You retards do this every time a new SF comes out too. Why is it so hard to understand that the roster will be way smaller than the last iteration of a previous numbered game if they can't reuse assets? AC+R has the number of characters it does only because over the years they kept adding to the initial roster from GGX.

Lmao don't be a weak ass bitch homosexual and just say it, Daisukek trooned out Testament and Bridget in order to appeal to amerimutts.
it doesn't even appeal to anyone, blazfags wanted a real game, RWBYfags don't play fighting games and also they were already mostly alienated by arcsys trying to make them pay for characters to start followed by the backpedaling on DLC, P4AU now has rollback so personafags will just play that instead, and UNI2 is coming soon. who is the game even for?
>vs game fags that also enjoy anime fighters.
then they'd just play marvel 2 or 3 because those might as well be anime fighters, just pick magneto.
also bbtag sucks ass as an anime fighter, especially with how the game is modeled around P4AU input wise. it's why the game is so niche, again it appeals to basically no one or a very tiny group of people that already have established options anyway.

I like the characters in BBTAG more than the ones in marvel and saying that someone that might be interested in BBTAG could go play Magneto instead is the same as saying characters are just functions.
BBTAG might appeal to a small niche but if you're in that niche then it's one of the best fighting games ever made.
>Did it really have to end like that?
It ended and closed Ragna's story to a conclusion which is still better than being dragged on forever >Will a comeback ever happen?
No and be glad it won't after how they butchered GG. Plus Mori seemed to always wanna make a RPG anyways rather than a FG. Maybe theres some sliver of a chance that he joins some new company and creates a BB spritual successor but that's just hard coping.
I like Strive too, though it's not my favorite GG, but just because they handled GG the way they did doesn't mean they have to do the same with BB. I could do without any BB sequel, but if they were to make one it would be nice if they kept it a fast-paced airdasher with a bunch of unique characters seeing as it doesn't look like that's what GG will be going forward.
>but just because they handled GG the way they did doesn't mean they have to do the same with BB.
NTA but I think that this entire idea comes from the fact that arcsys is generally stepping away from making games like blazblue/older GG in favor of easier, more casual friendly games like granblue and strive. it's hard to really see them step away from that sort of thing for a new blazblue specifically when ALL of their modern releases are like that.
Yeah cause Bridget is like Akuma for the GG people.

A wild assessment but entirely accurate. They've moved their appeal to the modern generation of players who are overwhelmingly Gen Z given their demographics show that 88% of Strive players are under 30 so appealing to modern politics is a strong selling point even if it comes at the cost of the identity of the series.

It's hard to blame them for how they handled GG. Say what you want about the games and their varying quality, games are meant to be played at the end of the day and most GGfags weren't willing to do that. Plenty of Strive fans aren't either, but a lot more fans of Strive actually play than Xrd fans played Xrd when that was the main GG. You can't even really make it out to be a thing where they should have followed their passion with how they designed the game instead of just trying to appeal to people because if Daisuke just followed his interests alone the series would have kept on in the vein of GG2, going back to a fighting game for Xrd was already a move to please the audience. Xrd is still my favorite GG game, but I can't say I'm shocked at them re-working the series for Strive.
It already did. It didn't even last a year and Mori left Arcsys shortly after it died. They even tried giving out characters like Alpha (Juusan) and Tsubaki Hakumen from the ending (White Justice) for free as a desperate attempt to keep it alive but no one wants to play a shitty autobattler with gifs when it should have just been a real game.
This design doesn't look like OG BlazBlue at all, they made a jpg collecting game and couldn't even make the jpgs look good. Compare it with Hakumen, she looks like a Taimanin reject
Tsubaki with the Hakumen armor was teased from the CF ending so the design was probably set prior to the gacha. It actually looks less busy than her Izayoi form.
What the fuck is stopping you from playing CF? >Did it really have to end like that?
Yes, be happy it ended properly instead of just dying. >Will a comeback ever happen?
After Strive but do you really want a modern Blazblue?
Well, there is the Castlevania spin off
Its fun for what it is, but I hope we get another mainline game again, and one that isn't like what happened to GG.
>arcsys will never bring it back also because they don't want it to compete with guilty gear
They won't bring it back until GG has its run so it's not a "never" but a "when"
nightmare edge fucking SUCKS and it doesnt look as cool, also isnt 1hit NE super character specific and doesnt even work on characters like noel and rachel?
i should clarify it doesn't work on noel/rachel in certain routes you'd actually bother using or learning from what I remember, it obviously doesn't apply to stuff in the video because the NE's are super early in the combo and also not practical at all.
Yeah p much lol. It's pretty pointless since you get more damage with just doing regular bnbs and you get a safejump off the normal NE ender anyways.
The only good thing about BBTAG was it gave Ragna both NE and BE and his rekkas from his unlimited form, and making the gauntless hades followup jump cancelable. Too bad that's about the only nice things I can say about that game.
The issue isnt being a TAG, and yes how they implemented the stupid controls and mechanics for the sake of "accessibility".
And, ironically, BBTAG ended up having higher execution requirements than "more complex" games like BB.

You really want this to come back after the shit they did to Strive? CF was close to perfect and has rollback now, go play that. Unless you're one of those people that say you always loved a game series and can't wait to play it for the first time on a dumbed down version.
If they make new BB you can be sure that they will
-redesign and cover up all the underage-looking characters : so platinum and noel are most likely to get censored
-make changes to cater to FGC wokers like what they did to Bridget
-Tone down and remove sexual innuendos, so no more stuff like Glasses of Eros gagreel
-No more sexy fanart in gallery
>Ah, the romance of a tiny girl with a large weapon. ( ´ ω ` ) While working on this, I've conducted a thorough study of which special attacks result in a peek of Platinum's panties... Suffice it to say, my work was delayed. I'm sorry.
They will give it Strive treatment.
Mai is now openly refering to herself as trans. Litchi and Makoto will be all covered up. Rachel and Platinum are gone entirely.
They bothered to give her a new outfit but clearly the developers favored Noel to get a completely new look because she's the one actually relevant to the plot and thus had more scenes to be in to show it off.
No character in strive does that first thing with nagoriyuki straight up calling testament a dude. If the 2nd thing was true baiken, jack-o, Gio and I-no wouldn't look the way they do. And the only reason there's no dicky in GG(barring Delilah) is because daisuke just isn't a e-boicon so that last part's just dumb.

I miss this series like you wouldnt believe.
Did it really have to end like that? Will a comeback ever happen?
After thinking about it, I just miss the gameplay and music. Characters like Arakune and Izanami need to go though. The series stopped being fully enjoyable all around post CS.
>being a chuuni with shit writing and lacking self awareness that leads to consistently failed projects and spreading the lore so far and wide that it alienates most followers of the story
Keep telling yourself it's a good thing, retard.
It was kinda obvious in hindsight, she and Ragna have far and away the most romantic subtext since CT, only real competition was Celica and she had too many death flags to make it to the finish line.
The entire appeal of Blazblue is it being shamless 90s anime chuuni fanwank. Modern ArcSys would remove all of that and cuck it like they did with Guilty Gear.
I miss calamity trigger.
Every sequel bloated it with unideed mechanics and made combos less freeform and instead forced you to very specific moves and timings.
I had a lot of fun trying to make new combos in CT, but after that if it wasnt in challenge mode, it couldn’t be done.
Star wars is for 70 year old retards who can't move on. Not my fault disney wanted to milk you old retards.
I guess Star wars fans and GG fans are one in the same in that sense.

Mori isn't with ArcSys anymore after Daisuke and his buddies used the gacha flop and BBTAG as an excuse to remove him from his director position. Which in turn made Mori quit the company.
But Mori doesn't even have the rights to Blazblue despite being the main writer, artist and game director.
He is starting his own new studio with his own new IP which is probably gonna be not-Blazblue. All while Arcsys will ruin Blazblue by trannifying it like they did with Guilty Gear.
Daisuke hasn't been in charge of things for quite some time. Even if Daisuke hated him it wouldn't make much of a difference. Daisuke is just doing art and music now.
You are a dumbass. Arcsys made Blazblue cause they lost the rights to Guilty Gear. Daisukes GG2 flopped so badly they ended up selling the rights to SEGA in order to stay alive and only after Blazblue made them a shitton of money they got the rights back from SEGA.
Whatever Mori is doing plus French Bread are literally our only hope at this point.
ArcSys is dead. After the financial success of Strive the company will never recover and keep producing trashy fighters for FGC trannies.

