I only started playing anime fighters recently since i only used to play smash and had nothing to play and had to wait for the new one. I dont fully understand numpad notations but i guess for new players just learning a few combos in challenge mode is enough to keep playing.

Hokage of gaming I got use to numpad notations because they were used in Gundam Vs series and it made sense at the time because it’s a 3D Arena game. But you get use to it like with anything. When I first got into fighting games it was SFIV and the first Blazblue game. Before that they made little sense to me but then I found the fun in fighting games. I prefer anime fighters because of the range of movement and motions and not to mention combos. Combos are 80% of the fun to me. Challenge mode is fun but I encourage you to practice combos from videos you watch. That’s what I do. Watching Fenritti and seeing the situations he’s in and applying it to my play. As well as combos. I’m also an avid smash player. Brawl was my first serious go at the game then went back to Melee after learning the tech lol. I just love fighting games in general. If not to play, I’ll watch it and listen to people talk about games they love.

I start to take my games more serious once i can find my local community, i haven't been able to find one for BB yet (wasn't this one in GA?) so that i have people i can ask for help face to face. I would love to learn more but i think you can see where my lack of motivation comes from, its not to say im fine at my level but i have no reason yet to put the same effort i did in smash,but ill keep on playing blazblue

That's how I got to BB, discovered fighting games videos on KZfaq and BB was the first one available for PC and also extremely hype. 2014 EVO cheering for Galileo was extremely tense and entertaining even for someone who never played the game (yet)

JPNox that Grand Finals was AMAZEBALLS. Watched it in my room and my roommate was in his room next door watching it too and we were screaming at each other through the wall. BlazBlue is just a great game.

I'll be watching for you. ( I won't be playing but I'll watch your matches)

Have you done it yet?

Did ya make it yet?

Wey Cool optimal Nine is easily a top tier, possibly the top of top tier. but that applies to a few characters, Izanagi being the prime example of this.

some if her normals are very committal and you can prepare to whatever she's gonna do

Withered by Currents

Yeah I thought I was losing my mind there for a second when that match repeated.

MrAmd080 what do you mean? I thought you meant it was oppression session on him but it seemed like he did some damage .o.

I meant it in the sense he was out of gas. His decision making was off, especially compared to the previous matches, which is the difference between playing and watching the match unfold before you. He definitely wasn't lying about being really tired by the end.

honestly is just stressed of being comeback by the Jin Twice, he only has to play one extra or maybe 2 extra match, tired is just an excuse

No. Those mistakes don't come from stress, he was defaulting to what his body is used to do rather than making actual decisions. He used to play like that for most of BBCF1 and he had to adapt to BBCF2. Muscle memory doesn't kick in from stress, is what I am saying.

"a recent study conducted in 2017 [5] suggested that it is not only the methodology of our decision-making which is altered under chronic stress, but also our ability to make a reliable cost-benefit evaluation" I opened up with that quote to make the point that stress can indeed lead to the making of bad decisions. (The study even goes on to describe an experiment done on rats which showed that their decision making under stress was "non-optimal decision-making") Muscle memory is actually most likely to kick in when we are stressed as it is like our body's second nature and that's what our body knows so instead of thinking rationally and properly assessing the situation, stress leads to the person going back to something they know, something familiar. I'm not saying SKD wasn't tired props to him for making it that far but I still think he would've had some adrenaline pumping considering this was his most important match of the day.
