There'll different prize for each game.

I'll make a thread next week, you can sign up there too, if you want, I guess.

Well, seeing as I should have won GAF's last BB tournament (I'm still sitting in winner's finals waiting for my opponent to emerge from losers :lol) I will definitely be signing up for this.

Someone should make a topic about that that seems unreal to me.

Who are importing Chrono Phantasma once it's out?
I know I won't because I don't have the luxury of importing but if GAF receives the import version well, I'm definitely getting the localized port next year.

For sure: Fugu
Might: Qistoptier
I will import if ApolloJoh does, he's not unless US release is far off.
No one else has really chimed in iirc.
Edit: You also have all the people that just don't play this anymore that might import it but don't look at this thread ever.

Interesting. I don't really have any plans of importing. But I very much want to hear good reviews of CP so I can look forward to next year's release.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted, but I play BB for the story just as much as the online, so I'll wait for Aksys most likely, failing a gorgeous JP-exclusive LE that's reasonably priced(yeah right).
Lies and slander
Well I guess it's a half truth. It's funny to see how easily I collapse in a match. I can hold my own fairly well against Q when he plays Mu, but when he starts just backing up and throwing out steins I seem to never block and just eat all the damage.
If you want to play tonight in about an hour and a half from this post I would be interested in seeing this collapse.

I noticed :lol
Sweet.
Carl is not an aggressive character. By playing Carl, you are betting your patience against your opponent's. Your neutral strategy should be oriented around fooling your opponent into making a mistake.

Stick with characters that work with your style thenGoing to be hard for me as I'm not patient and I play aggressively with everyone
Unless you are trying to pick up new ones xDI used to play Carl in CT trying to learn him for CP. I like Hazama but I'm pretty sure every one is going to use him online. Maybe I'll like Terumi and main him. I'm pretty indecisive.Stick with characters that work with your style then
I'm thinking about getting into Blazblue, but I want to make sure I buy the best version. Should I get CS or CS Extend?
All I honestly care about is which version has the more active online multiplayer. I would assume that Extend would, given that it is the newest version, but I was under the impression that a lot of people passed on it because it was such a minor update.

Anyone that would still be playing is playing Extend.
Is Extend still very active online? Or is it KOF XIII levels of dead?
I just want to at least be able to find a few people online at all times to play against.
As a new player recently ranked matches is still pretty populated!
KOF has the problem of being a game with a horrible netcode. BB still has players because they can reliably have somewhat stable connections. As Fugu says most people I play against are probably NA players and are on around 6pm for me till 3am. Saw two "new players only" lobbies last night so if you want the game you could get it.
Alright guys, I made the thread for the tournament I'm doing.
Sign up if you haven't!

Finally played some matches against a human player, since one of my friends got CSE today. I haven't really played much BB recently since I've mostly been playing P4A, so my scrubby Litchi was also rusty, but I had a lot of fun.
Time to start practicing BB again.
I'd like to import, but it'll depend on what the people I would play with are doing.

I'm just afraid to buy CP because given how many Continuum Shifts they made, I feel like I'll be forced to get some DLC characters.

There will be no DLC characters, Terumi is a pack in. Basically online pass status and they only made 2 CS that you had to actually buy with the second one coming out 2 years later CS2 was a free patch update.
Blazblue is pretty bad. Finding a match especially early morning is pretty terrible, it's only Japanese players at that time. I don't think I've ever run into a newbie since I got the game, and that was last Christmas.
How hard am I supposed to look when I go on "Custom Search" for Ranked Matches and practically no one shows up except for the same very small selection of people? I did, however, fight several newbies but I faced far more people who weren't.
A Player Match lobby for new players would be neat, but almost all of them in the menu are private matches and if they aren't they're either Japanese lobbies or people who've played a whole lot.

I'd be willing to help some of you practice, as I need to shake off some rust with all of my characters. I do wish that Extend's online wasn't so dead, though D:
I'd like some practice! PSN is Roe-Bear send me a request.

So is it safe to assume they won't be making a sequel with hardly anything new a year later? I want to make sure my purchase of CP lasts.
Player matches have an option to flag your lobby as intended for newbies, which you should do. Most people take those flags seriously (well, they take the beginner flag seriously, anyway).
Custom Search (the menu item that produces a list, not the one that finds a match for you with criteria) doesn't work properly, especially if you use a ping filter. You can use it but it's given me a lot of trouble in the past.
I consider a newbie to be a player who has a PSR less than, like, 625 and has enough matches to have an accurate PSR, or someone who doesn't have enough matches to have an accurate PSR and has a win percentage below 50. If you've played a lot of matches and your PSR is below 625, you probably have some sort of fatal, exploitable flaw. I think the majority of players fit that criteria, at least in my area. If you happen to have a PSR in the low 600s, you should be able to do a custom match with the "similar PSR" filter on and find opponents. If it's anywhere below that you're unlikely to find anyone with that restriction on, so play more matches until it's above 600.
Honestly, online is only dead for the highest tier of players. My PSR is 740 and there are probably a dozen active players around my skill level with an acceptable ping to me, which is plenty as they tend to be fairly active. However, if I'm looking for a player in the 800 range, I won't find any (except maybe St1ckbug, who comes on once in a blue moon). Yes, the online is small enough that you're probably going to recognize all of your possible opponents if you play with any regularity, but it's not dead.
I haven't tried to host my own player matches lobby, but it certainly isn't easy to find one that isn't just for Japanese players, is full of advanced players or is set to private.
Well, if Custom Search doesn't work properly it doesn't work properly. I tried playing online for about 6 hours yesterday and from my experience: Quick Match was practically never successful and the only way I could ever find a match is by just doing Custom Search with no specifications and pressing on one of the names I've played before since those were the only people available.
And my definition of newbie is someone who hasn't played the game (online) before. That's who I am, so yours isn't what I'm talking about or helpful to me in any way.
And I didn't say that the online is dead, but that Persona 4 Arena's is way more active.
Ugh, I need so much practice. I have some combos that I can do fine against the computer, but once I play online I can never get them for some reason, and usually end up just stringing together some combination of Haku, Hatsu, and Chuun to whatever hits I do get.
I'm loving this game though, and while I know she's not the easiest character, I'm glad I chose Litchi as my main. Having so much fun with her.

I never realized how combo intensive this game was, especially in the corners, but it's become really apparent getting destroyed by higher level players. It's also a pain to have to mash in order to tech as opposed to holding a button down, which I'm glad they're changing in Chronophantasma.
And, like I always inadvertently do, I decided to main who I later discovered to be a rather technical character in Mu-12. At least I feel like I'm improving.
