Have you seen the instructional videos?
Very useful.
Also, I'd recommend starting off as Ragna, Jin, Noel, or Taokaka.

I look forward to some more playtime in the near future.
Ahh so that was you? Awesome gg's.
To Docpan:
You just got to take this game one step at a time. I've had the game since launch, but I've seen myself improve everyday with this game. I would help you out, but I don't have the game for the PS3. This thread has really run its course so you won't see too many ppl posting anymore. I would advise that you go here to find ppl on the PS3 to play with.

I'm in the GAF tourney atm, and I'm getting my ass whooped day in, and day out, but I'm watching the better players, and recording matches to see where I'm lacking, and how my opponent is playing. There are so many advantages like youtube to look up character strategy, the limited edition DVD guide, and recorded matches that you can't go wrong AT ALL.
I hope this helps a bit, because I wouldn't want another person discouraged by the initial barriers of fighting games.
Edit:

I`m hoping Arc dont release a billion versions of this game
The next BlazBlue should be released at the earliest in 3 years. This game is deep enough to last a long time. Balance changes should be done through patches. If they release too many versions they will scare away alot of people, just like they did with Guilty Gear.
Oh and hurry up and announce a PAL version

The Arcade sequel/update is rumored for October... I wouldn't count on Arc giving up their traditionKAL2006 said:

For everyone asking for a PAL release, I remember reading from aksys games that they had no plans to do so. Well the now gone LE I think for right the limbo must suck arse.
As for BB versions, I just hope we get tweaks via patches and what not. Even the best games need tweaking.
By the way are any of you guys playing locally against competition?

3 years!? I doubt their goal is to wait long enough to release an update that only the hardcore, who stuck with the game, is going to care. The game sold pretty well from what I understand. Hopefully they don't take too long for an update. I wouldn't mind if they dropped something by this time next year.
KAL2006 said:
I don't see the big deal. People will buy a sequel every year for a FPS or Sports game, but it's bad for a fighter to receive updates? And hopefully we can all just forget KOF XII happened for the time being.
SuperMattyFighter2T said:
Well with other genres that come out yearly, they are completely different to each other. Lets take Call of Duty as an example. Call of Duty 4, WaW and Modern Warfare 2. All have different weapons, campaigns, online stages and etc. Where as Guilty Gear XX and Guilty Gear XX Reload (or SF2 and SF2 CE) are near enough the same game. The only other genre that has it like that is sports games but thats a different story. I'd rather wait 3years and have BlazBlue 2 with better graphics, new stages and characters and improved gameplay.
What if they did the upgrade thing with all games (e.g Super Resident Evil 4 - now with 2 new characters, 1 new stage, balance changes and released a year after the orignal) another year later (Ultra Resident Evil 4 XX with another new character, more balance changes)

Edit: I'm still waking up and I know I'm not reading your post right. Forgive the stupid post, I guess I meant to quote your quote? lmao
Can't say that I agree with this being a good idea. In fact that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Why should I have to wait longer for a somewhat incremental upgrade compared to getting a whole new game sooner? Normally doesn't it go the other way round, like isn't that the opposite logic behind expansion packs? While I don't like having to buy the same game + minor improvements so soon at full retail a la Guilty Gear. I wouldn't mind something akin to a very cheap fallout 3/oblivion expansion.
The only problem is splitting the current user base, which if they did that I wouldn't buy it just out of principle :lol Free DLC ftw
Anyway whatever they do they need to be careful since online for me is crucial to BB, if they do something that would hinder my ability to play with friends or make me pay more too soon I probably wouldn't look forward to a sequel.
But waiting 3 years? F*** no. From a business perspective it's probably better to strike while the iron is hot so to speak. Not to mention that the upgrades we would see in BB2 would more likely than not not be worth waiting 3 years for.
As an incredibly picky consumer there's almost no good way to handle an update other than free for me:lol

Lol, your situation sounds exactly like mine. I can pull off a couple combos maybe 50% of the time in Training, but then in a real battle I lose it and just start flailing around, lol. Though I have to say, in the 4 days I've been messing with it since I bought it, I have noticed a marked improvement in my play. I'm still not good, hell I'm not even mediocre, but the fact that I can feel myself improving is enough to get me to stick with it. So yeah, though it may seem like madness now, just keep going with it because it's a really awesome game once you start to grasp it. This game kind of makes me wish I hadn't ignored the fighting genre up til now.