I still stand by the belief that if Xrd released in this current era, it would've been just as popular and sold roughly the same. It's all about timing.
Mori was also in charge of FighterZ which is still their biggest success overall.
I doubt they sacked him because of the gacha - Daisuke fucked up harder with Guilty Gear in the past. He definitely got sacked because of some internal drama with the other leaders.
Wasn't that other guy in charge? Motomura or whatever? Even then, DBF was the perfect storm, it was impossible for it to fail. Mori leaving closely behind the gacha's failure is impossible to see as a coincidence.
>After the financial success of Strive the company will never recover and keep producing trashy fighters for FGC trannies.

Arcsys died with release of HispanicballZ braindead garbage. Granpoo thats literally easiest and most braindead fighting game ever made and then Strive cemented their design direction that wont change any time soon. Strive sucks balls but it was HispanicballZ that showed that fat fuck kidoka how much money they can make by shitting out casualized slops for brainlets so they design their games this way lol
Calamity Trigger was unironically a better fighter than Strive. I would rather go back to the GFWL days fighting against hordes of Rachels, Arakunes and Nus than touching boring ass Strive again.
A game where you can reach the highest ranks only to lose 3 matches in a row against some low tier Potemkin. A game that is only popular because the outcome of a fight is pure RNG. Where a random /vg/ fag can beat a top 10 FGC pro on a decent day.
>BBTAG's Akatsuki artwork is unironically the best artwork when compared to UNI 1/2
Akatsuki's UNI2 artwork looks so soulless compared to the UNI1 ready to punch a motherfucker in the dick pose.
Akatsukifags are mostly larping apes who can't even microdash combo and constantly try and act like they're low tier like its UNIEL again so who cares.
Mori was also in charge of FighterZ which is still their biggest success overall.
I doubt they sacked him because of the gacha - Daisuke fucked up harder with Guilty Gear in the past. He definitely got sacked because of some internal drama with the other leaders.
GG2 literally flopped so hard they had to sell the rights to Guilty Gear to SEGA in order to survive. That's the biggest fuckup you can possibly make without outright killing the company.
blazblue was literally solo carrying arcsys until fighterZ came out, and like the other anon said, GG pre strive was not moving units and overture was a colossal failure, the fact that daisuke is still around lends credence to the theory that it wasnt just the gacha flopping that cost mori his position (BBTAG is an asset flip hackjob so i dont think it cost them that much) something else must have happened behind the scenes
Daisuke was the damn good music guy and didn't waste years of time on a dogshit failure of a tag game because he wanted a rwby fighter and funds to follow it up with more years of time on a dev hell, dead on arrival gacha. And no he was just one of the many producers, that was the director motomura
Daisuke was only the music guy in recent years cause GG2 flopping so badly made the guy step back from any relevant position. Not like he ever wanted to be anything else but a rockstar. But after GG2 it was clear that he is never gonna make any meaningful decisions again.
That's not how it works you little shit. The producer gets the director while the director is the one actually making shit and giving orders for how the thing should be like how Mori was the producer AND director for blazblue.
I have a reasonable claim to being the single worst Blazblue player of all time. Back in CT, there was this leaderboard and you could sort it by wins. If you did this, then it would show the player with the most wins. If you got to a point where players were tied for wins, then it would sort by losses. So e.g. if you had two players with 47 wins, the person with fewer losses would be ranked higher than the one with more losses.
Every single time I won a game, I would go and check my place on the leaderboard. And every single time I did this, I would be the lowest ranked player for my number of wins. So e.g., when I had 5 wins, there'd be a bunch of people above me with 5 wins, but the person immediately below me was somebody with 4 wins and 0 losses.
picrel is a quick MSPaint mockup of what the leaderboard looked like whenever I got a win.
I don't think Mori left ASW with bad blood.
Studio Flare just seems like it was an opportunity he got with Chinese investment similar to Nagoshi with Yakuza.
He took the executive that wanted Senran to be made in the first place and released in the west with him. After Takaki fucked off to make a shitty live service games for cygames.

What the fuck am I reading. Akat is plain vanilla too, and he isn't even from the same franchise.
In terms of shoto design I think he's amazing and fun to play. He has a short dash for better spacing and feints, and he can do a fireball out of it. In other games trying to dash and do a fireball can sometimes make a DP come out, so they make his DP a down down input in irder to keep the same idea present while making it flawless to execute either inputs. His tatsu provides his overhead and is still a travel option, has alternative endings depending on what button you hold, he can continue OTGs if you master the dash mechanic and all of his moves are useful in some fashion. He is genuinely my favorite shoto character ever.
I thought we were talking about visual design, not gameplay functions though.

aka might look plain but the poses he makes when he does anything helps inmensely
Considering that he lost his position as a director at ArcSys and got put into a boring meaningless marketing position - which is japanese for getting fired - i doubt him wanting to do his own thing was his big motivation. He just wants to be able to make games.
Say what you want about Tag and the gacha, but at least those were spinoffs after the series itself ended on a high note. Bringing it back now, especially without Mori, would bring nothing but disaster.
I hope he starts his own series now without ASW, that would probably be a spiritual sequel the same way BB was first intended to be
Looking at his characters. It wouldn't surprise me if he sets it up as the defacto sequel to BB. Like what if Blazblues ending resulted into a different universe.
It will be very similar with some slight changes to make sure ArcSys can't sue his ass.
Hopefully he can get those games out before ArcSys do their own take on Blazblue and ruin it before he even has a chance to revive it.
im gonna be honest I forgot about jubei's thing of always being hit crouching until that very last match, why did they even give him that anyway? he's not good enough to warrant that. anyway ggs
It was probably done to give him lower effective health without reducing his overall health total, because I think they wanted him to be a pixie character?
what a weird design choice, why not just...give him lower effective health? I mean again I don't even think he's really strong enough to warrant that sort of thing anyway, strange character.

