Why would anyone care about IGN ratings?

halo

9.4?

It must be shit because it didn't got 10/10.

>>33812478
> didn't got

anon fail

ermm

last thursday.

lol 9.4 is way too high for BlazBlue.

Shits broken and unbalanced.

>>33813314

More like you suck and need to learn2block.

BlazBlue general?

>>33813314
>Shits broken and unbalanced.

Elaborate.

Exactly 9.4?

Not sure, can't remember if it was 9.4 exactly.

>>33813314

>I don't know how to deal with spamming Noels and Jins

IGN gave AC:FA a 7.8
IGN gave God Hand a 3
IGN gave The Darkness a 7.7

Fuck IGN

MGS4 got a 10 from IGN.

>>33813863
The Darkness was a terrible game, bro. Don't confuse story with gameplay. 7+ is too kind.

Exactly 9.4?


.........BlazBlue I guess...


D MASHING NOELs ARE FUCKING AWESOME, all I do is run the fuck away and throw ice at them, free win

BlazBlu has the dumbest storyline ever

>>33813863

7.8 is a better score than 90% of the other reviews AC:FA got

>>33813942

Fuck yes another Jin player, KEEP BEING AWESOME BRO

>>33813999
>Jin
>Awesome

>>33813999

yea, gratz on being the top 3 most played characters.....

the 4th spot is like 1/4 the population of any 1 of them

>>33813613
There are infinites and V can destroy any other character effortlessly.

Bang Bang Bang Bang! The spirit of bang! Let your fighting spirit shine like the bright moon!
Bang Bang Bang Bang! The spirit of bang! Like the fierce flame that can crush mountains!
your belief, your heart, the brightly burning sun, flare them up!
Become a dragon that's faster than light! BURNING BANG!

bang bang bang bang bang bang! bang bang bang bang bang bang! bang bang bang bang bang bang! bang bang bang bang bang bang!

Now your foes are suddenly before your eyes. Can you overcome them with your overwhelming dragon?
Its your chance to raise your guard and fight! I hate people who proclaim their victory so calmly!
What about it!? It's not like you to give up so quickly! My victory will proclaim justice! Quit crying and rise up!
BANG BANG BANG BANG! I am so envious of you! So much that my primal spirit is going to burst!
DAN DAN DAN DAN! YAY! A dynamite spirit! The burning ground shakes!
Not darkness, nor rain, can waver this power that I have! That I have right her in my hands! It will break through the endless darkness! SUPER CRASH!

>>33814102

ok, where can I get this song aside from the few youtube videos I've managed to find. need a download

>>33814102
I've only played a couple of v-13s and they all went down relatively easily.

Noel seems to be the noob-bait in this game. Hint to Noel players: There are more buttons on the controller than just D.

>>33814146
yeah she is bro. Foward D, Foward D, back D, Jump Back D...if they get close run away and repeat...also that floor rolly cutter thingy.

10/10 or gtfo

Also v-13 is a rip off of Anubis.

>>33814212
if you have the collector's edition it's on the OST.
I gotta goldwave it and miccspam TF2 servers with it

>>33814279
>if they get close run away and repeat

Let's see you do that consistently against even half decent players

Does she have advantages? Fuck yes. "Easy" wins? No.

Annoying to fight? Yea, kind of

>>33814396
stop trying to justify playing a shit boss character.

>>33814279
Yeah, that strategy will only get you so far until your opponent figures out how to get around it and you get set up for a long-ass combo.

I myself am terrible with v-13, but that's mostly because I prefer characters that rush that shit down.

Nu's parser move, it says it works after certain hits... does it just work off of Drive moves?

V-13 is really easy to beat. Just make sure you watch out for that ground blade most people throw in and you're fine.

The only who might have trouble with her is Tager, and that's only until he gets the magnets on her. after that you can toss her aroud like a ragdoll.

>>33814443
Stop trying to cover up for your sucking at the game.

> Lame V-13 players are really easy to beat.

Fixed.

