As of May 2012, it was something like this:

S: Ragna, Tao, Arakune, Hakumen, Valk
A: Bang, Carl, Lambda, Hazama, Mu >> Noel, Rachel, Litchi, Plat, Relius
B: Jin, Tager, Tsubaki, Makoto

So, take that with a grain of salt. Also, you should get over not wanting to play top tiers, it's kinda silly. Especially if you want to play Hakumen.

Thanks for the list.

I don't know - I guess it's a ridiculous mentality, but I'm having a hard time getting over it.

I always wanted to show everyone that I could win with a low tier character in smash, like I could prove myself or something. I felt like if I used a high tier character, I was just jumping on the band wagon and would just be another typical *insert high tier character here* player.

I wanted to make a name for myself.

Also, is Makoto really worse than Tsubaki? I tried Tsubaki, and she just seemed so weak... At least Makota had interesting and easy combos. I couldn't get the hang of her.

Scoring "w's" is the only way to make a name for yourself, imo. Doesn't matter who you do it with or how you do it.

You may wanna leave the bandwagon mentality at the door.

I know that it's probably holding me back. I just want to do well by being unique. I guess I crave success through individualism. Really, I'm not that good at Smash, so I shouldn't even be bothering with low tiers if I hope to win, but I'm just crazy and weird.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

IMO anyone who places too much value in tiers will just end up an unmotivated player due to frustration. It can give a really bad impression of certain characters. Unless you're whole motivation to playing is just to make a name for yourself or that you really like the character. Matchup info is so much more important. Even those who make names for themselves with low tier characters might have a high tier character trained for specific matchups, and they will still be known for that low tier character (e.g. Axe). There is also the fact that the meta will change. Will your low tier character still be low tier months down the line after research has been done?

It really won't matter that much in this game as said already. Games are also getting pretty balanced nowadays because of patches. Like in Persona, a B tier will still have trouble trying to beat someone in S tier, but they still have a chance to win pretty convincingly (for the most part lol). It's nowhere going to be like the low tiers of Smash vs. mid-high, lol.

tldr; my opinion is to just play who you love.

 

[Minato]

I'm sure people are ecstatic about Kokonoe being in. I'll try her out, but I'm not committed to learning her unless she fits my style.
Still would rather have a playable Saya or Celica (however that would work).

 

[Rutger]

I've always liked Kokonoe's design, I'm glad she kept it.

I'll try her out when I get the chance, I doubt I'm importing so I'll be waiting a while. :/
I'm still more excited for Izayoi right now.

 

[Minato]

Famitsu just released a BBCP Kokonoe article. SRK has a translation of it.

Hm... Kokonoe really might be the type of character I'd use. I kind of want to learn Kagura though.

Edit: Also, here's the PV from TGS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWow_fizH-Y

 

[Rutger]

Kagura's range looks fun. Terumi's meter gain is insane.

Kokonoe surprised me though, she's faster than I expected. She also has a teleport. Looks like the kind of character I would like to play, I'll have to try her when I get the game.

 

[ぱみゅ]

Wait, did he say Kokonoe will be DLC?

 

[LivewiresXe]

Holy crap, this board's back? Nice. That was a long 6 weeks, lol.

 

[Rutger]

Kokonoe is DLC.
Terumi is preorder DLC.
Kagura is unlocked through story mode.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Kokonoe's dash/run animation totally looks like she's riding a scooter. I'm still not sure what that spinning metal thing she can summon in place does though.

It's something she places on the field that vacuums her projectile and characters in.

You can also disarm it by make it repel things for a short moment.

Not sure if it's Kokonoe's theme or a matchup theme, anyway the song was amazing (at least the bit I was able to hear).

 

[Deleted member]

Is it weird that I'm more excited for this than I am for Xrd?

Idk, I just wanna sink my teeth into this game.

Think the series will continue with a BB4 for next gen once Xrd comes out?

Also, I'm kinda banking on a Chrono Phantasma II with all the DLC characters already on disk, like they always do... This is the problem with pre-release DLC.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Idk, I think Xrd still has the lion's share of my hype, but the recent reveal of Kokonoe and how she plays has piqued my interest.

Smooth Criminal

 

[LivewiresXe]

I don't think it's weird you're more hype for CP than Xrd. I know I feel the very same way, but it's entirely possible that being a Blazblue player before I ever tried to be a Guilty Gear player has something to do with it.

