Haha great placement too right after chun li

:D

Game is great though. Got into a room more my level and am having fun. My litchi is still shit and I feel bad playing Noel and Jin though :(
 
"Buy me the PS3 version and we can go Tager vs. v-13 like we did Honda vs. Sagat "


Pfft, you had months more SF4 experience day one. You've only got a week or two on me in BB!

Plus, v13 is totally easy mode
 
GGs guys. I hope you were able to hear me when I said I was splittin'. Voice chat makes me nervous. Am I too loud? Too soft? Does everyone hear me breathing? Or mashing buttons like crazy? All my shames are going through the internet and into my opponent's ears. It's a dangerous technology.

I wish I hadn't developed a hard-on for poo Arakune. If I do ever figure out how to play as him I'll feel guilty, because fuck is he annoying to fight against. I think my current, hopelessly spazzy Arakune may possibly be more obnoxious than a competent one, though.

How the hell did it get to be so late? This game is devouring my life.
 
GG's to the usual Crew: Find, Tekno, Q, and ( dont know if it's their GAF name but ggs also to Kaiden and forgot the name of the other guy lol my apologies.

I wish I could be part of the usual crew. It sucks working nights. :p oh well, weekends.
 
I only played my copy ONCE. A few hours later, I turned on my PS3 and the disc won't show up in the system. GTA, inFamous, etc. all work but the game doesn't load up!

Noticed a weird pattern around the edge of the disc, like little rivits where the data meets the edge of the disc. Could I have a defective pressing?

NEVERMIND. I'm an rtard. Somehow my mind mixed up the BONUS disc with the GAME DISC.

Wow.

Weekend Crew FTW!!!!

weekend crew is awesome, only time i play from like 10p.m. - 3 in the morning

Q and Find were running the room tonight, i did have a very valiant showing tonight though, some super close matches

edit: your new AV always make me laugh for some reason lol

Just got my copy yesterday! Only could play for about an hour though because of work. Can't wait to get more into it, the game is gorgeous and the online is damn good, no lag!

I almost beat a Noel using Noel and spamming the crap out of D in my first and only match, got him for a round though! :p

Now try beating Teknopathetic's v-13 (psn moodyshuffle)

THAT is hell

I echo this >_< Tho first time you actually did win FMF! I was doing sorta better at first, but at it kept grinding on, it was just an absolute beat down. I'm still having execution issues actually. If you see me jumping in the air and hitting nothing, that's me trying to do something, not provoking XD

Eraldo: Man, I'd love to join you @ those times too, but then my friends come over and I have to be social :lol I'm losing practice XD

Why not use Ragna, you weren't doing too bad! I mean you beat me! But then again I act like a fish out of water sometimes.
 
After about 2,5 hours of rigorous play, I have to say that this game rocks hard. I'm still grasping the basics, yes, but the gameplay just feels amazingly fun and deep. I was thinking about maining Noel, despite her reputation as a 'lower-tier' character - I just like her, I suppose - but then again I'm pretty fond of Jin as well ( as far as first impressions go ).

The pad is working fine with this game, by the way. I'm still torn between learning to use the stick or using the pad, however. I'll play with the pad for now, though, but maybe later on...

I don't think anyone ever said she was lower tier. She's definitely mid. All the bitching comes from flowchart players her Drive, is the new dragonpunch.

Grifter killed my spirit last night man, I might just buy 1943 and play that for a day as a break.

Hrm so Litchi vs Nu is like 9-1 supposedly. >_< Man, I really need to step it up with her and end this Nu reign or something.

Cool game so far, but is anyone else getting the really bad video interlacing problems w/ the opening movie (PS3 version)? Doesn't happen anywhere else in the game, so I'm guessing it got "mastered" this way. Very annoying. Otherwise, the video throughout is pristine. Running in 720p.

Yes. Fortunately it's HD so the artefacts are very fine but it's still slightly offputting. Ah well...

If anyone is still looking for a PS3 Blazblue LE copy, Best Buy has them (I think Amazon just ran out... as I was buying T_T)

BB seems to have tax though :(

Psh, he can't always handle the rushdown!

:p

(I think before I started slipping up a bit, I'd beat him at least half the time!)

I'm gonna repost my question, it got muddled in my longer post a page back..

So im using the SF IV gamepad... Is that ok for this game? I feel like its kind of janky, but thats probably because this is my first fighting game (and its more a reflection of my skill level than the controller itself. )

Just beat Tao story mode, this is one of the best videogame characters ever, a blast to play and pure fun.

Her and Rachel are my favorite characters so far, great personalities

I'm thinking about getting this for 360. Are there a lot of people playing on it? Seems like its mostly PSN tags being passed around.
If you want to play with other GAF folks, PS3 version is wise.

Anyone know what the different parts of the Card mean in Network Play? Like, what's the color listed under your primary and secondary characters?

Other than Dustloop, any good repository for Noel combos?

Going to print it out and create a training regiment (work on combo 1 until I can do it 10/10 times) etc.

The color listed there is a rank dependent on whom you use and your level. For instance if you main Carl a ranking would be yellow and such. One thing I fail to understand is when you use characters like Ragna or Arakune. The card won't update with a sub character and remain unknown for some reason. I had to main Jin for awhile before it register with Jin as corporal and Ragna as my sub...weird. If I go quite a few games with Ragna it'll go back to his card and no sub info

Yellow for Carl? Isn't that sort of arbitrary? Or am I missing something?

That's weird about the sub character not showing up correctly. That seems like a really annoying glitch. If you have two characters that you use interchangeably, then those two should really switch places every once in a while as main and sub.

That only happens with Ragna and Arakune, you say?

I think the yellow thing with Carl is a reference to him being a chicken, have to play the story/arcade to get it. But yeah I don't know if its a bug or not. Characters with official titles and or heroes have rankings and subs shown. It maybe because Ragna and Arakune are demons/monsters or something?

I don't know but I'd really like not to mislead people with my card saying I go with Jin first.

I mostly use Hakumen and Jin and it says my sub is Ragna even though I've only picked him twice, by accident.

Interesting... Is there any way to check what your card says outside of going into a Ranked match?

you can check your personal ranking worldwide under ranking press start I think? and from your saved replays.

Anyone try holding down with Rachel? After a few seconds, she falls asleep in her kitty beanbag chair. Adorable.

She also has the best insults in story mode. :lol

Anyone using the microsoft hori fight stick EX2 for this? Or at least hear anything about it? I was thinking about picking it up just because it's the only one I can afford...

I have a hori FS3 which is supposedly worse than that one and it works for me.

Yar, I gave Tekno a run for his money. Really need to stop fucking up my corner shenanigans.
 
So BB is my first forray into the GG universe. Aside from the fact that I don't really know any of Arakune's more advanced setups/strategies/combos, I feel as if I'm playing the game as "Street Fighter" but with different movement characteristics. When I go into a match, my mindset consists of just establish zoning/spacing, make my opponent reveal the actions they'll be committing to for the round, and establishing patterns in order to setup my mixups.

To all you GG vets, what game specific intricacies and approaches am I missing out on.

It's decent. Just don't let catfish know I said that.
It might be worthwhile raising your spending limit another $10/$20 and getting the SFIV SE stick though.

basically defense... using barrier guard to increase pushback and negate chip damage, insta blocking reduced guard stun by (I think) 5 frames if done on the ground, and of course using your barrier burst wisely
