    Oh god it's that announcer. I swear it's the same dude who did all the hnk commentary. He must live at that arcade.

    Every Japanese arcade commentator I've heard has that nasally voice for some reason. It's quite uncanny.

    You mean the backwards compatibility?

    Because I played it on my OXbox and it was golden.

    Except for the controls, but good in everything else.

    See, I originally thought this was a XBLA title too for some reason, but it is indeed in disc based format.

    Nope.

    What made you guys think that it was a digital download game anyway? Doesn't look like a DD game. o_O

    Also, how many of you are getting on the PS3 or Xbox 360?

    PS3 for me.

    I could swear they said it was a psn game. And Siren is a downloadable game and is amazing as well. So I didn't think that it was lacking content or anything.

    I'd like to get it for the PS3, but since I only have the 360, I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and pay for a few months of Gold I reckon. Also building a custom stick for it, might think about making a dual switching stick if this first stick becomes successful.

    No BB comes first. Not a big kof guy. Mainly because I'm not gay.

    Okay that's not fair to kof players.

    Mainly because I don't own bell bottoms.

    Okay I actually like kof, but I'm playing bb and sf4 competitively. Trying not to spread myself too thin.

    I had to look up what bell bottoms are.

    Yeah, KoF12 is just too close to blazblue for me.

    I'll probably get it 2 months later or something.

    I can always go to the arcade and play anyway.

    Kof players are like their own thing, though. Right? Like when I go to the arcade, the guys that play kof don't play street fighter and likewise. It's like a huge divide, and who knows the hell why. My main beef (and even guilty gear has this problem) is that the kof player base seems more composed of "fans" than actual players. You know what I mean. Guys that know Iori's entire back story but don't even know his basic bread and butters.

    Aussies never had bell bottoms? Then again, you probably did, you just called them something foolish, like "Chazwozzers."

    If i may ask why? I got that version when i first got my SE stick and i kinda messed around in it but i never noticed any problems with it seemed pretty much just like the PS2 copy i had.


    And to answer the running question i'm gettin it for 360.

    Man, this game will be a radical shift from sfiv for me.

    I'm barely able to pull off combos consistently in sfiv--I can't imagine what it'll be like in blazblue, which appears to be faster paced.

    It plays much faster, but you shouldn't have any trouble actually pulling off most of the combos. Since the game revolves more on combos than SF, they're a little more lenient on doing them.

    true that. Everything is cancels or so I've seen. Timing is looser than the hardest combos in SF. But hard GG combos are really, really hard.

    Enjoying it though are you? :D

    Blazblue seems to use the gatling system in guilty gear, or at least a variant of it.

    Which basically means that moves chain together.

    Also jump cancels play a pretty big part I think.

    And here's a bunch of japanese dudes talking about blazblue.

    pfft, that was just a fancier Heavenly Pot Buster. It did look cool though.

    If only I spoke japanese. Anyways, I haven't watched much BB videos since I've kind of wanted to keep myself surprised when I buy it, then really get into it and watch all that shit. I know I ll like it no matter any flaws that "those" people (KOF players...) will dig up. So Arakune is a shitshow tho aint he? I have not realised how good zoning was in this game... wow.

    What was that "status effect" he used on the opponents that seemed to make them helpless? Sorry for the noob question, I'll try and keep up more after this since the release is soonish.

    Oh and 360 version for me. Theyr better be at least 16 dedicated ish fighters on PA for some tourneys.

    Curse clouds.

    Basically enables you to summons BEES. Which could pretty much lock your opponent down.

    The dangerous part is that the cloud curses on block.

    And what sort of shit has KoF players been talking about though? I agree that there are flaws, but it still looks like shit hot fun.

    For players though, you might want to look at dustloop. They have a thread for gamertags and PSNs which goes way over a hundred.

    Though my email won't get accepted at dustloop for some strange reason. o_O I'm pretty sure that I've never posted there before.

    Edit: also, I really want to play hakumen for the voice alone.

    I'm going to be all RARGH RAGH EURGH RARGH EUGH. :lol:

    Curse on block is the bs that's going to make many a people rage quit or quit out if you pick him. The thing I noticed though is that the clouds are attackable and that gets rid of it. But that doesn't stop him from just farting out more.

    crap I wish I wasn't at work I'd link that arakune vs hakumen. The dude playing hakumen was an inspiration though. It's in the srk thread somewhere near the end.

    On an unrelated note, I'm thinking of picking up a second arcade stick. I was directed towards arcade in a box for customs. despite the monstrous wait time has anyone heard any bad things about them? good things?

    check the shoryuken.com forum blazblue thread. Near the end someone posted an arakune vs hakumen. The hakumen player basically turtled all round, more or less sat ducking under the clouds and made the arakune player come to him to lay big damage on him. That -had- to be all kinds of frustrating though.