 

[Minato]

I'm more excited for BBCP right now. Lots more footage and the game is almost out. Kokonoe looks pretty fun along with Kagura. Plus I'm planning on going to tourneys for this compared to earlier BBs.

 

[Raziek]

I suppose I get to "hold dat" on Kokonoe being added, I really didn't expect it.

Looks like they're making it work, though.

So excited to play Terumi. I want him now.

 

[Minato]

I love how Kagura throws and catches different girls lol http://tvpot.daum.net/clip/ClipView.do?clipid=52995574&rtes=y#layerClose

Both characters are looking pretty fun. It's been awhile since I've been this excited for BB.

[Rutger]

The more I see Kokonoe, the more I love her dash.

I want to give all my characters a scooter for the speed boost.


The new characters look fun, except for maybe Bullet. I'm very excited for BBCP, but I've also lost my interest in CSE.
I'm still somewhat interested in Tao and Relius, but not as much as the new characters, seems to be a problem I've had with every new BB. :/

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Dogura's SUPER DEE DUPER Azrael is making me look forward to CP more and more.

omg he makes that character loooooooooooooooooooooooooook siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

Smooth Criminal

 

[ぱみゅ]

My new character hype order is something like:
Kokonoe > Kagura [/will play]> Bullet > Amane > Terumi [/might try]> Azrael.[/not really interested]

However, I'm even more hyped about v's return and try out new Tao and Platinum.

Poor Izayoi doesn't even exist.

 

[Crusayer]

You're in the wrong thread to leave out Izayoi!

Izayoi army go!

 

[LivewiresXe]

More like Iza-no, amirite?

 

[ぱみゅ]

I could've sworn I added her somewhere in the Might Try tier.
She just doesn't look interesting for me, but the teleportation looks fun enough to worth the shot.

 

[Minato]

My hype order changed quite a bit now that I'm seeing what each playstyle is like

Kagura = Kokonoe > Azrael > Amane = Terumi > Izayoi > Bullet

Kokonoe's like a different Rachel. Also giving me Venom and Dormammu vibes. Kagura finally gives me a charge character to play around with, and he's a better manly character than Bang. Azrael just looks fun by hitting like a truck. Amane looks difficult to use while I'm expecting Terumi to end up pretty braindead (also expecting 5C to be good). I like Izayoi's design but she's definitely lacking something to abuse imo. Bullet I just don't care for.

 

[Lythium]

Amane is on the top of my list right now.

Such an elegant design.

 

[Raziek]

Kagura = Kokonoe > Azrael > Amane = Terumi > Izayoi > Bullet

My list is:

Probable main material: Terumi, (Relius, Hazama)
Interested in trying as a secondary: Azrael, Bullet, (Hakumen)
****s n' giggles: Izayoi, Kokonoe
Not really interested in: Kagura, Amane

Put the "non-new" characters I feel relevant in brackets.

 

[Rutger]

Izayoi > Kokonoe > Kagura = Azrael = returning characters I've played > Amane = Terumi > Bullet
For me, I guess.

Izayoi is still at the top for me because of her teleports, gain art dashes, and range. A little bit of Chipp, I-no, and Johnny sounds fun.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Mine is probably something like Kokonoe = Azrael > Terumi = Kagura > Izayoi = Bullet > Amane, from where I sit now for some reason.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Azrael > Relius > Amane > Terumi > Kokonoe.

**** everyone else. Lmao.

And Lythi, don't you mean Amane's design is FABULOUS?

Smooth Criminal

 

[Minato]

I've been looking at all my mains over the games.

CT: Rachel, Nu
CS: Rachel, Tsubaki, Hazama, Ragna, Makoto
CS2: Rachel, Hazama, Platinum, Noel, Ragna
EX: Rachel, Platinum, Ragna, Noel

You can obviously tell I stopped caring competitively after CT lol. I still might use a lot of characters in BBCP, but Rachel's going to be the focus again.

 

[Lythium]

And Lythi, don't you mean Amane's design is FABULOUS?

Smooth Criminal

Well, he is. But it's more like, he's really interesting. And the way that he's animated, and how his moves chain and such... it just looks really smooth and natural. And chip is also neat.

Kagura and Azrael look fine (not my style though), Kokonoe looks cool, Terumi is a waste of a slot (imo), Bullet looks interesting, and Izayoi looks fun, but I agree with Minato that she lacks something. Her movement looks kind of slow to me.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Aye.

In all seriousness, Amane is a very interesting character for all the reasons you listed. That's why I plan on trying him out ASAP, along with the likes of Azrael and Relius.
