Sony BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Announced

Actually, they do.

Somebody once did a Cover/Remix of the Six Heroes theme, and it got took down, that person had to fight it back with all that it got with one of ArcSys representatives to get permission to upload it again (And this is all EVEN THOUGH it was his own version of the theme and not the real thing).

I though it used to be a thing because Yuhki from Galneryus worked on the remixes, but I now I see they are clearly trying to not let anyone upload anything BB apart from matches/Combo Videos/Anything related to actual fighting. Music, Story (I know some videos have slipped them in this department but they have been purging left and right NicoVideo apparently), EVEN when the ChronoPhantasma announcement trailer came out they deleted anyone else's but Famitsu's trailer (Or it was their own channel's? I forgot. You get me). And this all happened since the announcement of ChronoPhantasma (But I THINK we can go back if my memory doesn't fails me to them purging Extend's Story videos)...

Not saying they are in the right or wrong for doing that, I'm just... Stating what's happened from my own visual experience and what I saw from Dustloop. Though it makes me wonder if doing all of this is any good for them or their reputation.

:l

BUT YEAH, ON ANOTHER NEWS, KOKONOE IS OUT:

ENJOY YOUR DISC-LOCKED CONTENT BECAUSE SHE'S INDEED ON THE DISC ALREADY FINISHED.

 

Found something funny the other day, thought I'd share:

Spoiler: I've yet to meet man that can outsmart

Oh, I just meant all of the new themes from the game seem to be surviving. Longer, at least. I've seen The Tyrant, Black Aggression, Bang!Bang!BigBang!, all that stuff on Youtube already, and it seems to survive the odd purge wave. I guess it's because some of it was released early? Eh, either way a friend of mine found a full gamerip (thx bunches Jay <3), so I'll live.

Oh yeah, they've almost always taken down story and arcade videos. Which is really annoying because when I want to discuss them with friends, I have no references to turn to; I either have to play the whole damn thing again to find what I was talking about, or hope there's a pertinent summary or screenshots somewhere.

Of course it's not, but no game company on the planet seems to understand that their damage control is causing more damage.

...Aaaand so is that. I suspected as much from the gameplay videos, and the fact people have already gotten their hands on her theme. It's unfortunate but it's a strike against a company that doesn't have many strikes yet.

 

I know this thread is a double post factory already but I GOT KOKONOE AND SHE'S HILARIOUS

Everyone's already saying she's gonna be hard banned at tournaments, she's got everything

Normals are great, threat range is great, mobility is great, damage is Haku-men sized, some specials draw enemies towards them, others are awesome for pressure strings, one of her supers is a giant Tagerbot chest beam that fills up the screen

It's frightening

That and her run is a scooter, her backpedal is her givin' you the sexylegs "c'mere cutie" pose, and for her victory poses she either eats tastee chipz while taunting you, rides off on a rocket segway, or tries to call Tager and can't get through

Her scripted Arcade fights are against Arakune, Bullet, Tager, and Terumi for her boss. She also comes with the same sorts of trophies as Terumi: Beat her Arcade, clear 20 challenges, and the special one: Deal 10k with her Overdrive super. Still working out how to do that.

 

From Dustloop's Wiki:

Armament No01
[Senmetsu Choudokyuu Golden Tager]
2363214C, j.2363214C

Damage: 5510-13110 (5176 mid-air)

-Damage can be increased by holding C and rotating the stick. Can't charge aerial version.
-Takes 7 360's to reach maximum damage.

GET READY TO CHURN THAT BUTTER.

And yeah, I've heard a lot of complaints against her, she also has an unblockeable setup which only selected characters can get out (Like for example, Carl with Vivace, Valkenhayn with Sturm Wolf, Terumi with Jakyou Messenga/The charge Super), or otherwise the only way out is Burst. Said unblockeable setup leads to 7K damage if 25 extra meter are burnt:

But yeah, that burns 75 Meter in total, and unless her match-ups are pure 9-1s I don't see her getting banned anytime soon.

 

Oh yeah I did it earlier today lol thx for the info though <3

I guess, but now I'm afraid we're gonna have a CT situation where top 8s will be full of Haku-mens and Kokonuts. I guess it's unfounded until everyone's spent time playing her though.

 

I understand completely to be honest, after watching Persona 4 Arena be an Aigis, Chie and Mitsuru-fest, I wouldn't want anything like that to happen to any other game. Period.

And there's a good heap of info saying most of Kokonoe's neutral is very scary (Very good normals outside of the obviously-slow ones, 3C vacuums in and is barely unsafe, Attract + Icegun is amazingly lols, etc). Feel free to correct me on that though, it's all stuff I keep hearing from forums and stuff given her frame data isn't there yet.

And yeah, her combos and setups are really good, but quoting a gaming news site on another character "Planner Kyohei Kato jokes that Kagura might be even be a little too powerful, but as long as Hakumen and his overpowered combos are around, everything will work out fine."

So yeah, even if some characters are really good compared to others, I don't really see Kokonoe or even HakuMen getting fixed unless a ChronoPhantasma 2 situation happens. And ASW aren't as patch-happy like let's say... NetherRealm Studios or even Capcom. They don't fix characters individually or crumble that easily to the masses's collective complaining (As fundamentally-right as it is). Or they plain don't care until the next version of the game.

Plus there's the fact they are currently working on two games right now (Persona 4 Ultimax and Guilty Gear Xrd), so their teams might be not be able to do a full rebalance.

So yeah, got to get used to it. :l

But yeah, on another news, we HakuMen now:

 

Of course, a Shabrys made it to loser's at EVO and would've been in grands if not for one incredibly vital choke. Which then LordKnight went on to embarrass our entire country by being one continuous choke against Yume :'D He was getting pressured while Orgia was on cooldown, that doesn't happen. But yeah the tiers were pretty ineffable in that one. I take pride in saying that it's never as bad as it used to be, though.

Yeah no Kokonut's AMENTAL. Like nobody knows what ArcSys was thinking.

Granted, I'm not against that at all, because look at Brawl: Everybody flipped out and banned Meta Knight for the longest time, then the Japanese came over and said "Why isn't Olimar S+++ tier?" and showed us the magick and now the game is totally different. Well. Also dead. But. :v Point bein', a patch never comes too late as far as I'm concerned.

omg so sexeeee <3

 

LIVE AGAIN.

So, English console release has been out, 1.1's been live. I haven't dug deep into the changes but I know Azrael got nothing but buffs so I'm happy. I won the lottery! :'D Dash cross-up TCL, TIGER COMES OUT BEFORE I EVEN REAPPEAR. WELCOME TO THE FEEDING GROUND.

Also a friend vehemently disagrees with me but I rather enjoyed the story. Some decisions were pretty rash but I don't think we know the whole story yet either. Especially concerning Terumi's true identity and the full extent of his powers. And maybe the original writing wasn't as strong but the ADR really hammers certain scenes home this time 'round, especially anything to do with Ragna. Seitz has given possibly his best performance yet.
