Last Blade 2

Sup guys, I got the chance to finally play last blade 2(a week ago) and im hooked. The game has so much style. I use mame 32/kallera. I have a couple of other arcade emulators as well. Im looking for some ppl to play against and even new ppl too. Thats cool as well because, everyone has to start somewhere. My name on kallera is usually Ryujin/kyo. I also play alot of other fighting games too. My aim screen name is Sirkilik, if u want to play just gimme a IM and ill be game. If u want u could leave ur screen name and I could get back to you.

TrueTeezy talk to me whenever i’m still learning my characters but i’m willing to play someone new

User name is MiyagiShin X. Im on usually Mame fighting games or Idgames servers. Just IM me to say if u wanna play

whew just got my controller back from my friend. Time to go back to the training room and train in 100 times gravity, lol. I hope to bring new life in the Last Blade 2 comp.

HellSap
yeah, we should get more comp together and shit

I also play LB2 :slight_smile: glad to see there people that still do.

hmmm maybe a tournament would bring ppl out, that is if any is willing to host it?

hmmm maybe a tournament would bring ppl out, that is if any is willing to host it? I remeber playing some really good ppl when i first picked up the game. A tournament would be perfect to get ppl in the groove again. Any one that has experience hosting tournaments hit me up on AIM, Sirkilk or my email Realballa18@hotmail.com.

See my FAQ if you like this game :slight_smile: You can see in http://es.geocities.com/masacroso or http://www.iespana.es/masacroso2

Tournament would be cool, but of all the guys I know who plays LB2, I don’t know of anyone with experiance hosting one.

I think a difficult part with hosting LB2 tournament would be (aside from organizing the competitors) to set up a rule for it. Without restrictions, I’m pretty sure some of the less experianced players end up not enjoying the competition playing against “scrub” players.

  1. Will infinites be allowed?
  2. Will bugged moves be allowed? (Zantetsu JAC, Lee JAC, Zantetsu jump-cancel, Zantetsu’s JC repeat, kick finisher on downed Kaede, Shigen’s air-throw cancel, etc.)
  3. What would be the penalty for using the banned moves? Dropping a round or disqualification of that match?
  4. What would happen in the case of accidental bugs? ( Washizuka’s super on Akari bug, Juzoh’s command throw bugs, etc.)

If we really want a tourney going, it’d be nice if we can discuss through these stuff and come up with a rule that allow most of us to enjoy the competition.

I agree with u Abar. We should discus what woukd be allowed.

1.Infinitys (should be banded)

2.Bugged moves hmm maybe they shouldn’t be allowed or abuse it’s bugs

3.They could be banded but give them one round sounds dumb maybe awhole match.

4.They would be allowed since it would be acidental.

Good stuff, looks like things are rolling.

I also think that infinites should be banned. The bugged moves and stuff like that should not be used , we can make a rule like: if used the first time, nothing happens (because accidents do happenen). THe second time, the player sacrifices a match (ex: 3 out of 5, player gives opponent 1 victory.). Prior to making this tournament a reality, i would like to ask if anyone knows of a website that gives info on the bugs and glitches, so all of us can point them out and futher discuss the rules for this upcoming tournament.

To be honest, I dont mind hosting the tournament, I just want to know who's in.  But lets get the rules straight out first.  Oh yeah, Abar who are the friends that u told me that u play with that are good?  Mind asking them to post on here as well? THis goes out to anyone else.  Most likely ill host the tournament in the 2nd week in dec. We could always do a singles tournament then a doubles Tournament (To make things interesting, of course)

Heh… rule # 1 if any of you are smart, is to either ban Abar, or give him a prize now. Have none of you seen “the color of money”?

I highly doubt this will be a tourney at all, but a severe lesson in training. That said, i guess I could compete.
I had to register as kneesofbees tho… some dickwad registered shift like two months ago. And never posted. Lame.

I dunno how fun an lb2 tourney would be though. Being poked to death with zan or kagami? moriya cancel teleport? I dunno…

Haha, that’s sort of true, though I doubt I’d actually play in the tourney other than help organize it. (Though I’d love to see the recordings of the matches.)

As for a list of bugs, I’m pretty certain I know most of the bugs that influence the game balance a lot.

  1. Zantetsu and Lee’s JAC: Allows those characters to repeat JA moves by pressing AC togather in the air.
  2. Zantetsu’s JC repeat: Pressing any 7C in midair will allow Zantetsu to use JC multiple times.
  3. Moriya’s teleport cancel: Pressing AC after Moriya’s A or B teleport cancel the lag
  4. Kaede’s face-down wakeup bug: If Kaede is struck with a kick or slash finisher on a ground when he’s face down, he can’t use rolling wakeup. (Allows for sure-hit speed special setup)
  5. Akari’s hind-super bug: When Akari is struck with Washizuka’s super from behind when she is using fake-sleep, she will either be stuck in Washizuka super motion for a long time.
  6. Akari’s wake-up related IK: Akari’s non-rolling wakeup have unavoidable hit registeretion after getting knocked down by certain moves, allowing for an IK combo.
  7. Ground-throw loop on Lee, Mukuro and Akari: Characters with air-throws can perform 2 ~ 3 ground throw loops on the above characters, allowing for IK combo.
  8. Unawakened Kaede jump attack bugs: Doing fireball command allows Kaede to perform jump A or B attacks repeatedly.
  9. Jump-cancel bugs: Zantetsu and Akari can jump-cancel certain moves, allowing for high-damage combos.

There are some other minor bugs, but they are rare to occur in a match and won’t influence the game balance.

Personally, I too think infinites should be banned, as well as bugs involving JAC repeated more than once. Moriya’s teleport cancel shouldn’t be banned unless used as an infinite or a loop more than once. Same goes for Akari’s use of 4B repeatedly, and Zantetu’s 236A.

This maybe controversial, but I think the two lowest tier characters (Yuki and Okina) should get maybe a 25% health handicapp since there’d be no way those two characters can take on some top tier characters as is.

Disagree on the health penalty.

One time i met this guy playin okina like the perfect turtle he is.
Power okina. I could beat him, but just barely. His only stategy was to run away and throw turtles, using the a version of the teleport to run more effectively.

When i did get in close i would eat his a, dp+a combo. Im not sure if this was cause he was usin some sort of autofire, or i just sucked that day. He had also memorized the optimal distance for the dp+b.

What i was seein was a perfectly turtled okina. He admitted to not having any other real strats, and that usually ppl quit after just a few games with him. Never ever saw him again tho. I sure wouldnt wanna give that guy a 25% handicap. Nope siree.

Anyway…are you sure the kaede wakeup bug isnt a little revenge for his ability to whack you with a super almost at will?

And i think lee can jump cancel into his qcf+c. Is that a bug too? i abuse the hell outta that.

:shake:

Well Shift, you forgot that you can air-block Okina’s turtles, which, after landing, you have enough time to dash in and land him a wooping. Though, it will try your patience having to repeat the damn thing over and over.

Lee’s midair qcf C ain’t jump-cancellable…its just a feature that it can be done at very low altitude. (If your opponent blocks it, he can command-throw you on the landing.)

i dont think there should be a health penalty, cuz if a person wants to play with the low tiers than thats thier choice. I dont hold tier to highly but i acknowledge them to know what i have to deal with, but thats something that can start another thread.

Tournament

So, any plans on tournament? Actually, if its just managing 16 people to play through a tournament, we can just do what ppl did with A3 tourney…let people play their matches for a span of maybe a week, and report their status here.
