The BlazBlue Thread. V-13 hates you! Edit: Now with gamertags! <3 See first post.

When I do get this game.... Is there going to be anyone left for me to play against online? I'll be getting the XBX version. It'll be a while before I get it only because paying for classes have severely drained me. :.

You'll probably get it around the same time I do.

 

[Fizz-sama]

Thank DFEAR. Really enjoyed playing all you dudes. Definitely good stuff. Looking forward to doing it again. You guys make me think a lot harder, so I enjoy that already right there, haha.

First post is also edited with more gamertags and Zero Gamer's announcement for nightly BB casuals at 9:00PM Eastern. Next time there are a few gamertags I miss, and you'd like it to be added, it'd be best if you PM'd me. I'm much more prone to do it faster if I see it in a PM than backtracking the pages everyday. (Granted...this thread doesn't gain like 20 new pages if you miss it one day, but still.)

By then I may have saved up enough to get my Xbox online. if so I'd certainly play with ya

How do you guys do it?
If you play on the Xbox with a pad, how do you guys seriously play with the pad? I can't really grasp how its possible to play a fighting game on an xbox pad. :|The buttons seem bigger and the stick is bigger too. Unless of course all of you play on the stick..haha.

 

[BearsAreScary]

I've been playing this game for about 3 days now and it's super neatooooo lvl 36 and climbing

If any of you live in or around ATL get your butts to SEB and play in tourney this weekend
I intend to lose to NO MAN

I use the stick.
But I also use Tager (no dash forward, which is what I tend to need a dpad for)

while on Guilty Gear I found PS2 remote necessary, on BB I don't really mind the Xbox 'troller.

 

[DFEAR]

hori and tournament edition sticks ftw seriously.

and all should goto florida gaming for blazblue. brawl should gtfo.

 

[Fizz-sama]

Tournament edition sticks are nice, but I love my custom one, XD. I'd like to mod my SFIV SE stick though since it ****ed up and make it PS2/PS3/360 compatible.

 

[DFEAR]

btw. i will GLADLY make templates for anybody wishing so.

just pm me, or request in meh sig shoppe (make sure to supply a template if u can) =P i r bored during the weekdays :\

 

[Fizz-sama]

Yea, I've been meaning to find the dimensions or whatever for the SE stick so I can ask you for a template. Or rather, climb the highest mountain, in the dead of night, snow and wind lashing at my face, and beg to you for a template.

 

[DFEAR]

google is ur best friend...and atm im in a fight with him :\ so i cant ask him lol

 

[Fizz-sama]

Yea, I've just been incredibly lazy with the idea. When I find out, I'll PM you a basic idea, if that's fine.

 

[DFEAR]

lol no ITS NOT FINE. D=< !!! its MISS FINE!

nah, its cool :3

I can understand some characters..but most of the characters are purely original. All the characters have their own unique playstyles that are completely different than anyone's playstyle in GG. You can not play a character and expect them to perform the same with the same strats as in GG.
Even Tager has to be played drastically different.

Tager plays like a Potemkin except:

+ He has sledge
+ He has magnetic fields so he doesn't need to get closer

- He has no slidehead or hammer fall

VERY DIFFERENT

Some characters play like GG chars, some play like hybrids, very few are completely original....

That's not to say it's not good. GG was good, the only thing I don't like about BB is no Slayer =(

The only completely 100% original (and by original, I mean not ripped from GG specifically) things I've seen:

+ Rachel
+ Bang's theme song

I enjoy using the Xbox controller analog stick. I can do all the "tough" moves just fine.

[DFEAR]

arakune and hakumen are so original xD lol. har har

 

[Dreadz18x]

most ppl say blah blah lah ragna and jin are ripoffs of sol and ky but neither of em play like each other really, except ragna does feel like order sol in a way.

 

[DC]

Using the controller is fine (as long as your not using the 360 dpad lol)... the only reason I switched to stick is cuz it's annoying when you go somewhere and all they got is PS3 and you've been playing on 360 for the last few days, vice versa.

Also I'm working on a Rachel Alucard combo video~
(NOT a compilation video, just a combo video) It's a bit early but might as well record as I'm practicing my combos so once I actually do them I can stick them in the vid lol.

