Arcana Heart 2 already did that. Blazblue is just copying.

The only reason the fighting genre has stagnated is because developers rerelease the same games endlessly.

>>32427417
Isn't that what they said about Guilty Gear?

>>32428010
Do you think its even possible to do something new and different in the fighting genre without causing a massive rift in the definition of a fighting game?

You saw what happened with Smash Bros. Traditional fighting game fans don't understand it.

Trying to change the genre is like reinventing the wheel: every positive modification has already been made.

>>32427826

Too bad it doesn't have online play

>reinvent
>features characters based of off already existing ones and combat very reminiscent to it's guilty gear cousins

>>32428089
retarded, your analogy makes no sense.

the wheel has been reinvented plenty of times, we don't still use whatever piece of shit rock it was thousands of years ago.

>>32427417
7/10
Would recommend to a friend.

No it won't it just cater's to Hardcore. Smash Bros. reinvented the fighting genre but Nintendo's reinvention apparently sucked.

>>32428174
Didn't stop my point from going through.

>>32427417

It's nothing special.

I can't see why you faggots are all creaming your pants over this.

>>32428185
>friend

lol

Fucking BlazBlue casuals talking about things they don't know. How many of you fags are hyped for BB but know nothing of Guilty Gear?

This game is getting way too overhyped.

It's going to suck for so many people.

>>32428300

I'm fairly certain that everyone hyped for BB has played Guilty Gear and view BB as the natural next step from a franchise that will never see another iteration.

>>32428307
Pretty much like SF4, a lot of people will be selling/returning their games because of unrealistic expectations.

>>32428268

I for one enjoy my animu girls who just happen to fit my fetish, however cliched they are

To each of his own I guess. It's not like I'll feel insulted when a pathetic /v/irgin of all people disagrees with my choice

More fighting games! Need to play more fighters!

Someone explain to me why this game is worth purchasing. I don't find the character design interesting and some of the combos just look flat-out bullshit. The learning curve also seems steep. I'm interested in buying it, though, but most of my friends are getting KOF12. Why would I get BlazBlue?

I'm really looking for a reason to get it.

Smash Bros is NOT a fighting game.

Don't give me your shit. The Two things a fighting game MUST have:

1. 2D
2. Health Bars

>>32428307
BB is overhyped? Are you shitting me

Seeing threads on /v/ doesn't make it overhyped. Having an awful website like dustloop being your current #1 information center is not something an overhyped game would get.

BB is still very much under the radar.

>>32428393
And there are still plenty of people playing SF4. So who cares

Never played Guilty Gear but this game looks pretty cool. I'm definitely gonna get it.

>>32428477
Fuck off and find your own reason for living.

I've been playing Blazblue at ArcadeUFO for months now. The game's great, but it won't be sparking any revolutions or anything.

>>32427826
Also, Arcana Heart is probably one of the more original fighters to come out in a long time.

>>32428477
You should get it if you like Guilty Gear. BlazBlue is basically the 'sequel' to GGXX.

If you love fighting games, you have to get it of course.

How about those Carl/Arakune vs. Carl/Arakune fights? Sounds pretty exciting...

>>32428376
It doesn't seem like that from the way people talk about it. "Holy shit! You can press all buttons and you break the enemy's combo!", "I don't care about GG because it's a button masher.", etc. OP is another example.


>>32428477
Do you like Guilty Gear? It's very similar. If you haven't tried GG, do it, anyway.

>BlazBlue will reinvent the fighting genre that has stagnated for generations

>Blazblue
>reinvent.

>>32428650

Nobody will play Carl online

The way I see it, in terms of how often you'll see them:

Ragna/Jin/Noel - Ryu/Ken/Akuma
v13 - Sagat

COVERED IN BEES would be like, Rog or Rufus, damn good but just not family friendly enough look wise to garner enough casuals' attention

>>32428601
I kinda like Arcana Heart, even if people pass it off because of the characters. I think one of the main reasons I like it so much is because how the arcana changes the way I play the characters

Anyway, back on topic. I'm just happy that I can play another fighter with some people. Awesome year for fighters.

