BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

[Katlan]

Sorry if it has been said here before, but I am picking up the game tonight, who is the noob/button mashing friendliest character to start with?

Jin or Noel lol, but you will just be joining the ranks of 75% of the ppl who play those characters online.

I never liked Tager much, and I have not played a Tager who can beat me as Tao.. I don't think I've ever lost a single round to a Tager player lol. Not saying I'm "that" good, maybe the Tager's I have played are just bad... and lol, I finally found somebody who played Carl against me. I will say, when the person can set it up so the doll is behind you and they are in front... they can wreck some serious dmg. Especially when the doll is right behind you, but out of screen so you can't even anticipate it. I still owned Carl though but i see the potential for him to be a beast

[SnickySnacks]

After much serious discussion and experimentation, I have determined that I am terrible at this game.


Tager seems easy on Tao mostly because you can dash over just about anything he does. Tao's speed helps out a lot on Hakama, Tager, and to some extent, nu-13. For the life of me, I can't beat Rachel or Jin (edit: or Ragna) on Tao *ever*.

Unfortunately, my Tao has a mind of her own. Every time I try to do a combo she goes and does some other attack (often the crouching claw thing) and then I get pummeled. T_T

Oh well. TORPEDO! TORPEDO!

Well I intend to do singleplayer to get the hang of it then move on to deeper characters before I go online. I'm not great at fighting games but this one looks so damn fun.

Carl can juggle you for ~50% of your life bar. It's ridiculous if you ever meet a player who can pull it off.

I dunno, I hadn't looked much into the characters at all before I bought it - spiritual successor to Guilty Gear was good enough for me. After playing some VS matches against the CPU using all of the characters, I wound up liking Noel and Litchi. So far anyway. IMO, just do something like that and find which ones you like.

A good Rachel player can own me w/ Tao so fast, Rachel has like a counter for everything Tao can do lol. I will say I love how characters talk to others (even on network) as they would in the story mode. I get so much amusement from fighting a Litchi player to only have Tao call her "boobie lady" at the start, then be all like "good attack boobie lady", ect... randomly during the matches lol

[Oravis]

Not very good at the game still but if anyone wants to play me online my psn id is Oravis.

Picked up the game today also, so after some practice I'll be looking forward to playing with some of you folks.

Incorrect, Carl can juggle you got 100% of your lifebar. The guy in that video is actually doing it wrong.

This is how you do it like a pro:

YouTube - BlazBlue - Carl

[Krandor]

Only Ragna, Rachel, Hakumen, and another Carl can break the infinite, and even then it only works if the person doing it is jacking something up. And actually Rachel's break was(is?) banned in Tournaments because 90% of the time it freezes the game, unless it's something they fixed in the Home release.

I thought I was hearing things at first when I'd play Jin players and he kept saying "You bitch".

Don't think I've ever played a fighting game where chars said unique things to each other based on who they were playing against before.

EDIT: Does anyone know exactly what properties change when the heat counter changes to black? Lowered damage or something?

[Korietsu]

I've been messing around with score attack and I find that there's alot of bugs in this game dealing with distances and how the computer plays. Unlimited rachel can cast any of the lightning bolts while stunned or even during the middle of your attacks. Jin vs Jin is as easy as knocking back the CPU Jin and throwing ice swords, since he'll never come after you. Unlimited Nu will go completely invlunerable to throws/counters for up to 50 hits against you. Iron tager will not be in your throw range, even though his hitbox is still touchable. He can also grab you off the start and deal 50% of your health in damage before you get a chance to attack.

Its also fun watching the computer go beserk and being completely invlunerable to any attacks/counters/grabs and immediately go through your barrier without you being able to stop them for back to back rounds.

That and the computer is very vulnerable to infinite grabs, and doesn't know how to deal with Jin's ranged. CPU Arukune is an instant loss against a human Jin, quite easy to go back to back perfects on him because of how the AI acts.

[Moridam]

logged about 110 ranked matches so far and still no silver trophy for 100. wtf

[Insanecyclone]

Checking out each person's taunts and one of Taokaka's is "Did you eat your breakfast?" :< and most fights against who they are supposed to fight they talk to each others midfight kind of cool. Taokaka will call Itachi boobie lady and say "bouncey bouncey" when they fight lol it's great,

[Ramor]

Learning Litchi, she's a lot harder than Jin imo >.>

way fucking harder, anyone good enough to know what i'd be doing wrong in the follow combo:

5B 5C(2) 3C [D] ]D[ iad JC haku staff2 dash JBC land tsubame 6C~

haku=236A
iad=96
JBC=B->C in air
[D] ]D[ is just holding, pausing then letting her staff go
staff2 is the second staff hit
tsubame = 632D

i get to the haku part and either the staff hits before haku does, or haku hits and i'm unable to get into the JBC combo part, i'm fairly confident i could manage the rest of the combo if i could get past this part

pulled it off of dustloop if anyone's wondering where i got it from

[Katlan]

So are these games pretty much a series... like will BB have a sequel w/more characters and more character stories (and then also continue building off of the old story)? Or will BB2 be an all new cast/story?

[Nitsuki]

Considering how gg went, it'll continue on w/ new people. If the follow the gg formula, the next installment will have 4 more characters, then the next will have 4 more, then 3 more.

One thing i love about GG is the story behind it, i hope they can do the same with Blaz.

Story basically revolves around a guy beating people up because he wants to do 12yr old(looking) girls.

I think we're already as deep as it's gonna get.
