The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

[LivewiresXe]

Uh. I can play in about 30-ish minutes?

All right, I'll probably be on around 10-15 after 8.


And thanks for clearing that rule thing up, Lythium.

 

[Crusayer]

Gonna be honest here.

THANK GOD THAT'S OVER. I am not gonna touch CS2 until Extend comes out.

GGs Livewire. I won't ever have to deal with noel doing 4k off a random 2D ever again. Ugh.

 

[Lythium]

I know that feel, bro.

Who won, by the way?

 

[Crusayer]

I did.

2-3, 3-2.

 

[Lythium]

Congrats!

Good Games man, congrats.


And I won't have to deal with "Oh crap I meant to do a 5B poke, not 6B!! 6k CORNER CARRY ORB OKI?!!!" stuff from Makoto again. I'm not gonna lie though, I legit thought I had you on like 5 different occasions and then I went to do my "half-charge, then go 63214D to reverse TK 4D" bait thing, and accidentally j.4D'd and I was like "well...THAT'S not good".

It's really funny because I won the first 2 matches of set 1, then he won the last 2 before I won match 5a and took that 3-2 and re-set the bracket, then he won the first 2 of set 2, I won the next 2, and he won the last 1 to win match 5b and take that set 3-2. Hell, it even happened with the last game that way since he won the first round, I won the 2nd, and he won the third. Like, holy cripes were those close. I REALLY have to work on countering people's air-throws though. ESPECIALLY since lately when I don't have another 50 meter to do a 2nd Fenrir, I've been following up my Fenrir corner combo enders with an air throw for a good extra few hundred.

Ah, just came up short. Good stuff though, Crusayer. You really have improved a LOT since CS1, so you should be proud of yourself.

 

[Lythium]

Thanks to everyone who took part in the PS3 tournament, and congrats to all.

I have the results here, for anyone interested.

Spoiler

1. Crusayer
2. LivewiresXe
3. Lythium
4. Kuraudo
5. Rutger
5. Raziek
7. Thino
7. Werekill
9. Ryker

The tournament thread also has the completed bracket, in case anyone wants to look at it.

Now to finish that 360 tournament. :3

 

[Crusayer]

Those grabs shouldn't ever EVER work lol.

I'm just bad at grab escaping.

Please don't devolve yourself to abusing netplay tactics :x.

And I'm not sure that we even played each other in netplay for CS1 lol.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I think it was like 2 months or so before CS2 came out or something, I'm not entirely sure. And yeah, they shouldn't work, and in CSX, they won't. However, midscreen Spring Raid combos and Assault Through corner combos (insert fanfare music here) WILL work.

And thanks for updating the brackets and the results, Lythi. Man, it's weird, I thought I'd get my butt kicked by at least half of the people I played. Self esteem boost for the win? lol

 

[Lythium]

Haha, just wait until you play me irl at MAD.

NO RESPECT. :3

 

[Crusayer]

A tournament just isn't a tournament without Minato to wreck everyone!

</3

 

[Lythium]

Well, tell Minato to get his butt to Montreal in April, because I'm going in hard. :3c

 

[LivewiresXe]

Haha, just wait until you play me irl at MAD.

NO RESPECT. :3

You can't disrespect me, if I disrespect you first, haha.


And going in hard, Lythi? Is there something you're not telling us?

 

[Crusayer]

>Going in hard
>Minato's butt

hm.

 

[Lythium]

Penetrating. So deep. So hard. So mean. >:I

 

[LivewiresXe]

Poor Minato's going to hop onto check the thread and be like "wtf is this? I don't even...".

 

[Crusayer]

His Ragna will be sure to enjoy that nice flippy thing into his face~

 

[Lythium]

Nice postbits, by the way.

 

[F8AL]

It's a good thing I quoted that, Lythy.

And thanks!

 

[Rutger]

5th place? Werekill's DQ got me further than I would have expected.

Oh well, eleven more days till I play top tiers. :3

 

[LivewiresXe]

Postbits? Quoting? Did I miss something?

 

[F8AL]

Postbits? Quoting? Did I miss something?

Look at my sig.

And you placed 2nd in the PS3 side of the tournament.

 

[Jdietz43]

Pre-sign me up for the next ones, K?

*bounces up and down with joy*

(I swear... talking about Blazblue gives me waaay to much energy)

 

[LivewiresXe]

Look at my sig.

And you placed 2nd in the PS3 side of the tournament.

Haha, nicely done. Though, I swear there's like 5 people with sigs that are Lythi quotes.

Also, yeah I know. Shocking that I made top 5, I know.


