Sounds good and all, but what I want to know is this: Is Chrono Phantasma the next game in the storyline (you know, after Continuum Shift)?

New outfits too huh?
This sounds awesome, I'm actually really hyped and it'll make me want to play my PS3 more Although a PC release would be awesome too
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Nanashi_1337 on August 05, 2012, 01:55:29 pm
The PC releases ended in Calamity Trigger :(
Anyway, I'm totally hyped for this. And three new characters too. I wonder if Mu-13 will still be playable in the next release.
Also, important thing to note, Loketest will be on Monday. Which means that you should be ready to see some videos about it.

Post by: Nanashi_1337 on August 05, 2012, 07:15:05 pm
Honestly, seeing that they show some CGs with Kokonoe, I really hope she ends up being a secret character, or if not, a DLC character. And if Lambda/Nu is really gone, I hope it's added to DLC or unlockable but unplayable in Story/Arcade.
Jubei has been said a lot of times by the staff that there's no intention to add him to the roster. And I doubt they will back out of this.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Kirishima on August 05, 2012, 08:15:27 pm
Lambda and Mu-12 should really be unlockables instead of DLC, though I'll be surprised if they are axed from the roster but then returned in a potential updated re-release. As for playable in Arcade, it'll be a "what if" style scene, no way canon to the story.

That's some bullshit Jin didn't get a new outfit but long haired Noel thank you Arcsys.

where's mah Jubei, Kokone and Saya as playabale characters
I'm gonna string out hope and say maybe this was cranked out and perhaps Jin will get a upgrade later?.....Maybe it will be explained in storymode. Would love sum of that second one.

I hope so i mean he went to train with Jubei but it looks like nothing about him changed beside the Air DP and Air Distortion.
Thanks for the pics, but any hope of securing the new Makoto art as well in some decent quality form?
For right now this is the best i can do since after Rachael they did the previews different. (http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab43/Moon-Girard/MakotoBBCP.png)

that asami looks a lot like Rose, even in the playstyle. Finally ArcSys decided to come up with a new title for Blazblue and the three characters looks pretty interesting.
I wonder if this is the end of Blazblue history?

Azrael looks friggin beast.
I wouldn't count Nu out just yet, she's kinda still alive after all. Might get a later reveal or be a surprise on console.
Also, I must be blind or something but what costume changes(Besides Noel) did the old characters get?

I did watch it. I know it was destroyed, THEN they commented that it was repairing itself. But it seems it's still not working.
Right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ5ZLXR0b5w&feature=player_detailpage#t=852s So do you really believe that they're going leave that character out? Nu-13 is going to be a secret character or heck, maybe the final boss again.
And i thought i was the only one who thought this.

Quote
New: -No more gold bursts, replaced by new system called overdrive. -defensive bursts still in though. - Crush trigger: during certain moves, press A+B to crush your opponents guard. Won't work on barrier guard though, and costs 25% heat
about overdrive:
- it increases your native strength. It fills up over time, then when its full you can activate it. - at low health it lasts longer, and will freeze time when used - each character has their own overdrive
Ragna: - overdrive: Blood Kain Idea - new command: Blood-scythe 214D (can be done in air) - looks like he's lost dead spike(strange though PV showed him using DS)
Jin: - overdrive: Frost End - sekkajin is now 22C, had additional follow up (press D, costs 25 heat) - new command: Hizansen 214C in air - new command: Hizangeki 214D in air (25 heat) - getsumei can be done in air now
Noel: - overdrive: Chain Quasar - new command: Chamber Shot 236C - 236C in air now has follow up (2C)
Taokaka: - Aerial 236236D (yunizon nyaibu!!) - Overdrive: AB2 - 236C has a B followup (Cat Spirit 3: Encore!) Sounds like it does the same thing as 236A.
Bang has apparently 3 new moves: -41236A -"Something" 22A (I'm going to assume that something means in the air)......is this a teleport like his unlimited form? Please say yes! -"Something" 236236D (new distortion)
Notable things, Steel Rain and FRKZ are "removed" / not listed......but people also said the Astrals aren't listed but I'm not sure why they wouldn't list Steel Rain / FRKZ.
Notes:FRKZ became his Overdrive 41236A is a revised Move

Valkenhayn: *Rasenwolf command changed to direction + D With this,the wolf break system has been eliminated apparently. *2C>6B does not connect on a grounded opponent. *Nacht rosen>[JB>JA]>2C does not work or its really tight. Seems like they end up being too low for the 2C to hit. *JC>air DD is difficult to connect. Hima isn't sure why. (Is JC not special cancelable anymore?Is the air DD slower?) *w.5B does not launch. *w.5C is a sweep. *w.JC is a diagonal kick.
Platinum's Overdirve is called "Magical Heart Catch" and allows her to use her items any number of times. Her new 41236C move is called "Happy Magica". it is a counter that puts her above her opponent, allowing for jump attacks
Amane:
Drive: Spiral (Changes the cloth into a drill to attack opoonents) Overdrive: Cyclone (Causes all attacks to be at the highest level)
Ninbusengeki: Hariken 236D -> follow up (during hariken press A B or C) Juukendageki: Gekiren 623C Choujuurengeki: Raibu 236C Tensourakugeki: Gosei 236C in air Choujinkaihi: Zettou 236A or B then 214A or B

Nope, it was 214D before, but that command is now that Death Scythe you've probably seen in the video. Here's the proof:
Are you seriously saying that Squirrel having instant level 3's sucks? Because being able to do previously impossible lockdowns sounds good to me.
Yes. I doubt they'll leave her LV3 drives intact (At least during Overdrive), they will be minus on block or there will be something to prevent said lockdowns (Not to mention that LV3 drives take one primer bar, you would be able to guard break people easily... plus there are easier ways to do that now, there's that new A+B attack) Knowing Aksys, they won't make her OP again.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Zero-Sennin on August 06, 2012, 03:32:35 pm
That may be so, but I think something else to consider is the fact that her Impacts are still pretty good finishers for further damage (Lv. 3 D > Dash > Lv. 3 2D > Lv. 3 j.D from CS1 comes to mind, even though it's kind of situation dependent and may not have carried over to future installations).
In fact, from the way the Overdrive is worded up there, the boost could apply to every move that uses the Drive System. Hello, fire-and-forget Lv. 3 BLODIA PUNCH.

Spoiler: Amane(click to see content)
Drive: Spiral Amane's drive attacks turn his cloth into a drill, into which he can use to attack his opponent. Heavily implied in the command list that there is a level system with it.
Overdrive: Cyclone Amane's drive attacks are upgraded to their final level.
Drive: Lockon Bullet's drive attacks allow her to quickly rush at her opponent and grab them, provided that she is close enough to the opponent. A "heat" system is implied with the drive attacks.
Overdrive: Heat the Beat Bullet is temporarily in an infinite "Heat Up" state.
Special Moves
-Wadcut: Engage -236D -Restricted in "Heat Up" -Flint Shooter -236A, able to charge -Cutting Shear -623B -Explode: Engage -623B > 22D -Restricted in "Heat Up" -Miquelet Capture -63214C -Piercing: Engage -63214C > 236D -Restricted in "Heat Up" -Snaphance Fist -623C, j.623C -Flechette: Engage -623C/j.236C > 623D -Restricted in "Heat Up" -Afterburner -214D, able to charge

Might have to try and get back into... hell, INTO BlazBlue. I have Shift, but didn't give it much of a chance outside of crushing the story mode. I've got a bit more spare time than I'm used to as well, might even get to work on another cheat sheet section.

Then again, CS1. Where she had that parry loop. Looks like they decided to now give her those situational LV2 2+D juggle combos in CSEX. Which are kind of cool but are nowhere near as useful as her corner carry teleport>D juggle combos.
In fact, from the way the Overdrive is worded up there, the boost could apply to every move that uses the Drive System. Hello, fire-and-forget Lv. 3 BLODIA PUNCH.
Too bad that move got nerfed to hell in CS2, and then it got nerfed even more in CSEX so now you're nowhere near as invincible during the startup AND not only it scales like hell but the damage is terrible. Also, that's irrelevant, since you charge during the super pause, that means the charge pretty much instant (Heck, when you put it that way auto LV3 drive moves sound useful now). And getting LV3 charge for supers isn't that hard (With practice you can even get constant LV3 Particle Cannon finishers.

Jin and Noel Avatars if anyone wants to use them (Sorry about them being bad quality for now :L) (http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac344/TOADUK/Jin-1.png)(http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/ac344/TOADUK/Noel-2.png)
Actually if there's any characters anyone wants from the trailer video to be made into avatars like this, let me know, I have nothing better to do right now.
I call dibs when either Litchi or Mu-12 appears(fat chance on her though....)
So save an ava for me when either of their 2 portraits appear...

Loketest Updates: New! Cosmic Ray: A short Mappa that covers some distance. It doesn't give a knockdown on hit, but on CH it blows the opponent away and can wallstick on corner. Lander Blow: A fast startup body blow. Has slight disadvantage on block; staggers on CH. Buffs: +5D untechable time increased; you can follow up 5D(3) with 2C again even after 2A. +236D (Shooting Star) level 3 wallsticks. 2C > 236D > 6A > 2D (3) > j.B > j.D (3) works. Nerfs: -214A~C~B startup increased; can't follow-up on a crouching opponent from Lunatic Upper (214A~C). -2D(3)'s vector was changed so that 2C no longer links from 2D(3). 5B and 5CC are still ok. -Similar vector change for PF. Doesn't feel like you can follow up with 2D(3) after two hits. -3C untechable time decreased; can't follow up with 2D(3) any longer. -Can't follow up back throw with 2B any longer. Neutral: Parry hit (not to be confused w/ Space Counter) staggers backwards.
Two so-so buffs and EVEN MORE FUCKING NERFS (No more so-so damage after a back grab) I fucking hate you Aksys.

May I ask a legitimate question without being labeled a troll? Seriously, I'm not trying to be, this is just to appease my curiosity:
What's the difference between Capcom doing these type of re-releases every year (that could've potentially been replaced with simple DLC) and Arc System Works doing the same thing? What makes people hate the former so much, yet become so excited for the latter? (other than the lack of bug riddled releases, unfulfilled promises, etc...)
For what it's worth, I bought the original SF4 for PS3 thinking I wouldn't be shafted later in this era of downloadable content. I was upset when not too long afterwards my game was essentially rendered obsolete. I haven't purchased any Blazblue game, but I've always been curious about the feelings of people who might've bough the original Calamity Trigger.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Shwa on August 09, 2012, 02:21:11 am
Don't remind me. The fact that people had to pay $45 for a ton of nerfs, a new character and story we've alre- My bad, I sound like a broken record.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
However, I get how CS2 was able to be its own thing within CS, yet Extend (which is just CS2 with one more character) needed its own disc. ASW knew fully well that they could've made easy money by making both CS(2) and Extend playable between each other, but Extend's extra content was extra incentive. All the content was aleady on it. It was all "free." It was easy money to attract all those attracted by bonuses rather than a mere update.
Needless to say, they made much less money that way. Had they made Relius as DLC for CS and thus CS2 v1.10A an update, alongside cross game play for all those with Extend, they would have made roughly double the amount of money over Extend's sales alone, purely from $8 DLC. From a marketing standpoint, it would've guaranteed BlazBlue's success and overall life extension without Mori having several Japan-only manga finance future projects.

See, since this is BlazBlue, this only applies to Extend as it could've been not mandatory. CT, CS and CP are all drastically different games if only because of the system. They're not so much re-releases as they are separate games. Extend is the only legitimate re-release of the bunch.
If by Arc, you mean Guilty Gear as well, that was during the time where patches weren't a thing for consoles outside of AC+ Append Edition. AC+R changed many, many things from AC+ to warrant it as a sequel, including competitively viable versions of Kliff and Justice.

This is a Sequel not a revision and Continuum Shift was a Sequel to Calamity Trigger so why would people who bought the original CT be mad people who bought CS should be made about Extend which they are. Arc system gets the same shit as Capcom but since there not as big as Capcom you don't see it as much but it's still there.

On the contrary, you should be happy about the lack of Relius players.
Less Relius players = Less people knowing how to deal with Relius = Getting away with stupid shit more often.

After a certain war, a young Bullet was wandering the place when a group of mercenaries took her in and raised her.
After that, she followed the mercenaries to various battlefields.
A candid person, her personality doesn't sweat the small details, but she's the type that will always keep a promise no matter what. Also, she's a pretty handsome person.
Because she was raised in an all-male environment, she's a bit ignorant in the ways of the world, and other than battle knowledge she knows nothing.
Perhaps it is because of that she thinks of everything in battlefield terms, and always has a dangerous side to her.
http://www.inside-games.jp/article/img/2012/08/06/58739/281588.html And Azrael's:
A solider belonging to sector seven.
A pure-bred soldier possessing a superhuman strength that defies common sense, once the battle starts he'll attack friend and foe alike, unable to control himself he'll destroy everything.
He looks a wee bit touchy, Azrael-san.
Throwing himself into battle, the concept of victory or defeat does not exist for him, but rather, whether he lives or dies in battle.
Really, this Azrael-san is such a hooligan.
Constantly wandering the battlefields searching for a strong opponent to fight... having introduced him thus far, Azrael-san seems nothing more than a battle-obessed nimrod.
Because he's obessed with using his own muscles to fight, he has never used a weapon before. Azrael-san is so hardcore.
However, he's troubled by the fact that he cannot really go all out in battles because of his superhuman strength, so he's imposed a limiter on himself.

Amane: (http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/game/45148/1344171182/195) Hearing the rumors about a pretty young vigilante, Amane searches for him to add him to his troupe of traveling actors. Since this vigilante is Carl, they will have major roles in each other's story modes. Amane is the first revealed member of the troupe, so it can serve as a good source of new characters in the future.
Bullet: (http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/game/45148/1344171071/338) A member of the mercenary troops that were once fighting for Sector Seven.

BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Definitely Coming in 2012 Plus, details about the home version's story mode from producer Toshimichi Mori. (http://andriasang.com/con27w/blazblue_chrono_phantasma/)
Quote
BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma has a Winter 2012 release date. That could technically mean February 2013, but in an interview with Famitsu, which was posted to Famitsu.com today, producer Toshimichi Mori assured players that the game will hit arcades some time in calendar 2012.
The first location test was held for the game immediately following its announcement. Mori also told Famitsu that they'll be holding a second location test as soon as they've made adjustments. This could come as early as some time this month.
If you can't make it out to an arcade to try the game out, you'll want to head out to Makuhari in late September for Tokyo Game Show. Arc is currently planning to show the arcade version at the September event. Attendees will be able to sample a near final version.
Mori also discussed the game's story. Chrono Phantasma will continue the story from Extend, so he suggested that players go back and play through Extend leading up to release.
Regarding the home version (currently confirmed just for PlayStation 3), Mori said that this is currently just in the planning stage. Rather than individual stories for each character, they're planning on having three main stories. In the end, the three stories will come together and show the true ending. You will be able to switch characters as you advance through the story.
Mori assured that the volume will remain at the same level as past BlazBlue home conversions.
Other home modes mentioned by Mori include a tutorial mode and something similar to the survival-like Abyss mode of past BlazBlue games. For tutorial mode, he said to expect more instructor voices.
Did Extend add that much more to the story? or is that line just a go buy Extend plug.

One based around Sector Seven and another around the academy. Might of been another too. He might be saying that since it has all of story content of CS1, the DLC character stuff mentioned above and the "retelling" of Calamity Trigger, which was universally bad. Better off replaying the original for each characters CT true story ending.

I've seen the side stories since they're in the 3ds version guess I'll just YouTube the DLC characters and Relius's stories.
Some more stuff from the Famitsu interview translated by Dustloops users. (http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?14664-BlazBlue-Chrono-Phantasma-General-Discussion-Hype-Thread/page204)
Quote
As we are moving to Ikaruga, we wanted the game to feel completely new. Each and every move, the system, the visuals, the music, sound effects etc. For example, we have moved in the direction where the time you combo is less. There is nothing wrong with hard combos being long, but we want basic combos to be shorter. To make the matches develop faster, we have lowered the time before you can stand up. If combos are too long we have failed.
Interviewer: Combos are the charm of BlazBlue isn't it? Looks hard to change anything there.
Mori: Yeah, we are fully aware of it. Take away the combos and it is not BlazBlue anymore. But it is not about making combos not connecting, instead just making the game speed higher. We also want to make the game to have fewer Time Ups, so we are trying to make the characters interact with each other more.
Quote
They talk a lot about the new character designs: Apparently it is Ragnas voice actor who came up with the idea for Amane. Mori wanted a character that puts on other characters and made Azrael. And then he used his orignal plan for Tager, a character that can throw with Drive, and made Bullet.
For you guys who have actually played the story:
Quote
Mori: Kokonoe is really popular, if we don't give her a spot, it'll bad right? Interviewer: So she will be a new character after the current three? Mori: I would like you to understand that I am a liar... Interviewer: How about Mikado... ? Mori: Won't show up in the arcades, but those playing at home have something to look forward to."
Quote
I: You have added new moves to all characters it looks like. M: If we didn't people would get mad, right? So all characters got at least one new move. Some characters like Noel got a new Astral animation as well. I: It seems like some characters are missing from the selection screen. M: Well the story has moved on, so Mu and Lambda isn't there. Well, if you want to know what happened to them, play some story mode after the arcade release. I: Is there some character you haven't announced yet. M: Yes, apart from the three new characters, we have really cool boss character ready fore you guys. I: What, for real? M: Yes, but it is not a Last Boss, it is just a Boss Characters, as the last boss for each characters story is different.

I: Everyone's eyes is on Litchi right now. M: Seems so. Some staff members that really like Litchi has put real effort into adjusting her, and added a new special that you can use whether you have the staff or not. I: She is really liked. M: Ability-wise Arakune and Jin really changed. Jins combos have completely changed, so I think players will be confused at first. We made so that Arakune can curse opponent easier, but it also disappears faster. We still need to analyze this loketest but, we are moving in the direction of making the bugs more expensive. Arakune can now also speak. I: Some characters, like Ragna, haven't changed much? M: Well, Ragna is the main character so many new players choose him, so we want to keep him simple. We also gave him a cool new move. As Ragna and Bangs power-ups are now overdrives, so that is a little change. I: Carl and the other hard to use characters, have they changed? M: Their fighting style haven't changed. As such, we have given them some new tools such player would like. People might get angry with me for saying this, but I think Carl and Arakune are the strongest. It is nothing wrong with hard to play characters are strong. I: So have you changed the sounds? M: Yes, we have rerecorded everthing. As P4U got so popular, we have reviewed our Stylish Mode and made it easier.

Rest of the Famitsu interview.
Quote
I: Did you want to weaken the long-range characters? M: We didn’t adjust it like that. Since best players from all over the country were taking part in the adjustments, you shouldn’t hope for something like that. If it was that boring, it’d make me angry (laughs). I: So you’re focusing on all aspects equally. Speaking of the system, you’ve added a new mechanic called Overdrive; what can you say about it? M: It’s an offensive mechanic that is paired with the defensive “Break Burst” mechanic. Since we didn’t want it to simply counter Break Burst , so Overdrive ended up really aggressive. Since you gain a considerable power boost, the chances of the round ending soon rise considerably. However, since it uses the same gauge as Break Burst, the player has to choose between the two. I: Aha, so it’s up to the player to decide on which one to use. M: Yes. The gauge that is used for Break Burst and Overdrive recovers over time, and it carries over between the rounds. If you use it in the first round, you can use it again around the end of the second round. Since I have no idea about the Overdrive’s influence on the fighting scene, I look forward to seeing it in action. By the way, this change isn’t in the build used in the loketest that started on August 6th, but we’re planning to give you improved versions of super-moves while in Overdrive. I: Putting together the overall improvements and move power-ups, it does sound really aggressive. M: Yes. I wanted it to have the feeling of decisive advantage when you use it. Do you go for a quick fight and use Overdrive, or do you play carefully and leave it for Break Burst – we believe that choices like that will be happening all the time. I: When your opponent uses Overdrive, the choice seems to lean towards Break Burst, isn’t it? M: That’s right. You want to end it quickly if the opponent is using Overdrive. Or you may want to carefully avoid the enemy’s advances, maybe even without using Break Burst. I believe that the exact strategy depends on the character. I: It does seem like the game is less passive with that. M: Yes. Instead of making some extreme changes to make the game more aggressive, we went for a way of switching between defense and offense quickly. I: Well then, how did you remake the visuals? M: The main concept behind the new visuals is “Everything you see is different”. Since the story has moved to Ikaruga, every single stage except for Rachel’s has changed completely. I: Have the stages become more varied, too? M: Of course. Though there are currently around 12 stages, with such backgrounds as the jungle or the snow-covered stage, there are now many different scenes other than the city landscapes. I: The character illustrations have completely changed, too. M: Yes. It’s me who’ve drawn them. Last time, we were using my designs and Kato was drawing them, and this time, we were using Kato’s designs with me drawing them. We decided that the move to Ikaruga was a good enough reason for the change of the artwork’s taste. Actually, you may not notice this, but we also made some changes to the character sprites. I think that Ragna is one of the characters that changed the most. I: When the changes are as drastic as Noel’s, it shouldn’t be surprising that you had to make her sprites more detailed. M: Yes. Actually, many members of the staff were angry about Noel losing her hat. Since they had to draw her from scratch, they were like “Why did you have to change it!?” (laughs). I: (laughs) M: We were thinking about giving Jin new clothes, too. However, we don’t think that Jin cares about his clothes that much, so we ended up leaving them as is (laughs). I: Doesn’t care about his clothes? (laughs) By the way, has the music changed completely, too? M: Of course, all the music has changed, too. Though the existing characters got their themes remixed, Tager’s theme got a completely different feeling to it. I: Three completely new characters have been revealed. Can you please tell us something about each of them? M: Starting with Amane, it was Ragna’s voice actor, Tomokazu Sugita, who brought us his initial concept. I: What! Which part of Amane was Sugita-san’s idea? M: The Drive (character’s special ability) called “Spiral” that uses a drill and can overheat, making it impossible to use for a while, and the overall feeling of dancing while fighting. I: Aha, so Amane fights with a drill? M: Yes. Amane ended up to be a good design of a long-ranged character. He can pull the opponent in with his cloth, or he can perform a multi-hit attack with the drill. For the experienced players, his fighting style can be summed up as “The character who cares about hit-confirms a lot”. I: So he ended up as an advanced character for experienced players? M: Yes. Furthermore, even if you block the drill, the chip damage is still quite large. Also, since he can only fight at the very long range or at the very short range, I do think that he’s going to be played by the experienced players. I: I can’t remember any other character who cares about chip that much. Moving on, what does Azrael have? M: Azrael is a soldier that belongs to the same “Sector Seven” organization as Tager, who can implant weak points into the enemy with his Drive, The Terror. The idea is that he puts a curse on you for a short time. When a Drive attack connects, a weak point is put on you, and when it’s hit, your hit stun becomes much longer and attacks gain additional effects. Though his fighting style revolves around finding the way of applying the weak points to the opponent, his attack power is quite high, so you can still fight well even without using Drive. Since his movement is on the slower side, he’s pretty close to Hakumen in terms of gameplay. I: Did his original idea belong to you? M: Yes. It was me who came up with this idea. In the whole BlazBlue cast, there was no character that had a reason to furiously fight against every single opponent. Thus, the idea of a “Tyrant character” was born. Both Azrael and Bullet were made specifically to make an impact on the story. This time, when we told the staff about their roles in the story, they were excited about how to derive their fighting styles from it. And then I made new adjustments, and the cycle began anew. I: Okay, lastly, what can you say about Bullet? M: Well, she’s quite large-breasted, isn’t she? (laughs) Jokes aside, she’s based on Tager’s initial design that we didn’t use: “You can throw your enemy by pressing the D button”. I: Though she doesn’t look like one, she’s actually a grappler with strong throws, isn’t she? M: She’s not simply about throws, more about “Strike throws” that stun the enemy when you hit with them. You quickly throw the enemy and go for a combo right away. I: Can you escape throws in the middle of a throw combo? M: You cannot. However, since it’s a strike throw, you can block the initial strike. I think that, out of all the new characters, Bullet is the easiest to play. Not only does she have the strike throws, but she also has a projectile, so the overall balance is pretty good. I: Will you recommend Bullet to the players who can’t decide on a character to main? M: Yes. Since she has a great feeling about her, I’d recommend everyone to try her out at least once. I: Now then, what part are these characters going to take in the story, and how are they related to the existing characters? M: First of all, as you might guess from his attention to young handsome boys, Amane is interested in adding Carl to his traveling troupe. However, he also interests Rachel for some reason, so there’s going to be some interaction between them, too. This is not related to the story, but you should see Amane’s opening animation. Every single member of his troupe comes out (laughs). His Astral Heat was also a hell to produce; our team members have put all their blood, sweat and tears into it. I: Sounds like fun (laughs). M: Azrael has been sealed by the “Sector Seven” organization that Kokonoe and Tager belong to. Since he doesn’t differentiate between friend and foe while enraged, he has put a limiter on himself. Also, since he’s a battle maniac, he doesn’t care about winning or losing in a fight. He’s quite troublesome to deal with for everyone involved (laughs). Naturally, among the existing characters, he has a deep relation with Tager and Kokonoe. By the way, since this installment revolves around Sector Seven a lot, the Sector Seven characters now take a much bigger role in the story. Ah, I almost forgot to say how amazing Yasumoto-san’s voice is, do look forward to listening to it. I: Indeed, Yasumoto-san’s voice seems to fit him well. M: Finally, we have Bullet. She, too, is a character that’s related to Sector Seven. When the game is released in the arcades, I recommend you to check out the story mode as soon as possible. I’d especially recommend you to pay attention to Amane and Bullet’s dialogues, since they’re pretty interesting. I: Speaking of the story as a whole, moving to Ikaruga means that it progressed a lot. M: Yes. Initially, we wanted to make BlazBlue into a trilogy, but I don’t feel like it’s going to end anytime soon… I: It has become a really epic story. M: Yes. This time, when we’re talking about “the whole story”, we mean the introduction, the development, the climax and the denouement. We’re finally going to firmly conclude the story of the Six Heroes’ past. Since this is the main plot point behind this installment, the title is “Chronophantasma”, the illusion of time. I: So you pay a lot of attention to the story, too. Right now, the major players are Rachel, Hakumen and Hazama, but Ikaruga is a hometown of Bang. Does that mean that…? M: Exactly. This time, Bang takes an extremely important part in the story. I: Aha. The Bang fans must be very excited. By the way, Kokonoe is still not playable, even though she seems to be even more important this time…? The Answer is the first quote in my last post.

Post by: SNT on August 19, 2012, 11:34:02 pm
Musou Rule is based on three tenets. If:
the game's main audience is Japanese,
the 360 still has a small userbase in Japan,
and the global financial crisis has still made publishers scared about taking financial risks,
then the game's likelihood of seeing continued support on the 360 is greatly lessened. Named so for the Musou games (Dynasty Warriors, etc.) which as of DW7 Empires have scrapped 360 support altogether.

The first Xbox failed in Japan because of it's design and games were for mostly for the western market. When the 360 was launched it had exclusives like The idolm@aster which made a fanbase. But most of those games lost exclusive rights to Microsoft and moved to other platforms.

