Baal's Synopsis of BlazBlue

NAPALM DEATH!!

Then you get kneed in your face with a fiery burst of energy. Fuck BB they need to make a next gen GG.

I agree on that. Ishiwatari is probably using BlazBlue to get some more time on thinking what to do next with Guilty Gear since Continuum Shift looks like it might actually be the last one.

Let me look that up...

We will do him! wrote:

You could do that in Guilty Gear with Instant Kills, yes they were named that. In BlazBlue you need to meet several requirements for the Astral Heat before you can use it.

that just seems like an annoying game mechanic
must be annoying if someone pulls it off on you when there on there last shred of health

To the game's credit you can always tell when someone is about to pull someone off, you can't connect them in mid-combo, and the only way to make them effective against a sentient opponent is to stun the opponent and that takes a lot of punching.

uh i guess thats not too bad then

Yeah, it can't be used mid-combo and it's easily dodged. (Minus a few characters ex: Judgement)

Before you can use an instant kill move you have to switch over to a different mode that slowly drains your hp.

For blazblue astrals you need to be in the last round, and have your opponent at 20%.

the astrals are just flashy overkill. they instakill the enemy if they land, but you can only use them in the last round, you have to have max heat/magatamas, and the opponent has to be at 20% hp or less.

so yeah. it's basicly useless, but "there's no kill like overkill".

- jin's homoeroticism isnt caused by the sword, he had that to begin with. the sword is what makes him veer between complete insanity and stoic assholishness.

- carl has a sister complex which was brought on by his father turning her into nirvana. HIS insanity is due to his emotions being mostly repressed other than the want to fight--though his sister complex still manages to come through though.


and my favorite character is a tie between two people who arent even playable in either game! valkenhayne and jubei

bumping this as eveyone keeps repeating me >_>

oh right

i have a tendency to only read bullet points

as those are normally the importnat bit >_>

What's the gameplay like? Tekken? Street Fighter?

Guilty Gear

now they need one for the rest of the cast...

ragna - sol
tager - potemkin
hazama - axl
arakune - faust
nu - (that one scary robot chick)
bang - chip

BB's characters look like shit.

SOme of the character designs are alright.

I prefer BB's characters design more, those right there in the pic that Tobi posted only have 4 colors for all of them

The new designs cater to weeaboos and this generation's anime fans. This is exactly why I hate BlazBlue.

Spoiler:

Guilty Gear's are better but a few of the BlazBlue designs are good.

Ragna and Noel are pretty good, along with Tager, Hakumen, and Hazama.

this gam e doesn't interest me i'd rather play GG KoF or SF

I just googled Hakumen. He kinda looks like a male version of Judgement.

So thats why he has a bastard sword

although the grimalkin (kokonoe) wasn't the one who put him in that realm, he did it himself to pass the time (literally).

still lol'd though.

Oh, and to answer Bob's question, there was a Next Gen Guilty Gear.

It's called Overture, look it up.

Overture isn't a fighting game. Overture is shit.

Ky ending up with Dizzy was another stupid turn of events. I hope it's non canon.
