I like that the are altering Sim in a way that allows him to better deal with dive kicks (or so it seems, without having a chance to test it yet). The changes to Blanka are very interesting as well.
It was a silly thing to remove in the first place, IMO. Like you’ve pointed out, it’s not a game breaker by any stretch of the imagination. Removing it was just annoying to people that were used to using it. I will admit, however, that training myself not to use it has, by necessity, improved some other aspects of my game.
Also, I ran the original Japanese through google translate, and it appears they are nerfing its damage to 100 (formerly 130 in AE, point blank). It also said something about mustard dog hat parade.
FlyMike! Fuck yes. Sumo baby! I am sooo hype for this, I know it will prolly be dead locally except for your sumo and my sumo. (Yes, I think Taka is boss as fuck in this) But hey it’s gonna be fucking online!
Im not playing fighting games anymore till they finish with these patches… Atleast not seriously! I just cant!
While I dont completely disagree with your feelings that like saying you wont play Madden anymore because of roster changes in the next release.
It’s however completely different from saying that you won’t play Madden anymore because it sucks.
Madden is such mediocre garbage. I don’t see how EA isn’t disbanded for having that bs monopoly over football games. They’re just mad cause Sega was about to get all up in that ass with the 2K series since those ALWAYS looked better. Sega already showed they can make the best basketball game ever and football would have been next.
I’m ready for Cody to get the nerf bat for no reason … should be awesome, CAN’T WAIT … I would be happy if all they did was either (a) keep him the same or (b) give him a decent back dash and slightly faster walk speed … that’s it …
Though, to be honest it really doesn’t matter, change whatever, I’m still going to play with him …
Blazblue is getting another free patch too. But unlike SF4, each and every change actually makes sense and makes the game a bit more balanced. They also don’t give a flying fuck on what the players whine about or want.
Not dogging on SF or anything, just sayin’.
EDIT
I really do want to see what they do with Hakan, T.Hawk, and Zangief in this update.
Trying to hear the blazblue community is like horton trying to hear a who. Really Ark Systems can do whatever they want who’s gonna bitch 3 people?
Astaroth: this was taken from Eventhubs:
Zangief
• Light Punch Spinning Pile Driver does 150 stun. Up from 100 in Arcade Edition.
• EX Green Hand (Banishing Flat) damage 90+50 for a total of 140. Stun 100+50 for a total of 150. Damage in Arcade Edition was 130 and stun was 100.
• Adjusted the hitbox on Crouching Light Punch, so that it hits more easily off a jump-in against characters it formerly didn’t.
• Hurtbox for Crouching Hard Kick reduced in height, making it easier to pass under certain attacks.
Bishop: Thank you, sir 
Jason: as for Honda having his lp headbutt invincibility back -

You can’t hear the Blazblue community over the incessant bitching of SF players.
@ Phil: Thank you good sir. Just found the translated list. Seems like they buffed stun values for a ton of stuff.
I’d rather have a better to play game and have to deal with a few changes than have everyone eventually get tired of Yuns and Fei and have people start quitting. It’s only the third update in three years. It’s not like it’s MK… People always say stuff like “well look at mvc2… everyone played that for 10 years and it was so unbalanced blah blah blah.” Well, if there had been the infrastructure to patch/balance it back then, probably a lot MORE people would have kept playing it and picked it up during that time. The people who think it’s dumb to have 1,000 characters in a game, but if you want any realistic chance of winning against people who know what they’re doing… you can only pick like 5 of them.
Scroll down to the bottom. Script-blocking addons will break it though.

I thought you couldn’t hear the BB community over all the unnecessary screaming and talking the chars go through when just moving around.
that chick in the vid is a.k.a. susana spears…yumm
Hahaha! Now that’s a way to make fun of BB without being a dick about it. Take notes.
BlazBlue sucks.
Lolol Shawn