戦闘モードを変更することで、使える技を変化するのが特徴だ (when she changes to battle mode, her specials change as well)
basically, I think it means she can switch in and out of murakumo mode.
eh, should have phrased it better. Nu looks like she has two forms, her murakumo form, and her pre-battle armorless form with that giant sword. If I had to guess 戦闘モード would be the murakumo mode, and going into it will alter her moveset
So yeah, about that new Mu and Nu info: http://gamenyarth.blog67.fc2.com/blog-entry-12171.html - Both Nu-13 and Mu-12 are playable - Mu's Overdrive is Steins Gazer (Geyser?), it makes her lasers faster - Her AH got new animation - Story mode: Noel wishes to control the power of the Azure to save Tsubaki and turns into Mu thanks to Rachel's powers. She's still the same old Noel inside. - Nu's Overdrive is Unlimited Drive, which increases the amount of swords summoned (like in her Unlimited version?) - New move, Supra Rage. Nu does a backflip and strikes with her legs, making this a good anti-air move that also gives her some distance. - No new info about the loketests.

To be completely honest, I wasn't expecting this to happen. The new trailer is pretty exciting, though I imagine some of the people who had problems with Unlimited Nu will probably get pre-emptively bitchy about Nu's Overdrive.

Never would of imagined that Mu would return, let alone be part of Noel and used to help her try to break whatever mindfuck Hazama has placed on Tsubaki. Hey, I bet as long as we see 'Dat Ass', it's all good. :P

Yeah, Bullet seems nice but I don't really understand her drive. Is it supposed to be homing grapples? 'Cause it sure looks like it and I didn't really bother looking her up much from the loketests. Mostly running for Azrael (50% in two hits without crit point) and Amane, plus going back to Hazama, Squirrel and Nu. Bang having FRKZ as Overdrive is pretty scary but I'll give that a shot too. Plus her gauntlet has some weird Heat thing that powers her moves up and her OD is permaheat? Freaking ripoff of TRF2 etc. etc. :V

LOL
About Bullet, according to what I saw that's exactly how it works. A circle appears, and if the opponent is in range, she goes towards them. The more the circle is pressed, more bigger it turns. Of course, she does strike grapples, so if her first attack is blocked, she won't grab and you're basically full open.
Also, she has some sort of Heat mode, which seems to have a light and strong version. The main thing I saw is that it makes the circle a lot bigger and probably raises damage of the grab, but only lasts for one grab. Honestly, I don't know a lot of how she plays yet, but her gameplay seems really interesting, and I like characters with unique gameplay.

Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Shwa on October 19, 2012, 02:11:55 am
They are, actually.
Hazama is straight up snake-faced bastard (if you have a constantly closed and/or yellow eyes and a large ass grin, you are automatically made of sheer evil. (common anime trope as of the past few years, one of the more recent cases would be Tick Jefferson from Baccano, with the scissors. He's made of shear evil AHAHAHAHA GEDDIT, though Hazama himself is based on Ichimaru Gin from Bleach so much to having the same seiyuu and admittedly being a sort of "port")
Arakune is the mandatory monster. While BB technically has three scientists (including Kokonoe and Relius), he was the first to demonstrate the consequences of his own actions. A fad in fighters now is to have either an oddball character, a monster, or both either separately or at the same time. Arakune was done under the basis that ASW already did Eddie before (as in the actual bioweapon) and while everyone else was based off 3D models, they would do a more abstract character from scratch as the simplicity in his lack of detail outside of BEEEEEEEEES would not affect the animation budget much and also had a bit more freedom as to how he would animate.

Are people seriously white knighting a character who we know nothing about? Like, does this guy seriously have fanboys? There's a difference between a stereotype and a cliche. A white spiky haired hero with a giant sword and a demon arm, a sneaky trickster villain in a stylish suit, a shy antisocial girl who kicks a lot of ass, those are cliches. A gay dude with pink hair who crossdresses and lusts after little boys and sparkles as he skips like a little girl delivering Girl Scout cookies? That's a damn stereotype. Stereotypes are funny in Street Fighter and cartoons, this is neither. And besides, even if he was he would still be terrible because traps are the worst character design archetype ever created by anyone ever, stupid shit spawned from homophobia and insecurity and a little dash of daddy issues.
But enough about horrible character designs, we have the Skullgirls thread for that. Any idea when the next location test is? I'm interested in seeing some more actual gameplay, even if it is on Blair Witch cam.

Err... could you bring all of this outside this thread, please? I don't want to see it derailed, which is what's happening right now.
The debate is about the character design. People really need to stop being so damn afraid of a little conflict on a fucking forum of all places.
When it was about the character design, I didn't mind, it was about the game. When it was about MC2 and Iced complaining about the other, it wasn't.
Anyway, here's a good recap of everything that has been said about this game:
http://shoryuken.com/2012/08/05/blazblue-chrono-phantasma-system-changes-and-move-lists/ http://shoryuken.com/2012/10/17/blazblue-chrono-phantasma-mu-12-and-nu-13-revealed/ http://shoryuken.com/2012/10/17/blazblue-chrono-phantasmas-launch-window-narrowed-to-late-november-opening-movie-released/ <-- just the op
Wouldn't it be better to put this in the first post?

(http://i.imgur.com/hoM0o.jpg) Tons of more screenshots here featuring Mu and Nu nothing we haven't seen before. (http://www.famitsu.com/news/201210/24023117.html) Translated by DL
Quote
Mu -
3rd row of Mu pictures is her new special, "Ikutachi". From the caption, it seems to be a fast, forward moving kick that hits the opponent upwards.
Overdrive is "Steins Gazer". Makes bits shoot instantly upon being set, and causes set bits to automatically fire as well.
OD affects both Omohikane and Yatanokagami DDs.
Nu -
2nd row of pictures is her new special, "Face Lift". It changes her mode, and the moveset she has differs between them.
3rd row of pictures is her new special, "Supra Rage". Anti-air attack that moves her backwards.
Noel's awakened form as the successor of the true azure. The pinnacle form of a dimensional contact unit. As the "God Slayer Sword - Kusanagi" she was the only being capable of destroying the Master Unit in the boundary, but with Ragna's help she was able to regain herself. And now, to save her friend, she asks Rachel to teach her to control her power.
Height: 157cm Weight: 48kg Birthday: 1/7（Tempering date） Blood type: Ａ Birthplace: 13th Hierarchical City "Kagutsuchi" Interests: Writing poems（absolutely not showing anyone）, mail ordering（since it can be done without needing to interact with people） Likes: Cute things Dislikes: Bugs（especially those with lots of legs） Drive: Steins Gunner CV 近藤 佳奈子 ---------- ν-No.13-（Nu） "Commencing target annihilation"
In the console version of "Blazblue: Calamity Trigger", Nu was supposed to have fallen into the caldron alone and perished after a monumental battle with Ragna, but she returns as a playable character in this iteration. She revived with her own will to fuse with Ragna, with her current form being something Hazama refers to as the "Sword of Hades". She has been retuned by Hazama, and stands once more in Ragna's way.
Edit: Also of dubious usefulness, but I did the final section as well. It might be confusing without the pictures so please read it along with the site for reference. I don't know how people talk so I apologize if any of the dialogue seems out of character. (And yes, the original really has that many quotes >w>)
■In a game where both Mu and Nu make an appearance, what sort of development will Noel's story have!? Having managed to escape to Ikaruga, Noel, to save her friend "Tsubaki Yayoi" from the brainwashing of the "Sealing Armament - Izayoi", faces "herself" to obtain "power"...
【1】VS Amane：Mistaking her for a crossdressing boy, Amane attempts to scout her Dialogue: Noel - Dance troupe? Is that...something like a group that does plays and stuff?
Amane - Sorry for the late introduction. My name is Amane, Amane Nishiki. I lead a dance troupe that travels the world!
【2】VS Rachel：The person Noel must face is！？ Dialogue: Noel - ...I...have someone I want to protect! Someone I want to save!!
Rachel - The power that you seek, I'll materialize it. If you can "face" it... You might be able to obtain that "power".
After fighting Rachel, the one that Noel must face is......!? Find out the conclusion of this story by playing! Dialogue: ??? - That's... the "Power of the Azure" that lies within you, yourself.

Jin and Hakumen both having Tsubaki palettes gave it away especially since Jin's Tsubaki palette didn't match her colors. Though when Mu's profile was about Noel using her powers to Save Tsubaki it was more obvious.

What is this?? What the hell?? How did this happen? I don´t get it :(
Realizing that Tsubaki wasn't going to be able to do much while blind, Izayoi decided that "FUCK THIS. I'LL DO IT MY GODDAMN SELF" and took over Tsubaki.
Also changed her clothes because Tsubaki's modest outfit wasn't Izayoi's style.

Arc System Works has announced a new game in its BlazBlue spin-off series BlazyBoo for 3DS.
BlazyBloo: Clone Phantasma, whose title is not far from the upcoming BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, is an action game featuring popular BlazBlue characters in chibi-style forms.
Story mode, which consists of seven stages, tells the tale of many clones on a rampage. Ten new characters have been added to the roster from Chrono Phantasma.

Posted: November 22, 2012, 10:25:31 am They did a Score Attack, and wow, all characters are weak... until the player reached Hakumen, and he ate like 6 Yukikazes. Apparently the AI completely reads your commands and instantly counters you with Yukikaze if it has enough power. I really hate AIs doing that.
Apart from that, I saw OD Yukikaze, and it was really cool. And so many aaaaawesome themes. First day the OST comes out I'm so getting it.

Well, here I have Noel's new Astral Finish, if you want to check, plus some nice combos. Yeah, her Astral Finish is a counter now:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejKjSMqnz6A
Also, Tsubaki got a different one for Relius, showing that whoever designs the female characters must have an ass fetish (Mu is a good example to that). Apart from that, I'm sure Noel, Mu and Nu have different versions for Relius. Also, Tsubaki's Astral Finish is exactly the same, but with different dialogue and the statue that appears is black. And Carl and Arakune have different ones too.

You should see how much chip damage his drill attacks do. It makes you want to stop blocking because there's hardly any difference in damage and because it drains the Barrier really fast. I'm sure he will be nerfed, though don't know how much.
Honestly, I'm starting to be disappointed at Bullet players. They always do the same simple combo in order to always have Heat activated. There's hardly someone who tries to risk with her D follow-ups, which ends up in lots of fights with Bullet players nearly acting the same.
For Azrael though, he's simply amazing. I really like the Azrael matches I've seen. I'm reconsidering trying this one first before Bullet. One thing I've seen, you always want to have a weakpoint on your opponent, even if it means sacrificing some damage when doing a combo. It really changes things the moment your opponent has a weakpoint.

Mu is out in Arcades. I hope I can see her gameplay soon in the livestream.
Also, remember that 3 hours video I posted before from GAMEacho? At 2:45:40 you can see one of the best Hakumen combos used so far in the new CP, involving OD. It's really really cool, and it's not as impractical as some combos I've seen with Mugen (requires 5 stars, OD, and low health).
Also, I'm really liking his new Agito move, specially that awesome vertical range. It's his new 1-star special. Posted: December 05, 2012, 03:13:00 pm Oh, and two more videos:
Amane's Astral against all characters in-game, including Nu, Mu and Izayoi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOX_euRYSd8#!) Posted: December 06, 2012, 11:21:18 am And... Lust Sin II theme. Or rather, a preview. If anyone is interested in it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gdmflaq9jU
Unfortunately, I still haven't found videos with good Mu players, and the only Nu players I've seen were using the Attack & Runaway tactic, meaning we can't really see them using the majority of options Nu has, like her Change Mode, which is something I really want to post so we see how she works.

There's a lot of Vs themes in BB:CP. I honestly like this, as they set the mood of the fight (for example, Memory of Tears is a sad song as it shows two friends being forced to fight each other; or Nightmare Fiction, in which the MC fights against the main villain when such villain overpowers him by a lot).

Since this is a Blazblue thread after all, can I ask how the GFWL version is of CT? I picked up the Windows 8 port, but JESUS ITS AN ABOMINATION and so I'm wondering how the original port did on PC.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Shwa on December 26, 2012, 09:51:24 pm
For one, it wasn't barebones by comparison. The Win8 port isn't bad when you consider the fact that it could be considered a straight up arcade port. However I got the GFWL version for about the same price and it's the exact same thing as on consoles. ...'cept I was able to do stuff. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ArTcn_8bGU)
The one thing the Win8 port managed to do was

Technically, again, you can get the GFWL version (retail or online key like I did) for roughly the same price and even less. Besides, it has cross-platform online with the 360 version IIRC.

That is the one on GFWL for that price I guess I'll look at Amazon(I wish I could find a retail version of it), I'm actually surprised it isn't on Steam.

Hmm, I thought with the way GFWL works, keys from other countries couldn't be used on other countries accounts, but if it doesn't I suppose I could just give it to someone from the UK who wants it and 20$ isn't anywhere near as bad as 34$ for me. :hugoi:

Yeah but $10 certainly beats $20, let alone $34. lol ArcSys should be selling a straight up arcade port of BBCP at that price instead, before the final consumer version hits so we get the story and bonuses later.
I would rather have a version of BBCP with only CSEX's roster and just Arcade, Versus (local), Score Attack and Sparring (not Training) (make the menu like post-character select screen in the arcade ver. but before the char select) than have CT rereleased on PC. Again.

Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Nanashi_1337 on April 01, 2013, 05:24:30 pm
It doesn't seem like they have a new lifebar portrait, more like they get a glow effect to look different.
Anyway, I researched a little about the Unlimited characters, and they got these new effects in ChronoPhantasma (old characters only):
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
- Ragna: Gains a new Distortion Drive. - Jin: He can't use Hiyoku Getsumei in the air, something he could do in Extend while Unlimited. - Noel: Gains a new Distortion Drive. - Rachel: No changes mentioned. - Taokaka: No changes mentioned. - Carl: Gains a new Distortion Drive, which is his Astral Drive in previous games, but instead of being an IK, it does 8000. - Litchi: No changes mentioned. - Arakune: No changes mentioned. - Tager: Gains two Distortion Drives, one of them is apparently a copy of Maxima's Bunker Buster from KoF. - Bang: Gains lots of new things: > Steel Rain tracks the opponent and hits with a lot more nails. > Void Tempest: Bang Drop and Bang Drop EX'S hits are reduced to 3 like the original, aerial version has a small airdash forward, and neither grab generates Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan seal unlike previous versions. > He gains a special that makes him invisible, aka Chipp in Guilty Gear. > Apparently his Fuh-Rin-Ka-Zan becomes a Distortion again, while he gains a new Overdrive. > A new Distortion Drive, which seems to be a reference to Zanzetsu's SDM from Last Blade. - Lambda: No changes mentioned. - Hakumen: Gains two Distortion Drives, one of them being a complete copy of Hotenjin from Hazama, but using Hotaru to create that similarity. - Hazama: Gains a new Distortion Drive, and Serpent's Infernal Rapture now tracks the opponent. - Tsubaki: New distortion, basically copyin the Meteor attack from Chie in Persona 4 Arena. - Mu: 236A no longer makes two speed projectiles. - Makoto: No changes mentioned. - Walkenhain: A new distortion, which locks him in Wolf mode but gives him unlimited Guard Points. - Platinum: No changes mentioned. - Relius: No changes mentioned. - In general, they don't need to be Overdrive to have access to their Overdrive supers, they can use them from the very beginning. That applies to all characters.
And as for new characters:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
- Amane: Spiral Gauge starts at lvl3 and regenerates, and a new distortion similar to Jedah's Dio Sega in Darkstalkers 3. - Bullet: Can run, her Drive functionality has changed (no mention of the changes), and a Distortion that imitates Rugal's God Press at the beginning and ends up with an imitation of Terry Bogard's Buster Wolf. - Azrael: Speed increase (by a lot for what I see), his comboability has greatly improved since some moves have diferent properties, a special move that imitates the All-Out move in Persona 4 Arena and a new Distortion which basically copies the effect of Musou Tensei of Kenshirou and Raoh, aka he can parry a move 7 times, making him appear behind the opponent after succesfully parrying them, and can be comboed into. - Izayoi: She's faster and her teleports are faster, her Slaver Trans-Arms can olny be used 20 times instead of working like a depleting gauge, and two new Distortions.
OMG Amane and Azrael are insane in Unlimited. They had to make the Unlimited challenge harder again.
Also, keep in mind that this list may change, specially when the game gets released, so they may be even crazier.

BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Arc System Works’ latest entry in the fighting game series, will hit PlayStation 3 in Japan on October 24, this week’s Famitsu reveals.
The magazine also reveals new playable character Kagura Mutsuki (voiced by Keiji Fujiwara).
The game will consist of three scenarios: Chrono Phantasma, The Six Great Men, and The Seven Agencies.
Pre-orders will include the downloadable character Yuuki Terumi (voiced by Yuichi Nakamura).

In case you failed to realize, the first character is Yuki Terumi, which is kind of obvious. The second is Kagura Mitsuki for what I'm reading in his Katakana, but I never heard/read of this one before, so it must be an original one.
But really, still no Kokonoe? :(

In case you failed to realize, the first character is Yuki Terumi, which is kind of obvious. The second is Kagura Mitsuki
Mutsuki. COME ON, it was in Girard's post (And in the scans if you, supposedly, can read katakana)
Quote
Yuuki Terumi - preorder DL code Has more DD than specials. Drive lets him obtain more meter than usual.
Kagura Mutsuki Charge character. Has only two specials which are projectiles and an anti-air. Drive is based on stance. Goes into a stance for his drive and can go into multiple moves from there.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Bastard Mami on April 17, 2013, 04:33:27 pm
Kagura Mutsuki will be a new character making his first appearance on the console version of BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma. Mutsuki was actually mentioned by name in the arcade version of the game. According to Mori, Kagura is a character with a positive personality, which he stated is lacking in the BlazBlue series.
Kagura will have an interesting role and story behind his character, as Mori believes that he is a straight-forward and cool character, and expects him to be well received by fans.
As far as fighting style goes, he will be the first BlazBlue character with all of his special attacks being performed by holding commands. They will all consist of projectiles and anti-air attacks and he will use his giant sword for regular attacks. Not only does it make Kagura a rather beginner-friendly character, but also ideal to use against speedy or aerial-focused opponents with his projectiles and long reach.
Kagura’s Overdrive skills will be all about stances. It will vary according to his positions such as standing, mid-air or crouching, and can perform various attacks during activation. However, due to Kagura being a character that is heavy on holding-type moves, his weakness will be a lack of mobility compared to speedy characters.
Meanwhile, Yuki Terumi is going to have a key role in BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma’s story, which Mori didn’t want to touch on, as he believes it would spoil the story for fans. As we all know, Terumi is a separate persona of Hazama, and will have his own move set. They both look alike, but their play style will be different.
The concept behind Terumi is to have him be a flashy character who can constantly use Distortion Drives. Due to Distortion Drives using up the Heat Gauge, Terumi’s style will allow him to accumulate it easily. Rapid Cancel and Crush Trigger will also use up Heat Gauge, so knowing how to use it will be crucial in playing Terumi.
According to Mori, Terumi won’t have as many Dragon Serpent attacks, as it would make him feel too similar to Hazama. As a result, the developers have decided to save these only for his special attacks. His attacks will be more close-ranged, but he’ll make up for it in his speed, which is said to be higher than Hazama’s.
In addition to the two new characters, BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma will focus a lot on its visual novel-like story, that boasts over 30 hours of game play.

Umm... really? I mean, I don't mind those visual novelparts, but wow 30 hours for them. I think that's a little too much, I remember how boring it was to read the novel parts in Persona 4 Arena as they took way too long (youtube, as the game isn't in Spain yeeeeeeeeeet).
Anyway, I'm starting to like Mutsuki. Those stances seem really cool to use. I wonder if I finally will find a replacement for Hakumen as main or if I will still stick with him.

Why are you bringing a game to a friend's house in this day and age? Why don't you play your friend online? Why doesn't he come to your house? If you absolutely have to bring a game to a friend's house, bring your console too. This isn't a problem exclusive to fighting games that put effort into their story modes, this is a problem of an entire console generation abandoning memory cards out of their obsession with achievements and gamerscores, a problem that players of every other MP genre have dealt with without as much bitching. Hopefully next gen will have a more streamlined solution, but until then, if access to one character is really that big a deal to you, find a workaround and deal with it.
And why mention tournaments at all? If you're going to a tournament, why the fuck are you worried about having to unlock the character? The TOs would have already done it for you.
I might run an FGC blog, but the thing is I also enjoy story modes, even if they are horrific. It gives me an avenue for discovering the ins and outs of each character in the game, while giving other non-fighter parts of my brain something to look at too. What is it about being made to try out all the other characters to unlock everything that you're so dead set against? How can it possibly affect your game, aside from giving you a better understanding of each character's pros and cons, and potentially giving you a new main?

Completing story mode in BlazBlue means completing the story mode for each other character.
Well in CP they say there will be one single story mode line, not one for each character. So, probably something like it was in Calamity Trigger Reconstrucion in CSE. Alhough you will have a choice whom to play sometimes. Sounds good enough for me.

Chosis you should really know better since you run an FGC blog. If I want to bring my game to a friend's house or GOD FORBID go to a tournament, we shouldn't have to play through a monotonous, terribly written, terribly programmed visual novel piece of crap just to have a full set of characters. Fortunately if Continuum Shift was any indication Kagura will be DLC as well for those of us who enjoy keeping their brain cells.
You really bring a game to a friend who probably has to install data before he can play it thanks to the awesome technology of today? Thats so...mid nineties or? And its so important that all characters are available if that friend does not even have the game and most likely does not know how to play even one character? And because YOU disliked the BB story mode its horrible for everyone?

At the end of the day, not having to unlock characters and stages is far more convenient for everybody and I don't mind playing the single player content for the sake of it, I enjoy the story and challenge modes even when they unlock nothing important besides an achievement.

I'm with MC2 on this one and i love unlockable characters but having to beat a 30+ hours story mode (which if it's like the other Blazblues you can't even skip scenes) to unlock one character is pretty obnoxious especially when you can beat arcade more with every character in less then half that time
BlazBlue: Chronophantasma comes to consoles with two more characters and modes seen in other home versions. Unlimited Mars mode is designed for advanced players and pits them against tougher versions of the BlazBlue characters.
And for beginners, BlazBlue: Chronophantasma has a tutorial mode. Rachel isn’t the only character that guides you through the tutorial in this game and it might be worth playing through to see conversations with other characters like Noel.
When you want to learn more advanced techniques you can try challenge mode, which has players execute specific combos. BlazBlue: Chronophantasma shows the commands you inputted on the bottom of the screen.
BlazBlue: Chronophantasma also has score attack mode. You can clear this by defeating 10 computer controlled characters, but you can’t continue if you’re defeated in this mode.
Here’s a look at Kagura Mutsuki one of the new characters in BlazBlue: Chronophantasma.

I does suck dog ass that XB360 Won't be getting CP, but I'm guessing the sales weren't as good as they were on PS3. I do know Blazblue wasn't advertised too well for newcomers (I didn't hear of it until I asked a XBL buddy what it was, and happened to stumble on CT in Gamestop).

No 360 release? That hits hard for me; for both playing the game and getting the rips.

Jokes aside I think that the game will hit XBOX sooner or later. Maybe there will be no xbox version in Japan, but the probaility of NA or EU version is high. I am a PS owner, but I'm not gonna get japanese version and the wait for EU version can be long, maybe even a year. But whatever, we'll just have to deal with it.

I'll find a way to get the files; it's going to take a lot of googling research. I will have my Hizangeki sprites!
The only thing that worries me is how the file is compressed. I can easily decode the files from the XB360 because of Microsoft's SDK (Software Development Kit). I don't have any tools for any PS3 files.
I'll just have to wait and see when the game comes out. :book2:

Kokonoe made Tager's current structure/form. She canonically has many more where that came from, it's not just some gag ending reference.

Yeah it's absolutely retarded especially since the Japanese version is gonna come with the English text and audio if the old Blazblues are any indication. I think the R patch came out but for Japan only. It may or may not be a free upgrade but I don't know since I don't keep track of Guilty Gear. My real worry is that BBCP's US release is around the same time as Ultra SF4 so I'm worried their sales will suffer for an already somewhat niche series.

The patch is only out in Japan, yeah. I don't want to buy the game again (With Yen, nonetheless) just to get a free patch. Aksys said the patch for the NA version was coming out on August... and they're past their deadline so I don't even know.
And yeah, that's a good point Ultra is getting released around the same time frame, eh whatever Atlus isn't the smartest developer/publisher when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Here's a siliconera link with tons of screenshots and an explanation of some of Kokonoe's moves.
Footage of Kokonoe, Terumi, and Kagura in action. (http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1379734574)
For those who don't know, (unless you have a premium account) you'll have to wait though because, well... NicoNico
Terumi: 4:38 Kagura: 9:02 Kokonoe: 13:09
Terumi plays just like they stated...too bad they really didn't go too much into how his style of play affects his combo strings...
Kagura is pretty good, having a stance button and can use it for combos pretty well, or atleast seemingly for enders.
Kokonoe actually played far differently than I thought she was. Her Drive is pretty damn nifty and hard to use seemingly, but it actually works for the moves and attacks she can do. The Distortion they showed off does ass damage and it's hard to tell if it activates instantaneously or what, but it does seem to be more of a bounce mechanic or just to screw with the opponent.
I honestly wish they showed more, including their Astrals...November is a long way away to actually see how good these characters are.

For what I'm seeing about Kokonoe:
Quote
- The Gravity effect seems to be strong. I mean, it seems the other player has some problems about moving away from it if it's been triggered and he's really close. Tager players will have lots of trouble for getting away from it. - Her Gravity device works even if she's hit, so it makes cornering her in the corner kind of hard sometimes since you're pushed further away when the opponent blocks, making some attacks be out of reach if you're not careful. - She can also make the Gravity device repel for one time by spending some Gravity bar. This disables the Gravity device and has to be set again. - She can teleport to where she set her Gravity device (if she doesn't have a Gravity device set she teleports for a short distance). The teleportation is fast, which makes it an excellent choice to escape from the corner or catch the opponent from the back. Tbh, I'm not really sure if the Gravity device does affect the teleport, as I haven't seen any moment in which she teleported far away but it wasn't set. - The fireball she launches gets attracted and/or repelled by the Gravity device. The fireball seems to have huge hitboxes, and it can be quite unpredictable to figure out where it will appear since the opponent can decide the right moment to set the device to screw you. - She has a rocket punch LOL. Sends the opponent to the corner. It's a hit&grab attack, it seems. - The other device she can use is a mine that creates thunder. Seems to have more range that I expected. - She can also use that freezing device I saw. It does tremendous chip damage, kinda like Amane, or at least that's what I saw in another video. - She has a railgun too. And drills too. - Apart from the Giant Tager X super, she has one that hits for little damage but seems to appear at the opponent position. Don't know if you can combo after it. The other makes her send a really big fireball, and while it wasn't shown, I'm sure it's also affected by the Gravity device. You can combo after the super, which will probably make it the most used super for Kokonoe. - OOOOOMG with her Golden Giant Tager X (aka the Overdrive version of the super). Takes a lot of time to activate, which isn't a problem if the opponent can't do anything if he's been trapped with the Gravity device and the fireball. It literally eats the Guard bar like nothing, and I'm sure I can expect the same for the lifebar. - I like her Guard pose LOL. The same for her Win pose.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Xhominid on September 22, 2013, 08:34:59 pm
- The Gravity effect seems to be strong. I mean, it seems the other player has some problems about moving away from it if it's been triggered and he's really close. Tager players will have lots of trouble for getting away from it. - Her Gravity device works even if she's hit, so it makes cornering her in the corner kind of hard sometimes since you're pushed further away when the opponent blocks, making some attacks be out of reach if you're not careful. - She can also make the Gravity device repel for one time by spending some Gravity bar. This disables the Gravity device and has to be set again. - She can teleport to where she set her Gravity device (if she doesn't have a Gravity device set she teleports for a short distance). The teleportation is fast, which makes it an excellent choice to escape from the corner or catch the opponent from the back. Tbh, I'm not really sure if the Gravity device does affect the teleport, as I haven't seen any moment in which she teleported far away but it wasn't set. - The fireball she launches gets attracted and/or repelled by the Gravity device. The fireball seems to have huge hitboxes, and it can be quite unpredictable to figure out where it will appear since the opponent can decide the right moment to set the device to screw you. - She has a rocket punch LOL. Sends the opponent to the corner. It's a hit&grab attack, it seems. - The other device she can use is a mine that creates thunder. Seems to have more range that I expected. - She can also use that freezing device I saw. It does tremendous chip damage, kinda like Amane, or at least that's what I saw in another video. - She has a railgun too. And drills too. - Apart from the Giant Tager X super, she has one that hits for little damage but seems to appear at the opponent position. Don't know if you can combo after it. The other makes her send a really big fireball, and while it wasn't shown, I'm sure it's also affected by the Gravity device. You can combo after the super, which will probably make it the most used super for Kokonoe. - OOOOOMG with her Golden Giant Tager X (aka the Overdrive version of the super). Takes a lot of time to activate, which isn't a problem if the opponent can't do anything if he's been trapped with the Gravity device and the fireball. It literally eats the Guard bar like nothing, and I'm sure I can expect the same for the lifebar. - I like her Guard pose LOL. The same for her Win pose.
I agree with you on that last part. Nothing is more hilarious than seeing Kokonoe just ride off on her segway like it was another day at the office.