>Nu player since CT, legitimately started playing her just because she was fun, also got invested in her character >her kit got drastically changed between games, with her core identity (Act Parser) being gone entirely sometimes and her literally being an entire other character at one point >was a fucking STANCE CHANGE CHARACTER for one game even >gradually got worse and worse each game and went from being one of the most OP characters of all time to middle of the road >story went nowhere with her for the entire second part of the franchise and the ending of the last game gives her the shittiest ending imaginable
At least the fucking mobile game just barely gave her a slightly less shit ending after that.
i'm waiting for CF to go on sale to buy it cuz the game looks neat and i want to learn to play but i just know you homosexuals will stop hosting lobbies once i do it just like the time i bought Divine Cybermancy
>but i just know you homosexuals will stop hosting lobbies once i do it
ive been trying to make blazblue threads a more semi-regular occurance with varying success so there'll probably be tons of lobbies to come
The best way to get lobbies is to just make a lobby yourself. These threads tend to live the longest on weekends but sometimes there are late night threads on weekdays.
i always end up losing my save and really hate to go through everything again. Theres problably a lot of side quest stuff im missing, or are the levels really that barren?
The levels are huge and somewhat barren, but they have NPCs here and there, small side missions and other stuff. You're meant to play it 3 times total to get the true ending, and it's likely you'll miss one route if you don't explore
I will play whatever Mori is cooking up but ArcSys will never see another penny from me for one of their own titles. Strive was the final nail and Sols story is truly over. Whatever they got in mind for Blazblue can only be awful as well.
Mori needs to get his game out ASAP and shill it as the Blazblue successor before ArcSys can give Blazblue the Strive treatment.
That way he can unite all the BBfags under his banner and people won't even bother giving ArcSys another try with the series.
There is no way he can compete with Strive on a visual and technical level with his new baby company. So going ultra casual like Strive just wouldn't work. What he can do however is the weebest, the chuuniest the horniest game imaginable and get an audience that way. Trying to appeal to normalfags is simply impossible from his position even if he wanted that.
Basically that yeah. You have to find your own niche if you want to survive. Trying to compete with big mainstream fighters is just suicidal. He knows the BB community loves him and his work so all he has to do is commit to that.
If he ever makes it big again there is of course the potential of him selling out and chasing the big esports bucks but that's not something to worry about for atleast a decade. Especially considering that his first game is an action game and not a fighter.
>There is no way he can compete with Strive on a visual and technical level with his new baby company.
Who cares about graphics in a fighting game, look at melty blood.
How much can he rush it though? BB is full of storyfags so he can't just cut the story mode. Maybe release it in "open beta" and then add the story mode with the full release?
I am really curious as to why you retards think Mori's next game won't be dumbed down like Strive
i was gonna say es but at least she has a very nice body everything else aside, tsubaki has basically nothing and dresses horribly in comparison to noel and makoto
I hate Celica and Mai more.
Tsubaki is a dumb bitch because the plot demands her to be. She's still not good but not complete garbage.
Mori needs to get his game out ASAP and shill it as the Blazblue successor before ArcSys can give Blazblue the Strive treatment.
That way he can unite all the BBfags under his banner and people won't even bother giving ArcSys another try with the series.
Mori is confirmed to be making an action game first under his new company and a new fighting game as his 2nd project. So you got like 4-5 years minimum.
She got hypnotized into thinking Noel stole her position as Jin's aide and got all murdery.
Then she keeps using the dumb eye book that turns her insane the more she uses it. Basically she was a dumb cunt.
>story ended cleanly, more than what most fighters could ever hope for >CF has rollback now if you still want the BB itch scratched >phoneshit failed and likely not to be tainted by that again as a result >Mori has a spiritual successor in the pipeline so even if Daisuke tries to make it into a troon tomb like GG it won't matter
Don't grieve over it ending, be glad it happened.
>the most horny arcsys guy teams up with the most horny Senran guy to make a new studio and people think they will just create something super washed out and SFW
really just her supers or crawl (low profiling only) but xdest has some tech for dealing with some opponents on wakeup
haven't seen him in a while tho and he was doing vr shit last i saw
Crawl by itself should be able to low profile a lot of DPs, excluding things like Naoto or Ragna's DP. Could also probably end your combo prematurely for a safejump set up but not sure what Tao has for that.
Can't believe there are people thinking ArcSys can deliver when the very first thing they do after Mori leaves is letting a bunch of chinks use the IP for a low effort roguelite asset flip
Kiiiiiiiiiind of.
You have SOME aerial mobility and fishing for air counterhits gives you ample time to just land and then convert off of the untech time. Offense-wise I think MBTL is utterly boring as fuck because semi-optimal combos are incredibly easy to do and everyone can do them so it feels bland as hell, plus the hard damage proration cap basically have most characters doing the same amount of damage. The game just gives you meter like candy so ending every combo with meter for guaranteed hard knockdown is incredibly commonplace. Defense wise I think playing MBTL for a couple months gave me worse habits in other fighting games because frame 1 shield and backdash options are so strong, please Heat heals recoverable health and is incredibly easy to just use on guard cancel so imagine if you could ODR every time you have one bar of meter.
I'd honestly rather play more CF.
I would normally suggest TFH, it shares a lot of DNA with Blazblue, but unfortunately it's in kind of a rough state and the devs are seeming less and less competent as time goes on. Apparently there's a big balance patch coming out "soon," if it looks like maybe they're turning things around after that it could be a great choice, it really is a very good game at its core, but probably better to wait and see because if things continue the way they have been for the last year or two it's going to die a sad, pathetic and totally avoidable death.
I don't see why people say Noel is easy to play. She either has to be close enough for 6A to hit or confirm a crouching hit to get a combo for more than 1.5k damage and her drive starters rely on making reads. She has no oki midscreen and the best she gets in the corner is 5C buffered into 236C to catch rolls. Her 6A is also garbage.
Interesting that they also wanted to give her dual lightsabers at one point since Jin also had those in concept art. No characters ended up having those in the end which is kinda lame.
i dunno about you guys but i really don't like CF's artstyle for some characters, loved me some CSE art though, characters like ragna and bang looked great there.
I felt like CP worked especially well for some (Kokonoe, Hazama, Bullet, Terumi) and felt like a downgrade for others (Tager, Rachel, Hakumen, and ESPECIALLY Makoto) but the artstyle was still great.
Es was at least cute as hell in her own VN story stuff, if unnecessary in BB itself.
>Es was at least cute as hell in her own VN story stuff,
yeah too bad nobody played xblaze
I think I can say that for virtually all the auxiliary material of Blazblue in general, besides the in-game bonus episodes like Makoto fucking up Terumi's plans in one timeline and Ragna's elaborated history of the Black Beast stuff that went from novel to straight up being embedded in the story mode stuff itself. Virtually every other parcel of story is either "who gives a shit" or "this is fucking terrible" no matter how many cute girls it throws out.
Yes I'll even go as far to say Mai's own manga was shit too.
>Yes I'll even go as far to say Mai's own manga was shit too.
you say that like it's a controversial opinion when most people generally agree mai isn't a very good character in the first place

Mai is a shilled character that's only good for her looks and how easy to use
Mai's manga is purely a genderbend fetishist's manga so of course the mangaonly readers who only stuck to reading storymode would love her. No matter what the tripfag said, it's a mediocre shounen ecchi series with genderbend.

