Very hyped for this.
Ok, seems like I just suck in this game, went to challenge mode and I did the first two challenges of every character, then I went for the 3rd challenge. No dice, I think I managed to clear 2 or 3 of them, no more.
And then, I decided to see the 10th challenge for Rachel, my jaw dropped and I laughed like a maniac, that combo IS fucking ridiculous, not only it was composed of a lot of moves, like 20 of them, but also the window of input is way too unforgiving, and I was busting a nut with Hazama in arcade mode.
I can't take it anymore, I'll buy the next game for the story mode and legion mode, and that's it. You guys have my deepest respects if you cleared that challenge crap.

It's best to learn bits and peices of the combos separately then run it all together. No biggie though since the trials are mostly inefficient or outdated anyway.
Dante23 said:
I'm not really that good at this game at all but, the average player should be able to roughly do up to trial 5 or so with say Ragna or Jin. Other characters combos are a little bit more difficult than others though since they are so different. I'd say it's key to learn gatlings, they are the bread and butter of your offense. If you come from any Vs background or Darkstalkers, it really helps since chain combos are the basis of gatlings. Quick example: Ragna's 5B > 6B > 5C > 6C. It's important to practice and once you get it the rest comes naturally.

Finished all Valk challenges, but Makoto is making it hard for me -_-. Props to Q for doing all those lvl 3 drives online.
Tourney hasn't started yet, but NSB20 streams are up:

STILL GONNA BE THE SUMMER OF FOREVER THANKS TO COLLEGE SCHEDULES YAY!
Edit:
Dammit dementia I read that as DLC confirmed for the first of June.
:'(
Thank you for your advice guys, I'm getting better. But I was wondering, are there any unlockables tied to the challenge mode?
I'll see NSB20 to let my jaw drop to the floor all night.
Edit: I'm seeing one dude kicking all sort of ass with Lambda.
Edit 2: What the hell happened to the announcer? sounds terrible :'(

Wasn't there a tournament going on for this game? I seem to recall something like that.
The only gameplay-relevant things worth getting from the Store are the extra characters (Makoto and Valkenhayn, and Platinum if she's ever released) and possibly the "unlock all Unlimited characters" item (which can theoretically be achieved in-game, but involves beating the Score Attack mode with every character, a feat which many people, myself included, find impossible even with one character, let alone all of them).Sp3eD said:
Don't bother with the Mu unlock unless you're one of those people who detests the very thought of playing through Story Mode (which would kind of be missing half the point with BB); she can be unlocked in-game by reaching the true ending.
The rest of the DLC, I believe, consists of aesthetic options like colour-swaps and announcer voices. I wouldn't waste my cash on 'em, but go wild if you feel like it.

I think I'm going to bite despite sucking at fighters. 2D glorious HD graphics are just too much to pass. Hope I can be semi-decent...

Welcome aboard! There is an in-game tutorial that I would recommend following. It's starts off extremely basic (like movement and such), but stick with it and it will explain the game rather well.Castor Krieg said:

BARF!
Ordered some Sanwa buttons to replace funked up Seimitsu that had to be replaced temporarily with Madcrapz parts I had laying around and which still miss inputs. Jesus H. Christ such terrible parts.
Should be here by Friday I hope.
No more lack of C attacks for Tager and no more missing hugs with Hokan.
Also have the PS360 board on hand and stick and buttons for new stick. Once finances are in order I'll begin crafting a real arcade stick and let the Madcrapz sloppy seconds be used by friends.

Got it, spend some time doing Beginner and Advance Tutorials. Playing on DS3, don't want Arcade Stick until I'm sure the game is for me. Spend 10 minutes trying to pull simple B+C->Heaven's Fang->Rapid Cancel->B+C->Heaven's Fang->Death Fang with Ragna, but it was fun, esp. when I nailed that I can input half of it during previous moves.
Having fun so far. Any character I should take since I'm a beginner?

Been playing so much of that inferior online fighter I'd forgotten how sexual the netcode in BB:CS is. It really should be the industry standard. Going back to that other game I'm missing inputs and it feels like I'm playing in mud. I shouldn't have to mash stuff out in a slower paced game, but that's what bad netcode gets you. :\
Mainly got my behind kicked, but had two good matches. Coming back after a break things were clicking and I was pulling off some of the stuff I left unable to do.

