Well I just beat it on hard with Tager. Was a breeze until I got to V-13. Damn. His sledge hammer moves through projectiles, but when there is that steady of a stream of projectiles, it's frikkin hard to get close to that little bitch. As soon as I could actually close the gap and get in there I was all like "I NEED TO MAKE THIS COUNT", and deal as much damage as possible. Took 3 tries, but I got her. Now to beat it on Very Hard.

Played 4 ranked matches online, won two lost two. Much to my surprise one of my victories was against a V13 player. It was a brutal match, but I came through in the end. After getting my ass comboed for a couple of minutes, I managed to get her in a corner and pulled of his Double Distortion drive (where first he spins and slams the ground, sending you flying, then you use his second distortion attack that can only be used during the first one, but has to be timed perfectly so that he hits them on their way down from the first), and I've never managed to pull that off successfully against an actual person. Nearly killed her right there, and a couple frantic jabs later I won. Very satisfying.

Got my ass kicked by a very good hakumen player though. I couldn't find a good way to counter his air approaches. His sword has higher priority than my uppercut, and better range than my air throw. At best I could block and catch him off gaurd with a throw after he landed, but he caught onto that after a few suplexes, and would throw counter and continue his beat down. Man I love this game, even when I lose. Good stuff, good stuff. I love that I can save my replays to watch where I went wrong, and learn what I should've done instead. Not to mention Dl replays from people with alot more experience to see how they play as Tager. That is an invaluable tool.

Oh and leafy bug, or outlawrun, whichever, sorry about last night. I had a very long day at work and just wanted to dick around a bit in story mode. You'll get your chance to own me in good time. I don't think I'll be on tonight, but I'm pretty sure I will be tomorrow evening. Maybe I can play a few rounds with some people on here.

Fair enough. I just wasn't sure what was happening.

From what I read so far....I don't think I'm going to get a good answer...But here goes..
I have not played the game..I should have it this month.....I'm a big Guilty Gear player...so who would you recommend for me based on this guys....

Main
I would have to Go with Baiken
Her style embodies how I play. I may look like Im charging recklessly but my defense packs so much Win you end up bleeding....

Secondary
Eddie....Remote fighting FTW...I confuse the hell out of people and make it look like I never run out of gas...Or make you forget about Eddie and and Move Zato until your trapped between us....

Thrid most used
May... Much Like baiken I make myself look reckless but rely on her speed and quick recovery to pwn..Her hieght is a big factor since i can get out of harms way quick...And bashing some one with a giant whale is so my thing...

Honorable mentions....
Zappa.... All I can is Don't jump to much...
Ino...Just rocking people all day and staying airborne alot

I must Add...I try keeping my usage of Sol Badguy to a Minimum...Since he was my first main and i'm overpowered with him...The only person to force me to pull out Baiken after losing with Sol was an asian kid with RoboKy during the first Game On NYC which had a bunch of Xbox's with GG and Bloodrayne...Sony nor Nintendo made much of a show...MS was kind enough to send about 50 Xbox's and Had Mechassault Lone wolf and Konker Live ready before both games were out...

So what do you guys think Who would I mostly play with in Calamity?



 



I finally got blazblue! Found it in a gamestop over 100 city blocks from my house. Haven't even popped it in yet, just been admiring the box and reading thw back over and over again. I always have trouble opening my new games, as much as I want to play them, it feels like i'm ruining perfection. It feels wrong to open a beautifully made box, especially one that's LE.

Anyone on here who has Blazblue on the 360 post your gamertag in this thread, or on my wall so i can add you.

ps. Has anyone noticed the LE box and the SE box both cost the same thing ($60). Also the LE box is actually standard price which I found pleasing since it does bring 2 dvds worth of extra content.

Main: Litchie for speed, Jin is also a possible choice. Tager has massive offense, but hes slow.

Second: Arakune. Use his curse power, back up, and let loose masses of insects from afar.

Third: Again Litchie or Noel.

And of course fourth, if you get the game on either system post back here, I'm more then happy to beat you up ^_^

Lol, in all honestly I've never played Guilty gear so you'd probably destroy me. But the more the merrier! 6 people can get into any one room at once.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

My XBL tag is Shadowbiind, with the first "i" being capitalized to look like a lowercase "L". Post here anytime you want for a match. We can do sparring rather then fighting if you just want to test moves if your new. Or you can just beat the crap out of me :P

I wasn't a huge GG player but I do have some experience with that game and fighting games in general... also, I really only know how to play using one character in Blazblue but I've seen/played against every character so I'll do my best to help.

Main - IMO, The two clostest resembalances to Baiken would have to be Bang or Hakumen (though Bang may be a bit more like Chip since he's based around speed and loves the air). Still, both characters have counter attacks and can do them often. Hakumen is very slow (in terms of attack speed, not movement) but can make a living being played defensively while being aggressive. You'd probably lean towards Bang.

Secondary - This is easier since I'm familiar with Eddie. You're either going to use Litchi, Carl or Rachel. To me, Litchi may be most like Eddie because both their games revolves around wakeup strategies and punishment to turtles.  Carl uses a puppet but it's huge and moves slow, but there is alot of remote fighting involved. Rachel relies on setting traps and triggering, you'd probably want to go with Litchi or Carl first.

May - hrmmm. Rachel is short but plays nothing like May. But if you're looking for a character that is very quick and able to out alot of damage, try Taokaka.

Honorable mentions - This is pretty easy. Zappa = Arakune.

Also, if you're really good with Sol, Ragna is just like him.

 

If you get it on PS3, make sure to join the matchmaking and community thread (the link is on my sig).

Would Litchie = Chipp?

What is Jin like?

I'm not a stranger to Potekim but I would not Main Tager if they are comperable.

Arakume sounds Interesting and if I can be as tricky with him as Eddie (Though I think he sounds more like Briget/Testament)

What is Noel like?

I will getting for Xbox....About beating me...You would have to be real good...

If you never played Guilty Gear..and going by what my friend said who returned the game Becuase it was too much like Guilty...Heheh...

Not a Big Chipp player since I would tend to use his teleport in conjuction with Alpha Blade(The one where the Sillhoutte traps you)..It got old real quick and people read right trough it...So Bang would be likely only is he has a dominant air based special move...Hakuman...Slow is not a problem but air vunerability would since slow characters are practically always flying turds....

Is rachel the Gun girl? That description makes her sound like Venom or Briget...Which are both not my thing...

With may is was not as much as the Damage..though it was a plus it was more about recovery speed..With her I would do her Dolphin Ride charge with Heavy and if you blocked I would be able to counter with the light Dolphin Ride..Or combo the same move together by doing the heavy followed by the light version...

Arakune sounds interesting then....

Yes I am very good with Sol....So good I actully know how to use Dragon Install at the right time....Ragna should fit nicely then

I was leaning towards that marriontte caring guy (Carl?) for Main but I wont know until I have the game...

Not getting teh Ps3 version....



 



Well you should Zizzla! Most people here are playing it on PS3. Shadow and pbroy bought a PS3 copy in addition to the 360 version after so many people had it here.

Plus, unless you have stick, why?
