Smash 4 players don't know how to handle playing a character. News at 11.

Speaking of which remember when dudes was tight at Ryu when he dropped.

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

But SF4 has pretty good animations

Nah. Using MK9 as an example isn't exactly a favourable comparison either, since it took up until MKX for NRS to finally have some passable animations in their games after decades in the business.

What's the likelihood of SFV getting a lighting upgrade like KI, Tekken 7, and XRD Revelator?

Slim to none. Capcom can't even be bothered to properly spreuce up old games like Resident Evil 4 / REmake, unless their devs genuinely think gaudy filters do a sufficient enough job.

At least there's potential in PC mods though:

2nd Pic reminds me of RE5. Crazy how different this game is on the pc

 

[KidA Seven]

Pls guys no more. It makes me too sad knowing we got coked up npcs on stages.

Spoiler

Fire Ono!

 

[BadWolf]

They should really put in an option to turn the npcs off since so many seem to find them annoying.

...I honestly don't even notice them when playing matches.

 

[Line_HTX]

apparently the alex update has broken the game?

you can change character versions in versus mode unintentionally according to some people on twitter.

The equivalent of being unable to use Rolento for a full month in sfxt because his dagger touching another projectile freezes the game to the point where you have to hard reset your console.

Man I hope that they add this to SFV eventually. I've always loved how SFII changed colours between versions.

They already made(at least) 2, night time New Zealand and day time Kanzuki Estate, Capcom just doesn't feel like allowing us to play in them yet.

Heh, I'm reminded of that funny video with Rolento and Megaman stitched into the old JoJo ova. Can't find it though so you guys will have to enjoy this instead.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if all the new stages from now on will just be different versions of the current set

they'll never add in the transitions either, chinatown bangbus will forever be the only one

They really just said "fuck that shit" when it came to the other stages lol. I'm surprised more people don't blow them up for putting transitions in just one stage.

Braver's Revel 2016, the national event for BlazBlue, is wrapping up their qualifiers and some character data in regards to participation and character frequency per region.

I'll update the list with the team names and participants of each team eventually since I'm busy the rest of the day.

Will update on the coming days of the final tournament. Finals will be taking place April 23 @ 13:00. Stream will be posted soon.

Why is this important? Because Japanese players are not only from Tokyo and don't always come to America. There are plenty of top level and high level players throughout Japan that many of you may not know.

I hope this is helpful, share to those interested in BlazBlue if Western players want to get better and know more.

I am providing twitter handles for you to follow and learn more about the game, I hope that you are respectful enough if you do talk to them and ask a question.

Sorry if my english is off, I personally know only some of these players so I am doing my best judgement for you can understand in english.

Number of each character in tournament
7: Carl, Nine
6: -
5: Litchi
4: Ragna, Azrael
3: Jin, Arakune, Hakumen, Izayoi, Izanami
2: Bang, Hazama, Makoto, Relius, Celica
1: Noel, Tager, Rachel, Tsubaki, Valkenhayn, Mu, Bullet, Lambda, Hibiki, Naoto
0: Taokaka, Nu, Platinum, Amane, Kagura, Kokonoe, Terumi

There is spot for a final last qualify the day of. update later.

Teams/Players to watch out for:

Tennti/Kinji: A young and upcoming team whom have started playing very recently. My favorite to win and I have a bias for personal reasons. They work for a sake brewery and they are top ranked in their respective characters. The nation's strongest Izayoi with one of the strongest Carls.

Poropicchi/Q: Very strong Hakumen and Nine players. Don't underestimate them, understand the game very well and are able to pull off upsets. Dark horse to win Bravers Revel with matchups.

Ikemen/take: MAXIM HERO regulars well known in the region and competitors at the MAXIM HERO danisen, consistently top and one of the best in Hokkaido. Hometown representatives. Don't sleep on this team.

Tetsuwo/Isa: This team also needs no introduction or explanation. Tetsuwo Rachel gives players nightmares and with how strong Carl is in BBCF they are one of the teams to beat. Good luck to who matches with them first.

Fenritti/Iwashi: Best Jin in the nation and a very strong Ragna from Kansai. They are each other prefer team mates at Athena Nihonbashi Oosaka and other game center. Fenritti results in the past have beaten very many of the best players consecutively. 2v2 and matchup seeding makes it very interesting.

Dogura/Minami: No need to explain or introduce.

Notable Players not attending/did not qualify:
EA
Kikutiyo
emushi
Atelier
Galileo
Tenkyo
Kotetsu
Terralunar
Tujikawa
Kaichou
Denpa
Linhime
Koke
and more to show the large talent pool out there...

 

[shaowebb]

do you have the japanese or english version in your head>?

Japanese...I had never seen it till it was posted here. Now it wont leave my head. I was playing Darius Burst earlier with it going through my head as round shots flew by. I was playing Dengeki earlier and it was running through my head as Ako would run, I was playing Hyrule Warriors Legends earlier and it even ran through my head as I was feeding Deku Nuts to my fairy "Chiblet"!

;_;

I think there is permanent brain damage after seeing that. It never leaves.

Seven Nines, but no one wants to say she's better than high tier?

Those comments were made prior to qualifiers taking place. Qualifiers ended a week ago and we are preparing for everything else in 2 weeks where more data will be compiled and results will be made in the following weeks.

I apologize for being slow I am still slow with this forum posting.

I am in the process of updating with twitter handles and team names.

If people want an actual thread for the tournament let me know. I want to do this as a favor as I am sure Western players want to learn and know more.

I would love a tournament thread. Any info about Nine is info I want. The recent gameplay videos on dustloop have slowed to a crawl, and it looks like all the same tech. No one has been showing off great spell combos or anything.

 

[Shun]

Then I will make one.

I linked streams to qualifiers in the past, but no one here but maybe me watched some of them since they are probably too late at night for some of you.

When I get the chance maybe tomorrow I can link recorded archives from Youtube or Nico.

I may do something like this for Guilty Gear now that I feel a little more comfortable doing something like this. There is a lot of strong Guilty Gear player and events outside of Arc Revo that can be follow.

Gundam is too much of a hassle and too fast to constantly do news for.
