Also because this place has been very slow.

Also because I needed to see if people preferred this over Marvel (which honestly, seems unlikely and is most likely the lack of activity in this forum)

OPTIC BARREL!

I will start playing this again along with the Accent core I already play.

I might as well for GF202020's sake.

I might try to get into this again.

I'd rather play Accent Core also but hey that's why they don't release it on psn lol.

I will play , although i'm a bit of a retiree in the Arcsys world. It wouldn't hurt to get back in the ring for a bit. :: dusts off the ol' sword and shield ::

What happened to "I don't like Guilty Gear lite"?

I'm aiming to be around the weekend, I need to get more practice with Valkenhayn anyway.

Because he can't play it online.

We can play XX reloaded, but it is kind of hard to adjust to god tier slayer hitting him with jumping heavy and his 20 frames of invincibility dash.

I will be using Platinum and some other characters. Maybe vampire Sol.

So anyway thinking of picking this up for a bit. I'm really bad but that's ok. I'll probably be playing Ragna, because I'm told he's all about reading, and I'm terrible at that. Figure it might help to force such a character upon myself. Also Tsubaki for the block strings, Hakumen for the gimmicks, Rachel because she's awesome, and maybe v-13 for the stuff.

Ragna isn't about reading compared to Hakumen and Tager. Ragna's more about rushing the enemy and locking them down with his ranged attacks. Also about doing ID clash with another Ragna.

Rushing down and locking down is the ultimate priority of all characters, zoning and rushdown alike. After all, your opponent can't kill you if they can't move.

Ragna might not have to read as much as someone like Tager, but since his mix ups are slower then the rest of the cast (or so I'm advised), and since he has a strong set of counters for various situations, he's best when being unexpected and manipulative of the situation.

Or at least, that's how it was explained to me.

It may be the ultimate priority for all characters, but certain characters do a better job for certain things than others.

Ragna is great for rushing and trapping someone with his drive moves.
Rachel can't rush or lockdown as well as Ragna, but makes up for it by being better at zoning than someone like Ragna.

Yes I know. And he doesn't have a projectile, so obviously he has to rushdown in order to win. But taking advantage of his various counter options to outread and punish opponents for their own offenses is probably the best way to get in. After conditioning them to not kill you, you can just waltz right in with 5b or 5c.

Rags' projectile just functions differently from most existing ones- since its slow and grounded its meant to be a combo filler. And yes 5B/C is his happiness.

I might be up for BrazBrue if only NMH Heroes Paradise isn't so gosh darn addicting Razz

Besides combo usefulness, I thought Dead Spike was also meant to be a meaty attack, since it has + on block and priority.

Subject: Re: The Blazblue matchmaking thread Sat Oct 15, 2011 11:59 pm

Hmm . . . I rarely see them use that as a meaty anymore but it was definitely useful for it. +Frame yah. Doesn't it damage primers? I can't remember.

Yeah, it still takes a primer.

Also I once stopped Hazama's reversal with the blood kain version. Which looked hilarious.

Subject: Re: The Blazblue matchmaking thread Sun Oct 16, 2011 5:16 am

I would have loved to see that. That guy is extremely annoying to me. I like the character but the way some people use Hazama gets on my nerves. Ouroboros the whole match.

Hazama is basically the Dhalsim of BB. He relies solely on stretching his giant green ghost dick at you and then when he gets you from far away, going in for Houtenjin into juggle combos. I used to like him, but he's a bit too complicated for me now so I stopped using him.

As for me, I use Bang and Valkenhayn mostly. A bit of Hakumen and Tager on the side.

Doesn't Taokaka and Makoto get any love here? D':

Subject: Re: The Blazblue matchmaking thread Sun Oct 16, 2011 4:19 pm

I'm a Makoto main, dunno if to be proud of it though.

I think she's a cool character.

Subject: Re: The Blazblue matchmaking thread Sun Oct 16, 2011 6:04 pm

I might have some stuff to do but I'll probably be here in two hours. If not, then maybe a little later then that (like at the most 3 or 4 hours from now).

I'll add you though.

Also do you have Steam lolicannon?
