  1. All I know is that we'll get some more sequel hooks for when Blazblue finally makes the Xrd jump. Jubei seems to have gotten upscaled to Carl's size. I think it's better this way. BB x The World looks very hype, I wonder how's it going to play button wise though. All I ask for is a reasonable PC release date. What are the odds of we getting Ultimax on Steam though? I won't say impossible since Overture did get ported, but it's going to be tough to have Cross Tag and not Ultimax in the same platform, sounds very unreasonable. Besides, seems Arc Sys did manage to work something out with Atlus if P4A is in. Man, the possibility of this being PS4 only because of Atlus is hella scary.
  2. Capcom is hella dead at this point. I can't rest until I know the BB crossover is a PC game too. I don't want to wait 2 years...
  3. Wait, I just remembered, was it announced for PC too?
  4. WE MADE IT BRO! JUBEI'S IN!
  5. Besides a pretty weak mixup, Mai's pretty good and well-rounded. I'd say mid/upper mid-tier, maybe even better depending on how the rest of the cast works. Mai definitely has a good advantage against characters with weak neutral.
  6. Yep. That's the list. Of course, I don't expect Kagura or Susano'o taking EVO by storm, but having characters like Ragna or Hakumen qualify as barely viable is weird, and 12 characters straight up tossed under the bus in unusual in BB, so I just wanted to check if this is really the general consensus.
  7. About that balance issue... How bad is it? I couldn't even find a tier list. In fact, the only thing resembling a tier list was that ancient (I think it was made during the Loketests) analysis SKD made with people still following that. The older Blazblues were balanced enough to have most of the cast viable at worst, even if there were some clear top tiers, so hearing that BBCF is that imbalanced is kinda weird, and besides, I want to know what I should be looking for when watching EVO.
  8. Almost 6 months to port a game to Steam. Said game somehow manages to have 52GB, random crashes and other issues. And apparently wack balance, but I'm not sure about that since I haven't even played the game yet. Furthermore, there is a suprise announcement post-EVO that could be anything ranging from the sequel series foreshadowed in the Story Ending, BBCF Extend, or the long awaited sequel to Eat Beat Dead Spike-san. Arc Sys, what is wrong with you?
  9. A bit late to this, but Steam can get DLC's too. Speaking of which, might be the first time too. (Unless CT had it, can't be bothered to check) We always got Extend (Years late) so it wasn't an issue. Considering how Revelator went, (I'm so glad I didn't buy it this time.) I don't like my chances.
  10. Well, it has a chance. I'd rather see Skullgirls though, not to mention Infinite's in next year. In other, more important news, we main stage on Sunday! (This kinda sucks for me though, might miss it depending on schedule. At least I'll be able to watch Rev 2 though.) Who's ready for Terumi's Dog Kicking Loops on ESPN!?
  11. Turns out that I took a three week vacation from here and we still hit the Jubei topic. I'm proud of you guys. Switch getting a Blazblue (Please, be Central Fiction) is pretty good. Except when you remember that the Switch may get it before Steam. In other F*** PC news from ArcSys, Revelator out for PC! *3 Weeks later* "We're proud to announce Rev 2!" Good thing they're actually making it DLC, so I'll be able to get this in the Steam Winter Sale in four years. But seriously, couldn't they at least have said it's a fighting game? Are we really getting Eat Beat Dead Spike-san for Switch or is Mori trolling us with CF Extend for Switch?
  12. Truth is, until the new DLC chars get announced. We don't have news to discuss, only wild speculation about who's getting in and what they'll do. We do need a general thread.
  13. Alright, fair enough. Where is the proper section on the forum to start a thread like that? Also, how does one update the main page, or only certain members can post articles? There is still no information about Revelator's Steam release on it. Also, to keep the post on-topic, are there any news about DLC or a Steam release for BBCF? Just making sure I don't miss anything.
