Platina's colours are (almost?) entirely pastel. They clash so much with the others.

Ragna combo tutorial with a lot of extensive B&Bs I found on Nico video. If you wanna learn Ragna you should check this shit out because even some arcade heads don't know some of these around here :lol

Yep, and if you aren't interested in playing with the character, you can still play online with peeps that bought the dlc. It's not like the usual DLC for FPS, for example.

Wow 7 new characters...
I felt burned by the first game, but I absolutely LOVED it, its just I expected much better balance, especially from Arc systems who were known for it with the Guilty Gear series.
If the balance is there this time count me in.,

I couldn't care less about BB's story :lol . Never beat the previous game either. Was painful really. I know there are new modes, and balance changes, and of course some core changes as well but I just can't find the justification to shell $40 for 3 characters (one essentially the change) and be expected to pay some more for more DLC characters. I don't really like that model in fighting games.
My purchase will depend on how many friends get it haha.
It took Aksys a LONG, LONG time to get Guilty Gear to where it is right now. If anything, I have more faith in them to be proactive and actually get issues fixed than anyone else when it comes to fighting games.Arpharmd B said:
I'm ok with the DLC- because I am assuming if the DLC wasn't offered, they'd just release a 3rd version on disc next year- I'd rather pay for 3 new chars then a whole new game.
I say this especially since they're not on-disc content and there's a balance patch coming.
DLC to me is a case-by-case basis. I bought the SC4 costume packs, but not VF's (which sucked). I didn't buy Vader though, as SW chars are lame.
Platina does look dumb, but I have faith Arc will make her work.

Ya you beat him down with bang shenanigans. My issue with Nu wasn't that she was strong, it was she was strong and really easy to play.
When I'd play lichi I'd have to work like hell to get some damage off, Nu could hit you once and you'd get a huge chunk of life taken.
I'm hoping Litchi isn't top tier this time cause she's easy mode, but has a nice learning curve.

Eh she's a bit easier to play now cause of the way some of her new loops work, and how much priority some of her staff hits have aka lots LOL
basically doing those loops before now = half life or more into a reset to do it again. :lol
And I'll be honest, some of Nu's high level combos were not easy at all, she had some very precise ass crap with split second distance and timing involved I know I messed around with it. Sure the basic sword spam crap was easy but the high level stuff you see in tourney matches wasn't really.

still there is a reason why there was 2 litchi's in the top 8 at sbo :lol Sure her damage wasn't great but her reset game was -.-Ferrio said:
And you want not working for damage? Arakune's 6c loop is the true definition of that xD

There was a stream of someone showing stuff from the disc files, and the placeholder art for them was found. There was also all the DLC colors(not really surprising), where he went through each one and people connected who it was. Everyone has 1 GG character color, and a lot of weird stuff like Joker Hazama.
So yeah... I arrived pretty damn late to the original BB party, and only finished the story mode a week or two ago, but I loved every minute of it. The combination of great anime-style characters/story and sweet fighting gameplay hit a major sweet spot for me. I've never really got into the fighting game genre before (for instance, I bought SSF4 for the sake of it, but find it hard to really care about the game and have barely played it), but the story elements and the way all the characters play so uniquely made BB appeal to me in a way no other fighter has before. I have very little confidence in my actual skill at playing it competitively, though.
So with my love for BB at a high right now, and fresh off the first game's story cliffhanger ending, my hype for CS is pretty much through the roof. The identities of the DLC characters have me pretty pleased, as well... as a loli lover, I can hardly argue with Platina, and I'm 100% with what seems to be the general consensus that Valkenhayn is just too badass *not* to want playable. As for Makoto, one of my first thoughts on finding out that Tsubaki was playable in the sequel was 'I want Makoto too', and although I'm not exactly down with her outfit sluttification, I'm willing to forgive it on grounds that it's Makoto, and she has tonfa. Tonfa are always cool.
My only real regret right now? The fact that I was idiot enough to place the game together with Rockman Zero Collection in my YesAsia order. Now I have to wait frustratedly for the latter to come into stock before the game ships. Aaaaaarghhh. *kills self*

