^^^ good rundown of differences btw gg series vs. sf series

two of the things that dude says - that the game is incredibly well balanced and that inputs are friendlier - make me really want to get this. im pretty boss @ soul calibur but i never managed to get there w/ sfiv some im hoping this can help split some of the differences

I'm a big fan of GG but man it is hard to find people who actually play it (or have ever played it), so the opportunity to really get into the game was never there. Maybe BlazBlue will have a better shot with online play, but I'm skeptical.

The inputs generally are friendlier but they do often use those wacky half-circle+ motions that KOF uses, I wouldn't necessarily call those easier than double shoryuken. Then again, I couldn't really get into those Soul Calibur/Tekken-type motions either.

I've decided on arakune

tier whoring yes pls

maybe v-13

better than sfiv???

If Noel were real I woudl do everything I could to make her my girlfriend. She is the perfect women she's smart and beautiful and has a great sense of humor but she can't let people get that close to her to see that. She is sensitive and wonderful I know we would be a great match I am all of those things too I would find a way to get inside of her defenses inside those places she doesn't let other people touch. It's not just that she's beautiful or a skilled fighter and battler commander I wanted to say people aren't apreaciating the depth that she has.

One day maybe the Wheel of Fate will turn her to me

r.i.ws

its like 5B 6A 5B jC 5B u no we all no its 2 REAL

pretty hungover but into this idk fascinated w/ the nomenclature too cant really ~understand~ fukken love it tho its pretty n/l. not sure about the ~implications~ of treating something w/ sexualized girl robots like its the torah fumbling towards deep meaning in spacing and canceling.

u can do some pretty cool lookin shit tho like HOW CAN I JUST SHOT A MAN WELL NOT A MAN AN INCORPOREAL BATHROBE WITH A FACEMASK THAT SHOOTS BEES BUT DAMN I CAN JUST KILL A MAN

import this shit for your ps3 already coz - want 2 talk about it w/someone that doesnt have creepy avt pic

i hope each and every1 of u fukks dies a painful death if u arent playing this.

slowly worken my way thru the story mode - deep feelins and real situations abound - desp tryna avoid cop b/r check an faq but its ~tiresome~ to work out some of the VICTORY CONDITIONS. def the kinda game where every character feels playable even w/o yanking a special stick to some DEEP STRATEGY FAQ

662B ALL TIME

hurtin heavy in my heart here

would i like this? is it street fighterish? not a big fan of anime shit in general.

well its a 2D fighter so its vaguely SFish but its different in execution and balancing. SFIV esp is a defensive game whereas this an offensive one. there are pretty large tactical differences but thats for srk nerdz + me 2 worry about. friend of mine that just button mashes like this better altho shes getting pretty good at SFIV

coz i thought u had a PS3????? or is it really expensive to import?

dude who ws selling me a ps3 led me on then didn't sell me it ;_:

looking into 'flashing' my 360 to make it region free : /

Haven't really been able to get into BlazBlue so far. I don't think it compares very favorably to Street Fighter. It seems to lean on offense to an excessive degree and lends itself to button mashing. Will try to put more time into giving it a chance though. The screen can get rather busy and it's hard to react to or even visually understand what the other player is doing (at least with the limited time I've had with the game). If Street Fighter equals speed chess, BlazBlue equals trying to shoot somebody with a machine gun while you're both mounted on motorcycles racing around each other at 100 mph.

Aw man that sounds like a cool game. Why hasn't anybody made that game yet? You could call it Bike Wars

jeff sfiv plays so syrupy to me esp compared to bb which is like walking the knifes edge. once u get to higher lvls of play the mashing thing is patently untrue but i like the fact that as someone who was new to the game and arcsys style fighting games two weeks ago i could still have fun and own a little w/ only v. basic knowledge. that theres less of a gap btw new players and lvl 1 or 2 players isnt a bad thing imo

sfiv has 2 be more transparent because @ heart its a reactive game, its slower, its more abt zoning than striking. lame analogy maybe but sfiv = tactics bb = strategy. bb is also str8 up prettier and the characters are better, more interesting and complex and their styles are better differentiated. h2h can get and will get really deep in this. already there seems to be greater variance in styles, approaches and char selection on-line.

basically its a dope game and im finding it more satisfying than sfiv which id give up on.

gonna play as carl

lawl gl w/ that

every1 dies sometimes

net play on this is pretty good and its pretty interesting to see as the game gets more settled and the player base grows how the character distribution is spreading. basic no1 playing carl or boobies but most of the other characters (even tager lol wtf) gettin love ~ jin and noel (u_u) repped the most but its a better spread i think.