  14. I would have NEVER known that if you didn't post. Seriously, we're dropping the ball on this. Why is that not on the first page? Ok, one of the main issues we're having is complete lack of discussion over here. The character forums are completely barren, so people have to rely on Youtube for combos that usually aren't good, reliable, simple or even all of these. This also means that we don't have good match-up discussion or information about how to play characters correctly. Currently, Dustloop is completely outdated in the news department and lacks information and activity to not be completely bodied by Discord. It's very important for relevant news regarding Game Patches and Tournaments to be on the first page, and more importantly, have the Wiki updated. A wiki is basically the first thing anyone searches if they want information about anything, so having a good wiki is very important to give the new players the basic information they need. As they absorb it, they'll want more in-depth information, and that's where the Character Sub-Forums get in. Having in-depth information about playstyles, combos and strategies lead the new players to learning how to play the game correctly and getting involved in the community. As they progress, they'll want more information on match-ups and finding other players online to test their skills and eventually joining tournaments. Therefore, as a community, I believe we should go back to the basics. Let's update our main page. Let's update our wiki. Let's post links and videos with useful information and get some discussion going. Let's remind people that Dustloop is certainly not dead, We have current games to discuss, this isn't like back when all we had was GGXX and endless revisions and updates. We have good games, let's talk about them and play. (Spoiler: Long post above. )
  15. Susano'o had a small ban time after his release for the same reason. Sad to know that the Gate Stage is locked though, that looks like the most lag-free stage in the game. It probably was to not completely spoil the people who jump online day 1 and put the stage in random select. Still dumb though. It's not like Susano'o isn't a walking spoiler anyway.
  16. I believe everyone here knows what this means, right? Break out the party cake, Take-Mikazuchi's going to be playable guys!
  17. If we were talking about XBlaze I'd agree a bit, however, we don't really know a lot of Bloodedge Experience as a whole because it wasn't translated. So while you may be right, I think a BE game would be interesting not only because it would be a way to foreshadow the BB sequel, but also because we don't know what's up with that thing. When I first heard about Bloodedge Experience I actually thought it sounded like a Bururaji segment or some crazy thing like that. Just to make sure, I'm going to throw this to the wolves in the CF Story Speculation thread and see what happens, don't want to derail the gameplay thread.
  18. Well, considering Ishitawari wasn't exactly the dude behind the CP remixes, I'd rather have him back. Most of the CF tracks are really good, but the CP remixes were overall weak. Of course, there are exceptions. But back to the gameplay, this actually reminds me a bit of how GGXXAtoZ+R Hyper fighting turbo and GG2 led into Xrd. Accent Core finished the XX chapter, GG2 actually had a lot less characters but moved the story forward and after that we got Xrd. I think that we might see a Bloodedge Experience game in the future, leading to whatever got foreshadowed in CF's ending.
  19. Obviously, Take-Mikazuchi will be playable before Jubei. Probably leftover data from CP. The engine seems kinda similar, so they probably just made a few tweaks.
  20. Thing is, you're forgetting about us. A lot of people in the west get the Japanese Digital Release, especially those who don't care about the story, so the Digital sales in this case deviate from the standard.
  21. You kidding? That was amazing, you could do the moves normally using the Wiimote arrows as the PKSH buttons and get the scrubs playing with the "Shake this and you get a special". But I probably only liked that because I've never dropped an aerial VT combo with Ky because I accidentally threw out a Stun Edge. In a more serious note, I wouldn't mind having BBCF out on the Wii U or the NX. Despite the fact that the probability of that happening is smaller than a Steam release in less than 6 months after the NA release.
  22. Not as fun as Terumi. No head stomps, no trolling, no maniacal laughter. 0/10. On a more gameplay related note, kinda too early to say. From what little footage I saw, he was a bit too momentum dependant, despite having some very interesting tools. I don't think he'll make high tier though. Obviously. No head stomps. = Trash Character.
  23. Come to think of it, those announcements were made around the time the characters were released. So it's likely that a possible Jubei announcement will be made when Mai drops. That way it actually keeps the hype train rolling, the only change is the character leading it. ... It feels weird actually being able to discuss a possible Jubei announcement with somewhat solid evidence instead of crazy theories and wishes.
  24. Aren't we all? Speaking of surprises, do we know anything about a Steam Release? I was trying to dodge spoilers but the first thing I saw was Susanoo, so I don't even care anymore.
