Man, /v/ wasn't kidding that BB threads don't get shit rolling until late night.

Fuck it, I'll image bump until a bro has the pictures I would like to have.

Appreciation in advance.

This threads generally die unless you post porn/image dump.

Because we all know /v/ doesn't actually discuss video games.

I'll help you bump!

But of course, I'll keep it worksafe!

>>43672864

That only pertains to daytime, these threads usually get momentum because all the neckbeard basement dwellers wake up after playing all night to get games rolling.

Sometimes I wish I could just drop out of college, get some retailer job, and game every fucking day.

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

So yeah, Hazama is looking better. From what I'm hearing, he's one of those characters that suck unless you learn to use them with max efficiency. Basically there's no room for screw-ups when you play.

Hopefully that means he won't be as overused online.

Hey Clovis, up for a few matches?

>>43673045
>Sometimes I wish I could just drop out of college, get some retailer job, and game every fucking day.
That's dangerous talk, son. But it would be nice...

>>43673060

Same could be said for Carl, no? That fucker has quite the learning curve in my opinion.

>>43673045
Continuum Shift fanart already?

>>43673147
Sadly, no; I got an extra half hour because I finished a test early (my first final of the semester, done!), but I have another class in just about an hour, so I can't drive home to play.

That said, I'll probably have time tomorrow if I can finish this stupid film paper early, and I'll for sure be on over the weekend.

>>43673157

Yeah, just got to endure two more years, find a decent job, and I'm set for life.

>>43673231

Kind of, I don't see many Tsubaki fanart.

>>43673060

God the new announcer is unbearable, please tell me there's a way to turn it off without turning off the other voices

>>43673231
Hohohoho baby, you haven't seen all the Hazama art?

Is everyone still bitching about Tao taunt loop?

>>43673378

I didn't check the video until you brought it up, BUT HOLY MOTHER FUCKER, WHAT IS UP WITH THE VOICE ACTRESS.

I WANT MY DELICIOUS ASSHUN BACK.

>>43673263
Sweet, friday is my last day at my job, and then I have about a week of free time before I move. I haven't played with /v/ for a while, random ranked matches just aren't as fun

Haven't seen a BB thread in a while. Then again, I haven't really been able to play much lately.

But yeah, pretty excited for CS. Hearing that Rachel has been crippled so much feels pretty bad though. I'll probably still use her, she's definitely one of my favorites in the game both character and gameplay wise.

>>43673060

That's what I'm hoping too. I don't plan to make him a main, but I'll most likely keep him as a back-up, just to mix it up a little.

>>43673378
actually, I've watched every recorded match that came out of japan. At first I couldn't stand the announcer, but now, I guess I got used to it. It's really a lot less grating than it was 2 weeks ago that's for sure. Seems a lot more natural.

>>43672531

Time to filter casual shit and play hardcore Third Strike & Guilty Gear.

>>43673502

To be honest, I prefer playing weak ass characters.

Now I want her to be either my main/sub when CS is out.

>>43673378
Rumor is that it'll be rerecorded for english release; at least, that's the buzz on dustloop.

>>43673487
Yeah, I can't play ranked anymore.

>>43673502
Just gotta wait and see; remember, the game is brand new still. I'm sure Rachel will find her way.

Fuck, now Find Your Way from FFVIII is stuck in my head.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up3_tN-1NrM&feature=related

Holy fucking rape Batman.

Berial Edge looks sweet.

>>43673502
I havent seen a recent CS tier list but someone told me Ragna is in the high tier now? And Hakumen got buffed too?
After playing Final Fantasy XI for so long, it feels weird having the things I play actually get improved over time instead of just shat on. I think I like it.

>>43673732
Has Ragna always popped his collar before a match? Never really noticed, but that's FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS of him to do so.

>>43673582
>>43673649

Yeah, gotta keep that in mind.I don't really care about tiers that much, and It will be fun to relearn using her.

>>43673378
>>43673466
>>43673545

I...I like the new announcer. The previous one sounded like a robot and didn't do much to get me pumped up for the match. The loud, peppy, and slightly obnoxious announcers always sound better to me.

>>43673847

Only against Nu and Jin.

>>43673795

Yes, the image I'm in search for that also has a panel of Rachel fainting shows that Hakumen is getting buffed.

