BlazBlue Review Thread of WOW and YESS!

yeah, GG is more faster, and in some way BB is a little toned version of GG (no frc, no negative edge, no jump install, no zero frame jumps…)

The reviewer was probably deceived by the fact that there’s so much going on visually in any match that it felt faster.

lol i bet.
He’s probably like. “what the heck is fu-rin-kaze?” does it
OMG I LUFF YOU BANG!

blazblue is most definetly going to be my favorite game for awhile. It got a good review from 1up which is good enough for me. Unfortunatly my only problem is that i keep on getting owned online by the level 40 dudes and im only level 3 but thats how you get better i geuss.

I felt a bit lost when I switched to BB. Normals are used very differently from the SF series. I think this was the biggest adjustment I had to make, I couldn’t zone with the equivalent of c.mk xx hado.

Overall though, I think BB is the type of game I’ve been looking for. Less link centric, more mixups, more offensive, no 18-wheeler sized reversal windows, greater character variety.

There are some balance and gameplay issues. Nu is a bit more dominating than Sagat (which is to say not broken, but makes you go :rolleyes:), but it’s made worse by the fact that even her close-to-even matchups just aren’t that much fun to play.

But overall, I think BB fits me better. Much less focus on strict link timing, more mixups, less focus on turtling, no 18-wheeler sized reversal window, better options for movement/attacking/recovery, and a more diverse roster.

I think SFIV may be a more technical game at high levels, in the sense that pros have to master very strict links and incorporate an extremely precise footsies game (both their own and their opponents). BB seems more free-flowing and has the potential for more creativity on the part of the player.

Of course I’m not a high level player (or even a mid level player), so my impressions are completely wrong, but just some food for thought.

Wow!!! Yesss!!
