The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

Cool astral. I wish I understood what he was saying. Relius looking pretty interesting imo.

So, I guess H.H is at the loketest, and he was explaining how Mu's charged 214D works:

You hold D, the entire startup completes, then habakiri becomes active instantly after you let go of the button, but Mu is stuck in the startup animation with her arms thrown back while delaying it.

:3c

Konan won SBO.

Considering four Lambdas qualified, I'm not really surprised that one of them made it to top 8. I am surprised that not more Makotos did though, especially Goro. Also, Tetsu didn't make it?

edit:

1. Konan (Tsubaki)
2. Takahashi or R-1, whatever he goes by these days (Noel)

Top 4: Dora (Bang), R-2 (Noel)
Top 6: Doritosu (Makoto), Yoshiki (Lambda)
Top 8: Galileo (Litchi), Senchou (Valk)

Respectable, reserved Noel lost. Mashy R-1 is a grand finalist. Welp.

Lol, hey Takahashi/HighTower/R-1 was around first, so I'd imagine he'd do better.


Edit: That's a funky Astral. Though oddly enough the main thing I noticed in the video were the 2 Ragna chicks.

 

[Lythium]

Haha, it was "HighBridge."

And I dunno, I mean there's no doubting that R-1 is really good, I just like R-2 a lot more. I like how he handles the character, in terms of where and how he uses a variety of his tools. I'm not disappointed about R-1, moreso, I'm just disappointed that R-2 didn't get farther.

 

[arturefo]

just found some matches of you,lyth,and raziek on youtube.good matches.your tsubaki is great.shame that you lost to that gaudeo guy.his jin's awesome.

 

[Lythium]

Haha, oh jeez.

That Gaudeo guy is my bf, and yeah, his Jin is pretty good.

I kinda miss playing Tsubaki, she's fun.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

For a minute there I thought "habakiri" was "harakiri."

XD

I can't believe a Tsubaki won SBO. Good ****, though.

[Zajice]

I've been at Rachel's lvl2 top combos for like 2 hours today.

****ing ****.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Haha, oh jeez.

That Gaudeo guy is my bf, and yeah, his Jin is pretty good.

I kinda miss playing Tsubaki, she's fun.

That had me SO confused for a minute because I was like "Lythium's PSN has become it's own person?".

Respectable, reserved Noel lost. Mashy R-1 is a grand finalist. Welp.

YEAAAH GALILEO WHOOOO!! <3<3<3 Tsubaki winning and Lambda/Bang placing also proves just how balanced this game is :D.

No Rachel makes me sad though... why isn't this aoniku guy playing anymore and why aren't there any vids of his Rachel ;_;

I've been at Rachel's lvl2 top combos for like 2 hours today.

****ing ****.

Good luck. I took me AGES to pull it off consistently. I danced when I found out it was able to do without much trouble.

 

[Lythium]

I was under the impression that Aoniku hasn't played since CT.

 

[arturefo]

Haha, oh jeez.

That Gaudeo guy is my bf, and yeah, his Jin is pretty good.

yeah.i'm terrible with her,but it is so fun to watch someone playing tsubaki.

 

[Lythium]

That had me SO confused for a minute because I was like "Lythium's PSN has become it's own person?".

Haha, we share.

yeah.i'm terrible with her,but it is so fun to watch someone playing tsubaki.

Man, I'm watching some of those matches. My Mu was so bad. And my Makoto is so scrubby.

Haha, oh well.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Nah, bad would be watching me try Jin/Hakumen, or randomly flail with Makoto.

 

[Lythium]

I dunno, man, I dunno.

 

[Spelt]

I'm sad there's not more loketest information. :/

 

[Lythium]

People are still going nuts over Konan winning SBO, so I imagine there will be info soon once the hype dies down.

The only change I've seen so far is that Tager's sledge follow-up has more untechable time and can now be used in corner combos.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I dunno, man, I dunno.

I'll show you online sometime. Not pretty, lol.

 

[Spelt]

Not too hyped about SBO.
But it's nice that another non S-tier character won a large tournament.
BB repping that awesome balance.