She's a top tier character for a reason, but to truly be GOOD with her in high level play takes a lot of patience and practice in knowing how to zone, knowing how to keep an opponent zoned, knowing what to do when that fails, and knowing what tricks work best on specific characters.

You can pick her up and play with her, but you won't be any remotely skilled players by just spamming the swords.

Another game where I was drawn in by the design of a female character but end up playing a male character since the playstyle suited me more....

Fuck

>>33814443

Nope I play a fag character: Jin

v13 is just riding on the low tiers

Any characters in this game that have counter-attacks ? Like, taking a special stance, and being hit at this moment allows to use an auto-attack without losing life ?

I'm a fan of those kind of characters. Pic related.

>>33815305
i THINK Hakumen is like that

Not 100% sure

>>33815305
I'm pretty sure Hakumen has them, although I haven't really played with him to try it out.

Also, Bang's drive has autoblock frames and if you press A, B, or C when he autoblocks he'll teleport and attack. That's similar, I guess.

>>33815305

Haku-Men

His Drive and most of his moves are based entirely on counterattacking.

>>33815305
YUP, just Use D at the right time and height.

>>33815394
>>33815398
>>33815461
>>33815486

Thank you for the quick answers. Don't really dig his look, but I'll guess I'll enjoy him once I get the game.

>>33814353
But nu is so much hotter.

>>33815305

Echoing the sentiment for Haku-men being your character of choice, you press the button for drives timed with an enemy attack, and it will auto counter

Instead of a super bar, he gets orbs (I believe 8?) and his special moves require orbs to use. His highest orb use super increases his attack and makes his specials free for a limited time, so you get the option of stringing together short combo moves in short intervals, or saving up for a huge rush of specials near the end.

Also his C and Drive moves hit like a frickin truck.

>>33815305
for someone who likes counters, i'm surprised you didn't say this.

pic related.

>>33815688
well, it was... TOO EASY

>>33815688
I WILL PAINT MAH HOUZE WID YO BRAHD!!!

>>33815652
He also has a counter drive (notation escapes me at the moment) which is unblockable and travels through the whole screen. Sadly, it doesn't work well on projectiles (jumpable) but time-freezes on melee hits

Also, his Astral Heat is a counter, and it's fucking win.

>>33815688

I usually put a picture of Yamazaki for the "counter character example", since the fucker can also counter projectiles.

But a Geese Howard is fine too.

>>33815776

go away Big Bear, this isn't about you

>>33812294

IGN rates casual shit pretty high,BlazBlue is no different.

>>33815688
PREEDICTABOWL

>>33815825
But you said "auto-attack without losing life". I'm pretty sure Yamazaki still loses life when he's hit during his Sadomaso.

I haven't played Blazblue yet, but I want too REALLY badly. My question is this, the chick with the umbrella, what is her name and is she "good" or "bad" in game-play.

Problem /v/?

>BlazBlue
>Casual

>>33815956
Oh god.

>>33816054
Rachel Alucard, she's top tier bro.

>>33816054
Her name is Rachel and she is Top Tier in this game.

>>33816054
Rachel Alucard, top tier

>>33816054

Rachel is the 2nd best character in the entire game

But she is hard to truly master

>>33816112
>>33816119

Okay, I'm not a big top-tier character kind of person but is she hard to play with?

>>33816191
>>33816192

It can be very fun to set up traps and shit with her, but you really need to do some heavy practice and active learning to get good with her

>>33816054

Rachel Alucard is the name

I'd like to insist that people not use tier lists to decide which character they think they want to play first. Some characters fit some playstyles better

Rachel is a character that is good at setting stage traps, and she has a bit of rushdown with using the wind, but it's mostly smart use of the traps she has

That being said, she's a good character, top 3, I believe.

>>33816192
She's pretty hard to learn, yeah.

