But the hose goes into his head, not where that handle is, so that can't be it.

Those videos are hillarious though "I feel a tingly sensation in my naughty bits" xD

I seriously need to know what that's for.

It's been bugging me for a while now.

 

[Gates]

Tager's a cyborg, so that's probably like his data monitoring antennae or something. Kokonoe has mentioned a couple times that she can measure stuff like blood pressure.

Noel means Christmas in french

just saying

 

[LivewiresXe]

That tier list is insane. It's like BB is giving us a Christmas present. Though, only bad thing is it's come a bit after I've started experimenting with using Makoto and Jin, so now I'm going to look like a tierhog or tier....you know what.

Yeah, I should have picked up on that.

Dude, don't worry about looking like a tier *****. Seriously. If you don't want to be a tier *****, use Tager since he'll probably never be top tier at this rate.

I've said time and time again that the best way to pick a main is to find a character who best fits your playstyle. If Makoto or Jin fit your playstyle, keep playing them and ignore what everyone else says.

 

[Pikaville]

I literally never think of tiers when I select a character in video games.

I literally pick the most badass looking character usually, if that character is not to my liking, I pick the next most badass.

Hakumen/Arakune, Bison/Akuma, Heihachi/Yoshimitsu, Nightmare/Siegfried, Eddie/Slayer were all my chosen characters using this technique.

It just usually somehow works out that their play style always suits me well.

I think being comfortable using your character>>>>>>character choice itself.

Discuss I guess?

 

[Jam Stunna]

Litchi from second best to third worst? Yup, Arc System balancing at its best.

 

[Minato]

Merry Christmas everyone!

Do you guys have much problems with Hakumen or is it just my friends?

It's probably just your friends. I find him easy to get around with after a few matches with a Hakumen player in order to know his pattern.
Then again, everyone has their own personal worst matchup. Mine was Noel back in CT... lol

Platinum low tier? Why do the things I love become low tier? Oh well, doesn't bother me.

I'd say B's still pretty good. She's a solid character and she doesn't have huge weaknesses.
The only problem she has is that she doesn't have a huge damaging midscreen BnB at the moment. But that goes for a lot of the cast.

I think you're thinking too much about it. No one's going to care if you want to use characters that are looking to be pretty good.
And if they do care and complain, it's their fault for not learning the matchup.

 

[Espy Rose]

The thing on Tager's neck is a small computer. They mention it in BBCT early on in the story. It provides useful information for him during his missions, and I believe it also feeds him new information sent by Kokonoe.

And that new tier list made me so excited. I'm so happy to see Tager at the bottom.
I can't wait to play this new game.

And Litchi! Litchi at the bottom! And Tao's not any better either!!

Merry Christmas to me!

Oh, and I'm with Raziek: I doubt Makoto is BETTER than Arakune, based on the videos I've seen. She is stupid good, though.

Oh, and I LOVE to fight Hakumen. Grabbing a Hakumen is one of the most satisfying things I can ever do in this game.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah, you've got a point Minato. Besides, us getting our day in the sun is good enough for me.

From JBBS.

S++ - Makoto
S - Jin, Noel, Arakune
A - Rachel, Hazama, Tsubaki, Carl, Lambda
B - Hakumen, Platinum, Tao, Ragna, Valk, Mu
C - Litchi, Bang, Tager


Makoto is the new Nu!

Makoto is new Bang is more like it when you look at character playstyle and ease of entry.

Litchi from second best to third worst? Yup, Arc System balancing at its best.

From best rather. Bang had actual weaknesses , Litchi did not, and outside of Dnails and FRKZ, outclassed him.

Regardless it's still early in the games lifespan. I've never even played the game of course, but I'm surprised Tao isn't higher. Everything else outside of a certain thing looks expected though.

That thing....LOL TAGER. HURRDURR NOTIN BUT BUFFS FOR TWO GAMES STILL LOW TIER weeee. But if C is the worst, it's probably not so bad. My character is fun to play, but BB is still probably pretty bad sadly, but it def looks better.

Never thought I'd be so happy to see blue exclamation points in my life.

 

[Sukai]

Makoto still has bad range, the main reason she's so good now is because everyone is in CS1 mode, where defense wasn't as important. Once they find the holes in her strings and resets, l2footies and barrier correctly, she won't be so much of a threat, she'll still be damn good, just not broken.

 

[Scamp]

First of all, come on guys, this list is the earliest of early tier lists. No need to overreact as it's certainly going to change.


Litchi doesn't have any weaknesses in CS? What game are you playing? Did you mean to say no bad matchups?


