BLAZBLUE: Q&A For newcomers (PLEASE POST/CHECK HERE BEFORE MAKING A THREAD!)

Is it easy to find matches online in this game? Or does it take some time?

It can be pretty easy.

Keep in mind when trying to join rooms online that you cannot join while the players in the room are in middle of a match as such don’t get discouraged if you get a lot of failures to join

Is BB worth getting an expensive stick for (like TE) ? Or can I get away with a midrange price stick?

That’s hard to answer since it’s largely dependent on the individual. If you’ve never played on a stick before you can probably get away with a midrange stick. It’s not really the game that dictates what kind of stick you need as much as the person, at least in my humble opinion heh.

Hey guys this may be a dumb question but how do you escape a Jin throw spammer? I tried counter throwing but that didn’t work… I tried just straight up breaking out of the ice by mashing the D pad but they just get another throw in before I can break free. I’m running into a lot of players doing this in ranked matches… that and the ice car spam (but I can beat those kinds of Jin’s)

Don’t spam throw tech. If you realize a throw is coming and start spamming B+C, it doesn’t matter if any of those presses were in time to give you a throw tech, the game won’t give it to you. You can option select by holding back and pressing A+B+C which nets you a throw tech and barrier, however, you will still have to time a throw tech.

Thanks. Yes I was getting irritated and mashing it so I’ll try what you said. Thanks.

This might have been answered in another thread but is there some sort of chatroom, IRC or otherwise, for the people here that play Blazblue?

Good question! I have no idea…

So how exactly do you guys practice Rachels Wind Combos? do you break the combo in 2-3 segments(you practice the non-wind segment first, get used to it and do the same for the wind segment). I know for sure her combo strings are usually long so I have a hard time remembering long macro inputs.

I usually just use the wind the same time as the combo.
Like B > C+D > C > 236B Blah blah blah.

But for her J.3C+D > B > Blah blah,
There’s a bit of a timing for that. I would just recommend to just play Rachel alot. You’ll pretty much understand how wind timings will work. :rock:

I don’t think that’s what he meant.

I haven’t put in any time with Rachel, but whenever I learn a combo I break it down into manageable chunks. I’m not sure that breaking Rachel down into wind/non-wind is the best way to go. I know with Noel what I did was take the combo, cut it in half learn each half. Then I go back to the whole combo and cut it into thirds, learn the middle third. That way I’ve learned both the beginning, and the ending as well as the transition.

It can be difficult or impossible to do this with some combos. You have to find a break point where the game state is fairly neutral.

Any European PS3 owners get their copy from Renchi.com ?

Ive heard good things about them, and their the only place I could find the game for at a reasonable price (least for the Asian version). My only gripe is unlike most Chinese stores they never state that they will mark the package as a gift, therefore almost avoiding custom’s.

Did anybody else who ordered from them get stung for custom’s duty ?, also how long did you have to wait using regular ass mail ?.

I got mine from Video Games Plus.

Payed total of 77,5 canadian bucks and they didn’t do any problems with postage to Poland.

Took them 7 days.

If renchi has similar price i think it’s better to get american version (easier to get DLC from US PSN shop)

Is there any reason BlazeBlue wont run

every time i try to play it it always freezes up at the intro or the main menu. what can i do to fix this
im on a 360 btw:lame:

Do you try to update at the start? Sometimes funky things happen at the update process.

Do you clean your 360? Sort of how you clean your computer try to use some compressed air in your 360. I really dunno what the problem is though.

it updated but its working for now. ill try to clean it later on today

this game is for from balanced…look at V-13

When you press R1 to sort search results in network mode, on what criteria is the sorting based? It sure isn’t alphabetical, and I can’t see any ascending/descending trends in the other details.