Good is point of view and your view is objectively shit.
I think the game's story ended near perfectly (I know it's giga autismo to care about FG lore but BB really is awesome). CF has rollback and you can get games easily anytime. If anything I think a new BB game would have a higher chance of fucking up and ruining what i is a well done and simply finished series.
yeah I know i was there but still, I do wish more people actually played or tried to make lobbies because there's only ever like 8-9 regulars that actually play the fucking game and the rest of the IP's here are just talking about strive or some other fucking fighting game or are just storyfags
i feel you here
i don't mind waifufagging and all that shit but if someone's sitting here wondering why there isn't a new game in the series while never playing it and especially if you're some dubfag who skipped cf because of the lack of dubs, then i do feel like there's a need to be uppity at something like that
It doesn't need a comeback, CF has rollback, you can just play that.
Ding ding ding, you can just go play CF online if you really miss it
Why would you want a comeback after seeing what they did to Guilty Gear? Be thankful CF already has rollback
What happened to Guilty Gear?
Gameplay got changed into something completely different, roster was considerably smaller, and other stuff I won't bring up because people will use it as ammo to dismiss my argument instead of referring to the previous points.
>other stuff I won't bring up because people will use it as ammo to dismiss my argument instead of referring to the previous points
I remember a time on Ganker (and in general really) when discussion about Arcsys games wasn't filled with complete schizos. Too bad those times are gone forever.
>havent played strive since late season 1
>reinstall to see what s3 is like
>read patch notes
>burst hits fullscreen now
what kind of crack is that retarded homosexual katano smoking?
because you can spend your burst to do other things so obviously the burst needs to be really good as well.
that dosent make sense considering burst in strive is literally the strongest the mechanic has ever been
>hard knockdown
>cant be thrown or blitzed
>more burst points than ever considering most characters have no real ways to reliably bait it without JCing one of the 2 cancellable normals or hard commiting by spending bar
Yeah it has to be strong, or people will just use it for the wild assault.
i forgot about character specific anti burst tech like leos shield and baikens parry, can potemkin even hammerfall through it anymore? i dont remember.
>made a character with fullscreen normals
>just make burst fullscreen so they don't have to nerf him
U RIKE?
burst has to be full screen so that retarded characters don't get burst baits for free, I also don't find the new mechanics interesting whatsoever
It made sense in the context of Season 2, where a lot of the stronger characters in the game had braindead Burst-safe routes.
>roster was considerably smaller
I really don't like that most people forget xrd sign existed and mori's israelite ways.
>it's been well over a decade since I've been following fighting games
>people still bitch about roster sizes for new games
You retards do this every time a new SF comes out too. Why is it so hard to understand that the roster will be way smaller than the last iteration of a previous numbered game if they can't reuse assets? AC+R has the number of characters it does only because over the years they kept adding to the initial roster from GGX.
I was saying whining about roster size as if he forgot sign existed was dumb in that 1st post.
it's even worse when a game DOES recycle assets and still has less characters than the game it recycles from
>It's a staple so it's okay
This is exactly why the FGC will forever be a joke.
>other stuff I won't bring up because people will use it as ammo to dismiss my argument
Lmao don't be a weak ass bitch homosexual and just say it, Daisukek trooned out Testament and Bridget in order to appeal to amerimutts.
>roster was considerably smaller,
what? strive has more characters than any other GG game right now
only after 4 season passes
I've experienced BBTAG, whatever they come up with, it CANT be as bad as that.
the bbtag is good tho
it doesn't even appeal to anyone, blazfags wanted a real game, RWBYfags don't play fighting games and also they were already mostly alienated by arcsys trying to make them pay for characters to start followed by the backpedaling on DLC, P4AU now has rollback so personafags will just play that instead, and UNI2 is coming soon. who is the game even for?
vs game fags that also enjoy anime fighters.
>vs game fags that also enjoy anime fighters.
then they'd just play marvel 2 or 3 because those might as well be anime fighters, just pick magneto.
also bbtag sucks ass as an anime fighter, especially with how the game is modeled around P4AU input wise. it's why the game is so niche, again it appeals to basically no one or a very tiny group of people that already have established options anyway.
I like the characters in BBTAG more than the ones in marvel and saying that someone that might be interested in BBTAG could go play Magneto instead is the same as saying characters are just functions.
BBTAG might appeal to a small niche but if you're in that niche then it's one of the best fighting games ever made.
Then why does nobody fucking play it online?
He doesn't care, he wants BB to be contaminated.
Storyonlyfags just want better graphics, they couldn't care less about how the gameplay will be simplified and neutered.
literally this i uninstalled strive after a week theres nothing there its a button masher
But Platinum NEEDS to come out as trans.
>Did it really have to end like that?
It ended and closed Ragna's story to a conclusion which is still better than being dragged on forever
>Will a comeback ever happen?
No and be glad it won't after how they butchered GG. Plus Mori seemed to always wanna make a RPG anyways rather than a FG. Maybe theres some sliver of a chance that he joins some new company and creates a BB spritual successor but that's just hard coping.
I think Mori wants to make an rpg now but will make a fighting game somewhere in the future
Why not make a fighting game RPG like the old Tales games?
stop pretending to like this game
>dying with burst
>dying with meter to counter assault
>azrael player complaining about anything
Retard confirmed
>didn't burst after getting hit by 6B
It's like the Azrael was asking to die.
Kino
deserved for being an azraelhomosexual
probably too preoccupied with fantasies of getting assfucked by him to play competently
If you don't have those fantasies then there's no point in playing him.
i'm surprised coconut didn't AA at all
>2d fightans
I owned all Blazblue games
but I never played online once
I just play it for the story
Same but I did play online and got bullied
Its been years and I'm still too embarrassed and rusty to try again.
do you fancy getting the online trophies for chronophantasma? if so, post your ID
there's literally no one online, unlike CF
I too purchase the chronophantasm limited edition for the rachel petite nendo.
was hoping that astral would come out
I hate Azrael, too
why? so you can bitch and moan when they make a new one?
Why would you want it to come with the current state of ArcSys?
I personally would like to see them Strive it since I think Strive is great, but I know I'm in the minority with that opinion.
I like Strive too, though it's not my favorite GG, but just because they handled GG the way they did doesn't mean they have to do the same with BB. I could do without any BB sequel, but if they were to make one it would be nice if they kept it a fast-paced airdasher with a bunch of unique characters seeing as it doesn't look like that's what GG will be going forward.
>but just because they handled GG the way they did doesn't mean they have to do the same with BB.
NTA but I think that this entire idea comes from the fact that arcsys is generally stepping away from making games like blazblue/older GG in favor of easier, more casual friendly games like granblue and strive. it's hard to really see them step away from that sort of thing for a new blazblue specifically when ALL of their modern releases are like that.
>but I know I'm in the minority with that opinion.
Bro didn't Strive sell extremely well for a GG game?
it sold well but only in the west, Strive was flopping hard in nipland until they pushed the emergency bridget DLC button
It sold well in Japan as well.
bro there was a dev backyard that literally admitted strive was failing in nipland until bridget came around
Yeah cause Bridget is like Akuma for the GG people.
What in the fuck are you talking about?
Poor bastards. Never thought they'd stoop so low.
Bridget is one of the most popular Guilty Gear characters. Of course when they put him out as DLC everyone was going to buy him.
Same reason SF6 put Akuma as dlc.
>Never thought they'd stoop so low.
All things inevitably go to shit if they continue long enough. Anyone with sense will always wish for the things they enjoy to die a good death at their peak.
Thankfully Guilty Gear hit it's peak with Strive.
They specifically did this because no one was actually buying the games even with Mori getting more power to come in and blazbluify xrd. just looking at fanart, watching videos and buying merch like repulsive bridget secondaries of the past and present wasn't enough. Can't blame them.
It's hard to blame them for how they handled GG. Say what you want about the games and their varying quality, games are meant to be played at the end of the day and most GGfags weren't willing to do that. Plenty of Strive fans aren't either, but a lot more fans of Strive actually play than Xrd fans played Xrd when that was the main GG. You can't even really make it out to be a thing where they should have followed their passion with how they designed the game instead of just trying to appeal to people because if Daisuke just followed his interests alone the series would have kept on in the vein of GG2, going back to a fighting game for Xrd was already a move to please the audience. Xrd is still my favorite GG game, but I can't say I'm shocked at them re-working the series for Strive.
What we had was good. I love Platinum so much bros. She's literally part of me.
My brother
monkey's paw, it will come back in the form of gacha
Why hasn't anyone made a real fighter gacha yet?
It already did. It didn't even last a year and Mori left Arcsys shortly after it died. They even tried giving out characters like Alpha (Juusan) and Tsubaki Hakumen from the ending (White Justice) for free as a desperate attempt to keep it alive but no one wants to play a shitty autobattler with gifs when it should have just been a real game.
This design doesn't look like OG BlazBlue at all, they made a jpg collecting game and couldn't even make the jpgs look good. Compare it with Hakumen, she looks like a Taimanin reject
It looks about as in line with Blazblue as Mai, unless by OG Blazblue you just mean CT.
That's fair, I always equate BB designs with the CT-CS era mostly. I still think the gacha designs look like a step beyond the mainline games though.
Tsubaki with the Hakumen armor was teased from the CF ending so the design was probably set prior to the gacha. It actually looks less busy than her Izayoi form.
why is her crotch a gengar
Haunted pussy
Cringe narration.
Those are subtitles, the original japanese video doesn't have them obviously
?si=izKtj0wk9BotuKQt&t=458
I never knew they had Tsubakimen in the gacha, neat.
I planned on downloading it but then I saw Izayoi's art. Absolutely not.
it did
Best it ends as it was. I don't want to see Arcsys fuck it up to please woke like they did with Strive.
Does someone have download link for all the fanart gallery presented in these games? They're gorgeous but it's such a pain trying to unlock them.
What the fuck is stopping you from playing CF?
>Did it really have to end like that?
Yes, be happy it ended properly instead of just dying.
>Will a comeback ever happen?
After Strive but do you really want a modern Blazblue?
alright where the FUCK is the lobby
Hazama/Terumi truly were the best
Well, there is the Castlevania spin off
Its fun for what it is, but I hope we get another mainline game again, and one that isn't like what happened to GG.
best we can hope for is a spiritual sequel by mori, arcsys will never bring it back also because they don't want it to compete with guilty gear
>spiritual sequel by mori
Given his new company, it'll star not-Raquel
>arcsys will never bring it back also because they don't want it to compete with guilty gear
They won't bring it back until GG has its run so it's not a "never" but a "when"
play Entropy Effect
it's all we'll ever get again
I've been playing it a bit. It's cool and all, but it literally feels like a random game with Blazblue cameos.
I miss it too but modern ASW is pure cancer not only did they dumbed down GG gameplay they also went full on westoid woke pandering trash.
Mori is also gone so just let it go.
i miss belial edge bros
Just learn the 1hit NE routes bro
nightmare edge fucking SUCKS and it doesnt look as cool, also isnt 1hit NE super character specific and doesnt even work on characters like noel and rachel?
i should clarify it doesn't work on noel/rachel in certain routes you'd actually bother using or learning from what I remember, it obviously doesn't apply to stuff in the video because the NE's are super early in the combo and also not practical at all.
Yeah p much lol. It's pretty pointless since you get more damage with just doing regular bnbs and you get a safejump off the normal NE ender anyways.
The only good thing about BBTAG was it gave Ragna both NE and BE and his rekkas from his unlimited form, and making the gauntless hades followup jump cancelable. Too bad that's about the only nice things I can say about that game.
>also isnt 1hit NE super character specific
That's why it's so cool, filters the real Ragna players from shitters like you
Corny.
BBCF niggas can just play CF
But TAG niggas won't play TAG
It's a tag fighter, only the biggest of retards actually enjoy tag fighters.
The issue isnt being a TAG, and yes how they implemented the stupid controls and mechanics for the sake of "accessibility".
And, ironically, BBTAG ended up having higher execution requirements than "more complex" games like BB.
>BB Radio will probably never ever get translated extensively
at least neo had subs for most of it...haha...
Anyone up for a lobby?
a bbtag lobby?
lol
lmao
I don't think I've ever seen you host a lobby, rwbyfag. So where is it? Why don't YOU ever host for a game you think is good?
I have social anxiety
>rwbyfag
>social anxiety
Checks out, but you're not helping your case. The least you could do for a fighting game you like would be to at least host a fucking lobby.
Yeah, you're a Rubybro alright
Bet your sister is a fauner lover too
I meant CF, didn't know there were still people who wanted to play bbtag after adachi and yumi ruined the game.
Yumi ain't shit
If you post it, they will come.
How do you feel about Mori's brand new original characters?
not-ragna looks swaggy as fuck I don't care what ANYONE says
>rachel and noel made one character
>but with breasts
ruined
Bland and boring like everything after 2020. Bring back racy stuff like Noel's side boobs policewoman design and we'll talk.
How's that not just Ragna and Rachel
it's closer to raquel than rachel
>literally just aping the characters you used to work with but do not own
Based?
If I lost property rights to my waifu, my next company would have my legally distinct totally original waifu donut steel, too.
>closer
it straight up is raquel lol
rachel's out to win the ragnabowl in every dimension
This is the THIRD TIME he's made Ragna and Rachel again
You really want this to come back after the shit they did to Strive? CF was close to perfect and has rollback now, go play that. Unless you're one of those people that say you always loved a game series and can't wait to play it for the first time on a dumbed down version.

