BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

[Milks]

i really dont see many people playing anymore besides random people, and i get tired of playing the typical ice car jin. people are starting to get better though, and im finding myself getting my ass handed to me more often. i play every now and then. when do you normally get on?

[Nitsuki]

pretty much every other night now, i'm always w/ my gf playing random old school games tho or fallout 3, i play bb time by time.

[Milks]

I'll be looking for you then

[Moridam]

FINALLY finished Score Attack just now, I'm fuckin' ecstatic haha. Took me probably 50+ retries in my most recent session split between last night + today but finally managed to get lucky, I was a hair away from perfects on both my wins too. I did it with Jin and I truly have no handle on playing him at all, no real combos or anything so I probably made it a bit harder on myself than necessary, but meh.

I have one trophy left for Platinum and I can't get it on my own :\ Anyone playing on PS3 that would be willing to help me get Rachel's sometime?

[Oravis]

Grats on the Trophy. Weird..when we started the real match it said you disconnected and then my game froze.

[Moridam]

Thanks for the help man, much appreciated! Not sure what happened here either, gave me the 'host has disconnected' message but no freezing up on my end. Might be my router flaking out yet again, been torrenting a bit today so it probably needs a quick reset.

[Oravis]

Oh and I have to say, we are both terrible with Rachel.

[Moridam]

Oh man, I was laughing hysterically soon as we actually started fighting. I was sitting there thinking "...shit, what do i do now?". At least I wasn't alone on that one, haha.

GGS man, that Ragna is savage! I have a hell of a time dealing with aggressive ragnas most of the time, and you definitely kept the pressure on. I think the lag during that last match was mostly responsible for that last win of mine, lol.

[Conformity]

fuck this game too many infinites, not wasting my time on this, mvc2 and sf4 fo lyfe nyukas

[Nitsuki]

um... only infinite i know is carl's midscreen, and that's easily techable if you break from his grabs. Arakune's corner trap isn't even an infinite seeing that you can either counter assault out of it or IAD from it. If there are others that don't involve throws, let me know, cuz that's all i can recall.

[Moridam]

yeah, i guess i must be getting wooshed, playing the wrong game, or the wrong people. in the ~600 matches i've logged online, i've yet to be hit with any infinites and the only second-hand one i've seen is carl's clap-trap loop, which seems prohibitively difficult enough that it's not going to be abused much (which is also techable, apparently!).

Yeah that was funny lol. I kept wondering if you actually got the trophy or not and if I should attack or wait. So confusing.

And thanks Your hakumen is pretty badass too. Those were some fun matches for sure. The monorail stage always lags online. Its pretty annoying.

lol at MvC2 in same sentence as bitching about infinites.


Also Carl's infinite is not techable if they're doing it right. But at the same time, even with an infinite, Carl is the worst character by far.

/shrug, maybe he is considering how the game is, but Dio would say otherwise. Besides, you're stuck in that combo and if you tech it's an air-throw which leads you back into that combo again. It's really annoying. I do have to agree with the previous post that this game is broken (Litchi/Nu/Arakune/Carl) I also had a match where I hit Litchi in a combo and in the middle of that combo Litchi throws her dragon punch move in the middle of that combo (nope, it's not black, it was red) while getting hit. Rediculous.

Ik

[MisterBob]

lol @ thinking Litchi is broken.

[Darus Grey]

People only think the game is broken because they quit it before getting far into it. Same thing happened with my local scene, game came out, everyone plays it for a few weeks and is like "lol this game is busted, Jin's infinite...lol(protip: it isn't an infinite, lrn2tech), fuck this shit!!@1!@". Then as the people who stuck with it got really good, and after watching them fight each other, everyone else began picking it back up cause they saw that it wasn't broken, they just sucked.

SF4 has a hell of a lot more lopsided match-ups than BB does. KoF12 is only current fighter that can really claim to be balanced.

after playing bb so much, i can't bear to play sf4 anymore. it made me realize how much i actually like the guilty gear engine more than the sf engine. what i love about bb is the fact that skills matter more than tiers, look at bang, i've seen some insane bang players and beat on nu players all the time. not saying sf4 is terribly unbalanced, but the tiers sadly play a big role (sagat, zangief) and it's always the same thing i'm seeing even in the local scene (correct me if i'm wrong there, but i haven't seen marn or kindevu do anything new w/ rufus in a while for example). bb still has window of opportunity for new things to be discovered like guilty gear, new things were always done in every iteration. i honestly don't think there are completely broken characters in bb considering the fact that you can escape from anything they dish out unless you're stupid to not be able to do so (nu's D string, arakune's corner trap, jin's lolinfinite, carl's loop).

I'm with you on this one.

Also, anyone still playing this game? I kinda wanna play against some people on XBL... let me know.

[Oravis]

Wish you guys were playing this on ps3 really. I need more skilled friends to play against. Everyone is playing something else lately >.> Damn batman.

And I agree on the whole sf4 thing. I was really addicted to that game for a good while but I can't bring myself to play it much anymore when bb is right here.
