how do i charge a attack ?? @ noels atstral heart it says:

down (charge) > up > press c often

While holding down, rapidly tap C then up while still tapping C. That's how I did it.

 

[Papercuts]

Noel's Astral is down + CCC, up + C, I think they messed the command up on the screen.

 

[Flek]

thx guys i whas doing it > holding down > up + CCCCCCCCCCCCC ..... nothing happend :lol

 

[dragonlife]

Good games tonight, Dragon, Techno, and Spirit.

I learned to fear all of you tonight. I also learned how to use some high low mixup.

EXP+2!!

Thanks for joining! And, yeah, good games; they were extremely fun If you want to play, I'm sure you'll be able to catch me online a lot since I'm addicted to the game and LIVE at the moment

Gonna have nightmares about Icana's Noel though :lol
Dragon's Litchi is no joke either.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear my training's paying off Your Ragna is getting fierce, by the way--I was pretty much cornered on some fights XD

And, as always, good games, Icana. Your Noel will fall by my hands one day!

Spoiler

I hope

 

[Mr. Spinnington]

I really don't understand why you're finding this surprising. We've known about the game's low shipment total for like, weeks.

i wasn't following it closely enough >_>

You can set private slots, but not passwords.

 

[Grifter]

Grafter, I love your Noel!!!! I'll be crawling up your realm soon enough. I work hard.

I've got a long way to go myself, but let me know if I can help! The lag seemed bad only for your matches for a stretch, but maybe the host eats more of a bandwidth load in a full lobby.

Had a blast last night! Too bad I had to run early due to a morning meeting. SF4 may still be a better game but I'll be sticking to this for the feature-packed, yet so streamlined online options, lobbies, and seemingly better handling of lag.

 

[TheExodu5]

Anyone have a record as bad as my 3-25?

What's even more awesome is that I'm using a TE stick. :lol

I'll ask again for help from any Rachel players. I need help to figure out what to do when I'm backed into a corner. Which moves have priority on the ground? Which moves have priority in the air?

I've been working on the 6A combos...but it seems like in an actual match, I can't get in close enough to my opponent to follow through after the 3rd or 4th hit. I really need to work on Rachel's ground game. She sheems incredibly good in the air though, so I'll try to beat the jump spammers there if I can.

I'm something like 25-90 using an HRAP :lol
it's a better win percentage, but I probably got lucky and fought a buch of terrible players.

I suck lol.

Heh, it's funny how I don't mind losing though. Even if I lose, I usually feel like I've accomplished something. I just don't get that feeling from SF IV, since the battles in that game are just so straightforward.

the only thing she can really do is jab when there's the tiniest opening to start a chain. or use counter assault if you have the meter.

about 6A, it's a decent antiair, so use it that way and in training, make the dummy jump, because the timing on the combos will be different. you shouldn't get used to doing them on a standing opponent.

 

[TheExodu5]

What do you mean by counter-assault? A+B+C? I never use that...but I guess I really should, since Rachel's special is near useless.

 

[akachan ningen]

What do you mean by counter-assault? A+B+C? I never use that...but I guess I really should, since Rachel's special is near useless.

it's forward+AB while blocking. of course, if you learn your opponent's recovery points, you won't need to use that. just throw or jab your way out.

 

[scy]

Baden-Baden Lily is far from useless Nearly all of Rachel's combos end with the opponent on the ground or hit-stunned (i.e., George XIII) which sets up for her DD really easily. Plus, it can hit half the screen at once which gives pretty damn good coverage or stacked on a single point for high damage. As it stands, a lot of combos end with batpoles anyway.

Rachel is, personally, a slightly better ground character than air, if only due to Silpheed NOT recharging in the air. 6A is anti-air with some projectile eating capabilities; 2C is similar for the ground, though it has terrible recovery. It's a great option when they're on top of you though since the chair eats hits even if you miss the attack. Another option is her j.2C with Silpheed pushing to help land the blow. If it hits, they'll bounce and you can go right into an air combo.

6B is her primary ground poke; best range and decent speed. Counter Hits open up for easy comboing and this is really your best option on the ground. 5B fires faster with shorter range and helps to create some breathing room. Besides that, you can use Silpheed to cover the distance immediately whenever they stop attacking which lets you use pretty much anything (3C, CC) to try to hit them.

 

[FindMyFarms]

I have internet, yay. I can again be killed by powerful 3 hit combos... grrrr

Hey I don't have swords. Let's be friends.

Also wtf at Ukiraros' TaoPooPoo. I had no idea what was going on in any of our matches :lol

Eraldo I<3U. Tek u no how I feel about you *angry face*

Internet went out again this morning .

