    Again, check Best Buy. My local Best Buy had copies yesterday, and someone else earlier mentioned their BB also having some.

    So I consider Litchi and Tao my best characters. I also considered Bang one of my worst.

    I go into arcade mode to unlock a couple more astral heats... and while I can't go through arcade mode with either litchi or tao yet without using a continue, I did it with Bang on the first try.

    I am confused and excited.

    Numbers denote direction (look at your num-pad on your keyboard). 1 = down-back 6 = forward 5=neutral etc. Letters denote button press.

    Thanks for this.

    Finally starting to find more Carls online. It was a tough matchup at first, because of how rare an encounter was, but I'm finally starting to be able to deal with him. The only character that still gives me trouble is Litchi, because she outranges Jin.

    I still cant handle Carls, they are so few and far between I am clueless. And I am also usually in awe. I only recently realized he has that falling airial hit that can hurt me bad.

    Tager I figured out for the crappy ones, but when they know what they are doing, I ALWAYS end up eating either the power of science or a 720 due to invincibility. Im Ragna, how do I STOP being aggresive :(

    And Arakune destroys me because I just cant find a way inbetween any of his shit. Sure, I can not let him curse me, but that shit is all over the place and I cant read it, then when I try to hold back and wait for a mistake, BAM throw into ludicrous easy mode damage :(

    Litchis moves outrange alot of characters but they are very methodical. During a block string its easy enough to predict when to instant block and rush in or when to jump the low staff attack. I think if you can get by her staff then its a done deal.

    Oh and fighting Carl. Ive been playing Carl for a little while now. Your mindset when fighting him has to be just careful all the time. He might look all weak and defenseless but if you don't respect what he can do, you will lose, badly. From personal experience he has tough times against Arakune and Rachels and a easy time with Tagers if hes careful.


    So I messed around with Arakune earlier and so far, the combos are very douable. I haven't tried anything REALLY fancy but the combos on the dvd are a done deal. I thin will do the same with Nu. Play a few matches with both of them, then decide who to learn in more depth.

    Everytime Carl summons his doll and does a back dash to avoid my Spark, God kills a kitten. Just remember that.

    I could never understand straight layouts.

    Seems like you have to use the little finger instead of the thumb, and the little finger is weak like capitalist pig.

    The arcade I go to uses curve layouts for the kof12 cab but it curves to the right so you have to use the little finger instead of the thumb. It's really MADDENING.
    I'm with you, I was using the EX2 with 6 buttons when the game came out. I mapped ABC like LP MP HP and D to FK. When I got the TE stick I tried the straight layout but my mind was so used to the 6 button layout that I switched. Plus it was getting uncomfortable spamming D with my pinky when using Nu.

    A-layout as Nu?

    Blasphemy.

    Proper D-spamming requires B-layout. :lol:

    Ans you PS3 bastards (<3) better sign up for the tourney.

    So I finally got a goddamn wireless mic and I can talk to people while using my adapter, without resorting to extra accounts and parties and all sorts of hooliganery and tomfoolery and chicanery.

    This means I will now be able to hear you when you tell me I am a scrubby bitchpants.

    I got this same BS from EB as well. I can pick up my pre-order of KOFXII but no BlazBlue anytime soon. I was going to pick up both, play BB and keep KOF wrapped until I heard if the multiplayer patch made it playable otherwise return it. Now I can't. :(

    I'm in Canada, is this true for all stores or just EB? ANyone know? I'm tired of getting screwed over all things fighting game related here.

    Ack, I was planning on picking this up recently, but it sounds like EB is kinda terrible with this. I was thinking of going to Play N Trade (It has to be somewhere I can trade other games in, I can't afford a 50$ hit to the budget). Guess I get to do a hunt tomorrow.

    E: Woot! I snagged their last copy! I look forward to seeing you guys raping my carefully laid out strategies.

    After fruitlessly hunting for this game at Bestbuy over the weekend, I managed to find a copy at a nearby Gamestop and picked it up on my lunch break. It was their last copy too. I look forward to losing horribly to each and every one of you. Only then will my training be complete.

    My Jin. Needs some work. Air Combos mean nothing if you can't find an opening.

    Well, I've found the most important thing is working on pressure. As for Jin's air combo, that opening is best made through freezing your opponent first.

    Hey guys, thanks for the games last night (360 Lobby). Also, sorry for seeing me use mostly Ragna, but I
    1)am trying to get better with him and
    2)Noticed people were using their mains, so I decided it was in my best interest to do the same as well.
    Since it's been a little while since I've last played, does anyone who was there notice anything I should of improved on? I love criticism (not flaming), and pointers are great. Also, sorry, but since I don't have a mic right now, I honestly can't hear a WORD you guys have been saying online.

    Kizzma, your pressure game was pretty good. Ragna has stupidly ridiculous priority sometimes and it seems like you take advantage of that well. I think as long as you don't lose site of your goal (don't back off if you're in danger, sometimes that's counter-productive, like against Rachel) you should be fine enough.

    I'm still trying to figure out how to improve my Rachel and Tager play.
