    this is not a facetious post

    this is literally A Thing That You Do

    i was pretty excited even though i've never finished any of the Persona games but that video has made me a little wary.

    If she had a dash it'd be v-13 or lambda or. . .yeah.

    no

    there are no good zoners in p4a, and there aren't any left in blazblue either

    i didn't play blazblue much. I was a street fighter guy.

    it's just that her attack animations look very similar to me.

    My local mom-and-pop shop got my ordered copy in early, so I've been playing around with the game. I'm free to answer some questions if anyone has them. Mind you, I've played for all of two hours.

    Oh, and Elizabeth has some really good zoning options. Ziodyne (236+A), 2+C and 236+D (while awakened) all work well to keep your opponent away from you. In fact, you can pretty much spam Zio with impunity if new players aren't aggressive enough.

    zio A is awful for zoning because it is super minus on block

    whereas B has so much startup that they get in before it comes out

    Hmm, good to know. Again, I'm quite the novice with these things, so a lot of what I'm saying is based on assumptions so far. Do you have any further tips?

    spam her j.B instead for mid range spacing

    you want to set it up so you are in the range where your 5B/j.B punishes them for trying to jab your persona pressure

    on the other hand if someone is being too respectful of your blockstrings you can tag them with 5D after 5C which i think is an untechable grab and makes for an easy follow-up

  • Big Red TieBig Red Tie beautiful clydesdale style feet too hot to trotRegistered User regular
    yeah the pressure is choosing between frame trap 5C, 5D command grab, or i think 2C? guard point

    One thing I'm playing around with (which is also seen in the combo video on the previous page), is using C to position Thanatos and then combo other moves off of that. It's like playing a more accessible version of Clover.

    If I'm totally completely utterly hopelessly lost in BlazBlue (which I've played only a little bit on the PS Vita and never before that), am I going to be totally completely utterly hopelessly lost in this game as well?

    she doesn't really have any way to deal with down-backing outside of frame traps and 5D, does she? does liz even have an overhead outside of her AOA?

  • DrezDrez Registered User regular
    Ok I think that answered my question.

    nope

    but she has command grabs (shuffle time, memento mori, 5D)

    arcsys went really out of their way to try and make this accessible to non-fighting game people because they want that atlus money

    if the tutorial system is robust as i remember BB's being, you'll be fine - it all depends on how seriously you want to take the game

    the game's really accessible

    in having discussions there's a lot of terminology but you can just get in and play it easily

    Honestly, I'm not even sure I understand the menu in BlazBlue Continuum Shift EX Plus Alpha Anniversary 3D Vita HD Mega Platinum Edition. It's totally beyond me. Or I'm lazy. Probably the latter.

    Meh, maybe I'll actually try to sit and understand it on the commute to work tomorrow. And then tomorrow night Arena should show up, but I think I need to really be vary of playing it until I get and play through P4 Golden. Someone said that P4A is not actually that spoilery, but I think I still need to be cautious.

    Pretty smashingly. I put 100+ hours into P4 on my gen1 ps3. All you have to do is create a memory card (and you'll be saving a lot, so a fresh one might be a good idea).

    Rachel Alucard sits there and explains Footsies (she calls it Spacing.) And she does it for every character. It's the finest tutorial I've ever seen in a fighting game.

    Ordered.

    P4 is a very nice game. You should come to the MegaTen thread for advice.

    It's completely different with the usual with ArcSys. Most people like the soundtrack a lot, I'm pretty meh on it. Not really my thing but good for what it is.

    That explains a lot actually. It's more J-pop than 80's metal. I thought Daisuke was getting soft (He hasn't used a Drummer since Overture,) but it turns out this isn't his music.

    Behold the difference when Daisuke Ishiwatari at his best. I theorize when it's not Guilty Gear related, he gets lazy.

    Alright, I'm convinced to switch my order to Ps3. There better be like a zillion people online on PSN. Good thing Gamestop has a nice return policy. I should be able to switch it to 360 if I have problems again.

    Hah. Nanako is one of the unlockable voices for the announcers.

    I bet you have to do something like beat score attack to get it though.

  • EVOLEVOL Registered User regular
    I just turn off announcers myself.

  • unintentionalunintentional smelly Registered User regular
    I wonder what all the unlockables are

  • EVOLEVOL Registered User regular
    Just a few BGMs, a few announcers, voices ect. Nothing noteworthy really.

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    I just bought the additional colors pack and I don't even have the game yet.

    That hyped.

  • acidlacedpenguinacidlacedpenguin Institutionalized Safe in jail.Registered User regular
    just caved and pre-ordered it for PS3 (gamestop.ca is still taking pre-orders apparently). I guess I now have to actually finish my dual console arcade stick.

    Shoji Meguro's music is amazing. I love all the music in SMT games. So excited to be hearing this music while playing. It's one of the best parts of the series to me.

    If they gave him a canon love interest the shitstorm from shippers would've been epic.

    And hilarious.

    Speaking of which, this 24 hour stream is hilarious too. Holy crap, they're chanting something I don't want to repeat.
