Wait, you post here?

The story mode in CS is way more straightforward than CT, but if you guys need a quick, non-spoilery overview for the paths to the endings, there's one here.

There is a choice that is left out of the list for Noel's story that'll leave you with 99% if you forget about it, though.

Yeah, man. Jan vs. Pozer was soooooooo hype.

 

[firehawk12]

I just picked up the game based on the new beginner mode. Out of curiosity, who is the "Ryu" of the game? The tutorial gives you Ranga, so I assume it's him?

I guess ragna is, jin kinda too. Doesn't mean they are both brain dead easy to get down though.

I figure I should be happy to be able to play through the game with the easier characters anyway. God knows I'm never actually going to go online anyway. :lol

His fireball is his neutral B. :lol

Haha, awesome. All fighting games should be like that

 

[Infinite Justice]

Everybody is 100% except for Ragna with the stupid 4 DD requirement. I can't wait to get MU!



fake edit:
I was under the impression that you only needed three distortion drives to get the "lost child" ending. Ragna requires 4DD by comparison.

Its 4, As she is in deep thoughts from Tager all the way to Nu.

The story mode will last you a while kinda the gag endings are funny too

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Has anyone tried the PSP version of this game? I'm kind of curious how it turned out.

 

[-DarKaoZ-]

Finished all the stories today, got Mu.
Doing challenges to learn new combos, fucking strict timing for the dashes in some combos!

Played 3 ranked matches to test drive my Hazama, won all 3, I thought I would suck bad. :lol

And doing Arcade mode with all the characters to get the Arcade endings atm.

PSP version of CT? uh I heard it was pretty much the same thing, just crappier sprites

 

[Infinite Justice]

PSP version of CT? uh I heard it was pretty much the same thing, just crappier sprites

plus Legion mode, though thats now in CS

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Bah, thought they made on of CS. Guess I was thinking of something else.

 

[Prototype-03]

Combos in general are a lot tighter this game. I think CT was a way to get new ppl to get into the game. Once they suck you in, they started to go harder on the combos.

I actually played through the entire story mode last week on it to catch up for CS. I was out of town on vacation and didn't have access to the console version, so I figured, "why not?"

It's actually pretty good. Like Q said, it has pretty crappy sprites and the sound is not quite as good as the console version, but the game runs well and controls surprisingly decently. So it's not bad at all, especially if you're just going to play arcade and story and stuff like that. It's also where that Legion mode from CS comes from.

The multiplayer is kinda weak, since it's only adhoc with another person nearby. Or at least, that's the only way I could get it to work.

Edit: Oh, thought you meant CT PSP. My bad.

 

[DR2K]

Doing combos on a 360 pad is like using the rough end of sandpaper as a lubricant. Although I'm having a much easier time with this than SFIV surprisingly.

Nah, I appreciate it. I saw a PSP version on amazon and didn't realize it was CT. Might pick it up for on the go.

btw, I've invited many of you to the chat... I see some of you in there and no one responds when I ask if anyone wants to play =(

The regulars that I've been playing are kiunch (lol D scrub), kiryogi and Q. I've played the other like once or twice... WHERE ARE THE REST?

SCII had me. I'll start playing probably tonight, but mostly in training. Getting even a bit of lichi's combos down is going to take some time.

I just got the game today >_>

I've been playing in training/challenge mode trying to overcome the cognitive dissonance of playing the same character with completely different combos. D:

I'm here, too busy finishing story mode and learning combos. I don't want to go online until I learn Noel, but fuck her combos, fuck them to hell. I main Ragna though.

Infinite Justice, update the quoted portion of your reply please. I fixed the duplicates.

yea i saw it after looking again.

done and thanks.

Thanks for the avatar.

Fuck, I'm not going to know who I'm talking to now that everyone's avatar changed. :lol

:lol same here, but trying to figure out how to make it work and loop naturally is a bit beyond me. And you're very welcome

 

[kiunchbb]

I don't know why so many Noels seem to say this, I even saw it on dustloop for CT. He can sledge a lot of her attacks but she still had an advantage, IIRC it's even in CS...just needs to approach it differently.

Tagar has a lot of attack that dodge/parry projective, unfortunately for Noel, all her best Normal attack and special attacks are projectiles ever tho they are melee attack.

Lack of wake up move = 50/50 mind game where Noel will do 20% Tagar, and Tagar will do 60% to Noel if he guessed right. This mind game already happened a lot during CT, with gadget finger in CS, it happens even more.

Also all Noel's attack are in Tagar's throw range, which mean she's will alway face to face against Tagar.

Oh did I mention back step will dodge everything that Noel does?

Back in CT Noel's poke had better and faster normal poke, so she still have a chance against Tagar. However, the designer wanted people to spam Noel's drive more, so they heavily nerfed Noel's normal, which forgot to adjust her drive to work better against Tagar.

 

[Dresden]

I can't do any of the combos in challenge mode. I'm going to blame my 360 controller. :lol New pad arrives on Wednesday, so let's see what happens then. I'll always have beginner mode to fall back on!

I'll admit I don't have much experience with CS Noel aside from getting Haida looped to shame, but I think they did tweak her drive. It seems like a few more of her attacks aren't able to get sledged. Mainly 6D and spring raid to mix up, especially to avoid IB 360/720.

 

[SephirothRK]

There were a lot of great matches, but the final was damn hype, gj running that, and shoutout to Team Spooky for the stream. Do you know if they will upload the finals to youtube?

6D will get 360/720/sledged, spring raid cannot use as wake up, and it is not driver starter, can only be use as second move =(

Not only that, it is high punishable, low priority, and lost all its invincibility from CT era. It is now reduced to nothing but a combo chain.

 

[kiryogi]

Man tempting to change... But if I did I might just go back to my scribblenauts Lychee. That said. I think Ill remain faithful and stick to Ibuki.

 

[Dresden]

So... going through the story mode right now--I guess Noel doesn't wear underwear.

Also, is Ragna's gag ending the

Spoiler

one with the Crimson Grimoire

? Or is there another one?

 

[dragonlife]

My same line of reasoning :lol

That's the one. :lol

Also, I just finished Jin's Alt ending and the corresponding "Help Me, Professor Kokonoe!" ... Jin is so, so creepy.

Game delay until next week , seeing the chat room and unable to play is torture.
Might not be able to play good but i still play you guys.

I'm was doing story mode, I really enjoy the story mode in GG and BB games.

I will try and play tomorrow, but unfortunately I'm not at my house and I'm force to use Wireless, so that always bothers me while playing online. =/

 

[chriskun]

This game is fucking hard, I wish they made the combo system a little more mashy. I'm probably just spoiled from the easy inputs of sf4, fuck. Thinking of switching to an octo gate, maybe that will help.

 

[Dresden]

Okay, cleared Noel's story...

...really enjoying it so far. BB really are the only fighting games where you can legitimately play it for the story. :lol I do think Noel's VA is the weakest out of the bunch, though. Otherwise, the dubbing has been good.

Also, her gag ending wasn't as good as Ragna's, imo.

 

[LegatoB]

Getting really pissed off at the lag I'm getting online. I'm routinely dropping links I'd never drop offline and it makes me feel stupid; was it always like this in CT and I just blocked it out because I wasn't doing so many links (just stupid shit like jump cancel-cancelling 6D)?

...I still ended up going 15-0 in that scrub room a bro invited me into. Lordy, that was a massacre. Not really the fun kind of massacre, either. Especially when it ends with a couple of perfects.

Why would you go into a scrub room knowing you were above their level of play?
