BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma EXTEND announced!

After playing a bit of CS Extend’s Story mode, I’ve decided to just buy the unlock for Kagura instead of slogging through Story mode when I get Chrono Phantasma next week.

If there’s a lobby or something around 8 or 9-ish, feel free to send me an invite/add at L-W-X, since I can always use practice anyway.

GGs Livewire and phantom shit was mad fun :smiley:

GGs. Noel and Hazama leave me confused lol…

I have a hard time againt noels myself,luckily livewire’s wasnt like one’s ive faced who only mash on air D it was a nice pace of change. Im surprise you didnt catch on my gimmicks I was mostly relying on my 214 D~A and 236 D after every string i believe hazama is unsafe after 214 D~A.

Haha, yeah, I’m kind of surprised I didn’t either. I’d say it’s time I started putting time back into this game consistently instead of the odd “oh right, I have a PS3!” session, lol.

The thing with me when I play Noel is that I always get kind of annoyed by the stereotype of “all Noel does is mash D”, so I tend to try and use my normals more, even though I sometimes unintentionally do so when there are situations where using a Drive attack would be preferable.

Anyone up for some games right now?

I’ll probably be on for around an hour until Wrestlemania starts just doing whatever, so maybe.

Okay, and I see that your PSN is “L-W-X”.

If you’re interested just let me know and I’ll send you the invite.

Practice makes perfect it seems:

Just got the game today! I ordered the Limited Edition from Amazon last week, and I wouldn’t have expected it to come so early (Amazon posted a delivery date for the 12th).

Stuff can move pretty promptly once the initial rush is gone, I think.

Well I couldn’t find any copies at my local GameStops, and what copies I could find only had the standard edition.

I probably should have gotten the standard edition but I had an extra $30 so I figured I might as well splurge a bit for the LE. I spent the extra $20 for the LE of CS Extend.

Man, BlazBlue is pretty expensive for a so-called “poverty” game

Ordered the game today. Should have it on thursday or friday!

Trying to pick this game up, though the learning process (both mental and physical, @#$! my execution!) is kinda rough so far. That said, looking for some people to train against, hit me up on psn if you’ve got time :smiley:

I’m really not enjoying how hard it is to hitconfirm decently in this game. Hitstop is TOO low in my opinion, and hitboxes seem super wonky compared to previous games. Weird crap like random sideswitching and characters getting pushed out of range for combos for no good reason are really frustrating.

BBCP 1.1 (Update) working/in progress tier list, for those who care.

All tier lists are “in progress” at all times, but this one seems pretty legit. Except for Ragna. How the heck did he get all the way up there? Well, okay, and I was expecting Relius to be higher.

Good job nerfing Tager, Arc Sys! He was almost playable for a while there!

Also, good job nerfing Kokonoe. It’s not like she didn’t have a crap ton more broken stuff than just the handful of setups you deemed nerfworthy.

Well, at least Hazama isn’t top tier for, like, the first time ever. Suuure. He and Valk and Tao will never not be S-tier because of their “Designs”

Seriously though, this is pretty much exactly what I could have told you the tier list would look like based on the change list:

  • Bullet, Terumi, Izayoi no longer suck, but none of them are ‘good’ either.
  • Makoto still sucks
  • Tager nerfed because Tager.
  • Nothing meaningful for the characters who were in “almost bottom tier” - pretty much all of them are still there.
  • Characters who were ‘pretty good’ before mostly didn’t change.
  • Valk/Tao/Hazama got real nerfs and are now where everyone should be (“Pretty good” tier)
  • Litchi drops down a tiny bit, but her nerfs were laughable compared to the other former S-tier characters.
  • Azrael, who was already edging towards top tier before, got basically no nerfs except a 1 frame change to his backdash, becomes top tier.
  • Okay, I have no idea what’s up with Carl either.
  • Kokonoe nerfed a little, but still stupid good in way too many ways, remains top tier, and probably about the same ‘distance’ above the new ‘rest of top tier’ because that’s lower now. More manageable for characters who didn’t get nerfed, however.

In my own defense, I’ve always said “Valk/Tao/Hazama won’t be lower than A tier because of how they are”…and well, Valk’s listed as A+, while Hazama and Tao are “A”, so…I wasn’t exactly wrong. It seems like Mu got slight nerfs and Nu got slight buffs, as I remember Mu being A+ instead of A, and Nu being B+ instead of A/A-, but it’s not super big.

As for Ragna, he’s always been A to A+ tier. The only version that he wasn’t, was CS1, where he was A- to arguably B+, so it’s not really a change.

I just want the patch so I can make some more high damage Noel combos that everyone says are too hard for some reason. Also for trying out new Kokonoe.
