What is Blazblue?
Blazblue is a fighting game from Arc System Works, the makers of the famous Guilty Gear. It was originally meant to be set in the same universe, but apparently not? Anyway, to any of you who are familiar with Guilty Gear, you should know what to expect. Which is batshit insane characters, fast-paced gameplay and the best music to ever grace a videogame.
But how does it play?
Unashamedly copy pasted from wikipedia.
The game uses an 8-directional lever, common to most fighting games, and 4 attack buttons: Light, Middle, Heavy, and Drive, the latter of which activates unique special abilities for each character. Throws and throw cancels are performed by pressing medium and strong at the same time. In addition to basic dashing and jumping, there are also double-jumps and aerial dashes.
Heat Gauge: An energy gauge used for the Distortion Drive and Rapid Cancel.
Distortion Drive: Special attacks unique to each character that consume 50% of the heat gauge. Performed with some arrows motion plus the drive button.
Barrier Gauge: A gauge that regenerates over time, used for Barrier and Barrier Burst. The defense capability of a character is lowered for a set period of time when this gauge reaches zero.
Barrier: Pushes back the enemy and prevents guard damage. Performed by pressing weak attack and medium attack at the same time while guarding.
Barrier Burst: Pushes the opponent away, either when guarding or receiving damage, thus cancelling the enemy's combo in the latter case. Uses 100% of the barrier gauge and leaves it to zero for a set period of time. Performed by pressing all four buttons at the same time.
So, basically, mostly renamed versions of what's already in Guilty Gear.
Online details!
the match making system is awesome. I can honestly say, BB online model is far superior compare to SF4. Though might be a bold statement, But here's a quick breakdown:
Here's one scenario that should give you an idea.
I log onto XB Live, Play BB, go on network mode. I look for a rank match, but before that I wanna see among my friends who's in the top. From there, I can see some replays of my friends matches that they uploaded and see how they are doing. It'll even show you who they last played based on the icon next to their name. Next, I get bored watching my friends bullshit replays so I wanna see the top of the top, so I browse on the monthly leaderboard, I can now see who's at the top and check out his best replays and realize how sucky or how much better I am...So I get pumped up and I noticed some of my friends are online as well. So I start a lobby and start dictating the amount of slots I want for players and spectators. From there, I invite all my friends and we all say wassup and proceed to kick each others ass. We can save replays, spectate, and talk as much trash as we want. But wait, I got a homie that just signed on, sends me a msg, talking shit about my match!
But when I look at my lobby he ain't there!
How that works is my boy is searching for rooms to join but before joining, a player can see what's going on in each room, including icons that display who's currently fighting in the current match, who's winning the match, connection speed of the room, and who's in the lobby.
And there is still various other options and setups.. but that's just one example from player match...I hope that gave you an idea on what is to come.
And yes, this is for PS3 as well. So no haters please....
Now, hook up some rep points!

Story for anyone who cares:
Before the events of BlazBlue, humanity was on the the verge of extinction from the "Black Beast", a creature of Darkness. Hope came in the form of six heroes who wielded the power of magic. Together, the six heroes & humanity created "Armagus" a combination of Magic & Technology to defeat the Beast, which would be known as The First War of Magic.
After the war, the New World Void Space Cue Administration Bureau was created to govern the new world which has discovered the use of Armagus. Under the Bureau, Humanity began reconstructing & the world was under their dictatorship. However this caused much dissent for the people due to fact Armagus was used in every issue & the widening socioeconomic gap between those who could use & cannot use Armagus. This dissent would eventually form years later into The Ikaruga Civil War or The Second War of Magic, when the Ikaruga Union openly rebelled against the Bureau. After the war, the Bureau imposed a harsher rule on the world declaring anyone that defies them will be killed.
On December A.D.2199, several years after the Second war, a branch of the Bureau was utterly destroyed by an SS-class traitor named "Ragna the Bloodedge" also known as "the God of Death." His quest was to destroy the Bureau. The New World Void Space Cue Administration Bureau, hoping to stop him, immediately put the largest bounty ever for anyone who could capture him.

