You're probably getting hit out of jump startup or dash recovery, both of which you can cancel with FD. oh wow, you're exactly right. Old marvel habit to go up back to air block and not have to do high / low. I feel all kinds of dumb now hehehe Thanks! | ||

If you pre-ordered BlazBlue from EB Games, you will not receive a copy until the 29th! Meanwhile, Gamecrazy and Microplay seem to be getting enough copies to fill pre-orders. http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=197147&page=4 So basically, fuck EB Games.  | ||

Where is that HDR-quality netcode promised, anyway? To think that a small company specializing in poor emulation of retro games can claim the best console fighter netcode on the market is kind of sad. | ||

To think that a small company specializing in poor emulation of retro games can claim the best console fighter netcode on the market is kind of sad. The netcode we're talking about here isn't as simple as sending and receiving commands. The netcode needs to be able to "roll back" the game state if it predicts a player's input incorrectly. Now I don't actually know this for sure, but I imagine it's a lot easier to roll back a very simple game like HDR compared to a much more complex game like BlazBlue. I mean it's great that GGPO's netcode is fantastic, but don't assume that the same netcode will work for BlazBlue. | ||

I mean it's great that GGPO's netcode is fantastic, but don't assume that the same netcode will work for BlazBlue. Blazblue netcode doesn't do rollbacks. It implements the traditional input lag system where the game state on both sides remains synced the entire time, accomplished by delaying the execution of inputs until they can be executed simultaneously on both sides. Although this particular discussion is moot for Blazblue in particular, I'm not convinced that you can't implement good rollback netcode for a more complex game like Blazblue. (Granted, I know next to nothing about graphics APIs and implementations, so help me out.) As far as I know, all you have to do after reinterpreting the state of the game (new character positions and hitboxes, stagger/CH/etc. state, projectile location) given the new opponent inputs is draw the next frame with the updated information. e.g. rather than oppoent being in running animation, start animating frame 3 of 5B attack (then next frame, animate frame 4, then frame 5, etc.). You don't need to redraw the 3D backgrounds or anything, just things in the foremost sprite layer--this is where I'm unsure if the different layers are separable because I don't know how graphics are implemented, but layers can definitely be displayed separately in console emulators so I believe they can in general. Actually, going back to the previous 5B example, to make the game look more smooth you could animate in-between frames like running -> frame 1 of 5B -> frame 4 of 5B -> continue as normal rather than running -> frame 3 of 5B directly. But that doesn't involve much computation at all, and I don't believe it involves drawing any additional frames. It shouldn't stress the system any more than it is already stressed. I think in GGPO, however, the entire game has to be re-emulated according to inputs from the opponent because GGPO netcode is kind of a wrapper to a black box system (the entire emulator). But new console game devs have access to the entire game's code when processing network inputs, so they're actually at an advantage. This is a point that's been brought up by Ponder. The problem is probably lack of foresight in designing the game engine from the beginning that makes it difficult to accommodate rollback netcode later on, or simple lack of effort when designing the netplay. | ||

This also means a lot of the really high execution based combos will be harder to do. Same deal with certain moves done in reaction during block strings or after an IB. | ||

I ordered the game 100% on the idea that it would have good netplay lol. I knew i should have waited | ||

So I just checked TL an hour ago and remembered this game... It was 7:30 PM already so I decided to to visit EB Games/Future Shop. Turns out Future Shop doesn't even have the game yet and EB Games was already closed. Bah, I'll pick it up tomorrow, hopefully. I don't know why I'm picking up all these fighting games, since I still couldn't get a stick. So god damn hard to get "teh good ones" in Canada. | ||

I just won Ontario's first BlazBlue tournament. There were 10 entrants, 2 (incl. myself) who had played quite a bit on the arcade version, and 3 more who had some prior experience. Sadly, I think I would have gotten only 2nd or 3rd with my main, Taokaka. The guy who got 2nd, a Rachel user, crushed my Taokaka in casuals, and the guy who got 4th had been playing for only a few days but was fighting on-par with me in Taokaka mirrors. So I played to win by switching to Arakune and flowcharting: ![[image loading]](http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7084/arakuneflowchart.gif) My all-bees-no-combos Arakune lost just 1 game in the tournament. (Of course, the thing about his flowchart is, it's not very specific, and it pretty much outlines his whole gameplan: curse opponent, then pwn. That's just how he's played: it's not like I won with a Ken flowchart or anything.) Oh by the way, I got last place in SF4.  To be honest, I actually kind of like how Arakune's execution barrier is very low if you don't do any combos. You just have to play smart and have other good skills, like blocking and adapting. He's still pretty bullshit, though. Edit: match vids from the tournament can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=EAF3096CB54896E5 | ||
