But Ibuki is the best.

I dont even go for vortex..because Im very inconsistent when I do. I mainly go for resets, resets, resets.

Since everyone plays Ken/Ryu it's fun to have a character who has a ton of options against fireball spam.

Its also fun when I manage to get dizzies when people dont know how to punish the cr.HK stun reset loop.
Yeah, that's a lot of why I like Ibuki: she just feels like she's got a full toybox to play with. She doesn't have 1 or 2 ways around fireballs, she's got a ton and your opponent is always left guessing which you'll use :D

I got hatemail for Ibuki on day 1 of Super or something lol
Same. First one was from a Zangief who was furious that I refused to just stand there and let him piledrive me. For an extra bonus he ragequit the match in the 2nd round before sending me the mail :P
 
Focus Attack by itself negatively impacts the one hit poke mid range game because someone can take a bet with a Focus Attack, take a button for a counter then get a full combo off of a crumple.

Focus Attack tied to Ultra meant that you could absorb fireballs to build up Ultra meter which kinda killed the full screen fireball game.

Those are my qualms with it. I'm happy that it gives players a tool against moves like Abel's step kick but every character having dash cancellable armored move has no place in a game about controlling space on the ground.

One of the better things about SFxT was simply not having to deal with players focus fishing in the neutral.
 
Looks like rising thunder codes are now being sent out for people to share.

Guess they made their way through most of the people that signed up and their servers aren't holes in the ground or something.
 
In SF4 it was the combination of auto block allowing you to mash shoryuken during blockstrings and then being able to make that SRK safe (and in most cases before ultra making it plus on block)

1. basically every game except third strike has autoguard (you cannot 'stop' blocking while in blockstun), and that's because they put in a red parry mechanic.

2. dp FADC was always stupid but it was never plus on block for anyone except certain hits of sakura's ex sho, it was usually -1f for most characters.

the real issue is huge reversal windows and very easy input shortcuts AND being able to make it safe AND it leading to fat, round-ending damage.
 
Every time I play bbcpe it just reminds me of why I prefer it over GG at this point. GG is still fun though.

Currently I'm having more fun with GG at the moment, mainly because I've become pretty decent with Ky, where as with BBCPE I need to put in some significant work in order to become good with anyone other than Ragna (because his core play has remained the same since CT and CS where he was my main).

I know it's not going to happen anytime soon but I'd love to see Blazblue rendered in the same 3D style as GGXrd. Maybe after Central Fiction (since that's supposed to be the end of the story I think).

dude. just sit in training mode for an hour or two and practice the vortex. it's so simple. go for lk if they don't late get up; or go for kuni if you see "tech" under their name.
 
Didn't arcsys say they wanna work on a new ip? Would be psyched for that as it's been a while.

Hope they do something slightly different than the standard arcsys suite of mechanics.

Was battle fantasia any good?
 
Tokido played like ass against Xiaohai in the runback and he choked a 2-0 lead against Xian. Seems like Xian's comeback just deflated him.
 
Got my Rising Thunder key, I haven't played a fighting game on a keyboard since like 2003

I can't wrap my head around using buttons for specials. Is there a comprehensive source of info for the game? I have no idea what the mechanics are
 
I cant play rising thunder because for some reason I never updated my pc past crappy windows vista LOL Woops :P
