Uh, the announcement of CS2 is only for the arcade, and just looks to only add the DLC content that we get as a patch instead on our consoles.

Valkenhayn's drive looks cool. He turns into a wolf or something. :D Do you guys still play this? I've been playing daily practicing with my Makoto. My PSR is so-so (142) and I'm getting better. I wanna play some BGers.

Some info regarding gameplay adjustments on the current loketest, courtesy of Dustloop:

Balance Adjustments

Spoiler: show

Ragna:
5D on grounded opponents no longer floats
3C is techable
5B>6A gattling is gone
Inferno Divider no longer has wall bounce
Belial edge doesn't bounce as high any more (can still follow up with a quick 5D)

Jin:
2C>5C gattling added (cannot re-input 2C)
B musou knocks down again

Noel:
2C>5C gattling added (cannot re-input 2C)
j4D is damn fast. As if you can't see her falling from the air.
5D reduced invincibility frames

Rachel:
Overall damage increased
5B>2B gattling added
6A activation speed increased
6B on counter slides
6B jump cancel possible on block
2C hit stop increased
5C>C now slides. Mid screen C lobelia>3D> Sword iris/BBL combos. In corner 5C>C>3C can be done for 2 loops.
j2C can be canceled into attacks on landing
Lobeilas come out even when hit
George has been changed (there's a frog gauge now)
Tempest dahlia? what the heck is that? [i think he means it's been removed]

Tager:
Nothing known.
something about his collider mechanics being revised

Taokaka:
new jB, cat motion 2's animation for 2 hits
old jB is now j2B
taunt loop's been nerfed bad. it's now a joke.
drives are more stiff(?), increased hit stop.
health increase [i think.]

Arakune:
overall damage decreased
guarded drive moves give less curse meter

Litchi:
more gattlings without staff
6A with staff must be RC otherwise no followups available
4D slides. follow up possible in corner
6D's level(?) decreased. [maybe priority?]
jC without staff is now techable

Bang:
5B slower start up
2B slower start up
2B>5B gattling added. (cannot reinput 2B)
heavenly phoenix thrust no longer wall bounces for both air and ground
3C is techable
ashura slower start up, no more invincibility frames, has become a joke DD

Carl:
2B>5B gattling added cannot re-input 2B)
ada's gauge recovers slower

hakumen:
jD cannot be followed up
5D increased damage
[something about his yukikaze.]
other than that don't know much

Lambda:
5DD activation slowed
blade summonings are slower

Tsubaki:
5D instantly gives 1 stock, but holding down D gives a slightly slower charge speed
2D starts out slow but the charge speed rapidly increases. Also more stiff now.
jD charge speed increased
5B more strong
2BB>5BB gattlings added (Cannot re-input 2BB)
236A start up time increased, if comboed into cannot be follow up [i think.]
214A, B doesn't float opponent even when done by itself
623A on counter hit, untechable time decreased so cannot follow up
cannot cancel into any move from throw, throw slides. mid screen do 236D to follow up, in corner can follow up with normal combos.
after air throw timing for follow up attacks more strict

Hazama:
Ouroboros start up and move speed slowed (although it really feel like there's no difference)
Ouroboros gauge takes longer to recover
5B level reduced. If 5B>3C is not inputted with the fastest timing it won't combo.

Makoto:
parry cancel gone
5B faster start-up, can jump cancel even on block.

Valkenhayn:
cannot block or crouch in wolf form. cannot switch directions.

Valk info:

Spoiler: show

Tao's changes.......taunt loop I can understand as it's fucking OP if you have it mastered, but cripes, adjusting Cat Spirit 2 again? I'll be enjoying Ragna's nerfs though on her.

A lot of these changes are going to fuck up Challenge Mode if they're kept in the final test build before it hits consoles, unless they add in more (or replace existing ones) for whatever version number they'll be using for the patch is. I wouldn't mind if they added more outside of DLC characters, it's fucking hard to complete the 100 needed for the achievement/trophy as is.

At any rate, some people been saying Valk is expected for the 21st of this month, and Plat for next month. Valk I'm buying for sure, Plat I'm not really keen on, but I probably will just for the sake of having the full roster.

