Thanks for the controller-related replies, guys.

Anyway, I've gotta work on my Litchi, Nu, and Jin Especially Nu, for my pal, Papercuts

 

[FindMyFarms]

Holy crap, was playing online matches w/ dunpeal the other day(gg's), and just now realized he's from yurops. Felt damn near lagless, online play in this is really something else.


Also, when we running the blazblue tourney? If it's on PS3 we should make it a one sitting tournament. Should be easy w/ psn chatroom.

He's going to hate you for the rest of his life. :lol

I love Papercuts. He sounds like me online.

EDIT: Oh yeah, earlier I got harrassed by some stanger from rankings mode that I befriended via voice chat because I had trouble inviting their friends online (I'm new to Xbox Live). I hope I can erase him. T_T

Sometimes he does, yeah; however, I always know who's who when laughter kicks in (and the fact that you don't actually sound the same ).

Anyway, I had no idea he hated Nu! I swear! :lol I just really felt compelled to try and have at least two characters I'm good with, in case I can't beat certain characters with another. Anyway, I'm totally loving Jin after our matches D:

Yeah, you can delete him. Just press the home button, go to "Friends," find him, and "Remove Friend" (or something like that). To be honest, after he invited his friends I was like, "=/" on my end 'cause every other word was a variation of "Fuck." Sheesh.

Anyone want to play with me on 360?

New to the game and need some people to practice with!

Gametag is JoeFenix so send me some friend requests and let's get something going

I added you through xbox.com, but won't be on until tomorrow (My GT's my name on here)

 

[Heretic Kazuma]

Yeah, I hate fighting Carls online so much. Sometimes I can't tell if they're setting up the clap trap so I tend to barrier burst way too early. Apparently Tager vs. Carl is the most one sided according to dustloop(In Carl's favor, so it's worse than Nu or Arakune), the only part that is good is his life is the lowest in the game so it only takes a few good hits to end it quick. I should probably see videos on how to do the claptrap so I see when I should burst, whenever I get hit in the air and see that robot move I get way too cautious.

Yeah, this is one of those match-ups I feel guilty playing. But, there are only 3 things to look out of when fighting Carl: 1) If Carl's 3C hits you (the one where he slides into your shin), burst. If he or she catches you a second time with 3C, consider the round over; 2) If the 3C hits you as the 8th (or higher) hit of a combo, you can tech out of 3C right away to avoid the clap; 3) Depending on the timing the Carl player uses, it MIGHT be possible to escape the loop if you break the throw at the latest possible moment.

Hope that helps.

 

[Steaks]

Tager's magnetic charge move will negate the knockback on a barrier burst, but it's only really viable if you were pretty obvious when you were going to burst.

If someone doesn't have full barrier meter and you're doing a combo, the burst will have a slower startup and generally auto-guard the next hit in your combo, you can almost always cancel this into a 236236B with Tager and punish their burst without even going out of your way.

I was playing with him the other day too and there was some lag at times. Still it was pretty good considering how far away he is.

I think the chances of a Tager vs. Nu is fairly well known. D:

Damn though, I'll take Noel's long corner combos over sword juggling my huge hitbox any time. :lol

That actually is helpful, thanks!

Being able to tech out of 3C if the combo is high enough is interesting, now my main worry is whether or not most/all Carl players actually know how to do the trap! I got out of the trap before just by bursting in the air, they must not have done it right...and considering I'm already on higher alert, getting hit by a random 3C and bursting would probably seem dumb if, on their end, they just decided to use that move and don't know the followup, but I guess a precaution helps over a potential instant loss.

If someone doesn't have full barrier meter and you're doing a combo, the burst will have a slower startup and generally auto-guard the next hit in your combo, you can almost always cancel this into a 236236B with Tager and punish their burst without even going out of your way.

Haha, that's pretty cool. I noticed that combing the sparkbolt into the magna tech wheel gets people to burst a lot, depending on when they do it they may get sucked in and get hurt badly anyway.

Yeah, that's awesome! Hopefully the game does very well for them, does anyone know how much of a sellthrough that is from all the LEs they shipped?

 

[Relix]

Your package is in the UPS system and has a rescheduled delivery date of 07/21/2009.

If that shit is true someone will die. It better be not. I even took the afternoon free for this XD!

Also... nice sales for one day!

