The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

[Lythium]

Started a room on PSN, let me know if you guys are interested.

And yes, it will be one of those rare instances where you may play against my boyfriend at some point.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Ah crap, I might be on sometime later. I'm in the middle of ME2 right now, but I may just have to check it out.

 

[Lythium]

Good games, guys. I'm really sorry that I was playing so badly though.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Weird, I checked my PSN thing and it didn't show more than maybe one person on, so I figured it got called off. My bad.

 

[Lythium]

It was just myself and my brother for a while, then he signed off, and Werekill and Minato signed on.

It was just the three of us. And my boyfriend, the lurking Ragna.

 

[Minato]

GGs, Lythium and Werekill. I had to help set up dinner and stuff so I didn't have time to do more matches.

 

[Lore]

GGs guys! I was doing decent, even though I'm really rusty. I still kept losing to Lythium's Ragna no matter how well I did, lol.

My stick was acting up for a while, for some reason. It would randomly drop quarter rolls and randomly act like I pressed all the buttons. >_<

 

[Lythium]

That was my boyfriend's Ragna, just so you know.

 

[Lore]

That was my boyfriend's Ragna, just so you know.

...

Well then, just tell him that I was being easy on him because I thought that he was a girl. ^_^

 

[Turazrok]

I would play with you guys except I can't do Hazama's BnB

 

[LivewiresXe]

It's alright, I can't either. Which is why I don't play him.

 

[Pitzer]

Not knowing Hazama's One BnB is bad for you xD

 

[Turazrok]

Not knowing Hazama's One BnB is bad for you xD

I can do like... Half of it.

Starting with 3C.

To like
5B or C

 

[Lythium]

You should probably practice it.

 

[Pitzer]

I can do like... Half of it.

Starting with 3C.

To like
5B or C

5B, 3C, 214D > C, 5C, 2C, 4D > A, 4D > D, J.cx5, J.cx5, 214 D

 

[Lythium]

Once, you get to the j.C[x5], you can just mash.

Seriously.

 

[LivewiresXe]

The most I can ever get up to without landing is 4, I think. And isn't there a land somewhere in the middle of that?

 

[Lythium]

I don't believe so.

But I could be wrong, I don't know a thing about Hazama.

 

[Pitzer]

Depends on which moves you used on the ground and makes it easier to tech if you prorate your moves. Like using five jabs then combo. they can tech after the first 3 hits. of J.cx5

 

[Minato]

The most I can ever get up to without landing is 4, I think. And isn't there a land somewhere in the middle of that?

That's for a different variation of Hazama's combo. One is a lower combo where you can land after j.Cxn and the other just involves double jumping and doing j.C again. The one PTZR posted doesn't involve Hazama landing.

 

[OFY]

learn hazama's bnb off a 5a midair, then your golden

 

[LivewiresXe]

I would but, I don't really plan on playing/learning Hazama to be honest. He's just not my style. Not like my Jin/Makoto secondaries seem to be.

 

[Lythium]

I thought about playing Hazama when he was first mentioned for release, but I didn't like the way he moved at all.

Oh well, I guess I could start trolling people with Platinum or something. For the kicks.

 

[OFY]

Anyone know any good sites that sell sanwa parts for fight sticks?

I'm gonna pimp out my stick before that cs2 release cheaaa

ps: not lizardlick

 

[Lythium]

Well, Lizardlick was gonna be the first one I'd recommend.

Hmm...

I was gonna say try Modchipman, but it looks like their site is down right now.

SRK's Tech Talk?

 

[Minato]

There's this site http://www.akihabarashop.jp/

Also, I was bored and ended up finishing Hazama's challenges. Last one was really fun to do.
I kinda want to finish all the challenges for each character now, but I don't know which one I should finish next.

 

[Lythium]

Which ones have you done so far?

 

[epic of DE]

Sorry for popping up randomly to correct a combo:

For the finisher after the 2 sets of jCx to perform the kick that sends the opponent to the ground it is 214B, this is used to tack on the extra...like 20 damage and not allow the opponent to recover in the air.

Also for basic Haz. : make use of all of hazama's stance attacks...each have their own purpose...I call them the smack, flash, and scoop...

214D > A =Fast overhead that if hitting a crouching opponent can allow 2A > 2B > 3C...depending on the range

214D > B=Normally called his flash kick, very fast, decent invinc., somewhat safe when blocked, and counter hit can allow 4D to different options from that (Note that the charged aka blue version has fatal counter properties),

214D > C=The low hitting BnB starter to 5C and his combos...don't get to used to that after CS2...

214D > D=Stance cancel, no real attack purpose except avoid commiting to an attack that might get you punished and to bait eager Dp users...like ragna the derpedge

This is some advice that a Jin mainer can offer in regard to hazama...though it would be smarter to try the haz. challenges to get the basic idea of his playstyle...then go to dustloop and watch some high level hazama play. Search "jourdal" on youtube to find a plethora of Blazblue matches from japan including BBCS2...

Oh and I'm an X-boxer that generally tries to do some online on fridays if rooms aren't flooded with litchis and 1 connection matches.

 

[Minato]

Which ones have you done so far?

I've completed Hazama, Tsubaki, Makoto, Jin, and Mu. I have one or two missing on Ragna's, Rachel, and Noel.

I might try doing Litchi's and Tager since I have no clue how their moves work, and they're my two least favorite matchups in the game.

 

[Lythium]

DE, I can add your tag to the first post, if you like. Just lemme know.

Minato, I'm so impressed. I hated challenge mode, so I literally have done nothing with it at all. I would do the unfinished ones first imo, just so they're done. You might as well finish Ragna's and Noel's, because they're probably easy-ish. And yeah, I agree with you there; learning about characters' moves and combos really helps you out in a matchup.

I made my boyfriend play Tager for a bit, so I could practice the matchup. He didn't like it.

Why not Lizardlick? I'm curious, lol.

By the way, has it been confirmed yet that CS2 is a patch and not a separate game?

 

[Raziek]

There's almost no way CS2 would be a separate game. I just can't see how it would make any sense. It's a balance patch with one new character and no other new content. (Except maybe Unlimited Wars? idfk) That's not worthy of a new game.

 

[Lythium]

It's a separate game presented as a patch.

AFAIK.

 

[Raziek]

Sounds right to me.

As far as I'm concerned, the only reason they're calling it "CS2" is because they needed to release new arcade machines for it.

 

[Darky-Sama]

Well, is it going to be a free patch? Lets face it, releasing another part of the story and a new character (unless it's just being halfassed) sounds pretty silly unless it's on a whole different disc.

inb4 $20 DLC that boots from the original CS disc. lol

 

[Lythium]

Theoretically, CS2 is free, but Platinum is not. And you're forgetting about the balancing and changes to system mechanics.

No one has really said anything official concerning cost.

 

[DaiAndOh]

I think for $15ish you'll get CS2 balancing, Platinum, arcade modes for the DLC characters, maybe a gallery/online feature improvement/more gallery etc.

For closer to $25 you get the above+Valk, Mu, and Makoto.

Not actually true or anything, just prediction.

 

[Wave⁂]

Having to pay for a balance patch is like paying for a bug fix.

 

[Espy Rose]

I play challenge mode. It's too friggin' easy.
I've done everyone's except for the DLC characters.

 

[Raziek]

No?

Bug fixes are ERRORS.

Balance patches are additional development to IMPROVE a working, functional game.

Fixing a problem =/= improving something that isn't broken.
