: 170 cm
Weight: 58 kg
Blood type: AB
Gender: Female
Origin: Shanghai, China
Hobby: Mahjong

A doctor in the oriental part of Kagutsuchi. Apparently, she is vital to the town because of her profession and her knack for sensing others’ needs. She is a subordinate of the scientist Kokonoe alongside Tager, and is currently chasing after Arakune, determined to put an end to his life if neither she nor her fellow subordinates of Kokonoe can change him back to normal. Her Drive Ability is Mantenbou, which manipulates her staff into attacking opponents by itself.

Haku-Men (BOSS)

Haku-Men is a samurai-like cyborg/robot who resembles Justice from Guilty Gear. Haku-Men was one of the six heroes who battled against and defeated the Black Beast. Afterwords, he was locked away in the area where the Sheol Gate was located beneath the grounds of the area. Haku-Men follows a code of honor, and says that his sword will purify the world of sin and vanquish that which is evil. Haku-Men is also regarded by v -13- as a SUSANOOH unit. When defeated as the sub-boss in Arcade Mode, he is suddenly called back by his master, Grimalkin, all the while being angry with his master for interrupting him in the middle of his battle. Unlike every other character, Haku-Men does not possess a standard Heat Gauge. It is instead replaced by a unique gauge that gradually stores up to eight orbs, which are then used in varying amounts for his specials and Distortion Drives. His Drive ability, Zanshin, involves counter attacks.

V -13-

A Mecha Musume who lives at the Sheol Gate. Her name is pronounced as “Nu”. She is an Ark-Enemy unit with a personality that is split between a stoic battle android programmed to terminate hostile subjects and a sweet, pure, and innocent girl (the latter of which takes over when she’s around Ragna). v -13- also seems to have a crush on Ragna the Bloodedge - which explains why she acts so strange when she’s around him (as said before). She even kills him in his ending, and says that if Ragna dies, then so will she, and says that she wants for her and Ragna to be together forever, and destroy “this terrible, awful excuse for a world” as she calls Earth together with him. Noel Vermillion’s story also reveals that Noel herself is ? -12-, v -13-’s predecessor, which explains why they look very much alike, although Noel forgets who she is by the time she gets to her successor. In Haku-Men’s story, he fights v -13- as the sub-boss before fighting Ragna; it is there that she is unable to scan him and recognizes him as a SUSANOOH unit. Her story mainly revolves around beating up and terminating all hostile subjects in her way, where she faces Taokaka as the sub-boss and then Rachel as the final boss, after which her ending shows her consciousness wondering where Ragna is. Her Drive ability, Sword Summoner, revolves around attacking opponents with sword-like projectiles.

[FrozenFire13]

btw there are a LOT of cows to be tipped in Texas, along with a ton of hills that are awesome and feel like a roller coaster (unless of course your sick... haha)

I swear, every time I see a cow, I'm gonna think of Bone and just start laughing. Also, the town had a population of 310. And yes, there was a truck parked in almost every front yard. It seemed like a horror ride with the roller coaster affect and the roundabout LOL. Epic car ride ftw.

[Blank Mauser]

Virtual On was released for Xbox Live Arcade!? I used to **** at that game I need a 360 now...

I will MM anybody at this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnGtUP0yLwc&feature=channel_page

Edit: Kudou, I need to ask. What is this K-ON! show all about? I found out the girls surnames are named after Sawao and Yoshiaki, dude The Pillows are my favorite band. O.O

 

[Kudou-kun]

here is the plot summary to K-ON!

Adaption of Kakifly's Seinen Yonkoma manga series K-ON! (pronounced “kei on”). The story about four high school girls that try to sustain their school’s popular music club despite being unable to read music or play instruments has been serialized in Manga Time Kirara magazine since 2007.

It's Yui Hirasawa's first year in high school, and she's eagerly searching for a club to join. At the same time, Ritsu Tainaka, a drummer, and her friend Mio Akiyama, a bass player, are desperately trying to save the school's light music club, which is about to be disbanded due to lack of members. They manage to recruit Tsumugi Kotobuki to play the keyboard, meaning they only need one more member to get the club running again. Yui joins, thinking it will be an easy experience for her to play the castanets, the only instrument she knows. However, the other members think their new addition is actually a guitar prodigy...

its a pretty good anime, i like it quite a bit \(^o^)/. all of the moe is just too great.

the ending song Don't say ''lazy'' is really popular since its all over Nico with a lot of differnent covers. this song is just everywhere on Nico and i like it \(^o^)/

 

[Blank Mauser]

Is it just random moe, or does it reference good music a lot too?

 

[Kudou-kun]

well its a little bit of both i think. either way, its one of the higher rated anime for this season and personally i like it

 

[The Real Inferno]

I dont know why but whenever I come to this topic the number of pages breaks

 

[animeblitzballa33]

I think that had something to do with tyser getting banned awhile back. One of his accounts got banned and after that the pages went all sorts a weird.

 

[FrozenFire13]

Tyser ****s things up even after he gets banned. Only Tyser, lol.

 

[Kudou-kun]
