You can do the 360 shortcuts in BB? Half circle back forward real fast(what it was in SF)?
For some reason I find hcb,f forwards a LOT harder in this then I do KOF.
And Dementia's advice is right. I think if I can go .500 with a scrub Tsubaki over the weekend playing ranked, there's hope for me.
Just wish I knew some easy BnB's. The combo challenges go from move explanations to final SSFIV challenge combos, nothing intermediate. That's my one qualm about the training for the game, it goes from basic to expert with little in the middle.
Like how do Tsubaki's specials chain, what's the easy way to get some damage? I don't need to go from zero to expert combo, I just need some simple crap. The game doesn't explain a whole lot besides expert-level combos outside of the general tutorial.

It works in BB as well, it's just a bit tighter.

I did. It's damn easy this time around.burgerdog said:
You don't have to die either and there are three endings for each character except for some. It's usually a good ending, a bad ending, and a comedy ending.

Is like that in GGXX as well. I thought something was wrong with my stick yesterday, lol. Then I remember GGXX input timing, lol.arstal said:

Yeah, they've added so many links in his combo system that just make sense. I'm especially fond of 8B, 6C, and 5A.SAB CA said:
Those improvements alone complement grounded styles like mine and more advanced aerial mixups that the pros will inevitably use(if you've got jump cancels down).
fake edit:
The matches are lag free, but it takes way too much time looking to find one.

Err, Tao is hard to use. She has low damage output on her individual strikes and is heavily reliant on extended combos which require relatively strict timing to get out. She's still a good character, though, but definitely not someone you are going to be proficient with in a week, or a month.
You might want to pick someone more newbie friendly. If you like quick characters, perhaps Litchi (still complex, but her damage output is higher on her beginner combos) is more your style. On the other end, bruisers like Tager, Hakumen, and Bang don't have extended combos but dish out excellent damage.
Or you could go for the middle, and toy with Ragna and Jin.

My copy just arrived today (2 days overseas shipping <3 Amazon) but unfortunately everytime my PS3 tries to boot it up I'm kicked back to the XMB and given a "80010514" error message.
I did some searching and found this is usually a problem with the system itself but this is the only game I get the error with. I live in Europe and Imported a US copy so I'm thinking this might be some sort of region lock? I imported CT last year and had no problems.
Anyone else having this issue? Is it my PS3 or my copy that's screwed up? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have the latest firmware?
ArcticDonkey

Yeah, I just installed the system update before puting the disc in and then installed the patch for the game before getting kicked back to the XMB.
I thought maybe that the patch didn't install properly so I deleted the saved data utility but now I don't get the option to install it again when booting the game up.

Oh, that's strange. I have never heard of anything like that. Maybe try logging into a US PSN account and see if that triggers the update again?

No luck, just gave that a try.
Thanks for trying.

It's much more balanced than its predecessor, but there are still definite tiers. Both 360 and PS3 versions are pretty much identical. As for arcade stick, it comes down to preference. I think QisTopTier plays on a pad and he's really good. Stick is not necessary at all.Decado said:

Ragna: Nu, Valley or sea......just pick one
So far. Litchi and Bang are top tier, but they're far from broken-tier like Rachel, Nu, and Arakune from the last game.Decado said:
Everytime I lose to an Arakune, I'm boiling with rage - but usually because I know that I'm horrible at the moment and I turn into a lil bitch when I see the screen fill with bugs. I gotta remember to keep applying pressure even through the curse. Can't just break it like in the last game.

The best way to play against Arakune is to save your burst. IF he gets curse, BLOCK! Do NOT fight through it... As soon as he starts a combo, BURST. Do NOT let him get a full combo off of it. If they know what they are doing, it'll be more than half your life.

This Arakune talk has me terrified. He was my biggest pain in the ass in the last game.
I'll have to play as him in training to understand his shenanigans.

Yeah... after my last few games against Arakune, I'm starting to realize that trying to pressure while cursed isn't the greatest idea :lol
It can work every once in a while, but its hardly a viable strategy against any good Arakune player.
I guess I just need to keep working on my defense and PICK A MAIN. Last night I spent 2-3 hours training with Mu, today I'm back to work on Tsubaki and Jin. I'm getting my grasp of the game back gradually, but I won't be beating anyone 'decent' until I get some BnB down.

The 'trap' bug is whats bothering me the most.The Take Out Bandit said:

He's not nearly as bad as before. Arakune players need to work now to get the curse going, so don't expect to see any random newbies win with himunless they know the combo that grants 100% curse meter off an airthrow. :lolThe Take Out Bandit said:

He's nowhere as bad as he was in CT, but once he curses you, it's worse than before. Problem is, it takes about 3-4 curse hits before he can curse activates. Although, in certain situations (with rapids), he can curse you in one combo.

A little weaker. They made her 5A worse, and the timing for her BnBs is more strict as if they weren't strict enough before. Mostly the same, from what I hear.
I'm failing Ragna's second mission 3 combo.
Throw
Gauntlet Hades
Spin Kick
Standing B (this is where I fail)
It looks like I can't get B to connect because it comes out too late and 2p recovers. I've tried mashing b and pressing B carefully at different times and I can't nail it.

This has been talked about a lot... Just look back a bit. The 2nd part of Gauntlet Hades is delayed.
Her normals are still dookie compared to the rest of the cast, but her Chain Revolver stuff seems like its on crack now and is improved a bit from what I can tell. You're forced to rely on it a bit more though.FlightOfHeaven said:
