I bet they can cure STDs with Ars Magus in the future so I'm sure she's clean.
James Price
NU!
Angel Ortiz
If they can cure STDS why couldn't they fix Jin?
Brody Ortiz
You're going to buy our game on Tuesday, right /blaz/?
Hudson Rogers
>Guymam dropped Naoto for Mai Who do I watch now?
Easton Edwards
There's still Kamikaze
Levi Gray
Playable Kajun when? All of Remix Heart should be playable; also they should get a versus theme.
Caleb Taylor
Because Jin's injury is magic power overuse based, and STD are natural
Jason Morales
We can't fix magic based injuries with magic?
Jose Myers
I miss the multicharacter OPs and not this fgg waifu stuff
Mason Sullivan
Tsubaki is a bitch.
Landon Evans
Noel is a boy
Asher Mitchell
Makoto is a skank
Benjamin Johnson
Why don't they add BB avatars to the NA PSN store?
Wyatt Ortiz
>we take dub from gajin >we make gajin buy two version AND es >we delay gajin version >gajin expect avatars and I rafff
Eli Allen
WHEN YOU DIE
Evan Kelly
It's ogre. Mai is the last character being added.
Logan Scott
How would you feel if the NA version was full of memes
Ryan Morgan
what does that even mean
Austin Green
Like if the translation was like Borderlands 2
Jonathan Russell
Shiori is a lesbian
Luis Peterson
>Tfw Avatars on the EU store
Josiah Moore
Who?
Austin Bell
are you seriously gonna make me wait until december
John Wright
There already are a bunch of jokes so it doesn't seem weird.
Hunter Martin
Kajun is a nerd.
Hunter Diaz
Jubei will be out in November. November 2200.
Isaiah Gonzalez
>tfw you'll never fuck Jubei while forcing Nine to watch
Julian Sanchez
Hope you like kunzite.
Cooper Reyes
Don't worry, Nine auto pilots so when I see her finish the spell I'll just jump back
Camden Walker
Kept you waitin huh...
Robert Gutierrez
i'll be dead or too old to fuck him then god damnit
Joshua Perez
Is Makoto the mascot character of Blazblue? She seems to be the most well known female.
Owen Parker
God I hope not.
Colton King
Makoto and Taokaka are probably the most known in the west.
Eli Peterson
>Guys Ragna >Girls Noel >Villains Hazama/Terumi
Liam Martin
No that's Noel.
You got a problem with squirrel tits m8?
Hunter Hill
Hakumang is
Landon Gomez
Are the robutts good for beginners???
Ian Ward
When your series mascot is some half naked slut it kind of hurts the integrity of the game you know?
Anthony Sullivan
Alpha never.
Brandon Thompson
>blazblue >having integrity
Anyone that gets triggered by anime tits already avoids the game anyway so who cares?
Nathaniel Sanchez
Susanoo terumi murdering all the makotofags, maifags and secondaryfags in a cutscene when?
Bentley Long
I guess so. I don't they have any super tough execution barriers.
Daniel Anderson
>nu sprite without her visor playable never They cold have at least done that to make her and Lambda different, different astrals never too
Noah Wood
this
calm down edgelord and focus on trying not to get beat by any makotofags, maifags and secondaries
Aiden Robinson
I hope Mai gets this in the next balance patch.
Henry Robinson
>calm down edgelord and focus on trying not to get beat by any makotofags, maifags and secondaries come on, i'm not that bad.
Nolan Wright
Because as a whole, it hurts the game. I'll give you an example, Queens Blade, now battle books are pretty fun to play, but if you ask the average QB fan what a battle book was, they wouldn't be able to tell you. The anime has vastly overshadowed the game, leaving the game and solid core mechanics of it in the dust, and the series as a whole just about biganime tiddeeees. Same way with how they're many waifufags in BB who don't even play the games.
I'm just saying, if you were to ask a person about BB would you rather them say "Oh you mean that thing with the half naked squirrel chick" or "Oh you mean that fighting game?"
Angel Brown
Who knows man, one of them might surprise you
Easton Brooks
>Mai with infinite blockstrings AND a coup droit that guard breaks YES
Benjamin Nelson
>it hurts the game What you mean to say is that they actually know their audience and give them what they want, instead of pandering to people who were going to shy away from the games regardless.
Oliver Jenkins
...
Jack Collins
>give them what they want But Makoto is one of the most irrelevant characters in the game, and contributes next to nothing. She's kinda just there and doesn't play any type of roll.
Easton Reyes
I'm talking about in terms of themes and designs. People who buy the games very much do not mind and likely even prefer fanservice. Removing or neglecting such things just to make it "have some integrity" wouldn't benefit them in any way.
Giving the game a slightly better image to the public doesn't mean anything when the things you're toning down are still there. All it means is that you're half-assing aspects of the game which actually makes it sell just to please people who don't buy it in the first place.
Jonathan Clark
>implying they want story relevance Reading comprehension, do you know anything about that?