The first one shows Hakumen cooking humming, "On my way to the top."

>>43673795
Sadly, I don't have a tier list handy...from what I've heard, though, Litchi is at the top in terms of favorable match ups.

>>43673795
>>43673990

Bang, Ragna, and Litchi are the top three as it stands right now.

>>43673732
Fuck yes, Berial Edge.
My only concern with it is the number of hits it has, but it doesn't look like the kind of move you combo out of, so it probably won't be so bad.

I'm losing hope here bros, I'm shocked no one has either of the pics I'm searching for.

Damn it.

>>43674083
>Bang
>top tier

Hoooo boy, /v/ rooms are going to be hilarious when CS drops.

fucking tier lists... just play as who you enjoy

not like anyone on /v/ is PRO or anything

>>43674176
I'm sorry; I really wish I could help.

>>43674116

Its main purpose is supposed to be as a combo ender from what I see.

Also works for getting you back on the ground quickly to get the jump on your opponent or follow up with another combo.

>>43674202
aren't /v/ rooms already hilarious?

>>43674244
Actually, XDest is the number one Taokaka on Live. He's pretty amazing to watch in action.

How did Tager change in Continuum Shift? He's my main right now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4jkTeyzcxY&feature=related

Bang taunts after his new Distortion.

DISTORTION OF THE YEAR, ALL YEARS

>>43674083
Hakumen was up there last I heard.

>>43674280
Yeah, but /v/ has really diversified lately; it's not just Bang and Tager anymore. When CS drops, get ready for a sea of Bang and Hazama for 2 weeks straight.

Hazama is going to be the new Tao, where everyone on /v/ mains them right away, then moves on before the month is done.

>>43674320

Replying because I know XDest from DOAcentral.


Pretty cool guy, never knew he played Blazblue.

Failed at VF though.

>>43674280

When every match Isn't a Bang/Tager/Hakumen mirror, sure. We usually get a lot more variety now. The only characters I still really don't see are Litchi and Carl.

>>43674344

Not as bad as he was in CT. A lot more options for magnetizing now and he was generally buffed overall.

I've been seeing a lot of Tao in the vids in youtube doing stuff I can never do online. ;_;

>>43674450

>Hazama is going to be the new Tao

Tao was never that popular in most /v/ rooms. It has geenrally always been Bang, Tager, and Hakumen.

Outside of /v/ rooms though, yeah. She was one of the most used characters when the game first came out. Now I barely see any.

>>43674600
Really? Back when the game dropped on consoles, I was constantly fighting Taokaka.

Maybe I was just in weird rooms...

>>43674437

He's in A Tier, but the three I just mentioned are the only ones in S Tier.

>>43674437

Yes he is. Last I checked he's A tier now.

>>43674600

I still see a lot of Taokaka players, but holy mother fucker if I have to see another Jin one more time.

>>43674244
Wish people would just play as who they like, one my friends mains bang and he's going to drop him and switch to some else because he's high tier now. Then I'm going to have to hear him bitch how the person he plays is to weak -_-

Well, she isn't great (or I just never met any good Tao players online).

And Noel wasn't great to begin with but I'll stick with her in CS. I'm interested in Tsubaki or Hazama as a decent second though (never did manage to spend enough time getting decent with anyone apart from Noel in CT).

>>43674675
Hahahaha, I still remember your reaction (at least, I think it was you) when the Jin player started flowcharting in my room that one time; you were livid.

>>43674675

>Ranked Match
>Opponent's D-Card
>Main: Noel
>Sub: Hakumen
>Match starts
>JIN KISARAGI
>BLACK OUTFIT
>JAPANESE VOICE

IF I SEE THAT JIN ONE MORE TIME

>>43674685
Eh, what can you do. It happens in every fighing game, I imagine.

I'll be sticking with my adorable little No Face, though.

>>43674862

THAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME.
Except it was like this

>MAIN: RACHEL
>SUB: RAGNA

>BLACK JIN JAPANESE VOICE

Hows arakune in CS? I usually stick to normals instead of bugs in my online matches.

>>43674862
It's like you're really watching my ranked match experience!

>>43672531

This?

I should be getting back on BB. Most likely this weekend after I fix my hard drive.

>>43674792

Nah, I play on the PS3, never met you other than that one Dead Space thread.