Sukai while there may be things that have yet to be discovered Makoto isn't so much different than her previous version as far as I can tell. The Japanese scene is exceptionally good at finding holes, barrier guarding and the like. You make it sound like they've never played with her before.

Anyway I think the consensus for right now is like Bang tier in CS. Not broken, but darn good.

Not saying they never played her, I'm saying that with CS' new system changes, Makoto is harder to deal with what with the IB changes and air unblockable normals and stuff. The main thing with CSII is that it rewards successful offense and puts more emphasis on a better defense and footsies, with good defense and footsies, Makoto shouldn't be so much of a threat, however still a force to be reckoned with.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Merry Christmas blazbluebros!

looking forward to playing many of you in the coming year, no hakumens allowed

lol

Do you guys have much problems with Hakumen or is it just my friends?

Also does Tager have a sword in the back of his neck?

I'm buying this game for myself tomorrow, on the 360 though

My brother (X the Derp) uses Hakumen and it's a gay matchup. All I can say is learn to block a lot. Remember that you can cancel your run into barrier block (not regular block) and run up --> barrier block is your best friend. His pressure will eventually wear off when he runs out of meter or gets pushed too far away. Be patient too, neither of you actually hitting each other and flying around the world isn't necessarily a bad thing, so don't recklessly chase after him. To quote Isai, "Don't jump into the ****."

I literally busted out laughing reading this.

lol @ C tier

(this is CS1 right? Ya Im stupid)

 

[Gates]

I just thought of something.

Noel means Christmas in french

So is that why she's been so historically ineffectual in combat?

(this is CS1 right? Ya Im stupid)

Nope, CS2. You can tell because Platinum is on it.

 

[Lore]

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Awesome pic! Noel and the tiny Kokonoe look really cute!

Merry Christmas, guys! I ended up getting a tv, Kindle, Starcraft 2, and some other assorted goodies, lol.

Blazblue looks really nice in HD. :3

 

[Pitzer]

Btw, Aside from Hazama still being good. Anyone else see the last episode of PSG? I was Mind ****ed.

 

[Wave⁂]

Man, I feel so bad for Panty. And lots of confusion everywhere else. Can't wait for the next episode.

EDIT: ****, I just found out episode 13 was yesterday.

 

[Gates]

Both of the last two episodes of PSG have been mind****s.

 

[Lythium]

You guys know that there is a PSG topic in Media Metropolis, right?

Oh yeah, of course ;p.

Is there a (little bit recent) tier list for CS1 as well somewhere?

 

[Lythium]

Once all of these holiday shenanigans are over with, I'll have to start practicing again. :I

This is probably the closest you'll get.

It was released around the same time Valkenhayn came out, so he's not on there.

 

[Kuraudo]

I'm excited to get my hands on the new Ragna. As well as playing the new Noel. She may become my secondary.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I'm excited to get my hands on the new Ragna too. I can't stand how Ragna plays atm.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Lythium]

All derpy and whatnot?

 

[Smooth Criminal]

More or less.

Hell, I'm hoping this patch/DLC/WHATEVER brings enough changes to the game where I can actually get behind a character. So far I'm having very little success in this regard. seeing as how I've played everybody in the cast a handful of times at least. And, unlike my Midnight Carnival days, I'm really not enjoying playing every single character in the game.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Espy Rose]

I'm with you on the "not enjoying" characters thing.
Everyone but Tager and Tao, I can't stand.
So boring.

 

[Kuraudo]

Jin (in my noob non-combo'ing ice car spamming days) was my first main in CT. And then when I legitimately tried semi-sorta, I went to Noel. And then Ragna. I've stuck with Ragna since in CS.

In CS I try to mix up his derp BnB combo'ing as best as I can. XD Like, I'll do a combo and the like, but when I'm ending in Inferno Divider, after the second hit I'll rapid cancel into Belial Edge because it looks so cool. XD That and it's different.

 

[Espy Rose]

My favorite thing to do with Tager is Gadget Finger to a elbow drop from a jump (don't know the lingo that well...2c from the air?)

Funniest thing to ever land on a person.

...what happened to your purple text?

[LivewiresXe]

Am I the only one who randomly semi-feels less inclined to play CS1 with the knowledge of Super Noel being imminent and finding Nerf Noel depressing?

Smooth Criminal

Mrs. Brisby convinced me to change the font color.

 

[DaiAndOh]

Nope. Except my knowledge is my character becoming more fun despite sucking and that the game is slightly better in general, though it's not saying that much...

 

[LivewiresXe]

Hm, maybe so, but it's kinda bothersome that I just randomly had my urge to play diminish like that.
