He was no more brain dead than Nu-13.
Old curse was just fine. I mean you had to hit them once to get bees, Nu could summon swords without even needing to touch you.
Devs were playing favorites

As much as people complain about Nu she's a very technical character at high level. There is a reason there was only a few really good ones and a bunch of shiity bandwagon nu's. She's not even on top of the best characters in the game list she's at the bottom. She's a great scrub killer character though.

I've been wondering is BBCP considered as fast as P4A? Playing P4A then going to BBCSEX is killing me since the overall movement just seems so sluggish.

[Fugu]

I feel like posting a video with Taokaka is disingenuous.

...Having said that, the game is far faster than P4A. Hell, I think CSEX is far faster than P4A.

 

[Onemic]

Wat

 

[QisTopTier]

Wat

its not he's crazy

 

[Fugu]

Yeah, I'm wrong. I haven't played P4A in almost a year.

 

[solid mike]

I'm looking for a new fighting game by ArcSys and was thinking of getting either P4A or BBCSE for PS3. Which do you recommend and why?

 

[Fugu]

It's hard to recommend buying either of them right now.

P4A is a horrible game that I hated more than any fighting game I've ever played.
BB:CSEX is a mediocre, outdated revision of a great game.

Seriously, buy CSEX if you don't mind having to pay $40 next year and you're alright with playing online. It's a great fighter that just happens to be horribly mismanaged by the company that publishes it.

EDIT: I actually play this game a lot. In fact, I'm playing it right now. It's just frustrating because it is so poorly managed.

I knew it. Had a gut feel that P4A wasn't inferior compared to BB. I've never played BB and I'm glad this CSE version contains all the characters. It's only $20 brand new at the store so I'm thinking of getting it in the weekend. Do people still play online though? Don't mind getting my ass handed to me as long as I learn.

P4A is 22.50 on PSN right now. Both the games are pretty equal in my opinion I've been playing P4A more lately. If you want more of a game where people aren't going to outright beat you every time choose P4A. P4A also has more beginner friendly systems. Most everyone that still plays BB are incredibly good and can beat you with most of the cast.

I'm just a little bothered with P4A's small roster. For me, a fighting game's replayability relies heavily on roster size. Tekken Tag 2 is an exception with all those clones. I'm also intrigued by BB's unique designs.

BB has that big roster size and most everyone is completely unique. I'd pick BB over P4A but if you're new to air dashers I'd say P4A is a better choice. I really just wanted to add a dissenting opinion because I like to be different.

 

[Fugu]

P4A's imbalanced roster and AAAAA make the game more friendly for beginners but BB is still plenty friendly. It has the most comprehensive in-game tutorial outside of Virtua Fighter and plenty of bad players still playing it.

Get bb then

 

[Ken]

Trying to learn Jin but his Sekkaijin into 66 whatever is giving me a hard time. What's the secret to it? I know it pops up on the 8th hit but is it dash cancelable too? I'll stop hitting C on the 8th hit and try to dash but it all feels really clunky or doesn't even come out.

From a story perspective, BBCSE covers the entire arc of the series, and it's a good story. P4A's requires you to have played P3/P4, and throws you right into the deep end.


As for the online, I play often, as do many. Tutorial is great as well. You'll get all the playstyles in P4 and then some.

Thanks. I only played like 1/4 of Persona 3, the portable version at that, then the UMD got busted. Never played Persona 4. Definitely getting BBCSE soon.

 

[Fugu]

Solid, Mike.

You did the right thing.

 

[Ken]

Does all of Jin's optimal stuff require being able to pull off Sekkajin 66 whatever.

 

[RoeBear]

Do people actually prefer saying the actual move names instead of number notation? I mean I know the game pretty well and I only know Carl's allegretto move name. I mean am I strange for not caring what anyone's move is called?

I say it because idunno how many Cs I should put lol. I guess 5CC?

Oh haha yeah that move I have no clue how to explain it it's kinda like mashing an all out attack for P4A. Just practice and eventually your body will know what to do.

I find long combos notated as inputs nigh unreadable.

 

[RoeBear]

Anyone want to fight with me?

 

[Ken]

Anyone want to fight with me?

I would but it would probably be pretty one-sided. I can play in 15 minutes if you don't mind that and potentially terrible lag.

I don't mind lag I've been dc'ing a lot so if you don't mind that

 

[Ken]

I don't mind lag I've been dc'ing a lot so if you don't mind that

I'm really bad though. I'll be on in 10 minutes then.

 

[QisTopTier]

I want to play some BB invite me guys

 

[RoeBear]

I'm really bad though. I'll be on in 10 minutes then.

I've come to accept that I'm bad at all fighting games no matter how much time I put into them.

It's ok I am too

 

[Ken]

i dc'd from the room while spectating i think

 

[QisTopTier]

I choked literally the other match LOL Was taking a drink and decided it was a good time to breathe

 

[RoeBear]

Makoto's DP is pretty good you should try throwing it out a bit more.

and her 6P

 

[Ken]

man i'm no good
are you guys importing bbcp?

oh yeah ggs. i got dc'd a second time and i don't think playing against me was very fun so i took the dc as a sign to leave.

 

[QisTopTier]

man i'm no good
are you guys importing bbcp?

I might, though I want story mode and stuff so I;m going to have to double dip which sucks

Edit: Just keep playing and taking your lumps you'll get things down slowly over time :3

 

[RoeBear]

man i'm no good

Not sure yet I want to know the story and I don't want to buy two copies of the game.

 

[solid mike]

So I just watched some gameplay vids of CP. Seriously, they removed Noel's beret? I loved that. Now she looks incredibly generic.

Idk I think she looks a lot more elegant with it off. Shows her characters movements better with the hair being in the animations now

And I think they replaced her one piece dress with a top and skirt.

 

[Fugu]

I am not sure if this is supposed to be sarcastic or not but Makoto's DP is terrible. Dat whacky hitbox.

I am importing. Not waiting for that.

 

[RoeBear]

It has a lot of start up invincibility I think so that makes it good imo.

Edit: The characters I use have no true DP's, Relius is the closest to having one and his is awful.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Does anyone have any experience with Izayoi? I may to go Evo for CP if it makes it next year, but I'm worried about Tsubaki's viability after getting mutilated at a local tournament. I wonder if she's even remotely similar.

From what I saw she's very Different, it's like comparing between Noel and Mu-12.

It might be the worst true DP due to its hitbox and ridiculous recovery. Even some of the pseudo DPs (like Mu's) are better.

Relius is lucky to get what he does considering his ability to control space.

I'm quite new to EVO so I'm wondering why they have a BB stream even if there wasn't any BB in the official stream schedule?

It's a side tourney, not official. BB has a sordid history of not getting much love from Evo.
