It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school (No, I can't complain)
The teachers who taught me weren't cool (No, I can't complain)
You're holding me down (Oh Oh)
Turning me round (Oh Oh)
Filling me up with your rules (Oooh)Comment

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
If they took all the Jin and Noel players and divided them up evenly amongst the rest of the characters there would still be more Jin and Noel players than all other characters combined.
That's how much I end up fighting them.
V-13 also shows up a lot but I don't mind terribly since most of them aren't accustomed to fighting an Arakune and I get a free round of them standing around before they realize I have ranged attacks too.

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
I added you Giggles
block mid, mid, low, low, mid oops you just blocked the his basic bnb and every follow up he wants to try
Bang isn't terrible, but he's very vanilla once you face enough good players and realize there's very little variation.Why would you put that in your signature? You've lost your signature rights for a month. (You'll get them back on March 10th, 2012.)Comment

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
Did I play you before I realized that it was you, Xiao? Because I feel like I played someone with Xiao in their name 2-3 days ago. I assume I got wrecked if I did, I don't remember.
I've gotten substantially better though, we should definitely play a round or two when we're both on.Comment

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
Nope, I've never played you before. I'll on after 10pm GMT-5 tomorrow if you can be on and are interested in playing at that time.
Also the more I see Jin the more I realize how generic and versatile he is. Well-rounded but not exceptionally good at anything. Except his 623c DP with a ****ing billion invincibility frames and MASSIVE overhead reach. Crazy good for punishingWhy would you put that in your signature?

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
Hahaha, you decimated me that first round Giggles. Shame you couldn't join the game with the rest of that party. They're actually quite good. I started getting into my groove and winning with a good margin for a number of matches; would've been better if you had faced me then.

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
Indubitably.
I'm trying to bring my ratio to 50% and keep it there. That's my current goal, and I'd like to achieve it without resorting to fighting dudes 20 levels below me. My next goal is to actually learn some combos besides 6c c 2c and throw -> super, which are the only moves I can actually link in a battle.
Of course, I also really need to pick up a sub because I feel like a dick when I pick the same character over and over again.Comment

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
You probably should. I have extremely slow reaction time (for the most part) so it's a statistically improbable miracle that I ever throw cancel; but that can't be said about a lot of people.

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
So is this that good? Saw it on a G4 thing awile back, but ended up getting Soul Calibur IV instead later on ( only becuase a friend lent it to me and I didnt have to buy it ). I recentlly got a gamfly subscription, and love fighters. I take it I should put this on my list?" Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. " ~ W.SComment

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
It's one of the better (if not amongst the best) fighters available right now. It's not as popular as other fg powerhouses but if you love fighters this is definitely a game to get.Why would you put that in your signature? You've lost your signature rights for a month.

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
Whilst I'll agree that the game is incredibly fun, and after playing it in Japan when I was over, I was determined to take the game seriously for competitive play, but when you say the game is the most balanced titles of the genre in the past decade, I really have to question what fighting games you actually play, or how well you play them.
An example of a game where no match-ups are blatantly dominated at high-level play is Melty Blood: Act Cadenza, or even Actress Again from what I was seeing. The problem BB has is that it lacks a proper defensive mechanic like the EX shield of MB or the parry system of 3rd Strike. I'm not sure what you consider high level, but I play in a lot of tournaments, and I've seen incredibly good Twelve/Q players rip through very talented Chun/Yun players in arcades. However, you can't possibly deny at this point in time how bad some match-ups in BlazBlue are.
I don't even have to prove much more than what this video should show you, but I'll elaborate on the ν-13 > Tager match-up anyway:
So as Tager, your main chance of winning is either getting close or getting a projectile out at some point to chain it into a combo on return. Against a ν-13 player who knows how to deal with Tager, you won't have time to move. You're locked down by projectiles. When you mess up, you find yourself in a combo and when it ends, the process is repeated. The only chance you have is if they drop their offensive for you to attempt a 2D/236B or whatever you feel up to, but the idea is, it's not at all balanced.
As a character, ν-13 has probably one bad match-up, which I believe is Jin. At best, this is a 6-4 scenario for Jin, and I don't even think it's that sloped. I realise people will probably whine about what I'm trying to tell them, and that I'm an elitist or whatever, but whatever. Tager has a ton of bad match-ups. I main Tager/Rachel, and I've seen first-hand what a good player can do to him. It isn't just Tager this applies to though. Most characters have it bad against zoners like Arakune/Rachel/ν-13, and balance is only viable when characters don't dominate loads of match-ups.
So anyway, by all means feel free to disprove what I've posted, if you wish. If you're only playing the game casually with no intent on advancing past BnB though, tiers are really not worth looking at.Last edited by Infernova; 08-9-2009, 11:13 AM.Comment

Re: The smexiness that is Blazblue
There is no way this game is as balanced as 3rd strike after watching that video.Comment