Tell me who the following characters are ripped off from:
V-13.
Hakumen
Arakune
Carl
Litchi
Taokaka
Rachel

oh wait cool I just named like over half the game. Those characters are completely original play styles and I don't see them being similar to anyone in GG.
The only characters I did not name were Ragna, Jin, Noel and Tager.

You gotta realize no game is completely original.

I use the xbox dpad, does that make me a noob? I don't like it but it's not completely horrible. Although I don't play characters with a lot of directional input. I'd love to learn carl but the dpad is one of the things holding me back.

in all honesty

buy a stick.
enter tournaments.
win that money back.
**** face with carl.
???.
profit.

 

[Laijin]

The PS3 dpad has its limitations. But its easier to use than the Xbox's huge giagantic dpad. I can't do Noel's: BC 236A 2B 6C without the 6C turning into a 236C. That input is almost near impossible to do because the dpad loves to do 236 anyways >__>

I use d-pad too, but I play hakumen so it's not terribly difficult to get those inputs on the dpad.

 

[vZakat]

I've thought about buying a stick but it would take a long time to get used to it since I've played fighting games with a dpad my whole life (and it costs like $50). I do have a some problems with doing a 236 by accident and I can't do any 623 or 421 consistently.

 

[Shogun_Fox]

I have Blazblue for PS3 but I have a question... what are these numbers? 236 and 623 and stuff >.>

click on guides -> conventions & notations.

 

[Winnar]

Look at your numpad, the numbers stand for a direction input that assumes your opponent is on your right.

7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

236 means you press down, down-forward, forward, the traditional hadouken input.

623 means you press forward, down, down-forward, the traditional shoryuken input.

P.S. To all those with blazblue, I'm hosting a room right now. (applies only to 360 BB'ers)

Edit - Room's down for dinner, it might be back up later

Edit 2 - GGs X, sick Rachel and Tager. Fun Hakumen dittos (a little depressing too haha)

Sorry my hakumen sucks so hardcore (especially against Rachel, whom you are the first I've played), I'm still figuring out the game in a lot of ways. Any tips?

Also sorry I disbanded so suddenly, but I'm pretty tired. We'll play again soon anyway, right? :D

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Yeah, GGs, Winnar. I main Rachel and Tager, my bro uses Hakumen. Don't belittle yourself! You're still getting used to the physics and options of the game. The best way to improve is to play a lot (losing tends to happen a lot >.> ), watch some vids (write down combos), and get creative in training mode (mostly counterhit combos for Hakumen, I think).


I recommend being more grabby since the Fthrow does 2050 damage and can combo into a lot of Megatama moves. Jumping C is also your best friend. Also, for some strange reason the developers didn't want to make Hakumen's Mugen invincible... also some combos just don't work while Mugen is activated.

Sorry about not hosting a room recently, guys, my family and I are moving to Alabama.

And Jin is so gonna be top 3 in the tier list, especially if any sort of update is released.

 

[Winnar]

I actually haven't done any training mode stuff but like...once? Briefly?

I guess that's something I'll have to do D:

I'm just now starting to get the hang of using that 2C.

Also for counter hits is the hitstun increased on all hits in the combo string? Or just the first hit?

I'm trying to come up with more approaches as Hakumen, but it seems like other than varying the timing on air dashing my only other option is either inching my way forward while walking or waiting for the opponent to approach me.

Also congrats Zero :O You're one post away from 1000 XD

I played one hakumen who used the distortion counter on me, so I've been trying to get the hang of that. I've yet to pull one off though

Thanks for the advice :O

 

[DFEAR]

its more or less gonna work like this.

nerf top 3. buff bottom 3

 

[Zero_Gamer]

lol, for my thousandth post, I'm making a huge story instead of a shoutout for each person I know. It's already 10 pages on Microsoft Word. XD

Counterhit is huuuuuge hitstun on the first hit. I think Rachel's 6B poke leaves you frozen for like, 3 seconds lol. I usually get myself a sandwich before I beat the crap outta ya.

Oh, yeah, Winnar, Hakumen is either air dash in or slowly walk forward and space attacks. Also that one magatama move that uses 2 magatama is invincible through the entire dash animation.