Well that is because most of this stuff was shown in message boards only.
You can check my site, most of my info come from all different sites and boards I visit, so dunno if you want to add one more site to visit on your daily basis. :lol

it's ok sf4 cost more than 80 bucksDynamic3 said:
and ssf4 cost more than 70 with all the dlc :lol
And that was for some costumes! These are full fledged unique characters
Besides only buy the ones you want to use. It's not like you can't fight against them online.
Dynamic3 said:
I don't see people complaining about it, most games today have DLC. All FPS have a map the week after release and they pay 5 to 15 dllrs for them, that is above the 60 dllrs prize.
DLC is here to stay, if we like it or not, and fighters aren't the exception to this rule either unfortunately.

The funny part is people complaining about it in bb's case. If they didn't do it like this the game wouldn't be out til freaking october or november. While costing 60!
QisTopTier said:
Or make likely we'd have to buy 2 games instead. As long as it isn't unlocking things on the disc and they're actually going to use the DLC to do post-release support, it's fine.
This is the good DLC- and really feels like mini-expansions more then DLC gouging.
QisTopTier said:
My only problem about the DLC is that if the DLC characters don't have their own story mode. If they don't then that is a let down for me at least, the story mode ads so much personality to the characters and makes you appreciate or hate them more depending of the story. Well this is my point of view about story in fighters though.
This is my one worry as well. Is there any definite word on whether DLC characters will have Story Mode or anything similar? Whilst I'm pumped for the characters either way, I would be significantly happier if I got delicious story goodness to go with them. It would be a shame to miss out on that. (And if they weren't playable in Arcade either, that would cut the single-player opportunities for them down hugely, which would be sad, since personally, I'm always more interested in the single-player than multiplayer, even in fighting games.)-DarKaoZ- said:
I'm not so much worried about missing out on insight into their characters, since I'm sure they'll all show up plenty in other characters' Story Modes, but I would like to at least be able to enjoy them in a single-player capacity.

I know they will come with Challenge and Tutorial mode material, that is all what in Aksys forums have been said. Hopefully there is still more than just that, yet they haven't said there wouldn't be any either, so we can just hope they come included with Story mode material.

Game looks awesome I'm really looking forward to trying out Hazama, Tsubaki & Makoto but I think I'll wait for the EU release that hopefully includes all characters which should give me the time to master Bang in CT as I prefer not using top tiers.

Seriously, not a trope exists that hasn't been mined for character design.

God I wish I could pull something like that off. I mean I have said how much I love BB and how excited I am for CS but I just don't understand these things. To me it is like trying to read JPN (Yes I know there is JPN in that video but I mean in English vids for any fighting game) I simply can't wrap my head around what they are saying.
I don't know if it is something that people are natrually gifted at but no matter how hard I try I just can't seem to learn it so I never really get beyond a simple 3 button combo most times. That and I am terrible with a TE Stick, spent 250 dollars on it and I am far worse then i was on the controller.
Hmm maybe one day, though it is doubtful, always been someone that learns better through audio means then reading anyway so I think I am kinda out of luck since I don't know anyone that plays games really anymore.
TruePrime said:
The only way to know how to read those stuff is by knowing the game system and knowing what everything means.
Ones you know what each of the gameplay system is named, then you can get a good idea of what you can do.
EX: RC = Rapid Cancel = Pressing 3 attack buttons while doing a move and it cost 1/2 of your super bar.
Now that you know what that means you go to training mode and try it yourself, to understand how it works and how it looks. Ones you figure that out you can see a video and you will know when a RC happens and how.
This is what you must do for every fighting game, you must learn the system to understand the notations. It takes time, but ones it comes out you will have a pleasing feeling.
