Game: BlazBlue Series

[Ryllharu]

well we are playing CT not CS and there is no such slash, or at least it is not in the move's list.

It's not going to be in the special move lists, his normals swat projectiles. Pretty much any C button attack.

In CT it builds his meter just like using his counters, in CS the void appears, and its timer resets every time it eats another projectile.

well we are playing CT not CS and there is no such slash, or at least it is not in the move's list. he can use his distortion-drive counter to counter swords, but i can easily dodge it. Zantetsu uses too much magatama to be a good counter, same goes for kicks.
Nu is not broken - she requires extreme amount of concentration - one mistake in swords or anything and you can say goodbye to 4/5 of her hp. Bursting is deadly for her - after burst she has even lower defence.

Actually she is. "Requiring concentration" doesn't make a character worse. Nu is one of the best characters in CT, only losing out to Rachel and I think Arakune.

[Xelbair]

Arakune and Rachel are my worst nightmares, along with Jin.
Carl is the most broken one - he has the endless loop.
I'll give that advice to my friend, Ryll, if he gets better i'll get better too after fighting him.

[Ryllharu]

Carl is also one of the hardest characters to play. Anyone who can pull off the CT endless juggle loop deserves to win.

Beating Rachel is easy (coming from someone who mained as her). Get in close and your only problem will be the electric chair. Rachel will beat you in anti-air, and if she can't get her traps out, it is tough for her to win. Stopping George is child's play with Nu, just use her normal drive attack when Rachel is bringing him out, you'll be at the perfect range. Both Nu and Rachel are zone characters, but Nu can hit Rachel faster. Unlike most characters, Rachels will usually be in Nu's optimum range (because it also happens to be Rachel's) for her normal Drives and a good number of her specials. Arcade Boss Nu was always a nightmare for me.

[Xelbair]

Most problematic thing for me is her wind - it always moves me out of range - also I'm not that good melee fighter with nu yet - I have long way to go.
Well - what if someone can only pull off endless loop? he caught me in it once but i wasn't stupid enough to fall for same trap again and I won the whole match - still i had OMGWTF look at my face when it was happening.

P.S. Archie - i still can't get used to that D in BB stands for Drive not for Dust - that caused confusion..

Valkenhayn 6-10 Challenges

Distortion Drives and Astral Heat

[RyougaZell]

Valkenhyan released early I assume. He was supposed to be released until today, but I noticed Version 1.02 online yesterday. I wasn't in the mood to wait for it to download... and Sony also released a new firmware, so I just played offline yesterday (story mode).

I'll download the update and buy Valkenhyan today.

Though Im still dissapointed they don't have story mode.

Have you heard if there are plans for Story mode for Makoto, Valkenhyan and Platina?

[Marik]

Have you heard if there are plans for Story mode for Makoto, Valkenhyan and Platina?

Nah, I haven't heard of any plans for that. They probably won't have stories until BlazBlue 3.

[RyougaZell]

Nah, I haven't heard of any plans for that. They probably won't have stories until BlazBlue 3.

Which sucks since they seem to have their attention currently centered on the Arcade Port of the Console Version (dubbed Continuun Shift 2)

And holy heck... the Imperator, Relius, Jubei, Kokonoe, Phantom... we got tons of Story Mode only characters that deserve to have a playable character next.

Looks like Japanese PS3 owners will be the only ones with the dlc for a while. The 360 version was already delayed in Japan, because they couldn't get the data to load and now it's delayed for both systems in North America.

The Valkenhayn DLC in North America was originally scheduled to happen like this: The 360 version would be released on the same date in NA and Japan, and the PS3 version would be released on 9/28. Unfortunately, Arc has only recently discovered some complications with the code, and the release has been delayed. Unfortunately this is all we know currently, but I will update this topic with more information as we receive it.

I hate the fact that Akysys not only charges more for the DLC on PS3, but they also release them after the other console. That's not equal.

Anyway... I played against a Valkenhyan yesterday. The guy must have been Japanese. And he must have been testing the character cause I won with no problem <___<.

I also managed to score my first Astral Heat on an online match


Wow at the bug fixes. Hadn't notice any of them <___<

Have you guys seen the OP for CS II yet? If not here it is..

Here's one that's subbed, but the video quality is terrible.

mediafire or direct download?

Any news on when Platinum will be released for PS3? I know they are delaying here because they haven't been able to integrate Valkenhyan to the Xbox360

[Marik]

mediafire or direct download?

Huh!? They're YouTube links.

No one has a release date for Platinum yet. Continuum Shift comes out in Europe on December 21st, so they'll probably release them around the same time.

Youtube is blocked here. I'll wait until I get home at night.

And it sucks about Platinum. I've been looking for an excuse to play again.

[Marik]

Valk is finally coming to the 360 . Now I can finally pick up the game. I wasn't gonna purchase it if they couldn't release him. His purchase price is reduced for 5 weeks also.

Arc System Works has released a title update for BlazBlue: Continuum Shift. This will address the Ragna freezing bug that popped up after Valkenhayn Hellsing was introduced into Continuum Shift.

On December 7, Xbox 360 owners will finally be able to purchase Valkenhayn Hellsing as downloadable content. As an apology for the wait, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift players can purchase the DLC pack for 320 Microsoft Points ($4) between December 7 and January 10, 2011. Afterwards, Arc System Works will raise the price to 560 Microsoft Points ($7), which puts Valkenhayn on par with Makoto another DLC character.

[Ryllharu]

This is great news! Hopefully us poor 360 owners will have no issues with Platinum when she's ready for release.

[RyougaZell]

And hopefully us PS3 users aren't punished again because the Akysys team working on the Xbox360 failed again. Platinum was pushed indefinitely on PS3 because of this issue ¬¬

[RyougaZell]

I just pre-ordered this
