What's the benefit of ranked match anyway?
If it's just for ranking.....I see it's worthless.

[Kid Ying]

Well, besides the ranking, there's a trophy if you win a couple of matches in a row without losing, but that's pretty much what is it. The ranking and nothing else.

[MakubeX2]

You get bragging rights online and offline.

On a side note, I'm pretty sucky st this game. Stuck at level 2, and 10% winning. I do want to get better so as to give myself an excuse at buying that expensive Arcade Stick.

Any Rachel players here?

I've been watching videos and reading Dustloop the whole day when I'm not playing the game. I haven't settled the internet connection yet so I've been playing against the computer. I've also broken my budget so I didn't get an arcade stick.

[Kyero Fox]

I find the Dpad easyer to use for everyone I'm prob just used to it from PS1. anyways I tried playin as Rachel, but shes just not my type(Combat) giggity, I'm more of a close and personal fighter.



anyone know where i can download the opening song? its so epic >< i needz it for a Music Video im gonna be making for my Paladin oh FFXIV

I was a Slayer player and no one in Blazblue plays like him, but I had my eyes on Rachel ever since she was revealed, so I'll just play as her. I watch videos so I can visualise her attacks and get used to her style, needs alot of practice though.

I'm good at the dpad, actually more used to it than the arcade stick. But after getting into Guilty Gear, Fate Unlimited Codes and other fighters, I learn that there are stuff you can only execute with the arcade stick.

Characters like Carl, you'll never be able to pull him off as well as an arcade stick player. Even for Rachel, I had to set the Drive button to R1, so that I can use her Drive effectively. Her C,C and 6C is always coupled with D, her j.C/j.2C as well. I cannot imagine pressing X and O, releasing either or pressing both all the while with a single thumb lol.

Using a single thumb can never work for some of these characters.

Hmmm? No lol, Drive is the X button.

Rachel's combos involve pressing lots of X and Os simultaneously or successively. Her Drive, Sylphide is the wind that causes her projectiles and the players to be blown around. Alot of her moves depends on pressing X while doing the combos, I have to set the Drive button, which is default X, to R1. So I can use the drive with my index finger while simultaneously pressing other inputs with my thumb.

[Kyero Fox]

oh my bad, I thought you ment Special Drives, I was totally out of it when i read your post

glad you don't use Easy Specials.

Goddamit. I don't think i can pull that off with the sixaxis.

I Hope that someday, Aksys will make some new charas for download including an Slayer type(better, put him in the game! He's immortal, so there's always an excuse, hehe). I would be sooo happy.

[GuidoHunter_Toki]

Rachel is my main along with Ragna and Noel. I love the way Rachel plays. She is really good for zoning and has so many tools at her disposal. The use of the wind can make for some really cool combos.

[Duo Maxwell]

I smell a Rachel fanclub in animesuki. Thought I'm alone in this .

[Bonzo]

Who know about a x360 pal version?
I'm enough sure the american will be not region free...

Slayer and his wife, are the most powerful characters that ever existed in any fighting game. They are virtually indestructible omnipotent gods.

@GuidoHunter_Toki: lol we're using the same characters, though I may be dropping Ragna for Bang.

Bang Install is too awesome and his Astral Heat is the embodiment of the hotblooded spirit of justice itself.

獅子神忍法・熱血最終奥義・「究極萬駆」
Shishigami Ninpo - Nekketsu Saishu Ougi - "Kyukyoku Bangu"
Lion God Ninja Technique - Hotblooded Final Secret - "Ultimate Bang" (Bangu actually means Ten Thousand Sprint)

@Duo: I claimed Rachel all the way back in page 3 of the thread

But I still think Noel is more moe, I die everytime she takes off her beret.

[Duo Maxwell]

Geez....I've grown more and more impatient. My copy sure takes it time arriving here.....
And I thought I can calm myself by watching Rachel's vid. Guess what? I was wrong.

[Xion Valkyrie]

Combos are hard >.>

Looks like mucho more hours in training mode are needed.

Haven't touched single player yet.

I've been watching videos since the games release day, so yeah, doesn't help at all. I'm beating myself up checking this thread every few hours, and reading people talk about it.

That's why i don't see any video at all. Just seeing Sonofheaven online playing already makes me crazy, hehe.

[Westlo]

I need to give Racheal and Arakune a decent tryout before settling on my main, but they will really have to click with me to drop V-13 for them. Got to Rank 11 effortlessly with V-13 and double perfected a rank 20 tager lol.

Also flowchart time!
