The SRK Blazblue General Discussion Thread

I appreciate the direction they’re headed here. The overall art style is beautiful. The characters seem slightly more normal than that of the GG world. At least, I don’t see any little boys dressed as nuns fighting with yoyo’s, yet. They’ve still kept their style, though, which is good. ASW is getting good at what they do. =)

By far the best looking fighter to premiere at AOU

The backgrounds in this game still amaze me. I like how bounces still affect the background too; like after Tager does his buster on the China level, you see the plate/dish jump out of the lady’s hand XD

This and KOF XII are what SFIV should’ve looked like.

Backgrounds in this are better than KOFXII, but the animation and sprites in KOFXII are better than this. Both games look awesome.

So are people still denying the lack of originality in the character designs when the Potemkin-looking guy has a Heatfist and a Potemkin buster?

Don’t forget around 2:17 he does a perform a one arm Heavenly Pot Buster “Tager Bustah”.:rofl: But it’s cool though. I don’t mind since Tager is the only one…

Looks like Ranga likes to use his sword, fists and legs. AWESOME.

Big shout to RexxxSoprano for the YT link

I had this most wonderful dream where I died and went to heaven- OH WAIT, IT’S JUST THE BLAZBLUE TRAILER :open_mouth:

Dear lord that trailer was infuckingsane. Our fighting game cup doth runneth over this year.

Man I’m so hyped to try out this game. I can’t wait till the entire cast is revealed.

can’t deny that, but it doesn’t change the fact that the game looks AMAZING!!!:lovin:

Smirk

True that! :tup: I’ll disregard the lack of originality as long as the game plays as good as it looks.

Yeah yeah.

My brother was saying how SFIV appeals to him the most. Then goes off about how Blaz Blue looks unoriginal. Saying it’ll play just like Guilty Gear and all the characters look similar to other GG characters. Umm, did you not see that SFIV is using pretty much all of the original cast from SF2 and still plays similar to SF2 with some new systems?

All the new fighters coming out look awesome. Lack of originality or not.

Very true. I was talking in regards to the Potemkin looking guy with the Potemkin looking buster but I understand where your brother is coming from. Looks like it might play a bit stiffer than GG but I can’t honestly say. I thought the same thing about GG before I actually played it.

Yeah, SF:EX four… uh, I mean… SF4 looks unoriginal from the cast but that still won’t deny the fact that it’ll be a 1/2 decent game (maybe).

PS: My brother says the same thing about SF4. But I think he’s waiting for T6 more.

I wanna play Blazeblue 2 so bad. Chea!

Gameplay Footage

I’m actually far more impressed by the gameplay footage than I was by the trailer… it looks much more fluid while actually being played, rather than just a move exhibition

Jin and Ragna are the Sol and Ky of the series. Thats for sure. In the first vid Jin is wearing Ragna’s colors the same thing they do w/Sol and Ky in GG.

Jin’s moves are pretty nice. he has a ice spike like Ky’s CSE, he can summon an ice pike from the ground and ride on ice too.:tup: Not bad at all.

Ranga can combo after his ground throw???:pray: Man I love his combos. he has some punch(could be an overhead) that launches on hit(like a faster BB) and can be comboed afterwards. That dashing punch is really nice and seems to have a 2nd hit followup! That’s what I’m talking about!

The recovery roll is interesting. It seems the Ragna player used it to(kind of) beat Jin’s oki Ice Spike Ride move.

hell yes. The gameplay footy makes me want this even more :confused:
