Is there a move list for omega yet? I'm sure this has been asked a million times already, but this has been the first time I've been able to sit down with it a little.

Thank you sir.
And yes I will be checking that out since I should have Guilty Gear later in the day and I love Faust.

I like how Guile has Remy's wheel kick thing, lol
"Hot-blooded" isn't an adjective that accurately describes either character. Their characterizations are promoted by the company as being the complete opposite of that, in fact. Dante in particular.
Omega Mode will be dead in a week. Faster than that without infinite patches. It's for the people that whine about the series being slow and boring and the infinities will just be another lame excuse for them to pick the game up and drop it again.

How long until ArcSys's business model collapses on them

When otaku stop buyin moe shit aka never
Probably never.
You can only cannibalize your audience so much before they burn out.
That said, they can survive on a small audience.

ENZO WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT IN THE OP THAT THE NEW HAJIME NO IPPO FIGHTING GAME IS COMING OUT SMFH
Most of the bigger games, like Calamity Trigger and Chrono Phantasma, don't need to be million+ sellers to be profitable.
They probably do like 200k worldwide, at best, and combined with arcade revenues, this keeps them afloat, even growing.
Compare that with something like Street Fighter V, which'll probably need to do 2-3 million+ to be profitable, and it's understandable why they keep fleecing their base.

Not as long as otakus keep buying anything with anime aesthetics and stupid fanservice/eye candy, at least.
Maybe not shonen level hot blooded, but Dante is pretty cocky and fun loving compared to the serious Vergil, at least in 3. Those two are a perfect fit for the Red Oni, Blue Oni trope.
Edit: Anyways, we're going off topic with this.
It's still a terrible business model and it will eventually backfire on them. That being said, I'm considering BB CP extend as a good entry point in the series.
Perfect timing to get a current gen version with no need for DLC characters (in theory).CountBlack

Hell, Arcsy exposing themselves announcing the next Blazblue right before Xrd drops, lmao.
maybe they got the SFxTK QA team to handle omega
I don't think it's a terrible business mode, it's the definition of sustainability. It just sucks because were the ones who receive the short end of the stick with them prioritizing arcade revenues. It's not much room for growth with such a model but arcsys isn't a big company at all. The only way it'll backfire on them is with a huge cultural shift in Japan.It's still a terrible business model and it will eventually backfire on them.

Well I guess street fighter is safe then.
Ken Bogard released another SFV video. Anyone here want to translate what he's saying (especially on more hints/rumors)?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyyIb1tk5jE
No need. Even if I have no idea what he's saying, I would just prefer French always lol

They know their audience will keep shelling out for the titles.
I am buying if Nine finally gets in. Do the right thing, ASW!
So are you playing I-No in Xrd?
Jesus Christ fighting GAF is full of some grumpy ass old ninjas. :lol
God damn I love this shit.

Going for Zato. :-D
I've wanted to use him since my first GG, but I was just a mashy scrub that didn't understand game mechanics. I mostly used Dizzy and Testament since I liked projectile spam. I-No is cool, but she's not quite my style.
I was planning on spending 2 full weeks of Christmas Break practicing Zato in training mode, but now it's all fucked up and I don't even have a way to play the game. -_-

it's omega. every character should have an infinite or two.
I mean, there's a new ArcSys fighting game announced about every 3 months, but BlazBlue itself is only annual.
Things get wonky when you use the Japanese and US releases though. And then even more when you add in the arcade releases.
Apparently CC2 isn't developing this so I guess it's understandable as to why the battle system's so different. I'm just a bit saddened over the fact that the battle system isn't going to get tweaked a bit more; maybe after the mass resell blunder that ASB turned out to be Bamco refused to give the Jojo name to CC2 again.

Haha me and you always like the same types of characters I feel(except wtf @Blanka), been trying to grind out Zato too but holy dicktits he's hard. I got a full week off next week but honestly its going to take me a while especially with the fact that you need to learn the muscle memory for negative edging during combos and even just in neutral, which I've never had to do before.
He's got some really cheap stuff though. Good anti airs, command grab, unblockables, safe specials etc. I can tell how he works its just getting to the point where my fingers are capable of keeping up with my brain lol.
Dizzy, Testament, and Zato were the characters I always dicked around with in +R, if Testament gets into this game I'm maining him.
That reminds me, I need to add you on my other account that's usually for fighters.
I can teach you Zato for sure though if you need anything.
Yes plz that would be amazing.

I would like to try and stick with Zato.
I only play Blanka because Oni is super bad and frustrating. Also, I enjoy pianoing. It gives my fingers something to do in Street Fighter. Sometimes I pick new characters up just to learn a new technique. For example, I picked Guile up when I started SFIV because I was playing Painwheel/Parasoul in Skullgirls, and I wanted to learn how to play a charge character. I'm not a huge fan of Blanka, but the entire SFIV cast is pretty underwhelming to me.
Plus, fireballs suck in SFIV, and after months of getting hit by random EX crap that goes through them, it's fun to play one of the best anti-fireball characters in the game. Finally, I picked SFIV up knowing that it would just be a transitional game. I don't think I could ever play it seriously in its current state.
It's too bad Xrd isn't cross-buy if you go digital. Then I could use my PS3 stick for a while until the PS4 ones are available again.

Agreed on that. But if you know what to look for it's not too hard.
Good luck with that. I'll hear back in 10 days and let ya know what happened. Also Astarte, you lucky bum!
I did and Karst will not like that either.
You don't understand his grievances with USF4. It's that it's easy to counter/get in on fireball/zoning characters off of a single read thanks to the various moves that go through projectiles (pretty much every character at least have an EX move that goes through, characters like Shoto have a Tatsu that goes through without using EX).
I don't have a problem with that personally even though I play Guile. I like that I can't just sit back and win with just fireballs all day... would be way too cheesy.
Trust me when I say that in a fighting game of this volume catching everything is just an absolute impossibility. I expected this to happen the moment the mode released.
Yeah, given that it's "we're gonna let as much bullshit as possibly slide", it was sort of inevitable, and will just need whack-a-mole patching.
His fireball game is better than Sagats now. His EX was sped up in the initial Ultra release as well which people forget.