I've really been neglecting CS. I love the game, but at this point I feel like just waiting for CSII DLC to drop and starting over.

I've been putting some time in with my stick, but I decided it'd be best to stick to the 360 pad since my main problem stemmed from the fact that I couldn't do two button hyper combos in MvC2. It's also refreshing to go back to BB for those smooth matches compared to the constant connection blackouts I've been getting on MvC2. I just hope it doesn't happen on MvC3.The Take Out Bandit said:
Blaz is more than friendly enough with it's one button distortion drives. This'll give this game more longetivity than most other fighting games in my book.
Still want that hitbox for standard two button supers though...

Wish in one hand and buy Crapcom fighters with mediocre netcode, see which one gets filled first.
I ordered a bat top for my Seimitsu stick. If this doesn't help with my execution (years and years of playing arcade games in the US with bat top sticks and my PS2 custom stick is bat top), then I'm going to have to stop dating Japanese sticks. :|
I got my teeth kicked through my ass tonight. Some quality players online. :O

That's the punchline.
Capcom's netcode can barely hang with SSF4, the high paced speed and tagging in and tagging out of MvC3 is going to murder their Internet Jank.
Not to mention I just wish Capcom would get it through their thick skulls - I want Marvel Vs. DC. This is a fighting game that would set US sales charts ablaze. So much potential awesome, but nobody wants to take the chance.

Woohoo! Went up two levels tonight. Not that it matters or means anything, just good to beat some good players; but also ran into some lvl.48 scrubs.
I guess I'm just overcompensating since I want to maintain 0BP in SSF4.
Yeah, Marvel Vs. DC would be fabulous; but I don't think they'll manage to pull it together outside of Mugen which is just EVERYTHING VS. EVERYTHING.

I can't imagine that anyone could make the project viable. The cuts for the pub/dev involved in the process would be very small when Marvel and DC get involved. The game would need to sell over ten million copies for anyone to get a meaningful amount of money out of it.The Take Out Bandit said:
I'm also sure that the netcode will be up to par. A game like this one only comes out once in a decade so I'm sure that this will be a decisive moment for them.

It amazes me how folks are putting this turd over Street Fighter proper (specious as 4's claim to that is). It's almost enough to make me want to move to Japan and pretend I'm a chubby Caucasian Japanese like other folks do.
If SF4 wasn't important enough to resolve the online play, MvC3 isn't on the same level no matter what PR mouth pieces sell you.
It's like putting Kid Icarus before Mario, or Tails before Sonic in terms GAF could more easily relate to.
Okay, so now I know that if I want to hear stupid trolling from TTOB, this is the thread to open. Keep up the good work!
On BlazBlue-related note, I have learned a few of the advanced Tsubaki combos, but I still do not know if there is a way to consistently do the air cancels, let alone the SJC cancels. Anyone know what is the "safest" and most damaging option when it comes to air combos?
I currently use ~cancel -> c,c->up->c,d->qcf+a, qcb+a/c, but that does not always work when my opponent is not in the corner.

That's supposed to be super jump. Also, you don't need that D there.
edit: Wait, I re-read it... The combo is a little mixed up.
The air combo is sjc, C, jc, CC, 236A, 214C. If you want to make the timing a little easier, you can put a B before the first C.

V_Arnold said:
Normally you can only jump after the move recover(finish), with jump cancel, you just press jump during the attack's animation, the attack will stop faster than normal and you will be jumping.
If you jump after the attack is finish, most likely it won't connect. Every jump cancel-able move have different frame or timing on when you can press the jump, so you just have to experiment with it.

Okay, bought this today.
I'm absolutely STUCK on the fatal counter hit in the tutorials. I'm reading elsewhere that I have to get the second dash input on the second hit confirm of the drive which I think I'm getting, only, when I dash out and press D, Ragna doesn't do anything. I'm sat here pressing D half way through the dash, after the dash, all the way through the dash and it's still not coming out. What am I doing wrong?

Just got through Arcade Mode with Noel on normal. Can't beat Hazama. Gave up after quite a few tries. This game hates me.
MarshMellow96 said:
That's pretty usual, the thing is that Hazama is a pretty cheap bitch. It's almost ridiculous. You might want to first clear a couple of challenges first, those are an awesome way to let your head explode from the ridiculousness.
I still somehow love this game.