Edit: Oh, right. I actually forgot what postbits meant for a second.

 

[Minato]

Those grabs shouldn't ever EVER work lol.

I'm just bad at grab escaping.

I was kinda bad at throw teching because of abusing barrier teching in CT. Just do what I did to fix it, record the dummy doing grabs at different intervals and practice teching them. Once it's too easy, fight Carl on Hell difficulty. lol

A tournament just isn't a tournament without Minato to wreck everyone!

</3

I honestly think people are overestimating me and just screw up against me. XD
Although I think I'm playing smarter now. Using Ragna more sure helped me improve.

Well, tell Minato to get his butt to Montreal in April, because I'm going in hard. :3c

Poor Minato's going to hop onto check the thread and be like "wtf is this? I don't even...".

Pretty much. lol

Anyways, congrats to top 3. Seems like GFs was really close.

I'll enter the PS3 Extend tourney when that ever happens. Might go Ragna, but I might try using someone else I'm planning on picking up...

 

[LivewiresXe]

Wait...are you going wolfman on us?

 

[Crusayer]

He'll go makoto on us!

Wait wut.

Man, I remember back when there was some kind of movement in this thread that everyone was gonna play makoto. But then everyone went to Noel >:O

 

[Spelt]

Thus is the life of a blazblue player.

That or Ragna.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I admit, I always thought everybody's love of Ice Car would make it so everybody would be Ragna or Jin.

 

[Kuraudo]

Exclusively Ragna right here. I'll at least get the 360 version. Not sure about the PS3 version though.

[EDIT]

Hey, Crusayer. We should have an offline best of 7 set in Extend when it comes out. Title shot for your gold Light House medal. If I win, I get it. .....if F8AL would switch it over, that is.

idk how it works. And idc if it can't be done. We're still having a hype set of friendlies.

 

[Crusayer]

Well you better get that time off on the 24th then. Lol.

(IE: The coming friday = host day and Extend isn't out yet, skip a week, 24th is the next hosting day).


$10 MM if we do play on the 24th.

Oh you are so on. Still best of 7, but $10? So down. That or loser buys Dairy Queen for the victor. Whatever we decide to do.

But yeah I'll book that time off no sweat.

 

[Jdietz43]

Now I want to know how I fare against the regulars around the lighthouse... am I at a good level? Will I be crushed? Am I actually amazing? WHO KNOWS!?

Exciting stuff lol

 

[Minato]

Wait...are you going wolfman on us?

Nope, I'm not really interested in Valk. There are actually 3 characters I'm thinking about, and they're characters I don't really know how to use.

It'll be a little laggy, but you can play me tomorrow/Saturday for a little bit. My ID and Tag should be on the front page of this thread and on the tourney thread. I might not buy Extend on the 360 for quite awhile, so if you're not getting Extend for PS3, might as well play me now before the 14th.

 

[Crusayer]

You're a PS3 main? I always thought you originally played on the 360 :V.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I thought he played on the 360 only because his PS3 crashed.

And ones you don't know how to play? Oh lordy, if you go Tager...

 

[Jdietz43]

Sorry, while I technically have CS2 for the PS3 I don't have the DLC characters, and therefore also don't have my main. Since I bought the JP copy on PS3 back when the states had no US release date I also don't have access to the store for it. It's one of the reasons I was hype for Extend, it meant I could be truly multi-platform again.

I could derp against you with terribad Mu/Bang/Litchi if you wanted though. I've got nothing going on. Just don't expect the world if we do lol, I barely even know the CS2 combos for those backups. It'd be a good test of basics I guess though.

 

[Crusayer]

If he plays tager, he effectively counterpicks half the people in this thread \o/.

 

[Minato]

You're a PS3 main? I always thought you originally played on the 360 :V.

It really depends. Some games I had to get on 360 even though I wanted to get it on PS3. But now my PS3 seems to work fine.

And ones you don't know how to play? Oh lordy, if you go Tager...

It's not Tager. I might as well say it since it's not like I'm really hiding it. lol
I'm thinking about going either Hakumen, Mu, or Relius. Ragna will be backup when I'm in losers or something.

I sometimes have fun with slower characters/grapplers but Tager never really appealed to me, imo.
If I'm going to use a "slow" character in BB, it would probably be Arakune.

 

[Jdietz43]

Arakune you say? Funny that... I was just contemplating attempting him in earnest come Extend lol.

I don't have a ton of hope for success, but it'd be fantastic if he clicked with me.



Also what sort of time are we ballparking Minato? I'm down for derp fights if you are.
