Some match vids on JOYBOX's youtube channel...

Looks cleaner and more polished presentation wise...
Too bad it looks boring, a couple of the characters are like watered down versions of their GGXX counterparts design wise and the gameplay doesn't look as good/fast as GGXX...
but that's just me... :) not to mention I haven't played it, so don't take my word on it being sh!T just because I don't like it.
I'll judge it after I play it, of course it'll get judged on a scale of the quality of the female characters, but thats a good judgement.
From what I understand, it is a little slower than GG, on purpose. Apparently the designer is also a bit sick of the okizeme and is trying to make BlazBlue more on-foot-combat based.
I dunno, I'm certainly interested in it...

That actually explains a lot like the ground rolling after a knockdown.

Oh shit!! Time to get my scrub on ;D
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFU-
GODDAMN AUCKLAND GETTING ACTUAL GAMES!
All Hail Yifan's!!
Holy shit we have this now? sweet. and does this mean mvc2 is back on crt?
Additionally jin(? the ice guy) and rachel seem cool.
this game looks quite cool. how do you play it?
You mean, how do you play it at all? Yifan's has it, apparently.
It'll be released on Wii in Japan... hopefully the Wii emulator (Dolphin) will be in a good place by then... :D
Yea im gonna have to go have a jam on this tomorrow before work. Arakune seems like he could be fucked up enough for me to be pretty good with him.
FARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm currently transfered to working in Northcote from Monday to Friday instead of Mt Eden on just Saturday!!!!
nah, seriously... I'm not interested... :)
In before XBAWKs hat guy being a total d!ck and making people whine about how ghey he can be...
He does that in every single new game. Except ones where he really can't win, then he'll just run away like a bloody PUSSY!!!

Describe him, i got cheesed down by some dude the other day.
Fuck arakune is difficult to play. But since ive found a costume that makes him look like a sentient wad of sperm with a mask, i refuse to play anyone else.
is he that guy with the glasses and sometimes wears that blue jacket??
Back from the shore. Some cunt was driving like a dickhead, so I dobbed him onto the report bad drivers section of the Police website. How do you like them apples you cunt!
Anyway...
Using my awesome MS Paint skills...
I present to you, XBAWKs hat guy...
http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/299/xbawksnv1.jpg
oh THAT guy. Yea he is kind of a douche.
Anyway the most scrub-friendly characters seem to be noel, jin and ragna. Also I like the fact that arakune can do an 80 hit combo that does around 30% life. Also i didnt realise until today that all the characters had air grabs aswell.

Is XBOX guy
One round when I played Street Fighter 4, I was Bison vs an Akuma, and all he did the *WHOLE ROUND* was jump back. Sometimes he would jump back and do an air fireball. Every time I got in close, he'd never engage, just jump away. Fucking infuriating.
I have no idea who it was, but I like to think it was Xbox hat guy just from the descriptions of his play style you guys give :D
apparently jin and ragna are the most user friendly characters. i just like ragna cause he doesnt use his gigantic sword to block. uses his FUCKING ARMS to block swords and shit.
Jin is apparently good at everything. Hes one of the most played characters in japan atm. Jwong is a jin user. And to add more proof to how Mike Z is the man, He uses Tager, and managed a 66 win streak with him. (Tager = teh bottom tierz)
Might have to start palying this then ::).. is Tager the big guy???

wow, I couldn't have said it better myself... :D Except I love it when he does that, because I can set him up. (If the game engine allows you to jump in and parry/reversal sh!T)
Someone give me a detailed description of the game engine and I can practically own him if needed. Hopefully you guys will be able to beat him pretty good. Otherwise I might have to intervene... :D
Tager is the big red Potemkin.
Oh yep it is that guy. He uses Sagat, Gief and Akuma in sf4 from what I remember and his Sagat is ok....Tiger,Tiger,Tiger,Standing Roundhouse,Tiger....
So i played this for the first time yesterday. Picked Bang and threw some nails. It was pretty cool... until tager did his ultimate whatever you call it :-\.. that shit does so much damage
I can take xbawks hat guy with arakune. But if i fuck up ANYTHING its a free combo, since ragna seems to be able to go into a large combo string off of just about everything.
The game seems pretty balanced. Ive seen decent play from all the characters except carl, but thats probably only because i havent seen any carl videos.

LOL, Sol Badguy syndrome... Except I f@rk up his Sol with Millia since I can outgun him in all aspects in #Reload :) (I hope that I can do the same in this game... except there is no Millia... >:( )
Isn't Carl the boy with the huge doll? He looks like an interesting character. A bit like Zappa with the dog.
I'm thinking of using cat girl. Her face makes me LOL... That cheesy grin with sharp teeth is A+. *jump* whoooshaaaa! whoooshaaaa! *jump* whoooshaaa! whoooshaaa! Probably the Millia of this game in terms of mobility. Which will be good for mixups. ANd she has Wolverine's super! :D
I would say arakune might be more like zappa. zappa + eddie with a hint of dizzy/venom to be precise.
Fuck, the damage scaling in this game is ruthless. If your combo goes for long enough, you actually stop doing damage. The hits continue, but the life bar doesnt move at all. That would explain the 63 hit combo i did that took away roughly 30% life.
oh yea, BEASTED xbawks hat guy today.
BEASTED

awesome, wanna record some matches.
Love to. I just dont know how the fuck i did that 63 hit combo.
j.b -> 2.a -> 5.b -> 5.d,c(to call the bug) -> Jump cancel -> c bug hits, j.d -> land -> 5.c -> close eyes and mash for air combo.
at some point i re-launched with j.d after he fell down from my air combo. (i think j.c grounds them, and then j.d, being a low attack picks them up) and the jump cancel was lucky. i still cant do it properly.
also, that setup only works mid screen. Arakune is odd in that he doesnt have a corner trap, but he can trap mid screen >_> And anti airs chew him.

u just getting started .... 8) 8) 8) 8)
Can anyone lead me to some info on the general game system?
Just had the most insane match of Red Alert 3... BLoody 1 hour and GOD knows how many minutes... Must've lost 12 Kirovs airships during that match... But then I won mainly with Kirov airships... :)
The game uses an 8-directional lever, common to most fighting games, and 4 attack buttons: Light (A), Middle (B), Heavy (C), and Drive (D), the latter of which activates unique special abilities for each character. Throw and Throw Escape are performed by pressing B and C at the same time. In addition to basic dashing and jumping, there are also double jumps, high jumps and air dashes.
* Guard Libra: When guarding or forcing your opponent to guard, this gauge will shift. When it fills up completely to one side, the guarding player will undergo a Barrier Crush and will be stunned temporarily.
* Barrier Gauge: A gauge that regenerates over time, used for Barrier Guard. The defense capability of a character is lowered for a set period of time when this gauge reaches zero.
* Barrier Guard: Pushes back the opponent and prevents the Guard Libra from shifting. Performed by pressing A and B at the same time while guarding.
* Barrier Burst: Pushes the opponent away, even when guarding or receiving damage, thus canceling the enemy's combo in the latter case. If used offensively and guarded by the opponent, they will undergo a Barrier Crush. Uses 100% of the Barrier Gauge and leaves it to zero for the remainder of the round. Performed by pressing all four buttons at the same time.
* Heat Gauge: An energy gauge needed to perform Distortion Drives and Rapid Cancels.
* Counter Assault: Counters an opponent's attack while guarding. Consumes 50% of the Heat Gauge. Performed by pressing forward, A and B at the same time while guarding.
* Rapid Cancel: Cancels the recovery time of an attack. Consumes 50% of the Heat Gauge. Performed by pressing A, B and C at the same time while attacking.
* Distortion Drive: Special attacks unique to each character. Consumes 50% of the Heat Gauge. Performed with some arrow motions plus the Drive button.
* Astral Drive: Special attacks unique to each character. Consumes 100% of the Heat Gauge. The conditions for using Astral Drives are simple: the player has to be fighting in the last round of each match, and his/her opponent has to have 1/3 of its health left (which is, of course, a speculation). The player can then input the buttons needed for the Astral Drive. Astral Drives can be considered similar to Guilty Gear's Instant Kills.
fuck wikipedia is handy.
F@rk, it sounds like GUilty Gear all over again... You'ld think that they would make the engine somewhat more... different? :D
Thanks for the info.
Aww man. I steamrolled the dude that just spams jins ice surfboard thing this morning.
Noel gives me problems. And friggin Tager. Im starting to see how Mike Z managed 66 wins with him >_> Bottom tier my ass.
Bottom tier? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL... There is a Tagger player beating down a Ragna player on the latest JOYBOX youtube vids...
His command throw should take off half the lifebar like XX Potemkin Buster... :D It would make the game more fun :D

Thats what i thought, when i saw the amount of damage one of his 4 hit combos does :o
wow... Jin is like...
what happens when you give Ky Millia's iron saviour, Sol's bandit revolver and Johhny's slashes... :o
too bad he doesn't say stun edge... ::)

Those Joybox videos are pretty decent. Its just hard finding one that matches a character you want to learn. Bang is pretty cool too. Come to think of it this is the first game where i actually have a desire to play almost all the characters.
Additionally i dont think i know who you are !DIABLO GTR! Care to put those paint skills to good use again? (No massive pecs/crotch bulges plz.)

