The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

[Minato]

New loketest is going on.

Needs more Tsubaki, imo. Same goes for more Overdrives.

Things that I noticed, lots more moves now having wall stick properties. Reminds me of GG. Not sure how much I'll use Platinum in CP. Her oki might be weaker and now I can't ruin people's days with guard crush either. Also, Astral requirements are slightly easier now. Bursts aren't tied to Astrals, so all that's needed is just the winning round, 35 percent health, and 100 heat. I couldn't tell if the Burst could be gradually filled by doing nothing like in GG. I just know that it wasn't filling up when the player was at 100 percent health.

And yeah, Rutger, hitstop does look changed. Spelt mentioned it as well during the first loketest if I recall.
Game speed in general looks the same though.

 

[Spelt]

Platinum's hammers seem to automatically guard crush so if that stays in i'm sure you can still destroy people with them.

I'm not sure about hitstop, but hitstun has definitely been reduced.
I think if hitstop has been changed it'll probably be on a move to move basis.

And idk what to think about game speed. Combos seem to be doing about the same damage, but there are probably quite a few combo routes people haven't thought of yet so maybe that'll have an impact in the final build?

I'm gonna wait until I see some actual serious matches before deciding.

 

[Minato]

I'm pretty late on this, but it seems like you can't burst when you're being combo'ed while your opponent is in Overdrive. The burst icon isn't crossed out in neutral or in blockstun though. Now I'm not surprised that they shorted Overdrive's duration in the latest loketest.

Can't burst during Overdrive Combos? Does that mean...Overdrive...bees?

 

[Lythium]

Arakune has a 100% curse combo in the corner, as of the last loketest. :I

*curls up in ball in corner rocking back in forth with fingers in ears* Not true if I didn't hear it, too much madness....CT flashbacks...oh lord the flashbacks!

Pretty sure Arakune has had a 100 percent curse combo post-CT.

 

[Lythium]

Speaking of Arakune, he is now Marlboro.

So...curse gives the enemy a Nicotine Addiction?

 

[Rutger]

Man, I killed so many of those things in FFXII.

Thank god there are no status effects in BB.

Oh wait, curse.

 

[Minato]

Just got around to watching the NEC Japanese qualifiers.

Spoiler

Goro won

and will be coming to America.

 

[Crusayer]

Lol does this mean we have a potential makoto winning a national? \o/

 

[LivewiresXe]

Would be kinda nice, but...let's just do Rawrgna or whatever. Actually, it'd be nice to see a Hazama win.

 

[Lythium]

I actually booted this game up to practice for a tournament this Saturday, and it feels hella slow now.

Too much P4A and Marvel, I guess.

I've been booting it up lately too, but like almost nobody that's not level 90 or whatnot is on these days. Hmm...we could do a few matches here and there over the week if you wanted, Lythi. It'd help me get some practice in for T13, and you could get some practice in for your Saturday tourney.

 

[Lythium]

Yeah, for sure!

I can't at the moment though, bf is hoarding the PS3.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah, for sure!

Yeah, no worries. I'm watching the Jon Stewart vs Bill O'Reilly debate from last night.

 

[Crusayer]

Lol so much for a Makoto god coming over... so much sadness.

We get dora instead now as jp BB rep. Dat bang.

That's not too bad ultimately. It's always refreshing to see really good Bangs I find.

 

[Spelt]

Dora is the only bang I'll actually watch.

I would've rather seen Goro though, I don't think Dora even likes Blazblue anymore.

 

[Minato]

BB at NEC is going to be fun to watch with Dora and Souji coming.

I didn't know it was NEC they were going to. Oh cripes, the MTL crew's not gonna let me hear the end of that one.

Did you not see "NEC Japanese qualifiers" in my previous post?

 

[LivewiresXe]

Did you not see "NEC Japanese qualifiers" in my previous post?

I believe the obviously blunt answer would be "apparently not".

 

[Jdietz43]

Looks like Amane's Astral(?) is some kind of young-ifier?
Kind of funny, kid Noel looks adorable.

Also they finally gave Arakune's Astral a visual overhaul, it was so underwhelming before.
Hope no one wanted to sleep tonight.

(images ripped from Blazblue EU's FB for those who haven't seen already)

 

[Lythium]

Hakumen during Amane's astral is the best.

THE BEST.

 

[ぱみゅ]

The best in every possible way.
Very interested in see Carl and maybe Taokaka, Platium or Arakune.

 

[Jdietz43]

Oh man, I hadn't even thought about Arakune and Plat.... We've seen Tao in the story mode as a kaka-kitten, but I really wonder about Plat/Kune

 

[Spelt]

relius has a mullet.

 

[Rutger]

Hazama gains a boiled egg when he becomes younger?

How does that happen?

 

[Lythium]

I'm pretty sure Platinum just shows up as Trinity or whatever her name is.

And Hazama obv carries chickens in his pocket.

 

[Jdietz43]

More like: Hazama has boiled eggs when he always.

 

[Jdietz43]

WARNING:

WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE IS RIDICULOUSLY ADORABLE.

Young Makoto: dawwwwwwwwwww

 

[Krynxe]

lol at the fanservice

 

[Jdietz43]

Apparently even young Makoto is not immune.
(and no one was really surprised lol)

 

[LivewiresXe]

Holy crap at everyone in those Amane Astral's, lol. Hakumen is absolutely hilarious. And that Arakune Astral is freaky. Poor Tao...

 

[Crusayer]

Loli makoto underboob. Arc sys even going to that fanservice \o/.

 

[Kuraudo]

I'm so excited for this game.

 

[Minato]

Sounds like she's finally back.

That's cool to hear. I mean, I admittedly figured that would be the case, but it's nice to hear something kind of official.
