While fleeing from your opponent, it is possible to block their pursuing assault.
Basically blocking and running away simultaneously.

Amazon says mine ships August 10th. I hope their estimates for shipping are also way off in a positive way like their estimates for delivery, lol. ;_;
Too bad Prime doesn't exist in Canada (I think?)
@Marrshu: That helps a tinsy bit.
Oh okay. Thanks!
Up-back. You do it to avoid high-low mixups and try to escape pressure.
I have a nasty habit of looking at my character while I'm blocking for whatever reason, but I block pretty well when I'm really paying attention. My most cherished moment in Blazblue was instant blocking Ragna's 5B and super kicking him with Hazama. I was so proud of myself. Then he bursted and killed me.
I was afraid of her, but so far she has been dealable.
Yu.....fuck Yu. Seriously.
But so far I am loving Elizabeth, but when people get awakened you realize how much that low health really hurts if you slip up.

I'm probably going to lose a lot of matches just doing that on reaction.
Awww. That's lame, hope that's moved up.
Dive kick.
Why do you hate Yu?

He's a strong character with good normals and a simple yet very effective oki.
His Dive kick isn't good for pressure. You'll probably only be using it to end air combos to get the hard knockdown and the J.D oki.
It's broken?
I'm from Michigan. Although nowhere near Romulus. I dunno why stuff comes from there when it's UPS, but good odds I'll have it by the time monday is over.
(And before anyone asks, yes, we have a Remus too. And Hell.... )
It's ok, we have this place
Nah. I think his ability to carry you to the wall and advance forward with his persona is really strong though. He's just solid in general.
Oh cool. Yeah I've put my self in a media blackout until launch, so I'm not really up to snuff on combo videos.
More people there than in Hell. I know why it's called Hell too; Because nobody would ever want to live in the middle of fricking nowhere. >.<!
I like buying fighting games on release because of the feeling of having a slight advantage against online players for a week or two if I really work at learning the characters and get comfortable with a few of them, but I'm not such a fan when the company who released it comes out with a newer version about a year later.
Arc System Works has done it with BB:Calamity Trigger, and Guilty Gear XX. What does everyone think the odds are of an updated version of this one? I'm thinking slim to none, but I'd like a few opinions before I take the plunge.

Low unless Atlus is really interested. It's a total collaboration between the two companies. If atlus doesn't want to devalue the brand, they will probably tell ASW to make something else.

I think if you're not a super serious player, buying the game on release, playing with everyone else that got it for the first few weeks/months, and then moving on to whatever else afterward would be fine.

In defense of number notation - it's a helluva lot more efficient than any alternative when applied to 3D fighters (namely SC and VF, Tekken goes over my head but I don't play it). [3][3][P] > down-forward down-forward P.
33P would probably be df, df P. Still pretty inefficient. To be honest, I like number notation more because I think it's a lot more open-ended. I can do [4]6 for a charge move, 5ABC (8) j.BC or something if you need to do a neutral jump, 623A 6B for KOF input shortcuts, etc. It's pretty easy to read if you're used to it too.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
And confusing, as some people could interpret df df as qcfx2 if they weren't paying close attention.
I think given that it's the most successful Japanese fighter in its first week ever, there will be at least a DLC update and some milking, though odds of a full-blown sequel are about 50/50.
Hokuto was somewhat popular and didn't get a sequel (game was horrifically and hilariously broken though, it really was Japanese Marvel)
Personally, I don't mind paying for the updates, unless it's truly milking it like Extend (I don't think Arc will repeat that mistake- I think they know they messed up which is why they went hard on the next BB, or they needed to raise funds for the next BB- not sure which)
Still would like to know who the best counterpick is versus Aigis- that's the character I'd probably want to main- Aigis just looks unfun to play against.
So, I finally had some time to check out the story mode for the past few hours. Did the first parts for Charlie, Naoto, Kanji and Yukiko.
As expected, the Atlus staff did an amazing job handling this part of the game. I really like how they handled the little details connecting the separate stories such as
I'm a real sucker for this type of stuff, so I'll probably won't even hit the lab for the next few days. :lol
I did have a little offline session with the local resident BB player who's also looking to getting into the game. We did go back and forth for the first half of the set, but he did pick up some of the mechanics a little faster than I did. I played as Charlie (Yu) so I will probably be using him for the first week of offline/online play. I did learn a lot about Elizabeth's moves, though.

Yosuke setting up an emergency exit (as explained in the main four characters' meeting in Junes for the first time) in the TV world. You know, just in case someone is clumsy enough to fall into it by being half-asleep and not being careful... which is what Kanji did, of course.

It was a funds thing, they had to rework and redo a lot of stuff for part 3 because they couldn't reuse a good chunk of assets. Extend was pretty much a LOL SORRY BB3 Isn't done yet! Here take this character we created using P4A as a base and some gameplay tweaks see you in a year!
I love some of the gags in story mode. The little details that carry over from one character to the next are just awesome. Case in point:
Nobody ever lets Mitsuru live down the fact that she was suppose to be on a covert operation in Inaba. Seeing her reactions to this in story mode = PRICELESS

I would just scumbag it and drop it so they don't get the state at all
I'm guessing from the achievements and the videos I saw that Awakenings don't happen right away? They have to be on the ground or otherwise be neutral for a second?
Yu Narukami. "Charlie Tunoku" was the nickname given to him by the Giant Bomb Endurance Run.

Correct, if the combo is still going they wont go into that state
Yep they have to return to a neutral state before it happens.
This isn't true.
Maybe for a 2D game, but Tekken always has bigger debuts.
Don't have data for older 2D games (prior to PS2), so those may have been bigger too.
P4A actually outsold Tekken 6 in each game's respective first weeks. (128,485 P4A to Tekken's 103,105)
Bleh, Chavelo beat me to it. But yeah, the PS3 version alone beat the combined first week sales of Tekken 6 on the 360 and PS3.
Well, was using Garaph, so Famitsu there.
Famitsu has Tekken 6 at 120,304, while Persona 4 Arena at 117,318.
After losing to the same guy 11 times in a row I think I finally sussed out a little bit on how to play Naoto.
Man, 2D fighting games are hard as fuck.
Also, here's some more substantial impressions for the netcode. 3+bars is basically no lag at all. On 2 a very slight slowdown begins to occur, and and 0 there's a slight input lag. Nothing too terrible though.

The promise of downloadable skimpy outfits too great.

Reviews for a fighting game? That's a little weird o.o/
What about the game did you want to know?

IIRC Haunts said he was working on a review. I assume it'll be up on Tuesday at the latest.