Oh HIM. You'd think a neo nazi would be more recognisable to me. My bad. Thanks for not putting in a massive crotch bulge.
Since when was a Russian officer a Nazi officer? :)
Commi-nazi's my friend.
Additionally, Bang is awesome. If only for his official description:
"Kanki afureru ninja no touryou" ("The ninja leader overflowing with manly spirit")
Additionally x2, heres a pretty good source of basic information that isnt the dustloop forums.
http://round2.18.forumer.com/a/blazblue-for-dummies_post340.html
Dustloop was mostly full of fags the last time I was there... :)
Played the game yesterday...
Man, I was like...
How do you play this...
So I mashed and figured out some combos... ;D
But that didn't stop my friend using Ragna and performing Sol Badguy moves (can't believe that it was also the same input as Sol's moves) and steam rolling me and Zarz (yes, he played a bit as well)...
Oh, some Noel player pulled off a XBAWKs hat guy and challenged me when I was messing around... :)
Yea that noel guy just loops the same BS over and over again. Youve just got to watch out for the overhead.
I started playing like a dork and eventually managed to out jab him. Taokaka or whats her name has pretty good reach with C.
so I think the combo is 2A 2A 2B 5C 236AAAA D crossover mixups or some BS... It's good to see that instant block is in the game. Except I don't know WTF is going on yet to block consistantly... :) I think it's essential against Ragna since his hitboxes are XBAWKs huge...
Saw a white guy using Jin, pretty interesting stuff there.

TO be honest, it's Sol Badguy all over again... It's too systematic to be effective in the long run... Once I've figured out the instant block timings and counters work against Ragna, it's gonna be like me getting perfects against his Sol Badguy AGAIN. But right now, I'm more than satisfied with trying to figure out block timings and patterns. That Noel player got him real good before I left despite all that BS he was pulling off, lol...
Man, I want to see someone use Iron Tager properly...
edit:
Iron Tager lulz... 5.31
http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=TZT_7G2l-fU
Too bad KingPic isn't here to play...
bill is going to kill that guy
and that cat thing is pretty cool. it throws a fucking bowling ball!!
SO uhm...
I finally beat XBAWKs hat guy Sol (Ragna), Jin (Ky) and Iron Tager (Potemkin) with Taokaka (Millia)... the similarities are too obvious and I doubt it will change... (and its like playing a robot)
The white guy that uses Ky is the main person to beat for now... It's always close matches and I always end up losing due to that freeze thing and the awkward teching and stuff... But not as much as getting raped by Arakune... :D
I can't match most of the faces with the players, so can you guys post which characters you use?
And I need Taokaka combos plz. My mixup and strats are alright now, but I have no idea how to do some of the pretty mainstream good combos... 2A,2A,2B,C,236AAAAAAAAAA,D,duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhh....................
QuoteThe white guy that uses Ky is the main person to beat for now... It's always close matches and I always end up losing due to that freeze thing and the awkward teching and stuff... But not as much as getting raped by Arakun
Fuck off that guy is useless. Its apalling that any of us can lose to that retard. HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO PLAY. He uses the EXACT SAME PATTERN every time.

Yes, I know it seems that way, but the fact that he beats us with that kinda sh!T suggest that he knows how to abuse the system to a certain degree, making him the person to beat at the current moment... :)

I couldn't disagree more. Most of us arent used to dealing with such a random and stupid playstyle. He throws out random moves, waits for them to hit, and then follows up with qcb+b, in a ridiculous systematic pattern. Sol and i spent like 3 matches verbalising what he would do next, and didn't get it wrong once. He likes his grab now though, which i suppose at least means i have to learn to try and tech more.
He proceeded to tell me that jin has the "fastest" grab in the game, so it beats out other grabs. Which is bullshit, since not only do ALL characters grab at the same 'speed',but if you grab at the same time, one grab will just tech the other, usually the grab with the lower priority (Admittedly im not sure if 'grab priority' is really a factor in BB)
Also proceeded to tell me that the only way to escape it was a defensive burst. Also bullshit, he just DOESNT KNOW WHAT A TECH THROW IS.
The guy is worse than everyone that plays it. At this point, i still think xbawks hat guy and hiro (when using litchi) are the people to beat.
RANT OVER. The rest of this post will be useful.
HOW TO BEAT RETARD:
His jin is fodder the way he plays it. After the 'ice slide' just use a decent-ranged normal after you block the sword-hit. Most characters will be able to score an easy bnb off of this hit (a bit tough for arakune with the shit range on his normals, but definitely doable)
If he panics and mashes C (which he does A LOT) its easily punishable with any projectile. Arakunes 2D for instance. Just make sure you've been pushed far enough away so that you dont take a hit due to your chars animation. With Taokaka, you might be better off using her mobility to get over him and hit him from the back. Im only speculating on this, since i dont really know a lot about taokaka.
Dodge the swords he throws, and try to tech his grab. Teching is easier said than done, but its not difficult, as you probably already know. You just have to be prepared for him to grab when he gets close on the offensive. Not so much when hes being defensive, since he thinks his best defense is mashing C. Sadly, im terrible at teching throws, so in all honesty, I do have a bit of trouble dealing with this aspect of his gameplay.
Hes extremely easy to beat, and he hasn't improved at all since i perfected him last week. I only get so annoyed when i lose to him is because:
A) I didnt manage to land whatever combo i was trying to land the whole match because he ran away the whole time. (This still annoys me even when i win >_>)
B) Im annoyed at myself for not doing what i shouldve been doing (punishing properly), or because i kept fucking up dive-cancelling arakunes air dash and that stupid fucking forward dive came out instead of j.b. Most of the damage i take is because of this. Comes from a habit playing anakaris in MVC2 unfortunately.
If i didnt do that goddamn dive so much i would win a good 50% more matches.

Find your centre bro. Calm and Centred. Anyway watching you play has inspired me to play this game hard out so in a while I'll be up for some challenges ;) ;)
Fuck calm. This game is about ANGER.

I agree... :) The lower the life bar gets, the more reckless I become... :D
Reminds me of the time in #RELOAD when I was 5% lifebar remaining against XBAWKs 100% lifebar, and I was like, fark it, I'm going to lose... So I just reckless rushed him down and won... Then I was like, wait... wut? ???
Arakune is hard to block... Especially since I can't tell what the moves look like besides that flying attack with the jabbing spear things... :)
Yea, once youre marked, you tend to get hit by shit that comes from nowhere. I would'nt have a clue how to fight him.
WOw...
Ragna takes damage like a b!tcH!
http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=wCDL_-ZUFTs&feature=channel_page
Yea. It kind of balances his high damage output + ridiculous ease of use.
so hes basically this games akuma.
Waaaaaaaaay easier than Akuma... This guy can combo from half a screen away. It's a good thing I've found a way to exploit countering it. Now the real problem is figuring out what the heck Jin is doing and what moves do what... THey shjould at least make him obvious like Ky, but all of Jin's slash moves look the same... ;D
Will be down in the evening today...
They all look the same and are all countered the same way.
ok... so XBAWKs hat guy has stopped rushing in at the start and decided to become a giant turtle...
tyme to start practicing... :)
Turtle = negative penalty.
Rush that shit down.
I don't know what happened today... but I managed to beat XBAWK Ragna in only 2 attempts today... managed to cheap him out with 236AAA, D~A, B, C, 236AAA repeat/mixup with throw/overhead... kinda like what he does with Ragna doing combo, run up, 2AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
Taokaka can relaunch after landing 6B overhead on an airbourne opponent.
Don't know why he bothers using Iron Tager if all he does is backdash, throw attempt/jump C... Like, he was a giant punching bag for 4 matches... That spin around super can be airblocked easily and you can pretty much get a free combo from any position after blocking it... The heavenly Potemkin Buster can do ~65% of Taokaka's lifebar though... it's like there is no damage scaling... :)
Starting to get the hang of Carl. Still bloody hard to use though...
Managed to get some other friends to start playing. :)
i want to learn.....i am pick BANG
goodbye to money laaaaaa
I want to learn too. What console is this coming out on ??? ???
ps3 8) 8) 8)
It hasn't been announced for anything yet. But PS3 would be a good guess.
Ive read seen alot of talk stating its ps3 exclusive at the moment.
Speculation. Nothing more.
People are predicting a PS3 exclusive release because the games largest audience is Japan. And given that in Japan the PS3 is doing considerably better than the 360, It is highly likely that the PS3 will get a release. It could still potentially get a release on 360 though. The wii however, simply cant handle it.
Were still a minimum of AT LEAST 6 months away from a console port though. Even that is being generous. The developers were aiming for the arcade version to be out 9-12 months before the console version iirc.
so then we might see some console exclusive characters???