If they make new BB you can be sure that they will
-redesign and cover up all the underage-looking characters : so platinum and noel are most likely to get censored
-make changes to cater to FGC wokers like what they did to Bridget
-Tone down and remove sexual innuendos, so no more stuff like Glasses of Eros gagreel
-No more sexy fanart in gallery
Noel ain't coming back to fight
Why not? Mori is gone, no need to respect the story
>t. arcsys, probably
now I'm wondering how each character could be dumbed down mechanics wise.
Stylish mode is not only default, its mandatory with no way to turn it off
Just look at BBTAG, it would be that except 1v1
Carl would either be gone or become Relius 2.0.
>Ah, the romance of a tiny girl with a large weapon. ( ´ ω ` ) While working on this, I've conducted a thorough study of which special attacks result in a peek of Platinum's panties... Suffice it to say, my work was delayed. I'm sorry.
Blazblue was too based for our current world
Reminder that Arcsys still has plans for Blazblue in the future.
They will rape Moris baby and there is nothing we can do about it.
Mori already raped it to death
They will give it Strive treatment.
Mai is now openly refering to herself as trans. Litchi and Makoto will be all covered up. Rachel and Platinum are gone entirely.
Sounds fine to me, I like the strive art style.
Mai openly had no other plotline other than being turned into a girl so like it would fucking matter for non-fetishists.
Hello there strivefags.
I stopped playing Strive after Beta 2.
I knew it wasn't worth my money.
I just want Maifags to get less.
You should try it now, the game is way better now. The burst mechanic is way cooler.
I got UNI2 to look forward to, I have no interest in Strive.
I'm not going to touch anything that empower trannification of children.
Well you should stop playing video games, watching anime and porn.
Wdym? Not all video games trannify children, though it seems you're hoping it'd be so.
Most of them will in the future, you already lost. Pathetic homosexual.
Makoto looks better when she's covered up I think.
They bothered to give her a new outfit but clearly the developers favored Noel to get a completely new look because she's the one actually relevant to the plot and thus had more scenes to be in to show it off.
btw im trans and love bridget dunno if that matter lol
No character in strive does that first thing with nagoriyuki straight up calling testament a dude. If the 2nd thing was true baiken, jack-o, Gio and I-no wouldn't look the way they do. And the only reason there's no dicky in GG(barring Delilah) is because daisuke just isn't a e-boicon so that last part's just dumb.
>daisuke just isn't a e-boicon so that last part's just dumb.
>When May and Bridget exist in their original form before trannies came along
Nice try deflecting troon.
I specifically posted that AC picture as an old example of may with tits not looking like a little girl and both looking like tiny girls in game has been kept the same with strive.
It's not the same at all. Strive covers up almost her skin and makes her look older, all to please the retards at FGC who always cry about e-boicons.
But may shows more in strive than in any other game to the point that there is an animation showing off her ass when she loses and gets hkd'd. Hell only xrd was the only one where they made her full e-boi.
Also someone post the image of different kinds of Azrael he's cool.
Shows more but you wouldn't do a side-by-side comparison. Just goes to show how disingenuous you really are.
i-no was censored tho
Mori has given it the last hurrah. Whatever Arcsys is going to do will make him look tame in comparison, if Strive is any indication.
Yeah a shitty gacha game and a shitty tag fighter. What a great legacy he left behind.
At least he didn't censor anything, the man was based and trannies hate him for it.
Yes he did
How did Mori ruin it?
He made a shitty gacha game that nobody played and thats a big crime i guess. Atleast its worse than being Strive - a game that sucked all the rock and style out of its series and replaced it wish washed up twitter pandering.
the problem is that strive worked so it's only going to be worse from now on
Yeah the problem is they made a GG game that people actually liked and that's fun to play.
You do know UNI 2 isn't out for months right?
I got a beta to look forward to in two weeks and I have no interest in learning Strive only to drop it in 2 months.
It doesn't take that long to learn and uni beta is on console unfortunately.
I have a console to play it on.
UNI has a beta in two weeks? This is the first time I'm hearing of it. I might not have an ethernet connection then, I'll be pissed if I miss it.
Was announced at Paris Games Week like 2 days ago. November 17th to 19th, consoles only because they're probably scared the PC players will just datamine the 3 DLC characters.
damn his sprite looks so bad compared to the og cast.
His portrait is ugly too and the design is boring. I remember hoping he wouldn't get in even when I saw him in the story mode in UNI.
They should have just got Riesbyfe instead so she can survive somewhere along with Sion.
Nah, fuck guest characters.
they always pick the worst males to be the playable ones.
I thought Wagners sprite looked like shit too

You mean they made a GG that pander to twittards and employ viral marketing by paying off every journalists.
Ganker did most of the marketing by making gg thread daily.
>Implying normies actually care about anything Ganker says
Nice copium
He's responsible for BBTAG and the gacha, which is why BB is currently dormant. I don't hate the man, but they were poor decisions.
He gambled the series' future on a gacha that was stuck in development hell for 4 years and then had it die at 11 months.
TAG was so unappealing people just went back to CF, not even rollback saved it. Plus it was just a soulless cashcow to milk more funds for his gacha.
Mori already ruined it though.
Mori already cucked his own series by being a chuuni writer way too in over his head. A lot of jap writers want their shits to turn into multimedia franchises for some reason.
>literally dante inspired by ragna
>copyright plagiarism rachel?
Can a company sue for a previous employee making the same character? How does that work?
>the tag player is autistic
Checks out.
>makoto covered up
She literally looks better wearing that cape uniform thing.
After thinking about it, I just miss the gameplay and music. Characters like Arakune and Izanami need to go though. The series stopped being fully enjoyable all around post CS.
Hello FGC tranny.
>being a chuuni who does what he wants instead of following a corporate pandering agenda is cucking himself

You sound mad. Did mommy and daddy hit you on the way to posting on big bad 4chin board?
>Rachel won the Ragna bowl
>the cute 1000 years old blonde gothic e-boi vampire
Admit it none of you saw this coming
It was kinda obvious in hindsight, she and Ragna have far and away the most romantic subtext since CT, only real competition was Celica and she had too many death flags to make it to the finish line.
How do you win a bowl that ceased to exist?
She "won" the bowl like 15 seconds before he ceased to be.
Still counts.
I will get a soive style reboot eventually.