They said the announcement was about "THAT game". Hopefully it's not not about Xblaze or whatever (That's very likely though)
I still don't know if I'm importing, I'm having way too much fun with ASB and I'd like to have English text for the story (Then again, if the Asia version gets that then there's little to no incentive for me to wait until March, other games are getting released in March like Jump VS and supposedly Ultra SFIV)

I'm getting the Asian version (Hong Kong store) so if you don't know by then I'll let ya know.

You aren't lying at all... True, Kokonoe has terrible defenses(about the same level as Terumi, ironic...), but her insane power from her traps and abilities...eh, these vids show it off far better than I can name...

4000 damage with no power combos for Kokonoe. Wow at that. If she was like Hakume or Tager I would understand, but this is quite insane for her. She needs to be nerfed LOL.
Also, as I thought, the ice attack does the same insane chip damage as the drill attacks with Amane. Seriously, block this without a barrier and prepare to lose tremendous amount of health.

Post by: Zero-Sennin on November 09, 2013, 05:50:20 am
Also, that last combo blew both her Overdrive and over 100 Heat. Ragna's only about 500 points under the average health measure in the game (10,500 vs. 11,000), but that makes a big difference too, like Shwa pointed out.
It might still be a problem, particularly if no one else can reach similar damage with similar conditions, but she's not even been out a week yet. People need to quit calling her broken and let tech get settled and picked apart first before they come to a final conclusion.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Shwa on November 09, 2013, 07:23:43 am
she has some stupid shit, i will admit, and her damage is retardedly high
granted you can actually land anything
the thing i noticed with kokonoe is that for the most part she relies on people being thirsty on her own she can't do much in terms of space control outside of her good run, ADs, nice air pokes and gravs, but grav setups are easily avoidable and you can't do much off a nice fireball 2B and 3C are easily readable and 6B seems to be her only ground overhead with Jin-tier startup (though delayable) 236B combos imply you managed to sneak a juggle in and have carried the opponent in the corner to allow stuff as deadly as literally anyone else can do in the corner, like rachel with free 6k for two silphs off of midscreen stagger
what's actually worth being concerned about, though, is the existence of her 632146D unblockable setup, but it has been proven to be avoidable by some (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk20a7PTsSU) arcsys just need to adjust how the OD works in corners and it should be fine

Sure thing - hopping on right now. I'm opening a player match room called Mugen Guild, it's public so go ahead and join once you see it. I've been having problems connecting when I invite or when I get invited to a game.

I'll give it a shot as soon as I see your room. Posted: November 16, 2013, 05:50:17 am I've tried numerous times but I don't think it's going to let me in. I'm in Texas if it makes any difference.

Nice match vids Ares, especially Haku feints into counter. I can tell there was some lag from those vida, is the netcode that bad?
BTW can anyone tell me if V-13 gets Gravity Seed's invincible start-up like in CS back?

Post by: Seraphs Ares on November 16, 2013, 06:01:32 am
Netcode isn't that bad, honestly. It's mostly my internet. I usually have a slight input lag (I'd say a good 0.5 sec) during 0's which is really surprising. During 2+ connections there isn't much of a bad lag - there is one thing I will say though.. ..I disconnect a lot - especially after the match.

This is Battle Fantasia/Dead Or Alive 5 local invites all over again. Guess the only way for your two to meet is through someone else's lobby and hope you get paired on the next round. Had that problem in several games and when it came to public rooms usually me and my friend meet.

@Kirishima: Her distortions have changed too. You can only use Legacy Edge in her Lambda mode and Calamity Sword in her regular mode. I've seen V-13's constantly change during the matches.
@Erasure Empress: I'm on right now - I'm staying up a bit since I'm off tomorrow. If you can make it tonight, make a room and hopefully both MC and I can join in that said room.

So yeah if it hasn't been working for me all day I'd rather not be a burden, you guys have fun though. Also I've been playing Kokonoe predominately and I know nobody wants to deal with that.

Well, you didn't get a lot of experience with Kokonoe in that match against GF202020. He didn't use the Graviton even once, which is a must for her.
For what I see, you're good at using Hakumen. Some of the moves you've done in the videos were quite good.

Wait, what made Hakumen (main) good? It was CS:EX if I'm not mistaken.
Hakumen's power more comes from this game than EX. And it mainly comes from the fact that he's alot more combo-like now, combined with the fact his Overdrive is Infinity, Hakumen can easily kick your ass with only a few characters that can match up and turn it around.

So Japan never had to deal with this since the Arcade version doesn't have her yet... just learned that.

I wouldn't say Kokonoe is broken, just that she's OP. As having her itself isn't an "I Win" button compared to the likes of say CT Nu or CT Rachel or the DLC characters when they started out.

That's what I always wanted. It's too bad such a feature would most likely be console-exclusive and thus both unbalanced and not encouraged for competitive play. (like GG Slash allowed you to play #Reload counterparts, which was amazing cool but still) Then again, if it happens it could end up like ST and everyone shrugs.
But even then I would be using CT Bang because he's the one I'm the most comfortable with, even though it's his worst incarnation yet.
I just want CT Jin so I can get easy wins and piss people off in the process.

In all honesty, I only cared about Blazblue for the storyline and music. But now there's only gameplay left to go with... has Rachel been buffed in Extend(don't have a copy)? I know that she's weak in the regular version of Continuum Shift. Also, I guess getting trophies in CS and CT is going to be rough, considering that online is dead in those two iterations.

If you don't get a a 1st print retail copy, you'll have to wait 2 months to get Terumi. (http://segmentnext.com/2014/03/25/ps3-blazblue-chrono-phantasma-shipping-north-america/)

Separately, you’ll be able to pick up the Kokonoe DLC immediately after launch, but Yuuki Terumi will follow on May 27, 2014.
Hm, about this, what is first print copies exactly? The first available set of retail versions? I pre-ordered mine from amazon, and yesterday they started shipping, it seems. Will it be the first print or not? P.S. meh, I guess the shipment will arrive in a month or so for me, Russia's post service is probably the worst in the world.

Yes. Chances are any bought within the next few months will be first print copies. It maybe tough to find them in the future because my local Gamestop hardly got any copies as most went to preorders. I was only 1 of 2 that even preordered the CE there. I doubt it was much better at other retailers. Buying new online is the safest bet to get a first run.

That a aside, that was a pretty ignorant statement, MD.
I kinda agree with Pack's review but I will admit he worded some stuff rather oddly and might have not explored the game much before saying things like the game having bad ends in the story mode (as with the older games), unless he meant the joke endings.

ASW US finally tell people why the US version has no Library mode.
Basically they admit they're lazy useless cunts that can't be arsed to try to translate the story and fighting terms into things people can understand, or even say what they mean.
ASW US localised the game themselves and not Aksys this time around. Apparently Arc Sys were too cheap to ask them back.

I read that yesterday and it irks me quite a bit. They have the nerve to charge $8 for a DLC character and they sure took their sweet time "localizing" the game (With tons of typos and incorrect descriptions and dubtitles) and they couldn't even do a proper job? Sure it's a lot of text to translate but it's their job. Disgusting.

They had 6 months. There is no fucking excuse. What, did they expend all of their effort shoehorning in old and fucktarded memes into the dialogue or something just as stupid?
And the DLC price is just fucking sickening. People go on about Capcom's DLC stuff and all that but I'm fairly certain they never charged $8 for one fucking character or charge more than around $5 or so for a fucking alternate costume on its own. (Apart from the SFxTK misstep)
To avoid this turning into what I fear it'd turn into, Arc System Works fucking dropped the ball with this one. Might as well buy the next one used I guess

ASW USA is a pretty new company iirc. Guess it's going to take them awhile to find some good talent (seems more like they didn't put much too much thought in who they hired).
Still disappointing (and inexcusable) being how long it took. Even short on money, I've could've imported but I decided to wait for the US version since BlazBlue has historically had good localization courtesy of Aksys. If I knew it'd be this bad, would've just imported.
ArcSys USA published AC+R and handled that horribly as well. Kinda reminds me of 90's SNK when they were trying to strengthen their US HQ. Too bad for ArcSys they have to do it in a time where everyone will rip their asses for blatant missteps.

Old stages were in the arcade version as story-exclusive. Most if not all the content was already on the disc in Japan. Kokonoe arrived via patch files.

Made me realize, two characters for $8 each, one as a timed pre-order exclusive already in the game, the other arriving via day 1 patch. Comparisons to SFxT earlier just made me realize how ironic that people thought $20 for 12 characters who were not even ready for launch was criminal, yet this gets a free pass.
Also the recent Decapre joke outbreak just made me notice Terumi is nearly the exact same deal to a major extent. Pretty funny actually.

The planned content was there, but if you actually enabled the characters for use before the patch came out, they were littered with bugs, janky animation and barely any functionality. I remember Dudley had some moves that did not even hit and Blanka had some weird debug meter gain. Some characters also had missing voice samples that were just not in there yet.
It was clear that at the time, the characters themselves were simply just being worked on.

Better ArcSys USA makes their mistakes now than in GGXrd (assuming they wind up with publishing responsibilities).
Aksys Games will publish ChronoPhantasma for the PSV, release is 6/24. (http://www.siliconera.com/2014/04/11/bring-blazblue-chrono-phantasma-vita-beach-june-24/)

Hakumen didn't get hit as badly as I thought he would (but Azreal and Litchi got off free despite all 3 being around the same level pre-patch). Tager is awful because... Tager; Makoto is laughably bad. :( Mid/low-tier characters are still mid/low-tier (nice job). Good characters are basically better since no one was substantially improved.
Kokonoe: still the best (she's just a bit less braindead now as if that means anything).

Oh, I'm sorry that Tager can be played like a huge monster if used correctly like Zangief is too much for you. But go on ahead, keep acting like an ass, doesn't take any skin off my bones. Gadget Finger can still go **** off.
EDIT: Let me make this more brief, You call me ignorant when people show characters like Zangief and Tager, who get the tools that they have already and with the right amount of dedication, can pretty much own most characters pretty damn easily? The tier list doesn't even seem to nerf Tager into the damn ground as it does for say, Valk or make somewhat worse than he already is like Makoto. The only real nerf I see that really affects him on some level is Gadget Finger losing the Heat it once had and and his 2D. He got a better J.2C and his Backdash became even more godlike.

Tager? The one character who has been BOTTOM TIER in pretty much every game? Maybe you just... suck? Any character can be a monster while used correctly. And you act as if Tager was the only character who got buffs, everyone got useful tools (Even Makoto, even though they're not as useful as everyone else's)

It's a coincidence that I was reading a tier list thread where one of the rules said "posts will be limited so that needless conflicts about character tiers don't happen" and stuff.
BlazBlue is one of those games where the mechanics really aid in balancing the cast. Unless a character is as good as Kokonoe, they don't mean that much at the end of the day.

OK, I sort of knew that Tager was low tier, but hey... I knew what I got into in CS.
Here, it seems like his backdash got a huge buff (20 frames of invincibility on a 23 frame backdash is nothing to sneeze at) and that's it. It's just the nature of the beast: Unless you're good with him (or be like me and use Stylish mode), you aren't getting far.

Of course you don't have a valid counterargument to your whining so that's your best rebuttal. Please either grow up or at least get decent at the game so you can support your whining in a valid way.
Once again, shut up Shadow Dio, I don't need your shit and I don't ever expect you to see anything from my perspective.
It's a coincidence that I was reading a tier list thread where one of the rules said "posts will be limited so that needless conflicts about character tiers don't happen" and stuff.
BlazBlue is one of those games where the mechanics really aid in balancing the cast. Unless a character is as good as Kokonoe, they don't mean that much at the end of the day.
Ignoring stupidity is not a strong point of mine...
It wasn't about ignoring stupidity though; it was about making posts that resemble the kind of messages I get after trolling people online. :P
Well I'm sorry that I can't control my temper when someone insults me over a game character, especially when it's been made known Tager didn't really suffer any real loss past 5A.
xhominid you need to cool down and take a break. i wont tolerate people throwing annoying temper tantrums here. stop responding with ultra defensive insults or its over for you for a couple days.
So TempesT bitch at me because I'm not a fan of Tager and not even as a matchup, just not a fan of Tager. So when I pretty much explain my reason, he snaps at me like a child, so when I had a meltdown because of my "ignorance" and not him basically insulting me even further, I deserve the banhammer and massive ridicule, but TempesT gets off free...