And I really need to get off my ass and order some replacement parts for my stick. I cannot for the life of me do QCF x2 motions reliably without having to actually 'focus' on doing the motion, if that makes any sense.

**Rubedoe** · 2010-09-09 16:27

ragnas 5b-6a gattling better be put back in before the bbcs2 thats just a bullshit nerf

**Xno Kappa** · 2010-09-09 17:00

Now I remember why I rage with Aksys games, hopefully they provide an upgrade option for CS console players.

**Kaisha** · 2010-09-09 17:34

It'll be a patch for console users. BBCS2 is just for arcade units since I don't believe they have a proper patching mechanism.

**Insanecyclone** · 2010-09-09 20:04

Oh boy here we go

**Deathbringer** · 2010-09-10 08:42

Fucking cat rockets, how do they work?

and ragna's "balance" makes me

**Merovingian** · 2010-09-10 12:01

what more can they do to nerf Tager? and lol at arakune dmg nerf

**Kaisha** · 2010-09-20 20:39

Valkenhayn tonight for PS3 owners. 360 DLC got delayed due to a glitch in the patch apparently.

Patch info according to dust loop:

Spoiler: show

Game remembering your last chosen character between rounds is going to mess me up for a bit.

[EDIT] Looks like PS3 Valk got delayed also without a mention of it anywhere, for North Americans at least. The Japs online seem to have fun boasting about it with their "Valk - JP onry" rooms.

**Deathbringer** · 2010-09-22 12:22

Damn u JPs!

**Kaisha** · 2010-09-22 17:45

Huh, didn't know JPs had the English actors also. Badass looking Astral, least they're giving you some cool looking shit given the steep price tag of the DLC characters.

**Insanecyclone** · 2010-09-28 23:10

Out on psn/360

**Kaisha** · 2010-09-29 03:36

Badass little fucker. Having a rough time learning him though since I normally don't play characters who dash-hop, seems like you rely on his wolf form to get around more quickly.

I doubt I'd be able to do challenges 8 through 10 on him though, timing is a bit weird, a lot of staggering input with him.

EDIT: Oh, didn't realize there was a new command for youtube vids now.

**Oravis** · 2010-09-30 19:52

Anyone want to have a few matches right now?

**Kaisha** · 2010-09-30 19:53

Loggin' on.

[EDIT] God, I can't escape a grab for the life of me today. I also have to say I didn't realize how much of a guessing game a Tager mirror match is, lol.

**Merovingian** · 2010-10-01 13:54

great games btw, 1month of no BB made me sloppy. I would like to use valken more now and challenge 7-10 are horrible dunno how ppl can pull that off especially 10.

**Kaisha** · 2010-10-01 14:21

7 is fairly easy to pull off aside from getting the timing nailed on the 3x j.5A on the wolf form. The rest I can't do because you have to piano the damn mid-air form changes to link the next hit.

I really need to work on my Tao though. I tend to stick to 1-2 air combos because the rest involve cancelling out of her drive right as you hit the opponent, which I can do fine offline, but online.....it's just a guessing game as to whether or not I'm going to bounce back or cancel out.

**Oravis** · 2010-10-01 17:12

Bad thing about me using a dpad when playing that much is my thumbs are in so much damn pain lol Towards the end I was hoping you'd want to end it lol
Really good matches though. I took a long break from BB and only really started playing again this week so I'm trying to practice with ragna alot more again. As things are now I probably couldn't even put a dent in my friend kviper's litchi. I wanted to practice a new combo I learned during those matches last night but when I fight people as skilled as you two its hard to focus on doing that lol Kaisha, I think your tao is like the only one I've fought online in CS. And I still can't beat Mero's Tager...

**Kaisha** · 2010-10-01 17:51

You could use some new combos. I'm pretty sure you use that one combo that starts with you interrupting a string-block with your sliding kick about as often as I launch and air-juggle, heh. Ragna is pretty limited though on combos in general no? He only has a couple 3000-4000 dmg combos last I looked, the 4k one involving the double belial edge, which is getting nerfed at any rate come the balance update.

As for Taos, I've no idea why she's rare online. I've yet to come across one via ranked match in CS, and for CT, they were all laughable except for one PSN user whose name started with Tuna, and he was owning the fucking lobby I was in. I could barely scratch him, fucker knew exactly what he was doing to confuse your input.