If they put that message in the system it's because somebody at UPS sent it to the wrong place, so it'll be there on 7/21 at the earliest. It happens a lot at UPS it seems.

Is Litchi a hard character to pick up? I was playing some casuals today and for all the practicing I did I got whooped. I got frustrated and chose Jin and rode the ice car to victory.

I was thinking of picking up Jin but I'm having thoughts of SF4 Ken and fierce shoryuken = ice car.

Very hard and not really worth it either.

If the game does this well, maybe they'll bring it to Europe one day.

import it. ps3 is region free.

I'm fucking ready for you now Grifter.

All that for lil' ol' me? So flattering.

I would if I had a PS3 ;_ ;

Why did they first announce the 360 version to be region free and after a few weeks suddenly decide it was going to be region locked?

You'll generally get whooped using anyone but Jin/Noel playing casuals, since you'll have no effective way to dish out damage without learning the combos.

Litchi is probably a tad tough to learn, but she's certainly not the hardest. I don't think it matters that a character is though to learn, just learn the character you like, you'll appreciate the game a lot more in the end.

Anyways, I expect to be playing this a lot more at the end of the month. I convinced my buddy to get the game when it's in stock again, which is likely when the regular edition comes out.

I think there was some red tape they ended up not being able to get past, or something.

I'm sure this game is already considered extremely successful by Aksys. A game this niche completely selling out in days is a good sign.

 

[FoxSpirit]

What's bad is that thanks to June 30th, salesnumbers vare split between June and July. So many people got it on July 1st, it would've been nice to see total sales of the LE.

Like most months, the end of the month is not the cutoff for NPD numbers, I think it went a few days into July, but not sure how many.

Forget it, score attack is just evil.

I still think these are pretty good numbers. It also helps that this game was released in the middle of summer far away from the fall titles bound to take up all the space.

Gamertag is xXSteelBlazinXx on xbl for anyone looking for games later on today.

 

[Drame]

While looking for some summer deals at Play, I came across with this http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/11072577/Blazblue-Calamity-Trigger/Product.html

There hasn't been any offical word on the EU release yet, right? So did Play just put the game on their website without any confirmation of the EU release what so ever, or do they know something.

No, there hasn't been... it's been up for a few days but unfortunately noone was able to confirm any further.

 

[TheExodu5]

:lol From what ive witness online good rush down ragna's can get into Nu a bit, i still can't do anything with Arakune against her.

I'm sure Rachel is a good counter to Nu...at least I'd think so.

 

[Drame]

Well, just as I thought.

I imported my copy so EU release or not doesn't mean much to me, but for my buds who aren't that eager to import EU release would be awesome.

I really hope some company brings BB to europe.

what's this now?

 

[Lostconfused]

what's this now?

2nd player is able to come in and interupt the match or something if you are loosing. So then you can just beat the 2nd player and take another shot at score attack without having to start over.

Edit: by 2nd player i mean the 2nd controller that you connect to your console.

Wow, now THAT brings back memories.

Like "To get to that boss you mustn't loose a round". Set matches to one round and if you are about to loose, "A new challenger has appeared". P2 saves the day. I wonder if this is an intentional homage?

Maybe, maybe not? Score Attack is in the arcade version too (you hold A+B+C+D at the title screen before you press Start), so this looks more like a direct port of that arcade mode—same exact thing occurred when someone came to challenge you.

Had some great fun with JoeFenix last night! Thanks for the matches! We have to play again. Though now this time my Joystick has been upgraded with Sanwa parts!

As you can see it's a Madcatz Street Fighter 4 SE stick, but I replaced the joystick and all the buttons with Sanwa parts....oooooh it feels so much better. No more sticking buttons! Nice clicky joystick! I'm waiting on an octagonal gate to arrive in the mail still, but I can already feel the difference. I don't feel so much like I'm fighting my controller anymore.

For anyone who's remotely thinking about modding one of these sticks or worried that it's hard, don't be. It's trivial. It took me about 20 minutes to replace all 8 buttons and the stick. If you know which end of a screwdriver to hold, you can do this mod.

 

[Teknoman]

Im just glad my SE stick still works fine. No sticking buttons, directions, or anything strange. Used to square gates now too :lol

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo. You will get better. How I got better was watching the DVD that came with the game. I learn so much after that