>>43674862

Thank goodness faggots like those suck ass, you can just punish the shit out of them with 320. I encountered a guy who mained Noel subbed Ragna and he fights me with a Nu. Fortunately, he didn't know how to exploit long range Sledges so I couldn't help, but simply message him, "Piss off."

>>43674958

Curse Isn't as annoying/spammable anymore.

It's on a timer now and goes away after a while, even if he doesn't get hit.

>>43674947
So why do all black Jins have a jp voice(haven't played online much)

>>43674685

Happens all the time. I'm sticking with Hakumen forever though. I've been playing him forever, and people will say I suck, but I'm going to stick with him until I get good at using him dammit.

>>43675034
Hahaha, must have been some other guy raging then.

>>43675000

Holy shit, thank you kind friend, my day is now fucking set.

>>43675055

They think the Japanese voice will make them better at the game. Except they usually just Ice Car all day.

>>43673502

I thought you mained Ragna? Fuck, I've seen you use Bang and Noel too.

>>43674862

EVERY SINGLE TIME

>>43675055

Because weaboos....

SUCCUMB TAKE THIS! SUCCUMB TAKE THIS!
SUCCUMB TAKE THIS! SUCCUMB TAKE THIS!

>>43672531

This one?

>>43675055

Maggots all think alike.

There an XBL thread going on?
Also, i have been listening to The Shadow, Los Straightjackets and The Mono Men all day. I want Daisuke to get into Surf Rock.

>>43675201
Zombolt is incredibly fluent with any of the BB characters; I've seen him use at least 5, and he's done well with all of them. Absolutely awesome to fight against :3

>>43675269

Indescribable happiness, cheers bros, fucking cheers.

>>43675269
>roasting George
>the names on the ingredients

Hahahaha, oh wow; that's awesome.

>>43675148

No problem, almost feel bad for the Rachel players if it's really as bad as they say it is. Doesn't matter to me, stickin' with Tao.

>>43675495
I just can't imagine her being absolute shit.

I mean, didn't Heartnana or something do an interview about Noel and Rachel, saying that it was being blown out of proportion?

>>43675478

Wow, I never noticed he was cooking George.

>>43675618
He basically said "Yeah my main (Noel) is worse but there's a lot less bullshit going on and it's overall more balanced.

>>43675201

I don't really have a "solid" main, although I sometimes use some characters more than others. It's just a way to keep myself interested in the game. Instead of just devoting all my time to mastering a single character, and I try to get decent with a wide variety.

Also helps to keep things interesting in game rooms since I can pull out a different character for any given situation.

>>43675000
>>43675269

feels bad man

Rachel was fucking terrible at the beginning of the tests, she's apparently still pretty decent at the release.

>>43675727
>>43675478

Hes flipping george, there is a bee on the cutting board all cut into pieces, and the ingredients are move names.

Shit is hilarious.

>>43675618

No clue, I've been too busy following changes on Tao, Tager and Bang. I should check that out though, got a Noel friend who'll flip if she's changed too much or something.

>>43675732
And I guess Arakune being a bit lower couldn't hurt, either; I may not have been very good with him, but I could imagine the rage people felt when fighting a decent one.

What's this? A thread striving before 2 AM EST?

>>43675809
Not to mention Litchi and Bang waiting to be served.

Shit like this makes me wish I could draw.

>>43674344
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StjZ1947rBU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyREvcQxngM&feature=related

It's so heartbreaking to see Tager lose.

He tries so hard.

I do feel bad for all the Rachel opponents I've come across that didn't spam lightning and George like a pretentious faggot.

Fucking retards cheesing the players without efficiently using their characters is bogus.

>>43674083

>Litchi

>top three

FUCK YEAH

>>43675846
>Tager's new GETB theme.avi

>>43674344

Hes got some bullshit lift a nigger of the ground move like Ragna's 22c now.

Moves Tager into CHEATING tier.

>>43675968

>spam lightning and George

You can spam those?

They both seem incredibly punishable unless combo'd into.

>>43676047
>IT'S NOT OVER YET nerfed from 800 damage to 400
Feels Bad Man

As soon as CS hits, yeah, everyone is gonna be trying out Hazama. I won't mind this, as his theme is fucking awesome.

