Scratchmen Apoo

Speaking of console release....HURRY AND GIVE IT TO US!

Good games to all the pro players I beat, Justin Wong you keep getting better and better but I edged out again, same to Combofiend and Dora as well as Kaqn. Good sets but I remain undefeated as usual.

Looks dope, though I wont lie I legit thought this was confirmation for a console release.

Okay so I have a quick question regarding just 4 characters, a brief explanation would be fine so I don't derail the thread. Anyways I was going through some tier list and discussions and saw that Hazama, Nu 13 and Rachel were all considered bad. This is the first time I have seen Hazama and Nu 13 so low and Racehl was pretty good in CP, what did they do to make these characters bad? The last character I'm curious about is Naoto as many consider him to be the worst in the game, why is that, I thought he just had a tricky to use style but was pretty decent. I mean I'm still gonna main him but I'm curious. Sorry if this is the wrong place but I figured it would be more productive than going to each individual thread and asking the same thing. It's just these changes baffled me. Even some patch notes for the 4 would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm liking Naoto, definitely thinking of maining him. I hpe we get Jubei and Imperator but we likely wont see them until Extended lol. And Terumi is worse than Amane?

Wow Airk, thank you so much, I couldn't have said it better myself, I learned some things, I will be sure to show him that video, I'm sure he will be pleased to know this, and very true about Rachel being more difficult.

Because this is stuff that my brother was complaining about, and this is info from BBCS2, perhaps you did not read correctly, and no offense meant, but I am still new here, I have been trying to get on more often and learn how everything works, I have had enough trouble simply editing my profile the way I want to. I brought up things from BBCS and BBCT to make a point at what my brother what getting at, you gave ame an infraction for asking a question you considered dumb, that is a pretty silly reason, it's not like I was completely off topic, I ddin't even know that was against the rules, I was just asking for advice. And when I talk about videos and the gameplay of the said characters in the videos I am going to also ask about balance, like I did pages back with some Mokoto and Ragna videos. That is one of the ways I can really critique the players until I am really familer with the new system, unlike most I am pretty recently getting into Jourdal's videos, so I am not too experienced with the balance yet, which is why I come here to get advice from pros. But I digress, if it is against the rules I apologize, I do thank those who were patient and mature enough to answer my question, it helped a lot guys I will make sure to make use of the search function next time.

Hey guys recently me and my brother have been having trouble, me and him were playing BBCS2 and he was Rachel and I was Bang, when I use Bang I use my basic bread and butter combos (B,forward B, Dragon punch B) that combo takes out about two or so guard libras, I thought they toned bang donw but my brother does not think so, however he makes good points, here is the gist of the complaint: No one really talks about Bang despite him being really good, he has great health, great attack, great speed (Running and fighting) his standing B is too fast, long and powerful, he can combo off of almost any hit, he is too good at putting on pressure and getting out of it, he is too versatile (Nails, that bounce and take up the screen, poison nails to chip away health, nails that stick you in place and the exploding one.) he can then throw 3 nails then while you are blocking the three nails, run full screen and put some serious pressure on you. He also states that is is unfair how much invincibility time he gets compared to Rachel, all his distortion drives give him some incredible invincibility, meanwhile Rachel's can be stopped with a normal attack, he also says Bang's drive is the most overpowered in the game because it's a one-button escape move, when Rachel does a distortion, Bang can simply press D and teleport behind her and counter. Keep in mind he is not belly aching because of a few losses, it's just he had been a rachel main ever since she came out, he really wanted to prove to people that she was not low tier, when we were playing BBCS, however he still wanted a stronger Rachel, so of course he was excited for Rachel in BBCS2, however he says: while they gave her back her damage they took out her combos which really got to him, he says that simply taking out Bang's wall bounce did not do much as other than that he does not see hoe they really toned Bang down. Although I have ONLY used Bang since Calamity Trigger, I would still like to hear from some professionals on this matter. In the end hey just doesn't think that a character who does nothing in the story and is comic relief should be more powerful than the strongest character in the story, he just really likes Rachel and wants to know why she is so seemingly weak. Harsh criticisms is excepted but make sure it is also helpful for him, even though I don't like Rachel I think you guys can explain this better than I can. Is Bang overpowered?

I hope Carl never gets banned, I always felt he was the Nes (From Super smash bros.) of Blazblue, lots I people (That I knew personally) thought he sucked until I showed them videos of Kyaku and DIO. And then I started playing as him, I really don't see why he should be considered overpowered when he is pretty much a 1 combo character that is difficult to use. As for Arakune I have no idea since I have not been watching any matches with him but I hear he is pretty OP.

Good to know about Bang. But Rachel? I dunno when I played against her using Bang I took her out rather quickly but you may be right considering I killed Ragna faster but at least with him it's understandable, as for her guard I don't mean how many she has I mean how easily they break, using Bang's B,B, dragonpunch B, I was able to take out like two libras every time, same with using Carl's Nirvana (Although that already does heavy damage) still you are probably right, I haven't played the game's new additions for very long so it is most likely my imagination.

Okay thanks, I will check those out.

I didn't know that, guess it was just all the combo videos with him and match ups. Thanks. Poor Tager, but even Bang can still be good? Impressive, even though I don't main Rachel it is good to hear even she can be devistating still. Her health and guard are still trash though. I never saw many Akira matches, I need to check him out, it is sad that they can't do too much with Tager, they should make him like Potenkin from Guilty gear, now that would make Tager godlike. And I can believe you on that Makoto, I heard a few players even switched over to playing as her now.

Good lord, Ragna is godlike, how is he not top tier anymore? lol Can anyone link some videos to Zero's rachel, I am interested to see how devastating she is with the patch, I also want to see Kyaku's carl (Although I have been sweating Jourdal's videos with Carl in it.) I also hear Naburi is good with Platinum. Sorry for all the request lol. On another note, I hear that there are no bottom tier characters anymore, that is good to hear, has anyone noticed characters that are still overpowered or underpowered? I have not gotten the chance to see too many changes so I wanted some expert opinions on the changes.

I am really liking Jin in this, thanks for uploading matches though, they are awesome, I know what players to look out for and try to learn things form them. My favorite player has got to be Kyaku. I am surprised at how Godlike Noel is though, she almost seems overpowered again to me.

Can anyone tell me some people to look out for, I really want to know good Rachel, Carl, Bang and Trinity players. I know of Dora, Minami, and chariot. Noob question I know but I want to study some of the good players, any reccomendations?