The entire appeal of Blazblue is it being shamless 90s anime chuuni fanwank. Modern ArcSys would remove all of that and cuck it like they did with Guilty Gear.
for me? it's my gf, celica a. mercury
I miss calamity trigger.
Every sequel bloated it with unideed mechanics and made combos less freeform and instead forced you to very specific moves and timings.
I had a lot of fun trying to make new combos in CT, but after that if it wasnt in challenge mode, it couldn’t be done.
the franchise already got a shitty rougelike that's too grindy even for chinks
Blazblue characters are awesome we can't let them be forgotten bros.
wat do?
PLAY THE FUCKING GAMES, YOU STORYONLYhomosexual
How do we convince Mori to continue the Blazblue fighting games?
he has to get the rights for blazblue first
Why? He just got lucky. Let someone new at arcsys take the reigns, not some old fuck.
>Let someone new at arcsys take the reigns
yes, let western naggers ruin Blazblue
Better than making a gacha game, but you can keep enjoying those "games" I guess.
Like Kathleen Kennedy taking over Star Wars, right? Yeah I bet you love that.
Star wars is for 70 year old retards who can't move on. Not my fault disney wanted to milk you old retards.
I guess Star wars fans and GG fans are one in the same in that sense.
See, nobody say anything and you're already going on a tirade like this. Way to out yourself resetranny.
What does that even mean?
L2english you dumb ESL half-breeds.
But you're the one who can't argue against me. You're just sad because you're lonely and spend too much time online.
Things will get better if you stop living in a bubble.
Says the terminally online amoeba. Go touch grass lmao.
I just feel bad for you is all. These are not things worth being angry over. You just need to grow up and get a girlfriend. GG won't even be a thought in your mind after that.
Amoeba doesn't have feelings but I guess a dumb LARPer like you wouldn't know after skipping so many classes to attend trannycon rofl
And you said I was an esl.
Mori is a based coomer otaku he is literally /ourguy/
Mori isn't with ArcSys anymore after Daisuke and his buddies used the gacha flop and BBTAG as an excuse to remove him from his director position. Which in turn made Mori quit the company.
But Mori doesn't even have the rights to Blazblue despite being the main writer, artist and game director.
He is starting his own new studio with his own new IP which is probably gonna be not-Blazblue. All while Arcsys will ruin Blazblue by trannifying it like they did with Guilty Gear.
In this case, dunno if you can blame Daisuke. He and Daisuke still seem to be on good terms.
https://x.com/zatuyoP/status/1694324079485186366?s=20
Daisuke hasn't been in charge of things for quite some time. Even if Daisuke hated him it wouldn't make much of a difference. Daisuke is just doing art and music now.
Mori already said he's making an action game first and the second game is going to be a fighting game.
If he's not making it sexy then I'm not going to bother. We need more Noel and Mai.
like
said
Mori is a 90s otaku coomer first and foremost. Of course he will make it horny. Even the shitty gacha was horny.
Japan is getting pozzed by the day proves this might not come to pass.
>Japan is getting pozzed by the day
it might be but the actual population in it don't and will never aprove it
Doesn't matter what population wants. It's control from the ivory tower that matters first and foremost.
Strive is dogshit. Fuck off trannies. You don't even play Blazblue.
I always hated Blazblue because it was vastly inferior to Guilty Gear and made the devs stop working on Guilty gear
You are a dumbass. Arcsys made Blazblue cause they lost the rights to Guilty Gear. Daisukes GG2 flopped so badly they ended up selling the rights to SEGA in order to stay alive and only after Blazblue made them a shitton of money they got the rights back from SEGA.
and now Strive is even worst than fucking calamity trigger
LMAO
Id really just want a +R type patch for CF.
>the room has been disbanded
>try to rejoin and its still there
never seen this happen wtf
meanwhile melty blood nowadays has a half-naked e-boi that's top tier
And nobody plays that either!
>And nobody plays that
>Consistently is on EVO
Don't know if you've seen it yet but there's not many other recent games to take its place.
Post the player count right now
Whatever Mori is doing plus French Bread are literally our only hope at this point.
ArcSys is dead. After the financial success of Strive the company will never recover and keep producing trashy fighters for FGC trannies.
>French Bread
they killed vatista and mika dicky
People don't even mention how Vatista was censored.
vatista is 40% of the time butt-naked, she looks older in the new artwork, mika literally grew up
>grew up
Nigga, the timeframe between UNI1 and 2 is literally a month. What the fuck are you playing at trying to LIE over here?
>What the fuck are you playing at trying to LIE over here?
nagger compare her uni1 art with her uni2 art
Well yeah uni 1 art was 10 years ago and uni 2 art is 10 years after.
Nigga most of the cast look real weird given the new artstyle, this isn't some fucking ass-backwards censorship psyop, it's just Yoshihara's newer artstyle. If they had less new characters to shill for in promotional art, you can bet your ass we'd get more of this type of shit.
Linne is a milf now?
Linne is still 10 years old + a month
Why does she look like that
I genuinely wonder how much of it they think is because the game's fun and not because of presenting a festering ground for trannies to sink in.
Jesus christ this nigga is genuinely one of the worst designed characters I've ever seen, what in the FUCK are they doing? In a game with someone brilliant like Akatsuki? Really nigga?
I still stand by the belief that if Xrd released in this current era, it would've been just as popular and sold roughly the same. It's all about timing.
Wasn't that other guy in charge? Motomura or whatever? Even then, DBF was the perfect storm, it was impossible for it to fail. Mori leaving closely behind the gacha's failure is impossible to see as a coincidence.
she was 100% naked till 'they' had to censor her.
They're still in the game
>After the financial success of Strive the company will never recover and keep producing trashy fighters for FGC trannies.
A wild assessment but entirely accurate. They've moved their appeal to the modern generation of players who are overwhelmingly Gen Z given their demographics show that 88% of Strive players are under 30 so appealing to modern politics is a strong selling point even if it comes at the cost of the identity of the series.
Arcsys died with release of HispanicballZ braindead garbage. Granpoo thats literally easiest and most braindead fighting game ever made and then Strive cemented their design direction that wont change any time soon. Strive sucks balls but it was HispanicballZ that showed that fat fuck kidoka how much money they can make by shitting out casualized slops for brainlets so they design their games this way lol
Calamity Trigger was unironically a better fighter than Strive. I would rather go back to the GFWL days fighting against hordes of Rachels, Arakunes and Nus than touching boring ass Strive again.
A game where you can reach the highest ranks only to lose 3 matches in a row against some low tier Potemkin. A game that is only popular because the outcome of a fight is pure RNG. Where a random /vg/ fag can beat a top 10 FGC pro on a decent day.
>fighting Nus as Tager in CT
The pain...its coming back...
that kind of shit was fun for me tho
i loved when they'd try to gimmick command dash in after swords and i'd have a 720 prepared for their arrival
>Fighting CT Arakunes in general
too hard
GGs lobby
>BBTAG's Akatsuki artwork is unironically the best artwork when compared to UNI 1/2
Akatsuki's UNI2 artwork looks so soulless compared to the UNI1 ready to punch a motherfucker in the dick pose.
Akatsukifags are mostly larping apes who can't even microdash combo and constantly try and act like they're low tier like its UNIEL again so who cares.
the same could be said about GG fans as well.
Who do the fake Baikenfags usually gravitate to play if they can't learn her?
wrong, i actually play the actual game he comes from
A shame, I need more footage of akats getting clowned on.
Reminder that Mori was the game director and in charge of balance for the best GG game. Accent Core Plus R
I would not praise +R for it's balance.
audio balance is absolutely fucked, I can only play this game on 20% max
That's funny though.
Mori was also in charge of FighterZ which is still their biggest success overall.
I doubt they sacked him because of the gacha - Daisuke fucked up harder with Guilty Gear in the past. He definitely got sacked because of some internal drama with the other leaders.
it's not a coincidence he left as soon as the retarded strive drama happened
I doubt there was much Strive drama internally, the game was a big success for them.
4 years of investment for less than a year of revenue for his gacha is definitely a mark against him though.
GG2 literally flopped so hard they had to sell the rights to Guilty Gear to SEGA in order to survive. That's the biggest fuckup you can possibly make without outright killing the company.
Fightersz literally sold enough that shitty gacha failing wouldn't even matter
blazblue was literally solo carrying arcsys until fighterZ came out, and like the other anon said, GG pre strive was not moving units and overture was a colossal failure, the fact that daisuke is still around lends credence to the theory that it wasnt just the gacha flopping that cost mori his position (BBTAG is an asset flip hackjob so i dont think it cost them that much) something else must have happened behind the scenes
Daisuke was the damn good music guy and didn't waste years of time on a dogshit failure of a tag game because he wanted a rwby fighter and funds to follow it up with more years of time on a dev hell, dead on arrival gacha. And no he was just one of the many producers, that was the director motomura
Daisuke was only the music guy in recent years cause GG2 flopping so badly made the guy step back from any relevant position. Not like he ever wanted to be anything else but a rockstar. But after GG2 it was clear that he is never gonna make any meaningful decisions again.
Producer? He was THE producer.
And that means he was one position ahead of the director. Literally the guy in charge of the entire project.
That's not how it works you little shit. The producer gets the director while the director is the one actually making shit and giving orders for how the thing should be like how Mori was the producer AND director for blazblue.
I have a reasonable claim to being the single worst Blazblue player of all time. Back in CT, there was this leaderboard and you could sort it by wins. If you did this, then it would show the player with the most wins. If you got to a point where players were tied for wins, then it would sort by losses. So e.g. if you had two players with 47 wins, the person with fewer losses would be ranked higher than the one with more losses.
Every single time I won a game, I would go and check my place on the leaderboard. And every single time I did this, I would be the lowest ranked player for my number of wins. So e.g., when I had 5 wins, there'd be a bunch of people above me with 5 wins, but the person immediately below me was somebody with 4 wins and 0 losses.
picrel is a quick MSPaint mockup of what the leaderboard looked like whenever I got a win.
I don't think Mori left ASW with bad blood.
Studio Flare just seems like it was an opportunity he got with Chinese investment similar to Nagoshi with Yakuza.
And he took the guy who killed Senran Kagura with him too.
He took the executive that wanted Senran to be made in the first place and released in the west with him. After Takaki fucked off to make a shitty live service games for cygames.
Nah, the Senran guy who killed it is a different guy. This one is a coomer just like Mori.
>different guy
Really? I thought this person was the guy who pushed for Yumi's continuity to be the canon one.
>brilliant like Akatsuki
What the fuck am I reading. Akat is plain vanilla too, and he isn't even from the same franchise.
In terms of shoto design I think he's amazing and fun to play. He has a short dash for better spacing and feints, and he can do a fireball out of it. In other games trying to dash and do a fireball can sometimes make a DP come out, so they make his DP a down down input in irder to keep the same idea present while making it flawless to execute either inputs. His tatsu provides his overhead and is still a travel option, has alternative endings depending on what button you hold, he can continue OTGs if you master the dash mechanic and all of his moves are useful in some fashion. He is genuinely my favorite shoto character ever.
I thought we were talking about visual design, not gameplay functions though.
I was referring to both in both capacities. Visual design, game design, visual gameplay, gameplay design. Goddamn Akatsuki is fucking sick.
Well I like a shield nigga who actually uses his fucking shield and tanks through attacks.
And the command grab.
Just play riesbyfe nigga. Thank me later.
I don't play lesbos
I want to armor through shit
Look, when you can do a pilebunker with vanilla water over there, you let me know.
I want a shield, not a pilebunker.
I don't play Bullet or Zenia
Why does his sprite look so off? It's uncanny.
What's wrong with it?
The more I look at it, the more I think it's something to do with his face. It just looks wrong, somehow, it's hard to put my finger on it, but it makes him very offputting.
Is he having the reverse-Yuzuriha effect where he looks okay in art but weird in sprite?
I think his goofy grin is pretty on-character
Pretty sure they got new sprite artists since [st]
Probably because he's one of the newer sprites, and it's contrasting badly against a lot of the old sprites
It's a game that's been devloped over 10 years, the sprites can't possibly remain consistent. Though it's very easy to tell what characters are from the original and what came in later.
aka might look plain but the poses he makes when he does anything helps inmensely
Considering that he lost his position as a director at ArcSys and got put into a boring meaningless marketing position - which is japanese for getting fired - i doubt him wanting to do his own thing was his big motivation. He just wants to be able to make games.
Say what you want about Tag and the gacha, but at least those were spinoffs after the series itself ended on a high note. Bringing it back now, especially without Mori, would bring nothing but disaster.
I hope he starts his own series now without ASW, that would probably be a spiritual sequel the same way BB was first intended to be
Looking at his characters. It wouldn't surprise me if he sets it up as the defacto sequel to BB. Like what if Blazblues ending resulted into a different universe.
It will be very similar with some slight changes to make sure ArcSys can't sue his ass.
Hopefully he can get those games out before ArcSys do their own take on Blazblue and ruin it before he even has a chance to revive it.
Worth learning any of the anime fighters right now or should I endure SF6 some more?
Try out the UNI2 beta in a few weeks.
play +r
Well Granblue and Under night are getting sequels so you'd benefit from at least becoming familiar with them.
most anime fighters are extremely cheap, just look them up and see what you like
moneky keepin my thumbs tilting
im gonna be honest I forgot about jubei's thing of always being hit crouching until that very last match, why did they even give him that anyway? he's not good enough to warrant that. anyway ggs
It was probably done to give him lower effective health without reducing his overall health total, because I think they wanted him to be a pixie character?
what a weird design choice, why not just...give him lower effective health? I mean again I don't even think he's really strong enough to warrant that sort of thing anyway, strange character.
Is there a CF lobby up right now?