>>33816295
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ACTUALLY LIKE A GAME AND WANT PEOPLE TO PLAY IT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN MUCH.

is Tager is different then Potemkin? i really feel tager's style but I hated to play potemkin in GGXX

>>33816232

Oh, trust me, I HATE tier lists. The characters I've gotten good with are usually the "odd-ball" characters in my opinion. In Guilty Gear, I got beastly good with Eddie. In SC3 and SC4, it was Nightmare, I was basically unbeatable with him due to my style of fighting and the other being Voldo. Any characters in Blazblue would you suggest me to try-out first after seeing this?

>>33816444
Arakune and Carl.

>>33816439
As a guy who mained Potemkin in Guilty Gear, I'm just not feeling it with Tager. Maybe I just need to practice on his combos and the timing of his moves (and try to figure out why 360s are harder to pull off in this game than in SFIV), but I can't get the hang of him.

Your mileage, of course, may vary.

>>33816439

Some of his grabs are similar (gigantic Tager is more or less Potemkin Buster) but he feels much different. He seems more obiles because you can use the magnetism to bring your opponents towards you, and a lot of his moves carry him quite a distance (Volt Tackle) so you can get close.

You can also bounch people off walls and chain your throws together like mad. Watching a good Tager play is hilarious. He doesn't pummel people, he tosses them around like a rag doll.

>>33816505

I'm not good with the names of the chacters, give me pictures or something to help me on this please.

Wow, Blazblue sucks really hard, yet it gets a 9.4? THE FUCK!?

>>33816568
Arakune

>>33816621
Carl

>>33816621

AH! When I saw him, I instantly thought Eddie.

Does anyone know what v-13 says during her drive moves? It sounds like "open the rift" and "i'll turn your fate", but I'm not sure.

>>33816648

More information on Carl please?

What i don't get is why didn't they go the Street Fighter route and make 10 shoto clones, BAM no complaints about lack of characters.

>>33816725
Carl is using Nirvana (the puppet girl) as a kind of secondary character (like lil' eddy) to set up loops and corner rapes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2q9nAYXKsO8

Pretty much shows him owning.

>>33816725
He's a vigilante who hangs around with a robot. He thinks the robot is his sister. It isn't.

>>33816444
If you like slow and heavy characters like nightmare, then it's clear, try tager and see if you like him.

>>33816543

That's because Tager isn't that good. He's most certainly no AC Potemkin. AC Potemkin is just ridiculous.

>>33816439

Yes, he doesn't play by the same book as Potemkin. In fact, Potemkin is more gimmicky that Tager now. You have to work pretty hard with him to win, but there are still quite a few Tager players mucking about. Don't feel discouraged.

>>33816232

I think if people get used to Rachel they'll really enjoy her. She's so much fun, even when learning her in the beginning. She's a pain to fight as people can imagine.

I need to get on this now - but I can't. I'll be on the game in a day or two though...no idea what the connection will be like vs Yanks (Britfag here).

>>33816568
HAKUMEN

>>33816680

Unfortunately hes not like Eddie at all. More Zappaish than Eddie. Carl is Eddie in terms of mechanics, but he is less mobile than Eddie was.

>>33816773

TOO MANY SHOTOS WTF

>>33816725

Carl is a batshit insane little shota. He has a robot maid thing he refers to as his sister and talks to it all the time hearing responses only he can hear. The robot is actually a forbidden artifact from a long ass time ago that drives the user insane by warping their deepest desires to consume them. Carl's deepest desire is to murder people, so thats what he does, though he thinks hes doing it for "justice."

I mostly use Jin, Rachel and v-13.

Do you hate me, /v/?

>>33816929

#1 player on PSN is Tager main

500+ games played, 80ish winning percentage

>>33817089
No, because you're probably awful at the game like most of /v/

So what's there to hate

>>33817081
No, it's the robot's desire to murder, and it just warps whatever the 'owner' has

>>33813314
I love how shitty scrubs on /v/ either get their ass beat by people online, or watch a couple youtube videos and call shit "broken" and unbalanced. jesus christ you people are retarded

>>33816444
>In Guilty Gear, I got beastly good with Eddie

Top Tier character there. gg.