I finally got this game.
I am so awful at it I am ashamed. But I'll be damned if I don't get at least decent with Noel.

Pretty much what I've been doing lately...It's worse when you're trying to move and realize just how many games you have and will probably never have interest in playing again :\

I can't imagine Arc System would be stupid enough to divide their already limited user-base like that. Game-altering DLC has to be free. Cosmetic DLC can be for money.
Otherwise, just give us a completely new retail version in a year. I'm cool with that. You're much more likely to reinvigorate players with a new retail version than with DLC that alienates new players (who would have to buy the original disc and new DLC). Add a few bells and whistles to keep the long-time players interested. Everyone wins.

they could make the new BB(like #reload) just an updated version with a few new fighters and still let you play the original version as well. They did the same thing before except you had to pay full price for it. If they made it an expansion that was just like $20 that would be way better than a retail version. cosmetic dlc should be free.

For those that primarily use Bang how's that working out for you? I was BSing yesterday at a buddy's place and I put in some training time with him felt very natural and smooth. I think I'll learn him after Jin

Comparing Blazblue to the CoD games is one of the stupidest comparisons you could have ever made, really.
Call of Duty - 2 developers on it, publishing every other year, MILLIONS of dollars behind their development.
Blazblue - 1 SMALL developer, not so much money behind it.
Also, pushing aside sports games for the sake of your argument is BS too. Anyway, the incremental upgrades that are made to arcade games like Blazblue are what's necessary for the arcade scene, which you don't understand, so let's not go there. Fact is, Blazblue is an arcade game with a niche audience, and a small budget. To expect Arc Systems to compete with a publisher like Activision and the amount of money they pour into their games is ridiculous.

So I played this game last night due to a friend bringing it over.
And I must say it's amazing
. Despite me not having the slightest inclination of what I was doing I still had a blast and can't wait to play it again :3. The only thing keeping myself from indulging is that rumor of a "Blazblue 2" coming out in October..... I think I'll wait and see what's up with that first.

I finally managed to pull of Noels 22C -> 6C(B+C) combo once today. That's right, only once, but I'm still totally jacked about it.
On a side note, I tried out the remote play, and it's too bad about the lag, because I really prefer the PSPs d-pad.

Uhhh.
Some of the suggestions regarding DLC and updates are weird.
For people who purchased the original BB, make the subsequent updates a patch you can purchase, as well as a full retail edition for those just jumping in. Cosmetic DLC should also be paid for. Minor patches that affect gameplay should be free.
Cosmetic DLC will probably be, and should be, paid for. It'll satisfy those that want the extra bells and whistles, and won't affect those that just want to play the core game. Minor patches should be free, while major updates would probably have to be paid for.

Incremental upgrades are beneficial to fostering the community of players who bought the game, since many players like to see changes for the better.
Fixing balance issues and adding new characters/features shows that the developer cares about the community surrounding its game. (and wants to make more money)

Oh, I'd like to mention this game is extremely casual friendly, especially because of the macros. Everyone gets to be a flashy pro.
What a brilliant idea, Aksys.
Only suggestion I'd make is make everyone an Unlimited Version. It'd be hilarious for casual play.

Yeah, by all accounts it seems as though there's certainly a close relationship between the two.
So this game is 70 dollars in canada... what I"m wondering from you devout followers in this thread- is it worth 70 dollars ? After having a runaround given to me by NCIX I finally have an arcade stick shipping to me from their competitor newegg that will apparently show up on tuesday and as much as I like SF4 I'd like to buy another fighter. I played KOF12 at a friends house and wasn't much of a fan but BlazBlue actually looks like quite a bit of fun... I"m just really hesitant to jump into it for 70 bucks...
So try and sway me gaf.

I'm from Canada as well, and this game is well worth the $70 that I paid for it. It's got a surprisingly robust single player, and the online is absolutely flawless.