Fortunately I know the problem, and hopefully can fix it. Long as the neighbors don't put up a fuss (which they shouldn't since it'll fix theirs too).

Much appreciated. I'll use these tips when I go at it tonight!

 

[black_vegeta]

Are there more XBLA players or PSN players that play on this thread?

I heard on some janky blog that the japanese pros play on PSN.

 

[Ferrio]

So far it looks like the majority is PSN. I wouldn't know for sure though. Never a shortage of players in the PSN blaz channel.

 

[FindMyFarms]

You'll be fine on either system.

I'd say it's pretty even. It's not hard finding a match on the 360.

 

[Teknoman]

Does Bang ever use that huge nail for anything?

 

[crowphoenix]

crow, you got LIVE? If so, add me! (same name as here)

I have live, but I rented the PSN version of BlazBlue. To fix that, I've added the 360 version to my GameFly Q.

I'll add you when I get home tonight.

You need one of the PSN regulars to invite you to it. PSN: Ferrio.

Cool, I only have a 360 for the time being and also have a TE stick. I'll probably pick this title up later this week when I have time. I need a break away from SF4.

 

[Papercuts]

I'm level 33 now...I don't like this at all. :lol

I've been fighting a lot of Rachel, Arakune, and Nu, along with the same Carl a few times. These are all horrible match ups for Tager. D:

I'm surprised that I've won most of them today, though I'm only at a 49% overall win rate(51.5% with just Tager though). The Carl completely destroyed me, I guess according to dustloop he is actually the worst matchup for Tager, even worse than Nu. Great.

 

[Lostconfused]

Well that depends entirely on your attitude. I try to play SF4 on and off and I dont mind at all getting my shit wrecked as Abel, mainly because i just kind of like that character. But on the other hand loosing any match with Jin right now frustrates me like nothing else.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

This sucks. I ordered the limited edition of this off Fry's.com but its been backordered.

I'm curious, do you mean when you are playing Jin yourself or playing against him? Why is playing with a specific character (and losing I guess) more annoying than playing a different character? Losing generally doesn't bother me much, but I have to admit that getting comboed in a corner for an entire round sometimes gets tiresome (usually by insane Litchi players). But in that case, which character I'm playing doesn't really make much of a difference because I'm being comboed and destroyed either way. :lol

does the Carl player go by Heretic Kazuma, coz that's the only one I run into on xbox and that player is pretty damn freakin good.

I did a google search for his name and apparently he posted in this thread!

Yo Markman, are you guys (MadCatz) doing any tournaments at Game On in PB or any other location in San Diego for BlazBlue this year?

I remember there was a small tourney for Street fighter HD:Remix at that location before SF4 came out.

 

[Ferrio]

No, all it is TIGER TIGER TIGER TIGER.

Well i meant playing as Jin. And playing blazblue for me is the same as playing Jin because for some reason I dont really like the way any of the other characters play. Really my post can be summed up as "I get pretty frustrated when i loose on line in this here game".

 

[Heretic Kazuma]

I thought your name looked familiar, JEKKI, lol. I tend to have trouble against Litchi players since I still don't have a strategy against all of her Bs; 5B, 2B and jB beat out all of Carl's attacks. I have a far easier time against Nu than I do against Litchi, hahaha. I believe I'm 0-3 against you. :lol

 

[Lostconfused]

Oh man score attack is great. The cpu doesn't even pretend that its not reading your inputs.

Dont worry about it. Its monday night and people were playing it until 3 am or something the last night. I was just wondering if there were any up right now because i am going to call it a day a bit early.

 

[Teknoman]

I'd jump in, but im taking a small break. Maybe later tonight.

Oh and replays from last nights matches: Teknoman VS Papercuts (Fatal X Fate) & Teknoman VS Spirit Icana

Interesting...so you don't need to be friends with someone in order to invite them? Just know their GT?

Anyway, add me! My GT's my name on here (I was the Litchi last night) because I'm usually on and prefer to make rooms when it's at least three people...and it's better to know when you're online

I guess there are no gaf XBL rooms tonight.

Hey, you add me, too

 

[Teknoman]

Yeah, I just noticed you can send invites by just entering the gamertag. Same with messages.

Dude, I played this awesome Litchi in a Ranked Match and I learned some new moves! Can't wait to show 'em to you guys

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Damn, I played online for the first time as Taokaka and got my ASS beat.

I don't even have a single victory to my name

I played this game at a friend's house yesterday.

It was so much fun that I had to order the Limited edition; I'm expecting it tomorrow.


If anyone wants to teach a scrub how to play, you can add me.
