Woot, responses!
*Ahem*
I'll try answering in a speed basis rather than first come first serve, easier to answer stuff goes first.
So, since the yen is strong an import runs about $75 without shipping, shipping ranges from $2-$30, I imported from playasia which I had a coupon from a previous purchase for so it was $5 cheaper.
All chars have arcade and story modes.
There is actually NO confirmed DLC chars as of right now, all there is is logical speculation, if I were to bet I'd do it on Kokonoe being in but there is no concrete evidence on the matter.
Hakumen and Valkenhayn are buffed, both near top tier now, Haku gets meter faster, has better combos and corner carry, you can charge back C like forward C, his forward A has wallbound and his stomp is a low again. Valkenhayn cam combo after his shoulder tackle in the corner now, has greater pressure and can generally do a lot of crazy things he couldn't do before.
Tager is indeed buffed, he gets 50 meter from most of his normal combos now, he actually does damage outside of throws now, he can do his 720 distortion throw from his voltic charge move and he can do the sledge followup off of it too, he can combo after the sledge followup in the corner and he actually doesn't suck in this game, crazy, I know. He's like lower A tier. It's like they took all of Makoto's tiers and gave em to him, since Makoto is quite bad now, her and Tsubaki have been hit the hardest sadly since I like them both.
As for all the system changes beyond what I mentioned, counter assaults destroy one guard primer now, A moves can only be used 3 times back to back even when you whiff them. (so no AAAAA B C D combos any more, you need to hitconfirm noobs!
) Beyond that, there seems to be a more balanced style in place to help some of the zoners which were overwhelmed by rushdown chars. Chars like Lambda and Rachel have it a bit better now since hits and block causes more pushback in general.
If you have any more questions keep em coming!
GZGoten said:
have they changed the story mode or is it still the same visual novel style?
did Makoto get her own story?
I haven't played any BB since Calamity Trigger how easy is it to pick up?
is Tager still cheating?
did Noel get a buff? I loved her character design and moves but she did piss damage
is "Please Teach Me Bobbie Lady" still in?
Storymode won't ever change, it's BB's "thing". It's a bit more streamlined now so you know which is the canon ending and which is an official fanfic.
It's easy to pick up since there's a really big tutorial and a combo-teaching-mode called "challenge mode".
Tager never cheated and was the worst char in the game until now actually. He just seems like he does cause he has a few easy to do strong moves, Blazblue is not about easy to do strong moves, it's about long combos, if you don't know how to play then sure, he seems cheap but once you develop your skill level then he falls back.
Noel got a buff a game before this one where she was second best, now she's gotten nerfed but she's still pretty great, she can do like 5000 damage combos in the corner easily.
They have the booby teaching thing and also a part like it named "Please help me professor Kokonoe".
