Thanks a lot bro, this is a lot easier to follow than just going in blindly.

As long as you don't fall into the horrible pit of Musou Senshouzan spammers that other Jin's do then I'll still love you.

As for me, I actually use the official BlazBlue fighting stick.

[Westlo]

Don't worry Tamad, I'm following this handy guide.

[Tamad]

Even this would have been more acceptable. You bad bad man.

Another interesting question. We all know which character we like playing as now, but for anyone who has dived into story and arcade mode (everyone I hope), which character(s) do you like personality wise? Taokaka, Noel, and Ragna are my top three. Taokaka makes everything fun with just her presence, I'm a complete sucker for Noel's overexertion of cuteness, and Ragna's "asshole but not really an asshole" attitude makes me laugh. Rachel and Bang are also good picks.

At the moment there's none i dislike at all, though personally favorites have to be Ragna, Taokaka and Noel. Ragna's personality is completely the same as Gintoki from Gintama, it makes me laugh everytime he speaks. Does help that they're both voiced by Tomokazu Sugita, and he uses the exact same voice for both of them.

I'm really warming up to Taokaka. She could become my main character at this rate.

[GuidoHunter_Toki]

Personality wise I like Ragna, Noel, and Rachel. Rachel reminds me too much of Eva from the manga Negima to not like her, Ragna I like for( as Tamad said) his "asshole but not really an asshole" attitude, and Noel for her all around cuteness.

[C.A.]

My favourites would be Rachel, Tao, Noel and Bang.

Rachel is my main because she is a Gothic Lolita loli vampire oujo-sama with godly powers, basically a genderbent Slayer. They go everywhere they like and do what they want with anyone.

Tao is loved because she's hilarious, plus she calls Litchi 'chichi no onna' lol

Noel is just too moe, she fires moe weapons of mass destruction. Her voice actress is just super cute, she gets played around by Sugita on the Blazblue radio, which you can watch on Niconico. Because her name is Kondou, Sugita or rather Ragna calls Noel 'Condom' all the time. Condom has become her nickname ever since, she can't escape the name anymore. Kanako Koudou, I hope she gets into some anime roles quick.

Rider Bang, he is the embodiment of hotblooded passion and the spirit of justice. Remember the word 'nekketsu' or 'hotbloodedness'. When people say 'GAR', its always referring to what Japanese call 'nekketsu'. Its a shame that the word 'moe' is recognised in western internets, but few know the word 'nekketsu'.

I personally use a Soul Calibur Hori Stick which works well. It has been about a year and I haven't had any problems.
I also have a SFIV Ryu Fightpad which is cheaper than a stick and much easier to use when not at home.

There's a reason why Bang has a theme song by JAM Project, and you just stated it.

Same, but include v-13, just because I can't resist MS girl XD.
Rachel is instant pick, so no need for further reason. Tao is, well, a cat girl, fun to use, and noisy. Noel just because she's cute, and using guns.

Bang....I love seeing a "WTF!" face my friends made when I'm be able to active his "Hyper" mode, with song .

I know this is just a fanart, let me live in my dream

[Kyero Fox]

I use pretty much everyone, but my favorite person to use is Ragna.

I was thinking of a OC for Blazblue, and I want some of your opinions.

Name: Ryuuya
Age: 22
Gender: Male

His weapons are his feat, he has Blades on his feet and hands. His fighting style is fast or slow depending on which Personality he's on. He has Two personalities, One is Kind and sorta like Vash from Trigun, His other personality is a Psycotic death lover who seaks fights... He's kinda like Hollow Ichigo. His personality switches from time to time in fights from Slow and careful to Crazy and fast.

"Not really, I kinda get sick if I see blood" - "I'm gonna stain the floor with your insides, hahaha!"

Ive been thinking of his Story and so far the best idea was that he is hired by Valkynihn to make sure Rachel doesnt get into any danger.

Let me know what you guys think.

Well, the console port is being marketed as "VN + FIG" in Japan. And they just left it that way for the English release.

PS :- Arakune goes around calling everyone "Damn Lolicon Bastard" during his Astral Heat. It's not really a surprise when you consider what he turn himself for the Astral Finish in the first place.

Haven't used his Astral Heat yet, but that's pretty funny.

Story mode was somewhat disappointing. Despite the VN set-up and full voice acting and true ending and all that, it was still fundamentally a fighting game story (ie: nothing really happens between the beginning and the end). We got a lot of questions, but very few answers, presumably because fighting games are obligated to preserve the status quo for as long as is humanly possible. And of course a big juicy sequel hook.

[Kid Ying]

Finally my copy arrived! What can i say? It's AWESOME. I'm going to add everyone in the group now. It's funny, cause for me, the characters that were most difficult for me to play are the ones i want, Rachel and Carl, and characters that had no impression to me, ended being really good, like Arakune and Litch. In fact, Arakune is so good that he already is my second main, cause i didn't like Carl to say the least. Rachel is awesome, thought, but i need a lot of training to get her in full potential.

Okay, I thought there is something else. If that's the case, then I get it .
Being Sankaku's usual visitor has its benefit .

The tournament stick has a lot of good reviews, but 149 USD for a controller for one specific game.. I'm not so sure. Although it might not be as good I might just get the HRAP.

By the way, for anyone who beat arcade mode...

Spoiler:

When you fight V 13 at the last match, is that her in boss mode? or just normal?
