you're punished for turtling -- if you defend for too long, you get NEGATIVE WARNING and red streaks appear on your character and you take double damage

which is awesome, turtling is for looooooosers

wait there is a damage penalty for turtling now. Ouch

In GG you normally lost all of the tension you built in the bar and it takes a longer time to refill.

It's great; instead of turtles, it seems to be distinguished mentally-challenged fellows who barrier burst in the beginning of the round and then rush at you. Makes it so much easier to win, lol.

I had my first flowchart Taokaka "spammer" tonight. He beat my Litchi the first match (PS3 version) but there was some slight input lag on my end (wife was watching streaming videos). So I just switched to Tager the next match and PWNED the shit out of him. He just kept rushing in and doing tons of crouching AAAAAAAAAAAAAA, so I'd just push-block him away and either hit him with the overhead sledge or 360 him to death. Quite satisfying.

This is what I thought in the beginning too, but it's not hard to manage what's going on at all. It really just means you get more options, and it's always fun as hell sandwiching opponents between Carl and his Robot or Litchi and her pole (during a super). I've come back and won from that particular Litchi super; you can really pile on the hurt if it's successful.

The PSN Tager streak CONTINUES with a new record: I kicked the shit out of a level 46 player and jumped to level 18.

This shit's getting pathetically easy; please someone put me in my place and beat me already.

EDIT: I jinxed myself!

A V-13 player got me, but it was close. I am still laughing at how easy it has been killing fools with Tager though.

I would take you up on that challenge but this game has been kicking the crap out of me. I'm usually pretty adept at fighting games but my losing streak is so bad it's embarassing. I have the next few days off so I'll be putting some time to better myself at this game.

I've just been playing ranked because I don't have much of a personal stake on how well I do, so I can say that the ranked matchmaking is infinitely better in BlazBlue than what it's been with SF4. Super easy finding an opponent, etc., since the game just matches you right up. It's just more convenient, even if sometimes it will match up my lvl 6 bitch ass with a lvl 26er.

It's only a bitch because of retardo PSN making you go into invite mode and then only friends can get invitations. Much easier and more convenient on 360.

Well it does seem that anyone can send a friend invite on PSN. On 360 ONLY the host can invite people into games.

It's awesome on both systems, but the 360 version is better by a little bit. Also it's nice being able to TALK to people IN GAME WITH A MIC on 360.

Hook me up with some TAGER strats. I'm having a difficult time...i just button mash and do the torpedo and sledge and occasionally win thanks to how much damage his normal attacks do. The 360 for the piledriver is just a pain in the ass to pull off consistently...it's a bit unforgiving

Rman · « **Reply #145 on:** July 07, 2009, 11:02:53 PM »

Just got the game on 360.

MCD · « **Reply #146 on:** July 09, 2009, 01:09:18 PM »

my brief impressions from the 360 version:

- amazing graphics, the 2d sprites mesh well together with the 3d backgrounds and they don't look distracting unlike KOF12 (from what i saw from the old videos anyway).

- monster of a netcode! played two matches with total strangers via quick match and no lag whatsoever once the fight started then went ahead and made a fucking lobby (READ THAT CAPCOM? A FUCKING LOBBY!) with some pals and no lag as well.

- game is very, very easy for the casuals and at the same time made for hardcore combo distinguished effete fellows that love to keep you hanging up in the air doing jackshit and some characters can be really broken (i kept button mashing Noel and landed some awful combos with two fucking ultras or whatever they call them with absolutely no effort at all).

- presentation is very nice, lots of options here and there but the story mode is...i dunno, i prefer SF4 quick story mode instead of the animu visual novel like faggotry here but maybe this will change when i play with more characters and not just Ragna.

- some characters designs are questionable, for example Ragna is a ripoff of Allen Walker from D.Gray-man not that D.Gray-man designs are original or anything but still, also Ragna and Jin are similar to Sol and Ky which makes me wonder why they axed Guilty Gear and made this, they could have shuffled some characters and kept the same brand.

and oh, one last thing that made me confused, what's with graphics scale set to type A? some of the screen went out of the tv borders when it was set to that (it was the default option) changed it to style B and all is good, my TV is Samsung series 6 LCD 1080p if it matters.

bork · « **Reply #147 on:** July 09, 2009, 01:30:24 PM »

They started over because Sega/Sammy now owns the Guilty Gear IP, not Arc System Works. There is no story mode in SF4, by the way. If you want the same "quick" experience, play the arcade mode.

Did the color packs ever hit PSN? There's three of them on 360 for 160 points each (or all three for 400 points), and they use some interesting schemes. You can make Litchi look like Morrigan, Bang look like Strider, and Jin look like KY.

www.dustloop.com is your friend!

If you can't do the 360 and 720 motions consistently, you may not want to use Iron Tager. You need to be able to bust those out at the right times. Basic tips are that you can do his 360 off of a backdash, his projectile will go through other projectiles, MAGNETIZE THE SHIT OUT OF FOOLS so you can grab them from farther away, and remember that Tager's sledge will also stop a lot of projectile spam stuff. Got an Arakune player who keeps trying to curse you with dem bees? Do Tager's B Sledge (and qcf A follow up); it will stop him like every single time. You can do Tager's spinning lariat super off his projectile too, BTW.

I want to say yes, but have no idea really. I thought I read somewhere that Guilty Gear 2 on 360 was supposed to be the last game in the series, but then why would Sega even bother getting the right?

GGXX Accent Core is still in the top 10 most popular arcade list though. BlazBlue is #3 and GGXX AC is #6 currently.

And yeah, BB is so much easier to get into than GG ever was. I think all of Arc's non-GG games are like this, but unlike Hokuto No Ken and Basara X, BB's character balance is far better and the game system isn't so fucked up.

This is also carried over from Guilty Gear, iirc, although lockdown can get so crazy in that game that "turtling" isn't quite the right word for it.