WoW IllBill's in the know. Damn 6 months. I can afford a PS3 now with all the money I spend on that game sheesh. ::)

Oh nice. Be interesting to see what we get.
What I learned about BlazBlue today:
Tager does a lot of damage
Tager has a lot of life
Ragna does a lot of damage
Ragna does not have a lot of life
I learned that i cannot use bang to save my life.
Oh, excellent. You can use him next time and maybe I'll stand a chance ;D
Back from Malaysia...
And I feel the need to kick a certain someones @ss!
I presume XBAWKs hat guy is now using Noel properly since I saw him with a piece of paper ~ 2 weeks ago practicing... What a tier whore... :)
Speculation on console exclusive characters being Sol Badguy and Ky... :D
edit:
wow... XBAWKs has learnt how to properly use Iron Tager. Impressive. I can't tell if the combos were guaranteed or if I just suck at mashing, but I'm pretty sure I was mashing through the whole combo :) . I pretty much got owned up.
His Hakumen s@rks though, it's like #R Testament all over again... except crapper... :) He didn't last long against the same sh!T I've been spamming since I was doing since I started playing... Hakumen seems like a really technical character that is built around knowing your opponents movements and cutting them off. Not like what XBAWKs does where he just jumps around aimlessly spaming jump and sweep moves... :)
Yeeup, that sounds about right. He murdered my new Ragna with his Tager but his Hakumen is lacking. The combos you're thinking of probably involve Tager's moves that give you a reaaaaaaaaally long recovery time, so don't bother mashing too hard. If you're lucky though you can get out of the last bit of a combo where he swings down at you while you're on the ground (relies on him mistiming it, but he does it sometimes).
Thanks for the info. Since its mostly guaranteed stuff, I can stop trying to mash out of it... :)
Tager is odd. Might just be me, but sometimes i can roll out of stuff and other times i cant, despite it being the same stuff. (might not be, im probably just shit)
Sounds like diablo is better than me now :( By a significant margin.
Hell no. If you'ld use what's his name Zappa/Eddie thing, you'ld kick my arse anyday.
I just do the same BS all day. And I do the EZ combos... :)
You guys pull off crazier sh!T than what I can comprehend. The only thing that lets me beat XBAWKs is that his playstyle is the same no matter what game he plays... So I know what he aims for. (But we all do know he aims to be a f@ggot... :) )
Too bad for him it didn't work in Tekken 5:DR, he only played me once, and has never touched that game again... :)
on a side note he sure loves to eat Taokaka's super leaping throw... :) He'ld probably eat it 2/3 rounds... ::) I LMAO when it actually caught him from a whole screen away...
Starting to get the hang of Carl. I have problems combo'ing off the doll/puppet command grab... >:( And his command dash is not as godly as I thought...
Carl is much harder to use than arakune. But fuck he looks fun. I wouldnt mind giving him a whirl. But any time i try something new, xbawks hat guy or that asshole white guy (not you HCO btw) comes and spoils it. Thats why i cant use Bang at all. :(
Bang looks hardcore. There is a Bang player on the latest batch of JOYBOX youtube match vids owning up everyone. Especially with that Bang Super Crash or whatchamacallit...
White guy as in the Jin Kisragi player? Is he still doing the same stuff?
Carl is pretty hilarious if you can get them in between you and Nirvana, if they don't know how to get out the pressure never ends. The problem is getting them there :|
That Joybox Bang player is sick too, the best I've seen yet. Does a really cool 3-mark combo and has some really amazing crossups/combos during Furinkaazan (the super saiyan mode) too
I'm gonna stick to learning Ragna for a while, gonna try and get some quality time in on Friday to learn the Blood Kain setups so I can pull out some ridiculous bullshit
I wonder how much buffering is needed when playing Carl... I bet it's difficult to pull off like Eddie's unblockable setups... :)
And I thought I had seen all the ridiculous Taokaka combos till I saw this vid...
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5762743
then I sh!T my pants...
Does anyone know the Yifan's Managers, or know how the Xbawks dude got in touch with them? I've been talking to baod (a dude who owns a Blazblue board in the US) and he says that the International version of Blazblue can be switched from Japanese to English. So we'd actually be able to read what our characters are saying, which would be okay by me.
Basically I want to ask the manager what version we have, and if he can change the language.
I know the Yifans technician guy. His name is Andy. You should go see him if you want it changed.

Pretty much all of us know him eh. :P
I only know the dudes who give me coins, lol. Does he stay at Yifan's during the day or anything? Maybe I could talk to him on Sunday or something.
Haven't seen him nowadays to be honest... Maybe he's on vacation... :)
Been playing against XBAWKs hat guy's Iron Tager, Noel, Rachael, etc in the evening...
Thanks to him, I can see all the abusable stuff they can do... But then it's not so abusable after the 2nd match... :) In fact, it turns into a liability... :)
I know it looks like suicide, but there is method behind the madness.
Too bad my combo and crossover execution is lacking. Give me a month of casual play and I can probably dominate once my tactics become flawless (or I hope it does)... Though I'ld still get killed by you guys I reckon...
The funniest thing today was, after a knowdown, I was just running into his Noel. He did Noel's super when he got up and I jumped over. So as he was shooting at nothing, I was standing behind him like an idiot... :) Then I did one hit and he quickly mashed the burst. After being hit by his burst, I got up and did his favourite signature move... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... and killed him with A... :)
Damn, whenever I go there's nobody to play. :<
I think some of us talked to Andy on Sunday while we were at Yifans, Hiro told him to put it on 3/5 rounds. Considering SFIV already is on 3/5, I dunno why BB isn't, so hopefully he does that.. still gotta ask him about english language though.

That's because they're making money off me on 2 rounds... :)
I spent $30 in one day last week. THe other guys like, try and stop me from challenging XBAWKs hat guy 100000000000000000 times... :D
Now I limit myself to $10 a day, then I go use my free games of Tekken 6 and DDR Supernova 2 at Timezone for the rest of the day... :D
I'm trying to get more players to play it, but it looks like this game will end up like #Reload and The Rumble Fish where only XBAWKs is playing with himself all day.

Yeah, I'm really worried that's going to happen because BB is goddamn awesome. Not many people want to play it though..
To best honest. I find it more scrubtastic than GGAC... And GGAC is more scrubtastic than GG #RELOAD... (Slash is too much of a trash game to be compared to the other Guilty Gears) You can easily use someone like Ragna or Noel and spam sh!T like there's no tomorrow... XBAWKs hat guy tried that with Hakuman and lost horribly... And I can't say that I've seen him use Hakuman ever again... :)
I was told to try use Ragna or some character along those lines to match him, but that's not how I roll... :)
In the end, BB is not balanced enough to be popular with the casual gamers due to the gap between certain characters, if not, all... And on another note, if you see XBAWKs hat guy playing a certain game, there is definately something wrong with the balancing in that game... (XX, SS Tenka, Rumblefish anyone?)
On a different note, what happened to that guy who actually KNOWs how to play Noel and doesn't just jump around spamming aimless hoping to get a stray hit for some ez combos?
QuoteOn a different note, what happened to that guy who actually KNOWs how to play Noel and doesn't just jump around spamming aimless hoping to get a stray hit for some ez combos?
He took up rachel. And i havent seen him in a while.
Im looking into rachel myself. I just hate her stupid cat/umbrella.
I like Rachel, because when XBAWK does the cat cannon thing, I just press D with Taokaka and start a combo... :) Plus her heavy air attack thing is really easy to instant block for some reason (unlike everything else I've experimented on instant blocking and getting raped in the process)... :)
XBAWKs was using Bang today. Pretty interesting chracter in match vids. Questionable when watching XBAWKs use him... Just like all his other characters, it's jump around aimlessly and hoping that spamming air attacks with huge hitboxes will get you the free combo.
Are there invulnerability frames after teching out? Because some of those air attacks he spams seem to beat out virtually anything after he techs out. It's like the Melty Blood teching system... :)
The game system is still sketchy to me... Maybe I should read the game system write up again... :)
You're invulnerable if you do neutral tech (don't move the joystick), but if you tech forward or backward you're vulnerable and can be hit out of it before you recover. So tech rolling out of a corner can be risky, gotta choose your moment correctly. I'm keen to get back to Yifans, wish I lived closer to town.

Thanks. Your info really helped today... Managed to escape pretty well from some of his tech traps. :) I've got his Iron Tager nailed. Now I just have to familiarise myself with what he tries to pull off when jumping and waiting around with Noel, Bang and Ragna. His Rachel and Hakuman are pretty EZ...
Having a full superbar pays... :) Taokaka's Wolverine super blocked, he comes in for the combo, buffer in Taokaka's supoer grab... LOL... Pretty scrubby and dumb tactics on my part... :)

Good stuff :)
Gotta warn you though, if your opponent is crouching, her pounce super will not hit. It doesn't matter where they are on the screen, it'll just whiff on crouchers.
JESUS CHRIST!!! Thanks for the heads up... I did not know that... :) It's a good thing that XBAWKs hat guy spends more time in the air than on the ground...
I keep on eating Iron Tager's spin super... :) The last hit being an overhead is trippy...
Yeah, the last hit does a ton of guardbar damage too, so it's best to stand up and Barrier Guard (Faultless Defense) it. The followup he can do is hella unsafe on block too, so that's something to remember. I don't know if xbawks dude knows about the followup though.

