Are you on PS3? What version of the game do you have? NA can't play with Japan until August 5th when they get the Mak patch (US version comes pre-patched to 1.01).LegatoB said:
Other than that I haven't heard of any weirdness with online connectivity.

Not even close. He's closer to Axl but even then, they're pretty far apart. I think AS are trying to keep everyone pretty far apart from GG characters.

Well, I would think the "PSN" in my post implies that I'm using it on a PS3, and yeah, the American version. Interesting, I'd figured that Japan would've gotten the patch "early" at the same time as us. Still, I think I should be getting some bites with a nice, green connection. Is Florida really that far in the boonies, relatively speaking?_dementia said:
edit: Also I'm kind of bummed that I'm having to spend the night powering through story mode to get Mu instead of playing the game. I was even ready to pay the damn DLC tax, and yet it's not up for purchase on the PS3 yet!

U.S. PSN probably gets all the unlock key "DLC" on Thursday. It's been up on XBL since last week, IIRC.
Interesting. It's not like this on XBL, BTW-- I can play against American players. I am thinking about buying the American version to fully understand the training/challenge stuff, but I guess since I'm getting the American PS3 version tomorrow I can just practice on that anyway. I usually tend to "main" the 360 versions of fighters, but with this game I may be playing on PS3 more. Seems like there is more interest in that version.
I suck at the game and need so much practice, but being a total n00b again is fun. Still like Tager and Lichi, and am liking Mu too. But I don't want to settle on a main until all the characters are available.

Well, I gave in and picked this up tonight.
Does anyone know when they'll start releasing the DLC characters and how much they'll be?

Yeah, I'm a total trash right now. I thought it was just Tsubaki, but apparently my taint corrupts every character I pick. I'm decent with Noel, but until I re-learn her loop I won't get any better.
I think I might just finish out story mode until I get a feel for the game again. Its transitioning from SF4 to this, I'm just too slow right now. Pinwheeling scrubs in the corner with Juri has left me soft and weak.

I fucking suck as Hazama. I'm determined to learn him but I just keep messing up with the d-pad <_< It's very frustrating but I'll get used to it. Also: fuuuck. I usually luck out and like/pick nimble characters so getting used to Hazama's poor ground movement is taking a while :lol
I've done Challenges 1-7 for Hazama. Some of those combos took some effort -_- I looked at the Challenge #10 combo...OMG. I'm probably not going to be able to pull that off.

Give me more credit... HATERS... Thx!
Noel and Ragna probably have the easiest transition from CT to CS imo... (never played with Tager, so I can't speak for that)kiunchbb said:
Going from DDDDDDDDD with Nu to Lambda takes a bit of work. I thought beating Story Mode was going to be a one night thing, but its actually pretty good so I don't want to just rush right through it. I'll probably end up spending the MS points for Mu and all the other stuff then focus on maining her.
The shame I've brought to my family in player matches tonight is unforgivable.

That standing B I cannot get to come out at the correct time for the life of me. What the heck is the right timing for that? I feel like I'm playing SF4 all of a sudden.

ArkSys put a significant amount of effort into the Story Mode, and it's actually rather good compared to most fighting games, so I'd say it deserves some sort of attention.
Guilty Gear was not like this.
BradVanDam said:
If it was really unbalanced, I wouldn't of wasted my money with this game. The community already regards CS as a much better game than CT (a game with very questionable balance), and a balance patch is coming out in 6 months, so it's gonna be a pretty well balanced game by then.
DY_nasty said:
Seth is pretty balanced when you think about it. Biggest tool set, His damage is low to compensate, and if he gets hit a few times, he's pretty much dead. He's not even close to the brokenness that is Gill.
Doesn't change the fact that a review should contain some more information about that rather big and elaborated aspect of the game than "yeah, there's a Story Mode as well". GG has an elaborated scenario, but the story mode is hardly comparable.QisTopTier said:Umm blazblue is heavly designed towards competive play xD the story is there because the creator wanted to create a universe to go with the game

LOL wut
BBCT's top top top top tiers were Arakune, Rachel, and Nu IIRC.
I never got that much into BBCT but its balance felt incredibly wack compared to SF4. Yeah Sagat was strong but it didn't feel like he had the advantage those three did. Fighting Rachel with bottom-tier Iron Tager in particular always felt like such a chore.
It's great that Arc has promised to do some balancing later on, but they could have done this with Calamity Trigger. This goes for every company putting out fighting games though. I don't think it's too much to respond to player feedback and do some balancing every few months.
Welp story mode sure was some anime bullshit. But I'm so glad they worked in
, that's like my all-time favorite eye-roller. Oh, and since
, I wonder if we're going to see
in the next "plot" revision of the game.
At least it's over with now and I can check out robot girl #3.
OH MY GOD NUCLEAR WEAPONS ARE JUST THE WORST HOW CAN YOU EVEN THINK OF USING THEM EVER
Lambda got killed off in the True End

At least it's over with now and I can check out robot girl #3.
I was searching for custom lobbies with all settings set to "whatever, man," so I was hoping I'd get SOMETHING above 2. I tried playing with a friend earlier, but latency 2 meant I started dropping combos a lot, and one of the other people in the lobby was latency 1 aka don't even bother with OTGs/links. So painful.Lyte Edge said:

My pre ordered copy was set with two day shipping, but it's actually on it's way to my house as we speak.
I can't wait to sink my teeth into this game. I want to see how they changed people up and I want to jump into player matches with the quickness.

Well I always new I was shit, but it still sucks to have it confirmed haha.
Anyway after spending like 5 hours going through tutorials and all that I finall put it down.
I can't past the third or fourth mission (fairly sure it is third but I am letting the lie go on so I don't feel as bad.) with Tsubaki.
I know she is suppose to be easy at a combo level but damn I really freaking suck.

You're supposed to delay the qcbD, that's the key. After that, you have plenty of time to land the B.

Guilty Gear had a large universe with a similar story mode built around it with similar branching paths and such. At least, I though so.FlightOfHeaven said:
The only one without such a thing was Accent Core, but the story mode returned in Accent Core Plus.
_dementia said:
I didn't know this about GG, I played it and even owned one. XX Reloaded on Xbox actually, but I didn't bother to try and get into the story.
I don't it when they don't dub a game. If I import games from Japan then I am more then fine with in being in Japanese because should be and if I import then I need to be willing to accept that, but for games that I buy when they come to america I want it to be in something I can understand.
Granted I know others like the whole Sub over Dub thing but sadly I am not one of them so I ended up giving up on GG pretty quick.

A competitive player is going to base his review on the competitive side of things.
most FG reviewers on the casual end are pure crap though, with some exceptions (Gamepro's SSFIV review is a good review aimed at casuals- as a counterexample)
That said, after playing a little online, and seeing a bit of the balance firsthand, I'm not feeling this game right now at all. I don't think it's improved enough over CT, and added in a lot more complication- it feels much harder.
I love Arc's effort, Aksys is a great company, I'm just not feeling the game. Maybe I got overhyped. I need my anti-Fersis pills.

Picked this up as a mostly newcomer to the series, knowing I'm never going to be good enough or put in enough time to fully understand the intricacies of the game. But it's a beautiful game, and it's fun to learn the game trial by fire and slowly improving.
