The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

[Scamp]

I dunno if I truly represented Ms. Cutting Board as she was just one of several that I played since I don't really feel like I connect with any of the current characters.


Makoto is pretty strong. I don't get most of the complaints about her. Perhaps people are just too used to characters like Bang who basically have no weaknesses.

 

[Gates]

Makoto's range isn't very good.

That's about all you can complain about. Her damage output and meter building ability is decreased since the space loop is gone, but she still does fine in both those areas anyway.

 

[Lythium]

pics or it didn't happen

I can't find a vid of it, but it's on the DL loketest change list.

Fair enough.

And Makoto doesn't do well against characters that have better range than her. And she gets zoned hard. But yeah, she has a DP, and her mixup isn't amazing, but it's alright. She isn't very strong in the air though, because her hitboxes are wonky.

 

[X the Derp]

Her DP is pretty terrible though; H-man can J.2C. through it. Not only that, but her priority is sub-par, with the exception of her J.2C. and jabs. And it's awesome whenever she will parry something, and nothing happens because the move is outside of the parry hitbox.

Her astral is still the best IMO.

 

[Scamp]

I agree with what you guys are saying, but my point is I don't think it's anything to complain about.


Her range isn't great but if her range was great she's be stupid broken. She has the tools to get in on any character but she can't just blindly rush in crazy time.

I think her mixup game is really good. Just stupid simple. Off the overhead you can take about 2000 damage, a knockdown, or insane damage in the corner. Things would be a lot scarier if teching throws wasn't so simple, but that's kind of how this game works if you're not Tager.

Her DP isn't really the greatest thing for anti-air, you're better off doing other options that will lead to more damage. What the DP is great at is taking out blockstrings that have gaps in them which will generally prevent the foe from doing that which gives you more opportunities to get in.


I think the main reason (and I say this with no experience with the new game, of course) that people think Makoto is scary in the new game is that IB-ing is being nerfed. Makoto actually does have decent lockdown and using IB is really helpful in getting out of it. When it's not as good, Makoto gets better.

The Guilty Gear equivalent is Jam, who I always liked to play but could never get good with.

This. Characters usually have at least one weakness.
As long as a character has something threatening, they're not bad.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Makoto's DP does ridiculous damage when RC'd. It is very effective to run up to someone on knockdown and DP if you have meter because Makoto's DP has the most invincibility compared to others and it's either 3.5K midscreen or 6K corner.

Makoto's best anti-air is IAD grab btw.

Makoto's mix up game is the same as her character in general. "It's... good... but it's also bad."

 

[X the Derp]

I made a Hazama rage quit.

I feel so accomplished .

 

[Kuraudo]

Making the troll ragequit...

You are a god among gods.

 

[Lord Viper]

I wish I made a Hazama user ragequit. Though since I use Rachel near all the time, it's not going to happen. )= ★

Best I could do was make a Hakumen ragequit with my Rachel.

 

[Pitzer]

I made a ragna rage vs my hazama Irony?

 

[Lythium]

I made a Hazama ragequit once with my Mu.

All he did was spam chains. :I

 

[Hot_ArmS]

just got this game for ps3, gates and viper play with me!!!

 

[Lore]

I doubt that anyone but me cares, but apparently, Mu has a loop. :I

Cool! Since I play Mu occasionally, I might learn that new Moop.

Now that I think about it, I play way too many characters. XD

Main: Noel
Secondaries: Lambda and Arakune
"just for fun" characters: Mu, Tager, Ragna, and Rachel.

 

[GigaBowserXyZ]

i made a hazama ragequit during the beginning of CS.

*catches him with 720*

*you've lost connection with your opponent*

ah classic. no match for the power of SCIENCE!

 

[Raziek]

My Score Attack Tager caught me with a wake-up 720 yesterday.

I pooped a little.

 

[GigaBowserXyZ]

Score Attack Tager can buffer 720 off of ANYTHING! it makes me jealous. ;_;

 

[Gates]

What's your PSN dawgg.

He didn't ragequit, your magnets were messing with his internet connection.

 

[Pitzer]

Oh man Score attack tager is stupid... I got the walking 720 in the face..

 

[X the Derp]

If you wait on one side of the screen, he NEVER approaches.

He just stands there doing random moves... menacingly!

 

[Wave⁂]

Oh man Score attack tager is stupid... I got the walking 720 in the face..

lol, and here I thought I was the only one who had trouble with Tager's 720.

****ing move does so much damage, it's ridiculous.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Every time I try to get unlimited Bang I throw poison nails at Tager and wait for random 100-kabillion-frame moves and D through them.

Then I ragequit after losing to Unlimited Hazama for the umpteenth time.

 

[Lythium]

Cool! Since I play Mu occasionally, I might learn that new Moop.

Apparently, it's ridiculously easy.

Something like: [6C > 5D > 214D] x N

 

[Lore]

Awesome! I'll definitely learn it.

I do have a question for you though, Lythium. How the hell do I pull off the j. D in the middle of a chain revolver combo? I can never get the timing right. XD

 

[LivewiresXe]

Yeah, that thing's tricky to do for me too. I only tend to get it right a bit of the time.

 

[Lythium]

I'm pretty sure you can only use it when you are starting a drive combo, as in j.D is your first drive move, or you can use it after d.5C because it is the only drive move that is jump cancellable.

So, you could do j.D > 6D > 5C > 6B > 236D or 2D > 6A > 6C > 5C > j.D > reset.

Hope that helps! :3c

The timing is kinda tricky though, so keep practicing!

 

[Wave⁂]

There's this, I'm not entirely sure what she's doing in between the j.Ds, though.

 

[Lythium]

It's a d.5C. It's the only one that can be jump cancelled.

 

[Pitzer]

Panty, have you seen chuck? I need to release my anger

 

[LivewiresXe]

It's D.5C? Oops, I've been trying it with D.6C.

 

[Raziek]

I keep trying to unlock unlimited Hazama, but Unlimited Hakumen just keeps pooping on me. Hazama can do nothing. T_T

 

[SirroMinus1]

I heard that there was some really good Blazblue players that came from smash anyone can someone filll me in?

 

[Lythium]

Use Tager. 360s are your friend.

 

[Kuraudo]

So true...

Typical combo ending with Gadget Finger into 360.

 

[Yoshara]

Use Tager. 360s are your friend.

The problem is that he wants Unlimited Hazama, and last I checked, you have to use Hazama for that.

I heard that there was some really good Blazblue players that came from smash anyone can someone filll me in?

The only one I can really recall is Dacidbro, who was getting into the smash scene around the time he started playing Blazblue. Last I checked he doesn't play smash anymore (and didn't really play it for that long in the first place).

Oh, and mabey DaiAndOh.

 

[Lythium]

Good point.

Plan B: purchase the unlimiteds instead.

 

[X the Derp]

Lol, it could be Zero :D.

Well there's also me. And you may as well include everyone in this thread too. (I'm not that good. ;_

I don't know much about the players outside of California and where they came from, but you want to add Bang Camero (Plan 9 in Brawl) to that list.

 

[Pitzer]

Good point.

I would if I could but, Score attack is so addicting till you lose to Tager like 45 times in a row Hell I never even got past tager. All times where with Hazama.
