The SRK Blazblue General Discussion Thread

damn that ragna player seems to no whats hes doing

um i take it you didn’t get a chance to play / play against arakune yet?

(and to a lesser extent rachel too)

Arakune’s air and possibly Rachel high flying fights look more relaxing than GG’s Flying all the way on Top of the Stage. Possibly because BB doesn’t zoom out as much or at all!

thanks to bloodcrave from dustloop for finding these

Haha @ the end of the second video. Carl gets his super blocked but Noel still gets grabbed by the puppet.

I really like Carl so far.

Third video has a crazyyyyy Noel. That 18 hit combo was great. And she chained her air super from her grab. I think.

:rofl: I feel your pain. Who knows what kind of crazy things will pop up in this game though.

Game looks awesome, I really wish I went out to EVO08 just to get a chance to play it. Are all these videos from local tests in Japan or are there actual cabs in the US?

AOU 2008 is where this new batch of videos are coming from. The game won’t be in arcades until late November.

Actually, I believe these are all taken from the recent AM Show. AOU 2008 was back in February if I remember correctly.

That explains those crazy combos Noel did. Apparently she’s been nerfed since then.

thanks to akira form dustloop, who got it from Fairuzons of blazblue.com

looks like an opening to me, awesome new song and some sneak peaks at the bosses!

Got a request. In the Street Fighter 4 videos section they have a link for a live RSS feed from TRF. When BlazBlue hits officially , could someone post something similar in this thread. Being able to watch live BlazBlue matches would rock!:woot:
That is if one can be found.:wonder:

Awesome, but I didn’t see the bosses. Must have been where they quickly flash two characters.

yeah, those two silhouettes at 1:15 are v13 and Haku-men

From watchin those vids, I swear it makes it look like you can tech out juss about everything, but I understand that combos in this game are still at a novice level…

Okay so my theory on how Nirvana/Carl’s puppet works.

So from what I hear it attacks using the drive button. when you’re not inputting a command for it, it just stands idle and is invulnerable to attacks. Once you input a command is when a big spark appears and Nirvana becomes active at which it is vulnerable to attacks. Sometimes I see it attacking, sometimes I see it just walking and other times I see it both walking and attacking.

My guess is that she works off of negative edge like little Eddie in GG. You can hold down the drive button to make her walk but she won’t attack until you input the directional command for a move and then release the drive button. I also noticed like little Eddie, when Nirvana does an attack it drains its health bar just a like a an attack on her would. Talk about balance. Her bar is both her health bar and her attack meter. Watching the Rachel vs Carl match I noticed how when both times Nirvana had to recharge its meter it was not because Rachel hit it but because Nirvana did an attack that depleted the last bit of meter it had. D= Well I’ll be.

Anybody else have any ideas what the deal is? This is all my guess. Surely somebodies played her or some info a while back was release about how Nirvana works that I missed.

I’ve played Carl (shh), and it’s similar to what you say, Zoogstin. There isn’t anything with negative edge. You just press a direction + a button, or hold the button down to move her.

Sounds like that big bang beat character.

God I can’t wait for this game. Now that Arcade Infinity has those two HD cabinets here’s hoping BB gets one.