>>32428854

I, for one, will try using Arakune as much as possible.

I think I might make an entire new PSN called The Pain so I can be more in character.

>>32428854
Is Carl that big dude? I wanted to try that guy and Tao, they looked the most fun to me.

>>32429028

Carl's the kid with the top hat.
The big dude is Tager.

>>32429028

Carl is the shota with the robot maid.

A Guilty Gear clone will reinvent the fighting game genre? What, by using the SAME FUCKING MECHANICS FROM ALL 100 GUILTY GEAR VERSIONS THERE ARE OUT THERE?

And Arcana Heart 2 is Arcana Heart 1, so how is that any better?

Now, define "reinventing."

>>32429155

Perhaps "revitalize" would have been a better choice of words.

>>32428657

OP was obviously not serious and baiting for trolls. is your guys' sarcasm detector broken or something?

POST MORE NOEL.

Bushido Blade. Awesome game for awesome people.

fags

>>32429220
It still won't. SFIV and Tekken 6 will do that. Blazblu will only sell to hardcore GG fans. KOF will sell to KOF fans. MvC2 will sell to roughly 500k people, both systems, and offput most of them shortly after they encounter their first tourney/hardcore players.

>>32429361

danbooru

>>32428508
>2D

so youre saying Tekken isnt a fighting game?

>>32429479

Fine jeez

BlazBlue fuck yeah

>>32429459
I don't know shit about Tekken, I just remembered playing it a bit at my local B&J's wholesaler a few times 10 years ago

Is it really that big ? Street Fighter big?

>>32429361
Ok.

>>32429125
>>32429129
Thanks, I'll check all three 'em out when I get a chance.

>>32429510
Yes.

BlazBlue? More like BlazBad.

SPOILER: 80% of the posters in this thread have no intention of playing this game and no interest in it other than fapping to the porn.

HOLY SHIT IT'S LIKE I'M REALLY IN A TOUHOU THREAD

Question, is there a way to use v13 in her non-cyborg form?

Sol Badguy guest character in Blazblue fuck yes please!

>>32429155

AH2 has better music.

Carl, Arakune, and Rachel are fucking stupid characters. I hate stretchy, gooey type characters who can barely hold themselves together, let alone beat people up. There's the little harry potter faggot who controls his puppet with MAGIC to fight for him. And Rachel, with her Studio Ghibli spirited away plush toy buddies and magic powers. Other than these fucking stupid characters, I'm looking forward to the game.

>>32429662
True that.

>>32429459
Speaking of Marvel vs Capcom 2

I cant wait to count how many rage quitters there will be after I stomp the shit out of them with Sentinel and Spam Viper Beams with Cable

Holy shit, a BB thread without Onsokumaru?

Impossible!

>>32429824
We will see, possibly for the first time ever, constant ragequits at the character select screen.

The gallery just screams fanservice.

I thought Carl was a girl...hm.

>>32429551
Yeah. Top 2 most popular fighting game series are Street Fighter and Tekken.

>>32429748

Rachel is love

You mad nigger?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVbgi9opM7M

>>32429974
I would say Soulcalibur is more popular than Tekken, at least for casual players.

cool viral marketing bro

Yeah, I'm mad. Fuck Rachel. Stupid loli piece of shit.

>>32429551
Tekken is huge. Hell, T6BR has been the top game in Japan arcades for a while now.

>>32427417
if it's like guilty gear, then no, no it won't

>>32430181
>Stupid loli piece of shit

:(

You make me frown, but I respect your opinion

>>32430100
Maybe, but I'd still say more people have played Tekken than SC. SC has a much smaller hardcore fanbase than Tekken for certain, though.

BlazBlue will rehash Guilty Gear, which reinvented the fighting genre that had stagnated for generations.

>>32429913
MAGNETO SENTINEL STORM

*unplugs ethernet cable*

>>32428531

lolololololololol

Here, have some Carl.

