BlazBlue: General thread.

...I'm a tad surprised nobody answered that yet. Anyway, the arcade release is slated for december, with no date announced for the console release other than a vague "2013". (IIRC)

And everyone and everything spaces it out as Chrono Phantasma, so just go with that.

I'd say two words, since that goes with the past theme naming of the games.

Also, taking some time to play as Jin, I've been able to hold my own against Very Hard Mu-12, but get annihilated by Very Hard Lambda-11. Is Lambda a good counter-pick to Jin or am I just really bad?

Dunno. Lambda is kinda like a lamb in close combat, I think. So I dunno.

Lambda makes Tager her bitch, I do know that.

Jin should be able to get in close fairly easily with 214C, and his ice swords can cancel out most projectiles in the game. Combine that with the fact that the only thing most competent Lambdas do is usually just play keep-away, and it shouldn't be that hard to punish her shenanigans.

Hey, just got back into Blazblue CS while waiting for its next release.

I say, attacking after dashes and air combos have a strange timing I'm not used to yet. I can't seem to do dash combos consistently other than easy mode C combos with Jin (Not his mash C) and even easier Platinum C combos. Does anyone have any tips, or am I just doing it wrong?

Also, Purple Jin or Pink Jin? Who is the fanciest?

Pink Jin. Because he is also a drink

Song of the Sirens

Gentlemen... BEHOLD!!!

Even young Makoto is shameless.

On a different note, I love the way Amane stands during his Astral. Very suave.

Song of the Sirens

I will just mention that Amane looks very rad.

Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.

He's definitely the third most stylish character. Or fourth. Depends on whether or not he beats out Valkenhayn.

Song of the Sirens

Ohhh~

Amane and Valk in a battle of suaveness? Hm, Fuedal Japan fasion vs elegant European wear (with a ribbon~)!

I cannot choose~

I mean, neither of them are as stylish as Relius and Hazama.

Song of the Sirens

They can fight for third place.

But what a fight it will be.

Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.

Hazama outstyles everyone.

So anyone think Young!Valk looks like Slayer?

This is a robbery. Give me all of your money and I'll kill you.

Not really? The hair...vaguely.

Otherwise he looks like...young Valkenheyn.

Hot Pink Hazama styles it the most. I mean, just everything is right about those clothes until he astrals bluh I hate that look.

I just noticed something from the new scans Noel's hair clips look just like the 'eyes' on Ragna's hand. I'm getting the impression that those may not be simple hairclips....

A corpse should be left well enough alone...

Maybe they will activate to allow her to change into Mu-12 at will?

And jeez, if not, Noel has been spending a lot of time around Ragna to start using his designs for hair clips.

also she calls them jormungandr because norse mythology is kewl.

Yeah I'm feelin' a bit cranky today bite me y'all >:E

Isn't jormungandr the name of Hazama's Overdrive?

"Shake the dust." - Anis Mojgani

Noel's got a Norse mythology theme going on with her names. It's no different from Jin's Japanese or Litchi's Mahjong hands.

I believe so, yes. There's another theme. Hazama's snakes.

Arakune's theme would be mathematics and stuff, Ragna's is hell, darkness, and other things "edgy", Tsubaki's would be Latin, Valkenhayn is Germanic as well as wolf themed, Makoto is space related, Platinum is magical girl themed, Rachel is flower themed, and that's all I can remember.

That leaves Mu, Lambda, Tager, Hakumen, and I think one or two others that I missed.

Tsubaki's theme is actually the Requiem Mass. Hakumen has Japanese, as well as flowers, albeit to a lesser extent. Carl has musical terminology.

Mu's are treasures, I think. The Japanese name for Blessed Mirror is 'Yata no Kagami'. Totsuka Blade refers to the Totsuka no Tsurugi

I think Mu's theme is also heavy-handed symbolism.

Oh yeah, forgot about Carl completely. Relius's theme is something scientific or life related, right? I remember you mentioning a move called Duo Bios, which, while not actually correct terminology, would probably be translated as Two Lives. Certainly would fit him.

As for Mu, symbolism and treasure fits her pretty well. What would Tager and Lambda's be then?
