The BlazBlue Thread: all the imports!

It's like TvC in the sense of it's control scheme and the basic jumping mechanics, but it is alot faster, and closer to MvC2 in mindset. Really it is actually its own beast.

That was really dumb.

 

[Jam Stunna]

But it happened to Noel so it's okay.

 

[Yoshara]

Considering that he only did it that one time, off of a counter hit, it's probably counter hit only.

 

[Lythium]

And everything that Carl does is height-specific.

[GigaBowserXyZ]

lol DJHUOUSHEN. he used to upload like almost all of his fights. though i think he stopped for now.

 

[Lythium]

I think you're right. A friend of mine fought him too.

Also, Plat ball. What's good?

 

[Rutger]

He uploaded some of my matches too.
They were pretty painful for me to watch...

They were from back in August, so I guess it's somewhat excusable. Not really though.
And one was me playing Ragna, I don't play Ragna in CS. :/

I think I'm going to like CS2 Tao. :3

 

[Pitzer]

I gotz a BBCS MM at pound 5 Hazama vs Litchi. I have to play on ps3 though. So Yeah being a 360 player gonna have to get use to it real quick.

 

[Gates]

Hey guys.

So has there been any word at all about when the patch is going to hit and/or Platinum DLC is going to be available?

 

[Lore]

I decided to start back playing Blazblue today!

...and I'm getting wrecked. XD

 

[Big-Cat]

I have an idea to help me with combos, and I wanna see what you guys think.

Currently, I can't do super long strings of combos for the time being. One thing I've seen suggested is to just put piece by piece together. The only problem I have with this is that it becomes more about memorizing the combo which would lead to me being predictable. Would it be a better idea that I see what I can combo from what to what so doing combos is more like painting a canvas and not memorizing an order?

 

[Wave⁂]

Take what I say with a grain of salt, but if you have a non-blue beat combo, there's no reason to change what you do in the middle of the combo if it does less damage. Just find different combo starters.

All you really need to do, is just get that hit confirm in and starting the combo.
You're right that you don't want to be predictable and go for the same attacks since they'll see it coming, like constantly going for a throw, Noel's 3C, etc.

But you really should still get those important BnBs down. I usually just do it piece by piece if I'm really struggling with it. If you need to, you can just unplug the controller and slowly tap the buttons and inputs in the right order so you can get it down to muscle memory even faster.

As for whether to memorize or not, I'd say memorize. Doing things on the fly isn't as helpful since things can go wrong.

 

[Big-Cat]

I'm not saying I want to skimp on the BnBs. I'm wondering if checking what cancels into what would help remember parts of combos in an easier way.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

I'm not sure I understand what KumaOso is getting at.

I guess combos are foreign to Fuertes.

Umbrella response:

If you have trouble with a combo. Just do the first half of it alone. done. now try to complete the second half of it alone (barring starter requirements). done. Now piece them together. done.

Practice until you get them down. All the way down.

Innovation comes later.

I'm going to bring myself to play online more often... I guess. If I see you online I'm sending an invite. Vice versa too, bro.

 

[Lythium]

Don't change the combo.

But mix your pressure strings up. Learn what you can get off a certain move when you hitconfirm.

 

[Big-Cat]

Learn what you can get off a certain move when you hitconfirm.

This is what I'm talking about. When I was saying I didn't want to be predictable, I didn't want to start off with a few combos and try to fish out hit confirms for the starting attack.

For example, let's say one Valk combo starts with whatever and partway, there's j.214B which I know I can go with either 9DD > j.B > dj.B > j.C (> j.236236C) or 9D < j.AAA < j.236A < j.236 B > whatever.

Instead of fishing for the hitconfirm for the earlier part of the combo sequence, I just flow with situation, and if I can land j.214B, I know what I can do from there.

 

[Lythium]

I think I know what you mean.

For example, when I'm pressuring with Noel, one of the variable strings that I use is: 5A > 2B > 5B > 6B or 5C or 2C. I can get a nice fatty combo off of a 6B, same with CH 5C or 2C, if they try to mash out.

But I mean, this wasn't stuff that anyone taught me. I went to training mode and experimented for a while, and wrote stuff down. Kept the stuff that was good, and got rid of the stuff that's not. But it was all trial and error.

I don't know if that really helps you though.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I'm not sure if anybody else does this when trying to learn combos, but what I do is I'll try the first say, 3 moves of it, then add on the 4th and 5th, then the next 2, and so on. That way, if I have trouble with a certain part, I'll know when I come to it and be able to learn it with a basic slow burn.

 

[DaiAndOh]

I'll try to do the whole combo, but apply more focus to certain moves I'm having trouble with. But I want to get into the habit of associating the whole combo together in muscle memory.

Related: According to himself, JWong does his combos 100 times in a row to call his practice complete. Dedication I'd say...

 

[Espy Rose]

I do something similar to that for my tech practice.

If I can't so something X amount of times in a row successfully, then I have to keep trying it until I can.

 

[Big-Cat]

**** online.

Thanks for the matches, Zero even though I got *****. I need to work more on the aerial aspect of this game. And instant block is hard as hell online.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

We have to play again sometime.

Lag is gay.

 

[Big-Cat]

I just wish I had local players to get better, but no, they got to be *******s and play Street Fighter and Marvel instead. I love SF and I'm dying to play Marvel, but man can't live on those two alone, or fighting games for that matter (I love DKCR).

I should look back at the tutorial for Instant Blocking. And is there a reason why I shouldn't IB from a strategic standpoint?

 

[Turazrok]

If you're talking about BB Kuma, Jnig's brother, Arcadia, is really good at BB. And he will teach you :X

 

[Minato]

I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't want to IB besides fear of screwing up.
So yeah, practicing IBing is a good thing. Just don't expect them to work online as you probably know... lol

Spoiler

Unless you're Tager, so you can psychic IB into mashing 360/720s...

 

[DaiAndOh]

ib builds meter and gives +5 extra frames on the ground and +10 extra in the air.

If you know you can do it, then do it.

Unless you're lazy and coasted this game with an auto-pilot character that's only truly godly when you ib anyway like me

 

[Lore]

I made someone ragequit yesterday! It felt great. :3

 

[DtJ Composer]

My 360 is fixed!


Haven't played BB yet though.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

Give it the Body Slam!

 

[DaiAndOh]

Awesome!

PS3 gives me no hatemail when I try.

Give it DA Body Slam!

Fixed. Come on you know he said it like that.

 

[Zero_Gamer]

You didn't think that your post could defeat my profile, didja baybee?

 

[LivewiresXe]

Uh oh, it's on now. You guys need to settle this with random Tsubaki dittos.

 

[Pitzer]

Ib houtenjin

 

[Lythium]

Mugen combos.

 

[DaiAndOh]

Fuu.
