I just bought the first 30 minutes ago (only came out here 3 months ago).

I think il give the 2nd a miss like i did with SSFIV and wait for the one after.

Never got into fighters so I'll be passing it up. My cousin is getting it day one but he buys everything so not sure if its worth it or not.

You sure? We only got the first one a few months ago. Both games in the same year seems a bit silly.

Moi.Though I think I'm gonna give , or sell the first I don't know , I think it's one of those games that gets useless after the sequel is released.Anybody keeping their calamity trigger copies after getting CS?

I'm getting it, but it's not my most hyped fighter right now.

KOFXIII and Arcana Heart 3 are top priority.

I just don't think you gave the game a chance.

Do you know how to zone? Did you learn frame advantages and disadvantages? Did you learn how to use meaty attacks? Did you learn any block strings? Any cross-ups?

Just saying, you need to give a game a chance before passing it off.

Uh....LOL....what is it like? Is it in the same difficulty curve as SF4? Or is it like TK6, easy to get into, hard to master - and you won't need a arcade stick.

Those things are for almost all fighting games, like basics.. I suggest watching this, and the other videos in the series, it applies to street fighter and as I said almost every other 2D fighter.

8) Piece of cake. My Tsubaki to CS shall be what my Ibuki is to SSFIV...BEAST!!!

Blazblue is kinda-sorta easy to get into, but takes a LOT of time to master. You're going to have to be dedicated if you want to keep up with the crowd so you don't get crushed...a few tricks will only get you so far.

I think it's a hell of a lot deeper compared to other fighters. There's just so many variables in play that you have to think about while fighting, and so much to master.

From what I have heard and seen, as I have not played the original (I was waiting for something like CS), is that the game has a above average learning curve. It's certainly less than something like Virtua Fighter or Guilty Gear but it's more than the average fighter.

Right now the battle system has not evolved to the state of Guilty Gears (that's a common complaint of the game) so it will be easier to get into I assume.

He's actually only B tier if I recall.

Nevermind just checked, he's A tier, along with Lambda, Taokaka, Carl and Hakumen.

S tier is Ragna, Litchi and Bang.

I don't know. If I do it will probably be after it's been out for a while. I lack online playability, which adds much much more to Blazblue or any fighting game. I don't know if I'll get a PS3 at some point or not (which I'm assuming would be a better console for BB when it comes to controls).I'm lacking money and there are other games I'd rather get, as well.

I'm in a complicated situation here. :/

I'm also surprised Lambda is called an A tier character.

P.S. Any PS3 peep can add me, I'm "Drestro2", I'll be getting BBCS day one.. But I'll be practicing for a while.

I'm getting it, i missed the first one but i keep hearing a lot of great things about this game, and since SSFIV couldn't keep my attention for that much time i'm looking forward to a new fighter, besides, it would be good to keep me bussy while i'm waiting for KOF XIII.

WTH, does all this tier talk mean? LOLicygangsta

A term used by Fighting Game players to indicate a quality level of characters in a game. "Top Tier," for example, refers the the best characters in the game. Games are usually divided into multiple Tiers, the higher ones being where the best characters are, and the bottom ones being where the characters who stand less or little chance are.

Tiers are generally opinionated though.

I had a lot of fun with AH2, but it was never one of my favorites, i always prefered KOF, SF and Melty Blood.

They nerfed his damage slightly, but he's still beastly, his Belial Edge is insane. Tsubaki is B. Rachel and Tager are C.

They nerfed his damage slightly, but he's still beastly, his Belial Edge is insane. Tsubaki is B. Rachel and Tager are C.siLVURcross

Hmm things have changed a bit since I list checked the tier list.. I remember Rachel and Noel being the absolute worst.