But I resolve to separate myself from the pack and become the best Hazama on /v/.

COUNT ON IT.

>>43676054
Knew someone who used to do nothing but use wind to run away throw rods at you and use George. He didn't win once with Rachel tho, but there are people who play like that

Final boss should be Bang vs Tsubaki, with this song playing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuhUzh2LPZ8&feature=related

I mean, Bang vs Tsubaki matches are hella fun to watch.

>>43675946
Oh fuck me, DAT 720 BUFFER

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StjZ1947rBU#t=3m45s

Hey guys, would it be worth it to buy the first BB now or should I just wait for CS to hit the console market?

>>43676208
Lol no me
Also, his command grab is so badass.
GONNA SHANK YOU HOMEZ

>>43675954

I wouldn't be surprised if that's Mike Z and that one faggot Nu player that won the finals in EVO '09.

On a different note, I always thought Jin looked pretty cool to play as, but I hate actually using him. It's fun to watch a good Jin in motion though.

One of these days I might just have to sit myself down and learn him.

>>43676208
His theme IS awesome

Do we have any idea when a soundtrack is going to be released, or even ripped? I haven't even heard Tsubaki's music...

>But I resolve to separate myself from the pack and become the best Hazama on /v/.

Hahahaha, well, you're pretty darn good from what I recall, so I have faith in you!

Now with Bang in the Top tier I wonder how many bandwagons Bangs are going to appear

Apparently, there's a Ragna vs. Hazama theme called Nightmare Fiction, but no Rachel vs. Hazama.
Gay

>>43676362
Most likely the Rachelfags and the V13 assholes are gonna pile up because DURR HURR HE'S GOOD NOW.

>>43675946
>2:19

HNNNGGGGGHHHH

>>43675954
I find it hilarious.

>>43676290
If you can find BB for 40 bucks or under, go for it; CS is still a while away, and CT will be a great experience. Plus, /v/ has a fantastic BB community, so they'll be games nearly every day until CS drops.

>>43675269
>Arakune nerfs
>Arakune is still high up on tier charts, even with FEVER system.

On another note, anyone know of any US arcades that have the Japanese version of CS yet?

>>43676422
There's a Ragna vs Hazama theme?
Well, that means Ragna won't be the dude to beat the final boss.

>>43675943
Here, have a HQ one.

Any word on a PC date?

>>43676462

Well, even if I find it I probably won't be able to play online due to third world bullshit. Hell, the PSN service doesn't even cover my country.

>>43673060
I'm liking how Hazama uses those drills. Very interesting. I'm definitely at least trying him out, and he'll probably become my Sub. I am a tad dissapointed, because I was expecting him to play like Johnny from Guilty Gear, but oh well.

An Tager videos out there, by any chance?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SizNUdsfP64&feature=related

Heres a vid where Haz doesn't get assraped.

He really has got some classy shit. Oro straight down on an opponent who is in the corner, into a throw? Fuck yeah nigger.

>>43676322
>>43676208
>>43676292

He does look incredibly badass.
Tsubaki looks kind of fun too, but I don't see myself using her that much. Then again, you never know.

Also, is anyone still hoping that the console release will get at least one more new character? Having Jubei in would make my entire year.

>>43676432

Which is really sad, I mained Bang since my first day playing BB and now I'll have to see a sea of horrible Bangs

>>43676047
>Moves Tager into CHEATING tier.

Not really, it's not that amazing. Ragna can combo as his,Tager's just resets them.

Most characters can just DP right through anything you'll do, though if you can predict it you can block and punish I guess.

I wanna try Hazama out,he looks like he would be fun to play as, may use him as my sub, but I think I'll probably stick to Hakumen as my main

Oh look, another fighting game thread full of faggots patting themselves on the back for using low tier characters.

>>43676562

I....WANT TO BELIEVE

>>43676712

Also,

>>43676709
>Oh look, another fighting game thread full of faggots patting themselves on the back for using low tier characters.

You prefer people that play high tier chars patting themselves on the back?

I think I might pick up Tsubaki when CS drops. She seems kinda interesting.

I want to see how Tager works differently in Continuum Shift; the only reason I stopped playing BlazBlue in the first place is because of ranked match D-card counter-picking.