>>33817139

That doesn't really say a lot.

>>33817139
Yeah, although there are tiers they seem close enough to not matter much, particularly when playing on PSN. The fact that the "top tier" characters are tough from a execution standpoint should help level the playing field even further.

>>33816568
Jin Kisaragi

>>33816913

Well, with Nightmare, I didn't go slow. I call the style "brawling" Nightmare using more of his quicker physical beat-down moves to start chaining into his slower moves. The reason was to one, quicken his bigger hits, and two, to to keep them from being able to figure me out. my quickest kill against a player was 6 to 7 seconds with Nightmare.

>>33817267
It doesn't

It just means that you can successful at the game if you tried, since that's what most gamers will ever amount to

>>33817435

You could've just linked any info page you jew

When's the last time anyone cared about IGN?

>>33817451
You might try Hakumen. He's a heavy hitter but has more mobility than tager. Also has a sword.

>>33816913
Tager? You nuts, nigga? Slow char with good reach=Hakumen. Hell, he even has some of nighty's moves.

>>33817542

When's the last time humanity agreed on anything?

>>33817508

Or if you're online long enough to batter a load of people new at the game. Not doubting teh Tager player however, as said player could be good, but I'll never know until I play/see a replay. Character has a tough time against everyone but himself!

>>33817508
Mike_Z made it to the finals of Arcade Infinities recent large tourney. He was even up a game to a v-13 player, one of Tager's worst matchups. He's low teir because of some bad matchups but he does have things going for him.

>>33817542
It has 92 on metacritic. Blazblue is getting great reviews all around.

>>33817435
>Jin

>>33817255

Never knew he was supposedly "top-tier" player. Because all the saw was Sol-Badguy players mainly. Also, I tried alot of the other character before starting to get into using them, my second choice was Zappa or the chick with the huge key, but I don't know Guilty Gear top-tiers.

>>33817809
Watch this:

>>33817811
>Mike_Z
Derp.

>>33817809

A lot of Tager's moves have invincibility spots to them or cancel out projectiles...so he's a lot harder to keep away from than people think.

Besides, all other characters, except Haku-men, do PUNY AMERICAN DAMAGE in comparison

Personally I think the magnetism feature that Tager gets is a really good idea when coupled with a grappling character, and he'll move up in public opinion as the game sees more play...

>>33817809
Yeah like how Mike Z made AI's final with Tager and had some very close fights with the Final Nu?

I don't think that Tager player on PSN deliberately re-search his Rank matches unless he sees new players

Tiers really don't matter for these types of online environment. If you're talking about traveling around to tournies and trying to at least cover your damn expenses, then yea I'd argue against the shit tiers.

>>33817852

Mike_Z - yes, he has ample offerings. I approve.

Fuckyear.

>>33817811
I guess I shouldn't have barged in an said that, what I mean is:

Who the fuck cares about reviews? Unless you're wanting the game to be successful which improves the likeliness of a sequel, other than that it's useless garbage.

>>33818008

In saying that, I watched the video.

*dons critic cap*

He capitalizes really well when he needs too and he was doing the right things all the time....the Nu player wasn't learning. Obviously Tager was using his projectile slap whilst the Nu player seemed to want to press D all the time. Not saying he's shit, but he wasn't using other stuff to stop Tager from spamming the slap (3C would've been great, Slow Fields would've been a BIG help).

I did notice Nu's distinct lack of any other button and moves...once Tager got in that was pretty much it - it seemed so easy for him to close in. Lack of Nu's super after D buttons did make me sad :(

Alright match, mainly because of massive damage!

*removes cap*

I would really like to play him sometime though. Might go to America next year...considering it. Failing that I'll try and play him online sometime....I need some (more) vs. Tager EXP.

>>33818270
Good reviews can help make niche games more popular by attracting gamers who normally might not pick the game up. This can lead to better sales which can make it more likely that sequels/similar games will get made and/or localized. For an example see Disgaea.