Ignoring stupidity is not a strong point of mine, no matter how obvious the guy is. And I'm not a fan of reporting someone because that's not me.
You're gonna have to learn how to if you want to avoid incidents like this in the future. If you feel someone is out of line, then you have two options: you can report it because that's how the forum and the moderation system on it works, or you can ignore the insults and move on with the thread, and be the better man.
Going on a tirade and hurling insults is not acceptable. Neither is ignoring multiple requests by mods to cut it out and continuing the derailment of the thread. Think over this stuff over the next 3 days.

personally, as better of a character she is compared to everyone else, why is there even a need to give her another super? it's like adding a pistol to BFG.....uneccessary really, but then again, who knows how soon we'll even get this patch, as this has been mentioned to me for a few months now and no word of when we'll even get this patch yet.

I do think the Tier list here can't be really exact... Amane is on the bottom and I manage to win against to those top tiers once... seems IMO that Blaz Blue is really extense and diverse to classify the characters so easily...
and, I'm not a Tager player, but I do think he is a beast, no the best, but I don't think he deserves any buff, he is really powerful the way he is (was?)
the character that annoys me the most is Bullet and Ragna, they do deserve some nerfs, but some people awnt Bullet buffed and I can't understand why, I think she is really powerful...
all depends on the player, and we all will have different opinions always...

my hard time with her is when she is attaking-zoning... the only possible and useful way to send her back is using the counter attack... but, if I don't have the counter attack, I'm mostly in a great troubles (maning Amane again, maybe other chars are better to pull off Bullet)

Stance characters are often fun; seldom are they executed badly. Too bad Kagura's unlock condition is all kinds of moronic (enjoy the painfully long story mode) and I don't believe there's any other way that's more convenient.
Lots of characters can use buffs, just to increase their viability. Terumi, Amane, Bullet, Izayoi (can't answer on how her moveset is and stuff); I could go on. Tager certainly; he's been pretty down there for nearly the series entirety. I guess they don't want to make his moves too powerful since he has more health than everyone else (a choice I've never agreed with btw). I'm surprised that Kagura isn't more powerful tbh.

Creator Toshimichi Mori wants to port BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma to the PS4, explores the (im)possibility of making Celica, Nine and Jubei playable (http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/apr/23/creator-toshimichi-mori-wants-port-blazblue-chrono-phantasma-ps4-explores-impossibility-making-celica-nine-and-jubei-playable/)
Quote
--- That's quite a bit of battery recharging you've got to do (laughs). Well, in the meantime, what about porting Chrono Phantasma to a new platform? Like, for instance, the PlayStation 4?
Mori: This is just my personal opinion, but I'd absolutely love to port the game over to the PS4. If we do end up doing it, we'd have to come up with some exclusive features for the PS4 version.
Quote
--- Celica is an incredibly popular character. Aren't there a lot of requests to make her into a playable character?
Mori: Well... in Celica's case, is there even any way we could make her playable? Celica can't fight, you know that, right?
--- While it's true that she can't fight... Well, okay. What about the remainder of the Six Heroes? Nine and Jubei?
Mori: I'd love to make Nine a playable character, but... As for Jubei, it'd be pretty difficult to implement him into the game... but due to his small size, we won't be able to make him playable unless we manage to clear that hurdle.
--- I see. Because of Jubei's size, his hurtboxes would make a lot of attacks whiff.
Mori: And because you won't be able to hit him as often, Jubei would be a character who's quite stressful to play against. So if we were to make him playable, we'd have to do something like what we did with Carl's hat, or Rachel's manservants -- use gimmicks to increase the size of his hurtboxes.
--- Ah, that makes sense. Rachel has surprisingly wide hitboxes. What if Jubei were to don on his armour from when he fought the Black Beast? (Laughs)
Mori: But up until now he's always been depicted wearing a hood. If we were to suddenly make him appear in armour, that might be a little much...
Because changing a characters outfit for when they become playable would be so weird good thing Makoto was running around half naked before she became playable would of been weird to have a new outfit.
I have heard good stuff about Kagura too. What about Izayoi though? Is she alright?
People say she is terrible i think she is decent revolves around how you build and manage the Type Zero Gauge in my experience i find the faster I'm able to build the gauge the better i do since that's where her combo's and damage come from the most though i'm still learning how to use her so i may be missing something.

They could've at least made the unlock condition less tedious.
Fast forwarded story mode is about as much of a hassle as farming for either Saiki or Billy in XIII (read: not so much) and is around like, what, 35 minutes?

For combos and damage? Nigga she needs gauge to even get in. Gain Art is like the most unfortunately cursed gimmick because the only chances you get to use it is when you've gotten around using her normal mode well enough to just ditch it entirely come the time you get enough stocks. It's so much micromanagement over a rather average character that the effort doesn't even seem worth it.
Then again, she won tourneys over in Japan. I don't exactly remember who the player was (either Shimotsuki or Buppa) but I watched an Urban Square regional and whoever was using her was just making everyone so damn free, it was amazing.

Thought it was longer since story is now one unified script instead of being based on character.

I'm sure Platinum is intentionally designed that way (character design are taken into consideration in regards to balancing). Even so, maybe they could improve some of her other attributes (yeah she's far from overpowered as well).

Meh, the only thing Unlimited Characters are good for is either to make certain achievements easy to unlock or to have bizarre unfair fights against others. I can live without unlocking them. Though I agree that making you pay for it is stupid. I would have preferred that you could use in-game money to unlock them, with a huge amount required to unlock only one of them.
And about the thing of making other characters playable, they may say that certain characters are impossible to make them playable, but seriously, they didn't have any problem making Rise in Persona 4 Ultimax playable by conveniently making her Persona battle-oriented when it's established in Persona 4 that it can't fight. And that was with a character of another game. I wouldn't be surprised if they suddenly added some "story" or something that makes them playable.

that's why I say everyone will have different opinions... I use Amane, it's not top tier, it's on the bottom list, and guess what? I won a lot with him, and my bros think he is not low tier and I recently fought against another Amane player that was beastly, even INSANE, making lots of damage... funny thing I manage to won, but at the same time I was thinking Amane needs a nerf... but... a nerf being a low tier and bottom list?
good thing is, this patch will make things more balanced, that's why it's done and we will see how it works

if other wise, would be cool to know...
Titiln: si se ke es top tier (segun yo), y entiendo la mayoria de cosas ke dicen y ellos son los ke parecen ke no saben jugar Blaz Blue, si para ellos un "top tier" es un dios casi inderrotable, abusivo o simplemente usado por medio mundo pues esa es su idea, pero yo no me "caso" con eso... es cuestion de saber usar a los personajes, y lo ke les repito es ke Amane es el mas bajo de todos en la lista, y para mi, minimo ese personaje deberia estar entre los primeros 5... por eso defiendo el "es cuestion de opiniones"... y les digo tambien, ke si quieren ke lo pruebe, estoy abierto al reto :) (en spanish para dejarlo claro)

Wrong as always. Make a proper research about tiers (You know, fundamental knowledge, there's SRK or any other website) instead of parroting whatever your brother or a friend says. Tiers aren't "unbeatable gods", but tiers are factual results and you keep mixing facts with opinions.

Post by: NiO KuSaNaGi on May 01, 2014, 04:57:03 am
not gonna say your are wrong, but I'm still keeping my opinion about it...
let's make it more nicely... what does make Amane a low tier character? because, like I said before, my OPINION is, he is not a low tier, he has pretty good long range attacks, nice mixups, huge damage, easy combos and nice zoning... doesn't that make him strong against other chars and should be classified better and not as a low tier (bottom list)?
I'm asking nicely, sorry if I fail to express my ideas here x)
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma

not gonna say your are wrong, but I'm still keeping my opinion about it...
your opinion on top tier ("overpowered" or user-friendly) is wrong. top tier doesn't mean guaranteed victory if you use that character. unless a character is undoubtedly broken, player skill is always the bigger factor at play. what tiers mean is that, assuming that both players are highly and roughly equally skilled (which is why tier lists are mostly built around tournament results), certain characters have a better chance at winning than others. but it's not guaranteed at all. if you repeatedly defeat SD using a lower tier character it probably just means that you're better than SD, it doesn't mean that the tiers need to be reorganized

What titiln said.
Quote
It should be noted that tiers only effect two people facing each other of equal skill. Tier lists tend to change over time when new strategies and such are found for fighters, so there is truly no "final" version of a tier list
Seriously, make your own research or use common sense, and again, opinions are not facts.

those are exactly my thoughts... I play with skilled people, that's why I said everyone could have a different opinion about it... even if its a fact that some other characters have more chances to win in different situations than others... (Ragna & Kokonoe I'm looking at you)... it all depends of skill...
but... if me or you can beat various skilled players using top tier chars with a low tier char, there's 2 possible things about it... 1- you are pretty good 2- he is not really a low tier, just not that "simple" as others, and people underrate that character (--desvalora?--)
and, I'm going for the second option, I repeat, that's my opinion about it, there's always some awesome characters that most of the people fail to master or just don't like their gameplay, and go with the easier ones, Iori, Kyo, Ryu, Guile, Sol Badguy, Azrael, Ragna, Kasumi, Hayabusa, etc etc they have a better chance to win in a equally skilled fight? yeah... does that makes them the best? no, just kinda abusable, less random and more practical in the game... unless the top tier term define that, there's other less practical chars that can be equality destructive or even more abusable, like Tagger with his throws and combos or Amane with his longe range and drill moves (that's just sick)
then top tier = practical + effective? (my concept was kinda similar, but going more into the balance-broken thing about a char, in fact, that was my hole idea was, the more "broken+effective a character is, the more "top tier" I thought it was, and that's why I said Amane didn't look like a low tier at all to me)

"easy" or "simple" characters are not always top tier. there's no direct correlation. you mention ryu and guile, they're largely not considered top tier in ssf4ae. http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/173987/ssf4-ae-2012-tier-list-thread-op-last-updated-october-2013 as you can tell from that thing, tier lists aren't set in stone and there are several different lists. they're not as rigid as you believe they are.

Yes you keep talking about "your opinion" tiers are factual (To a certain extent), they're not opinions.
Bullet is low tier (You know, the whole thing that started this argument) and she doesn't deserve any nerfs whatsoever, if you keep disagreeing then it's your own problem and you're not skilled against that character, the character needs all the help she needs to get in and do some damage.

"easy" or "simple" characters are not always top tier. there's no direct correlation. you mention ryu and guile, they're largely not considered top tier in ssf4ae.
I was waiting until the topic got to this, if ease of use is what makes a character top tier in your player group, it just means your player group is too unskilled to even be talking about tiers.

what about ct arakune, cs1 bang, cs2 makoto and cp hakumen tho :V
by logic of the latter statement, tager should be higher than bottom because the little tager players out there who even get on a competitive level know how to use a character widely regarded as shitty because he basically relies on players to have bad reads and when that happens they get bopped
i wouldn't exactly call souji a scrub for being free to good tagers either, especially since arakune vs tager is kind of a too good matchup given the space control and tager's near inability to avoid getting opened up by either curse or average poke game until he gets magnetism in.
Spoiler: additional blah blah fuck this i'm going to school(click to see content)
tiers are factual results, yes, but they are also subject to change and they don't just pop out of nowhere - players themselves (of reputable status) make them because they are made for them. and it doesn't exactly mean that matchups are indefinitely bad, it is first and foremost opinions by average ratio based on actual matchup experience. remember when cp valk was considered terrible until more people fucked around with him for like one more week after being declared so bad after like the first five months of arcade life? whatever happened to that? high level players found out on their own that being a huge slut by practicing insanely good rushdown - because new wolf normals, properties and movement lock you the fuck down in corner until you time a good IB, spend a minute in barrier or hope to not get exposed on jump back - as opposed to baiting fatals like in csex, was a better method of play and quickly moved up. lol #FuckValkenhayn
not targeting anyone, but talking about tiers here is kinda pointless if you're not gonna rely on them seriously since it's not just some concrete character status list nor are they something just anybody can freely refer to in general. jus sayin'

Does people even look at tiers when selecting a character to play? I'm sure the majority of people pick a character based on how well it fits their type of fighting style or how much they like it, rather than its tier.

yeah, the amount of players who pick a character based on tier is small, just very vocal. hell, even some competitive players try to pick underdogs ebcause as shwa's post implied sometimes what those characters need is to be use more so their actual strenght can be found, nto to mention that sometimes underdogs have favorable match ups because people don't know how to play against them (like early kof98 ralf)

why should he be higher if ease of use is not a factor ?
I may have worded it wrong but what I meant to say was not that because of his variable learning curve and gimmicks, whatever very, very few competitive Tagers are out there are either just starting, exposing peeps to matchup inexperience of a certain level, or just good to the point of steamrolling everyone effortlessly. The two latter form the majority, but the last one is less present. Those who are considered lower tier aren't necessarily underdogs until a high enough amount of players with similar interest just agree they aren't a threat to their current standings, a lot of the times because they are believed to be explored to the fullest and therefore predictable. You may have a spontaneous and very odd Bullet focusing her entire game on using unconventional strats like using any D that's not 5D to gain unimaginable oki or playing a very safe neutral game instead of the average typically telegraphed pressure for some very nasty surprises, though that is never the usual intended playstyle.
The examples I named were characters that didn't demand that much skill and still managed to get top spots. I forgot to mention CP Hazama. Pre-patch, he was stupid to the point of just having j.CCC*delay*xxxxxxxxxxxx as a valid strat, it's practically fapping on air. Not to mention all his C normals are good, counter into Jayoku was free, 6A/B confirms into Jayoku were free, and braindead meterless 6k's the moment he's in the corner and gets a 623D. I know other easier characters don't have it as good but they are far too few in comparison to several at the top of each game which is why I questioned the claim of ease of use.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Bastard Mami on May 02, 2014, 07:31:28 pm
we are getting in a point where our definitions of ease of use and effectiveness start to overlap, like a characters has movement that are very easy to use,let's say normals and that they are very effective yet another character that is higher needs you to perform special moves as his basics are not as good; the first character has got more ease of use, but the second character has a higher tier even if it's harder to use; what I mean is that for players for whom the first character is more effective as they win more fights by mashing C instead of properly timing half circles talking about tiers is pretty pointless they are not even at a level where that matters.
it's like two kids who can't even drive in standar arguing about which sports car is better than the other assuming they will be racing each other, it was kinda directed more at nio/thedge's mention of some chaarcetrs being higher tier because they are easier to use.