why is Hibiki so high? Because of SNK?
Why is Kagura's literal who cousin ranked higher than Relius? The fuck?
Like I said, TRASH TASTES
Probably because Hibiki is a faggy twink housewife and because the fanbase is filled with fujos
>hibiki that high when he's a literal nothing character
>based bang that low
>hakumen that low
jesus christ
>reddit taste the post
>agree on hibiki being a nothing character though
taste the post
i just think all the CT characters should be higher, simple as.
Why does Japan hate Relius? Is it because he mindraped Makoto?
Big Daddy Relius hurt their precious waifus' feelings.

I miss bururaji. Are there archives anywhere? Back in the day I remember any subbed uploads were kill-on-sight by the Arc Cops.
>Are there archives anywhere?
a couple, there's a playlist of like 5-7 (dont remember) subbed episodes but they're completely random selections and you've probably already seen them. other than that subbbed uploads aren't really seen anymore
Why does nobody ever remind people that you could vote daily on this poll? Combined with the fact it was over months, just a few people could skew the results.
Won't lie bros, BB has some trash fire designs
such as?
Ragna being the obvious one, but it was Tsubaki that annoyed recently, mainly her weapons and the stupid eyeball designs on her outfit
>Ragna
stopped reading there, get better taste and then and only then will I interact with you again
Ragna looks like garbage bro, your taste is incredibly bad
Ragna is good edgy design. Learn how to like fun, fag.
Because he's the creep of the franchise. They're generally not popular.
>Edgy
I fucking wish, he just looks retarded, there's nothing edgy about Ragna's design

At least the fucking mobile game just barely gave her a slightly less shit ending after that.
She was supposed to die in CT and stay dead.
>went from being one of the most OP characters of all time to middle of the road
That's generally called "balancing" and is a good thing
storyfags don't know what's that. They think in DBZ power levels
That was the least egregious part, it was just unsatisfying.
The fact she completely changed between games not so much. That was annoying as hell.

>but i just know you homosexuals will stop hosting lobbies once i do it
ive been trying to make blazblue threads a more semi-regular occurance with varying success so there'll probably be tons of lobbies to come
Some anon makes Fighting Game threads every weekend and worst case, just make another BB thread.
The best way to get lobbies is to just make a lobby yourself. These threads tend to live the longest on weekends but sometimes there are late night threads on weekdays.
>just like the time i bought Divine Cybermancy
E.Y.E is good even if you play solo
i always end up losing my save and really hate to go through everything again. Theres problably a lot of side quest stuff im missing, or are the levels really that barren?
The levels are huge and somewhat barren, but they have NPCs here and there, small side missions and other stuff. You're meant to play it 3 times total to get the true ending, and it's likely you'll miss one route if you don't explore
I will play whatever Mori is cooking up but ArcSys will never see another penny from me for one of their own titles. Strive was the final nail and Sols story is truly over. Whatever they got in mind for Blazblue can only be awful as well.
FUCK TSUBAKI and not in the literal sense
don't worry tsubaki, i hate all of your friends too.
Wait, isn't the GBVSR beta this weekend?
Nah, end of next week
Nov 9 to Nov 12
GGs.
Mori needs to get his game out ASAP and shill it as the Blazblue successor before ArcSys can give Blazblue the Strive treatment.
That way he can unite all the BBfags under his banner and people won't even bother giving ArcSys another try with the series.
I am really curious as to why you retards think Mori's next game won't be dumbed down like Strive
There is no way he can compete with Strive on a visual and technical level with his new baby company. So going ultra casual like Strive just wouldn't work. What he can do however is the weebest, the chuuniest the horniest game imaginable and get an audience that way. Trying to appeal to normalfags is simply impossible from his position even if he wanted that.
ultimate otaku fighting game with all the character archetypes?
Basically that yeah. You have to find your own niche if you want to survive. Trying to compete with big mainstream fighters is just suicidal. He knows the BB community loves him and his work so all he has to do is commit to that.
If he ever makes it big again there is of course the potential of him selling out and chasing the big esports bucks but that's not something to worry about for atleast a decade. Especially considering that his first game is an action game and not a fighter.
>There is no way he can compete with Strive on a visual and technical level with his new baby company.
Who cares about graphics in a fighting game, look at melty blood.
Yeah and Melty has literally multiple e-boi characters dabbing on you.
Depends on what you mean, because Melty Blood looks boring and is completely dead.
You underestimate ESG money. Btw Blackrock has their office in Japan now.
japan is such a shit hole
>Btw Blackrock has their office in Japan now.
it's so over
the east has fallen
How much can he rush it though? BB is full of storyfags so he can't just cut the story mode. Maybe release it in "open beta" and then add the story mode with the full release?
Hopefully he got scared after BBTAG
arcsys will never touch blazblue again lmao
they might sell some cheap merch but thats it
don't you have a company you don't like to get irrationally angry about
why would they make another blazblue instead of just milking GG and making licensed fighters
There's literally a rougelike that just came out
>counting a roguelike with a blazblue skin as a blazblue game
nta but not a single soul feels like it's an actual blazblue game
its not but it has the brand
so whats the point then
that arcsys is still milking the franchise
If the dog shit gacha was a blazblue game, why not the middling roguelike?
the shit gacha was way more blazblue than that shit roguelike
How so?
It's actually related to the story of the previous games for starters
Fair enough. I lost all respect for BB and Mori after Tag, so I don't really care what Arcsys does with IP
You do realise this could also go the way of MN9?
Name a worse BB girl. You cant.
i was gonna say es but at least she has a very nice body everything else aside, tsubaki has basically nothing and dresses horribly in comparison to noel and makoto
Es was at least cute as hell in her own VN story stuff, if unnecessary in BB itself.
Litchi.
I hate Celica and Mai more.
Tsubaki is a dumb bitch because the plot demands her to be. She's still not good but not complete garbage.
Mori is confirmed to be making an action game first under his new company and a new fighting game as his 2nd project. So you got like 4-5 years minimum.
I hated her so much in CSE but I don't remember the reason anymore
She got hypnotized into thinking Noel stole her position as Jin's aide and got all murdery.
Then she keeps using the dumb eye book that turns her insane the more she uses it. Basically she was a dumb cunt.
She was just a justicefag being manipulated by Hazama and Izayoi. She was stupid but I think the hate for her was a bit overblown.
I always liked her, don't she how can she be the worse girl when Litchi exists
still perfect housewife material