 

[Gates]

People are still going nuts over Konan winning SBO

That's because nobody saw it coming.

(That was a Tsubaki joke)

 

[Lythium]

OH JEEZ.

I'll show you online sometime. Not pretty, lol.

Haha, okay! I'll play my terribad Lambda with you. :3c

Yeah, I agree. I was pretty pleased with the results. Top 8 was pretty evenly spread out. Was surprised that wasn't even one Tao though.

 

[Spelt]

Still sad not even one rachel qualified though. :1

Also Lambda has to be better than those arcadia tier lists have been putting her as.
There's no way that many qualifying is just a coincidence.

 

[Lythium]

I know what you mean. ;-;

I guess H.H almost qualified with Mu at the last-minute qualifiers, but he played against Isa, and kept dropping combos on Makoto's janky hitbox.

And Lambda's only one spot below Tsubaki on the tier list.

 

[Spelt]

A Mu would've been cool too.

Yeah but that's only like mid tier.
And the only character who had more qualifiers than lambda was Makoto ... but maybe Lambda is just REALLY over-popular or something, lol.

 

[Lythium]

Next year is gonna be all lolis and yandere robots.

Well, I mean, Lambda's not super amazing, so it makes sense. But she is really popular in Japan... so, who knows? Despite there being lots of Lambda players, the only one that I usually see is Tsukasa.

 

[Spelt]

All high level japanese lambda's I see never fail to impress me.
Every video I see they're always doing something new or creative that makes me go "whoa".
I wish it was the same way for other characters.

 

[Rutger]

Yeah, I agree. I was pretty pleased with the results. Top 8 was pretty evenly spread out. Was surprised that wasn't even one Tao though.

Tao not making it into top 8 surprised me too, but I also don't know anything about the(two?) Taos that made it in. :/

It's a little dissapointing after a Tao won the last SBO though.

I totally agree with you there. And then I'm like man, I didn't even Lambda could do stuff like that. She's got a cool metagame for sure.

Tao not making it into top 8 surprised me too, but I also don't know anything about the(two?) Taos that made it in. :/

It's a little dissapointing after a Tao won the last SBO though.

Yeah, but didn't that Tao switch to Makoto?

I think Izayoi plays at a-cho a lot, so if you look at their YT vids, you should definitely see him. He plays the pink colour, I think.

 

[Gates]

There's also the fact that many Lambda players played her in CS1 and Nu in CT. That accounts for a lot.

 

[Meru.]

I was under the impression that Aoniku hasn't played since CT.

I'm not sure how this points system works at the arcades, but at most Japanese videos you can see PSR: (number) at the bottom of the screen. The higher the number, the 'better' the player is supposed to be, it's a kind of leaderboards. I am told that Aoniku is first (by far!) with a PSR of 304, but that he doesn't play anymore, and there aren't any vids of his CS2 Rachel.

 

[Spelt]

...We know what PSR is.

 

[Meru.]

...We know what PSR is.

...Congratulations?

It's for those who didn't know or hadn't noticed.

 

[Pitzer]

After some time.

 

[arturefo]

im playing at the xbl now.if someone wants to joinme,be free.

 

[Lythium]

Nice stick, PTZR.

I've heard that too, but I've also heard rumours of a bug or something in the NESiCA system, which accidentally awarded him a bunch of extra PSR. So, unless we ever see vids of this guy, who knows?

 

[Spelt]

I want extra PSR. ;_;

 

[Lythium]

I never play ranked, so I don't even think I have a PSR.

LOOKIN' SO FRAY.

 

[Spelt]

My PSR is terrible. :|
I am super free.

 

[arturefo]

my psr is not good too.but i dont care that much about it.

 

[Spelt]

I care mostly because i've had good people be paired against me before and they end up taking me as a complete joke and just trolling me during the first round.

 

[Minato]

I did ranked probably 30 matches at best on the PS3. None whatsoever on 360 so far.
I really should just to get more matchup experience though. I just hate dealing with lag.
