*goes to research this "BlazBlue"*

Fighting game on two platforms I don't own. *shrug*

[fluentLOVE]

grr i want to play this, but no PS3 or 360

might pick up a PS3 soon along with a decent stick

[Cadmas]

I'll get it later when the price drops. Does this game have instant kills?

The ability to switch between Japanese and English voices

Thank Suwako. I hate it when you can't switch.

Also says Jubei as an nonplayable character. Hes everywhere lately they got him in the samurai shodown.

*lives in Europe and only just found out that not only are we getting no 360 release but the US release is region-locked*

So yeah, accurate depiction of my feelings right now.

I'll get it later when the price drops. Does this game have instant kills?

Think Astral Finishes are basically IKs.

[Edible]

Get the PS3 release, Rou.  Region-free.

[Cadmas]

Who has a Ps3?
I'm poor.

Think Astral Finishes are basically IKs.

Not that they matter anyway. They can only be used on the last round when the enemy has only 1/3 of their health left and you have 100% Heat gauge.

[FinnKaenbyou]

Get the PS3 release, Rou.  Region-free.

DO I LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF STUPID HIPSTER IDIOT WHO OWNS A PS3I don't have a PS3, unfortunately. :/

[Sana]

I've already got the PS3 version preordered. Can't wait!

Man I can imagine some white collar average joe picking up his coffee and his paper and looking at the front page and going "what the fuck is this"

That pretty much owns. NOW DO NOT IMAGE LEECH.

[Nuclear Cheese]

This game has consumed almost all of my free time since its release on Tuesday.  I'm currently playing Ragna, with the intent of switching to Nu once I get used to her play style.

Game is mad hype among the fighting game scene; I'm gonna be chillin' with a bunch of people tomorrow and playing the hell out of this! :toot:

[Edible]

I picked up the 360 version on my way to work.  Will play it a bit when I get home.

[Letty Whiterock]

goddamn people get a ps3 so I can play you

[Cadmas]

Mail me moneys.

[Edible]

Buy me a copy for PS3 and sure.

I have one, it's just I know more people with 360s.

[Letty Whiterock]

Buy me a copy for PS3 and sure.

I have one, it's just I know more people with 360s.

More people own the PS3 version, though. :<

[Vile Lasagna]

I have the PS3 but there's no sign of an European release. I might have to import it but... UGH!

[Edible]

I am completely awful at this game. :|

[Chainsaw Guitar]

More people own the PS3 version, though. :<

Not entirely true. More people own the 360 version, but the PS3 version has better competition since the PS has always been the console standard for fighters.

I am completely awful at this game. :|

1. If you're playing on a pad, then for the love of god get a stick.
2. If you already have a stick and are still sucking, then this site will give you all the help you need.

Not entirely true. More people own the 360 version, but the PS3 version has better competition since the PS has always been the console standard for fighters.

I've seen the online rankings. The numbers showed that there are more PS3 players than 360 players, and really, with the way that Aksys has been pushing the game, I'm more inclined to believe that anyone who owns this game bought so they could eventually play online.

[Sana]

I finally got my copy yesterday. Online seems to be filled with Jin's and Ragna's...But then again, I play Jin too. :S

Because of her outstanding combat ability and suitable operation evaluations, she was selected to be Jin Kisaragi's direct subordinate in her youth. The two were acquaintances in officer's academy, though Noel thought Jin was extremely weak. However, on a certain mission handed down from the Control System, her preconceptions were changed. In game, she is able to quickly unleash tricky attacks with her two guns, which can be continually added to.

Fell in love with these characters the moment I played.

One can only say I am now wholesomely addicted.
Looking kinda Kogasa there Rachel.

[KomeijiKoishi]

Noel reminds me of Bridget in Guilty Gear (does that mean he/she is another forced transsexual?), and Rachel makes me think more of Remilia.

[Stuffman]

I'm not sure who I would main if I wound up playing this.

I normally favor middleweight grapplers (Q in SF3, Clark in KoF) but there doesn't seem to be any in this game so I would fall back on someone strong at midrange. Probably Litchi.

Of course, it won't happen unless this game comes to PC.

[Xelotath]

It's a pretty good game, for now I play mostly with Noel but my character of choice is Rachel. I'm using Noel since I suck a lot with Rachel. I can perfect a guy I know 80% of the time with Noel but he kicks my ass when I use Rachel. Anyways, here is my PSN: Xelotath19 . I only have this game and Street Fighter IV for online play. I'll get Marvel vs Capcom 2 when it's out too.

[Cadmas]

I would likely main Taokaka b/c I'm gay for cat girls.
And I'm used to that move set.
