Hey, I won, I am not the worlds worst played :lol

Now to look up how to do specials without the R stick.

i haven't won a single match and all the opponents were also level 1, maybe a couple level 2... im like 0-7 lol. i guess time to learn the moves

 

[BotoxAgent]

What the hell?
"sorry consumer, we don't want your money"

well they may only have initial copies available to those who preordered.

It would suck if I preordered a game and it turns out the some dood bought my copy.

 

[Knux-Future]

why does jesus hate me? Gamestop still is verrifying my order...I order in april and have one day shipping ( NOT FREE RAAR)............please come today..

 

[BotoxAgent]

Btw, is there an official strategy book for this? I totally forgot to ask GS when I left the store (usually they would remind me by peddling the strategy book while they are ringing you up, not today)

 

[Teknopathetic]

Ccrook: PM me on PSN (MoodyShuffle) and I'll invite you to gafchat.

[LethaL ImpuLse]

Anyone else think Arakune looks a lot like No Face from Spirited Away? I've only noticed this now that I'm playing the game

 

[kbear]

Btw, is there an official strategy book for this?

i hope so...would be 100% bought

 

[Drkirby]

Ok, I am going to have to fix the two broken buttons in my stick when I get home, I can't do some of the special's with the 360 pad no matter what :lol

Quick thoughts on the American PS3 version after having been playing the Japanese 360 version since last Wednesday:

-Nice packaging! Full color manual, LE box is thin and houses the two blu-ray disc cases nicely.

-Is there no install option on PS3? Please tell me I missed this; the load times aren't really long, but are noticeably longer compared to the (full-installed) 360 version. :/

-Did an online match and it was fairly laggy; I have not had a match like this on 360. This is disappointing, and combined with the pre-fight load times, it felt longer than usual compared to the 360 version. Hopefully the guy I played just had a crappy connection and/or was downloading or something. EDITL The second match started out great and then got really bad in the second round, but I think the guy was "cheating" and making lag happen since it only got laggy when I was on the offensive. I won anyway. :lol

-The stock PS3 controller works perfectly with this game. Even with the Mad Catz 360 fight pad, I sometimes have problems getting Iron Tager's 360s out. Did not have any problems on PS3!

-The ranked match I played did not have blind character select, but 360 does. Confusing! :lol

-There are less people playing compared to the 360 version.

If anyone is looking for a good guide, I've been looking this one over:

http://s1.zetaboards.com/blazblue/pages/index/

Pretty straight forward and answers a lot of questions if you're not sure what the hell is what.

Good find man. I'll have to remember to favorite this once i get home. It'll also be good for down time here at work.

Going through arcade with Noell..I can see why people hate her. RUSHDOWNDRUSHDOWNRUSHDOWNRUSHDOWN - Noell Win!

I call Gamestop and they tell me they won't get it until 7/28

I wish there was a tracklist for the soundtrack.

If you don't mind, keep us updated on this. I was thinking of double dipping on the PS3 version after work but will skip if the port is worse.

That's the date for KOF XII, they're probably confused.

This happened to me. First round is always awesome and sometimes the second round starts lagging as hell. I thought it was my crappy connection, but it only happened when I was in spectator mode.

 

[Lyte Edge]

I wasn't prompted to download any patch like the 360 version got; people were saying before the 360 version got patched, it played laggy like this too. So maybe they just haven't put it up yet?

As it stands right now, the 360 version is better in my eyes. Installing it shortens the load times and the online play is superior (which I generally find to be the case with fighting games).

but it has remote play!
actually, can you tell us about remote play?

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

They are confused with the regular edition which ships later after the LE runs out of print. :lol

 

[LowParry]

Yeah. PS3 online is running like ass. -sigh-

 

[Ferrio]

urgg....

 

[Lyte Edge]

Yeah, I hope the PS3 version gets patched. If not I may not even keep it, frankly. The 360 version is THAT much better online.

but it has remote play!

I've been trying to get it set up but I'm having some issues. Can't seem to create a PSN profile on PSP. I'm using custom firmware so maybe that's why.

