>>572435273I wish this wasn't a tag game.
I stopped playing fighting games a while ago but I got suckered in by the trinity announcement. I started playing again but after so many losses it made me sad. They didnt tell us of theres going to be a balance patch so all the effort Im putting could be worthless. They didnt even mention when shes coming out. It could be two years from now that shes playable.
>>572442868the effort you're putting in now is about getting the essentials down and those will stay with you regardless of whatever balance patch they put out. i can't forsee them changing combo routes too much but you never know with arcsys. blazblue is super difficult despite what people say so try not to let it get you down, analyzing your losses and having fun doing it is the secret to longevity.
>>572443112Cute vampire
>>572442868Doubt it will be longer than a year. Maybe after EVO Japan.There will most likely be a balance patch but the level of differences will most likely be on the same level as CF1 to CF2.
late night bump
Well I tried to knowledge check my friend with F-Archetype Earth but instead got knowledge checked by H-R. Aruceid. Her 22X is a helluva fucking move.What should I try next? Probably gonna bother to learn Aoko for our next sets, and I can't steal rounds with Ryogi anymore he got wise to that so I might have to actually learn how to play that fuckin character instead of scamming wins with last arc.Any other cheesy as fuck tactics he might not know about? Apparently the fucker is wiki diving to fuck with me since lately I've been trying to find more ways to scam rounds out of him since his fundamentals are just that much better.
>>572450769Just improve YOUR fundamental instead of trying to scam wins. Also, how do you play melty? Might check it out and you can scam wins off me one day.
>>572451485>Just improve YOUR fundamental instead of trying to scam wins.I am also doing that but trust me when I say my friend deserves what I'm trying to do to them.>how do you play melty?https://play.meltyblood.club/4 button fighter. A/B/C and Shield. Special inputs are basically universal with some exceptions.incredibly air-to-air based even for an anime fighter. lots of fun, super broken and stupid.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41539-023-00176-9Interesting article, muscle memory of a motor skill you practice is solidified at night (this was already known), but how soon you sleep after practice is also important. Sleeping soon after practicing leads to much better improvement, while practicing after just waking up might actually be detrimental.Remember to practice your combos before going to sleep.
>>572454921I will do this and if I drop my combos i will blame you
>>572425138Me too. I found a jiyuna "guide" from 4 years ago and the video starts with "just learn this combo bro" and I learned the combo and then found out it doesnt work in 1/3 of the cast...
This time. Surely this time I will learn this stupid fucking gay ass game.
>>572462386You know how when you practice a combo with a strict timing, and at first you only get the timing right 1 time out of 10, but after enough practice you get it right 3 times out of 10, then 5, then 7, etc.Every attempt has your brain try to figure out the correct neural pathways to get it right. Think of it like a labyrinth in your brain, with multiple entrances, paths and exit. Your brain has to figure the correct entrance, the correct path and the correct exit. Every attempt is a different attempt at figuring this out. But the trick that helps you learn is that every time you get it right, you get some dopamine, and part of the dopamine goes directly in your motor cortex, which tries to reinforce the correct path. The more you practice, the more attempts you get, and thus the more time you'll succeed and get dopamine that says "this is the correct neural pathway." This will happen naturally, but you can enforce it even better by giving yourself a boost of dopamine every time you hit the combo right. When you practice, keep some bite-sized snacks near you, like a bowl of grape or apple slices, and every time you do the combo correctly, eat one grape. The extra dopamine will further reinforce the correct neural pathway, improving muscle memory.
>>572463038Good luck!Did you properly read dustloop yet for your character?
>>572469318I mean yeah. I've been orange square since chrono phantasma. It's just that every time I start taking the game seriously I play against litchi or arakune and quit.Now however? It's izanami time. Fuck blazblue players.
>>572424517GUH
>>572447097Worried they’ll kill the game by doing something retarded like removing Rachel’s instant overhead by making jA not hit overhead, since it’s modern arcsys
>>572442868Well if you're going to play it, this is probably the best time. A lot more people are either coming back or trying the game out right now. Wait too long and all that will be left are the vets who never stopped playing.
the /trash/ thread is litty right now
>>572475461God forbid Rachel loses her unreactable 50/50 that lets her continue her pressure after, the game would be utterly ruined if they took that from her.
None of you play Platinum
I do something with Platinum alright....
>>572475461>>572483610This is why they made her jB not hit overhead. The only thing that needs a nerf with Rachel is her bats. Bats make her do a fuckton of damage off any hit. I doubt they will put in the effort to do a balance patch.
>>572450769>https://lite.evernote.com/note/24574c5c-22ad-4853-9cb0-d53630d33fca
>>572495593I said cheese tactics not beginner friendly. Bitch, I will C-Nanaya you.
>>572496512doubtful
>>572494609Yeah I know about the jB but if they nerfed jA too it’d be way too much , but maybe they won’t be that retarded
>>572454921When I learn a shmup I get sleepy and take a nap, other people say the same thing so mayb it's like that.
>>572489040Doesn't one player play Platinum?
