Mostly just a general gameplan I should incorporate with Rachel and a starter BnB. After getting this combo off on someone for like 4500 damage with Noel I think I'm ready to try Rachel again. My execution was horrible in CT.
Thanks for this.

Sure, no problem.
A good oki setup combo (meterless and midscreen) is 6A, 5B, sj.B, j.A, j.B, j.C, dj, (slight delay), j.2C, j.214B (air pumpkin). If you want more damage, from the double jump, you can do j.B, j.C, 236A.
I also think that a CH 6B now wall bounds? Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't so I don't really know, but I think it's guaranteed if you follow it up with 5D (6D). So you can do CH 6B, 6D, 66 (dash), 5B, into air combo... I THINK.
Ah, ok. I'm gonna write these down on my flashcards. Thanks.

You could save like 5 bucks if you buy the Vita one off PSN
I played the very first BB and I used Bang. I'm liking the way Makoto and Tsubaki look. How does Bang compare to the vanilla release?
Who are some good players I could watch for any of those characters? If I like playing it on the Vita enough, I'll uprgrade to a console so I can play with a stick.
I don't have a problem with the dpad, but the buttons being so small makes it really difficult to do simultaneous buttons. I'm going to have to figure out how to configure L and R.

I'm spending $100 on the MLB: The Show combo. Can't resist.
Just bought a pair of PDP Trigger Grips. As soon as I get out of work, I'll be trying BlazBlue to see how it feels with a bit of palm support on the Vita.
I was looking at those on amazon. They actually looked like they'd make it a lot more comfy.

Don't know the big names for the other characters.
OMG! Who's the other character? He turned into Talbain! INSTANT INTEREST!
The guy he's against? Valkenhayn.

I'd also recommend to watch some vids. Kure Hane's Rachel is amazing.

edit: another vid, except this one, I have no idea who it is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St5nAxJPFA0#t=2m56

Sure, unless you like, have an attachment to the old score attack mode, I guess.
Including the CT story mode shows that the localization is better in CS. I'm playing Tsubaki's story mode now and there's a flashback with Jin and he actually sounds like a child, unlike in CT. Also the writing was worse in CT. A lot of it sounded too much like an anime fansub.
Speaking of Story mode, does Hakumen's story mode ever unlock? >_>

So... I got this on Vita but I'm a complete noob. What characters are good for noobs?

I would highly recommend you to go with the character that you like rather than going with the easiest to use. Try out the basic training about the mechanics, then go through the characters' challenges to get a feel.
If you REALLY just want least amount of effort to high reward, go for Ragna or Hakumen. They're both easier to use than most of the cast and high damage output.

Yeah pick Ragna

Okay, I'll try everyone a little and choose the coolest/hottest, as usual But I'll keep in mind Ragna, just in case.
I like fighters but I've never been even remotely pro and I have almost no idea of how this game works, but the couple matches I've played have been fun. AND I have to review it so yeah, I needed some guidance so that I wouldn't choose the hardest route.
Thanks guys!

Well, this makes it easy! Just learn the in game tutorial and jump into story mode.

Oh, didn't have time to check that out yet, just did some quick fights... will do
I must say that the game is gorgeous in motion, I didn't think it would look so good. And the controls are pretty responsive for now

I'm not done with 'baki yet. She's still got it!
Relius is still awesome though.
Anyone done the new story yet? Makoto's is insane.
Time travel? WTF?

I know, right, wtf was that? Parallel universes.
Her "Help Me Prof. Kokonoe" was pretty great, though.
Without knowing much at all about Relius, is his drive similar to Carl or do you not need to hold it down as much(I see his robot isn't always out like Ada). I'm on a pad and would have to remap the D button to play Carl right, wondering if Relius would need that too.
I've only done hers so far, the gag ending was hilarious.

You do not need to hold her to move. She just follows you behind. Press D once to summon, press it again to make her disappear. She also disappears if she gets hit (except for projectiles) or if Relius gets hit.

No joke.
Hazama's new voice is growing on me. I haven't heard his insane voice yet, though.
Ha ha, nice.

Lies, you gave up after like 2 weeks. She's closer to CS Rachel than CT Rachel.

Noel's voice up in the BB store
Nu had actual space control.
Bought this for Vita, can't get into it at all. The game is absolutely beautiful though, loving just watching how good it looks. It's such an old school fighter and I feel it's really hard to fight if you aren't standing right next to the enemy.
Disappointing, maybe it's just not for me.

Play for the story then. I hear it's really good.
Lambda has great space control. Lambda can completely shut down air approaches because even if she misses with swords/act parser wankery she still has crescent saber and a head invulnerable AA, and she has pinwheel, swords, act parser, well, and spike gimmicks for ground.Nu had actual space control.
That's actually why I bought it lol, I'm interested in the anime cutscenes.
Lol yeah because that would be dumb.
Jump cancel?
Wow, didn't this game only come out this week? The thing is like golddust in Nottingham. Went to HMV, nothing. Went to Grainger Games, nothing. Went to GAME right across the way from Grainger Games, nothing but I did get to play a bit of Gravity Rush (didn't care for the Vita but the game itself was a lot of fun). Went to Gamestation, nothing. Went to the other GAME, nothing, but this was the first time seeing the Vita version of the game, it was like; £33 and had a sticker on it saying downloadable only. I laughed my way out of the store. Finally found a copy of it in a local store, they had like 1 LE and 1 regular. Needless to say I swooped down on that LE and had anyone else even looked at it at the time I would have had to settle things like gentlemen.
In the end it was worth it for the godlike boxart (sure as hell isn't worth it for the contents).
This game made me salty before I even managed to buy it!

It might lose a bit of background quality due to the the lack of anti-aliasing (though I can't recall if the game on PS3 has anti-aliasing or not). It's really not very noticeable though, since the game is running at native res and looks gorgeous anyways.

PS3 version has quincunx AA for backgrounds so if that were missing from Vita I would even call it an improvement. Thankfully the Vita isn't anything like BBCT PSP which had 2D versions of the backgrounds.
There's also the CT set of Teach Me, Ms. Litchi! that is strangely omitted. Otherwise, CS:EX seems to include pretty much everything to date.

My Zavvi copy should be with me tomorrow, seeing as I'm in Nottingham too I would assume a good connection if you want to fight sometime?
