hahaha oh wow
Yeah, she's really good. Almost all of us know that already. If you had paid attention to this game for more than a week you'd know that too.

And lots of characters have big combos.

So what exactly is your point?

I'm just going to say that I think Litchi might be higher on the tier list than Bang, or she will be.
What do you base this on exactly? Theoryfighter? Or something tangible?

Granted that the two are both very close, but Bang just barely has more matchups that are highly in his favor, and even that is arguable.

In before it's easy to be a jerk on the Internet.

I feel like Litchi is one of those characters with a lot of untapped potential. Remember Eddie in GG? It's like comparing Eddie and Testament. One good Eddie (Ogawa) and bunch of good Testaments. And until Ogawa came along, no one could play Eddie. At the moment, there's like, what? Two good Litchi players? BLEED and Fio? And there's a ton of Bang players out there, and ton more who will pick up Bang because of his (outdated) tier placing. Litchi is not an easily accessible character, and she's not repped. And if I remember correctly, a lot of tier lists in Japan are based on who's repping and winning with a character, as well as matchups, etc.

So... yes. It is a theory of mine. Deal with it.

IT SURE IS



Yeah, on a serious note though I just realized how douchey all my posts today have sounded and I'm sorry about that you guys. idk why I'm in such a bad mood right now but I'm sorry for it. :(

Remember Eddie in GG?
I never played Guilty Gear, so no, actually, I don't.

I see where you're going though. I still stand by my opinion that the two are extremely close. Regardless of minor changes in who's first or second, they are undeniably the top 2 in the game.

(btw, that pic is awesome face pizza if you didn't realize it)

Another quality review from IGN:

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/110/1107816p1.html

Way to not even mention Mu or the dlc characters.
This is worse:
http://www.gamespot.com/shows/today-on-the-spot/?event=today_on_the_spot20100713&hd=1

"Arakune was basically, I think the story fiction was, a colony of bacteria that really wanted into the tournament so it put on a mask and got in and started fighting."

Sequels shouldn't be knocked just for bringing the same/familiar stuff from before. If a sequel does that but adds MORE, that makes it a better game in most cases anyway, right?

I'd give BlazBlue a 9.3/9.5 out of 10. For the price and DLC that's coming in the future, not to mention the rebalancing patch to compensate for introducing new fighters amongst an established balanced cast, that's the kind of score I would have expected. Truthfully, at least. Too bad that the sales might get their ***** kicked in North America because it's up against StarCraft II on the same day.

...stupid StarCraft and the appeal of being destroyed by Koreans.
You're right about sequels, to a point. I don't mind getting a couple good sequels that are similar to the game before it (Mario Galaxy), but I don't want 10 sequels that are exactly the same, like Dynasty Warriors.

I WAS going to get StarCraft, but then I realized that I don't really enjoy StarCraft as much as BB. I'll probably get it later for the campaign.

I pre-ordered my copy of CS today, just so I don't have to pay all $40 at once. My gamestop has the 27th as the ship date, so it won't be in my hands until Wednesday. Is everyone else getting theirs then too?

Yup. I'm getting mine on Wednesday for Gamestop as well.

I'm planning on picking up a copy a few weeks after it's out.

So I'm going to a BB Tourney on Thursday, I main Noel and I'm expecting to get curbstomped by everyone there. Wish me luck.

Oh man, I was hoping Gamestop would be getting it on the 27th. I even asked for Tuesday off so that I could go pick it up. :urg:

If anyone cares, I'm buying it for PS3 and would love to join a PS3 session if there happens to be one.

I tried to play Noel in CS. I really did. :urg:

Mu is incredibly fun, though truthfully, I wasn't interested in her at all when she was announced for CS. Who would've thought?

Litchi looks so complicated now, I'm not even sure if I'll be able to manage having a secondary character. But if I do, it'll be Makoto.

I'll be cycling through Rachel, Ragna, Tsubaki. I find them pretty easy to use.

Edit: GS texted me. BBCS is actually coming tomorrow.

I hope you've already played the game and determined that Hazama fits your playstyle instead of just arbitrarily picking a main before the game is released based on how cool they are.

Cause if not that would just be stupid.

And I told you guys it was tomorrow lol.

I've already played Lythium's import copy and tested on the CS arcade rip on my PC. I'm sure. :p

Edit:

I've pretty much done that with Tsubaki. I'm going play her for a long-*** while before I go back to Ragna/Bang. I think she'd fit my playstyle from what I've seen.

Yeah, i'm a jerk on the internet I guess. I have a low tolerance for anything remotely stupid now for some reason. Maybe it's seasonal.

Is it pun time?

I think I'll give Makoto a try, but I can't tail if I like her yet.
I think Mu is a character I can get behind.

I think they really hit the nail on the head with Bang's character design.