To the BlazBluefag spamming pics,

Requesting Rachel dump nao, preferably the pic where she's painted almost Elizabethan portrait style.

does anyone have some links to some good match vids?

i watched >>32429988 and it just looks like a bunch of retardedly long combos and jugglefests. might be more of a jugglefest than even tekken, but i wanna see how it actually plays.

>>32430369
This is the only one I like

>>32430185

The most recent arcade stats:

1. Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion
2. Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam VS Gundam NEXT
3. Blazblue
4. Melty Blood: Actress Again
5. Sugoi! Arcana Heart 2: Tenkousei Akane to Nazuna
6. Guilty Gear XX Accent Core
7. Street Fighter IV
8. Virtua Fighter 5R
9. Dondonpachi Daifukattsu
10. Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike

lol'ing at "same mechanics"

clearly very few people here have actually played blazblue

Doesn't this game only have like 12 fucking characters? Who wants to play a fighting game with only 12 fucking characters.

>>32430577

It's a combo video what do you expect...

Check GameTrailers for the "Best Match" videos in HD

China vs v13 is a decent one

>>32429557
Goddamn westerners who spell japanese names with "RU"s instead of "L"s make me sick. It's fucking obvious that the creators and writers are spelling it with an "L" (Light, L, and in this case Noel), but the faggots keep putting "RU"s because there is no L in the Japanese language (Raito, Eru, Noeru) Gah so fucking stupid.

In any case. I'm looking forward to this game because the SFIV guys are way ahead of my league, and I found out my aggressive play is no good in SF, especially for Guile. Oh wells maybe I'll retry SFIV when I get a proper stick.

OP this is the 2nd time you've made a BB thread saying shit like that. Quit it. You'll make /v/ hate Blazblue more than it already does.

>>32430271
At least it will be in high definition.

>>32430683
At least they're fairly different and don't have the problem of "lol shoto clones"

Besides, when's the last time you saw more than 8 different characters in SF4 online session?

Thread needs more Rachel art

>>32430752
Fuck that "hi-def" bullshit.

>>32430683
Garou: Mark of The Wolves and Street Fighter 2 are fucking awesome.

BLAZBLUE WILL GIVE ME MORE NOEL TO FAP TO

THEN I'LL DRAW SOME NORMAL STUFF, BECAUSE I DON'T DO PORN

>>32430824

Both of those are old. At least SF4 has the decency to have over 20 characters.

>>32430733
>/v/

Who the fuck cares

>>32430683
12 NEW characters. Not 20 returning characters with 2 new ones. Back off.

how is blazblue going to reinvent the genre?

only 10 chars, most are rehashes, and the gameplay looks like shit. nice try

there is no redeeming quality to this game

>>32430879
>20

SF4's got two characters: shotodude and chargefag

That's all

I was playing at an arcade today. Some guy was kicking ass with Tager. I was win number 30 for him... :<

>>32430879

Because it's a sequel. BB isn't.

>>32430894
12 new and shitty gg ripoff characters! hurray!

>>32430733

Who are you again lol

And you don't know it's me :3

Here, have some Ragna.

>>32430976
>implying Guitar Gear itself isn't a ripoff

chuckle~

>>32430879
Protip: When SFIV launched in Arcades you could only play 16. And nobody gave a fuck about the 4 new ones. (actually, most still don't aside from US tourneyfags who aren't playing Balrog and people who want to be super hardcore with Viper). Also Vega is useless and E.Honda hasn't been popular for a decade.

>>32430941
the only reason bb isnt a sequel is because arcsys is such a fail company

what a bunch of suckers

>>32430879
Quantity=/= Quality.

I don't even know why I have to explain. A large cast often suffers from clones (shotos from SF, Starfox cast from Smash bros), or they suffer from major imbalances from the top few who can dominate everything, (Magneto, Sentinel, Storm from MvC2, Metaknight from Brawl).

Give me at least 10 distinctly different characters who are decently balanced, then try adding more characters.

