Picked it up. Having fun so far.

But you're putting yourself so out there for little reward imo. One Tager Drive and pretty much half your health is gone.

True. But you know, there's also not getting hit, something good players try to do.

And also playing the game for fun.

Anyone know how to perform Vermillion's astral drive ? this shit is just weird. the commands are there but uhh...how long do i have to hold the down button ?

Well, the game just arrived a few minutes ago. UPS decided to take their time in delivering it. Anyway, gonna try it out soon and see how things go :)

Catch me on PS3 Online wit this shit - The_Flowman is my name

Also my roommate does work, too - Xeraux

Who do you main?

I'm a Rachel and Litchi player.

So got this yesterday and spent most of the day playing it. Trying to main Tager as much as possible.

Just need the correct paths in the Story mode so I can 100% all of 'em, is all.

There's a few forums which have all of the routes outlined.

Protip: Lose to Tager in Noel's story for ultimate hilarity.

Sod all you guys making this sound fun, there's not even vague talk of a European release. Grrr.

Well, there's the PS3 option since that's region free for games. That's the platform I went with because I wasn't about to even try to use the 360's d-pad for this thing. Also preferring dualshock for any PC fighter I play.

Yeah, but I have the SFIV TE stick for the 360, so really I'd prefer to pick up any fighters on that platform. I do have a Hori EX3 for the PS3, so there is that option, but it doesn't hold a candle to the TE stick.

The other issue with the PS3 version is finding somewhere I can import it from.

Picked up Nu/v-13 today on a whim, since I was getting tired of owning with Rachel for hours (and losing to Arakune consecutively after a while pissed me off). I'm enjoying Nu immensely. She's very fun to play despite her very low health and emphasis on long-range gameplay. I may end up replacing Litchi as my alt if things end up well with Nu.

I still hate the holy-fuck out of Bang, and Arakune's frustrating with his BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES, at least as Rachel, which is weird since the match-up shouldn't be in his favor. In fact, either my friend got better with Arakune, or I was having an off day. Last week, the fights I had with RA/ARA were intense, but I typically came out the victor. The problem I faced today was getting George and the pumpkin out fast enough to counter Ara's fog and insect spamming, while also pressuring him, since he too excels at long-range combat (as well as air dominance, which Rachel doesn't in this case).

I just played this for the first time in the arcade and I tried out Arakune and Noel. Arakune wasn't really my style but I really like Noel save for the lack of aerials (or so it seemed). How does Noel fare?

Expect a lot of Noel players when you play online, although most of them are pretty scrubby and spam Drive attacks without fully understanding what they're doing.

She's a load of fun once you get to know her, but she's kind of easy to spam with, even if you don't intend to do so. Granted, I haven't trained with her outside of random, spur of the moment picks with friends. This 'problem' may disappear when you actually sit down and actively practice with her.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I plan on trying out the other characters as well but for now, Noel is pretty fun and hell, maybe I can actually become a player that knows what they're doing with her in time. :P

I understood about 95% of Chain Revolver and yes it is a spamfest ready to swarm the online world. I've done about a few links with CR and basic combos and they work but sometimes you can easily get out of it to just land or fly into your doom. You just gotta know what you're doing. overall, she's a good character to start off/main with if that's your choice =].

Tager's a 10 second battle since all he does is stand, grab,rush and super attack you . He doesn't suck or anything but you'll have to spend time in the practice room with the big guy so you can predict people online.

My reactions of the game so far: Haku-men and Nu can go fuck themselves. I realize I suck at fighting games, but seriously, they're impossible in arcade mode. Although I proved myself wrong by beating them, but that was probably some chance in hell.

I would actually like to play some matches with GFFers, so add me on XBL. Name: Yeldarbskich.

Throwing my name out there for some online ass kicking. Playing mostly Bang. Any other character and I tend to flail and hope for the best.

GT: RealPT1

S+, would watch again.

Alternatively, beat Bang with a distortion/astral finish in Tager's story. Guaranteed 100% daily dose of "WTF is this shit, Japan?".

Justin Wong apparently disowned Blazblue in a comment he made about the game at the latest Evo tourney in Las Vegas. Whatever. He can enjoy getting his ass handed to him by Daigo.

I picked up Litchi as my main and I'm doing pretty well with her. I dumped Nu after getting fed up of seeing her everywhere in vids and online (not nearly as bad as Jin Ice Car spammers). Rachel needs work and she's still my alt, but I'm still not very confident in my ability to play her anymore.

Someone at Dustloop made this. Made me lol.

lmao RIDE THE ICE CAR laughing at that image for life.

But have you seen how dat one guy from the bonus DVD use Litchi? That's some effective use right there; am deeply impressed.

Both of my friends that got BlazBlue decided to trade their copies in, so now I'm lacking in (non-random) people to play.

I main Taokaka, 360 version. XBL Tag: Generator Leon

I've been playing a lot online recently (PSN is ElTacoSegundo) and I've actually been doing pretty well for myself. I typically only lose to Jins, but there are a ton of them out there. There have also been a couple of Rachels and a couple of Litchis that really worked me something fierce.

Almost no other Tao players, at least none that I've fought.
