    Azrael:

    New attack Panzer Strike. He jumps diagonally into the air, then rapidly slams down to the ground. Has invincibility frames at start-up, and different hitboxes for the ascending and descending portions of the move. If opponent blocks the descending portion, Azrael has frame advantage.

    This is what I'm referring to.

     

    I really hope the invincibility is head or upper body only.

    blazblue has always been conscious about its anime references (meaning they are all quite intentional), just look at the palletes that we keep getting. Hibiki's swords is just the most obvious SnK reference, he is literally a pallete swap from looking exactly like he came out of that anime:

     

    halfcloak worn on top of military uniform: check

    haircut that is really similar to Armin's: check (though his style and hair color also brings Mikasa to mind)

    huge and extremely impractical sword scabbard in an almost rectangle shape: check

    he is here to kill all the titans gigants

     

     

    In general, the whole game is simply a big mash-up of everything that is popular, and usually trendy, in japanese anime/vg culture. From bang's "believe in me who believes in you" line, to ragna's bounty and red jacket (straight up trigun references) and and hakumen's zero cs voice and Izayoi's gundam stuff. Gaogaigar seems to be an anime that Mori really likes, as you can find bits of it anywhere sector-seven related (genesic emerald tager buster, tager's gaogaigar pallete, hakumen's csex and cp Guy Sishioh palletes, Kokonoe's broken magnum bunker, the list goes on).

     

    It doesn't even stop at the references. The game is full of trope lampshadings and sports an all-star voice actor cast. Blazblue wouldn't be the same without all this.

    If anyone's doubting the amount of references in BlazBlue, just look at the different achievements over the different iterations.

    Hazama's "Fangs for the memories" achievement, Ragna's "Nanomachines, Son" achievement, the list goes on.

    It's part of its charm, in my opinion.

    hmmm, you think so? I kind of felt like this was a move to make it closer to GG since it also actively rewards you for being offensive in general. Guess we need more details though. Personally, I'm not too fond of the idea but I'll wait to hear more about it.

    BB already rewards offensive play with chip damage and corner carry. You also gain more meter when going on the offensive compared to being on the defensive. (Unless you IB every single hit, I guess.)

    The dream is dead.

     

    So on that note. What do you all do to avoid getting conditioned in a match? Or is it just a matter of "he's better than me so he's going to push me around, that's all there is to it until I get better than him."

    By "Conditioned", I'm assuming you mean that you're playing into your opponents hand, IE them making perfect reads against you because of something that happened earlier in the match? If so, I just change my tactics drastically as soon as I notice. Sometimes it blows up in my face if I make wrong changes, sometimes I get some amazing reads out of it.

    Making good reads is literally the only reason I play these games. It's such a satisfying feeling.

     

    (EG: "My opponent thinks I'll do X, so I'll do Y instead.")

    GGs to everyone I fought yesterday, especially Jees. Your Jin's great as always, as is your Haku-Men.

    Ragna's a lot of fun, I dunno why I never tried to get good with him in this version.

     

     

    Are there any not so pro European players around? Just picked up CPE but can't find much in the way of lobbies online :/

    I'll take you on. I'm pretty decent, but not amazing.
