Did they ship a little early or will it certainly be 6/30??

They shipped with the game. So 6/29 or 6/30 I guess, I've had orders ship 1 day early before.

So, when this game comes out, I'll probably get a psn BB gafchat goin similar to what we did w/ sf4. We should be able to get a lot of games in that way. If you want, go ahead and list your PSN tag so I can throw out an invite.

You just befriend the person on PSN, and then the person sends you an invite. This is on PSN only though, not XBL, it's how we've been running gaf casuals/tourneys (same on srk)

@volycina - I'm not writing these down right now, but when the game comes out I'll be skimming down the thread, so if you could please edit it so it's listed as so for easier reading

Oh my bad, didn't know it was there! Keep forgetting about the online forum.

edit - I'll still leave my gafchat post though, cuz if this is anything like the SF4 thread, the main thread is the only one people responded to lol

Does anybody else who ordered the game from amazon have the delivery estimate at July 13-July 17th?! I never knew super saver shipping would take two weeks.

yea, it's typical for their games now. PRIME members and anyone who chooses faster shipping gets priority.

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Well, speaking from past experience, those dates are usually not accurate and I would receive the item several days before the estimated delivery. For myself personally, though, next day shipping is well worth the higher price tag because waiting KILLS me.

 

[LowParry]

The more I see of this game, the more excited I get about it. Want!

 

[Narcosis]

Anyone here wanna recommend which characters I should start with in BlazBlue if my GGXXAC mains were Sol, Millia and Faust?

 

[MarkMan]

^ I say just mess with who you want to... I honestly feel none of the chars in BlazBlue come close to how GG characters play. They are worlds different.

 

[AlphaSnake]

I've had a review copy for a few days now, and I must say that I actually prefer this over KOF12. Plus the visuals are a lot nicer, and a lot smoother than those of KOF12; there are some aliasing quirks, but very minimal ones most people will have to really for on the fighters.

And the combo system in BB is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!

 

[momolicious]

Anyone know if the cheap Hori Fighting Stick 3 works well with this fast paced game compared to a pad.

MarkMan should be able to answer this but yes... an arcade stick is always better than a pad.

Visuals are nicer, but they are two different type of fighting games...

FS3 > Any Pad for damn sure.

A solid entry level fighting stick.

 

[DJmizuhara]

Just picked up BlazBlue for the PS3 here in Japan...and it's VERY import friendly, it's all in English. It's even got the ESRB rating logo at the start up.

Anybody wanna play online? DJmizuhara is my PSN

Did you folks get any goodies or are they bloating the release for Western audiences?

 

[Oichi]

There is a preorder bonus/first shipment bonus for Blazblue in Japan but they really beefed it up for the US release to get more people to buy it. Dunno how successful it will be...

Getting my copy tomorrow! Can't wait! I'll be on the 360 though. :X

Seems to be garnering a lot of interest from the posts I've been reading. :\

Not saying we'll see it on the July NPD's; but hopefully it will sell better than your average third party non-franchise title.

 

[Ferrio]

Hope the netcode is good, i wanna rock with some noel.

 

[MarkMan]

Word on the street is this game sold in VERY well... GameStop is really pushing this game due to the high amount of preorders.

Nice!! Mississauga too I'll go and see if I can order a store pick-up (I hate using my credit card). If not, I'm pre-ordering from the website.

Far better than paying amazon $30 for shipping/import-tax :/

 

[Tokubetsu]

Still kinda on the fence about this. Friend of mine is selling me on it like mad and MarkMan's seal of approval is helping his case :lol

Wait what? I've got it pre ordered for both 360 and PS3 at my local EB Games (I see you live in Sauga as well?). If so it's a small world

 

[DJmizuhara]

EB and VGP are still taking preorders? where did you here this?

 

[DJmizuhara]

30 FPS for the time being...60FPS takes ages to encoding.
So I'll do that another time, not sure when because I'll be doing Wii Sports 2 tomorrow.

 

[GuardianE]

There mere thought makes me giddy.

I just saw videos of people doing loops at corners. I have a feeling newbies who dont know how to do them will get destroyed wayy too easily every time. Anyway out of them?

Yes, but that's the thing to learn how to do eh? Learning when to air tech, when not to, or when to use barrier burst.

i assume you'd burst in that situation, think Guilty Gear or TvC
this ain't Marvel

 

[Ferrio]

Won't always have it available. So learning when you can air tech and whether you should is key I'm sure. Smashing to air tech just to get grabbed and thrown around by tager could get nasty.

As far as I know, EB Games stops taking pre orders when it's close to the game release (3-4 Weeks I believe).

 

[MarkMan]

This stick sucks... but I need it for my collection. lol.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Just got it!

I can confirm that the Japanese version is dual-language and defaults to English on start-up.

I also cannot seem to install this on my 360. It stops at zero every time and tells me the disic is scratched or dirty, but it plays fine.
