The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

[Krynxe]

Also, time for some Mu training today. Do you guys feel like practicing with music is more entertaining? If so, what do you listen to?

I did this a lot when I used to practice melee. I havent for blazblue at all.

I finally started practicing this game, since I bought extend last week. I'm starting to enjoy it more and more as I learn the basics. xP

Also, if you don't mind Lythium, change my info in the op to platinum + lambda please. I'm starting to learn Lambda and I enjoy her a lot, so I'll definitely be using her as my secondary. As for Tao, I don't enjoy playing her very much any more and I almost never do now in Extend so go ahead and take her off.

yeasterday i had a ssf4 tournament and played with 2 borrowed qanba sticks.in my first match i pressed start,because the start button is sooo close to the action buttons.thats the only problem of the stick imo.we just continued the match,but thats one thing that you have to be careful about,jdietz,if you intend to play tournaments.

I should be ok hopefully. I'm used to the smash scene where pause = DQ, and since it's the first and only stick I've used I shouldn't have any muscle memory telling me to hit the start button (or I'll learn some that prevents me from doing so)

 

[Kuraudo]

oh my god. just when you think you have the match won.

Tager 720? No problem online!!

/facepalm

Worse yet is I drop the input for the Astral somehow. this game. so salty.

 

[Lythium]

That's why I don't play this game online very much, haha.

 

[Krynxe]

Lol 720C is the best thing when you're the tager

but probably the most sodium when you're not :<

 

[dualseeker]

Everything I've ever thought about Ragna's 5B is depicted in this image. It's just so amazing XD.

Also, hello again everyone ^^;. My Summer Break has just started, so I hope to be posting here WAY more often than before! I've missed you all and I hope we can talk sometime soon ^__^. It's good to be back!

 

[Lythium]

Welcome back, dualseeker! :3c

That pic is hilarious, by the way.

 

[dualseeker]

Welcome back, dualseeker! :3c

That pic is hilarious, by the way.

Thank you so much, Lythium ^__^. Also, I just joined dustloop as well XD!

Yeah, I know, it's just so good <3! All of my thoughts on Ragna's 5B are in that pic XD.

 

[Lythium]

Haha, I saw that when I was lurking the Noel boards yesterday. :3

 

[dualseeker]

I'll send you a friend request then XD. Again, thanks for the warm welcome ^__^.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Haha, I saw that when I was lurking the Noel boards yesterday. :3

Oh, was it posted there? Would make sense since I thought I'd seen that pic before. That thing has more range than the Flash Bang that floored one of my friends in Montreal.

 

[Rutger]

Speaking of stupid hitboxes, Relius' robot hand attacks should not have hurtboxes.

It would be amazing.

 

[Lythium]

That would be pretty broken, haha.

Do the same for all weapon-based attacks then. And Mu's 5C hurtbox.

 

[Rutger]

Yes it would.

That move has more range than Ragna 5B, it would be stupid good without a hurtbox, and I'd love it. :3

Relius does need a little something more though, but I'm not sure what.
At least the balance in this game is great.

 

[Lythium]

Yeah, I feel like Relius lacks something to make him great.

Mind you, I have no idea what that something is. But SOMETHING.

That gears/junk pile Distortion doing more than 500 damage, maybe?

 

[Rutger]

I have a feeling Arcsys wanted to avoid making him Eddie tier so they intentionally held back.

They'll probably be more daring in the next game, but until then. :/

I would say that he needs more mixup wise though, as it is now he only has 6A, air attacks, throws, and trying an unblockable setup.

Maybe more Ignis meter?

 

[Lythium]

Nah, the good thing about that super is that you can move around freely once it's out, so you set up some shenanigans.

I agree.

I think he just needs better mixup, in general.

 

[Rutger]

That gears/junk pile Distortion doing more than 500 damage, maybe?

The really low damage is made up for by it being a great way to get back some Ignis meter, if I want damage then I'll use 632146D

I admittedly never fought any really good Eddies in Accent core, so I was always able to double air dash, air knife throw, or Hair Car around stuff like that. Or Closet-port mixups if I switched characters.

 

[Lythium]

I've only fought one good Eddie ever.

I was like:

 

[Jdietz43]

(I lol'd at Psyduck harder than I think I should have...)

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I've never fought a good Eddie. Ever.

>_>

I've fought a good just about everybody else, though.

Smooth Criminal

 

[LivewiresXe]

Aye, I be lucky. When you're not fighting people that are super pro, you can get away with a surprising amount of Millia (and Faust) shenanigans. Until they go Potemkin and kill you in 2-3 punches because you're the character with the worst defense in the game.

 

[Lythium]

Chipp has the worst defense in the game, you sillyface. :3c

 

[Smooth Criminal]

With the people I played with, I was the one pulling the Faust shenanigans. It was glorious.

...then a Slayer perfected me. In two games. I lost the will to troll as Faust in Accent Core.

[dualseeker]

I've never played GG before X___________X.

I want to so badly, though XD.

Same, but it's coming to XBLA soon... so

 

[dualseeker]

Same, but it's coming to XBLA soon... so

I wish there was a specific date, though, OMG X__X.

 

[Minato]

GG's pretty hard when you don't know the matchup. Not knowing shenanigans or weight specific combos can be really bad.
I've only played 2 people that knew GG really well. I did especially bad since all I was focusing on was BB during that time

 

[LivewiresXe]

Chipp has the worst defense in the game, you sillyface. :3c

Aye, but Millia's isn't much better. Still, the salty stuff in GG and BB is always funny. Even if it sometimes causes more cussing than Screwattack's Mario Party After Dark sessions.

 

[Crusayer]

That's usually against either Tager, Ragna, or Noel.

\o/.

 

[Lythium]

You sound salty, Crusayer. :3

While I'm sort of excited for new GG, at the same time, I don't expect it to revive the game very much.

 

[Rutger]

GG probably wont get a massive revival with this, but because it will be on current gen consoles it may show up at more tournament, and it will have netplay which will be enough to get some people to stay with it. It could also help lead to a new GG.

I'm excited for it, even if P4A is getting all of my hype right now.

 

[Krynxe]

Well apparently Tsubaki's 236d isn't safe on guard any more.

/new to csex still

Spoiler

Did they really have to nerf Tsubaki...?

 

[Lythium]

Nope, it's not, and no, they didn't.

Or Rachel or Litchi, for that matter.

 

[dualseeker]

Tsubaki/Rachel/Litchi nerfs made no sense to me... Especially Rachel. She was completely fine, so I don't really get why they nerfed her...

Or even touch her for that matter. I really don't think they needed to make any to her... But what do I know, BBCS:EX is the most balanced yet, so maybe they did need to, I don't know XD.

 

[Minato]

Well apparently Tsubaki's 236d isn't safe on guard any more.

I'm pretty sure it's safe on normal block, but yeah, she's at a frame disadvantage now.

I think Rachel stayed where she was at. Having a special cancelable j2C from CT is nice.

Fair enough, I wouldn't really know. :3

236D is -4, and if any of her shield rush attacks are "badly spaced," they become worse on block. Go figure. :I

Actually, all of Tsubaki's everything is minus now, basically. Especially her specials.

 

[Krynxe]

That's unfortunate. I have a friend who's been sticking with Tsubaki since CT and now he's got the "forever destined to be mid-low tier" bug. :<

For the time, I'll keep working on Lambda. I noticed her defensive options are pretty terrible now, I can't seem to find anything safe to get out of pressure besides her DDs. I could have sworn gravity seed used to have invuln, but it seems much less useful in csex. Fortunately her neutral game is still fantastic, so I'm trying to play that to my advantage the best I can and get it down.