Well, I do get a free combo everytime I manage to block it, so I presume he knows the follow up? Link to a vid with the follow up, thanks? :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnem-4t1yTs
1:50 - 1:55, you'll see the extra super flash before the hit, it comes after the overhead of the spin super.
ps. do not do the combos in that video, nearly all of them are bad/outdated.
whoa... what in the blazing fark???!!! :)
on a side note, I can't get that bloody 8D after 236B,B of Taokaka's follow up combo on the throw... >:( as a matter of fact, I can't get bloody 8D after anything in the air... >:(
and Nirvana has an anti air super???!!! it's definately not on the movelist...
Dio's Carl Clover is nuts...
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5928010
edit: Carl 2C + Nirvana 8D = Volleyball madness...
Yay... Today was a good day to be a wanker... :)
Managed to really take the fight to XBAWKS hat guy... And he goes through every single character when he loses just like what he did in #RELOAD... (selects - Tager X2 -> Hakumen -> Jin -> Noel -> Ragna etc...)
Wanker moment of the day: Match Taokaka VS Ragna
Me: 6B, hold forward for 1 second...
XBHG: eats overhead and continues blocking...
Me: 6B, hold forward for 1 second...
XBHG: eats overhead and continues blocking...
Me: 6B, hold forward for 1 second...
XBHG: eats overhead and continues blocking...
Me: holding forward without attacking...
XBHG: 2AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
Plus A cancelling Taokaka's D into the grab super is awesome, because everytime you cancel D, he will jump, and will get caught by the super at point blank range... :D
The only thing that actually stopped my sh!tty win streak was that the buttons on my side were popping off... It's a good thing he stays a whole screen away since I have to try to jam the button back in... >:( I'm suprised I even got a streak with that sh!T going on...
p.s. ILL_BILL, Noel/Rachel guy and Hiroshi, you guys are next on my have to challenge and beat list... :)
wow this game looks n sounds awesome, is there a console release for this or is it only in arcades(and if so fuk dat lol)

And of course you wouldn't want to play it at the arcade... 2 round matches... $2 a game... It might turn out like Guilty Gear and you'll only have 2 @ssholes playing the game in 1 or 2 years time... Me, and XBAWKs hat guy...
This is my favourite fighting game at the moment, so I'll keep playing it. I just need more money :P
QuoteILL_BILL, Noel/Rachel guy and Hiroshi, you guys are next on my have to challenge and beat list...
You seem to think im gonna put up a decent fight. Im predictable and one dimensional. Its not gonna be tough.
i think i saw the white dude set it to three rounds now. i might start playing a little bit more.
3/5? Sweet. I have to go to town this week anyway.
V-13 is released, someone get this information to the tech guy. :o
1. Release Haku-men (already done on Yifans)
2. Enter TESTMODE -> BOOK KEEPING
3. Hold Button 1 + Button 2 + Button 4 for more than 10sec (Coin SE)
4. ??START???? (Coin SE)
5. Button1?????? (Coin SE)
6. Hold Button 3 + START for more than 5 sec (Challenger SE)
7. Exit the BOOK KEEPING mode and save the changes
Restart from step 3 if the command was not entered properly
I don't know what's more sad...
The fact that no one plays this game...
or
The fact that XBAWKs hat guy actually went down to check Timezone yesterday where all the Tekken crew was located. He must've wondered why I haven't challenged him that day... :D
Anyway, XBAWKs' Ragna is not going to save him for much longer since I'm already interupting his attacks and strings... and starting to instant block his strings for that matter... ;D
Still working on how to do the PROPER combos with Taokaka... >:(
Carl CLover volleyball combo with Nirvana is LOL... and kinda EZ... but then I was mashing... ;D
I'm gonna head out there tomorrow and play my Ragna a bit. Hopefully I catch an actual human opponent while I'm there o:

n TVC sweet?
XBAWKs hat guy started to play defensive Jin as his main now. Which is quite effective compared to his other characters. No suprise considering he is buddies with the resident Jin player.
But I'm too caught up in T6:BR right now since there are major card ranking events happening been demoted 6 times and promoted 5 times between 1st and 2nd dan, lol... Currently on 3rd dan... :D
Anybody have any new tid bits of interesting info?
Final boss unlocked...
XBAWKs hat guy was busy practicing with the final boss or something...
I'm not sure though because I just had a quick glance...
Was heading to serious business in terms of T6:BR ranks at Timezone... :)
Man, todays games against you know who were really inspiring... Managed to instant block most of his strings, though this game doesn't really reward precise blocking oddly enough...
My pressure game was good enough that I baited him into so many supers while I crossed over safely to combo his arse... :)
I think it's time to turn up the heat again... :) (unless there happens to be lots of card battles in T6BR at that time... It's practically $1 a game this month at Timezone...)
BTW, his V13 is kinda useless. Took me 5 matches to adapt and 3-nill a new character which he has been practicing for weeks or something along those lines... haven't really been to yifans lately... and if I did, it was only for 15minutes before I had to rush back to class after my 1 hour lunch break...
enough arsing from me for now... :)
p.s. I'm still disappointed not many people are actively playing this even though it's ez and scrubby... :)
Its because of how retardedly popular SF4 is.

Ah but, 360 is region locked - and no doubt it'll be jp only release?
I have a Japanese 360 so I don't really care. I have a friend in Japan who happens to be sending me SFIV as well. You might have heard about him, he's HeartNana on SRK.
PS3 will be region free and most likely you'll have more range of sticks to choose from, but whatever, I don't expect anyone here to play with me. I bought SF2HD and didn't get one invite.
Also, HCO, if you're reading this, you need to start saving for a 360.

Haha, if I'm around, sure thing :)
edit: Oh right, also depends if I've fixed my controller from randomly going "please reconnect controller". Stu can attest to how irritating it is...
Does anyone know who did the content for the bonus blu-ray?/dvd? in the limited edition?
I know some of its from Dustloop, but, that community is so disorganized at the moment, so I'm confused?
Dustloop is full of wankers, which is why I disbanded it... And ended up spending heaps of money on the game by figuring out combos through trial and error... :) I heard that some of the guys from shoryuken.com helped in the making of the DVD.
But if the DVD is anything as organised as Arcadia tutorial DVD's, it's definately worth getting if you're planning on starting the game. My friend is going to learn V-13. I did warn him that it is a BS game... But if he wants to learn, I can't stop him... :)
What you're paying for...
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bp-49-en-15-Blazblue-70-3d2k.html
Interesting to see another Taokaka player.
Yeah, Dustloop is full of wankers and threads that do not belong. Like one guy announcing Arakune is broken and shit, then the same day posting about how Carl is the best.
And yeah, I feel more at home playing Taokaka. I started using Millia in GG and never stopped, Tao feels more like her.. But I'll be honest, I've only tried Tao & Tagar so far.
I just got some information on the guides, they're being done by Doublejump. Not sure who they are, any insight?

By the look of it, it seems like Super Guilty Gear XX+alpha, there is a Potempkin looking char but I forget his name.

If you gots da ps3, you can order it from MIGHTYAPEEEEEE
There's a character who's a mix of Testament & Slayer, names Arakune. He's just a giant blob of goop and has the coolest voice in the entire game. (Mostly the laugh)
Who would be the straight up rushdown character?
Ummmmm.. Well, Taokaka has all the thrust attacks and is probably the fastest. So, Taokaka.
But I've seen the Japs straight up rush with most of the characters, mostly Litchi & Rachel.
K so now you can teach me how to play.... it?
Sure! Dustloop, learn it. :D
I just read "Tiger knee" I think I'm in love. What does "gatling" mean?
Uhh standing/crouching combo's that scale upwards in damage.. I think. To do with the games speed.
gatling combo is like chain cancelling in SF.
Ohhhh! Makes sense now <3
YEAH... ::) I don't play SFIV (yet) so.. yeah.. It's like, putting in one chip after another without stopping to swallow.

And yeah, I feel more at home playing Taokaka. I started using Millia in GG and never stopped
You sound like me and one of my friends that also used Millia. Just that he doesn't like Taokaka's looks... :)

I just got some information on the guides, they're being done by Doublejump. Not sure who they are, any insight?
Sounds like some cheesy US based publisher that will list stuff that is obvious... :)
Not bad against a Potemkin. Never liked playing against him, still don't.
LOL, one of your YouTube videos, the part of Rocket Girls with New Zealand in it. I remember that. And I also remember being amazed we were in it.
I looked up on the Doublejump stuff, they seem reputable. Just doesn't look like they've ever done a fighting game guide.

o-o; Well it was funny regardless.
8 DAYS TO GO.
I thought it comes out in a few days time... ???
Interesting to see a few Hakumen players.
It seems that the more you hit him, the more damage he dishes out. Coubled with reversals, it seems like a really good combination
Hiroshi's Litchi makes me... >:( Because I sark now and my generic combo didn't work on Litchi... :)
25th in America, July 3rd for us, extended from the 30th of June.
I keep having trouble beating Tagers..... :'(
Just dropped $140 on this from Mightyape, lookin good.
Don't think I'll be learning Tekken so it's SFIV and BlazBlue for me in 09
Not bad choices, I think a few ppl here will be picking up BB

Good man we need more people playing this sick game.
I'll be grabbing BlazBlue in the next week or two. I'm waiting for a copy to turn up on trademe. If none turn up by mid next week I'll grab one off Mightyape.
Yeah, and the regular edition. If it ever does get an import here. Will be $130 as well.
There's a party feature in BlazBlue, if you guys didn't read up on it yet. I think it's 6 people can be in it, 4 spectators. Two people playing, and you take turns fighting. Can pass turns etc. Looked really good from the live feed I watched.
I think that's a pretty damn cool feature. And a good way to watch each others progression.
First Games has this in stock in NZ already for $125! Ordering tonight!
http://www.firstgames.co.nz/shop/playstation3/blazblue-calamity-trigger
Damn two threads going at once.
im jealous and want to come and hungous a turn on your guys ones :(
That room shit is real awesome! It'll be cool to get feedback and stuff especially since we're all pretty new
I'm at my parents till' August, if you're near the Franklin District. You're welcome to come leech some turns.
Make sure if your playing the PS3 version to throw up your PSN ID in the thread I made so I can add you all.