i'd rail lambda
>the most horny arcsys guy teams up with the most horny Senran guy to make a new studio and people think they will just create something super washed out and SFW
Good games everyone. I wonder if Tao's got safe anti-wakeup tech like Jin or Makoto
I have no idea what the fuck Tao is doing
I have not fought her in over 10 years
really just her supers or crawl (low profiling only) but xdest has some tech for dealing with some opponents on wakeup
haven't seen him in a while tho and he was doing vr shit last i saw
Crawl by itself should be able to low profile a lot of DPs, excluding things like Naoto or Ragna's DP. Could also probably end your combo prematurely for a safejump set up but not sure what Tao has for that.
Mori was too obsessed with RPGs and trying to be like Type-Moon that the franchise died.
Can't believe there are people thinking ArcSys can deliver when the very first thing they do after Mori leaves is letting a bunch of chinks use the IP for a low effort roguelite asset flip
And that asset flip chink shit was still better than Mori's dog shit gacha
are there any good blazblue doujins?
Just the tanabe ones.
Is that new meltyblood game like CF? I haven't really found a fighting game since that's really clicked with me like CF has.
no, not at all
I like CF but couldn't get into Type Lumina. To be fair to it, I didn't play a lot of it, but I wasn't really interested from what I did play.
they are both fighting games that let you air dash and double jump
Kiiiiiiiiiind of.
You have SOME aerial mobility and fishing for air counterhits gives you ample time to just land and then convert off of the untech time. Offense-wise I think MBTL is utterly boring as fuck because semi-optimal combos are incredibly easy to do and everyone can do them so it feels bland as hell, plus the hard damage proration cap basically have most characters doing the same amount of damage. The game just gives you meter like candy so ending every combo with meter for guaranteed hard knockdown is incredibly commonplace. Defense wise I think playing MBTL for a couple months gave me worse habits in other fighting games because frame 1 shield and backdash options are so strong, please Heat heals recoverable health and is incredibly easy to just use on guard cancel so imagine if you could ODR every time you have one bar of meter.
I'd honestly rather play more CF.
Nope, its oversimplified too.
Not really but unfortunately I think it's as close as you're gonna get out of all the modern fighting games
It's the only modern aridasher
Try Uni or Xrd. Closest you'll get.
uni is nothing like cf
I would normally suggest TFH, it shares a lot of DNA with Blazblue, but unfortunately it's in kind of a rough state and the devs are seeming less and less competent as time goes on. Apparently there's a big balance patch coming out "soon," if it looks like maybe they're turning things around after that it could be a great choice, it really is a very good game at its core, but probably better to wait and see because if things continue the way they have been for the last year or two it's going to die a sad, pathetic and totally avoidable death.
Yeah, I played that for awhile until Texas came along. There's a reason why Amane's hitboxes on his sashs are only at the tips of those.
If they are going to turn it into the slop fest Guilty Gear is I hope it remains dead.
>bottom 3
>dogshit range
>easy to play, but irrelevant when characters like Mai and Susanoo exist and are way stronger
Why is noel suffering?
Maybe if her guns actually shot bullets
Because she more accurately uses two clubs with extended ranges than two guns.
I don't see why people say Noel is easy to play. She either has to be close enough for 6A to hit or confirm a crouching hit to get a combo for more than 1.5k damage and her drive starters rely on making reads. She has no oki midscreen and the best she gets in the corner is 5C buffered into 236C to catch rolls. Her 6A is also garbage.
I'm not very good at this game, I just keep losing water weight to Platinum.
>All these cool weapon designs
>Settles for a spearhead and a book with an eye on it
Someone needs to be slapped.
Interesting that they also wanted to give her dual lightsabers at one point since Jin also had those in concept art. No characters ended up having those in the end which is kinda lame.
Surprised they actually chose the best design for him, lucky bastard.
I accepted that it's time to move on. SF6 has been fun to play, GBVSR and UNI2 coming up. It will never be BlazBlue but there is fighting to be done
Post the fanart gallery. The Platinum ones.
I'd do it myself but then I'd have to redowmload whole 10+ gb again.
Fanart gallery? Every copy of BBCF on Steam comes with the commemorative artbook.
i want to fuck izanami, she's the biggest bitch on the block
Yeah she's my favorite. I share her sentiment in hating the majority of the cast. I deleted the entire artbook save for images of her.
It will come back soon and then you will wish it had stayed with CF.
i dunno about you guys but i really don't like CF's artstyle for some characters, loved me some CSE art though, characters like ragna and bang looked great there.
I liked Chronophantasma's art
I felt like CP worked especially well for some (Kokonoe, Hazama, Bullet, Terumi) and felt like a downgrade for others (Tager, Rachel, Hakumen, and ESPECIALLY Makoto) but the artstyle was still great.
>Es was at least cute as hell in her own VN story stuff,
yeah too bad nobody played xblaze
Xblaze isn't worth reading to begin with
I think I can say that for virtually all the auxiliary material of Blazblue in general, besides the in-game bonus episodes like Makoto fucking up Terumi's plans in one timeline and Ragna's elaborated history of the Black Beast stuff that went from novel to straight up being embedded in the story mode stuff itself. Virtually every other parcel of story is either "who gives a shit" or "this is fucking terrible" no matter how many cute girls it throws out.
Yes I'll even go as far to say Mai's own manga was shit too.
>Yes I'll even go as far to say Mai's own manga was shit too.
you say that like it's a controversial opinion when most people generally agree mai isn't a very good character in the first place
I know but it astounds me how many turbohorny fans there are of her specifically that eat up anything involving her and defend it because it makes a bulge in their pants.
Mai is a shilled character that's only good for her looks and how easy to use
Mai's manga is purely a genderbend fetishist's manga so of course the mangaonly readers who only stuck to reading storymode would love her. No matter what the tripfag said, it's a mediocre shounen ecchi series with genderbend.
Who gives a shit? That's like trying to say LoveHina is shit because it panders to otaku pervs. Talk about being captain obvious.
Love Hina is worse for normalizing punching the MC being treated as comedy gold for a good decade.
And otakus love it. If you're not an otaku I don't see why you'd bitch and moan. You aren't their target audience.
Good harem comedy can come from not beating up the MC.
Genderbends are a fetish but they don't need to pretend like it's objectively better than other genres like how the mai tripfag used to argue for literal hours.
Good is point of view and your view is objectively shit.
Nothing says your view isn't shit neither.
Nuh uh mine is great, yours is bad.
I think the game's story ended near perfectly (I know it's giga autismo to care about FG lore but BB really is awesome). CF has rollback and you can get games easily anytime. If anything I think a new BB game would have a higher chance of fucking up and ruining what i is a well done and simply finished series.
>Did it really have to end like that?
Yes
>Will a comeback ever happen?
Never
For a series with such heavy fanservice it's really a surprise there's a severe lack of good hentai and doujin.
Video games just don't get it. Just anime for some reason.
>blazblue thread hit bump limit
>only one lobby
at least one happened, right?
It went for like 5 hours, it was fine. Better than most.
yeah I know i was there but still, I do wish more people actually played or tried to make lobbies because there's only ever like 8-9 regulars that actually play the fucking game and the rest of the IP's here are just talking about strive or some other fucking fighting game or are just storyfags
I play it for porn
i feel you here
i don't mind waifufagging and all that shit but if someone's sitting here wondering why there isn't a new game in the series while never playing it and especially if you're some dubfag who skipped cf because of the lack of dubs, then i do feel like there's a need to be uppity at something like that
it's a real damn shame the CF dub mod only works if both players have it iirc, otherwise you'll desync but i could be wrong about that.
it at least had one lobby so that makes it somewhat successful
even if not all 97 posters in it actually played when it was mainly 7 or 8 players