exactly this... I have seen people (pretty damn skilled people) using Chin, Chang and Choi in KOF02, most of the time winning the fight without loosing a single character, and I'm sure in that game those chars are the less used, but that doesn't mean they are bad, probably we are the "bad players".
"easy" or "simple" characters are not always top tier. there's no direct correlation. you mention ryu and guile, they're largely not considered top tier in ssf4ae. http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/173987/ssf4-ae-2012-tier-list-thread-op-last-updated-october-2013 as you can tell from that thing, tier lists aren't set in stone and there are several different lists. they're not as rigid as you believe they are.
so... then my opinions on Bullet could be right? Because that statement about tier lists changing over the time, is what I was talking about at first, they are not in stone and I was saying some of them are wrong to me, that's why I said those are my opinions (you call them facts at first, stating I was wrong or I was just bad)... Amane, Bullet and also Tager are not low tier in my opinion...
if you think Amane deserves to be down in the list of tiers, probably you haven't played against an skilled Amane or you don't like his gameplay...
and I'm aware of balance patchs over the games, Kung Lao in MK9 was just friendly as hell at first, nearly every command was safe to him, that in my opinion made him top tier, and of course he was one of the few chars that was nerfed in every single update, until he wasn't really a top tier one... in my case I used to play with Platinum, she was easy and destructive... she is still easy, but not as simple and destructive like she was before (and hell she needed that update even if I was happy before)
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Niitris on May 02, 2014, 08:33:27 pm
Tier lists are subjective. You can have your own tier list. It would be correct on whatever level your playing the game in (which I doubt is tournament-level play).
Example: CT Jin was grossly OP to anyone who wasn't on an intermediate level, but wasn't that overwhelming in high level play.
But let me say a few things... Do you know *insert character here's* best wake-up options? Do you know their best pressure tools? Do you know their best spacing moves? Do you know the ideal situation to use them in?
If you answers to any of these isn't supported with factual information, then your opinion of 'who's strong and who isn't' doesn't hold as much weight as the opinions of community websites.
These and several other questions are taken into account when making tier lists (and those were the basics, I haven't even gotten into frame data, how the frame data relates to the rest of the cast and the game mechanics that go with them, et cetera).
Tons and tons of research goes into making tier lists by multiple players, all of which dissect the game to the smallest nuance. Chances are, they know what they're talking about.
TL;DR : Strong characters are dependent on level of play, tier lists are seen as correct because of the amount of research.
EDIT: Small note, but nerfing characters makes a game less fun (outside of cases like Kokonoe and ST Akuma). Characters are supposed to have strong tools. Nerfing characters who don't need them makes them less viable, appealing (to play), and hurts the game overall.

It honestly depends on the nerfs in question. They still need to make sense for the character to be what they are, but that doesn't suddenly mean to turn Ryu from a Jack of All Stats to basically being a Lightning Bruiser or making Jin from Invincibility Master to just plain up making him crazy.
Characters should fit exactly what they've been made for, the difficulty of their style and the rewards FOR that technique.
Nerfing should be done if you make a character too good in an area they aren't supposed to be good at or if it's a detriment to another character in that same area.
And this tier nonsense honestly needs to stop. You can have everyone say Bullet and Amane sucks until someone shows up with those characters and utterly stomp you into the dirt with them because they discovered something no one else bothered to see. Mechanics are pretty much set in stone and even frame data and moves only go so far before simple ingenuity and practice settle into the picture. It doesn't matter how weak a character is in certain respects as long as you know your opponent AND that one characters' strength just that much. I mean, I always see how Carl and Relius are never really talked about all that much compared to Haku-men, Tao, Valk, Azrael and Kokonoe, but I still see them handing everyone their asses pretty effortlessly and control the field just that damn hard. I see the exact same thing with Litchi, Noel(both versions), Ragna and Rachel and even the "bad" characters or not really used AS MUCH like Izayoi can easily have their fun in the sun.
Tiers can only take you so far, which is why it's so stupid people depend on them then only use those characters, making it easier when a "bad" one comes out of nowhere and surprises everyone.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: NiO KuSaNaGi on May 04, 2014, 12:39:59 pm
well, sometimes nerfs are needed, because having a broken character can make the game less fun, even if you are competitive enough to won
Kung Lao desesperaly needed a nerf in MK9, it was just injustice to fight against him even if you were pretty good, nearly the same with Cyrax... they got nerf after nerf and that didn't make them bad, just less abusable and simple, and of course more competitive...
curious thing was NRS made the opposite on Injustice, instead of just nerfing overpowered characters, they buffed those weak ones to be in pair with the strong ones, so now, we have a more balanced roster
anyways, we need to wait to see if those updates really affect the characters to make them bullsh1t and less enjoyable or make a more decent and fun game for all styles (because this game is an excellent option to a lot of players that enjoy variety and different characters- techniques)

Kinda bullshit move, specially when they could have added Celica as a selectable character from the beginning seeing how important she was in the Story mode. It doesn't make sense that they add Lambda-11 though, she was just there to temporally replace Nu-13. They may even add more characters like they did in CS too. Wasn't there a Ragna female version showed before, for example?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we got something similar to what happened with Continuum Shift, with all the II and Extend versions. In fact, most likely they will release a new version as they can't probably add those characters in the game without changing it a lot. I suggest you not to buy the new version until half a year passes and if no announcement has been made of a new version, then buy it (I recommend you to sell the older version so you can use the money you get to pay less for the new).

I'd love to give ArcSys the benefit of doubt to any degree but considering they even said there wouldn't be DLC characters for ChronoPhantasma (which of course was not followed through), nothing would be a surprise at this point.
And if they're claiming that a puppet character is "good for beginners", she most likely won't work like a puppet character in Blazblue, but similar to how some of the Personas from certain characters fight in P4Arena.

If this is a mere content update for arcades and not an entire clusterfuck of changes like Extend was, I don't see why it would warrant a new disc as there isn't anymore story to cover.

Welp, I've been reading around in Dustloop and it appears Lambda appearance affects Nu. With that, I mean that Nu loses her Mode Change so Lambda is the only one using Luna form, so Nu will only use Dia form. Oh, and they will really release a new game, called BBCP2. Links below to check the info:
So basically, if this is true (and I think we can trust Dustloop on that), ASW has just screwed with all us by splitting a character in two. So basically what we're really getting is a new release for just one character. Great fucking work, ASW.

Remember, this is still not confirmed. And I hope it's false, because Nu with Mode change is far more interesting than Nu with Dia mode only and Lambda with Luna mode. Apart from the fact that it doesn't make sense that Lambda is alive. At least in Nu's case they could pull off a "You never saw her die." while in Lambda's case that's just not possible.

We already had an explanation in BBCS, Nu's body was somehow being repaired after the damage she sustained while she was in the Cauldron. This could be because of her connection to Saya or the Cauldron itself(I believe that what the cliffhanger was when Hazama and Relius was looking over something), but that's why Nu came back. But yeah, Lambda literally makes no sense past Chronophantasma.

Quote
Celica fights together with Minerva, an automated doll (Ex Machina) created by Kokonoe. Differing from the Clover father and son, however, she is being created as a introductory character that you can recommend to someone playing BlazBlue for the first time.
She possesses all the moves that make up the foundation of fighting games, so I hope that people who have never played a fighting game but are interested in Celica try her.
The cute Celica and cool Minerva are a must-see!
--
Lambda is based on the Luna Forma in BBCP. She feels similar in use to Nu, but all of her D attacks have different functions. She cannot use the special move Act Parcer, but she can can use Act Parcer Zwei. With the D Button, you can halt the opponent’s movement and surprise attack them.
I like what I've seen of Celica.

I'm hoping for an update for this game, IMO Azrael is still broken, I was playing with some friends and we discover that he can make his super unblockable, you will not block even using the super guard, and it's easy as hell to do, just use Azrael, put the upper arrow and do the Super... you will not be able to block in any circumstance, we tried it on training with many different options and CPU and still the same result, with this said, any Azrael player would take a serious advantage with this... seems "undiscovered" because I haven't seen Azrael players doing this online, and believe me, it really helps in any circumstance, because if you hit, you jump, you block, you crouch, you do anything it will hit you
also, about my last post about Amane, I think I wasn't wrong about it, I still use him and he got a lot of nerfs, the drill from the ground dissapears now if hit, the drill itself decreases a lot faster, levels decreases faster too, charge only works if you hit (before it was not necessary), charge is slower, and that's what I can remember right now, I hope they just tweak something else to make it more challenging, he lost a lot of presure with those changes, if he wasn't kinda "broken" he wouldn't get only nerfs... anyways...
is there any balance patch list already out there? o:

You discovered stuff that been known in the arcades since day 1/info that's available in every faq (And possibly in-game) and you think one of his minor gimmicks is "broken"? Good job. Play more people other than your small group of friends, play good people online or just read more about the game (You can, you know, check Dustloop).
Also he gets more damage and better set ups off Valiant Charge and Hornet Bunker combos than the gimmicky unblockable (Unless you have meter to RC and the corner and continue the combo), also his super has no invincibility frames whatsoever and you can get out of blockstrings with meter or if you OD at the right moment.
And yes, you're still wrong about Amane, Makoto was C tier and she got nerfed so your point is moot.

yeah, I have been watching online fights, watched EVO14 finals and have been playing online and so far no one has used that thing...
anyways I suppose you can show me one single video or faq where this is already show (or said), because I haven't see it before and you say it's known since the first day, would glady watch and learn about it... I'm more about playing it than reading about it, but will wait to for it

this thing makes me believe I fail to express my point or you fail to understand it... I already know all that... I'm not talking about it... I'm talking about a nearly spameable move were you can't move or do anything because the move will hit you 100% sure with or without combo, so, having 2 specials nearly guarantees you the victory, you just have to slam a move and do the super, and that's not difficult at all... that seriously needs to be tweaked because gaining meter with Azrael isn't difficult

Because it's not THAT broken, it's gimmicky, easy to avoid and the only real way to do damage is to use all your meter? (RC and then corner combo) A better way to use that better is to RC if you do unsafe ,moves. Just because you didn't know it doesn't mean you just discovered some amazing glitch.

Black Hawk Stinger (236236D) - Long distance rush followed by a huge punch. Covers lots of space, has quick start-up, but does not have any real substantial invincibility. Standing unblockable with upper weak point and crouching unblockable with lower weakpoint. Unblockable if both weakpoints are applied. Anything with special cancel can go into BHS for the unblockable. Can still be air barrier guarded though. Mostly used as a combo ender for extra damage. Overdrive BHS CH leads to huge damage. 7th frame invincible only. OD version 7-13f invincible.

Azrael will rear back deliver a strong forward swinging punch attack after a brief charge. Standing unblockable with upper weakpoint and crouching unblockable with lower weakpoint. Unblockable if both weakpoints are applied, can be air-barrier guarded still. Used as combo ender for extended damage. Has a high minimum damage compared to other DDs. Does not apply weakpoints, despite the button used for the motion.
7th frame All invul. OD version 7-13 All invul. Applied weakpoints make move UNB for that attribute. 180F Heat Gauge Cooldown

Or you failed at comprehending or reading my post? I mentioned a couple of ways people can get around that, you can counter assault, you can OD before the attack hits, a couple of moves can avoid that too (There are a couple of true blockstrings but that's where planning ahead of time and knowing the match up and saving meter to counter assault comes in?) The damage isn't that amazing, again, not compared to a proper combo.
btw I would like to play against you, would like to know if you are being kinda rude because I'm really noob or you are pretty good at this
I don't see what does that have to do with anything or what would that prove. I'm not being rude, you're being stubborn and asking for proof of really really obvious stuff (BHS being unblockable with both seals) instead of making your own research and realizing you're wrong.
If you want to prove that you're the better player for one reason or another I don't care, you can say that, I haven't played BB in months (I pretty much dropped the game after 1.1 since my character is nearly unplayable) and I'm enjoying UNIEL way more at the moment.

I saw all the things you posted (and cool btw)... didn't know it was unblockable if not crouching...
I still think it's cheap, I was playing with some guys and a dude that only use Azrael and he didn't knew this, once he knew it, he because more succeful with him, and they are skilled, 3 combos max and you are out
secondly, I already wanted to play against you, because you seem to be experienced with the game and I do think I'm good enough and I like challenges, first time I was kinda mad, now I already told you without any "I'm better than you" argument
if I don't really search and read stuff about a game is because I'm more about playing it and learning in the way, instead of seeing how others do, and to be honest, works fine... playing online (in this and some other games) you will find people that do the same things, some times even the same reactions because they are making what someone else do

Post by: S.D. on August 06, 2014, 10:59:36 pm
This is the only semi-practical way to actually do damage with this, and you're using all your resources (Which again, are better used as a free out of jail card whenever you mess up), so...
Plenty of characters have "cheap" stuff like Kokonoe's Black Hole resets, some Tager resets, Hakumen's grab into OD (That's still a thing), etc, yes this is low on the execution barrier and the marks don't go away after connecting the unblockable (They should IMO) but the payoff is minimal compared to the others I mentioned.
And I respect that, but you can't really have that "I refuse to do research" attitude when it comes to anime fighters because they're all gimmicky as hell. Anyways, rejoice, Azrael buffs, and some kinda meh Makoto buffs (And some HOLY SHIT Bang buffs) http://shoryuken.com/2014/08/06/blazblue-chronophantasma-developers-share-changes-in-upcoming-patch-for-kokonoe-valkenhayn-and-more/

Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: S.D. on August 06, 2014, 11:22:31 pm
While being able to special cancel out of LV2 drives is an improvement, her normals are still... not that good and she gets bodied by anyone with swords or huge normals, and the fact that parry doesn't work 80% of the time doesn't help (That and her damage output being a joke doesn't help either)
I'm looking forward to the Litchi nerfs.