>>32430879
There were several SF titles before SF4.

>>32430976
Hurrrrr
Either way. They're new. It's not a copy paste.

>>32431054
you argument would work except the BB chars are not quality at all. each and every one of them is a rehash piece of shit with thrown together designs and thrown together move sets

BlazBlue threads are always a mixed bag on /v/. Half the time they're shit flinging fests like this one, other times they're possibly the most civil threads on /v/.

>>32428854

I plan on playing Carl.
Online

So to anyone that has played BlazBlue arcade, are any of the characters OP or is it pretty balanced? Is the console version going to have tweaks from the arcade version?

Why is Noel so perfect?

>>32430932

New cast, no rehashes, new throw system (all 2D fighters since SF2 give throw invincibility in hit/block stun, BB doesn't), wakeup system like Tekken, another first (FF forces you to stand up, in BB you have complete control)

Throws in particular completely change the game, when you're being comboed instead of just watching it you have to pay close attention to not get thrown into an even worse combo. BB puts more focus on setups and trickery rather than big combos. To compound this, combos are very, very easy and links are scarce.

>>32431048
What...? What would Blazblue be a sequel to?

>>32431083
either way, they are still shitty characters and thats what really matters.

BlazBlue is just another casual weeaboo fighter. Just like GG.

>>32431102
Their designs may not be original relative to other games I agree on that part, but we're also talking about how differently they play from one another in Blaz Blue itself. From the looks of it, each character plays differently from one another, and that kind of diversity is always welcome in a fighting game. Now whether you agree if it's a quality game or not is not for me to judge. In fact I don't care. I'm just looking for balanced fighters to keep me entertained for a while.

>>32429459
If by "revitalize" you mean "be newb friendly piles of shit" then you're right.

>>32431138
The console version is getting a bit of tweaks from the arcade but I heard it's nothing major. It's pretty balanced since everyone has their own little gimmick, like Carl controlling his puppet as he fights. I've heard that Carl has an infinite though.

>>32431177
guilty gear.

>>32431103
I refuse to think of tripfag circlejerks as "civil".

>>32431278
Do you even know why there isn't any more guilty gear, or what the purpose of Blazblue is? Blazblue being a sequel to Guilty Gear would be impossible.

As far as I know it takes place in the same universe though. Or something along those lines.

>>32431274
Like El Fuerte or pre-patch Fei Long, he still sucks anyways. He's too gimmicky of a character to make strong, I reckon.

>>32431103
That's because OP had to go and screw shit up. I think we've only had like 5 good Blazblue threads. Tops.

>>32431305

>Jin.jpg

Clever girl.

>>32431194
>casual weeaboo fighter.
So much butthurt.

Wow with all of this Noel fan art, half of Japan must be maining either her or Rachel.

>>32431403
But you are the OP

>>32431281
It's mostly anon

A couple tripfags do come in and it's annoying if you really cares but they're forgettable

the only reason blazblue isnt called guiltygear is because arcsys is a shitty company with no ideas. all they can do is make the same shit, so they are basically making guiltygear#EX PLUS_reload and giving it a new name so its retard fans will actually think it is a new game

>>32431471
Nah, just the ones that can draw.

>>32431485
I am? Oh shit.

It'll be interesting to see how these threads change once the game is released and everyone realises their complaints about rehashing are completely wrong.

Either /v/irgins will stick to their guns and make fools of themselves or they'll spew worthless crap like "weeaboo" and "casual"

Basically, anime style = shit no matter what.

>>32431539
>I have no idea what I'm talking about.

>>32431354
BlazBlue is the sequel to Guilty Gear because ArcSys doesn't own the rights to any guilty gear characters that actually matter anymore.

>>32431610
anime style=/=shit

blazblue=shit

>>32431593
Once the game comes out, I'm sure it'll gain a lot of fans. Though, it won't change /v/'s annoying attitude towards it.

>>32431610
You're implying any of the trolls will play BlazBlue, or have even played Guilty Gear enough to have any idea what the fuck they're talking about.

