I've noticed as well that even though I love playing with Litchi, I'm not really that enthusiastic about the game overall anymore. Maybe that'll change when CS is released.

ill add you.

 

[Dy17]

you guys probably arent that into it anymore because the small character roster. everyone uses jin and ragna.

 

[Sukai]

Arksys are notorious for having a low light under their games.
Hyped? No, but I'm still totally into the game and I've been following every CS Arakune video and Tsubaki.

Are you kidding? We're definitely into it. We just have other stuff in life to attend to.

Looking forward to CS, but Noel's current "downgrade" and Rachel's utter destruction didn't seem at all necessary.

I'm just saying this since I like the two, lol.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ Rachel's been nerf that bad?! I know she can deal a lot of damage if you know how to use her on CT, but still it's not like she's easy to use. )= ☆

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Yup, for the most part, according to matches and Dustloop, sadly.

Minato told me once that out of this:

========================

when Rachel does a nice 23 hit combo, It only takes off this:

=== or ====

her dmg output in CS does not do her justice. I'll still be playing her and my 2nd, though, like CT. It's almost as if to be top with her, you have to be busting something like Mike Z, :\.

 

[Sukai]

Sucks for Rachel players, but a top level Rachel in CT was seriously too good.
Not really excusable though.

 

[Lythium]

It's certainly not excusable that they made the game ridiculously imbalanced for the whole cast, let alone Rachel.

 

[CRASHiC]

Is the game truly imbalanced? I thought just Rachel was the problem. What changed?

 

[Dy17]

well...im not a big fan of rachel anyway. like all the rachel users have the same combos as if they all went to youtube. they should give bang more kunai for the american release and let his forward and circle hit short people on 4th hit. it sucks having a 10 or 14 hit combo that only works on hakumen tager and ragna.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

You should look into how the CS matchups go.

Giving Bang more kunai is pretty much more of a death wish to other players than the norm, since, as of right now, Bang is top in CS.

 

[Sukai]

It's certainly not excusable that they made the game ridiculously imbalanced for the whole cast, let alone Rachel.

What are you talking about?
The game is more balanced, much more balanced.

Even with Rachel's major ner***e, the game is more balanced.

Have you seen Matsu in action?
If you haven't, keep and eye out for him, great CS Rachel, and inspiration even.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

OH! Just realized that you were the one who upload those vids of Matsu, haha.

One of the treasures for CS Rachel. Truly something to look at.

 

[CRASHiC]

Can I get a link to that video? I only found CT videos.

 

[Sukai]

Yeah.

Here's another one. Not Matsu, but another good Rachel, although he lost...

Run around my channel, there are quite a few good Rachels winning matches.

[Octave]

Is Hazama supposed to be bad? He looks so ****** but seems like he's overall not a good character. Whereas Tsubaki looks like raep. Are there tentative tier lists for CS?

Edit: Oh and the new announcer is ****ing annoying.

 

[CRASHiC]

the last tenative list basically said that no one knows what to do with Hazama yet but they are pretty sure that Tsubaki is low tier.

 

[Sukai]

Last list I saw showed Hazama at Upper-Mid tier, Tsubaki is low.

 

[ChaosKnight]

Rachel seems ALOT about control i like that :D


rushdown seems dead for her obviously ><

 

[Octave]

Ah I haven't really heard much about CS since it came out. How does Arakune rate? I mained him when I was all about CT for a while.

 

[Sukai]

He's mid tier (for) now.

He's been doing better and better and bringing in damage substantially higher than his CT counter part doing 7.5-9k combos average.

Allow me to rephrase. Blazblue may be more balanced as a whole, but its new imbalances are more egregious and difficult to overcome in my opinion.

Arakune's 100+ hit combo, Tao's stupid-easy taunt combo, how underpowered the new characters are, how the tiers have virtually become more divided (in my opinion). I could go on, but I'm trying to reserve most of judgment until I play the game myself.

 

[Gates]

Won't damage scaling make a 100 hit combo do trivial amounts of damage towards the end of it?

 

[Octave]

Yeah, this video shows it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqwO7n2INCc#t=3m32s

and its like a 125 hit combo. By the end this guy does two supers (forget what they're called in this game, exactly) and they do infinitesimal damage.

 

[Gates]

160 hits and I don't really see how it's that big a deal since it doesn't seem like something you could do outside of the corner and Arakune has a corner trap in CT anyway. This one is actually harder since he has to get them fully cursed too unlike in CT where you could do a 1 hit curse and juggle with D bug and y.two-dash. It wasn't that many hits but it was still a big damage combo.

Frankly, I was more impressed overall with Lambda in that video. Mid-Low tier huh?

EDIT: I saw the combo at the end too. That is awesome, but I still don't think he's unbalanced.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ Did anyone made any Smooth Criminal jokes about Hazama? XD ☆

 

[Gates]

Only about everyone, Viper.

 

[Sukai]

Arakune is perfectly balanced.
The curse mode **** well better be worth it for all the hell he has to go through to get curse in at all now.

Seriously if you think he's still imbalanced, play a seasoned CT Arakune main, you'll be begging for CS Arakune all day.

Oh and Gates, that combo can be done outside a corner too.

 

[Gates]

Yeah, from the second combo in that match I saw. He still has his old corner trap too so maybe I will keep using him in CS.

 

[Sukai]

CS Arakune all day bro.

 

[SonicZeroX]

Don't worry Hazama can still kick *** with 6-7k unburstable drive combos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maPzHHPAf4M&feature=channel

 

[Jam Stunna]

Ragna combos are so whack

 

[Sukai]

I'd take a Ragna combo over a Bang combo any day.

 

[Minato]

Ragna's pretty nice. His new move (Berial Edge?) was a nice addition for him.
Ragna's probably going to be my backup, but if possible, it's going to be Rachel all day still for me.

 

[Lythium]

I'm playing Ragna right now for the lulz.

EDIT: Ragna's colours suck.

Arakune, the new Makoto? AKA, guess twice and win the match.

 

[Sukai]

Or Jin's the new Ivan Ooze. AKA, doesn't block.