V13 - The sub-boss of the game, V13 looks like a mechanical/cyborg girl who floats in mid-air, is short, has short white hair, mecha shoulder pads, what appears to be an eye scanner on one of her eyes, and is colored all white. Strikingly resembles Noel.
Haku-Men - The boss of the game, he looks like a cross between Justice from Guilty Gear and a white samurai, wielding a long sword. Both Haku-Men and V13 were seen at the EVO location test for the game.
JESUS CHRIST THAT WAS LONG.

I have made up a combo! This is very exciting for me.
How do our bang players feel about the arakune match up?
He's my secondary, though I haven't had a match against arakune using him yet.
I will get on momentarily - we will be party room number 2!
Have you ever ran backwards naked through a corn field?
Not backwards.
I was trying him for a little bit but I wasn't having much luck against the usual Ragna/Jin/Noel's you run up against. Mostly because I couldn't hit his moves reliably enough.
I mean, my Lichi still gets torn up but I tend to be able to at least cause enough problems to be in the match---Noel is the biggest pain in the ass though.
I'm also starting to think that playing online rarely helps me become a better player. Considering how offensive this game is I tend to simply revert to a sort of basic defense and become really cautious. I also whiff a lot, which is constantly getting me killed.
Edit: And yes, Arakune is very annoying. Constantly not being able to reach a character is quite a nuisance.
6D and 2D when they try to go for their airbourne bullshit is delicious.
I haven't met much arakunes online though. Just jin, jin, jin, jin, noel, noel, noel, ragna.
On that note I should train more. j D after 2D doesn't really come out for me.
edit: guido, like I said, you really should be saving that uppercut when you have the staff.
You can really do some mean combos off it if you hit them.
You also really should be going on the offensive as litchi.
So what would get you better? Arcade mode? Training mode can only help you so much...
I don't doubt there's some benefit to playing randoms online but I think in some ways it causes me to develop lazy habits.
Maybe it's more of an attitude or mentality thing. When I feel rushed I stop trying new things and act on instinct and because I want to win I stick with safe tactics (even I don't actually win that much).
Which is something I really need to do too.
Or maybe hit me and other PAers up for training? I promise not to use v-13 if she annoys you.
But that's nothing you all didn't know already.

I love this game.

if you add, try to send a message that you're from PA
Biggest problem for me is that my play time is fairly limited because I have to share a TV with 3 people right now---so when I'm on I tend to want to play other people instead of spending an hour trying to perfect a move.

BlazBlue has a surprisingly enjoyable story mode... The soundtrack is pretty good too.
Nice thread title lol.
I know, I'm a v-13 player as well.
Title refers to when everyone was saying that she does.
Also guido, I'm in the same situation as you. I'm in school holidays right now, so i can play more, but I usually only get 1-2 hours of play.
Still, you need to at least learn your BnBs, and training helps alot.
Not that I did any training for SF4, but this time it'll be different! :P
Sure its good to think and strategise and learn the opponents style and patterns but apart from that, just do it. I'm not there. But to get good at fighting games, especially this one, pracice bnbs or setups so when you see the opportunity you dont have to think about what your doing. You just do it.
Booya.

Who are you using?
Hakumen is powerful but slow as hell. Most characters seem to have moves that out-priotorized his.
Ragna for the most part, with Carl as a backup. Admittedly Carl is a bitch to play in most situations for me.
Of course, you have to watch for your health, seeing that yours is so low and his damage output is high.
And carl is hard, yeah. Plus hakumen is one of a few characters who could break out of clap throw loop. :P
(Just posted this in the last thread not realizing the new one was made, my bad.)
Oh and I was playing as taokaka by the way.
...
Also tell me more about this "blocked".
No clue. Kiunch loves to bring high leveled players into matches for some reason.
