Yeah, seeing it ground slide is a bit...odd. Not like "girl from the exorcist spinning her head 360 degrees" odd, but a little weird nonetheless.

I'm learning the most ridiculous counterhit combos for Mu right now. It's funny because it always looks like it's going to fall apart at the last second, but it doesn't. Feels good, man.

Man, I feel like an idiot for not knowing Tsubaki's Astral had invincibility frames.
It really felt quite amazing when I beat a Jayoku with it the other day. :/

Should I be worried about CS2 Noel? Those 4k midscreen combo's scare me a bit.
Tsubaki's astral is one of the best reversals in the game. However, I found that out the hard way.

And probably, from the looks of it.

Oh well, at least Tao will be able to share the 4k, unless Arcsys decides to do more balance patches. :3
It's going to suck if I start dieing in two combos though.

You could always, well take her up yourself. I'm actually still worried about Arakune and how Makoto's going to wind up being to be frank.
Arakune must be the hardest character to balance. He's either end up terrible or godlike imo.
The issue I have with Makoto is that she hasn't really grown as a character. I'm not seeing anything new, and no one is really doing anything interesting with her. It's kinda disheartening, especially since there are so many people playing her now.

I would argue that Carl is harder to balance.
I agree about Makoto not really growing but I feel that way with all the characters. It's probably because I come from Guilty Gear but the characters in BB generally feel pretty limited. In GG you get meter a lot faster and there are several FRCs for each character which in turn gives you a lot more freedom to mix up and rush down.
For me, and I hope this isn't the case in CS2 but it probably will be, the only character I get excited to watch is Carl.

Carl has never been a problem to balance. Even when he had an infinite, he wasn't top tier.
But yeah, I agree with you about the FRCs.

Ah sorry PSN
*high fives* I beat baited and beat Jayoku with Bang's AH ^_^.
Arakune is always really good every game wtf.
What would you do to innovate with Makoto really? Simple character really.
Actually, CS (and CS2 somewhat) meter gain may be faster than GG. You can gain meter in more ways in GG, but note the HUGE meter gain that comes from combos. We're talking 35-50% from one combo. One BnB combo.
He was top tier in the end of CS2's lifespan. There really wasn't a reason for him not to be, even with the zoners dominating.
Cool, I added you.
Oh, I know it's true. But in every iteration of a rebalance, everyone thinks Arakune sucks, and then they're like, "Oh. Oh, I see." But yeah, my point was that Arakune will always be either really, really good. Or he could turn out really bad. But he never does. Funny.
But-but-but her drive is so cool! And Comet Cannon is so neat! And she has a parry!
...
I dunno, it doesn't really matter. It's just kinda disappointing, I guess. You know what I mean?
Ah, well, it's just a matter of semantics, but I always considered the zoners to be "top" tier, and Carl to be more like "high" tier. It doesn't really matter. He was and still is good, regardless of whatever we label him.
The end of CS2's lifespan? I'm confused.
Anyway, I'm completely addicted to Starcraft 2, and I don't have time for Blazblue. I'm really gonna suck when I start playing again.

Maybe sometime soon we could organize a room or something with a bunch of us, and have a few matches?
I've been getting pretty rusty myself. And it would be nice to play some other people that aren't my boyfriend for a change.

We should deff host online tournies biweekly or monthly and then make a ranking for swf members , that would be sooooo sweet.
we had a thing going the other night with derp and patriotic zero was mad cute <3
or weekly tournaments or weekend GROUP SESSIONS <3

I equate the problem more towards having impossible matchups both for him and against him as opposed to overall ranking. And just because they've done a good job balancing him so far doesn't mean that it's not a difficult thing to do. You could say the same thing about Arakune not being a problem to balance because he's never been the best in the game yet.
I'm really not sure why you're arguing this. The meter gain in any BB game is nowhere near what you gain in Guilty Gear. I suppose there are times when the meter gain could be faster (i.e. 2 turtles in GG compared to two rushdowners in BB) but for all practical comparisons it's not even close.
Fair enough.
Would any of you PSN people be free tonight or sometime tomorrow to play?

Ok, let's say we start a CS match, I'm Ragna or Litchi. I open right away and hit you with a bnb combo. That combo alone gets me about 45% meter, give or take about 5%. Does a meterless bnb give you that much in GG on its own?
It essentially depends on how the match plays out.

Yeah, I should be on tonight I think. Probably was gonna practice anyway.
I might be online tonight, but it all depends on how much Starcraft I play.

So what time should we be on? Also, who's starting the room? That way we're not all sitting there with open rooms inviting each other back and forth.

Yeah, that's probably good stuff to know. Also, I humorously forgot how bad the range on Makoto's throws are (that and what 'iad' refers to) since was playing against Sariku and the like, went THROUGH Lambda, lol.
Not me, because I will probably have to sleep before anyone else (Atlantic timezone), and my menus are in Japanese, so I don't have a clue how to invite anyone or set up the room.
As far as time goes, anytime after seven is good for me, though I imagine most of you probably won't be on until eight or nine. My time, anyway.

I'll start the room around 9:30 EST. Two rounds, winner stays, no unlimiteds, Final Destination
Sounds good to me.

Sure, whatever works.
I'll just say this for a short answer: Yes, it can.
Anyway, you're missing the point entirely from what I can see. I'm talking about the overall system of meter gain and use of the meter as well being much better in GG than in BB. You're basically focusing on one example and I don't even understand what your point is. So what if it is possible to get meter faster in BB sometimes? My point is also that there isn't as much to DO with your meter and that lowers the creative and offensive options a player has.