>>572489040I play her some although I’m mostly trying to learn Rachel right now
>>572489040I played her in CSE as a sub character.
>>572424517Platinum is SEX
>>572513730Interracial SEX
>>572462902iirc he just shows off a basic bunker loop which is important for some of her combos, this one is better as a general guide. and also just watching how other players use her in matcheshttps://youtu.be/rb190iXjuns
i might actually be the best blazblue player in my country.
at 100 hours in +r or lumina I feel like I was really getting somewhere, in 100 hours in blazblue I still feel like a baby who just picked up a controller
i'm at like 500 hours and i still feel like a baby
>>572520697I feel okay with Es but I feel so lost with Rachel it makes me sad
Trying to get into UNI2 / under night. I love so much about it, but my biggest doubt in getting into the game is how the neutral play works in the game.I watched a ton of competitive games, and played it online, and it feels like 80 percent of the game takes place in either combos or block strings with very little chance to reset back to neutral situation.Watch any competitive match and see how often after either a combo or block string the other player moves even a millimeter. 4/5 times they'll either keep blocking or counter mash to beat out the incoming move.Even the most combo/reset heavy game I can think of, Skullgirls, incentives returning neutral w oki setups by scaling back the damage of the next incoming combos and scaling back combo length with the undizzy meter.I absolutely love the depth of mechanics in the game along w the music and art style so I really want to keep playing but it's hard to look past this. Am I missing something here? I'm trying Orie who seems to be able to play in neutral more but I'm not sure how much it addresses my concern
>>572520697>>572521097I have been playing since Continuum Shift on PS3 and I have no fucking clue what I'm doing to this day. Just hit your drive and drop your combos and have fun.
afgg more like blazpoo faggots
>>572521594that's because es is a crutch character
>>572523169You have a few options that you might be forgetting for what you can do after getting knocked down. You can do a delayed reversal. If you have meter you can use UNI2's dead angle (GRD thrust).If you have vorpal and see your opponent going for a jump in, an overhead attack or something with long startup you can use chain shift and use an anti air or a reversal of sorts to beat it and reset neutral. They also added creeping edge (3D) which gives you a sort of roll to evade attacks with the right timing (be wary of over using this as it can be read and punished accordingly). Those are all of the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
>boot up bbcf to practice my scrubby ragna completely unaware of the new character announcement>wtf 800 players online>queue for ranked>immediately placed with some wetback with 15k matches on azrael>does gorilla bullshit that idk how to play against, do better on the second round but lose the first set>"i'm not figuring him out but i'm okay with it being a learning exper-">frame 1 one and donethis is why this game died.
>>572450769if you spent all that effort practicing fundies instead you wouldn't be in that situation now would you?
Should I relearn Lumina or should i wait for the new version? Hopefully shield will be kill in the new version
>>572534241shield is already basically kill compared to how it was at launch, can't imagine it gets any worse
>>572535395it doesn't need nerfs, it needs to get reworked
>>572534241b urself
>>572534241Wait. Dead game right now (and always)
who strokin they shit
>>572499856Yes, that would be very retarded. If they do announce a balance patch, feel free to doompost because 100% she will get hit in some way.
Top 8 was good, but GF was very underwhelming.
>>572534241Its fun.
queue up....
>>572542823Fenrich vs Xcal was some of the best Blazblue I've seen in my life and rivaled the Ryuusei vs Fenrich sets from 2017.Unfortunately seemed like Fenrich was not prepared for Susanoo
>>572544667>was some of the best Blazblue I've seen in my lifeit was legitimately one the best fighting game sets ive seen in my life only rivaled by some legendary SFIV sets
>>572542823I don't know I enjoyed watching that shit. After watching how well he dismantled xCal, watching him go ??? against Susanoo felt great because I'm a scrub and that's also my response to that fucking character.
I heard the new player experience in BB rn is that you go from fighting people who turned on the game for the first time straight into Bananaken
>>572546790Just avoid orange and pink squares as they're typically the players with thousands of hours. Yellow squares are more likely intermediate players or players who are new to BB but not new to fighting games. Light green square and below are more likely to be new players.
>>572547494I played BB years ago and have no interest in going back to it, I was speaking generallyI do want to learn UNI2 and and MBTL now though
>>572547590>I do want to learn [savant crackhead schizo game] and [baby mode googoogaga game]what the fuck
>>572475461I doubt they will drop a balance patch, at least not until they decide if they want to keep releasing content for bbcf or stop at trinityAt best I can see them doing very small tweaks to the very best and very worst characters, anything more runs the risk of fucking up a game people have been playing for a decade and completely ruin their blazblue revival
Played with a very good nip kokonoe,got a nice headache out of it.
Wonder if the plan is to keep having DLC until they have everyone at this rate.
When should I use Azrael’s divekick I feel like I shouldn’t be using it very much
>>572558139Anti AA option, you use it to delay your fall to whiff punish shorter anti-airs. It's not too useful if your opponent doesn't anti-air.
Where the lobbies
>>572563103I have one open right now if you want, i'll have to go to work soon sadly.