which didn't get the US limited ed release, just to clarify.
But guys it's k. You can leach the limited DVDs off me, if they're complicated to copy would you mind giving me a hand at Xlan, Alan?
I don't anticipate taking a computer to xlan, but I'm sure we can get them copied. I know I'd love a copy!
hrmm i guess ill wait for mightyape's release on july 3rd. sf4 pc and blazblue on the same day :D
Just calle dthem and it's the Japanese version. They are getting the U.S version at the end of the week and it will be $125, still cheaper than Mightyape so I'm going to wait.
The opening cinematic song single is pretty good. (If you like KOTOKO)
Ao-iconoclast by KOTOKO.
Gonna main Rachel
& maybe Tager (don't normally like Grapplers) :)
Yep, goin by looks I would be maining Rachel too.
Not having seen much gameplay though, I guess we'll see haha
Mighty ape now says July 6 :'(
What. The. Fuck. Bullshit. Does anyone know why?
What the fucking hell.. This was suppose to be out today. I'm not going to have as much time to play it now before leaving because of these fools.
Fuck I'm pissed now. D<
Also, when the date changed to July 3rd I asked and 'Katey' said that the dates subject to change because it's an import title... If they secured an order for these ages ago, what the hell is holding it up?
Ugh, rural delivery will probably delay it another day, three max.
I'll have like 10 or 15 days play, if they don't keep delaying it.
Yeah, the thing is when it was delayed to the 3rd, playasia ect all got delayed to the 3rd too so I was like meh, nothing they could've done. This time none of the other sites are delayed so I'm actually pissed off and wanting a reason
Yeah, I was like.. Three days, not so bad. That's delayed from the original 25th release, same as Japan. (Total lie on Aksys part) Now it's the 6th.. 11 days longer.
I just wanna know wtf is up with them changing the date when the other sites didn't. I'd call them myself if I wasn't a receptionist
I messaged them already, hopefully I get a reply SOON. I was pretty hostile in my message, haha. Layin' some ground.
Yeeeah! Give them da smackdown! We should drive loop them just for doing that!
Barrier burst these shit cunts off the harbor bridge!
POST NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ON THEIR SITE!!!! o.o

Bro chill out, it's probably completely out of their control. Shipping from Japan/US might have been delayed. Customs does spot checks on stuff like this so it could be held up at the wharf. There are a lot of reasons why this could be delayed that are beyond their control.
It's not like an official distributor has broken a set release date, Mightyape are going out of their way to import games for us, going above and beyond what other stores offer or are prepared to do. Getting pissed at them isn't going to make them want to process your order any faster haha.
We just want a reason. Right now it seems like they've fucked up, if they give us a valid reason we'll be like "Ohhhhhh"
Got a reply, same as the last. Seems like they know the specifics to delay but probably can't say why. She put sad faces in the message this time. Haha.
It said stock is arriving this weekend... You may be able to pick it up from the warehouse if you're keen. I can't unfortunately because my friend ordered it for me on his acc and he's in Europe atm lol
You mean like.. the Saturday coming, or Saturday been... ?
The coming one. I did it with Disgaea 3 when they imported it. Almost every import game I order from them gets delayed =(
Yeah I'll probably get it on Tuesday or Wednesday next week then.
My friend got me mine as well (for my birthday) so I can't pick it up. :P
Gunna rent out SF4 for the wait.
man there goes my plans for the weekend >:(
might also have to dust off SFIV or even SCIV :o
How's SCIV? O-o
I vote... YIFANS PARTEH! We can get Squares and Diablo to scrub out all the people who come to challenge our machine dominance
While you guys do that, I'll keep waking up the dude at the counter. Who's always sleeping.
SCIV is annoying as it doesn't support trophies. But my daughter loves being able to dress up all the chars :)
Anyway back to watching BB vids & live streams ( http://www.justin.tv/escapingjail )

"Kupo?"
I watched that stream a week or so ago when he was doing the Party stuff. Good shit! ;D
Yeah likewise, unfortuntately now most people are worried Nu is overpowered
Naah. And if she's broken she'll be banned from tournaments, simple.
I tend to agree, though it has sort of put me off playing as her (shame as she looks aswesome). I guess once everybody has learned how to block her D button sword spam then things will be different. I did see a well played Noel and Litchi wipe the floor with Nu and even a vid of Tager winning (though that was amazingly close).
Well seeing what Toomeke was doing with her despite his noobishness at the game, makes her seem very scary.
Of course Toomeke is scary as well.
With Tao's drive loop, do they follow each drive up with a normal, or just cancel into the next drive until you do the aerial claw thing?
Post from Aksys
"KanedaGS from Aksys here... I thought I'd just chime in here to say that a patch is coming for the PS3 which will address the online issues some of you may have experienced, we're just waiting on the requisite approvals. Also, some localization issues were fixed as well as the addtion of double-blind selection in ranked matches. Oh, and for you rage quitters, if you do it enough times you'll get a redflag on your PSN name in the game. You may now go about your business."
all sounds good

Don't know much about Taokaka but you could try here
http://s1.zetaboards.com/blazblue/pages/taokakacombo/
Yeah mael linked the holy grail for information on the characters. Dustloop & SRK just have variations of the info there.
Umm, not many people use Nu. By many, I mean the Japanese. There's been no obvious reason but it could be her being to strong. It's also the first week BB's out in America so expect some people to be confused about the blocking if they've never played a Guilty Gear game. "AIR BLOCKS WHUT?"
But that's probably not going to cut it still, openings and invincible frames help a shit tonne as well. Also rolling.
went into Yifans today - first time, man that place is huge.
Anyway witnessed the arcade version of BB for first time - WOW!!, it can't come soon enough now - so beautiful :)

When did I become a mercenary? I don't really mind though... :) I'll probably be back to visiting Yifans after the Tekken 6 Regionals tomorrow...
COMES OUT TOMORROW! (I've been non-stop playing SFIV for PC though... it's really really good) >_<;;
Man I hope so (or at least hope it ships tomorrow), I keep looking at MightyApe expecting them to say now July 20 or some crap. All the pissed of Canadian threads have got me worried.
True. They said they expected stock over the weekend. Guess we'll find out Monday if it came in or not..
Soent the weekend at Smooflan playing mostly this. Wow what a great game.
Got pwned by smoof and toomeke most of the time, but im looking forward to picking this up. Learning Carl atm. He seems like a bit of a struggle due to his shit normals, but I shall continue my struggle!
Carl sounds like the hardest to learn - with negative edge button presses & controlling 2 guys at once.
But looks to have some made combo's including an unlimited.
Gonna attempt to main Rachel - but fully expect to get my butt kicked for a while as sounds like she is also difficult to learn.
Yeah i managed to get his "loop" and his throw loop.
Its just hard setting some of the characters up.
Will be better when I have a copy at home to practice on.
Rachel is simpler than you think. She seems complex with all her projectiles, but youll get it easy enough. Shes no ragna/jin, but anybody can learn those 2 in about an hour, so its kind of a dumb comparison. I should get back into this now that y'all are playing it. But I couldnt even remember the buttons last time i tried >_<
Easy to learn, hard to master.
You're all going to pass me in skill if I don't get my game soon. *Sob*
Pre-order: Releases 7 Jul 09, delayed by another day.
The end of the world is near. :(
HEY WE DELAYED YOUR BLAZBLUE.... ANOTHER DAY! Whyyyyyy?
damn >:(
I don't feel as bad since it seems as if firstgames is having the same problem. I was looking forward to getting this today though... Suddenly my day seems so sad :'(
I was looking forward to a comfy couch, big TV, controller & some BlazBlue action.
Has anyone asked them what the deal with this is? I'm curious as to whether it's customs or something
I think they're delaying to sell stock now.. Site says 'Limited Stock Left' now.
:'( That's just mean
That would suck if true, but at least that means we get one unlike the poor sods in Canada whose preorders couldn't all be met.
But some of them were. I'm pretty sure Squares and I were some of the first people in NZ to make the pre order through them
I pre-ordered like.. the day that it went up for pre-order on MightyApe.
I pre-ordered before you kids even knew what the internet was
;)
I preordered 10th of June, should be ok (I hope) as it has climbed the sales rank quite a bit since then.
I pre ordered on the bulletin board whilst dling my freeware Duke Nukem 1
ok next smooflan im coming...
Xlan is the next Smooflan! I claim that lan in the name of Smoof!

next next smooflan then :'(
I haven't dealt much with MightyApe in the past, if it gets "released" tomorrow does that mean I can expect to receive it tomorrow ? (I live in Ak) or will it go out over night & turn up Weds / Thurs ?
Cheers
If they've already got it in their warehouse then yes, tomorrow. You can generally expect same day delivery :3
If you live in Auckland, expect it. If you're rural, expect it one or two days after the 7th.
Anyway, next BlazBlue LAN is SquaresLAN. ;D
Cool cheers guys, might have to work from home tomorrow :)
Squareslan Hooo! Squares and Smoof up in that Ho! Watch them drive loop watch them own! I can't link up B but I can mash jab into throw

Sweet. I pick up my copy on Wednesday. Just ordered it today.
Where in Franklin do you live by the way? I used to live out near there.
Uhh, if you're meaning me. Waiuku.
Does anyone know if they actually have the copies in the warehouse or not? I'm just worried since the acc I ordered it off wasn't mine and my friend is now in Amsterdam =_=
I could ask, LOL. But I wouldn't get an answer you want. Probably assume I'm planning some BlazBlue heist or something.
Ask them anyway!

Omg Albany is where Mighty Ape is! Go smash them!
I just asked if I could go pick it up tomorrow.
But I doubt they will allow it, can't hurt to ask though.
Pickup is one of the options when you go to the checkout on the mightyape site so I don't see why they wouldn't let you pick it up if you called them.