Makoto: - 5D has less untechable time - 2D combos can't be done like before - j.2C is cancelable now - 214A~D no follow up still - j.D now wallbounds? Not sure if can be followed up. - 2D lv2 > 5B doesn't work. - Lv2 special moves CAN'T be special canceled - 6C > 214A~C > 236D only works on corner
AHAHAHAHAHA what?
2D lv2 > 5B doesn't work? You know, that was like, her miscreen BnB. You know, the only way to do some (below average) damage midscreen.

Maybe they are trying to make canon weak characters weaker! Like if they made a SF game Dan would be completely unusable and keep getting nerfed while Akuma would be Shin by default.
Or if they made a DBZ game anyone not a sayajin would be super nerfed!
Sounds like good game design to me!!!

I don't blame you, this is just ridiculous. If this is "how it feels to play certain characters" then they really must hate Bullet and Makoto and their fans the way they make playing as them so much of a fucking senseless struggle.

To revive any semblance of optimism in here, Bullet's been buffed slightly last I heard.
Quote
- D attacks still cause hard knockdown. - edit: this was a mistake, D attacks no longer cause hard knockdown. - Bullet can now do all her command grabs after her D attacks. - Bullet can also go from heat 0 to heat 2 in the corner in one combo because of this change. - Bullet lost her D follow up wall stick in the corner (5DD now wall-bounces instead) but gains it back if she follows up with 42136C instead. - She has midscreen wall bounce after her D follow up now as well. Shingo managed to get a meterless 5100 damage corner combo w/ new tools. - Blocked drive causes her to be pushed away from the opponent if you don't get the red lock on (excluding 6D and 2D). You can't do anything during the pushback except RC. - Charged flint is similar to Ragna's dead spike and actually moves across the screen then explodes.

Post by: MightyKombat on August 07, 2014, 10:41:53 pm
Blocked Drive moves bouncing her away makes them look really fucking unsafe. I still maintain that Bullet is one of the all time worst fighting game characters even in light of this.
I figured these "buffs" would do nothing for her

Post by: Niitris on August 07, 2014, 11:58:33 pm
Idk what to think of it, but I do know it's not a substantial improvement since max damage wasn't really the problem.
Even with improved combo damage, she'll be slightly better at best (although slightly better could still be above most of the cast considering how much everyone's getting nerfed lol).

- [Bullet's] D attacks still cause hard knockdown.
Well this was confirmed to be a mistake, heh.
This entire thing's been a mess; looks like everyone's combo tools are being nerfed. Mu's 6B can no longer be rapid canceled (and is no longer overhead on first hit); combo game nerfed. Anyone who gets any real combo buff is lucky.
Kinda pisses me off to know that this is their definition of expanding individuality.

Tager: - 6A = when opponent is hit in air, drags opponent to feet. Connect with A Sledge, 6B, 2C, gadget. Ground hit remains the same - 5B = Untechable time decreased? Aerial hit 5B>6A, 5B>JC doesn’t connect - 6B = No longer overhead. Slower than 3C? Hit stun removed? Aerial hit forces down, will connect with A Sledge, Gadget, Wheel, 2C (Only Tager and Rachel?). - 2C = launches opponent bigger, won’t connect with A Sledge. 6A>2C>Gadget will cause enemy to be behind Tager so 2C is launching opponent towards you? Will connect with -Collider, Wheel, and upward Spark - 6C = launches opponent upward diagonally away from you. Nothing connects? Garbage - 5D = Causes knock back to guarding enemies. Counter hit 5D connects safely with 5C. OD 5D gives move guard point, but doesn’t change launching route. - 4D = Magnetic pull increase? Air hit causes enemy to bounce back, Wall Slam eliminated, best finisher to wall combos. - JB = Counter Hit equal to J2C launching route. Untechable time decreased? JB>JD won’t connect. - JC = Untechable time decreased. Aerial loop won’t connect, JC>JD won’t connect - JD = Increase in hit confirm (Wiff JD>J2C now impossible). Eliminated Wall Splat. No moves seem to connect at this moment, so mainly for neutral game? - Throw = Inrease in hit confirm, cannot wiff grab then GETB. - A Sledge = Aerial hit causes enemy to launch sideways? 3C>A Sledge>5A doesn’t’ connect. Wall Splat applied, new wall combo 3C>A Sledge>5C - B Sledge = Aerial hit causes opponent to float high. Wall combo 5D>B Sledge finish eliminated. In exchange, B Sledge>5C>6A becomes new combo route. - After Sledge >236A (the hammer part) = forces down, even when counter hit. Unable to pursuit with a combo? Guard Point applied. - B Driver = Super fire power. If near wall, able to pursuit with attack. In middle of stage, able to connect with 5D and Spark Bolt. - Collider = Only gadget will connect with it in the middle of stage. - 214C = Charge cancel GETB easier to pull off? - Magnetic Wheel = after final hit, opponent can tech real quick, unable to connect with Gadget. - Terra Break = Wall Splat applied, does it need it? - Guard Cancel OD = Tager’s ultimate dual-edged blade. Opponents 2B based attacks easy picking for Tager’s Guard Cancel OD, but when the opponent OD cancel from Tager’s 3C, it makes you want to cry.
Nerfed combo game (par for the course), but buffed in the parts he needed to be so... decently good Tager finally?

They want to make the game feel completely new and keep it fresh and stuff, their intent is clear, but the execution is just wrong. I mean, all the time and effort invested on learning a character, his combos and tools just to have them scrapped just like that? It does feel kind of disrespectful to the players, ugh save that for an actual sequel (And can you even go to previous versions? I know you could do that in CS, I don't think you can in CP other than deleting the game data and not going online)

There's barely anything on Terumi, good thing I guess.
Yeah, it's pretty weird how they went about this. People will still find their damage and whatnot, but idk, removing so many things could wind up making the game slower (it's not like from EX ->CP where there were enough changes in the mechanics to make it work). Don't believe making characters more unique (which they are already) is a good compromise for that. I'm pretty sure no one wants BB to return to CT's speed.
Well, there's the next loketest; maybe they'll be less gun-shy to strengthen the tools that are supposed to distinguish the cast (hopefully).

Since nobody posted it, here's the trailer for the Chronophantasma 2.0 version:
If you like the way Nu works in the 1.0 version, better not get used to it because she will lose that mode change in the next version. You can see how Lambda's blades look like in this new version if you watch the video.
Oh yeah, this new update will happen in October (arcade version btw), so we will get some info about all changes from Dustloop a few days after it's released on the arcades.

Post by: Niitris on October 08, 2014, 01:17:33 pm
Thought more would've happened between then and now.
Spoiler: 2.0 Patch notes courtesy of Famitsu (translation from Dustloop)(click to see content)
Ragna: - 6A can now gatling into various Drive attacks. - Ground Gauntlet Hades (214B) now staggers on hit, the follow-up (214D) floats lower and doesn't knock down. - Belial Edge (j.214C) has different blowback.
Jin: - 5D and 2D can now be special-canceled. 2D can be jump-canceled only on hit. - Ground Hishouken (236A) flies faster. - Hitting a frozen enemy with Sekkajin (22C) no longer removes the freeze.
Noel: - 5D now Fatal Counters. - XI. Optic Barrel (236A/B) can now be dash-canceled. - Chamber Shot (236C) is now easier to use (?).
Rachel: - The Sylpheed gauge recovers faster if you have less of it. - Tiny Lobelia (236A/B/C) now gains another hitbox after bouncing off the wall. - Lightning can now strike the bats made by both Lotus specials. - Overdrive allows you to jump-cancel more moves (4B, among other things).
Taokaka: - Added 6D. - Drive attacks can now be cancelled into Sticky Kitty (j.214D near the wall). - Cat Spirit Two! (j.236B) is now easier to mash.
Tager: - 6B is now faster, now can be blocked while crouching. - B Gigantic Tager Driver (360B) has different blowback. - Overdrive gives many Drive attacks a guard point.
Litchi: - 2D now only deals 1 hit. - Launched staff now flies towards the opponent (their position at the time of the launch). - If Litchi is hit while the staff is launched, it is set back up. - Staff 6A can now gatling into 4B.
Arakune: - C bug can now Guard Crush. - F of G (j.214214D) now activates independently of Arakune (even on block). - If the curse gauge is not empty, entering Overdrive activates the curse.
Bang: - Changed the positions of nail bumper setups (214A/B/C/D). Can now dash off the bumpers on the ground. - Overdrive now activates faster, the Furinkazan animation now only triggers on red health (with no other changes). - Can now block in Overdrive.
Carl: - 6[C] can now be cancelled by pressing A. - 4D now deals 3 hits. First and second hits can't be blocked while standing. - Con Fuoco (41236D) has its damage and travel distance changed. - Con Anima (63214D) now has super-armor and Fatal Counters.
Hakumen: - Successful Drive catch can now be immediately special-canceled (the usual catch animation doesn't trigger). Canceling into Kokuujin: Yukikaze (236236D) activates the counter-attack immediately. - 4C is now faster.

About Hakumen, wow with the ability to cancel Drive counters with Yukikaze, that's quite a change. But I thought Emma not being jump-cancelled was already happening, didn't somebody posted about it for Chronophantasma before release?

Yeah, through PSN Store. Though some countries do not have it. UK has it though, in case you ask.

Yeah it came out in Europe not long after the NA one amazingly enough. Its digital only though and we still haven't gotten the CT/CS stage and music DLC yet.

I suggest you wait for the BB:CP Extend version instead of buying the first version. Unless you're not interested in getting Celica and Lambda.

Post by: MightyKombat on October 08, 2014, 08:22:39 pm
Be warned tho, they're likely to be £4.79 like the other DLC chars. A little too much even with their arcade routes and shit.

Shoryuken has videos showing those changes, in case you want to see it rather than reading it. I like some of those changes, honestly. There's also combo videos for Celica and Lambda.
Also, Tager with Overdrive Guard Cancelling is reaaaaally scary.
Title: Also Dustloop since that's the initial source.

Yeah well, Shoryuken website has a translation of all the changes, so you can easily alternate between seeing how it works and what it's trying to show, that's why I decided to post that one. Also, don't you have another link for Celica Astral? The one you posted doesn't seem to work. Nvm, I managed to make it work.
Edit: Wait, so she completely heals the opponent, then kills it? Josuke with Crazy Diamond did it better, honestly.

Yeah I don't know how can you get that wrong when you have a Hakumen avatar, seriously.

Yeah, the important thing is that they're porting it. And I'll probably buy this one, unless they somehow make it as shitty as CT PC.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Niitris on November 18, 2014, 04:15:55 am
They'd have to actively try in order to make it worse than CT GFWL Steam.
BB:CS Extend follows GG Isuka, GGX2 Reload, & BB:CT in the Steam frenzy. What does this mean for future ASW titles? Stay tuned to find out!
Sounds encouraging being that only CP is missing. Though I'd bet it probably won't appear until BB4 is right around the corner (love to be wrong about that).
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: Nanashi_1337 on November 18, 2014, 12:58:49 pm
They will probably wait until the Extend version of CP comes out, or as you say, when the BB4 (and probably the last) Blazblue game comes out. They probably are focusing now more on the console versions, and once they have milked them enough, move to a PC port.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: MightyKombat on November 18, 2014, 01:33:09 pm
Yeah. Its the first time CS has been on PC for real (Not just an arcade rip) not to mention the first time we get Extend on PCs which is cool.
I might check it out, see if its any good. Shouldn't be too bad, really.

Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: -Red- on December 11, 2014, 03:44:14 pm
It's not a region lock per-se. There's a difference. You can't buy it directly from the store but you can play it if you get the game from somewhere else (As a steam gift, a steam key from somewhere else, etc.).
Also 30 bucks full price, 24 if you buy it this week + you have BBCT (It was in a 1 dollar bundle, don't look at me!), I am still not buying this, fuck that price lol.
Title: Re: Blazblue Chrono Phantasma
Post by: MightyKombat on December 11, 2014, 03:48:16 pm
Good point also seriously fuck that price that's just despicable.
What I wanna know is why they didn't say anything ahead of time and why they're being so goddamn quiet about the reason for it if they're not just being dicks for no good reason.
At least KOF is still coming to Europe.

I'm going to wait for Christmas discoumpts, though taking into account it's a recent release it will probably not get one. If it doesn't, guess I will have to wait for a future one, that price is ridiculous...

X-posted from another topic: H2 is Korean, but for whatever reason they thought they had PC publishing rights worldwide. Turns out a company called PQube has exclusive publishing rights to a couple of games. BB is one of them. I just found out this also includes Persona 4 Arena. So yeah, they also screwed over EU PS3 owners with the console's very first region-locked game.
Well that was clumsy. Btw didn't even notice the $30 price point. With everything else going on, yeah, no.

It's like #11, but whatever.
It won't get a significant discount until the spring or summer sale, because it takes a lot for the big Japanese developers to pull the trigger on a discount.

I only dropped interest because they keep drastically changing my favorite character(s) to the point where I'd want EX modes consisting of past incarnations.
What's the general consensus on CP2? Heard Mori made it evident that Celica's his dream waifu because she's stupid as fuck.

Post by: MightyKombat on December 16, 2014, 03:09:11 pm
On the bright side it being for XBone raises the possibility of ripped sprites.
