Achievement Unlocked: Sticks and Stones

Ken's trial 5 is so hard to figure out. You basically have to be in the perfect spot, cancel EX fireball into super late in the window where you're able to do it, and then when you land the first time, cancel into super at the first frame possible. I probably tried it 100 times before the odd super "bounce" was just right both times.

You can save replays locally.

It's like SFIV in that it logs a lot of replays automatically to unsaved replay list. You can go in and save the ones you want to keep...

In fact, replays of *local* multiplayer games are saved this time, fixing the glaring oversight in Capcom's games so far.

I'll have to check again but I'm sure the replays I had saved were gone.

The producer of this game was an SBO qualifier for Blazblue. Someone in a position of power actually plays other games! Shame they didn't take any cues from them regarding trial demonstrations though.

Also an audio indicator of when you've been matched for a ranked match. It can take FOREVER, and it's bad enough hearing that awful music on a constant loop without having to stare at that spinning wheel too. Just a little 'ding' when you've been matched would be fine.

Changing the menu music to classic was the best thing I did. Assholes for hiding that from me. I went insane with the previous song.

It would be nice if I could just replay a combo with the press of a button, but thanks for the link.

Having replays available at the touch of a button is awesome. I loved watching the crazy ass combos I could never do in BlazBlue.

Oh well

Umm, has this happened to anyone? So I was playing an online match, and I guess the other people in the lobby left, so it was just me and the other guy. The game hung after we decided to "rematch", but after awhile the match begun except the colors were messed up and I was controlling his character and he was controlling mine. Then after the match we get out into the lobby and both are disconnect percentages are well above the million mark now. Even though I haven't quit out of any game. WTF...

You can get VP for playing online and completing those sidebar challenges. I'm just playing normally and I got a bunch of VP from it.

Coming from someone that skipped SFIII and its iterations... I'm really shocked at how much more strict the timing is for EX moves than IV. Shit is annoying!

I don't understand what people were expecting GGPO to do. If your connection sucks, your ports aren't forwarded, or you play people with bad connections it will be bad. No netcode can fix that. As it stands the netcode is a lot better than SF4/Marvel. AE is ok if people are close but playing vs people cross country is unplayable. The rewinds, weird graphical glitches, and so on that ggpo introduces, at least to me, is much better than input delay.

I've only been playing sets with people in private matches so I don't know about the matchmaking but I hope it gets fixed.

Speaking of earning VP, how the hell are you supposed to finish Handicap challenge #5? You have 0 health, and you're against expert AI that reads inputs.

Awesome, thanks for the reply.

I sent QiTopTier a message about it, is he the one organizing that?

Yeah! I could swear it was easier on the dreamcast.
I don't get how it works. You push lp+lk for throw - works every time. hp+hk for taunt - no problem. You do special with mp+hp - fucking thing never works.

The closest I got was around 30% of his health, doing jump back, or neutral jump fireballs. I also threw in sweeps whenever he whiffed DP's.

I tried to find a pattern like I did with the Alex one before it. For the Alex one, after I did one lunge punch to do a knock down, I would do two jump back fierces in the air, then land and do a fierce lunge punch. For whatever reason this always worked and alex never blocked it.

There must be a similar one with Ryu.

Friendly reminder to 360 players, easiest way to get a lobby going... add the gamertag GAF 3S, and using the view friends of friend feature, you'll see a whole bunch of Gaffers who added this tag and are likely online playing 3S :) send em invites!

Huh, weird. I thought it was just maybe I needed tighter execution, but is there maybe some kind of issue then for real with ex versions of moves, or maybe we are all just ass at execution ?

How do you do Ken's Trial 4, the Elena only combo? Better yet, are there video references for these trials yet? I tried looking online, but I couldn't find any.

He made the chat room but anyone who has access to the chat room can invite someone on their friend list. I sent you a chat invite on the first day I think. If you don't have it, I can send you another one.

There's a trick with Gill where if you knock him down, you can do a DP just as he wakes up to stuff whatever random poke he sticks out. Maybe that'll work here. Didn't think to try that.

It is really tight. You have to hit Elena in such a way that the last kick of the EX hurricane kick crosses up, and then immediately go to super. It's probably 1 frame.

And I miss EX moves sometimes too. I think the "plink" window in this game is much smaller.

I can do 720 with Hugo on the ground without problem but getting Alex's EX elbow is miracle. I open champagne every time it happens.

Challenge 5 is far easier than the Yun-Alex one. Ryu throws a lot of fireballs so they're easy to jump in and punish.
