In my opinion, online isn't that great of an experience, since most of the players tend to be scrubby anyways. They usually spam or have absolutely no idea what they're doing. There are some good players though; and if you really want the better online experience, find people on #BlazBlue or something and ask them if they want a game or two.
I personally think you should try to stay with offline competition as much as possible, especially with taokaka's toughest combos, you definitely wouldn't want to ruin your timing for those.
Though you do have a point about matchup experience, since some characters may not even be played in your local area. Pretty hard finding Carls online though lol.

Personally, based on one day's experience, I've been pleasantly surprised with the skill level online. Of course, I was aiming for games with people who are level 30+, and almost never played with anyone under level 20.
In one day, I encountered several Nus, an Arakune, a Noel, and probably a Jin who knew what they were doing.
So those little connection icons that appear beside their names when you go to Custom Match: is it blue = bad and red = good? At the time, I thought it was the other way around, lol. T_T
|
Red is supposedly okay, blue is terrible, I usually get connections of yellow, blue, or purple :/.
Man I guess my luck really sucks if I usually play scrubs all the time at lvl 30+ :/.

ordered the LE off Newegg for the PS3 (10 minutes after I ordered it went out of stock haha) this morning!
|
Is BlazBlue's community probably larger on PS3? I'm seriously thinking of buying a console soon so I'd like to know.

ggs KingKosi,
I'm starting to get the hang of my stick but I'm still making way too many mistakes lol I think your best character is Noel from what I've seen. Practice her if you want to main her :D
let's replay soon! It's pretty cool to play with TLers
|
I'm back in Austin and might jump on some matches with TL peeps this week, hit me up on this thread or add me on XBL if you want games~

played some games with kingkosi this weekend, definitely looking for more tl people. hit me up (my name should be in the OP) dont be afraid to shoot me a message if i'm playing something else, bb is definitely my preferred game right now, and i'll probably ditch my other friends for a few good games.

I am going to the store to pick this game up tonight. My PSN name is Khaymus so if you could add me to the list I would love to fight a few of you sometime. I'm relatively new to the fighting genre so I guess you can say I am a scrub, but I have been playing a few hours at a friend's house and have started to pick it up.
|
Whereabouts in the US do you live? Some people don't like to play EC to WC and vice versa due to lag etc which is why I ask.
|
Hey, Im joining the ranks of people talking about how I just got this game, I suck at it and such.
That being said i'm thatnerdkid on PSN and Im in illinois.
ill be happy to play anyone who wants to.
I should be on all night tonight.
|
I am on the EC. Michigan to be exact
|
Sung_moon, Trumpet, etc, you guys integrate these 2 ;o I'm feeling lazy tonightttt
|
First impression of the game (first night playing online)
FUCK gun bitch.
I love getting killed in two combos that are unstoppable.
PS
FUCK spider/blob guy that has shit flying everywhere. I dont even know what is hitting me...

omg fatmatt I'm in Illinois too! which city do you live in? I'll add you tomorrow and we can get some games in.
and Rachel vs Nu seems so hard. I can't seem to get in without taking A LOT of damage. I've read you should get a pumpkin out and use wind to try to get in but I hardly have time to even get the pumpkin because of constant swords coming out of thin air. I also use j.2cd and hope I get lucky so I can try to pressure. hoping she falls for something so I can start up a wake up game. but even then she can burst out of it and its back to mid/full screen again.
I guess I just have to be patient and learn to block the swords while my wind meter charges and try to find the right moment like 2 or 3 times a round.

anyone can flame me on this but imo nu vs everyone except nu i think is favored towards her haha.
iunno how rachel plays against her but really its just pay attention to the sword strings and watch out since some of them are overhead or low blockable. nothign else i can add since im still scrub hehe
ragna vs nu seems straightforward enough
edit: ill add u newer guys just coming in on the forum for the PSN. my PSN is sung_moon
