That's if you want to invest time into this multimedia franchise of course. You realize how popular and well BlazBlue is doing when you see all these tie ins with Lord of Vermillion and other merchandise and media.

Meanwhile in america "HURDUR ANIMEEEE SUX OMGAH PLAY THE ORGINAL GOOD GAM GUILTY GEAAAR SO MANLY ITS NOT ANIME OMGAHHH BB TOO SLOWWWW PLAY MANS GAME"

Or someshit

I never saw or said anything folks.

You can pick Gief against my sagat if you like

I did that against Onemic and he didn't live to tell the tale.

If you wanna play SF should take advantage of that while I'm in a good mood.

Also my PSNID is AnneIFrank. No promises on anything cause I despise netplay but if I'm around I can try to be helpful sometimes.

I just finished watching some anime and getting scarred from the NTR I just witnessed. Some SF will sooth my soul.
 
Ragna's character design is awful and put me off of BB for years. GG easily has the cooler looking characters to me.

Anyways, a fighting game actually explaining how the mechanics work and the character way to play a character? Amazing. The music? Amazing.
 
I agree he's cooler, but Ragna is a better "character"
Definitely the better character.

sol is a never fucks up kindve hero, a lot more boring than Ragnas arc

Ragna is a generic as hell VN protagonist. He is a bumbling buffoon and gets dumped on by everybody until the plot requires the main character to be not completely worthless once in a blue moon. In my opinion Ragna is the least interesting part of his own story.

Edit: Sol never fucking up was balanced out by him being a jerk/asshole a vast majority of the time. It doesn't work nearly as well now because they softened his character so much.

I like the BlazBlue music more than Guilty Gear. But both are really good.

I also like how they gave each chara a crest in BlazBlue. I trying to find a higher resolution of Bullet crest.

They put a lot of investment in the setting and universe in BlazBlue.
 
Almost everyone in GG looks fantastic
except for Bridget.

Meanwhile, in BB, the character rankings are pretty split:

S Tier (what every design should aspire to be):
Nine the Phantom (Konoe would just be B tier)

A Tier (inspiring, recognizable, creative and interesting):
Arakune
Hakumen
Tsubaki
Kokonoe
Azrael
Amane

B Tier (some good ideas, but too derivative or cliche):
Ragna
Taokaka
Litchi
Tager
Izayoi
Valkenhayn
Relius
Nu

C Tier (completely uninteresting; paint by numbers tier):
Jin
Noel (with her original costume)
Rachel
Bang
Terumi
Celica
Hibiki
Naoto

D Tier (so bad it makes the game worse; these need complete designs or deletion):
Carl (would be F, but the doll looks cool)
Lambda
Hazama
Kagura
Makoto
Bullet

F Tier ("anime was a mistake" tier):
Noel (with the "new" costume)
Platinum (the worst)
Mu

Just talking character visuals here, not personality or moveset.

Edit: Oh yeah, and I read way more BlazBlue lore than anyone ever should last night. WTF @ there being Rachel the vampire and Raquel the vampire.

Ragna should be in D tier. Those balloon pants are awful looking. He needs a redesign super bad.

Tager looks stupid too, probably the only big body grappler in any fighting game ive ever not thought looked badass.

Today we learned Karst is not a Michael Jackson fan

Edit: Oh yeah, and I read way more BlazBlue lore than anyone ever should last night. WTF @ there being Rachel the vampire and Raquel the vampire.

That was my exact reaction.

Though I really hope Ragna's story can finally end and they start up with Naoto for the next arc.

I guess I'm being inconsistent, but I can't separate Ragna from his moveset aesthetics in my head. I like his combat lines, too.

Tager has magnetizing hands - that's pretty damn cool. He also has the best theme in the game...yeah, I'm not being fair. :p

I love MJ. :-( I still defend him whenever people try to spread lies about him. Probably the most unfortunate downturn into death in our nation's history. Imagine what he would be doing with BLM and such going on right now. The man was a legitimate bridge between races.

Why are you interested in Naoto?

There's no bias here. Bias would be saying Konoe is S tier. :p

As long as we agree on the "F"s I chose, we're good. I don't want to see anyone putting Platinum in S tier or some shit.

Pre battle Mu is A tier and Pre battle Mak is at least B


:( Stupid ass in battle designs :(
Pic me up.

I see you already understand why Hazama is at the top of my list Q.
So smooth.
Hazama reminds me of Adachi.

But is Azrael really that high when these are his official art and merchandise? Yes these are real and from the BlazBlue team.

Bullet is great. Except her matchups and tier.

I ain't a fan of Platinum either.
Wish i could love Kokonoe with the jethammer but that design.
Hazama is MJ man.
Adachi is some random salaryman

My eyes! Wait a min... is that a female one that's also really swole? Would buy that skin anyday. Already like Az.
 
Q, I would move each of those up one letter.

Hazama is not MJ. Don't insult MJ like that friends.

ASW needs to figure out a way to make characters such that it is easy to make costume/alt DLC for them. I would totally buy "clothed Mu", etc.

His dub is fantastic. He's voiced by Wesker himself, DC Douglas.

Got ya low. Come on. Entertain me.
Wesker VA is GOAT. You can't find anything better than Wesker shouting "Damn it" over and over while being comboed.

Reminds me of this:

Personality, Ability potential, just a new face in general.

His and Ragna's chest markings annoy the crap out of me too as there is still no explanation to them. But Naoto's has more detail on his.

I'm fucking just waiting for them to pull some bullshit and say ragna is his clone.

Did you watch those Evo finals in 2014? That was god-like Azrael execution.

Regarding Tsubaki, although she has a 'modest' outfit, I vastly prefer this look:

Indeed i did.
Tsubaki looks amazing anytime.

Can't unsee MJ when looking at Hazama. Like him more for that.
 
Hazama's attack animations are S tier for sure
His drive is great, too.

I actually read this post where someone said he is nerfed in CF "if you like to play Hazama by fishing around with the hook", and I thought "wait, are there Hazama players that don't do that?" I've never seen a Hazama player actually engage in the neutral outside of D spam.

On that note, I need some good BBCPEX play of Hakumen. Too much old stuff out there.
 
Why is Dustloop such a useless mess? The entire Hakumen thread for BBCPEX videos doesn't even link to the actual videos.

Also, I am pumped for Hakumen's new move. LOOK AT THIS SHIT:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMIoCGiB4Ak&feature=youtu.be

That is hype.

Jesus Hakumen lol
Yes!
Karst needs to see this to notice the MJ powers.
Wow. Okay, I admit defeat. Hazama moves up 2 tiers on my list.

Did you see what I linked earlier? It's a great player to search for.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqh6kzo6ty0
I didn't. Thanks.

Tomorrow? What's your PSN?


I was considering it, but I think XRD is as farthest I'll go in the anime genre
What if I told you that BB is more like SF than GG?