 

[kbear]

i played like 7 matches and only noticed a little lag in one, the rest were lag-free

i think you're getting ahead of yourself...i don't even have that great a connect and only saw lag in 1 out of 7 matches

 

[Baby Milo]

wtfff at people talking about PS3 problems i thought this game ran great online

 

[kbear]

it does, don't sweat it

 

[Lyte Edge]

Ugh, another match that went great in the first round and became a slideshow in the second.

i think you're getting ahead of yourself...i don't even have that great a connect and only saw lag in 1 out of 7 matches

Like I said, I have been playing the 360 version since last Wednesday. There is no comparison; the game runs as perfectly smooth as you can possibly get on Live, but it's not so hot on PSN. I am also scratching my head over the lack of blind character select in ranked, so perhaps it just hasn't gotten the same patch that the 360 version did.

The 360 version does.

 

[kbear]

maybe it's your connect dude

 

[LethaL ImpuLse]

I haven't had any problems in the few games I played online on PS3 version.

 

[Lyte Edge]

maybe it's your connect dude

Could be, but I don't have these kinds of problems when I play SF4, HD Remix, or SC4 online on PSN. Post your impressions guys!

 

[Community Forum]

Picked up the 360 version at GameStop.

Installing now!

EDIT: 4.3 GB

 

[kbear]

well, no point in condemning the ps3 version's online because you played 3 matches and had lag. both lethal_impulse and myself have had buttah smooth online play.

I've played more than that already! And I'm currently in a player room listening to two other players complain about the same thing.

So again, based on my experience, the 360 version is better due to blind select in ranked, game install, and far better online. That's just my thoughts though.

well the xbawks version had a title update did it not? did the PS3 version have one? yet?

if not, keep waiting I guess...

So, you're playing a Japanese 360 copy with a PATCH that you admit fixed problems? Has this patch come out in the US for the 360 version? If not, maybe you should wait before screaming from the hilltops that the 360 version is superior.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Right, as far as I can tell, there was no update on PS3. So hopefully it gets the same patch!

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Maybe the blind select was included in the patch the 360 got. Let's wait and see, maybe the patch is coming for Ps3 soon.

 

[kbear]

game install? the loading time isn't even worth mentioning. same deal with blind select...a tiny feature like that missing shouldn't = worse version. idk, man. like i said, basically lag-free for me and i'm only on 1mb down, 368k (low-end dsl). maybe it has something to do with location

yeah, that's the vibe i was getting -- that he was trying hard to call the ps3 version inferior.

 

[Ferrio]

Latency has everything to do with location.

 

[Kintaro]

Wonder what the delay is with the PS3 patch? Was the 360 version patched with the JP release or today's US release?

[Barkley's Justice]

amazon sucks, man. last two pre-orders i've done they have been WAY late...they "suspect" it will ship july 2nd :/

just pre-ordered KOF12 at gamestop with free overnight (ends today)

 

[LowParry]

Map them like the arcade. A (red) B (blue) C (yellow) D (green).

I would certainly assume the patch is out for everyone on 360, yes. The Japanese version IS the American version, BTW. Same content on the disc, even the U.S. "Teen Rating" and "Aksys Games" logos.

I don't know how the 360 version played pre-patch, BTW. I was prompted to download the patch the first time I played the game, I.E. it was up on the Japanese release day. PS3 should have gotten this last week too, then.

I also don't even know if the PS3 version is getting a patch. I'm hoping it does. Do I think the game is superior on 360? Well, with faster load times, blind select, and better online...yup, sure do. Hoping for a patch to sort this out.

Mine says delivery date is the 2nd, but I might have to do a quick search for it in retail tonight and cancel my order.

 

[DrFunk]

I remember the 360 patch being available last week, or something close to that.

arcade lets you choose from

BCD
A

or

ABC
D

the second one is JoJo style :lol

 

[Lyte Edge]

It seems that if you want a game on release day that ordering from Amazon is not the way to go.

I remember the 360 patch being available last week, or something close to that.

Again, it was available on the official release date. Only those few who got early copies ahead of schedule played it pre-patch.

 

[Kintaro]

Yeah can we back off Lyte here? He's just giving his impressions and comparing the two as they stand. If there are patches to be had, they should be up on the services in the US by now (no excuse not to0.