>>32430581
Grimmjaw? What are you doing in BB?

>>32431687
It's the successor to Guilty Gear but yes that's right. Some people pray that Blazblue will be a one-shot like Battle Fantasia but I'm positive this is the new big thing.

Once the game comes out, /v/ will just complain about how much they suck at the game

Me included

I'll still play though, probably

Don't care about any of that.

I look forward to fighting my fellow xbros online when it does come out.

I also look forward to fighting with you sonybros as well whenever I go over my friend's house, since he plans to get the PS3 version.

I'll most likely be the only Tager player.

>>32431649
I assume you'll main Noel when this game comes out Onsok?

I'm maining her because of those guns. Her small chest only makes me more determined to main her.

>>32430635
where's Hokuto no Fate on that list ;_;?

as an avid GG player this game looks very disappoint =*(

As much as I'd love to see this game go pro it came out at a bad time. SF4 mechanics are a tad better. Maybe after a few versions when they take out some of the infinites but by than SF4 will have already such a dominate hold on the competitive scene BB will be overshadowed :/

>>32431771
What they need to do is get the fucking rights back, somehow. We were SO CLOSE to having the whole story...

Fuck this shit. I wanted a Wii port.

>ctrl+f
>Halo
>0 results

what the fuck /v/?

>>32431727

Yeah, my bad.

It's not just /v/ though, you see this shit everywhere. Nobody complained about SF4 being a disgusting rehash. Now BB comes along, completely different from GG and it's just REHASH REHASH

between this and KOFXII, i dont think BB would get much playtime so its probably not worth the buy for me

>>32431810
I main Taokaka, Noel and some third person. When at the arcades, I really only try to perfect my Taokaka...cause she is the queen.

I just hope the tweaks won't throw me off too much.

>>32431860
>competitive scene

You care?

>>32431860
You speak as though you enjoy playing with tourneyfags.

....BEGONE.

>>32431913
Where have you been? SFIV threads were nothing but REHASH REHASH REHASH. so many shit threads because of rehash. Plus that vs SF:3S Goddamn those threads were just crap because hardly anyone on /v/ knows what the hell they are talking about.

>>32431921

I usually don't like slow characters/grapplers either, but I was watching some videos of him and he looks NICE. Dude was chaining grabs like no one's fucking business.

And his special skill PULLS the opponent towards him. How can you resist yelling "GET OVER HERE" into the mic before slamming them into the ground?

>>32431945

Competition is where the real fun is. It kinda sucks if no one knows how to play properly.

Are those tier lists floating around (v 13 arak and rachel being top) still the arcade lists or have console lists come out yet?

>>32432001

Really? I was all over those threads on release and it was mostly positive.

Must be the time of day.

>>32431793

Holy shit man, I wish this game had cross platform online. You seem like a fun guy to fight with.

>>32431860
That's not really bad. I really enjoy KOF series even though they don't have a competitive scene.

i looked up some videos and it just looks like a lot of 15sec juggles and screaming...yeah, i wont be getting this game it looks like complete shit. most of the attacks look like they are only one frame and a big flashy graphic to cover up the sloppiness

>>32432075
if itsnot out for consoles how da fuck are there gonna be tier lists

I will ONLY be getting this game if there's an option to turn off the fucking voices. Jesus Christ that shit is annoying. What the fuck was Arc System Works thinking?

You need a lot of good and smart players using all the characters for a tier list. Most video game media are LOL FLAMING SHORYUKEN.

The only thing to reinvent the fighting genre in the last 15 years was Smash Bros. And you fags showed you didn't like change, so now you will enjoy you shit as it stagnates in your mouth.

Once again, depends on definition of fightan'. If 15 years is picked for Virtua Fighter debuting in '93, Virtual On was still less than a decade and a half ago. Not that anyone but some obscenely loyal fans care. A bunch of other games no-one remembers either. (also Power Stone)

In a related note, there are a lulzy amount of players with Onsokumaru names on VOOT 5.66 XBLA.
