any real difference between the two versions?

I've got a SFIV pad for the 360, but my dvd drive is dying, so i need to install to play anything, so i'd probably be leaning towards the ps3 version

ordered from Amazon to save the measly $4, though I've heard they ship new releases at their leisure, so we'll see.. Artbook would be nice, but I'd have to pay shipping, on top of not needing more shit right now.

Looking forward to this, but admittedly haven't read as much as I should.

Burst and Barrier aren't quite the same though. Basically, Burst and Faultless Defense was combined into Barrier. Instead of needing to build a burst gauge and use it, using burst will deplete the Barrier gauge and make you more vunerable to attacks. Also, Barrier has it's own gauge rather than using Heat/Tension. So a little mixing there.

True. But I have to add I wasn't quite clear. I meant the execution is the same, even if the actual effects are a little different. Thanks for pointing that out though.

I've also noticed that Barrier has a smaller AoE than Faultless Defense, though. Since some of you here have played BlazBlue, any of you care to confirm?

Yeah, I forgot the first post showed all the techs. Looks pretty much the same, I guess there's no dust move? Also, the replacement for burst seems to only stop combos, in GG you'd get a full super gauge against unguarded foes.

There were two bursts in Guilty Gear. The gold burst is actually an offensive mechanism that can only be used if you are in a non-defensive state. Basically, you bait the opponent into attacking you, you use the gold burst, and it fills your Tension meter to full while knocking them down. It also has the advantage of consuming only 2/3rds of the Burst meter, regardless if you hit or whiff with it. Also, you are invincible afterwards until you hit the ground (you can be thrown, however).

The blue burst can only be used in a defensive state, is used to interrupt combos, for the most part, consumes 2/3rds if hit and 100% if whiffed/blocked, and if whiffed/blocked, leaves you vulnerable as you hit the ground.

I'm pretty sure Ukemi is different from teching. Techs are mid-air recoveries (you might also be able to tech as you hit the ground, I can't remember), but an Ukemi is when you're already on the ground, you can roll to either side or get right back up.

I was strictly against playing Bang when I first saw Blazblue over a year ago, but after seeing more about him, I gradually started to like him. Now he looks too fun to not use! :D

Day 1!!!!

I said it in the unofficial thread but THIS is the game I built my custom fight stick for. I love the art style and I love Aksys's unique character and game designs. I dont know if I'll ever be any good at BlazBlue but I sure am looking forward to trying!

Looked it up and made sure using Dustloop's guide.

I'm not infallible, though, so feel free to correct.

It's pronounced Blaze Blue not Blaz Blue, right?

LIke the B is an E in a cool stylish way, right?

Dude I talked to on XBL kept saying "Blaz Blue. You gunna get Blaz Blue?"

I was like you mean "Blaze??". "No, BLAZ!".

I'm pretty sure it's "Blaze Blue". I guess they left the E off to make it that much more awesome?!

I can't wait for this game. :D

It's only read that way because putting "BlazBlue" into Katakana is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole! However, "burei" certainly points towards the correct punctuation being "blaze".

In the japanese interviews I always hear "Burei Buru"

So I think it's "Blay Blue". Like, the Z is supposed to be silent.

Yes. Faultless Defense has a great pushback, especially in the corner, so it gives the defender a bit of breathing space. From what I've seen, Barrier is smaller. From people who've played Accent Core Plus and BlazBlue, can you ascertain whether the difference is significant?

well technically, how exactly does the size of the barrier matter?? If you are blocking high and using barrier, you are still susceptible to low attacks.

basically, if an opponent can make contact with you guarding with barrier up, they will receive the pushback effect. Otherwise, the attack will just whiff once they've been pushed back enough. By no means does the barrier increase your hit box, it's just a defensive option.

-EDIT-

here's more in depth blurbs about both games' blocking systems;

can someone explain how the story mode is 30hrs long?
Click to expand...

Probably something like 1-2 hours per character. Might use branching paths like Guilty Gear so there could be repetition. Like all figures for playtime, take it with a grain of salt.

Indeed. If they say 30 hours, you can safely bet on 15. I imagine there'll be a degree of repetition involved, as with GG, to get all endings.

I hope single player story mode isnt like GGAC+, that lacked substance with just a few words and then battling.

At the very least it looks like they've put more effort into the cutscenes than in Guilty Gear.

Probably getting both when they come out over here, but think I'll prefer KOF XII overall even though I liked Guilty Gear XX #Reload a lot back in the day. Not particularly fond of the loops peeps are already discovering (most likely going to be a rare occurance online but still), coupled with my distaste for most of the character designs in this.

Either way: I hope both games have solid netcode. That's what matters most to me.

really dumb question:

I know the PS3 is more lenient than the 360 as far as which controllers it will accept.

Can I plug my 360 SFIV pad into the PS3 and have it work?

If not, I've got an old Red Octane stick that I got at Otacon years ago I could use, but I'll need to get an adapter.

This is bizarre, I can't seem to edit the OP anymore. First time I tried to add those PS3 themes, I made the changes, but when I saved the changes it didn't make the edit. I went to try again and now the whole deal goes blank. Tried it in two different browsers with the same result. However, I had no problems editing another thread of mine. Is that what happens when you hit the character limit on a post or something?

Quoting the post does the same thing, it shows up blank...

Is it possible for anybody else "quote" the OP? You don't actually have to post the quote, I just need to know it can be done. It's really weird that I can't edit it anymore...

Anyone know if this runs in 1080p (even if scaled) on the PS3?

I can't decide which system to get it for, so it's coming down to nitpicky things. (My TV cuts off less of the edges on a 1080p picture)

BlazBlue ran at 720p in the arcades. We don't really have too much information as of now on the differences between the 360 and PS3 version, the only one we know for sure is that the tips bonus disc is on Blu-Ray for PS3 and is DVD on 360.