Yeah cool, I didn't know that. Ive changed my order to pick up. They said I would be notified when its ready.
Do you guys reckon we'll get it tomorrow?
No. ???
Would also be cooool if you guys who're getting could put your names in the thread in the PSN Network section. Gunna' add all of you and get a party thing going so we can all try out the online!
Delayed once again?
Well I'm gonna ring First Games today. I ordered yesterday and their site said it was in stock. I'll post up if I have any luck.
Mighty Ape says due today.... If they had stuff in their warehouse in the weekend, what could possibly be delaying it?
It will probably ship today
I'll be ringing them a bit later to see if they have it so I can go round and pick up.

I sent them another message. I just want to know if it's in the damn country, sitting in the warehouse or being sent out to people.

Actually my fingers jizzed over the buttons a few weeks ago. That's why one sides broken.
Tomorrow, I finish work at 12pm. Im going to drive to Greenlane and get my copy of the game.
THen head to the airport to get stereomonkey.
Then go home and BLAT!!!!
Such a fucking good game. Ive spent the last few days watching as many Carl videos as possible.
So.... You finish work at 12, get a cool guy from the forums possibly get a game before us and then just play for like infinity hours? I really do hate you.
Just spokee to Mighty Ape, they are still in Customs, they are hoping to receive them this afternoon.
Somehow I'm less upset now, thanks man.

Funny thing is that with my inlaws sleeping in the PS3 room (hooked up to projector) i'll likely get sod all play time in before the weekend.
Vampire hunter D was cooler.
Yeah good call, love that movie

"Unfortunately this won't be in till the morning (fingers crossed) as it has been held up in customs.

wtfffff Over a week delay =_= Will it get to us tomorrow, or will they get it tomorrow and we'll get it thursday?
i reckon earliest we can expect it is thursday since it usually takes a day to post ><
ive heard really good cases where people got their items the day the item shipped, if it was in the morning, though
The Smoof is not pleased. This is killing my week *cry*

EXCELLENT, means I can go pick it up today :)
IN STOCK makes me happy.
Your Mighty Ape order has shipped
Good news... your order has been dispatched and is now on its way to you! Here are the details:
Does this mean.... today? I don't know cause my friend who ordered it for me is in Amsterdam =_=
Tomorrow probably, Smoof. And for me.. Friday.. I HOPE...

This game is pretty nuts
am starting with Rachel - pulled a few crazy combo's though not to sure how :)
Great fun though
Make sure auto recover is on if you're in training dude :3
Not saying you haven't done combos, just saying lots of people are like LOOK AT MY INFINITE when the guy isn't on recover
14mb patch was the longest wait of my life
Hahahaha at least you've got yours! >:(
Nope was playing Arcade mode.
Currently getting my butt kicked by Nu - I sense many online losses coming by way of her :(
Haven't gone online yet, will do that soon to get the patch.
Well my first BB session is over ;D
Had to drop the difficulty as Normal Nu-13 best of 3 was proving to be a big pain vs Rachel.
Then spent the rest of the time in Training working on a few combos etc.
And after watching this vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2_yxrxLrTI
I can safely say I have many many hours practice to go.
Some massive strings to remember. Very fun though.
Welp, Play-Asia's sold out, so I'm forced to pay the extra and go with FirstGames. Oh well. My PSN is elixir68k, so if anyone's interested in playing, feel free to add me. Maybe you should also tell me where you're from, since I don't actively seek out people to add, and since the PSN doesn't allow you to enter a location.
OK this might seem like a weird question but which button layout does Yifans use for this game and which one do you use?
Type A Layout (SNK style)
(B) (C) (D)
(A) (x) (x)
Type B Layout (Melty Blood style)
(A) (B) (C)
(D) (x) (x)
I ask because I learnt to play Guilty Gear XX on a button layout different to the one at Yifans so when I went in to play I had real problems adjusting to the layout.
As I understand it, you can select it in the arcade game as well (A or B)
I set mine up as Type B.
But yes I also understand that you can select either option in the arcade (at least thats what I am seeing in the youtube vids).
I dunno why but somehow I keep thinking you use block button in this game (weird as the most recent game ive been playing is SF4), so I keep hitting D to block and then flying all round the screen with Rachel's silpheed :)
LOL. Damn drive button. No drifting involved here though.
I also think I may have had Drive and throw (B+C) assigned to the same button because every time I tried to use D up close I would throw them which didn't seem right.
It's so weird being almost completely new to this game.
The Blu-Ray that comes with the game is awesome for someone like me, can't wait to get a chance to watch it properly on the weekend!
I want to learn the girl with the guns, don't know her name? I just want to use her because she looks cool. I know nothing about tiers, matchups or anything for this game yet. I'm not used to being THIS scrubby when I pick up a new fighting game :-[
I don't think I'll be trying to play anyone online until at least after the weekend. I'm going to be watching a lot of youtube this weekend.
Noel! :) I watch Niconico videos, they setup combos better and it's better to learn it the effective way like that.
Well, that's what's worked for me.
I still don't have my copy, didn't turn up in the mail today.
Thats Noel
Fomr what I hear she is quite newb friendly with a lot of combo options off her Drive.
I personally think I am in for a really bad win/loss ratio for a long time as both Nu & Jin look like really bad matchups for Rachel - esp Nu.
But Rachel is fun so i'm ok with it - still thinking who to invest time on as a secondary.
Once you've got your ground game under control as Rachel, they'll find it hard to even approach her.
YES I GOT IT. WOOT. *Unwraps*
EDIT: GOD.. SO HAPPY. *Wiggles*
BLAZBLUE CHALLENGE TONIGHT GUYS! GET HYPE! Taokaka hoooooo
Now. I got to go play this forever. bye
Good stuff
heh my first encounter with Nu (Normal difficulty) had me boxed in the corner sending out frogs "go get her George" :)
If I did anything else I got raped by swords.
After some time in the training room though I see what you mean about her ground game - she has the ability to get in real fast and potentially do huge damage (when I learn some bigger combo's), but she is definitely a zoner though.
Jin's freezing is hard to deal with but he is a bit easier than Nu.
Jin's freezing is more just cause you don't have much experience man, once you l2 tech ect you'll be beasting Jins in no time
Yeah i'm a complete newb & there are a number of techniques which I haven't even tried yet and i'm still reading about new ones :)
I'm just posting my experience so far - admittedly only against the AI, but Nu & Jin are scary ;D and it sounds like Jin is the most popular online.
Luckily there is a ton of good info on dustloop
And heh my 5 year old daughter was running around inside with an umbrella last night pretending to throw frogs ;D (she was also keen I chose a pink colour palette)
Just track\traced and my copy is at home in the mailbox!
But I'm at work!@!@!
Totally going home at lunch for it
:( BlazBlue is a 4 button layout game ? I'm hereby boycotting :(
=( It's really 3 button + 1 =P
It really is just A+B+C and D is like the 'Make everything look cool' move.
AND FUCK ME PS3 CONTROLLER IS CRAP. No matter, I'll keep at it.
The bonus disc is quite nice!, it's just annoying to watch it.. (forget long combo string) and be playing.
Anyway, only back to grab the names from the thread in the PSN Networks sub-forum to add all of you. :3
Time to buy a stick then ;)
4 buttons is plenty
Who are you planning on maining Squares ? (EDIT actually looking at your Avatar I think thats obvious)
How many of you guys are going to be playing this at Xlan?
I'm going to come *cough* spectate and meet those of you who are going to xLan.
Just spent, I dunno. From 9 a.m. until now playing BlazBlue. Done 90% of Taokaka's story arc. Tried Ragna's but I can't play him for SHIT. He's so slow and I know nothing about him. Anyway, I've been experimenting with some Taokaka combos, I also tried the ones the bonus disc exampled. One of them is a total waste of heat gauge but awesome to see.
This PS3 controllers wearing my thumb down though, inputs hard with it as well.
Need to borrow a stick or something, haha. Oh yeah, the replay thing is wicked. Downloaded a few of the top ranking Taokaka players. It's sooo much better than going to YouTube or Niconico, all top players are Japanese for me. Would seem they've put New Zealand in Japan's region for online play...
At home with my copy now, ballin!

Totally missed this post. Very cute! Wouldn't want to get hit by that frog though, quite a shock. The pink colour palettes actually match pretty much EVERY character in this except Tager. I keep accidentally picking this black/orange ear palette for Taokaka, so I stuck with it.
So we all gonna jumponline tonight for some BB fest?
Set it to 2 rounds winner stays and all of us jump on ventrillo. WIll help us analyse our matches and level up some.
I'll be on around 9 - 10, unless I put it on the SD TV. >_<
I'll be at Stu's so... FAK U
damn i'd really love to - but my in laws are sleeping in our PS3 room :'(
so getting sod all time on it at the moment.
I'll be getting a PS3 mic soon so i'll be using that when I am on as my PC is miles away.
Yeah gotta learn to combo that frog in :)
I got mine yesterday.
But I have no PS3...
Anybody want to lend a bro a PS3? :)
The music CD's are good enough for the meantime anyway... :)
You could probably get a cheap PS3 off TradeMe, or something.
Actually, I just checked for you. 80gb PS3 for $400 (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Gaming/PlayStation-3/Consoles/auction-229274371.htm). I paid $550 for my 60gb last December, so this is a really good price.

