BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

[Rubedoe]

Hi, I'm Zero-requiem- on psn would like to play some people from here. I play ragna, a shitty nu, and ice car jin add me if you wana play some games.

[Ramor]

awesome vids nitsuki, thanks for the heads up

hakumen looks like a lot more fun now, although he seems to have a playstyle a lot more similar to SF4 than anyone else in BB, just sort of a poke game with a few opportunistic big damage combos, or at least that's how kaqn plays him

also, fuck kaqn and how many characters he's beastly with.

[Correction]

Tell me that's not the only way to play Hazama. I fucking hate turtle characters.

[Ramor]

yeah, anything you have to spend the entire round chasing around the map is just poor character design imo, i'm not saying everyone should be tao-like melee but the whole fucking round shouldn't be playing keep away (which they fixed with lambda)

[Nitsuki]

i highly doubt he's completely like that, he can't do many combos unless extremely close range.

Anyone know if this Hori joystick is worth a grab? The price is right and it's got free shipping, but it's not exactly their newest line of sticks - http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000...pf_rd_i=915398

It's ok, had to use it multiple times at Evo (fucking PS3 only..) The non TE Mad Catz stick is on sale for 43.99 USD for PS3 on Amazon (49.99 for 360). I think I would prefer that over this Hori.

[Kaisha]

Damn, they're non-existent on the Canadian side of the site, and I'm not exactly one to pay shipping on an item of that size for across the border.

[Nitsuki]

just pay for the shipping, the SE stick is worth it if you're planning on getting the replacement sanwa parts for it. it's a super easy mod.

I've heard that because the stick has a square instead of hexagonal or octagonal shape it's sometimes sticks to a corner and motions don't always register or makes it harder from some motions to be completed. But I'm sure once you get the hang of it you'd still be able to make it work. Again thats just stuff i've heard, nothing first hand.

All jp sticks by default are square-gates, unless you get the octagonal-gate attachment for sanwas or seimitsu sticks. It's really a matter of getting used to, but in all honesty, it's best to get used to the square gate, it's 8-way either way, and even if you need to borrow a stick from someone, chances are it's a square-gate.

[Nitsuki]

here we go, here we go...

some rachel(sadface) moments and arakune and.....

DORA BEASTING IT W/ BANG!!

[Correction]

It's a damn shame that for as fun as Taokaka looks to play now with the rebalancing, she still does about as much damage as a blade of grass compared to buffed up characters.

And WTF@the 'rebalanced' Arakune. That shit is sick against anyone without a way to hit him from really far away to clear his clouds.

Also still waiting for Hazama to not suck

[Kaisha]

This is how I feel about Score Attack currently.

Got Ragna down to a sliver of health twice today, and both times he managed to get me from half health with that handicap inplace.


Argh, so close to my platinum trophy......., anyways, quick story q:

Spoiler: show

Terumi = Hazama, or was Terumi just impersonating Hazama for that one story segment with Noel? Ending left me confused with regards to what Hazama is really up to and wtf Rachel was doing in that animated sequence, but I guess CS is supposed to fill that gap.

[Ragnus]

Spoiler: show

I think it was implied a couple times in the story mode that Kagutsuchi gets destroyed by something or something causes the time warp. I think the loop broken when Rachel stops the blast since the Black Beast is not ressurected this time.

I have my arcade stick on the way now but Jesus Christ I need to learn how to defend. I tried Score Attack and got destroyed in the first match two rounds to nothing.

[Nitsuki]

I still have yet to do it cuz of unlimited ragna, but if you want to "lolnoskillluckout" score attack, just use jin and ice car everyone to death. lol

yea rebalanced arakune is still good, i don't know about god tier tho, i'm sure people will definitely find ways around him, as i'm seeing already, people are full blocking his curse mode and go back to taking down.

[Ragnus]

I'm probably going to try and get better before resorting to the easier way. I used 30s, 1 round matches + Sword Flail Jin to beat arcade mode for the Dante achievement and I'm really not proud of it.

Spoiler: show

As far as I could tell, the blast either occured due to Nu pulling Ragna in and merging forms with him or something, or due to to Kokonoe doing something when she captured Hakumen, since she got all sobby on Tager near the end of his storyline.

And I have been using Ice Car Jin to try and beat it, lol. Recently found out about that cheap-ass AI exploit that locks Ragna in the corner, problem is that it's hard to get him locked into it to begin with.

[Moridam]

no shame in falling back on jin-spam to clear SA, it's just as cheap in its own right once you get to the last round, haha. i didn't know about the corner lock thing, just eventually got lucky a couple of times trying to to beat this for mine+my brother's trophy.

best thing to do, open every match with 623A (or was it B?), he'll run straight into it 9 times out of 10. after that just keep your distance, spam projectiles across the screen, and watch his heat gauge. he usually spends it pretty quick once its over 50%. if he's midscreen at this point just block low and get ready to punish carnage scissors (can risk doing a throw > icecar > throw style loop here, almost never escapes for whatever reason) if he's in close range be prepared to quickly jump back to escape black onslaught.

[Ragnus]

Alright. I guess I'll just try my crappy Ice Car combo to beat it then without worrying too much about it.
