Blazblue Cross Tag Battle: Weeb Marvel

misterBee · June 5, 2018

So I picked up the game today thinking this would be Marvel for babies but it has quite a few mechanics. Looking forward to stomping @GetTheTables and anyone else here who decides they want to pick it up. 😃

I tried to escape from crossing fate, but was unable to. 👹

Game definitely seems neat with more time in on it. I figured it had some hope mechanically when DevilJin was willing to buy in.

Playing Kanji + x to start. It feels good to play Kanji again even if he is pretty heavily remixed from P4AU (not like everyone isn't heavily remixed for this game). Right now I have Es riding shotgun since she a) has a big sword, b) has big boobs, and c) has some good projectiles so she seems like a good compliment.

There are some things that are definitely throwing me off. I keep trying to dash by double tapping, and the fact that you can't super cancel outside of Resonance confused me at first. Also trying to get a sense of what to do for combo construction since you don't really have normals to work with; seems to be more about stringing together the autocombo components, specials, and assists. Even with not knowing much I was able to string together what seem like some decent combos (hitting around the 7k range).

Definitely looking forward to playing more. Gonna try to split time between SFV and this tonight after work.

Combo construction seems pretty simple to me. Hit A or B until you get to the starter you want, then go from there. Some characters like Yukiko only get certain normals if you are holding back, which makes certain inputs interesting. I haven't done too many combos involving two characters yet but seems fun. I thought not being able to dash forward would fuck with me, but the constant run is actually pretty neat.

Let's set up some games today!

Yeah it actually threw me because it is easier than I expected. I figured that it would be similar to P4A or DBFZ where you'd want to use part of the auto-combo string to get the combo started then continue from there, but since the auto combos are the only real way you're going to get chains you use them more than I thought you would. Its much closer to P4A (or at least my experience with Kanji in that) which is sort of nice.

I'm definitely up for trying to get some games in today. Sort of depends on how much time I get between work and class in the evening but I'll hit you up if I have enough time to run some sets.

If not today, definitely soon. I'm interested to see how the online holds up; the beta worked really well for me so hopefully that is still the case.

Sounds good! You got a better way to message ppl besides PSN or forum PMs? Maybe Whatsapp or something like that? Last few times I almost missed your messages -- lucky I checked my e-mail in time.

I'm up for using something like that. I already have discord so maybe we could make an srk2 server or something like that for game coordination.

That said I don't have a preference on anything. If there is something that you've found works well I'm all for using that. Just let me know.

@Angel already has a discord for this place:

I use Whatsapp more than anything though. I'll PM you for details.

GetTheTables · June 6, 2018

I'll give Whatsapp a spin.

You and I are the only ones brave enough to face the world of anime so no need for discord. 😎

@misterBee GGs man, sorry we got such a late start. I got sort of lost in training mode for a minute (its really fun to try to figure out team combos turns out) and being befuddled by not being able to player invite to a room.

Game is fun! Connection actually reminded me of P4A: little hiccup at the start every once in awhile but the matches ran smooth after that. Definitely looking forward to playing more.