"excellent condition but has no controller"
Is it possible to navigate through it using a HORI stick? That's the only PS3 controller I have...
"Feilding, Manawatu"
Ridiculous shipping cost... maybe... anyway I'll look into it, thanks.
You can use PS2 devices with a PS2 to USB adapter. The one I used for my PC works with my PS3, so things like HRAPs will work. USB Saturn pads will also work directly.
I'm getting one of these http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-2xsu.html
QuoteRecommended for fighting, action, shooting, FPS, and other games that are available through PlayStation Network.
Uh.
There's not much point in doing that, unless you don't have a PS2. Otherwise you're just cutting yourself off from accessibility. They sell PS2 -> PS3 adapters without any lag whatsoever. And if you have nVidia drivers, PC support is out as well. Oh, and it requires modding, since it comes with Hori parts. This is assuming that you like Sanwa sticks to begin with.
Thankfully modding a HRAP is a painless experience (unless you don't have the right tools to get the bolts off, in which case, it's a huge pain).

Thats the stick I have (its good), I also modded it with Sanwa buttons which I got from Lizardlick.
I don't have a PS2. I've played on a HARP3 already, I like the buttons and the stick.
If I have to replace the buttons it's no big deal, I've the right tools.
Already researched the stick plenty.
hmm i cant seem to do rachels combos that have dashes in them.. opponent just gets up. is there some sort of trick, or do i just have to practice and get the timing down? cause its damn hard :c
Most the combos don't require huge timing. Not familiar with Rachels though :(

Yeah they are hard, I am also struggling a bit with them and also the ones that require super jumps.
Ive memorised about 4 combo's so far that range in damage from about 1700 - 3200.
Plus most combo's can have a 2B or 2A added in front for a low mixup though the overall damage drops due to proration.
Got alot more practising to do :) especially in matches to see how useful these combo's actually are.
The Dustloop guys don't think much of the ones's on the Bluray and have completely ignore them for their combo lists.

yeah i heard about the bluray combos being subpar, what a pity. im having trouble pulling off combos that have dashes after frog or projectile launching, and following that up with 3C or 22A.. :(
ditto with the dash
I will hopefully get some time tonight to practice & i'll specifically see if I can get the dash working (I haven't tried it much) & let you know how that goes.
well ive just been practising and buggered if I know how to get the dash to work.
Same deal with combos using instant air dash.
Guess i'll have to watch some vids & research some more.
Have you managed to do any combos with george ?
I have just discovered this baden lilly setup which is pretty fun (& simple)
6A 321 4D 6C (do it all real fast)
sounds good, ill give it a go ;D
and i just managed to pull off a few frog combos, namely
B, CDC, 214A, dash, 3C, 236A (frog hits), 214B, 3C
i realised that where all moves can be buffered and doesnt require strict timing, the input for dash cant be buffered. so this means you really have to watch rachel and as soon as she sets the frog you dash and 3c. getting this pause into muscle memory shouldnt take too long :D
Yeah thats sort of the one I was trying.
I did find you can start it a number of different ways & put an extra 5B into it.
But I have never got the dash to work & keep the combo going (sometimes it looks close). Do you have all the techs turned on in training mode ?
Does it do much damage ?
I was a little concerned that if the dash is a sod to time that it will only be worse online.
Online lags for the first 15 seconds, then when the fight starts there is zero input lag. Not sure how it works.

yeah i turned on all the techs, and most of rachels frog loops have one or two dashes so we're going to have to nail it down pretty good. does tonnes of damage :D
Thats good regarding online - I had heard the netcode was excellent (esp after the patch).
Well I guess I need to go practice the frog & dash stuff more.
Just finished Rachel's story (100%) - interesting, definitely need to do everybody else now to know what the hell is going on :)
Finished Ragna's pretty funny - esp the Dine & dash :)
Well played a few online matches in the weekend - yep the netcode is quite impressive, still some small input lag vs some but generally alot better that anything I have experienced in SF4 (not including NZ matches - which are good in SF4).
So far everything is going to plan - ie I am getting my butt kicked :)
did ok against a lvl 20 Tao player - got a couple of round wins but lost both matches.
Then got crushed by Tager.
Then played ranked match vs a lvl 20 Jin - wasn't as bad as I was expecting though still lost.
The game plays so fast (esp vs Tao) that my game plan goes south pretty quick :)
After doing Ragna's story I found him way easier to use - but I will stick with Rachel.
Haha, yeah. Expect to be punched in the face a bit the first few months as the rankings iron themselves out.
My copy just arrived. PSN is elixir68k, add me, I'm off to play.
Well at least I got the "Be Gentle... It's My First Time." trophy ;D
iMagneto took my copy home form XLAN by mistake the rat!
Will be online loads when I get it back.
I'm might be getting this game too, any place/website that has this game? I saw a limited edition blazblue at first games for $124.99, is it worth it?
That's the cheapest I have seen it locally so yeah its worth it.
MightyApe have it for $140 and I think playAsia have run out of the limited edition.
Its a great game
Haven't seen anyone on the PSN yet. :<
I'll be on tonight hopefully

Yeah I played heaps of awesome games with Ben on Sunday morning. Got a lot of practice to get in.
I have yet to see any Aus/NZ players as well. Just Japanese with 1 bar and a bunch without bars at all.
I had been doing the story mode offline
but I guess i'm ready to get trashed online now :) I think my Rachel is getting better
I'll try and be online when i'm playing from now on.

You gotta be DD litchi then, make that pole useful
I'll be keen, won't get a clear run though until after 8:00 (once our daughter is in bed)
P.S I don't have a MIC or PC near my PS3 so i'll be stuck with the PS3 text chat.
i'll hopefully have a PS3 MIC tomorrow.
That's the time when most of us are on anyway so gg :3

Do you guys have a mic ?
Damn I hate PS3 text
gg Toomeke (more in the PSN feedback thread)
Jump on Vent bro. We all on there atm
So waste of time buying a PS3 mic then ?
I don't have a headset/mic for PC so should I get one of those instead ?
Will mean I will have to move a laptop into the gaming room (I can do that).
If my G35 headset works then I have a mic =P
So does Ventrilo do text chat ? as my old laptop's sound card is arse.
(maybe I should buy that PS3 mic).
P.S
Chose Hakumen as an alt - been trying him out and he's pretty cool.
So will use him more than Rachel until I get more familiar with the char's combo's and the game in general (still practicing with her though).
I also tried Tager - jeez than guy does monster damage (real soviet damage ;D )- but I am only good at doing 360's / 720's in one direction so have left him for now.
God damnit. I bought two of these and my friend bailed on me.
If someone wants the PS3 LE I'll sell it for $120 shipped. PM me.

not confirmed yet, but hmm...
That would be cool, help grow the BB community
Just found out Blood Kain doesn't kill Rawgna - to my detriment :)
AI used it with basically no health left - I was like "ha ha fool" backed off - and then "hey what the" when he kept advancing and I lost.
Haha i know flux and i have got our fingers crossed.

Way cool Rachel combo vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z625-691tSY&feature=channel_page
I don't seem to be getting very far with Taokaka at the moment. Having trouble with linking aerials.
At least she has a triple jump :)
Ive started getting Rachels air combo's working better, though more often than not they go black instead of a true combo staying red. Still finding them hard to setup.
But having fun with Hakumen - he can do as much damage in 1 hit as Rachel can in a whole combo :o
Taokaka is on hold. Playing Noel now, she feels more rush-down. And I LOVE RUSH.
I'm getting fucked over by jump in grabs still.
So how far can you you guys get in Time attack ? (without using 2nd controller trick)
I get nowhere using Rachel (yeah still working on her).
But managed up to Noel (5th fight) with Hakumen.
Also been training vs Lvl 100 Rawgna - pretty nuts, but is helping.
I'm training against my Japanese friend Heero. He plays Arakune.
Is he pro!? Hook a Smoof up
Ive played a bit with Arakune after doing his Story mode.
I can see great power in that char, some crazy mixups.
It would take some getting used to vs a good Arakune - as its hard to know what the hell is going on initially.
edit - know any pro Rachels ? :)
Ashee and that new guy in our PSN thread are both quite good
Haven't played Ashe yet.
Rachel is starting to click, I can't yet pull off any frog combo's with any sort of reliablility (it sucks they are char dependent) or guard crush corner rapes - & her pokes are so damn slow that its really hard vs someone like Ragna, though I can take the occasional round from lvl 100 Ragna in training - think i'm finally learning how to block some of his attacks - he's got what looks like an overhead except that hits low - damn thing gets me all the time.
Omg that took me ages to get used to -_-;; The one where he lifts his sword up, then stabs you in the foot? I hate that so much
Its his 2D ( I just tried it using him) - I hate it.
His 6C also hits low (then 2nd hit juggles) but at least it looks like its going to hit low.
Finally seem to be getting Rachels air combo's to stay red (at least one of them anyway), funny as on the ground some of her combo elements can have some strict timing, but in the air it seems just do it as fast as possible otherwise it goes black and they can tech out.

You wouldn't happen to be that guy who uses the orange coloured Hakumen? I'm the scrub Taokaka player that uses scrub combos and scrub setups.
Nope not me ive not played BB at Yifans or used Hakumen online yet.
I use the white & light blue palette.
& Scrub is an attitude not level of skill :)
Anyone that says you spam moves or throw to much etc etc (has all the excuses) is a scrub (thats my view anyway).
But I know what you mean coz I have a hellishly hardtime trying to setup anything with Rachel :(

This game reminds me of mvc2 in balance stupidness
Ah well, hakumen forever...
Its not too bad. 6 different characters in the top 8.
Yeah played this a bit at Smoofs house. Kinda wanna get into it, but don't have the money. Pretty fun gaming even though I was spamming out lots of shit. Yay Hakumen is cool

Play! We shall be rivals!
MUAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!
I hope Pedro picks it up. Hakumen beats the scrub rush down... stupid sword
Just finished Tager's story
damn funny stuff - make sure you beat Bang with a distortion finish for a great ending ;D
Just played a really good Jin player at Yifans. He also used Rachel and played Abel in SF4. Someone from around here?
He seemed kinda bent on beating me though since he left after the 3rd match, which he won. ???
How good was his Rachel ?
thats a char that takes some time to master - hopefully I can put some effort in now I have finally finished the story mode for everyone

He's not from here. I think he's wasted over $100 trying to beat me at SF4 and Blaz. The best Rachel around here is Nagato who does the damager everytime
That would be Euan 'Nagato' Mccaffery to you haha

Saw the Hakumen player on Friday. He has definately improved a lot. But I was suprised that the Jin player choked quite a bit against his Ragna.

