The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

[Jam Stunna]

Nothing concrete. However, I've posted before that I think the only reason mu-12 is being included now is because the arcade release was cracked, and her inclusion as a console-only character is supposed to encourage us to buy the game.

So with that in mind, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they just slapped together a moveset without actually balancing her.

EDIT- Found an article that discusses this stuff (not necessarily whether she'll be balanced or not though)

[Gates]

I seriously doubt they would be that reckless and stupid to not balance a character at all.

One would think

 

[Gates]

I don't play GG, but I'm pretty sure Eddie's not that broken either.

 

[Lythium]

Jam, I know you think Eddie is broken, but I disagree. Eddie is so hard to play that I'd give props to anyone who can do it, and do it well.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I was just joking, I like taking cheap shots at Eddie

 

[Lythium]

 

[Minato]

Mu-12 being tourney legal could also depend on the TOs since some people like to follow the ruleset that's available for the arcade, or if it's not even a console tourney to begin with.

And I hate Eddie. He's too good...

 

[Lythium]

They'll probably patch the arcade version.

 

[Yuna-Maria]

I've never played against a good Eddie. When I played Guilty Gear, all the best players I knew used assorted mid-tier and low-tier characters. The best player in the state at the time was a Johnny main. He was also my mentor, so I mained Johnny as well.

Anyway, on the subject of Mu, I hope that tournament organizers will be tactful in their analysis of the character. A ban should only be enforced if Mu is as least as powerful as Super Street Fighter II Turbo's Gouki. If Mu is not actually a boss-tier overpowered character, then a ban would be frivolous and stupid.

I agree. And if Mu does become overpowered and banned... That'll mean she's pretty much stronger than Calamity Trigger Rachel and Nu.
That's quite a scary thought.

And I do hope they add patches to the arcade version and even the console version.
It'll make the purchase for CS even better.

 

[Sukai]

I heared from Aksys that they speculate Mu to be mid tier primarily because of her learning curve.
When you're throwing around lasers and mirrors, I suppose that is something that won't be autopilot-everything-is-jump-cancellable.

 

[Gates]

Mu's drive just reminds me of Strider's Ouroboros. I wonder if she has a special move where she creates rocks and drones on the screen too so that she can get the rest of that team locked up.

 

[Lythium]

I'm pretty sure most people have seen this match-up chart already, but I thought I'd post it anyway because it's pretty:

Discuss!

 

[Thino]

still future Lambda main here , Idc if she dropped some spots on tier list , I know her swords are still BS

I wonder if online will be full of Bangs and Litchis , but meh I bet it will be still Ragnas , Noels , Jins

 

[Lythium]

I bet online will still be full of Ragna and Jin for sure. And apparently Noel's normals are much worse in CS, so you can look forward to even more drive-spammy Noels online.

 

[Minato]

I didn't know Tager was considered that low.
It thought he got enough buffs to make him place higher.

And good to know that Rachel has some even matchups. XD

 

[Lythium]

Yeah, I would've thought Tager was going to be higher as well, but at least Hakumen got a decent bump up the list.

 

[Jam Stunna]

I wouldn't count on seeing tons of Litchis online, her bnbs get ***** by lag.

And wow poor Rachel

 

[CRASHiC]

Figures that bang would **** Lamb-chan. He went even with her before she got nerfed. and Lol at Arakune still getting ****ed over by her.

 

[Gates]

Some things just never change. Arakune just has a hard time getting in against characters who can summon swords. Now it's kind of worse though since he can't get a 1-hit curse once he does get in.

 

[Sukai]

I'm still wondering why Arakune is slightly advantageous vs Carl.
Noel I can understand, but not Carl.

 

[ZMan]

tager is good but he is too fat, and that's where the problems start. if he had potemkin's ground pound from ggac he'd be better imo

It is very good.

So, we got some SBO qualifiers going down in Japan.

It seems I got to be a fan of this rather late in the game. It's nice to find a thread for this though, maybe I can actually learn some useful things here.

All I know is that apperantly I always go for the low-tier characters. No matter what the game, if I like a character they're immediatly low-tier.

 

[Lythium]

Oh gosh! It's Moon!

And Noel's distinctly mid-tier.

 

[Moon of the Strawberries]

I know, it's amazing. I actually left the Pool Room for once in my life.

The key word there is 'distinclty'. Which means she's still rather low in terms of everybody else. That, and nobody treats her seriously because of her drive. Or, at least the people I live near.

 

[Thino]

Bangs and Litchis owning it up at SBO and holy **** that Tao player is good at burst reading/baiting or w/e its called

Haha, that's because her drive is silly. And online players spam it a lot.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

I'm so happy that Hakumayne got bumped up~

 

[Pikaville]

Quick question.Are you talking about the newest version of BB?

That match up chart has 2 extra characters on it so Im guseeing so.

So you guys got the new game ALREADY?!

Calamity trigger only came out here 3-4 weeks ago!

Also Arakune is **** in CT.The curse is just.......sickening.

What kind of buffs did Hakumen get in the new game?(I main him and Arakune)

 

[Sukai]

Well, Hakumen's j2c was changed to j2a.
His jc was changed to j2c.
He has a new jc, a horizontal sword swipe, it knocks down.
His 6a no longer has head invulnerability, but it is still air unblockable and he can't be grabbed doing it. It's also a bit slower.
His 6b changed from a low to an over head and you can't combo from it. You can cancel it into a d attack however.
His magatama meter changed in design, you get less meter from IBing, but more from taking and dealing damage.

If any of his C attacks (or j2a) hit a projectiles, a huge barrier shows up for a limited time, it absorbs all projectiles and deals damage if an opponent runs into it.

He has a new 4c attack, it's a mid screen fast poke, barely combo-able on counter hit.

Current tier position: High/A tier

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

He's got more reward for cutting projectiles? Nice.

 

[Minato]

Yes, we do, but not officially on consoles yet. All this data, tiers, matchups have been gathered ever since the arcade release of last year.

 

[Lythium]

It's so close, and yet, so far.

 

[Moon of the Strawberries]

All I know is that i'll be happy if any game is released for the PC, I don't have enough money as of now to invest in a PS3 or XBox 360. It's hard to love a game where you have to constantly go over a friend's house just to play.

 

[Thino]

CT is still planned for PC releasesometimes in June right?
