Once I saw the finals match I knew the Nu player would win.

yeah it seems neogaf has lost interest in blazblue :\

Fuck that. Nu is full of shit. I mean yeah you can beat her (basically get in on her and giver no breathing room) but playing against her is so damn annoying. There's nothing like getting in on a Nu player and almost killing him, only to have him barrier burst and then kill you from a distance by pressing just one button.

I like the game, but I don't play it that much anymore and have gone back to SF4 again. BB needs an update with a bit of character balancing going on.

Back at uni, looking to play more quick match style games as opposed to long story-based games. I need to get my Tao back up to par, so if anybody wants to get some player matches in(EDIT: on 360) I'm definitely up for it. The more the merrier. GT is in my profile...

I've been on BB playing my ass off to the top. Most of the ppl on my list just stopped playing it for some reason. I still play regularly, and the only guy who beats me consistently is Grifter even though I just beat him once. Anyone up for some matches just FR me. My GT is in my profile.
PS
Maybe it's because I main Bang, but Nu is pretty easy to beat. Just rushdown, and don't give them space.

I'm disappointed to hear the hype for this game seems to have backfired and there are serious balance problems. Haven't been able to play arcade games for the past few months (injury a week after buying SFIV dammit!) and haven't picked this up yet. Looks like I need to wait for BlazBlue XX.

It's quite playable, and no more unbalanced than SFIV's Sagat domination IMO. I still love both games despite the flaws. Give it a go.

It's definitely playable. There are some balance issues, but it does alot of things right as well. The special damage is actually reasonable(except for Tager), and there are lots of ways to turn a fight around.The boss is there from the get go, the story mode is unlike anything you've ever played in a fighting game, and the drive system adds an interesting mechanic.
You can pick it up used, and use the official guides on youtube instead of getting pissed that thousands of players will be ahead of you when the next installment comes out. It's a good game, and you won't have much difficulty unless you pick Carl.
Edit:
The game also has a 120 page thread. This is the second biggest thread next to SF4 for a fighting game, and twice the size of the KOF thread.
GGs Grifter...god damn. :lol
I need to stop jumping so much, not good against Noel. I think I'm starting to hit another wall with Tager, it feels like most of the stuff I'm doing lately is just a few time use gimmick that soon becomes useless. I did get grifter with a 720 out of the charge move, but stuff like that I don't really see working much.

Haven't had much time to play lately because it's crunch time at work. Thank gawd for this three-day weekend. =) If anyone seems me online, feel free to shoot an invite.momolicious said:
Finally had some time to start my adventures in the BlazBlue world, and man I suck ! :lol
It feels so much different from SF4, that I can't even beat arcade mode round 5 on normal.
Searched the OP for some helpful links, anyone know some more ? (a starter guide or something)
Also unsure on which char I want to learn first, I like that insect bubblegum dude, is he noob-friendly or ?

There are character guides on youtube that appear if you search for the characters name. Arakune himself is not all that noob friendly. You have to learn how to use his curse clouds, and how to launch all of his insects. You'll see tons of matches with all the characters on youtube if you check there.

What you say is true. The character imbalances only show up once you get good enough to notice. By the time a new player can catch up we'll be getting a new patch, and new characters anyway.

GGs! Yeah, I need to figure out all these Tager tricks but it's fun seeing what I can get away with (that extra intensity may be pushing the boundaries of my heart tho :lol) and how long I can string along combos on Tager's hitbox.

The balance issue in this game is way overblown. If you can play SF4, you'll be fine in BB -- the balance in BB is better than SF4. Even in SBO, the top 8 had 2 Litchis, 2 Nus, 1 Carl, 1 Arakune, 1 Bang and 1 Rachel.
The finals was Carl v. Arakune.
Nu is frustrating to go against at first, but the more you play against her, the easier she becomes. In fact, I think Arakune is more ridiculous than Nu.
Either way, most of the characters are fine, it's just some of the matchups are uneven. Like Tager v. Nu -- Tager has a disadvantage, but in Tager v. Noel, Tager has an advantage.

Yeah, even my Rachel is mid at best.
But Nu... let's say I have 2 in my list who beast.
And make me say "Dealing over 5000 damage to my Rachel, unmetered, without any setup, for a single mistake in the wrong place is pure bs".
Also "it's so much more easy to play her than Kune or Rachel it's bs."
Rachel vs Nu tends to go "Rachel's lost unless she gets a good combo going and the oki goes well."
If Nu gets out of the pressure, it's really hard to catch her again. And one of the players on my list learned his Nu runaway in Japan... so she's extra evasive >.<
So I really hope the next iteration will do something about that.

Whoa nelly. There isn't a single matchup in SF4 that's as nasty as Arakune vs. Tager.

Are they definitely gonna release a balance patch for BlazBlue or is that just speculation? Cause I absolutely love the game but I think it really needs to tweak the balance a bit to truly be great, definitely at a tournament level.
Seeing Nu wreck other players doesn't make people wanna play the game, and everyone loves seeing underdog characters take it. One of the reasons I think SF4 is so popular is that Sagat is powerful but still easily beaten - there wasn't a single Sagat in the EVO top 8, for example.

Yet, overall most of the fighters of this generation have been very well balanced, especially for first iterations.
SF has typical Capcom issues, but the top tier isn't as strong as the top tier usually is.
KOFXII was well balanced. Kyo's a little too safe, and Iori's a little too damaging, but other then that game is really well balanced, and Kyo and Iori are very beatable.
VF and Tekken have excellent balance.
SC4 and BB were the fighters with issues.
One thing I've noticed with SRK/FG community- Arc fans tend to be really touchy about their game, moreso then any other community. They really freak out if you don't think their game is the greatest thing ever. I even had a person from this site get at me out about that on other forums like they were some kind of crazy psycho stalker.

I'll be online for a while if anyone is looking for matches. I also got accepted your FR dimm so I'm ready when you are. The only version I play is 360, and the GT is in the profile.
Yep, I've only played 3-5 intermediate rachels with 1000 matches under my belt. I don't get the big deal with Nu though. She is my easiest matchup of all, and Tager isn't THAT bad. Arakune is definitely messed up though. He needs some serious retooling.

Nu isn't really 'that' bad. Its just that people remember an ass whooping from far away much more than one up close.
Tager though... ugh, he needs a serious boost. Hakumen too, you have be damn near psychic in order to counter properly with him and he's nothing more than a target for zoning.

Tager could use a (Hakumenlite) dash, and a faster poke. Hakumen could use less frames if he wiffs on the counters, and he needs a normal dash. He needs his attack power to drop by 10% though. That would be enough to make them competitive, but not enough to make them own the game considering their damage output.

I just remembered. I was at my cousins house, and I popped his BlazBlue disc in to see if I could get some matches going. I saw you online, and I kept trying to connect, but you were already playing. I've played you back in my sub 100 match days, and I thought I'd come, and surprise the shit out of you.:lol

I'll stick around for a little while then. I really could use some new challenges.

So at least I confirmed that my main issue is with Rachel's coverage and not that I totally suck at the game, lol.
Prototype is scary.

I fought 4 carl's in a row today...he's forming an army. :lol
Tager is even shittier against him than even his other bad matchups, it looks like. The non-clap trap carl players showed me that he can stuff a bunch of my moves, and if he DOES know the trap then it's hard to do a thing. One carl literally jumped behind the robot and waited, there's no way I can really advance on him without getting hit with that shit, so it's basically an early round burst and if I don't kill him in the next combo, I lose.

Here's a video of me against an Arakune...did I do something horribly wrong the first round or something? I have no fucking clue how to hit the ground after he gets that shit started.
