BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma |OT| Simultaneous worldwide release? What's that?
- Thread starter Ken
- Start date
Same here. Hopefully you guys are right with PA shipping before the game releases so I get it the day of release or even earlier.
Well Azrael will probably be a sub, I'm going all in with Izayoi.
I'd so continue playing Hakumen as well, especially due to his increased scariness the lower the life he has, but Izayoi, Azrael, and Kagura would already be plenty for me to mess around with.

That's the exact video.
I know Hakumen is a high damage character but can anyone else do 100% combo's like he can with OD? If not I imagine he'll be patched eventually.
I'll be importing this on PSN; managed to grab 7000y of PSN points for $80 from a friend in Japan so I'm set. I don't get why the release of this game is delayed by so much in the US; Aksys was pretty good about having near-parity with the US and JP releases with the previous releases. Never mind anyone who wants to play the game at a tournament level, they almost have to import (4+ months is a lot of time to give up).
I doubt it will be patched until the next major revision (maybe they end up releasing a BBCP2 to bring the AC version to character parity with the CS release); I can't think of a single Japanese FG developer who patches games mid-lifecycle like that. (If the game just came out? Maybe.)
The fuck.
Scary how it's possible he might not even be top 5. A lot of the top characters are looking pretty good.

Fantastic series, can't wait!!

Damn. Not like it is the longest or hardest looking combo in the world either. Might as well just hang out in the corner and scare the shit out of anybody coming close.

the literal cheapest way is have a Japan credit card and charge the exact amount
assuming that is not an option, you'll have to buy points from play-asia or japan-codes :/
Waiting for the US version.
This doesn't even seem like a reasonable possibility.

Not followed BlazBlu in a while but want to pick this up when it hits the US.
I like easy to play characters, especially zoners and annoying ones. Who's for me?

For zoners there's Rachel, Nu-13, Mu-12.
A good Taokaka is somewhat annoying to play against.
Speaking of Tao I might make her my sub. First I need to try out all the other characters once I get the game first though.
Mu or Lambda are ones that best fit your description. There aren't that many zoners in BB, and each zoner do have pressure/rushdown capability.
Mu's easier since Lambda has mode changes that changes various things which affects combos and neutral game.
I'm pretty sure he's always had one since CS first came as DLC at least and in game unlock in Extend.

Preordered. Let's see if this takes as long as Catherine did... (Imported it day 1, took like a week and a half of agony to receive.)
I've yet to unlock anything in Extend, so that's probably why....
Stop ruining my moment!
Trying to finally get through BB's story before CP comes out. I took a look at the story menu in Extend and saw that you can start at Calamity Trigger. Does this start at the beginning of the story or after? I played the intro movie it provided and it was so damn confusing...I don't know if it was done purposefully or if there's a part of the story that's already been told...
Give Lambda a shot. She has a lot of tools and is probably the easiest zoner to play in BB.
EDIT: Are we calling her Nu again? I don't know how the plot works.
Dustloop is lovely until you want to have a conversation or learn anything past the very basics of the game for most characters.
I would argue that the failure of Dustloop to provide an environment conducive to discourse and analysis is the reason that the English speaking world is so bad at BlazBlue.
This game is looking incredible. I've bought all of them, but haven't been completely involved in it since the patch from the first CS. I pretty much have to re-learn the game all over again and just might for Phantasma

Yeah, I don't know the details but Lambda-11 is gone, Nu-13 is back.
From what I remember hearing, it's a streamlined quick version of CT's story. And yes, BB's story as a whole is confusing, so don't worry.
It's Nu in this one.
Yeah, DL is pretty bad on discussions, luckily some character boards are nice and helpful.
Everywhere else is pretty awful though. Anything in the Generals portion feels like I walked into smashboards. :/

How viable is Bullet? I dig her playstyle and design.
bullet is fish. In other words, that means she sucks. Too gimmicky. She's in terrible tier along with Izayoi and amane.
Also, 6 MORE DAYS GET HYPE!

Thanks for the replies.
Is there a current tier list for this game?

IMO, everyone's viable. So just choose whoever. She's not the best, but she isn't at the bottom either if that helps.
So pretty much it's ok damage and fair share of bad matchups.
No, there's just opinions floating about between Japanese players on who's strong and who's on the weaker side.
In no order, the strong ones are Tao, Litchi, Hazama, Valk, Rachel, Hakumen, Jin, and Relius.
IMO, the first 4 listed are the top 4. Of course things change, and this is just my opinion from videos and Japanese players.

I've heard bad things about shoryuken's forums as well.
I use dustloop just as a resource though. NeoGAF is fine I think for civil discussion about fighting game mechanics.
I actually wanted to ask if you knew anything about this?
In this clip when the Noel player starts up a 5C and Valk immediately counters with a DD, however the Noel player somehow cancelled it into a barrier block. Is this something like a kara cancel with Tager where the first few frames of a jump can be cancelled with his Tager Buster or is it something else?
I'd like some more info about this, will *all* in-game written text be available in English? If so then I'm definitely importing, I always play with the Japanese voices anyway so no point in waiting for NA release.
It was just a kara cancel into barrier like you said. So before 5C's active frames came out, she was able to barrier during the super flash.
Edit: While I'm at it, what more Noel players should do is kara throw when they want to throw. Doing a kara off of 6B gives her good range for it.
At best, you can hope for english menus. I think there have been times when PA has stated the Asian version will have english text, but it isn't always accurate until after release.
So who knows if the game will really have it before release date.
Izayoi in dat terrible tier? Won't stop me!
What makes her bad btw? I was on DS and they said it's mainly due to not enough people playing her and her movement which takes getting used to.
God dammit
I guess I'll wait until the Asia version is out and in people's hands before going for it. Unless it's fully translated (excluding voices), I'll suck it up and wait 6 months. I don't want to miss anything, but I don't want to have to buy it twice either.
(Ugh that's the annoying thing about these Asian releases, it's always unclear what language options are there prior to release.)

She's not bad. It's just other characters are lots better. Her normals are ok, but for a character that uses resources, it feels like she doesn't get as much damage as she should. She probably has more potential to discover though.

I'll have to try that out. It looks like the timing is really strict but that shouldn't be too much of an issue with an arcade stick.
I don't know why everyone is getting so hung up on tier lists. If you're proficient with the character you want to play, as tiers aren't going to matter. Goro is proof of that with Makoto. Izayoi isn't terrible, it's that she relies more on gimmicks than solid play like Jin and Hakumen. If people are just looking for someone easy to learn and solid just play Azreal most everyone is saying he's really easy and pretty safe with his dashes.

Bet you'll be confused about why Litchi and Hazama are buddies now.
And DL has its flaws, but the character boards gave me some solid Tsubaki help.

I think people are just curious. I doubt anyone will seriously choose their main based on a tier list. At least I've never chosen a character based on that.
Even in a highly competitive environment it's down to how you react and what you do in a match that will determine victory.
Even if some characters do lower damage in comparison to others it doesn't guarantee anything.
I feel like I'm saying a lot of things that are obvious but I think it's good to mention them anyway, just to put it on the table.
I wouldn't downplay tiers that much when it comes to character relevance in competitive play. Still tier lists matter very little outside of high level play and I would think it'd be too early to come to conclusions, but the game's been out in Japanese arcades for a while, huh.
All I know is it's gonna be fun literally stomping people with Terumi.