its weird maining a player that gets used a lot lol hd remix vega and how much it sets up a metagame esp in ranked where d-spam and 6c startup ish gets used by so many noel players and im like defying expectations on some throw loop shit. gettin ppl aggro tho esp since noel won EVO fuck a vampire every goddam day

coz idk just feelin like this game is ~!DEEP!~ its simple enough to build combos/strat that i can actually execute in game which was a prob for me in SFIV ell oh ell

AYE I KNO BUT I AM GAY BRITISH INNIT

<3 carl and gonna clap loop fools to death when this thing drops

oh wht's tht u say u don't want to be clap looped? CLAP LOOP!

i was wondering if jess scared him away

coming to psp and dsi
http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/12/11/blazblue_dsiware/

this is still an amazing game and yet

at some point i started to feel like blazblue was this terrible dream i was having, rather than a real game. like it had started to permeate my life and my head was filled with ostensible "facts": that this was a successor to the guilty gear series, that noel's "optic barrel" is too slow to use effectively, that rachel's butler is named valkynham &c but no one i know has played it and almost know one has even heard of it.

playing it i -still- get that same sympathetic vertigo i would get from rushplaying smb3 your body rigid with focus yet feeling like you were on the precipice. maybe because bb is such an offense-oriented fighter? it plays quickly and somewhat chaotically there's very little waiting, which i like. it's also incredibly intuitive. but i came to this game like a vocation, w/ a feverish intensity and to its credit the game rewarded it. there is a lot of strategic depth to the game, the balance is really well done and counterstrategies exist for almost any gamestyle.

also to its credit the game is completely fun for new players and those less inclined to putting in hours - the story mode is surprisingly engrossing and you can button mash enough cool-looking stuff to make it fun just picking up and playing.

i'm not sure how many ppl were just not into it, or if it got lost in the shuffle but i know there are a bunch of fighting game fans on ilg and i thought id bump this thread again - its a great game and i wish more ppl would play it

doesn't exist in europe

I was just about to say, "too bad they didn't port this to PC!" and then I looked it up, and it IS getting a PC port, at the same time the Euro ports come out. Maybe I'll try it then - I liked the GG games too, but had a similar feeling as Lamp in that... "hey, lots of cool stuff! this game rules!" followed quickly by "wow, too bad nobody plays this at all".

I mean, I already have an embarassing amount of knowledge about the Street Fighter series - not just movesets but character histories and so forth - but somehow when I delve into KOF or GG it feels even worse due to their lack of popularity (here in the US) in an already unpopular genre. But at least SFIV has revived things to some degree, which I'm be grateful for.

they most frustrating thing of all is that arcsys has already put a sequel/updated version in arcades w/rebalanced characters, new art and two new characters ~`~

its hard to tell ppl to buy an obsolete game

I think this is the game I regret passing over more than any other this year. I just don't have the time to learn how to be even not shitty at a fighting game these days (especially since I can't bribe myself with a preposterous fuckoff fightstick which I'll probably only ever use twice, THANKS ECONOMY) but everything I see and read about it makes it seem like this generation's "Every Button Makes A Ton Of Ridiculous Shit Happen" title.

james, don't gimme no junk arcade stick crybaby excuse! as a cheapass padder 4 life, you can live and die by it son

There are some really good deals to be had on fight sticks right now, the MadCatz Street Fighter IV arcade stick that I paid $80 for (which was totally worth it), are going for $43.99 (ps3) and $49.99 (360) on Amazon. Also as of this second, there's some kind of amazon deal on the Limited Edition Tekken 6 fight stck that comes w/ the game for only $77.99 (must resist).

so, something may have appeared on the internets this weekend

jp sdtrks leaked?????????

push buttons and push buttons and hush put ons and spun tubbins and on such bttn

RIP

incidentally anyone going to pick up the PSP version?

woah pretty cool news re:continuum shift

Game is 75% complete
- Story mode will be 1.5 or 2 times bigger than Calamity Trigger
- The game will be patchable for character balance.
- Continuum Shift is incorporating Street Fighter 4's Arcade Fight Request, which allows you to play through single player while waiting for an online opponent. But now you can turn this feature on during Training Mode and Arcade Mode.
- Player rankings for 360 and PS3 were separate before, but now they will be CROSS-PLATFORM. Note you cannot play cross-platform, it's just the ranking of all the players.
- Training Mode will be voiced by Rachel as she teaches you how to play the game.

it's just the ranking of all the players.

d-d-damn might finally see a list of the worlds best 20 blazblue players huh

Did anybody pick up the new version?

I'm thinking about getting this for ps3...

Did this ever come out for PC in the US? Not that it much matters at this point, since it was the first version, but I just noticed it made a appearance on the new GFW store. Too bad it's not CS.