The PAL version doesn't come out till next year. So that will be a long wait for a reply ;)
Hmm... does DLC content for different regions work? Like, most of us have the JAP/US/Asia import, when DLC comes out for the Euro/Pal version, will they work on our versions?
Edit @ Stereomonky: Whatever bro. Us PS3 players can get the DLC off the U.S PSN store because we're all playing the U.S version of the game.
I had a look at the DLC on the U.S store and decided I'm not paying for a couple of palette swaps.
Pinolicious: Some DLC is region locked some isn't. Most EA games, Little Big Planet and Street Fighter 4 are all locked.
I would only buy DLC for the region game you have which is why if I'm importing I prefer to get the U.S version as I have credit for the U.S PSN store. The Asian (well Jap and Hong Kong) ones are a bitch to use plus then I'd have to put money on a third store account.

Don't mean to go off-topic:
I've tried making an account for the US PSN store, but then it gives me grief cause I have to provide a US address. I haven't attempted this lately, is it any easier now?
I love Blazblue!
Just use university address. That's what I did =P
God damn Unlimited Ragna is a major PITA!
managed to get up to him in Time attack using Hakumen & then had to give up - couldn't even get 1 round off him.

Ahh, I thought the new characters coming out on the Euro version WERE the downloadable content. Silly me :-[
I haven't played BB for so long. Don't have my PS3 in Uni yet, hopefully getting Sep 12th, I need my fix.
Was gonna pick a copy end of September. Might think about waiting for a bit now and just see what the PAL regions get.
But Hmmmmmm new moves and characters? It would make sense if it's DLC otherwise other regions with different moves would suck big time. What would suck more is if it was region locked online like stupid Tekken DR. If the online is as good as everyone says I'd rather get random challenges from Asia, US and such rather than from the other side of the world.
Also any idea who's distributing it here in NZ? I pavement art enquiry might be in order.
Also you guys might want to hit them up with tourney ideas to help promote the game. Maybe have an instore tourney/exhibition match to create hype some hype amongst the norms who haven't even heard of it.
I'ts almost a certainty anything new the Euro edition gets will be DLC for U.S / Asia. But that will mean having to purchase from the U.S store (which is a PITA) as normally that DLC would not be available in our stores. Though I am hoping they realise how many imported copies there are and will therefore make that DLC more easily available to everyone - share the love.
Will have to wait and see I guess.
No idea who will be distributing it.
It won't be out until next year anyway and worse case if I have to buy a 2nd copy - I will ;)
the game rocks
They wont release it in NZ stores. I'm willing to bet money on it. PAL ver or US store.
Ok ive taken up Litchi
Any good Litchi players out there ?
So far I think her game suits me alot better than Rachel or Hakumen.
Its alot easier to get an offence going.
Hiroshi like to use Litchi . But he stop playing at yifan....
I been practising Tagger instead of my fav Bang character...(*__*) hard to learn.
I am / was very tempted by Tager.
He's the first grappler that really appeals to me.
But I do struggle with 360 / 720 when facing a certain direction for some reason - need more practice I guess.
But he does HUGE damage.

Same situation with me. the only time i did the 360 when i was about to wake up from a stun .Still very hard to set up.he's not like Zangift , when u jump press lp on da way down u enter 360 it happened to grab opponen . But this one ....timming is slighly....so different. :-\
Other than that man he really does alot of damage when everything connected. 8)

eah your meant to use it as a punisher, Or off his many stun moves. There are also setups into it that use the magnetism to suck them into it after a seequence.
Taiboas figured out a pretty evil mixup with it.

Yeah the only reason we PS3 players have it is that the Asian/U.S PS3 version is not region locked (unlike the 360 version).
There has been no EU PS3 release yet either - comes next year with extra chars / moves (as will the 360 ver).

Reminds me of the Hitler youtube vid... :)
Meanwhile, hunting for a fat PS3. Because the only things that should be slim are diet products and tampons. All the bloody shops in town seem to have discarded their fat stock in favour for the crappier PS3...

Probly a big brown one!
I don't see how smoof can be doubting the awesomeness of a flying cock.
I imagine as they are flying they make a similar noise to a fish flopping around out of water.
Man I love Litchi - so much more libertaing not having to worry about wind or Haku stars.
Anybody got any good methods / tips for iad (instant air dash) on a stick ?
I really struggle with it - but so many chars have combo's that need it.
uf, uf
or
uf, f
just gotta get used to it
I didn't realise uf uf would IAD, I had been doing uf f - which I have problems with - big PITA. I'll give it a go - cheers
well uf uf doesn't seem to work. guess i'll just to have to practice more with uf f.
It would be great if the training mode had an online simulation mode - intruducing latency & jitter to simulate excellent, good & ok connections.
Maybe my inputs are just sloppy and I get uf,f easier if I try to go for uf,uf. *shrug* I don't see any good reason it shouldn't work though.
Or you can just play over LAN or at yifans...
Quote from: Smoof on September 18, 2009, 09:01:08 AM

I struggle with iad both Local & online.
As a separate topic I was just saying that an online simulator would be a nice feature - for any game really. There is always lag - regardless of the netcode - & all fighting games esp those that are combo heavy will be tricker online.
It sucks mastering a combo offline & then failing miserably when you take it to the masses.
The only thing that puts me off this game is the fact there's only 12 chars in it. I'm a char whore, always switching my mains. But 12 chars wouldn't last for shit, would they?
They are all totally different chars if that makes any difference, like TOTALLY different.
i found someone on GP that have blazblue with jap verison of xbox360

I would have thought Makoto (the cat girl) would have made more sense.
Anyway its expected that another char will be announced at some point.
So still hope for Jubei or Terumi.

Yeah I guess if your Tager it sucks (though I lose alot to him).
I really like Haku but against good players its really really hard.
And unfortunately in my hands Rachel is very limited.
So that leaves me with Litchi - who is okish matchup wise - but hard to use online

Holy fuck.
Overall rating of 75 for arakune, and the next highest is jin with a rating of fucking 30. Thats retarded.
Actually, when i look at it overall, the matchups arent that bad for a lot of the cast. a lot of 40/45's which are easily winnable.
Feel sorry for tager though. Nothing like a child dressed as a magician to kick the crap out of a massive behemoth with enormous slabs of metal for hands.
Besides Tager having possibly the worst match ups in the history of fighting games, it doesn't look toooooo bad... a couple of 35's for Bang and Hakumen, but I guess that's to be expected, especially of a game in it's first iteration

This games getting rebalanced, and that new character sounds like shit tbh. I'm just gonna wait till the new one comes out. I was gonna get this soon, fuck doing the same shit over again in practice mode on sf4.
One of those pics looks like it might be Terumi.
Also sounds like Nu-13 is being taken out and replaced by a new char called Lambda-11. Which is one way to rebalance :)

Most people's balance issues tend to start with Nu-13.
Anyway the replacement is expected to be similar except less OP.
And storywise it will work.
I expect all chars will receive tweaks to rebalance.

Yeah, what do you think about that new char, they sound stupid to me, distortion powers up her special moves, haha lame.
Oh freaking hell, haha. I haven't even played my copy of BlazBlue for two months. I really need to get my PS3 down here.
New character tickles my fancy though. I just want more zones to fight in, and character tweaking.

Doesn't really appeal, ive completed story mode and she doesn't do anything.
Have to wait & see how she plays - but at this moment I have no interest.
Terumi on the other hand aka Hazama could be very cool.

Selling your ps3 for killzone 2 lol. How you gonna play it?
Besides it's not that great, pretty laggy, and you level up too quickly, not much value. COD4 owns it imo. And dont even get me started on campaign, i clocked that shit in less then 6 hours with all the trophies.

He means hes got Blazblue for his PS3 and hasn't played it.

Oh freaking hell, haha. I haven't even played my copy of BlazBlue for two months. I really need to get my PS3 down here.
New character tickles my fancy though. I just want more zones to fight in, and character tweaking.
That's nothing...
I've got my PS3 and I haven't even played it once...
And I've been trying to sell it so that I can buy Killzone 2, especially since I heard about the updated version being released on PAL format.
Aye? Huh? What?

Not really suprised about the dust on my boxed equipment...

Wow, he looks pretty dumb

Also sounds like there might be a 3rd new char.
Most are guessing it will be Terumi (Hazama in final boss like form)
Unlikely that Terumi will be the third character as one of Hazama's supers changes him into Terumi apparently

wtf, no way he looks rad
Shit eating grin.
HURRRR EVERYTHING LOOKS HAPPY YAY
He needs bee's and clap loop imho. speaking of clap loop.

I hope you are right, as i'd prefer a completely different char like Jubei.
But I wouldn't be surprised if Hazama had an "unlimited" boss like form.
Maybe they will do both.
