Just got it about a week ago, and I've fallen pretty intensely in love with it. I dont think it will ever take the place of my multiplayer fighting soulmate Super Smash, but it is definitely a welcome and needed change up. Its faster than SFIV, with a smaller, more balanced, and more unique cast (it eschews the perfunctory fireballs and uppercuts for characters with truly unique feels and movesets).

The title also reeks of the classic gaming grail of "easy to pick up, difficult to master." I found it wasn't too difficult to start playing for the first time and developing combos. They were small combos, but hey, they're the seeds for greater and bigger things, and it also gives satisfaction and interest to people who pick up the game because of the pro level videos they saw on youtube. Nothing hurts more than watching a video with insane combos and not being able to string more than 3 hits together.

I also very much like the small, first time additions to the game. I've never encountered anything like the barrier burst- an ability to instantly interrupt any combo and blast your enemy away, at the price of taking double damage for the remainder of the round. Its a sort of second wind that can cause exciting, game changing momentum shifts. I also like the ability to recover in air and the moment you hit the ground, in whatever direction you'd like. It reminds me of teching in Super Smash.

Anyway enough of my micro review. Who here plays!? And what do you think? How does it stack up to other fighters? Can I play with you!? Who do you main?! Love me?

I love it, too, but you already knew that.

For everyone else, I think it's a fantastic fighter and definitely holds its own against the big popular franchises. I main as Ragna, though I also play as Tao a bit.

and you and me already play almost every day haha

Rocking Tager and Carl, aka the manliest men in the game

BlazBlue is a pretty cool game. I mean, I like it. It's got some serious matchup problems, but it's not too bad, and it's pretty easy to learn. I, uh... If you want to get good at this game, you probably owe it to yourself to check out Dustloop.

I don't think I've gotten deep enough to find too many of the match-up problems you're referring to. I'm not at all suggesting you're incorrect, merely that I'm curious about some of the match up problems. I can see Tager VS Carl being impossible for obivous reasons. Any others?

Also, I main as Jin. I second as Bang for the same reason I second as Captain Falcon. THEY are the manliest and make me cackle every time I win with them. I also <3 Bangs special where he goes into a super corny anime-esque power up.

No way man it's all about Rhapsody of Memories

That move is way too good

Also, it's not really that there's a lot of matchups that are really, really one-sided, but mostly the top three in the game (Nu-13, Rachel, Arakune) are just way better than everyone else, and also Tager is by far the worst character. Even amongst the top 3 there's pretty big discrepencies; Nu just shuts Arakune down completely, for instance.

I guess I just haven't really played on a pro level yet, so I haven't seen the huge tier valleys myself. I have experienced a good online Nu though.

That sucked many dicks.

Hm, I dunno about this. The vid I saw had a LOT of things going on at the screen, like some special attack that almost makes you unable to see the characters and stuff.

It's just too much going on. Too much of a mess on-screen.

What you probably saw was an Astral Finish move, a super special that can only be used under certain circumstances (last round, opponent at 20% life or lower). They're very cinematic game finishers. Most specials aren't too overdone.

Yeah, that gameplay footage is interspersed with scenes from the opening and profile pictures. It's nowhere near that cluttered in actual gameplay.

Ah, good. I should look up some actual gameplay videos. Europe will get the game later this year.

Yeah, Blazblue is pretty amazing. I main the great Bang Shishigami, and my subs rang from Tao to Tager to Hakumen to Carl. My friend uses Ragna, which is why my card says Rawrgna as a secondary. Also, it was my first platinum trophy game.