Occasionally I'd pick Nu just to fuck with people (My D-card was Tager/Arakune) but that would just happen to be the rare occasion where somebody would want a Tager mirror match and I'd end looking like an asshole. Then, when I just picked Tager like usual I'd be matched up against a Nu. Nobody wins.

>>43676533

What country would that be?

>>43676769

I would've actually set up a room if I knew where my crap was. That and having to use the 360 controller...goddamn.

>>43673060
>Tao getting blasted out of her distortion

>>43676769

Hmmmm....

>Play BlazBlue
>Play Ass is Red 2
>Finish up some work

Decisions, decisions....

I'm seeing a whole lot of time outs in CS matches.

>>43676919
>I want to see how Tager works differently in Continuum Shift; the only reason I stopped playing BlazBlue in the first place is because of ranked match D-card counter-picking.

Smaller, all moves are faster, Collider has head invincibility, magnetism is stronger (but lasts shorter), 360A deals more damage, extended and better combos, etc.

>>43677023
I'd start one up, but no one ever goes into my rooms apparently.

>>43676978

Venezuela.

>>43677028

That's the most hilarious thing ever. Especially that one pounce Distortion, because It's INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS when someone is about to use it most of the time.

>Opponent starts backing up
>DISTORTION FLASH
>INFERNO DIVIDAH right to face as she comes flying at you

feels good man.

>>43677209

That would be because the new guard system is awful, and a lot of characters damage output sucks.

>>43677315
As an Arakune player, it makes me grin like a maniac when Tao jumps onto a bellbug or a cloud.

>>43675269

I noticed late what was Hakumen flipping in his pan

God I lol'd HARD

>>43676866
I played Order Sol as a sub in GG so another power charging character might be fun to use. She has some cool looking moves, especially her shield charge and Cape attacks

>>43677337

Agreed. CT was heavily focused on being offensive at all times. Now with damage nerfed and the new guard system, people survive a whole lot longer than they would have, that is unless they're playing against Hakumen.

I think they overcorrected. If there is a third game, it will hopefully be the perfect balance of CT and CS.

stop image dumping, its thread suicide

>>43677315
>>43677405

I've had a Tao jump right into Rachel's AH before.

It was glorious.

>>43677337
So a system where a couple characters (Ragna, Jin, Lambda) can excel at guard breaking whereas the others prefer to mixup is worse than a system where at high level play they happen every match and break the game?

>>43677529
That's not really true either. Ragna/Rachel matches with Kaqn and Shadow were basically BLOCKSTRINGS: THE GAME already.

BlazBlue as a whole is pretty turtley considering how ridiculously laughably slow throws and overheads are, and matches took a fucking long time without making them even more so.

>>43673060
Is it me or do I hear a moan from the announcer at 1:24-1:25 after she says COUNTER.

>>43677663

Where did you get the idea that Lamba excels at guard breaking? She's actually pretty horrible at it. Her best way to score damage on someone downbacking it up is still TK Crescent Saber/Cancel.

Likewise, Jin isn't good at breaking either.

So far Carl and Litchi seem to be about the only characters that guard break often, that could change though.

And Calamity Trigger would have had a much better guard system had it not been for the shared libra thing, which made it so it was impossible for some characters to push it back. As it is, they are both bad. I just prefer Triggers.

cmon i want at least a couple matches

>>43677894
Can't wait for my DEAD SPIKE to be useful.

>02. "Gale" (Tsuyoshi Koyama) - Bang Shishigami Character Song

God damn it I'm laughing and I haven't even heard the song yet.

Jin has the best set of moves in the game. Options for every situation, tons of jump cancelable moves, a million gatlings and so many ways to pressure the other person it's not even funny.

>>43678842
And now he's like AC Ky
Where he has all that but shitty damage

>>43678908
in other words he's pretty balanced

Hammer of 7hor here, if anyone wants to do some matches shoot me a message on XBL.

I missed most of the thread because I was finishing up some gunpla so I don't know if this has been discussed.

>>43678605
PSN in name field. It'd be nice if I could get an invited.

>>43678908
His damage off his current BnBs is around the high 2000s or low 3000s, which is fine considering how easily he can hit them. With 25 meter it already goes up.

If your talking about shitty damage I'd like to point you in the direction of Rachel, Lamba and Tsubaki.

>>43679090
