LOL!
LOL!
Absolutely, positively, NOT TRUE! I was done playing for the night. Kinda funny how my one and only game of Blazblue the entire night was me fighting against an Arakune player. It’s tight fighting a character that’s so confusing and discombobulating when you’re trying to learn how to play the game.
No. I will never stop playing. Not now, not never. I’ll play again and again. And I’ll keep playing.
I promise.
lichi? she looks too normal for my taste hahah
I’m gonna be on this ish when it hit’s like what? This week?
it’s already at gw if that’s what you mean
Console relase date 6/30.
oh, duh
If anybody comes to Gameworks to play BB, I’m trying to pick it up(and failing horribly). A wider variety of people to play would help. Nothing like a tea-drinking, cat-crazed, lightning-throwing vampire loli to brighten up everyone’s day.
I’ll be down there a little more frequently, along with my friend of mine.
I plan on hitting up gw on Monday or tuesday. Should also have the console version by the next scrumble.

Please refer to round two of the Buppa (Jin) vs Doitsu Mura (Arakune) matchup. Note how utterly ridiculous this is. This is why I stopped playing last Friday night. What the fuck is going on?
I wonder if Japanese players even know what’s happening when they’re fighting against Arakune.
I’ll be there for short times probably around 5:00 throughout the week. The Gameworks is right next to the bus stop, so I can hang out there while I wait for my bus.
Arakune is a pretty crazy character.
He has teleports, so if you see him poof! thats a port.
his j.2 a/b/c are downwards dive attacks that curve him in a certain direction…they can cancel into each other (but not two of the same one in a row) j.2a brings him backwards, j.2b will drop him directly down, and j.2c brings him forwards.
The clouds he summons are one of his primary ways to curse. When he does curse, the “negative edge” of each normal attack he does also summons a bug. He can also control which angle some of them come from, but they ALL hit mid, so its not any high/low mixup straight from the bugs…those all come from Arakune himself.
Other than his clouds, his drive attacks usually involve him shooting or summoning some kind of bug or something, and they usually curse too.
If you hit him once, he loses any cloud and you lose any curse.
He is primarily a zoning character with interesting mixup/rushdown, and he becomes very powerful when he curses a foo. I think his primary defensive option other than barrier/blocking is his teleport, and if you figure out where he wants to go its punishable. I think staying on top of him and being cautious is the biggest key to defeating him. His jumps are mostly floaty so he will move by attacking, anti-airs are good there I think. I need to play this game to really figure it out.
Most (if not all) of his tricks seem to be pretty much figured out, I’ve only noticed maybe two different playstyles for him out of all the japanese video’s I’ve watched so far.
In round two there of Jin vs Arakune, Jin got a little reckless while he was cursed and threw out supers so arakune hit him with hella bees, moved in and combo’d his ass. Then Jin was cursed and in a corner which is like “Hallelujah!” for arakune, so he was probably setting Jin up for an unblockable and Jin didn’t escape well and ate nasty bug damage.
BTW that Jin player was NASTY! Tons of good shit from him, saw quite a few new things.
Once you get to know Arakune, that’s actually a pretty standard match. One thing that you have to watch out for is at 3:50. He air spikes jin down, and makes him land on his ground curse move, which lets him send out bugs for the rest of the combo. It’s a great way to set up curses from air combos, and a lot of Arakune players are doing it now.
Aight. I think imma get this game.
I’m going to try this game out on Friday when I hit up GW.
nope won’t be playing this game…it’s too confusing. And I’m trying to focus solely on SFIV.
those who get it for the PS3, hit me up online
this game is too fucking slick
I agree with the Frankest of Danks. Well, at least not seriously. This game really needs Sentinel though.
I got dibs on Bang, if I ever decide to get a tv and another console.
Ok ok. Is it pronounced BLAHZ Blue or BLAZE Blue? I’ve heard both and this kind of thing annoys me.
