BLAZBLUE -Calamity Trigger-

[Squares]

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

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?

Don't know much about Taokaka but you could try here

Thanks for that I should probably start looking into proper combos.

I vote... YIFANS PARTEH! We can get Squares and Diablo to scrub out all the people who come to challenge our machine dominance

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) >_<;;

[maelgrim]

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.

[Squares]

True. They said they expected stock over the weekend. Guess we'll find out Monday if it came in or not..

[Lennysaurus]

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!

[maelgrim]

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.

[Lennysaurus]

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.

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

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 >_<

[Squares]

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.

[HoneyBadger]

HEY WE DELAYED YOUR BLAZBLUE.... ANOTHER DAY! Whyyyyyy?

[maelgrim]

damn 

[HoneyBadger]

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
