Define "very end". Like 100% on every character or just hitting the endings?

scene at the end of the true ending credits
no achievement for 100% with every character, just art and japanese sound unlocks
 
So Giant Bomb has a quick look up for BlazBlue. They don't seem too hyped for the game but I couldn't help but notice Jeff Gerstmann almost never presses the Drive button while fighting, and he said he'd already beaten arcade mode at least once.

I hate how you have to fulfill the conditions for Astral Heats even in Training mode. Several times already I've got annoyed by inability to properly execute them despite perfect input, only to realize that I forgot to set the health value below 20.

Okay, sweet. I've been looking at the achievements list and I think I might be able to get them all except the Score Attack achievement.

I take Gertsmann with a grain of salt when it comes to fighting games after his consistently horrible fucking VF game reviews. I can't recall if he changed his tune once VF went to Sony platforms; but for the longest time his reviews of fighting games have been a fucking joke.

Take Out Bandit...I am writing this to see if you still have me on your PhD. You're the only one on mine (as proper retaliation of course!).

Of course, I probably still am, and you're going to click View Post, but then you're going to not respond to me so I think you never read it so I would believe I'm still on your PhD. Of course this would be true meaning your trying to trick me into believing I'm on your PhD would not be a trick at all.

My head hurts...

I remember them being pretty darn hyped about MK vs. DC this time last year. And they gave that and SFIV both 5 stars I believe.

He says right in the video he isn't into fighting games. Gamespot should have picked someone else to review VF.

I was just saying is all. Jerk.

No, I'm just pointing out that the things you're saying make no sense to me.

I have no frame of reference is what I'm getting at.

"They gave it five stars!"

Stated with the assumption everybody follows this sites every word, or has an idea of what their screwed up review scale is. . . :\

5 stars out of 5 stars. Everyone does follow the site. It's Giantbomb. Maybe?

Obviously MK vs DC doesn't relate much at all to BlazBlue. I'm just saying they enjoy their fighting games even though they're of a different flavor than VF5 or BlazBlue.

Is it?

Sorry kiddo, I form my own opinions via rental / purchasing.

No use for game sites.

You can revoke my game nerd pass now, I don't hang desperately to Giantbomba's every word.

I would think that from the fact he was using that statement to refute your opinion that they hate fighting games you would be able to infer they use a 5 star scale, with 5 being the best.

I didn't say they hate fighting games.

I said Gertsman is a twat whose opinion I don't trust. :|

But enough of this bullshit.

Jin looks like he'll be my second despite being a douchey little animu boy.

Also Rachel is a fun Darkstalkers reject, but I don't know if I'd be able to use her against good players.

sick Arakune, bugs be flying everywhere! :lol

starting to really grasp the mechanics of this game, just gonna keep spending more time in training, working on combos and stuff like that.

Lovin this game.
 
story mode is much better than I thought it would be...it's really funny at points and Jin is fuckin psycho...this game is my current game of the year..

Got rocked online with my arcade stick, switched back and still got owned, thinking perhaps my Tao isn't as good as I thought....back to the lab I guess...

Tao is good, she is just an advanced character. Start out with Jin or Ragna. Those seem to be the major characters people use online. I personally use BANG though.

Cocksucker. :mad:

God damn that character, god damn him right in his blobby ass.

yeah he can be pretty difficult to fight, his throw into super is super damaging.

do blobs have asses?? lol

The game feels to me like a mix of Alpha, KOF, MVSC/2, and to a much much lesser extent, eternal champions. It is very easy to pick up and play but the half dozen or so defensive moves along with the oddball moveset makes it hard to master.

I never could grasp Guilty Gear even though I enjoyed it's wackiness. Blaze Blue has the same wackiness but so far has been *much* easier to get in to and start having fun with. That's the main difference to me besides the massive upgrade in the visuals of course.

Excellent question. Some blobs absorb things and increase their mass. . . :p

I just got ass-raped by Arakune using Tager; and like a dumbass I kept throwing myself at him and giving the person free perfects for about 20 minutes. :lol :lol :lol

If I manage to get my LE copy from EB, I'll hook a Canuck up who still doesn't have it.

For anyone near Milton, Ontario (Georgetown, Oakville, Halton Hills area), go to Play N' Trade. I just got a buddy to grab me a copy (thanks, Jiffy38!) from there, and PNT has a few more copies coming Monday.

Keep fighting!

Count me in as one of the Canadians waiting until next week(?) / end of the month for this sucker... dammit!

Currently sitting 6th on the pre-order list for the PS3 version in my local EB, hopefully we get that many.

FUCK

Unlimited Ragna is the epitome of complete and utter computer cheating bullshit. I cannot do anything to beat this fucker, and it's the very end of score attack...I have visibly seen my ice ride push him backwards, but he somehow is countering and doesn't get hit, and I never even get close to winning because he keeps gaining all of his health back. Jin's super spammy C move is somehow getting instant blocked for every swipe, his moves are all getting priority over mine, and a single hit of that grab distortion that takes like 70% of your life and gives it to him is basically the "you lose" screen. -_-

Hey, anyone who knows how to play this game wanna give me tips? This game is a bit overwhelming to me honestly.

Watching the video; stop playing like it's Street Fighter. Stay on top of the foe and abuse the chain system. A>B>C works well for most characters.

Also spend a little time in training building combos you are comfortable with.

The best advice for BrazBrue.

Online will be murder. :(

Yeah, best thing to do is try to learn some BnB combos and juggle combos. That way you have get a good idea of how to pressure your opponent. If carl has any stuns, LEARN THEM.

How the fuck do you even beat Rachel? god damn. I can't even imagine unlimited ragna. CARNAGE SCISSORS!

Carnage scissors is fine, it's that bullshit grapple that's the problem. :lol

I got really spammy with Jin on Rachel, she eats the ice board a lot. I'm also not surprised to see the vast majority of people who beat it are Jin and Nu players.

Yea, you won't see devoured by darkness to often from regular player. You essentially need 100 heat to pull it off. 50 for Blood Kain and then another 50 to pull it off. Most will just use BK for the ridiculous range it gives on drive attacks and more health leech.

Is it just me or does Score Attack not get easier whatever mode you have it on? I was getting fed up with hard score attack so I put the game on easy and still had problems. :|

I don't think you can change score attack difficulty...can you?
I thought it was just for Arcade and Story

Edit: Yeah, it does not change Score Attack difficulty. I set it to beginner and AI Bang was actually trying to hit me. He also managed to use Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan

Yeah, that's true, though I think you gradually gain Heat after Blood Kain anyway, though I'm not a big Ragna player and have no clue how long it usually lasts.

Yeah, you can't change it. Arcade on Hell was easier than Score Attack though, for reference. :p
