Seemed to be working for me tonight. Last week it didn't work at all. It's probably because most people aren't doing ranked right now and just doing arcade and player matches.

Definitely makes sense, especially since that's why I always used Rachel. That Marvel-like screen control. lol
I thought it was a known thing that ranked matchmaking was pretty much broken -- and between that and players outside of Japan being rare as it is, you'll probably have a bad time of it.

Haven't played for a week. Just went into training mode and I still remember my combo's in addition to coming up with a sneaky one that I have yet to try out in a real match. Going to see if I can find some people to try it out on in an hour or so.
I dunno, I got this sweet 9 next to my title thing now.

So guys, coming from a guy who played Persona 4 Arena for about a year on a normal level, will I feel like Blaz Blue is too hard?
Thinking of getting the game when it arrives in the West

As an MSP player, this is all starting to make sense. lol
There's a lot more to learn in BB (especially with the cast), but I wouldn't say you'll find it too hard.
The only problem is if you start playing players that have already imported it.
Just put in the time and you'll be fine though.

lol What the fuck, ALL of Relius' anti airs are fatal counters? xD
I find P4A to be more different than I would have anticipated. Both games play differently, but if you've never touched BB before you'll have a harder time initially getting used to CP because of the much larger cast as well as some additional systems like barrier guarding and Overdrive.
Those additional systems, however, are rather simple.

LOL doing amane's drills in overdrive does so much chip. I just blew someone up in 14 seconds xD

Anyone wants to fight for like 15-30 minutes before I need to go to bed?
Want me to invite you to the lobby with me and Vanilla?

One would think that I should have some idea of how to aproach a vs Mu match up but apparently I'm pretty damn clueless.

Well I was about to type that next one would be the last one anyways.
GGs, sure is annoying to be on the receiving end of Mu's attacks for once lol

Yeah, first time I had to deal with that 214B myself and it hit every time when I played as Carl against your Mu.
Well looks like Bang is added to my growing list of potential subs. I finally took the time to get used to his newer inputs for his air normals and get his midscreen iad jC loops down, which I'm starting to nail most of the time. I just gotta learn some more optimal stuff and better setups for seals.

He seems like he has all the tools from the newer games while having all his old CT jump cancel funstuffs again. Makes me want to play him. Whole reason I dropped him was his mixup game went to shit and he became a mega derp character in CS

I don't think I'm going to be picking up GGXrd anymore.
For my own sake I think it's best I stop playing these games before I end up killing myself.

BB is about the only game I feel I can play.
Not sure if you remember but I raged hard after that P4A tournament. I felt totally helpless in that game, and I put tons of hours into it, pretty sure over 3k matches. GG I didn't put any time into, so I knew I sucked at it. I dropped UMvC3 and SF4 cause I couldn't stand them, and sucked at them.
Also, just so you know you were blocking incredibly well tonight. Didn't you work on that in training a lot this week? You've shown definite improvement (and block better than I do). Don't get discouraged. Just remember that everyone on here either imported BBCP cause they're really good, or really love the game and can't wait.
I'm getting GGxrd and I didn't really enjoy GGACXX++whatever. The visuals alone sold me on the game. I probably don't plan to learn that game outside of Ky projectile spamming.
Edit: Just so everyone that plays me knows, I can't even guard against my own Carl mixup...
man is this why you quit lol
Oh no worries, I think almost every player out there is vulnerable to their own character somehow lol
Fei mirrors in SF4 always embarass me because my own tricks get used against me and I never see them coming x_x

Getting better can be difficult, especially on your own. With guidance it's easier, and I'm sure a lot of people here are willing to give you specific tips on what to change. My suggestion is to face 1 or 2 people here in a lobby. Too many people in one lobby means less practice, but I feel it makes people want to win with whatever means necessary instead of calming down and adapting at times. And with another person there, you get to watch how they deal with whatever problems you're having.
BTW, is it possible to send people replays? That would probably help in your case too to make it easy to give pointers.

At least you're not even close to being as bad as me.

Pretty sure they're difderent save datas so no.
Makes sense, thanks.
That also makes sense.
Guess it depends whether it's tied to the save data or the account.
Doubtful. I own both the Japanese and American versions of P4 Arena. When I moved my account over to an American system, the rankings were reset.

haha it's best not to be too hard on yourself. Getting good at something takes time.

Yeah, and honestly it's frustrating, but hey if you have fun playing that's all that matters right?
...Well, at least I tell myself that. Being in the "better than beginners/people that don't know how to play but still bad enough to never really beat anyone actually good" position is frustrating as fuck.
I want to play again but I won't be available until in like 2 hours.

It is.
I think the problem with Blazblue is the characters are so different and fun to play. Everytime it starts to get difficult or I hit the wall with somebody it is too tempting to switch and go through that "fun" period again.
This is me in every fighting game I play haha.

I wonder when they will dig out the hitbox data for BBCP
Real talk, rachel has the stupidest air throw hitbox ever

Ignoring range, I dunno what gives me more salt. Trying to AA Litchi's j2D, clashing, and getting hit by the second part. Or expecting a wakeup DP and getting 6D'ed and losing all momentum lol