Camden Martinez
I just remembered the maifags that said she'll be oh so important and she'll "drive hazama back"
Luke Watson
I'm pretty sure the people who would do shit like buy the japanese console version, or the HK version, or who play in arcades would give two shits about fanservice, the niggas with thousands of matches who attend tournaments and care about the -game- are the target audience.
Camden Moore
The only people I remember saying that Mai would be important were her haters who were claiming that Mai would pull a Celica and hijack CF.
Aiden Sullivan
Well I don't frequent this thread much to see them anyways. I do know what she's about and still will play her. She scratches that dragoon itch too well to ignore.
Aiden Long
YOUR game?
Sebastian Garcia
Nu isn't. Lambda is pretty easy. Mu is in the middle.
Austin Hill
Is that so? Then why does ArcSys make products such as this one?
Oliver Bell
>the niggas with thousands of matches who attend tournaments They are part of the targetted audience, but I'm pretty sure the fact that they have a fuckton of merchandising for the female characters, and a massive focus on story to the point where a large part of the resources go into it should clue you in on what type of audience BlazBlue has.
Competing in arcades and liking fanservice and stuff are not exclusive in the slightest, in fact some of the biggest arcades are located in Akihabara and other districts which have such culture surrounding them. Hell, if you want a more direct example, Zexo, the top Azrael in the arcades, talked about how his room was filled with Mai merch and posters.
Whether you like it or not, fanservice is a major selling point, hence why they keep designing characters that have major appeal in that area. They're not doing it to spite their playerbase, because their playerbase consists specifically of that.
No idea why the fuck you're even mentioning the HK version when their primary audience is fucking japanese.
Mason Green
Why was GG grandfinals at arc revo a single match?
Thomas Perry
...
Matthew Diaz
Glad she's dead.
Eli Garcia
toushinai was an old school tournament with old school rules
Jacob Barnes
Fanservice is important to fighting games because it makes money. It works. It's why people still give a shit about Darkstalkers. Fanservice isn't just a Blazblue thing, its literally in every fighting game with a female.
Also why do you care about dignity from video games. In general, video games tend to have really trashy character designs. Fighting games usually have some of the most trashiest designs you can find in video games. If you can't stand trash designs and want sophistication, you will be hard pressed to find it in video games let alone fighting games.
Thomas Brown
Because in Japan, it's either ft1 or ft10. You don't get Bo3 or Bo5 there for tournaments very often.
Kayden Brooks
Use spoiler tags shithead
Chase Rogers
Dude...you're in /blaz/
Levi Cruz
Follow the replies, I'm arguing against the one who started complaining about the "integrity" of the franchise.
John Jackson
So what's it normally, FT10 like this guy said? FT1 doesn't really give either player time to adapt though
Lincoln Allen
Who has the worst Astral?
Parker Reyes
Naoto, Susan's also pretty bad for a new character
Cameron Wood
Naoto having Ragna's recycled felt like a waste. With Lambda I understand, but Naoto is just more unique in general for that.
Nicholas Anderson
Arakune
Leo Turner
Bullet's Astral is just underwhelming enough to fit her character, so I'll say Susan.
Austin Campbell
Arcade tournament standard in japan used to be FT1, it was like that for ages, hence the old school. In both north and south america, also in china I think, the arcade standard was best of 3, and best of 5 for 3D games where you die fast like doa or soul cal and shit and in the last like 20 years or so it's been adopted heavily by japanese since it's typically a better gauge of who's better than a first to 1.
Gavin Phillips
I like Susan's, he just breaks everything. Sure I expected something different but I found it pretty fitting.
Owen Hughes
It's just so boring considering how Hazama and Terumi's astrals look great. I understand they wanted to make a parallel to Hakumen's astral but just filling the screen with green and black stuff wish Susan staying mostly still is really lazy. Specially since the guy is the final boss and story unlock
Cooper Campbell
The sword slashes have no impact though which really kills the effect, it is visually interesting, but so is Es which is also pretty bad
Colton Fisher
CS Mu
Oliver Carter
Hibiki's astral could have been really cool but the character sprite turning around looks goofy as fuck
Kayden Perry
I don't disagree but I guess the thematics worked for me since his entire character exists to break everything Amaterasu made and his strength is enough for just one slash to do all that damage.
Luke Sullivan
I dont even think JP has blazblue avatars at least not recently
Dominic Jenkins
which one of you fucks keeps shitposting in /v/ about buying ____'s game i know its one of youfuckers
Michael Young
Maifag
Joseph Wood
Some memeing Maifag more like. Not sure how the actual one feels about Blazblue threads being filled with sissys looking for a place to call their own after healslut threads disappeared.
Either way, i hate both
Thomas Turner
I don't make threads on /v/. Stop blaming me for every post you dislike.
William Young
Pretty sure it's not
Oliver Rivera
TWO
COUNT THEM
TWO DAYS
Christian Morris
When another game with male (female) shows up It'll die. Probably
John Ortiz
TSUKINUKERU
Easton Martin
If it takes too long for psn to update i rage.
Evan Jackson
>My Copy of CF still hasn't shipped It'll show up on time r-right?
