Monarch Report post Posted April 24, 2014 My most difficult question thus far, how does one go about learning a new character? I personally have always just went to that characters challenge mode, but I'm not sure if this is the best way. The character in question I'm trying to learn (if it matters) is Nu-13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NecroTheReaper Report post Posted April 24, 2014 Personally I play the AI until I'm able to use pokes and such accordingly as well as working on hit confiring. I don't use this as a way to get better as much as I use it to learn spacing, since imo, that's the biggest change when switching characters. After I feel confident enough, I play that character against friends online Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muerto Report post Posted April 24, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzUQ5FR7TQA This is a good place to start, it tells you a good way to go about learning new characters, its aimed at guilty gear but it should work for pretty much any fighting game with a training mode. Also checking out the wiki or seeking for any tutorial or guide on the character in question can help a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedTag14 Report post Posted April 24, 2014 So Japan just got BBCP for the Vita. Is it available as a digital download as well? I think this page confirms it (http://www.jp.playstation.com/software/title/jp0036pcsg00180_00blazbluecp001000.html), but I can't find it on the store on my Vita.

Raziul Report post Posted April 25, 2014 Do we have any hard info about the color rank system? Things like number of wins and if there's a difference between a win and a loss? Do you get more in certain modes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myoro Report post Posted April 25, 2014 Do we have any hard info about the color rank system? Things like number of wins and if there's a difference between a win and a loss? Do you get more in certain modes? I can only tell you my experience with it, once you change a color you get placed on a scale of wins vs. losses against your own color. for instance Player "A" and "B" become yellow squares. Player "A" and "B" now must ether win 10 times to become orange or lose 10 times to become lime green. Player "A" wins a match against player "B". Now player "A" can only have 9 wins or 11 losses before they change color, whereas player "B" must win 11 times or lose 9 times to change color. That's how it's seemed to work in my experience, although I have no hard fact to back it up and I don't know the exact number of wins and losses needed to change, or it they are weighted in a 1:1 ratio, or what the cap of stored wins you can have as a pink are.

redsilversnake Report post Posted April 25, 2014 It's definitely not ten. I had a ten game win streak against someone with the same square color, but neither of ours changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Owner Report post Posted April 25, 2014 It can still be true even when someone has a ten game win streak: For example: A player just turned yellow and now loses 5 times against another yellow player After those matches he plays another yellow player and wins ten times in a row After turning yellow: 10 wins to rank up, 10 loses to rank down After playing the first player: 15 wins to rank up, 5 loses to rank down After playing the second player: 5 wins to rank up, 15 loses to rank down But yeah, if we could just get a statistic for how close we are to rank up or down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
president Report post Posted April 28, 2014 I used to play BB at the CS1/CS2 era. When I had look at BBCP I ended up with a re-worked Hakumen whose new combos don't appeal to me at all. I really liked his old corner juggles involving re-launches and airdash links, especially how strong they were against bursts, but that's apparently gone now. I don't know anything about the new characters or the changes to the other old ones, but is there a character who feels more similar to GGAC Baiken/Slayer in terms of combo execution now? Link-oriented, preferably with airdashes and re-jump links in them. Alternatively someone who's just really good at baiting and punishing bursts mid-combo, if that even exists?

Owner Report post Posted April 28, 2014 Azrael is pretty much a link-oriented character plus he has Slayers teleport dashes (backdash can get you out of pressure easily because of invul frames) However his jumps and airdashes look like Order-Sols movement (low jump arc, medium airdash range) Mid-combo burst baiting is possible for every char: Either you use 50 meter to rapid or you jump cancel a move to block instantly in the air But since the bursts are faster now it really does not pay off to go for a burst bait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airk Report post Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah, I kindof submit that Hakumen's old "auto burst bait" combos were kindof stupid in that regard and that it's probably a good thing that your opponents don't have to learn the two places in each combo where it actually works for them to burst. That may just be my opinion though. Anyway, I too was going to chime in with Azrael, even though I kindof hate him, he seems to mostly fit the description there. Not sure why you'd choose a character based on their combo mechanics, but if you want links, he's your guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

White Man Report post Posted April 29, 2014 Apologies in advance if this information is readily available and I'm just too stupid to find it...

Have ASW confirmed a date for the release of the 1.1 console patch, or is it just set for some unspecified time in May? I believe the most recent we heard from a Mori interview was that they're aiming to release the patch sometime in "mid-May" to make the game tournament-ready for EVO.

Poultrygeist Report post Posted April 30, 2014 Well the Vita version (with 1.1 intact) is out in Japan, so I guess it's a matter of time. Just my opinion, take it for what it's worth, but I think they're gonna drop 1.1 with the public release for Terumi in the US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darklightjg1 Report post Posted April 30, 2014 I hope you understand that nobody pities you. :P That's fine. Didn't mean to make it seem like I was looking for any.

'Clock is ticking and I just want to get it over with, so I can practice my nerfed character and not wonder if what I'm doing is still legit. Isn't Kokonoe still considered S-Tier, according to this early 1.1 Arcadia tier list? You'll have to endure more claims of "fraudulent wins," I'm afraid. Well the Vita version (with 1.1 intact) is out in Japan, so I guess it's a matter of time. Does anyone who has the 1.1 Vita version know if the challenges are updated? I figure at least some of them will require some reworking with all these changes (and could be one of the reasons for the delay). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
