How is the online? I really will probably try this out tonight.
Lucky American bastards. I'll get CT this week (wanted to get back into fighters for a while, and after playing CS a few days ago, I decided to start with BlazBlue), and have to wait 'till October to play CS (again). Oh well. Have fun. I believe CT will tide me over for a few months.

Same! Just waiting for the UPS page to update, but it says it should arrive by the 29th (which means it may be tomorrow since UPS is usually really fast for me).

Mine was updated to the 29th (was the 30th), but the latest tracking history already says It's in my city, and state, and left the seller facility (Amazon warehouse is close to me). So I might actually get it in a couple of hours :lol
When I order from Amazon, it doesn't come from USPS anymore, it's their local delivery people. Some guy in a mustang delivers my stuff to me all the time. Strange, but awesome.

Does anyone know how long the PS3 install takes?

About 10 minutes or so.
Spent 1.5 hrs playing. Mostly training mode- Tsubaki seems ridiculous hard executionwise.
Tried to play online a couple matches - ran into people with tons of experience and wasn't very fun to start. Couldn't learn the game running into people doing large combos.

The damage is one issue. Saying that her unblockable is bad is another. Although I would say getting around 3k damage off of one charge midscreen is good. With two charges in the corner, you should get around 3.5-4k. That's not too bad.
Especially when her 0 charge bnb is about 1.9k... not bad at all.
Of course if they catch on and start jumping, you're gonna have to mix things up. She's really a guessing character. Once you have them locked down, go for a throw or unblockable. It will REALLY mess with their heads.
She's REALLY bad against the top 3 (and maybe Carl) but against the other characters she's not too bad. Those characters just don't let you charge properly.

How big is it?
Got my copy from GS!
I'll give you scrubs time to train/pray before I start stylin on you online
Edit: I also picked up the new 360 controller. Its no madcats, but the d-pad is a bit sturdier. Not sure if anyone would want to drop 60+ on that though.

Thanks for the install replies, I actually was reading news while waiting. Well I'm playing around with Hazama and learning to play should be fun and worth it. As of now not sure about others.

What's the point of a billion posts updating everyone on your shipping status? Never understood that.

It builds hype
Also, according to my current UPS status, I should have it tomorrow. Which means it'll either be there when I get home from work or not show up until like 7:30pm because of the weird routes our UPS guys take.:lol
FAKE EDIT: this is also my first time preordering something online instead of going to a store to preorder or grabbing it on release day in general. So far I'm liking the "I get to be lazy about it" approach. I don't have to make a special trip just to grab something.

I did? I think. I'm confused now. But yeah, I already got 3.41, I was wondering how big the game install was.

Because we're excited and can't talk about the game since we don't have it. It's fun.

Tutorial mode is very informative and an encyclopedia. I've been going through intermediate and its even helped recall my weak point with cancel animations into combos.

Hearing this makes me very happy. I really liked the first game, and something that would show me the finer points is a welcomed addition for me personally. Got this coming tomorrow!

The combo dvd that came with CT was awesome but I didn't really have a way of watching it while I played the game.
Tutorial mode sounds like just what I wanted.

(Still awaiting for my copy to arrive)
So how does the Tutorial mode compare to the holy grail of Tutorials, Virtual Fighter 4 Evo? Will it be explaining footsies, meaties, crossups, etc, or does it just give you a basic idea of how to use this games particular systems?
The disk that came with CT was great, and was probably my favorite part of that release. Happy to hear this apparently carries on the "lower the barrier of entry!" tradition.
