Well, it's not that fun of a match when you're cutting back your Ragna use a bit, and your other choices are Noel, and Litchi that you've only used for 2 and a half weeks. :laugh:

If by 'lacking balls' you mean 'playing smartly' then I agree!

Although I'm not going to stick with him, I gotta admit there's a certain appeal to playing as Hakumen because you're winning if both players are doing nothing.

By lacking balls, I mean not having those things that swing inbetween a man's legs.

Reminds me of a Zangief player in SSFIV that messaged me calling me a pu**y.
Yeah... Like I'm not going to keep my distance against a grappler. lol

And it's his fault for him losing to my keep away strategy in the first place.

Something similar happened in BBCS as well. It ended up me winding away to gain a time out.
He messaged me saying it's a shame how nerfed Rachel got.
That guy actually understood. :laugh:

My Rachel's different now though. Tager matchup's still... meh.

I'm still not exactly sure what to make of Litchi's changes, but losing 6b[m] as a wall bounce suuuuuuucks

I'm pissed at Lambda's changes. All her swords are slower which means that her combos will suffer because of it.

I remember reading a comment saying that Valkenhayn is "too strong as he is right now" in the same article that listed changes in the first loketest. Did they mean Valkenhayn that's being shipped soon or Valkenhayn in CSII?

Also, Hakumen doesn't run away. He just sits there, gets meter, then pressures for what seems like a century. He gets away with so much against Makoto. He's gay.

Starting ARakune!

Okay sure. First off, your normals aren't super great. Your 2B no longer functions as a great anti air, so you have to be very cautious pre curse. When you can, run away and use curse cloud + bell bug to stack up meter. Your major spacing tool is jB -> 5A6B j6D. That's going to net you the most consistent damage.

Your pre-curse pressure's gonna be very bad. Maybe jB->2AA-> 6A/2B. Followup 6A with 5D.
Your major goal in precurse blockstrings is to tag them with D attacks safely. Cancel a blocked 5D with a teleport or a jump away. Against people who you know will block, you can get away with 5D -> jD. And jD at the lowest possible point is plus frames.

Post curse, go nuts with 50/50s. Make them block 6A then do either 2B or rising jA. Use the bugs to hitconfirm into wheel loop.

Just cause the Haku Tager match up is just endless 6C's from Haku, (while it's how it should be played), doesn't make it any less boring.

Plus, any vids of Val from the arcade testing yet? I wanna' see him in action a bit more honestly.
(Speaking of him, which Val is coming to consoles? The one right now, at the loc test, or are they gonna' tweak him before shipping him?)

I don't think he will be tweaked before release, it's only a week away now.


Might as well post the Platinum vid as well. Skip to about 1:20.

That's because no-one but anyone who played Guilty Gear has an iota of care for BlazBlue.
It's a tragedy in the making. Tickets are all sold.

Yes. Even with the ridiculous amount of K' being played it still looks like fun.

I did love Guilty Gear.
Isuka was my favorite because it was pure chaos.

It's not as bad as it used to be. That's not saying much though. :I

You wanna know what's silly?

Watching someone practice Calamity Sword RC combos.

Srsly.

I barely use Lambda's supers. Once in a while I'll use a full screen Legacy Edge to get my opponent to block in a certain direction and then Act Parser in and do a low, overhead, or throw depending on where they block. It works on pretty much everyone but Bang (can use a D move to teleport), Carl (can use Nirvana as a shield), Arakune (can super jump and air dash away), and Jin (can use his own projectile super to beat mine out). Otherwise Lambda's meter is only really good for RC (and Astroll if you wanna be flashy).

That right there sounds like a good example of sickening Guilty Gear Elitism. How come Guilty Gear is that much better than BlazBlue?

I'm speaking as a person whose played both.

I'm not particularly fond of versus games.
I'm not interested in them either. MvC2 was fun, but it didn't ever "click" with me like Blazblue did. :ohwell:

I'm too busy hyped over MK9.
Same here, lol. I remember playing the original at a dentist's office... Good times.

Well, it's there for a reason. BB is so much worse than GG. It's not even funny.
I smell a troll, but since you have an amazing avatar (I <3 Gunnerkrigg), I'll take it seriously.

How is BB worse than GG, and what definition of worse are you using? It it competitively worse, overall worse, or what?

GG is more balanced than BB.

Um... that's it.

But look how long it took them to get that right! After five iterations, it's almost perfect!

turn around....

I never understood why people compare them, it's not like Brawl and Melee, where the former is an adaptation of the latter, BlazBlue and Guilty Gear are completely different games, designed and composed differently and targeted at a different audience.
GG is more balanced than BB.

Um... that's it.

True, Guilty Gear took 8/9 years to get it right, it's like blaming a toddler for not being as sophisticated and refined as the adult.

The mindset that because it's harder, it's better is immature.

I couldn't agree more.

I remember when everyone on Dustloop was so butthurt that they started banning members for talking about Blazblue when CT came out.
